The book for 1910 embraces the
usual far-seeing helps for the Sunday
school workers. Both editor and as
sociate editor have made it what can
not be claimed for other comments

OVerWeiuhtS.,


The excessive mortality of over
weights has been published by life in
surance statisticians, and the phenom-
enon must be considered in football
discussions. 1t is now proved fact
that the men who are barred from the
game are the ones who live the long
est, and though mere length of life is
no criterion of it's usefulness, yet it
is fair assumption that the longest
lived are the most vigorous and there
fore the best brain workers.
The colleges are then spending the
most money on the students who will
give the least returns. Every now and
then some ingenious fellow publishes
statistics showing that students able
to take part in sports outlive those
too defective to take any part at all,
as though that needed numerical
proof.
The new statistics show that the
healthy underweights excluded from
football are filter for survival in
America than the overweights of the
teams. Medicine.

An Open Letter.

Mr. Editor: While in reminiscent
mood, recently, was reminded that
THE APPEAL was started in the year
1855 and therefore will pass the 25th
milestone of its existence this year.
What number of interesting
events have taken place during these
twenty-five years, what wonderful ad-
| vancements have been made by the
Afro-American citizens of the n,wir
Cities in all lines Of life!
And as was on., of its early pro-
moters and know much Cf its his.
tory, /! believe il is no small thing
for a newspaper 10 live for qnarter
of a century unCe1 the circumsta ices
which have el:rt unded TIE Ap-
PEAL, and it saerls to M, that SOME
sort cf celebrate of the >e:ent
would he eminer:!y fit ard proper.
and, also believe that Tie citizens
Of the Twin Cities whom YOU have
served so faithfully and we'll would
gladly Join in making the event one
long TO be remembered.
Ny idea is that a souvenir edition
of THE APPEAL be published con-
tanning 4 chronological history of the
events that have transpired during
it's existence, cuts and sketches of
prominent men and women, cuts of
the beautiful homes that so many
have become the happy possessors of,
and numerous other matters of inter
est that would make such an edition
q most valuable one for us all. Then
as grand finale a public testimonial
celebration in some large hall on the
anniversary day of TIE APPEALS
bith or such other day that in your
Judgment is more suitable, in which
all may take part i'll making the
event one of the largest ever held
here.
would suggest, if the idea meets
your approval, that you select a num-
Der of persons to act as committee
to carry out such plans as have ad-
varced or as you may deem most ad-
visable.
Very truly yours.

A New Enolish Word

Mr.. Churchill added new word to
the English language in one of his
speeches at Edinburg recently. I'VE
had period of bad trade last year,
and the shortfall in our revenue was
only a million and half. In Ger
many there was shortfall Of eight
millions, and in the United States the
shortfall was not less than nineteen
millions. "Shortfall" is not recog-
nlzed by any existing dictionary, but
the New England Dictionary has
only got SO far as sauce" SO there
may yet be time to find room for it
there. 1t is much more expressive
word than deficit because of the
elements of the compound are native:
the makeup OF the word is understood
and felt by everybody, as well as its
secondary meaning Dundee Adyer-
tiser.

ADAM BEDE HAS NEW IDEA
Insists That Society for the Suppress
- sion of Cruelty to Soil
~ Is Needed. ...

A Society for the Suppression of
Cruelty to Soil is advocated by ].
Adam Bede, former congressman from
reputation, the st. Paul Dispatch says.
Not only does he believe in such
society, but he says he expects to live
long enough to see one organized un-
der government supervision.
Stuff! This thing of increased cost
of living" Mr.. Bede said. ut
doesn't cost more unless you make
it. If we'd live like our grand
mothers did it wouldn't cost any
more. The trouble is. we're living too
fast and too luxuriously. l worked
my way through school. I'm paying
the way of my children Grandma did
her own housework We're hiring ours
done. It's just that kind of thing
which causes us to spend money And
luxuries! Why, the farmers are get
ting SO wealthy they want to ride in
automobiles. Cows upstate are get
ting so they won't give down their
milk unless you turn on the electric
lights and have Caruso to sing. It's
the rust, not the trusts, which is
hurting us. Travelling down through
Kansas short time ago, saw all
kinds of farm machinery, wagons, bug
gies and implements. standing out in
the weather rusting We're too lazy
to take care Of the things we have.
We're not making the ground produce
as it should. We're neglecting it. We
have not learned to rotate the crops.
We plant wheat and more wheat until
we have 'wheated' the ground to
death. That's why want to see So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Soil"
