some one was content to spend many sleepless, weary nights and tiresome days
of toil guarding us from ills of childhood, protecting us from our little tempta

chance to grow up into strong, intelligent men—and all this W ITHOUT hope ot

rOM Tokio comes the story of the first
Japanese breach of promise suit. Miss
Hedc Noxawa has won $10,000 heart balm
from Soaahira Vanaka. The highest court in
Japan awarded the lady that sum.
" f*or centuries Jap beaux have given them
*elv*s the privilege of promising matrimony
as often as they pleased and backing out
again when they liked.
The girl and her feeling- were not worthy
©f consideration to them. It didn't do Miss
Jap any good to save "the letters" and show
the engagement ring—if they have such a
fing in Nippon—for women over there were
hot supposed to have any rights. They were
Considered rac.»e or less as chattels.
• Now it's different!
The Jap swain hereafter will be rare fill
•bout the promises he makes to his be>t girl.
Will he? Or will he be like the American
youth—promise and trust to luck to get out
of it ?
But the girl of Nippon—she will be far
surer of her "'catch" when she gets him on the
"hook" than she has been in the past—also
she can begin saving up the "letters," care
fully tying them in baby ribbon and storing
them away in the attic trunk for use when
the young man shows indications of trans
ferring his affections.
Why Is a Corn? Why Does It
Hurt?
EDITOR STAR —Tell me something about corns.
Why;*>' v * »»• come—have they roots? H. W
THE change in the weather must have
pinched yours, too, H. W.—your question
gives us a fellow feeling wondrous kind.
A corn is caused by chaffing the skin. To
get acquainted with a corn, you must first get
acquainted with the There are several
layers of it—the top, or epidermis, the -econd
or "true skin." which contains the nerves and
blood vessels, and then a layer that contains
muscles and hair follicles.
' The first { inch of the shoe rubs the top
if the chaffing continues the next layer
fthickens, then a core sometimes called a
f*root." but which i< not a root, lornis. By
this time you have a hard tissue boring thru
each layer of skin and thru the -ensitive net
work of nerves. Every pressure from above
J>ass>es thru this core or hard tissue and shoot

You Should Worry If
it were difficult to find a safe and reliable remedy for the
ailment 3 due to irregular or defective action of the stomach,
liver or bowels. These ailments are iikely to attack
anyone; likely, too, to lead to worse sickness if not relieved.
Beeepanfa Pills
are famous the world over, for their power to correct these
troubles certainly and safely. They cleanse the system, purify
the blood and act as a general tonic upon body, brain and nerves.
