A big storm at sea sometimes does
unexpected stunts" A ship which
went ashore On Brant Point, Mass,
during the Christmas gale was car
ried so high and dry that no hope
was entertained of getting her back
to the water. But the latest tempest
that swept the stern New England
coast generated high tide which car.
ried the vessel to her former element,
and to everybody's surprise she was
found substantially uninjured. That
appears to have been one Of old Nep,

Cost of Living.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Sir--It has been said that a French
family lives on what an American FAM
lily wastes. Whatever truth or error
there may be in the statement. there Is
undeniably much waste In many fami-
lies in this country. For this some rea-
sons may be given. and to correct. it,
various remedial measures may be sug-
gested.
Boycott Is a word of objectionable
flavor, and much a be secured without
a resort to what this word implies.
Many of those who resort to this course
seem to suppose that in abstaining from
the use OF meat diet they are sacrificing
. a present for a future good; they think
they need animal food to keep up their
! proper strength.
Scientific investigation as well as the
experience of many hard working men
proves beyond all doubt that a purely
vegetable diet will maintain perfect
| health, with sufficient strength for all
| kinds of mental or bodily work. And
very many who have changed from q
| mixed to a vegetable diet are ready te
testify that gustatory pleasure has moi
been diminished. Indeed, it may bt
| truly affirmed that mans natural appe'
tite is for plain vegetable food; and thai
it is only after long practise that on

n n an examination of school children in New York by physicians
it was found that out of 323,33i children only a quarter of
- them were free from some physical defect. Onesixth of the
children had trachoma, a disease of the eyes, but simple OF cure.
More than onehalf had defective teeth. The immense tenement
house population of New York largely explains these conditions,
but there is no doubt that they are duplicated to a considerable
extent in other cities, Newark included. The showing demon
strates the great necessity for systematic medical oversight of the
children of the public schools, as well as dental care. The preser-
vation of the teeth in the young is an al[important matter, for the
teeth have much to do with the health of the human body. A
vast humber of parents, either through ignorance or neglect, pay
no attention to their chidren's teeth. The child is not taught to
care for the teeth, with the result of early decay. 1t has been
argued that it is not the province of the state to provide in it's
school system for the physical ailments of the pupils, but that is
Il shallow view to take. 1t is the duty of the state to itself to
safeguard it's youth, to see that it's children grow up to be mentally
and physically capable of taking up the struggle of life. 1t is for
the state an economic question, for health and vigor in the citizen
is an enrichment for the state, while the defective in mind or body
is apt to become a burden upon the state, and cannot at any time
be of much economic value.

APP4yIvG FARMER AGAINST CONSUMER.

n 4 is n clever ruse by the agents and commissioners of the meat
trust to represent to the farmers of the country that the up
Il rising of the people in the centres of population against rob
Der prices is a boycott of the farmer. This brazen trick Is being
played throughout the agricultural regions OF the West, and a
member of the Senate at Washington had the audacity in debate
last week to try to make it appear that the peoples abstenton
from meat was directed against the farmer and to threaten a
counterboycott by farmers against the products of manufacturers
in the cities. If the meat trust can prevail upon the farmers of
the United States to believe that the movement against trust ex-
tortion is aimed at them, the desired effect will be to array the
farmer against the populations of the cities, and the trust might
succeed in the trick, with the help of government officials and its
spokesmen in Congress. Western farmers, as a rule, do not know
the prices that prevail in the cities. They do know the prices they
get from the trust for their live stock. A comparison OF the two
h.ices ought to enlighten them as to the justice of the resentment by
saeat consumers. And if they were in contact with city people
they would know that the antimeat crusade is directed only against
the men who take cattle from stock growers at the lowest possible
prices, fixed by the trust, and sell the meat to the consumer at the
highest possible prices. also fixed by the trust.
