There is more than a grain Of truth
In the statement recently made that
In our scramble for new breakfast
foods we have failed to appreciate the
nourishing, health-giving properties Of
corn and Of corn meal. And the con-
text Of the statement mentioned deals
in facts when 1t says that the mush
and milk of few years back produced
children of ruddier hue than those
we are accustomed to see in these
times. Corn meal is possessed of just
those properties that make it highly
suitable winter food. Besides this, it
seems an accompaniment the most
natural for pork chops, sausages and
such things that we Americans favor
for cold weather breakfasts. Let us
take, then, course in corn products.

The Chicago cyclist who was killed
at Paris by motorcycle pacing ma
chine, was sacrificed to the twentieth
century rage for sport involving peril
to human life. The old-faadoned
recrea lions and amusements have be-
come too tame. We want something
with the favor Of the Roman amphi-
theater in it. There is nothing inspir-
ing in the spectacle of a man on BIZ
cycle following gasoline motor round
and round short, circular track. The
performance, even If 1t results In Glow
ering a record" is neither of interest
nor Of value. There Is no genuine
diving from high mast into a narrow,
shallow tank Of water. There Is moth
ing really edfy1ng in the spectacle of
man going up In a balloon, hanging
by his toes to the bar Of a trapeze.
There is nothing amusing in the per
Torrance of the lion tanner who enters
the cage of his pets and puts them
through their tricks. In every case the
element Of human-or, rather, 1nhu.
man-interest lies in the possibility
that man may be killed or badly
hurt. All the looping the loops" and
shooting the chutes" by bicycle riders
and all the kindred exhibitions where
the slightest accident means death are
certain to draw an audience not be-
cause these performances are interest
Ing in themselves but because people
are continually awaiting the mishap
that is certain to occur sooner or later.
Humanity is not necessarily cruel, but
1t hungerS for new sensations. 1t
wants to Geel a vicar1ous thrill as it
watches it's fellow man toy with death.
And II the man plays once too often
with the grim destroyer the audience,
though it may be loud in dts expires
sionS Of horror and sympathy, knows
down in it's collective heart that it was
just the horror that it was expecting
and hoping for. Since we are, these
days, debarred from the combats of
wild beasts and glad1ators, we take
our horrors In a different form, but
the appetite for blood Is there just the
game

Soldiers of "the disappearing army"
as the veterans of the Civil War have
been termed, are dying at the rate Of
l00 every day, from sunrise to sun
rise. This pathetic showing ls made
by the quarterly statement OF the PEN
ston Bureau, given out by Commission
or Ware. The mortality among soldier
pensioners Of all wars and classes last
year was 81 ,27S deaths, Of which soon
were volunteer soldiers In the Civil
War. Commissioner Ware estimates
that there are from $50. 900 to 10000
soldiers Of the Civil War who are not

lowed by better results than that done
In the summer or fall. Telephone poles
are grown, in Maryland, from healthy
stumps in from thirty-five to thirty
eight years, and ties may probably be
cut In about twenty-nine years. Too
early cutting Of ties should be dis.
couraged as wasteful in the long run.
The practice of permitting contractors
to cut unrestrictedly for a given snm

It may be only by stretch Of mean
ing that the various proposed inter-
national languages are called tongues, !"
but If the use of that word is permissi-
BILE, certainly the confusion of tongues
that is being brought upon us by the
talented language inventors Of the
present day bids fair to be worse than
the confusion that resulted from the
unfortunate incident at the tower OF
Babel. Volapuk was one Of the lead
ers in the race for fame in this field,
and Esperanto is more actively assert
ing its claims just at the present time
than any other such language With
out mentioning other attempts, there is
also 'Tutonish," which was. recently in
troduced to the world by a Tacoma
genius and was exploited in lengthy
paper at the American Germanic Con
gress at St Louis. Is 1t not necessary
now to suggest to the language invent
ors that the first step In bringing the
world to common denominator of
speech is for them to get together and
decide upon common denomination
among themselves? 1t would be easier,
one may suspect, for Esperanto, for
example, to drive Tutonish out of ex-
istence than for either or both Of them
to reduce English and German and
French to the status Of barbarous dia-
lects. 1t would also be easier for the
world to have the struggle begin that
way. Certainly II we are to have more
universal" languages than ordinary
every day national languages it is time
for the common man to take energetic
measures in seIf-defense.
