NO BEAUTY IN THE SIMPLE LIFE

cure the complex needs for our complex or
CARNATIONS.
The simple life brotherhood argue for raw
foods" They are a step backward toward

besides eat, and time was not desideratum.

True they make muscle. But modern man needs brain
rather than Drawn, and endurance more than brute
strength
The cry is for the simple life and the simple life is
interpreted in terms food, wood chopping and
log cabins because have not yet perfected our en-
yironment, have not adapted it perfectly to our
needs. We have not made it simple to get what we
require. Civilization is only beginning. After time
1t will be just easy for to get beautiful homes
and our music art, finished Quotations and other lux
ures Of high culture it is for a savage to oll

The meeting has been in progress
here since June IS, and many sub
jects, ranging from needlework to
woman's suffrage have been thor
oughly discussed. Perhaps the most
important phase of the congress has
been the importance attached to the
work of the public health section, es-
pecially in relation to its warfare
agaist tuberculosis. The Countess
of Aberdeen is the leading worker
in this department, and her address,
es, in which she dealt with the anti

OF matches with the French ambas-

the agricultural department on the
Enclosed ground back of the execu-
tive office. The net has gone, the
chalk lines have been wiped out. and
an addition to the Presidents Offices
is to take place of this international
playground.
Instead of the carriages OF the
Roosevelt administration and the
scrambles over the rough ground Of
Rock Creek, there are whizzing auto
mobiles and plodding games OF sue
cessful golf at Chevy Chase, five miles
from the White House. One would
have supposed that President Roose-
welt would have taken to the breezy
and rapid automobile, but he never
lost his love for horseflesh. Now
President Taft consorts with golf
champions, and he plays the game
with the heir apparent to the Ameri-
can throne as his partner, but al
ways in the company OF Gen. C!sr-
ence Edwards, Captain Archie Butt.
and other intimates of his war de-
partment days.
In all these things and q great
many more President Taft has at
least demonstrated his entire WILL
ingness to review and remodel the
minor and personal policies of his
predecessor. This does not mean any
radical difference of opinion between
the two men on essentials, n al
though the Taft administration will
be slower and quieter and more tenn
perate it will be headed always In
much the same direction and along
the path blazed out by that comet
airy notable, Theodore Roosevelt.
