Such stringent rules and regula-
lions have been put in force by the
Chicago authorities against the sale of
intoxicants in resorts of i'll repute and
all places where women have been in
the habit of congregating, that it is
estimated that 5000 men and women
of the underworld will leave that town.
This will be fine for Chicago, but IT
won't be much Of desirable gain for
the places where these refugees will

] blessed are lQo D6acemak6ISs IOI they
shall be called the children Of God st.
Matthew g.
These words were among the in
structions that Jesus Of Nazareth gave
to his disciples. He was the greatest
teacher that the history of all time
records. Scarcely did Christ utter a
sentence that was not fraught with an
idea or two that has helped to shape
the way to the civilization which now
prevails upon the earth. Had Christ
not lived and left his messages among
men, the world. and its peoples, would
rot have progressed much during the
past two thousand years. None of his
many sayings show to men a more de-
sirable manner in which it is proper
for them to labor than that conveyed
by the above text.
Some people associate peace and
peacemakers only with the settlement
of a war between nations or states,
conflict of arms. That Is a petty con-
struction to be placed on such glorious
and comprehensive terms. There are
many struggles going on in the world
in the course of the every day life of
all peoples where there is a great, a
crying necessity for the appearance Of
peacemakers. But there is always
hesitancy and holding back among
those who are qualified and have a
mind to undertake these tasks. Moth
ing could be more natural. When a
family has a quarrel; when one fac
ton of a community is on the outs
with its neighbor: when classes have
developed among the same. race and
that terrible thing. class hatred, has
become engendered. both sides to all
such various controversies usually look
with askaDce on any one who shows an
inclination to act the part of the medi-
ator He is generally howled down be-
fore he has been given q chance to be
heard.
That should not prevent him, how
ever. from plunging on with the work
if his Intentions are honest and If he
thinks he has ideas which will bring
about the desired ends. Many man
and wife have been saved from the d.
vorce court by a proper endeavor OF
friends who have succeeded in showing
them their folly. Many riot and much
bloodshed have been averted by the
quick and commanding counsel of brave
men. In all probability, there have been
as many failures as successes IN Ell
forts of these sorts. The good accom-
plished, though, by one success of this
kind outshinas and obliterates all the
failures. And because such successes
are always possible they are ever worth
the striving for.
There is no gospel better worth the
preaching than the gospel of peace
Every one who is so disposed can play
his part, when the opportunities pre-
sent themselves, in spreading it around
the world in every field where humans
live and labor and even play.

It is remembered that when the new
fire. insurance law for this state first
went into effect the insurance COM
panies came out with glowing state
ments that it was the best law of the
kind that had ever been put on the
statute book of any state. In view of
the new reduction in rates for insur-
ance on residence property in towns
and cities which has been ordered by
Mr.. Barnes, the state superintendent
of insurance, it is pardonable to sup
pose that the fire insurance companies
will soon change their minds on the
good qualities Of this new law.

The requisite number of men were
named by President Taft to serve as
judges of the court of appeals under
the impression that each of them was
to receive a salary of $4,000 year.
Congress decided that a $1,000 salary
would be quite enough for this service,
so Mr.. Taft has withdrawn his ap-
pointments until he can ascertain if
the men he has named are willing to

"Do away with margins and we will

an expert in opposing the legislation
before congress which contemplates

of life were meager and their cost was

EROA OTHER PENS
GREAT WARS ON PAPER.

In Germany the old men dream
dreams and the young men see visions.
OF late years their dreams have been
largely concerned with war. They
have written prophetic books to por-
tray the future glory of the Teutonic
nation and The consequent discom-
future of other nations. They have de-
picted the conquest of the United
States by Japan, and also by the allied
South American powers, and their
books have enjoyed large sales.
One of these publications, entitled
after the Stcrm," contains reflections
on the downfall of the British empire
in 1910, and is accompanie 1 by maps
showing present political divisions of
the earth, followed by maps of the
world as it will appear in 1911. By
that time, says the author, England
will have lost all her colonial possess
sions. Canada will belong to theUnited
States. Ireland will be a republic.
Russia will take India, and China and
Japan together will possess Australia
Germany, Austria and italy will have
nearly the whole of Africa. England
and France will be shorn of their pow
ers.-Boston Globe.

icelli toast, coffee''-that's all. Here
is another: BARLEY with bananas, but

is a little more pretentious than the
first, since it introduces that fish bust

wherein the fish flesh is evolved. with

But this very item shows the ten
dency toward light breakfast. A little
fruit, toast or cereal. cup of coffee
that is the typical breakfast. Every
thing else is disappearing. Even the
reliable old egg. under the discourag--
ing high prices. is being relegated as
a superhuity. And as to the break
fast bacon, that is passe in the dietary
of the future. VIII that nneager menu

REoRGANIz1NG THE NAVY.

The retirement OF Admiral Fisher in
England for age has filed the English
papers with reviews of the great work
done by him. He has nearly doubled
the effective force Of the British navy
by his policy; he has redistributed its
stations so as to make it far more pow
erfuI in war, and he originated the
tsDreadnought" policy of big ships.
This was only possible because the or
ganization of the English navy gives a
small council, to which the ablest adj
mirals are called, presided over by
what we should call the secretary of
the navy, the First Lord of Admit
ralty,' great executive powers The
best ability of the fighting line of the
English navy can, under this system,
be brought directly to bear on the prob
lem of securing efficiency and fighting
force. Secretary Meyer, in the plan for
reorganizing our navy he is urging on
congress, is proposing to secure the
same result. His plan follows the same

How to Water Window Plants

This question, which comes to
my desk many times, is one which
even a florist cannot answer ex-
actly. Some plants require more
water than others, and In rooms
which are kept warmer than 9TH
ers more water is required on all
plants. Just when and just how
plants must be watered can only
be learned by individual expert
ence. The knowledge comes nat
urally by witnessing the growth of
the plant.
Success depends largely upon
good rich soil and careful water
ing, always remembering It is
better to water too little than too
much.
Plants injured by being in over
heated rooms may be restored by
placing in closed room where
there Is a steaming kettle. Ten
drops of carbolic acid in a pint OF
water poured over the plants will
kill insects. Be cautious with the
acid.
There is great deal of CON-
mon sense in this little old poem.
