then begin to look after yoLI
strength. You will see to it that
you get enough sleep, good food
and food that keeps you up.
You will be frightened when after
doing thing you do not come up
again. The very foundation OF
your career is slipping. Vitality
does not necessarily mean noisy,
gross, muscular ability. 1t means
power to do the days work. Some
work is pounding boiler rivets, some
marching in regiment, some look

or driving a pen. In either case ii

heart and soul, the original crea-

places where life is bought and sold

WORSE THINGS THAN WAR
The Only Nations that Enjoy Honera
bic Peace are Those Able and
Willing to Fight

The following sensible article from
the Tampa Times contains the only
conclusion on the subjects of peace
and war that can be drawn from a
careful study Of history:
The sage of the Ocala Banner Wig
orously undertakes TO defend yindi-
cate and hold up 10 a reverent hu-
mainly the memory Of the Emperor
Chin, the ruler of the celestial empire
who caused the erection of the great
Chinese wall-the aforesaid memory
having for ages been held up To exc
Grafton Editor Harris points out that
the wall put stop to the incursions
Of the barbarous and cruel Tartars
upon the inoffensive, quiet and peace
full Chinese people. that il secured TO
them peace and prosperity. and there
fore Chin should be honored. 1t is
with a good deal of hesitancy we VEN
in the state of Florida. but there are
some things that ought TO be said.
Editor Harris remarks in the course
of his discussion:
is not peace better than war? Not
withstanding the cost in money and in
labor of this gigantic enterprise. was
il not better. viewed from the stand
point of economy, than the devasta-
ton OF war? From moral stand
point. is there any question of its SUI
periOrityH"
Well. it SO happened that in this
particular case peace was not better
than war. The Emperor Chin would
have done better for his people had he
trained and taught them to fight and
| beat their enemies instead of fencing
them out. The result was he spent
millions of days labor in erecting a
defense and more millions of days OF
watching and guarding and repelline
inva sion. only to find-or his success
sors to find-that his people grew con-
stantiy weaker and less able to resist
until a last they fell d prey to a peo-

and plundered China for hundreds OF
years although they are in number the
