uries would be necessary do away with tackling

about in proportion to the number injured in mass

The best way to reform the game would be to
insist the observance of existing rules Inculcate
the players with the idea that it is unfair and dis
honorable to foul their adversaries, whether the
referee is looking or not, and work up public
sentiment that will impel the spectators to hiss and
boot the player who does such thing, and one of
the worst features of the game will be eliminated

PRESIDENT RoosEvELT's recent philippe
against Malthusianism and plea for larger families
which appears to have eclipsed in the popular mind
all his former utterances is sometimes spoken of
by the papers departure on the part of the
President The fact is that it is nothing of the
kind. The raising Of large families has always been
part of hisphosophy Of life at least SO far as it
possible to judge by his writings and published
speeches. His celebrated address on "The Strenu-
GUS Life" delivered before the Hamilton Club of
Chicago, April 10, 1899, contains the following
sentences: s"The man must be glad to do mans
work, to dare and endure and to labor to keep him
self, and to keep those dependent upon him. The
woman must be the housewife, the helpmeet of the
homemaker, the wise and fearless mother of many
healthy children. In one of Daudets powerful and
melancholy books he speaks of the fear of maternity
the haunting terror of the young wife of the present
day. When such words can be truthfully written of
nation, that nation is rotten to the hearts core
When men fear work or righteous war, when women
fear motherhood. they tremble the brink of DOOM
and we'll it is that they should vanish from the earth
where they are fit subjects for the Of all
and women who are themselves strong and brave and
high minded" All of which is the recent celebrated
letter in another form.
The doctrine is sound and inspiring, and is cal
culated to reach the best class of citizens but it is
the same thing the President has been preaching
right along.

DRUGGISTS assert that the cocaine habit is max
ing enormous strides in America. Ten persons now
use the drug where one used it five years ago, and
those addicted to it are by means always of the
dregs OF society. Last week 17-year-od girl com
mtted suicide in Kansas City because she had
become slave to cocaine and could not do without
it, and if the truth were known many others just as
unfortunate would be discovered.
In many instances cocaine users are deserving
of nothing but sympathy-not condemnation. They
contracted the habit or disease, without having the
least idea what they doing The drug has gained
mastery them disguised as harmless
remedy for colds catarrh Almost all the so-called
catarrh cures contain, chemists say considerable
percentage of cocaine, while many of them contain
little else but the drug It is this that gives the
feeling of exhieration after using them It is need
less to say that they do not cure fact their re-
action is great that it is worse than the disease
itself Until law is passed prohibiting the use of
cocaine in patent medicines it is we'll to observe the
utmost caution in using them, and, where you have
even suspicion of the presence of cocaine not to
use them at all.

which have left their mark, but
who has SO recuperated and re-
juvenated that mentally and
physically he is as young as he
was at twenty. But under the
hypnotic influence of few million
suggestions by the world that men
of his age are old, the probabilities
are that in the course of Is or 100
years he will be forced to yield to
this influence and begin to feel
that old age is really coming.
Every man, woman and child
should bear in mind that fifty
years roll by in just a few months,
and indeed in few minutes, and
if they would cease trying to
hypn otize the world into old age
the. world would be happier,
younger, more industrious and
prosperous and thousands of years
OF usefulness would be added to it,.
Again we cannot refrain from
taking shot at Both Sides; and by
the way, Both Sides is a decidedly
one-sided paper published in
Minneapolis. Mr.. "Smiler'' of that
paper makes the boast that two
million people derive their living
through the production and sale of
liquor, that about one billion dol
lars is the capital invested in the
liquor traffic, and the gentleman
adds that if lot Of short-sighted
ninnies had their way millions of
dollars would be Withdrawn from
circulation and thousands of per-
sons thrown out Of employment.
Any person who would advocate q
measure of that sort is big fool
So says "Smiler'' in Both Sides.
Can "Smiler" be so short-sighted
as to think the readers are so.
short-sighted that they will fail to-.
see how illogical, INCONSISTENT, alb
surd and foolish are his declara-
tons? Is the money invested in
the liquor traffic SO different from.

as profitable and more legitimate?s
Gould not that money find a cir
culation as beneficial as charitable.
as legitimate, as productive of
goodness in other channels, in
other industries as in the liquor
traffic? Does the liquor business,
so degrade men that if thousands
of them we're thrown out Of en-
ployment they could not make a
living in any other walk of life?'
Is the saloon the last and only
resort to which the saloonkeeper
must cling to enable him to exist?
Are there not few other occupa-
tons and Industries in the world,
and does not the liquor man and
the would-be liquor man have an
opportunity to find some of them?'
But ''Smiler" is brimful of in
constituencies, dishwashy ideas and
other things, and very nearly every
week they crop out in some very
inconsistent, dishwater or fire wa
ter form.

two or three persons conceived the

ODDS AND ENDS.

Half dozen lines in a late issue
OF Success contain six thousand tons
of wisdom, for they >say that men
who do things, who achieve results,
have strong convictions; they. be-
lieve something in particular and
believe it without reservation. A
man who is-willing to fight for an
idea, to sacrifice everything in
order to develop it, has something
definite in his life, a specific GER
tainty that will bring him out
somewhere in the neighborhood Of
success. A man without policy,
without definite purpose, without
a strong conviction Of any kind,
who believes little of everything
and not much of anything, who is
easily persuaded to abandon any
idea be has conceived, whether
feasible or not, who does not hold
on to any one thing tenaciously,
will not accomplish much in the
world.
Pleasure is what is intended and
sought, in all social functions, re-
ceptions, drawing-rooms, court
functions, etc. But can ybody be
made to believe there is any pleas
ure for the king, queen or any
other person who goes through
the stiff necked performance of a
kings reception? After woman
has expended $500 for her court
outfit and undergone months and
years of instruction by a lot Of
flunkies to attain the proper Dig
nifty required in the bow, the
kneeling and in the reverential,
awe-stricken, scared-to-death ex-
preston when she gets near the
king. when or where or in what
part of the performance does she
find pleasure?
Most sensible people would trade
the pleasures of that function for a
dog and then shoot the dog and
the performance.
"Given a person of a nervous or
imaginative temperament = not
necessarily weak-and it is well
known fact that if several people
insist that he looks i'll he will
actually become i'll. Almost any
one will be affected if such an
assertion is continually reiterated
to him. This is hypnotism by
means of oral suggestion. 1t is
one of the things illustrating the
tremendous power of the mind
over the body"
Thus runs an editorial in late
issue of The MIRROR, and these
thoughts supply food for still
deeper thought along broader lines.
Many people possess the happy
faculty of bearing trouble, mis-
fortune, affection lightly but there
are tens of thousands of persons
who seem to be utterly unable in
their weakness to overcome the
tendency to break down to a.
greater or less extent, under their
burdens of grief, and the world
either carelessly, thoughtlessly or
for deliberate meanness seems to
overlook no opportunity to remind
them of their misfortune.
If mans troubles bear down
10 heavily upon him as to cause
him to age Is or 100 years in
short time, it is unfair, unchari-
liable, bad form and in every way
improper to seek to remind him of |
It, by insinuation, by thought, by |
speaking of every man who has
reached middle life or years Of
usefulness, as being an old man.
There is altogether too much of
his kind of hypnotism in the
world. A few days ago man
