If the dream of international peace
is ever approached-it seems too much
in the course of human nature to ex-
ipect that it will ever be thoroughly
realiZed-one factor in reducing the
helligerency of the world to a mini
mum will be the cost of war. From
humane and moral standpoint there
is little to be said of war as an anomaly
of modern civilization which has not
been said.
The cost of war is frightful item in
the expense account of nations, nor is
this expense in the present cost alone;
there remain the war taxes to plague
the people and hamper efforts to repair
the ravages of war, and the destruct-
ion of industries depending on peace
for their pursuit and prosperity.
Russia and Japan are now borrowing
from Europe and America the money
necessary on the disastrous war they
are waging. Russia wants two hun
dred millions of dollars, while japan
is satisfied for the present with the
greatly inferior sum of fifty millions.
Russia will seek this loan in Ger
many and France, whose Russian
interests will make them the more
ready to lend to protect those interests.
japan has gone to England and Amer
lea for financial help. AS far as mon
ey comprises the sinews of war, Russia
is better equipped than her enemy,
and if money is the chief factor in the
fight, as it is in almost every other
human concern, Russi holds the win
ming card. -,

she is practically an unknown guam

ties against the vastness of her enemy s
resources in money and numbers.
Whatever the outcome, the present
signs point to a long war, and the
cost to each is going to be something
enormous. Even with great resource:
these can be seriously crippled by {
constant drain. With almost a fee
of costly warships sunk in a single
battle, hundreds of men slaughtered
in single contest, the price of feed
ing large bodies of soldiers and any
number of starving peasantry indef
nitsly, the cost of fortifying places, o.
building roads and of repairing the
damages caused by the destruction O.
roads, of machinery, of artillery, O
the various expensive equipment O.
modern warfare, the cost of big wal
easily grows into figures almost appal
ling to contemplate.
And when it is taken into accoun
that nearly all the work to be thus
enormously paid for is a work of des
trUction, not of building; of ruin, no
of creation; then the cost of war be
comes, aside from its moral view, al
economic problem of the vastest pro
portions, practically arresting the pro
gress of the Statesman.

THE HUNTS
HAPPY DAY
A NEW YEAR STORY
By Ernesf Gilmore

1t was a New Years day. There
had been big storm and although the
wind had spent its force the snow fell
steadily.
Regular winter weather and no mis-
take about it," observed Mr.. Richard
Hunt, as he came in rather poisily,
stamping the snow from his boots, "but
I like it. So cold and bracing."
Mrs Hunt, who was sitting near an
open fire, laughed.
81 like the house best such day as
this" she said, shivering little. 81
don't believe I'd be willing to face the
cold, even for the sake Of the bracing. Z"
81 think heard you say you were go
ing to see old Mrs. Heller to-day" Mr..
Hunt remarked, as he seated himself
comfortably. Have you changed your
mind?"
Eyes, I've changed my mind. I did
tell you that / was going to see her,
but I'll have to wait until some other
day. Poor old Mrs. Helfer!"
'Ts she sick?"

"And suppose she's very lonely since
her daughter died?" e.

"But not quite sorry enough for yor
to go and see her as you intended to dc
to-day?" teasingly.
Some other day will do as well-wil
1t not?" she questioned, wondering a
his persistence.
mot If she needs you to-day. Come

THE CAUSE OF COLDS.
Surprise to Those who Are
- Not Posted.

The invariable cause of colds comes
from within, not without No one
takes cold when in a vigorous state of
health, with pure blood coursing
through the body, and there is no good
reason why anyone in ordinary health
should have cold. 1t may come from
insufficient exercise, breathing of foul
air, want of wholesome food, excess of
:ood, lack of bathing, ETC., but always
from some violation of the plain laws
Of health, says Science of Health.
There can be no more prolific cause
Of colds than highly seasoned foods,
as well as frequent eating. These give
co time for the digestive organs to
rest, and incite an increased flow of
the digestive secretions. Thus larger
quantities OF nourishment are absorbed
than can be properly utilized, and the
result is an obstruction, commonly
called cold" which is simply an
effort of the system to expel the USE
less material. Properly speaking it is
self-poisoning, due to an incapability
Of the organism to regulate and COM
pensate for the disturbance.
A deficient supply of pure air to the
lungs is not only strong predisposing
cause of colds. but prolific source of
much graver conditions. Pure air and
exercise are necessary to prepare the
system for the assimilation of nutri-
| ment, for without them there can be
| no vigorous health. The oxygen Of the
air we breathe regulates the appetite
| as we'll as the nutriment that Is built
| up in the system. The safest and best
| way to avoid colds Is to sleep in room
with the windows wide open, and to re-
main out of doors every day, no matter
| what may be the weather. for at least
two hours, preferably with some kind
of exercise, If no more than walking
One should not sit down to rest while
| the feet are wet or the clothing damp.
A person may go with the clothing wet
through to the skin all day, If he but
keeps moving. Exercise keeps up the
circulation and prevents taking cold.
The physiologic care of colds Is the
prevention of their occurrence. The
person who does not carry around an
oversupply of alimentation in his sys-
| tenn, and furthermore secures purified
circulation by strict, sanitary cleanl1-
ness, thus placing himself in positive
condition, is immune to colds. A starv-
ing man cannot take cold.
| A careful diet would exclude the use
of all narcotics and all food that is not
thoroughly appropriated. An overfed
person Is worse off than one who is
underfed, because the overfed body is
1 vI14 ut In
appropriated, and when not properly
disposed of, remains only to be an ele-
raent of danger. -.s-.

Fig Pointers.

Cutting figs with scissors, instead Of
chopping them in tray in the old
fashioned way, is much easier. The
sticky, tough nature of the figs makes
chopping them a long and hard job.
They can easily and quickly be cut
into the tiniest pieces with pair Of
scissors and a great saving made in
time and strength. The white of an
egg beaten to a stiff froth and mixed
with the figs after they have been
boiled into a thick, smooth paste, with
the addition of little sugar, makes
a tasty and delicious filling for layer
