Most of the Chinese in America. are lnundrynicn, or mnkeiheirmoney in stores pntronized und sustained by Inundrymen. Anil the funny part of it is there are no iaundries in China. Everybody knows how to wash in Chin ,nnd eve-yhrdy knows how io cook. All families of any conscqurnce, however, niaintuin servants who perform these duties.

the size of his fnniily calls -for it, when John Chinunmn starts to build n model domestic establishment he doesn‘t cou-

sirler it complete without thc given num- ber of doors. \Vhcther he acquires the means to build as a merchant or scholar it is all the snme. Scholarship and the passing of examinations take the place of politics as practiced in America; merely civil service as set forth by a non- eiective dynasty. A debt is never outlawed in ommi. if

you owe n thing you owe it till `it's paid. If you don't pay lt, your heirs and your assigns nnd your whole relationship owe it until it is paid. Custom is stronger than law in China, for, though the law may excuse or nullify a debt, the integrity of Chinese commercial custom depends upon the perpetual lite of an obligation. I Every married man must have n son in

Chinn. It doesn't make any difference

must acquire a son if he has to go to -the extreme of adopting one. It is hard to get an educated Chinese to admit that lt is necessary to the correct form of worship

ness hours. ile works when there is work to do. If he is n farmer or a man of the soil he gets his crop in, cuiiivnies it nssldiously to its fullest extent and tl.cn takes his rest while the crop matures. Of course, there are odd _ioi»s,and chores to do, nnd regnlnr dnys to go to market and Ulfhel” lhiiiiiii to engage him, but on the whole he nims to take things e»\syfm\:noon “H 'file Ween of the rice begins to turn. if he is n merchant he opens up store as soon as he thinks there should be busi- ness doing and closes when he thinks it time. if he is a.u\nn of aflbirs he lnnkos

THE How AND 4

WHY or IT."

“Fruit-a-tives” are the parts

of the fruit that do you good. Apples, Oranges, Figs and Prunes are pressed-the juices separated from the tough, woody iibrtwand concentra- ted. Then-(and this is the secret of “Fruit-a-tives”)-- one more atom of bitter prin- ciple from the orange peels is forced into the concentrated. fruit juices." By this process -one of the most remarkable achievements of the agtwthe juices are made stronger, and many times more active medi- cinally. Finest tonics and internal antiseptics are added, and the whole evaporated and pressed into tablets. “Fruit- a-tives" are the greatest tonic, laxative and blood purifying medicine ever discovered.
