Is there a baby or young children in your home?, If there is you should not be without a box of Baby's Own Tablets. Childhood ailments come quickly and means should always be at hand to promptly fight them. Baby's Own Tablets are the ideal home remedy. They regulate the bowels; sweeten the stomach; banish constipation and indigestion; break up colds and simple fevers—in fact they relieve all the minor ills of little ones. Concerning them Mrs. Molse Cabotte, Makamik, Quebec, writes:- "Baby's rites:"Baby's Own Tablets are the best remedy in the world for little ones. My baby suffered terribly from -indi- gestion and vomiting, but the Tablets soon set her right and now she is in perfect health." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. JAPAN HAS FEW SONGS The Japanese, it appears, are al- most songless. They have singing in- sects (cicadae), which they imprison in tiny cages of horsehair or bamboo, singing birds and musical frog that sing or whistle. Only the geisha girls sing, the fishermen sailing in their sampans on the placid Inland Sea hum drowsy tunes, and the coolies carry- ing heavy freight aboard the steam- ers in the seaports chant rhythmical- ly to lighten their burdens. With the introduction of European music, af- ter the decline of the shoguns, there sprang up certain specialized songs, as shoka (songs to be sung in schools), gunka (military songs) and sanbika (missionary songs) ), but out- side of schools, barracks and missions they were not popular. The intelli= gent Japanese immemorially have dis- liked collective singing, preferring to be attentive listeners to a song rather than participate in it. At feasts only one person at a time may sing; to join in the chorus shows lack of ap- preciation. _ Observing the abandon with which 'Westerners indulge in song regardless cf its artistic merit, they are, how- ever, beginning to lament their inca- pacity for collective singing. Keizo Horiuchi, writing in the Tokio "Nichi Nichi," asserts his countrymen are alone among civilized peoples in their condition of national songlessness. "Why is it we have no songs to sing?" asks Horiuchi. "In foreign lands it is inspiring to see people at festisvals, public gatherings or im- promptu meetings burst into spon- taneous song; it awakens a spirit of liveliness and joy; it makes for con- viviality and at times it stirs patrio- tic sentiments. But in our co-Intr.)/ the people either have no ear for singing or are too polite to join in when an - ether sings. We find pleasure only in listenin' . It is regrettable that there are many Japanese who cannot sing even the national anthem. `Kimigayo.' As the Japanese have taken up Western instrumental music enthusi- astically, until it is now almost as popular as native music, mere indif- ference or unmusicalness cannot be held responsible for their aversion to public singing. The reason is more fundamental. In the days of the sho- guns the theme of song was almost exclusively of heroic deeds in battle, description of combat and scaling of castle walls and personal praise of warriors with polished words and rattling armour of lacquered wood. As it related a story, often of consider- able length, it had to. be rendered by a soloist who must command respect- ful silence in order to be understood. When the Japanese began to take a forward place among other nations -the Japanese Army officials realized the advantages of sentimental songs 'to cheer their troops and to maintain morale. They noticed that among British and American troops songs, • not necessarily patriotic, aroused a spirit of unity. Accordingly when the Russo-Japanese War broke out the Japanese generals hastened to have some songs composed. At the siege of Fort Arthur the great fortress was likened in a 'gong to a fair damsel which the Ja anese •troops were try- ing to woo." The son had the desir- ed psychological effect and shared with bullets the glory of Port Arthur's capitulation. But the song was soon forgotten and the Japanese soldier rsf to -day, like the rest of his country - Men, silently sips tea while listening enraptured to a soloist's glorification of a medieval shogun. The most recent authority on the popularity of Western instrumental music is "Japan To -day and To -mor- row," published in Osaka, which says: "Western music is now an essential part of Japanese culture, although only sixty years have elapsed since its introduction to the people. Most of the classical selections popular in Western countries are familiar to many Japanese, and an appreciable number of capable violinists, pianists, vocalists, composers and orchestras are available for their interpretation. The Japanese, having an inherent love for the arts, have been quick to ab- sorb the beauties of such music and have made it their own. Musicians of fame are as yet few in the country, but before many years, judging by present progress, the Japanese people will be represented in the Valhalla of the muse by many worthy perform- ers." The music of the West began to percolate into Japan in 1868. The first brass band was formed in the army a few years later under British and Cerman instructors. Only wind instru- ments were used at first, but by 1880 strings were employed. By concentrat- ing the Japanese began to understand n era and symphonies. Now they ev- Pn understand jazz. SEVERAL DAINTY WAYS TO USE STRAWBERRIES The strawberry season is a very short one, and the 'flavor and -condi- tion of this fruit are greatly depend- ent upon the weather. When they are good and plentiful, the most should e made of them. Early summer fruits like straw- berries, which mash easily, may be washed by puttini . ,,in a colander or coarse sieve Ace a ping them in a pan full of water, or holding them under a tap and allowing water to .low over them with little force. This washing process should be finished quickly and the berries not allowed to stand in water. They should he washed before hul- ling or stemming them so as to re- tain as much juice as possible. The juice is the most valuable part of the berries. If the supply of strawberries is 'imited, or if time -for preparation is at a premium, they may be combined with other food materials, in a palat- able way; crushed and mixed with beaten egg white to make a snow— or baked in a souffle, or with whip- ped cream is a mousse of parfait. With gelatin, numerous berry dishes may be prepared. Combined with less perishable fruits, such as apples. pineapples or bananas, more nutri- tive value is given and labor is less- ened. Breakfast Strawberries. Geranium leaves laid on a plate ov- er a paper doily makes a pretty base on which to serve large strawberries with hulls. Powdered sugar may be heaped in the centre of the plate. Strawberry Cocktail. Cut fresh strawberries in halves. Place in cocktail glasses and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Add crushed pineapple to fill the glasses. Garnish with a whole strawberry and serve very cold. Strawberry Icing. For a fresh layer cake, try an icing made with butter and sugar creamed together as for an ordinary mocha icing, and crushed strawberries add- ed. Use less butter and more sugar than for plain icing, because the' strawberries will take up so much. It will be still very moist, and must be eaten with a fork. Strawberry Dumplings. Mix one and one-half cupfuls of slightly chopped strawberries with about 1 cupful granulated sugar. Make a rich biscuit dough, roll thin and line greased muffin pans with it, Partly fill with the fruit, then pinch the edges of the dough together well, blush with milk and bake about 25 minutes in fairly hot oven, 400 -to 450 degrees F. Serve hot with hard settee. Steamed Strawberry Puffs. One cupful flour, two teaspoonfuls baking powder, 14 teaspoonful salt, 14 cupful segar, 1/a cupful milk, two cupfuls Strawberries, I egg. 1 table- spoonful melted butter, '/i cupful sugar. Mix and sift the dry ingredients, add the milk, beaten egg and fat. Cut the strawberries, add the sugar and mix thoroughly to dissolve the sugar. Place three tablespoonfuls of this strawberry sauce in a custard cup and cover with a tablespoonful of the batter. Steam the .puffs for twenty minutes and serve warm with cream and sugar or foaming Sauce. A Dessert for Special Occasions. Fill a dessert glass with strawber- ry ice, and smooth off the top level with the edge of the glass. In the centreplace half a small peach, very ripe, or canned. Fill the dentre cav- ity with sweetened whipped cream. Make a border of fresh strawberries i° _ I Lt 9s 01 SSI - ...-keve Styles omen'a ran s D- Light or Dark Greys, also Blues, Browns and Sands, single or double breasted, wide or medium legs.
