Sisters Who Rule China

gO far as it is ruled at all, China is , now governed by three sister.-!, says Mr. Julian Grande, author of a definitely pvo-.Tapnnese book, “Japan’s Place in the World,” who describes them as “perhaps the ablest women it has been my privilege to meet.” “They are Mrs Sun Yat Sen, widow of the late Dr. Sun Yat Sen, Mrs Cliiang Kai Slick, the wife of the Com-maiulcr-in-Chief, and Mrs IT, H. luing, the wife of the present Finance Minister; all three arc members of the famous Soong family, to which Mr. T.

“The big point in the case for’ nudism is that nakedness is healthy. A large part of “The Commonsense of Nudism” is, therefore, devoted to a survey of sun-bathing arid the utility of various “light treatments.” The discussion on the health aspects of sun-bathing prove of interest, and even of value hero to our own stt/t----bakers, its it exposes certain fallacies and dangers in regard to sun-baking.
