 The same journal which gives a highly sensational account of the ter rife reduction in the birth rate will in another column describe the awful famines in far-away lands involving millions of people.
 The Russian peasants have huge families, in which the infantile death rate is tremendous. because they live under very unsanitary conditions which none except the most vigorous children can survive. All the weak lings are killed off, and the survivors are those remarkable men who, when drafted into the army, are able to ac- complish such marvels of endurance. On the other hand, the English baby, no matter how frail, is saved; no mat ter how sick. it is cured and grows up. The nation is known to be far less TO- bust, as far as muscle and brute force is concerned, than it was a couple of centuries ago. It is difficult to get soldiers strong enough to carry the gun and ammunition. while in Rus sia nearly all are able soldiers.

Remember that Allcock's are the original and only genuine porous plasters-the best ex- ternal remedy known-and when pur- chasing plasters the only safe way is to always insist upon having Allcock's.

Roland Hartman, the 1o-year-o1d
son of E. H. Hartman, returned to-
day to school at Lakewood, N. J.,
leaving his father alone and unpro-
tected in Washington.
So long as Roland was with him,
Mr. Hartman was safe in Washing
tom He was able to go where he
would, and blame it all on Roland.
He could go to the capitol to see the
pictures of Pocahontas and the statue
Of Fulton with a model steamboat in
his hand. He could go to the White
House to look at the animals heads
on the walls. He could go to the Of
fees of the Interstate Commerce COM
mission in order to have the rare ex-
perience of riding in the curious ele-
vator.
Roland went to all these places, and
to many others, leading his favorite
father all the while by the hand. But
now Roland has gone. His father must
either confine himself to his apart
ments in the Willard or gather about
him a pompous company of liveried
attendants, and go to the Congress
sional library and the Washington
monument by day and to the theater
by night and be dignif1ed.-Washing

OUGHT TO BE GERM PROOF.
Buildings Today Are Constructed Upon
Correct Sanitary Ideas.

Hundreds of thousands of men IN
this country divide their life into two
parasitic time they spend at home
and the time they spend in their Of
fices Perhaps an hour or. sosof eacn
day is spent in dirty, stuffy street
car or crowded train. Bmlnent ooc+
tors say people should spend at least
three hours each day in the fresh air
but the average man is vastly too busy
to do that. Therefore, it is essential
that buildings should be kept IN
clean and sanitary condition. That
thew are not is more often due; to ig-
norance than anything else.
Dust. dirt and disease constitute the
bane of towns and cities. Dust is real>
Iv one of the greatest enemies of the
human race. The streets are full of
it. 1t is carried, by the Winds, blown
through open windows, inhaled in the
street cars, and thousands OF offlce
buildings and public institutions or all
kinds accumulate their full quota of it.
1T is unnecessary to explain that dust
is often laden with disease germs. Es-
pccially is this true of towns and cities
And this makes it imperative that

ness consists of attention to details.
After consideration 1t is easy to I'M

dust in which the city abounds. He is
not forced to stay in unsanitary build

He breathes pure air.
OF course, there is really no solid
reason why office buildings, schools,
