SEA FURNISHES MUCH FOOD

The tinlted States hits vlini Is wild
to be the moat valuable fishery In the
vorld but probably not ouu person

vvery seacoitst state from Cie Cod
to the Itlo Grande nnd from Pusot
ionnd up to iJnti Francisco nnd It
yields Riimiully ubout llC.OOO tonV of
food Hs prepared for consumption tin
Mjulvalent of -lOO.MX) dressed steers.
It. employs about 07000 persons and
ft Ft tin tin 1 product as U comes from
the water. Is valued at over 10000.-
000. There are other fisheries Hint
possibly exceed It In the ulttmnte
initio of their products but In such
cnM" much labor and material and a
fienv Investment of cnpltal have been
concerned In uiauiifacturliiK operations

CHINESE TURNING TO SPORTS
Necessity for Physical Culture Is Be-
Blnnlnu. to Be Recognized In the
New Republic
Physical culture and all types of
athletics were until very recently
held In contempt by the Chinese and
consequently (lie Shanghai boys did
not know what the Joy of indulging In
Iwseball and other sports meant says
1 Joys' Life. Ages ago chariot driving
rrchery nnd the other classic sports
played an Important part In Chinese
education. With the dawning of
Chirm's literary golden age however
the scholars could not see bow mental
perfection could he attained' If there
was any thought of athletic prowess
Muscles and brawn they said be-
longed to the peasant nnd the gentle-
J.inn of culture should show his good
brooding by a scholnry pallor stooped
phuutdcrs end a general unhealthy ap.
Tnls attitude toward physical deveb
tjmfit".pendtecl Tor centuries. nnd ifl
has been only within the last few do-
rndcft that Interest has been vouch-
safed In snorts. With the Introduc-
tion of new educational methods and
the entrance of occidental theories
Into the orient athletics once more
came Into their own and the Chinese
student tucked up his cue and bis
dignity nnd wont In for pole vaulting
nnd hurdling.
China has now the Idea tbnt a tui-
tion's ecenonilc prnt-res depends large-
ly on the healthy bodies and mind
of Its citizens and missionaries find

YIELDS TO MARCH OF TIME
Old Hotel In Qulney Mass. Associated
With Famous Men Ig to Become
Business Block.
The old Hancock house situated In
City square Qulney has ceased to be a
hotel. The present owner of the pro-
erty Henry M. Faxon Is to have the
upper part removed nnd the first floor
converted Into a InrRe business block.
;i'lie hotel has only provided sleeping
quarters for a number of years.
In the days of the otd stage conch
the Hancock house was one of the
lending hotels of southeastern Massa-
chusetts and the first place to which
traveler." resorted for refreshments.
Among the distinguished men who
have been entertained there was Dan-
iel Webster jtunjj to and from his
home on the old Plymouth couch. On
Recount of Mr. Webster's liberality In
dispensing good rhcur It was frequent-
ly a long time before the coach was
'able to proceed on Its trip. Mr. Web-
ster yas always generous In his tips to
the stable bojs and bell hops of those
ancient days and history mys that he
often thre.v $." goldpleees to the scram-bllng-boys
In the hotel yard.
Thu present struciiirt was built In
18317 but several years ago the ground
lloor was remodeled Into stores and
only thu tippur part was used as the
hotel propr. When Adams acailomy
was In Its prime it be place was used as
a boat ding house for students who
cume to Qulney from other cities and
states nml were obliged to make their
abode In the city of presidents.
TURNING TO HOME GARDENS
Indications Are That People Are Be.
ginning to Realize the Danger of
a Food Famine.
A local seed slore was crowded with
customers.
"What does this mom)?" the propri-
etor was a.sked. .
"I guess It menus that other people
are thinking what I do" he said
"(hat unlcs food production Is spad-
ed up there'll be famine conditions In
this country In ID'Jl. Farmers say they
can't get help In order t produce our
food as usual and It's up to every man
to help himself. We run as high as
1.200 customers a day here. This Is In
addition to a big mail-order business.
It's going to keep up like this all
through the mouth too. it did last
year."
The seed man said that sales Indi-
cated Jhal peions whir decided to re-
tire from the home-garden business
now that the wur Is over have
changed tJielr Ideas and that the num
ber of home gardens Is Increasing in-
stead of diminishing.
He added that It Is strange that
while ..ilfViv was mueb "crop shortage
. . T
last joar seeds of all kinds with the
probable exception of pens are In am

Stenographer Extraordinary.
Two members of thu bar were trying
a replevin suit In (lie superior court
recently nnd In tbe course of the trial
got Into a sharp wrangle as lawyers
sometimes do over the admission of a
certain piece of evidence. The wrangle
.resolves) Itself Into an oral battle In
which both law or tried to talk at
once.
They spoke In loud tones and at a
rapid-lire gait. When the smoke li'id
cleared away and the ease was over
they wen- iUlte surprised to learn iKit
the court stenographer had bee'i able
to get down In his book ev-.'o word
they hud suld despite the fact they
were both talking at !) same time.
Thu clerk of courts commented on the
feat.

Nut Butter Is Wholesome.
Cocoa butter as nut butter Is called
In Kuglnnd. was not accepted with on-
tlnilii.siii by the HrlHsh public when
natural butted became scarce during
the war so the food committee of the

tests of Its effects on human beings.

by the body ; It causes no digestive

quantities Hh'iw a slightly laxative ef-
