TWO PAT ILLUSTRATIONS.
In Which the True Source of Physical
Strength Was Well
Set Forth.

Speaking of toads, with incidental ref
erence to other salatory animal life, re-
calls mot attributed to one of the JUS
tees of the supreme court, which has
been giving the Washington gossips good
deal of amusement of late, says the New
York Evening post. He was dining the
other evening with the family of dis
tinguished ex-senator, who are noted for
their extravagant advocacy of the vege-
tartan diet Over the delicacies of the
table, which included pretty nearly every
form of edible plant life suited to the
season, conversation turned upon the ia
miliar theme; and the hostess, after try
ing in vain to convert her beef-reared
guest by arguments based on the chemical
constituents of various food, pleaded:
But surely, Mr.. Justice, you must ad-
init that vegetarianism means strength
and agility, when you remember that the
rabbit, which feeds wholly on vegetables,
can make such great leaps through the air
from hiding place to hiding place"
True, madam" answered the jurist,
gravely, but we must also remember that
the minute creature for which naturalists
claim the ability to jump more times its
own length than any other, belongs to
the class of pure carnivora."

DO NOT NEGLECT THING.
It's the Only Way in Which Thou
sands Of Acres of Land Can Be
Improved Permanently.

The wonderful effect resulting from
system of tile drainage, as seen on
many farms, should be an incentive to
increasing interest in this work. That
there should be little Improvement OF
this kind in new and unimproved
country, where land is comparatively
cheap, is not surprising. 1t is not,
however, so easy to understand why
people are so slow to make such i'm
provements in the older sections OF
the country where land is high.
That there is very large amount
of land in these older settled portions
of the country that would be greatly
improved by a good system OF thing
there can be no question. A farmer
living in western New York, writing
to the Rural New Yorker, says:
Even here in western New York, re-
ferred to by many as the garden OF
the state thousands of acres that are
not in proper condition are each year
plowed and planted to crops, nor can
they be expected to afford favorable
results unless nature in some I'M
usual manner renders assistance. The
well-known excuse or objection to this
system of work made by far too many
is the expense to be incurred not only
for the tile itself, but for the labor re-
quired additional to that OF the reg
ular farm labor"
But large part of such drainage
work does not require highly skilled
and expensive labor for its perform
ance The farmer and his regular help
can do it when they cannot work in
the fields.
In a place where the fall is so slight
and the work so difficult as to require
such help the improvement that will
result will many times pay for its
cost. On a great many farms there are
many days throughout the season when
little profitable work is done and when
the time could be spent at such work
as thing to very great advantage

AS TO RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.
Increase in Casualties Traceable to
Physical Deficiencies and
Too Long Hours.

Railroad accidents are increasing
every month. During the months of
July, August and September last there
were $50 persons killed and 1852 in
jured in train accidents. Other acct
dents not due to train collisions make
the total number of killed and injured
1917. This is an increase of 181
over the number of accidents in the
preceding quarter, i. e., April, May
and June last year. This quarter
showed, also, an increase of so over
the quarter Immediately preceding.
The constant increase in the number
of fatalities and accidents on our rail-
Home, certainly requires investiga-
ton. In spite of all the precautions
and scientific additions for the safety
of men. the destruction of men contin-
ues to increase every year.
Traced to the bottom it will be
found, we doubt not, that this increase
in casualties is due to the physical
condition of the men employed. We
do not think that any moral delin-
quency explains it. We believe it to
be partly due to the long hours OF
work, and partly due to original phys.
ical deficiencies. A railroad man
ought to be a man who has regular
hours of sleep. man of good hab.
it's, a man whose physical condition
