To imagine that il a little work or ex-
ercise is good violent or prolonged exer-
else is better.
To behave that children can do as much
work as grown people and that tho moro
they study the more they learn.
To go to bed late at night and rise at

To eat HI il you had only minute in
which to finish the meal or to eat without

The ghost of India, represented
in silver rupee forced to an artific
ial valure go per cent higher than
the market price of the metal, is still
haunting the dreams of the English
financiers. The attempt to establish
a gold standard in this silver using
country has proved complete and
absolute admittedly so by
the highest authorities in the king
dom. The London Times admits
that review of financial conditions
in India forms "very grave reading"
Tao Pioneer, government organ at
Calcutta, declares that s'the present
situation is intolerable." s'The recur
rent starving of the country up to
the gold point" says the Calcutta
Englishman, sand then letting loose
a few lakhs of telegraphic transfers

All agree that the gold standard
attempt is failure; and, what is more
to the point, that it is impossible of
success.
