MAKING PEOPLE INSURE IN
ENGLAND

With the old age pensions and the
national insurance law Great Britain,
under the leadership of Lloyd-George,
has made a startling advance in state
socialism. The insurance law re-
quires that a man shall pay 8 cents,
the employer cents and the state
cents. In return the insured receives
free medical attendance by doctor OF
his own selection, and free medicines;
sick pay at the rate of $3.50 week the
first three months, $1.25 for the next
three months and for life in case of
permanent invalidism 1t is estimated
that $4,000 900 men and 100000 wo-
men come within the compulsory class
annual fund of $11S, 100000 the state
will contribute over $27,0O0,00O.
In certain highly skilled trades like
that of ship-building beginning is
also made in insurance against unem-
ployment, except in case of strikes, on
further payments by the three parties,
and the law in addition provides for
the establishment of national sanator-
iums for the treatment of tuberculosis.
Such striking innovations were not
instituted without encountering SER
ious political opposition, and strange
as it may seem the bill was opposed
by the Socialist party both in and out
! o parliament. The Socialists ground
of objection was that they did not fav-
or any plan of which the beneficiaries
are also contributors, The Tories took
the same view and appealed to the
voters to defeat the bill on the ground
that it taxed their wages, but the
measure became the law. Evidently it
is a great undertaking to insure the
health of a nation, and the working of
the experiment will doubtless be an
! interesting study in sociology

DIET AND HEALTH
HINTS
BY DR.. T. ]. ALLEN
Food Specialist
CHEESE VS.. MEAT.

Or. C. F. Lanqworthy Of the
department of agriculture, has
determined by experiment that
cheese is superior to meat, in
the proportion of "a to 81, repre-
senting the heat and energy pro-
ducing power of the two foods
in Galleries. He concludes that
cheese Is as dieestibIe as meat.
OF course there are several
kinds of meat and several kinds
of cheese, and this experiment
takes no account of the differ
ence in the two foods after they
have passed the stomach. Both
serve principally as flesh form
ers. Neither is necessary in an
Ideal diet, but If either Is used,
cheese should be preferred, on
account Of lts freedom from uric
acid producing elements and on
account of the far greater ten
dency of meat of any kind to in
furious fermentation in the In
tsstlnes tending, especially In
combination with fire fresh
white bread, to develop the con-
dition favorable to appendicitis
and to maintain auto-intoxica.
tion. II a high proteid food must
be used, cheese is to be pre-.
ferred to meat, and the best
cheese Is that known as cottage
cheese, which can be made at
home from skim milk.

PREPARING FOR THE PEACE GEL

The project of celebrating in 1914
the completion of one hundred years
of peace between the United States
and Great Britain is proceeding with
out hitch. Plans are forming to
make this commemoration notable on
both sides of the Atlantic and in the
British colonies, not only as markii;
past good will and peaceful relations
on the part of the English-cpeaking
people, but as a pledge of eace in the
future.
A meeting for the appointment of a
British executive committee to carry
out the project was held in London a
short time ago, and the heartiest ex-
ressions of approval and support
came from all classes of the people
there The list of eminent men who
are interesting themselves in the pro-

The years that might have left the
spirit wise
Have flung the chains of reasoning
round the soul
Have turned its gaze toward an
earthly-goal,
And drifted mists of learning DER our
eyes.
And so we toll for that which is not
bread,
And wear our lives out forging pris-
on bars,
Through which we catch but giimps-
es of the stars
Shining with mocking brightness over
head.
I'VE leave the simple master words of
life -
Behind us with the toys of childhood
years,
Whit :" TO bloodhound wisdom of
the seers
We seek some scant equipment for the
strife.
"Yet now and then a sunset or flower
Or some old haunt revisited once
more,
Or the seas story whispered to the
shore,
Or the winds music on listening
bower
will bring again the unalloyed de-
light
We knew before our life had held a
wrong,
Recall the refrain of a cradle-song
And lift the shadows from our sadden-
ed sight"
