a Good New Rook.

One of the latest novels OF 1911 is
THE Golden Silence Just issued
by the firm of Doubleday, Page &
Company, by c. n. and A. N. vii
hanson. authors of "The Motor
Maid" THE Car of Destiny and
other successful novels.
The tale Is OF a little American
dancers quest for her lost sister in
the desert East. The hero OF the
story is Stephen Knight, who, short
ly following his engagement to Mar
got Lorenzi, granddaughter OF an
Italian prima donna, journeys to AL
giers for rest and visit to an old
school friend, Nevill Card. on the
way he meets charming American
dancer, about eighteen or nineteen
years OF age, who has gone on the
stage to obtain money with which to
make quest for her sister, who
has mysteriously disappeared in Al
giers. Their friendship grows, and
Knight accompanys her to Algiers in
the role of a protector, whore she
suddenly departs. leaving only a
mysterious note which gives no
trace of her destination. From this
point the story grows intensely in
teresting.
Not the least remarkable feature
of the work is the setting, the at
moophere of the East and its desert
folk which nervades it throughout
The authors, it is stated, are well
versed in the history, geography,
and customs of the East, which
makes 1t all the more worth per-
using, aside from the charm of the
story itself
The reader IS prepared for the at
mosphere of he story by the richly
colored wrapper, which pictures the
Golden Silence" OF. the desert. The
picture. is of two travellers on the
road across the golden sand dunes
of 8 vast area of desert.
The Golden Silence" is interest
ing and is different from the usual
run of modern fiction. Readers of
modern fiction who pride them
selves on reading only the best
novels will want to get The Golden
Silence.

Easter and the Nation.

with the resurrection period OF
tile year at hand, whom new life is
taking the place OF tie dead things
ot the earth, such as the grass, the
flowers and the cheerfulness OF
spring, the Easter season commem-
Grating the greatest resurrection OF
Jail, that of the Saviour, when the
stone was rolled away aad He
thought dead came forth not as hui
man longer but as spiritual, is
ushered in. There is gladness and
there is peace.
AS all know the significance
of Easter and its origin, the Tele-
gram leaves it to the ministers to
impress that knowledge religlously
and essays only to take up a materl-
al phase or two. Several nations
observe Easter but its meaning is
not more greatly illustrated and
demonstrated than by our own ma
ton.
The last few years peoples have
been resurrected through the good
Offices OF the United States, the
great spreader of worldwide peace,
and today our country is ready to
intervene in troublous Mexico.
Perhaps, before another moon inter
ventton will have been engaged in
successfully.
Our country stands out more pre-
eminently than any other for in
ternational peace, amity and world
wide fraternity and much has been
achieved along this line not only by
the government but also by individ-
uals and associate bodies. The
world has felt the strong but gen.
tie hand OF Uncle Sam in the world
wide peace propaganda, though it
has been necessary to resort to
arms in our intercessions for the
material welfare OF foreign peoples.
Uncle Sam has rescued, saved, and
he VIII continue to extend The pro-
tecting hand, the aiding arm to the
victims of oppression and mis-gov-
eminent.
The Philippines have been resur,
rected, Cuba has come forth new
nation. Russia and Japan were per-
suaded to lay down arms and dwell

A Splendid Concert.

The DEBORAH Merchants Band
made a hit with its opening concert
for the summer season at the Rock
Island park on Monday evening.

forms, with a number OF additions
to the Instrumentation, and under
TIE efficient dictatorship of Mr.. j. o.
Groves, rendered a program egpe-
cially selected for Memorial Day,
which delighted the large crowd
which heard it. Ii is now the best
band DeccIah has had in many
years, and the city ought to be proud
Of it and support it literally. Among
the numbers on the program was a
composition by W. b. Coup of this
city, which delighted everyone who
heard it, 1t is a beautiful selection,
and worthy of a place on any pro-
gram. Mr.. Groves is entitled to much
credit for his work with the band,
end all the boys are entitled to
praise for the efficiency they have
developed through arduous practice.

OUR WELL BALANCED RATION.
America Has the Finest Food Supply
i'm the World.

That America has the finest food
supply of any country in the world,
and that the plentiful and we'll bal
anced ration is responsible for much
of the success of the United States
as nation, is the conclusion drawn
by c. F. Langsworthy, chief of the
nutrition investigations, in a pam
phlet issued by the Department OF
Agriculture.
Mr.. Langsworthy goes into the
food supply of prehistoric man and
of nations of which we know but
little except through popular writ
ings, and states that many CT the
impressions which these writer's give
are erroneous. He says, for in
stance, that the idea that the Chinese
and japanese are nations of rice
eaters is false. 1t is true that both
these people eat large quantities Of
rice, compared with western ma
tons, but that it is merely their
chief starchy food, and that it would
be just as accurate to refer to the
United States as a nation of wheat
eaters or to say that beans and
brown bread were the exclusive diet
in New England. He says it is sur
prising to see what a we'll balanced
ration is common among all nations,
though some take their food in one
form and some in another.

Washing and Microbes.

Sir Almroth Wright in a recent
London lecture said: There is a
belief that by washing people wash
off the microbes. We do take off
certain amount of microbes, but
we also destroy the protective skin
which is all round our bodies like
the tiles of house. When one has
a horny hand no microbe can ever
get near the skin. A great deal OF
washing increases the microbes OF
the skin, so / do not think cleanli-
ness is to be recommended as a n.y.
gienic method" And this from the

And makes me creep and SILVER,

instruction VS.. Education.

Our great stake in education is,
as it seems to me, the worship of
book learning-the confusion of in
structicn and education. We strain
the memory instead of cultivating
the mind The children in our ele-
mentary schools are wearied by the
mechanical act of writing and the
interminable intricacies of spelling;
they are oppressed by columns of
dates, by lists of kings and places,
which convey no definite idea to
their minds, and have no near rela-
ton to their daily wants and oc-
cupations-Sir John Lubbock.
