AT THE FREIGHT

RAILROADS WOULD LIKE TO PUT

WASHINGTON Nov. 22.-Testimo-
ny instigated by George W. Perkins or
the ]. P. Morgan Co., the New York
syndicate that is said to finance and
control large portion Of the railroads
OF the country, analytic excoriation OF
crude manual and mechanical meth
DDS of railroads, and drifting discus
sion of scientific principles of bust
ness featured today's freight rate in
crease hearing. 1t was the second
day of the presentation of the ship
pers argument before the interstate
commerce commission on the suspen-
sion of proposed advances in the tariff
on great quantity of traffic moving
over the entire official classification
territory.
The railroads would like to put
put into operation advances in rates
or freight the country over, and in
line with this view, it was suggested
today that part of the policy was to
commit the shipping interests to tes-
timony that there would be no COM
plant if the advances were made uni
formly throughout the United States.
The trunk line presidents have claim
ed that the increases are vital to
their corporations.

The Real Issue.

Someone has said that it is not the

cost of high living. A Chicago profess

problem which is confronting the
country by aping the rich in an en-

the best of EN-. He says:
In the last twenty years the stand
ard of living has undergone an evolu-
ton. Thousands OF toilers now de-
mand the luXuries OF life and are
trying to keep up with the process
sion of the rich Where formerly they
were contented with seventyfive dol
lar bicycles they now want thousand
dollar automobiles; they want to
travel more and to stay at high-priced
hotels. This all has a tendency TO in
crease the average cost of living and
the standard will continue in its up
ward flight until there steps in a new
aristocracy-the aristocracy of the
simple life-when men pay less hon.
age to gold and give greater respect
to the virtues of honesty and right

If the humble man and woman

The Church ana Good Health.

The desirability of physical we'll
being has never received freer recog-
milton from the cloth" than in the
present countrywide movement of the
churches against tuberculosis. Among
the many sermons preached on re-
cent Sunday in aid of the war against
phthisis none stood out more strongly
than that of Bishop Fellows, who said
in part:
christianity today cannot be di-
vorced from anything that bears upon
the well being of mankind. There is
nothing pertaining to humanity that

is foreign to it. No millennium can
ever come until there are sound minds
in sound bodies. Christian ministers
must be in the forefront with en-
lightened physicians il the Christian
efforts to stamp out disease"

physical man must be prepared for
the reception of the spiritual mes
sages is in full consonance with mod

EDITED BY PRUDENCE PRUDE

| the laborers among the clover fields
are many times increased in num-
bers, the cattle, even, seem sleeker
and more fat and the cry of the poor
and the uneducated, the unemployed
and the unhappy is made feeble as
the ranks of the prosperous, and the
trained, the employed and the con-
tented swell and he knows that he
looks upon Arcadian fields of some
future millennium and that he will be
long dead before such visions become
actualities.
But, being good citienz and true
one, he does not sit upon the mountain
top and mourns the blindness of his
fellows or the folly of his neighbor
who drowses in his hammock and will
not climb the sleeps. Rather, he
girds up his loins and descends into
the valley and spreads his message
of hope from man to man and rolls
up his sleeves and gets into
the fray, doing the humble task and
the mental labor with a song in his
heart for he has been on the mountain
top and he has seen the land just over
the hills.
Blessed upon the mountains are
the feet of him who bringeth glad It'd

Helm Save the Babies.

This summer, wnen the thermom-
eter goes up to eighty, ninety and one
hundred the death rate among the hui
bies in your town will go up with the
mercury, unless you women and
mothers do somethig to prevent it,"
says Robert W. Bruere in Woman's
Home Companion for June. When
the hot weather comes, you will find
if you have eyes to see, as good
physician once put it, the babies will
die off like flies.
You belong to a Ladies Committee
in your church? Consult your pas
tor and see if you cannot get room
in the church or Sunday school IN
which to hold a mothers class at
least once a week from the first of
June to the middle of September. If
the church does not seem the fitting
place, use room in the public school,
Why should our splendid school
buildings be idle all summer when
there are mothers 20 teach and ba-
bies' lives to be saved? Any room
more than ten by ten feet with lots
of air and sunshine will do.
Then get your city health officer
OR your good family physician to
meet the mothers regularly at least
once a week. If you can afford it,
enjoy a trained nurse to help organ
ize the class and to follow the moth
ers in their homes with her practi-
ity. But if this is out of the ques-
ton, volunteer yonur own services.
Then invite the mothers in your
town to come to your class. If at
first they are shy, visit them in their
homes and explain to them what you
have to offer. And if they are still
unwilling to come, give them home in
struction, teach them how to ventilate
the room where the baby sleeps, teach
them under the guidance of your
physician how to dress the baby ap-
propriately, urge them to feed their
infants naturally and never to wean
them while the weather is very hot
And if they have bottle babies,
stimulate their interest in the purity
of the milk, lead them to an investi-
cation of the farms whence the milk
comes and teach them-always under
the guidance of your physician or in
cooperation with their physician
how to modify the milk for the ba-
bies' USE"

Respect Due the Police

Part of the trouble with most pol
ice departments is due to the DISPOSE
ito of the public to scott at the police
and their efforts. The policeman in
America is not respected as he should
be. A little of the English spirit tow
ard him would not be amiss here. In
London the policeman is one of the
most respected of men and he values
highly his reputation for honesty and
efficiency. We must not expect the
police to perform miracles and we
should meet them more than half
way in their efforts to provide us
with the protection we all demand -

normal souls, life would take on a
much sweeter aspect and men would
be less bored with themselves and
each other.
When a proud mother noted that
her vigorous young daughter was fast
reaching womanhood she remarked
to her dressmaker,
Now we will cut over that silk
dress for Mary" and forthwith the
women fell to discussion Of ways and
means but a quiet masculine voice
broke in with.
You need not bother about plans,
my dear, for Mary will not wear that
dress. If we put her into silks now,
nothing will be good enough for her
when she is woman grown"
Slightly different was the wisdom
of that remark from the folly of a
young mother whose husband earned
bare pittance which kept soul and
body together. I'VE plan to get

BOOST YOUR CITY.

Unquestionably,' says the Glou-
cester Times, There are weak points
will not keep his eyes on them all the
of every place. But the good citizen
will not keep his eyes on them all the
time or emphasize them, any more
than he would show a visitor the
slums as the best example of his
city's life. 1t also is beyond question
that the city has strong points, that
il has natural advantages. These are
the things to call attention to; these
are the things to keep in mind. A
city which is optimistic and believes
in itself will inspire confidence in
others. Let us silence, then, the
croaker And then let all who are
virile give the city boost"
Nor does this mean for the frac-
ton of second that we are to cast
our eye over the good things and
murmur, "Ah, well, this is all well
enough and ] need not exert myself
to further effort. That is not the
attitude of the good citizen and the
true. Rather it indicates a lack OF
good red corpuscles in the blood
However great the natural advantages
which are ours today, however man.
moth the possibilities of tomorrow
unless those advantages are employ
ed to the furtherance of those posi-
bilities, the flower of promise is
nipped in the bud and autumn brings
us dead leaves instead of a harvest
of golden grain.
Always in the good citizen must
be the desire for action. Always
must his heart and mind and hand
be employed in the upward climb
taking stock, always of the false and
untrue and the parasite growths
which threaten the health of his
township but full of boundless elo-
quence and enthusiasm over the at
tainments and the possibilities Of the
whole.
Again and again in his effort to
travel the path of progress, he will
come up against a stone wall of OPP
position whose ragged and rough
edges bruise his skin and cut his
hands but he must hurl himself at its
length time and again, confident that
with each new impact stone will
crumble into the dust Of his pathway
and the obstacle to the goal weaker
and tremble in the varying stages Of
dissolution.
With this confidence alone may he
hope to feast his eyes upon the fail
lands which are his ambition, Never
by croaking, by murmuring, by bick
ering can he rouse his slubbish neigh
bors to hurl their strength with hi
against the sullen walls of low-ambi
toned contentment.
Afar upon the mountain top, hi
home land looks very fair to him, III
fields richly fertile, its cattle sleel
and rounded, its pastures rolling lik
yard upon yard of soft green velvet
it's busy bees hunting happily mids
fields of red clover. But, in hi
minds eye he sees another cision o
his town, thrice industrious, tn
wheels of business turning with
happier song and it's chorus of work
ers swelled to many times its frs
dimensions. The fields are fairer an
