Terror Without Reason

Fear of burial alive persists, in spite
Of the certainty that it is the very
least of the innumerable dangers to
which humanity Is exposed. The thing
has happened, no doubt, but only in
conditions like those of war or great
epidemics, when the disposal of the
dead is hasty and careless In other
circumstances it is practically impos-
sible, and what are described occa.
sionally as instances of it can be dis
missed as based on nothing more than
an accidental disturbance of the con.
fined dead, brought about during or
just before conmittal to the earth.
Every trustworthy authority is agreed
on this point, and yet people in con-
siderable numbers go on worrying
over the possibility of premature bur.
ial.

much money as the Y. NJ G. A. Mil
lions have been raised for new build
ings all over the land, and with no ap-

and through the railroad, army and
navy branches-and it's fine policy in
following the armies in all recent
wars. have created for it worldwide
enthusiasm. At the last banquet Of
the international committee, Senator
Root affirmed that they had made
their way by working with men more
than by talking to them. saying:
