l SUNDAY MORNING TALK
BE GOOD TO YOURSELF.

It was an ordinary street parting that provoked the thought Two men were shaking hands in the crowded thoroughfare, and one exclaimed as they separated, Well, so long, old man; be good to yourself You may hear about the same thing half a dozen times in the course of day ln town.
 I caught myself wondering what would happen if Jimsie with the suit case and the new straw hat should follow the advice of his friend literal ly He would find it a pretty thorough going prescription, that Is sure. If Jimsie should decide to De really good" to himself during the 15 days of his time away from the office, this summer might yield something new in the way of vacations to the aforesaid young gentleman.
 Acting on the jovial counsel be- slowed, Jimsie would begin to be good to himself in the matter of health. If he sits up half of each night, smokes cigarettes till his fingers are yellow, swallows periodic highballs or low ones. for that matter, he Is not being good, but distinctly bad, to himself. He is abusing the most won derful and intricate machine atop Of the earth, the human body.
 When you consider how inestimabla is the blessing of health, it is a seven days wonder that people can treat 1t so carelessly Youth rarely reflects how easily the funds in natures bank may be overdrawn nor how surely we are punished for extravagance A va cation that sends you back to work mora fired tfhaO when VO11 left is truly wretched investment of time and money. To make up arrearages of sleep, to breathe much fresh air to rest the eye on quiet scenes and love ly landscapes, this is part of the good treatment one may accord himself in vacation days.
 Vacation likewise offers to Jimsie a | chance to be good to another part of | himself, his mind Ordinarily he has | little time for reading. Each morning l he skins the sporting pages and the
 market quotations Night usually finds | him too tired to enjoy anything more | solid than a repetition of the same 1 diet. It is impossible in the chinks oi ] time at his disposal to dip into any thing that cannot be finished in g | quarter hour.
 I If he will in vacation days, he ear l give himself the real treat of sitting
 down with a worth while book or two l Something In the way of biography ol | travel or science might prove a gen
 uine tonic. Ills outlook needs to b,
 broadened and his thought stimulated | If bit of solid reading proves dis
 tasteful to Jimsie, the fact ought [,
 show him how far one side of hi
 nature has atrephied It might wei
 spur him on to try and get out of hi.

mental ruts oftener till he recovers former tastes and powers.
 It Is worth any mans while to keep alive the finer and more spiritual powers of his being. Some day he will regret it if he allows himself to go to seed till commonplace topics or the mere grind of money getting are all that interest him. Charles Darwin writes that early in life he loved po- etry and music, but that in later years these were neglected. When in old age and illness he tried to revive his lost loves he found the esthetic faculty dead within him. Then he wrote: If I had to live my life again, I would make it a rule to read some poetry and listen to some music at least once every week. for perhaps the parts of my brain now atrophied would thus have been kept active through use"
 The body is an important part of a man, but 1t is not all of him. He only is good to himself who remembers that he is an immortal being and takes thought for the culture of a soul that is going on an endless way.

THE COAL SITUATION

What effect the endeavor of the New England Coal Dealers association to reach the hearts of the coal operators will have upon those all- powerful men remains to be seen It certainly is a laudable effort and from every section of New England there will be hearty sympathy backing the associations committee in it's work When the re- tail dealers in this part of the country are not justly treated by the operators lt means a shortage in the commodity which has it's effect upon the consum- IT, Coal has for some time been one Bf the things which has entered in The higher cost of living. strikes and other reasons being advanced by the operators for advancing the price.
 There is a general feeling among the retail dealers that they are not being given a square deal. and that with the lack of explanation for it, the decision was reached to find out, if possible. How the lack of production can seriously enter into if is hard to see this year. and t is mere discrim- nation. according tc the dealers, rath- CT than lack of coal. which finds New England million tons short, When tt is asserted thal this shortage exists, hut that the deaier can secure ali he. wants at au advance of twenty-five tn hfty cents g ton, t makes 1t qHiie plain that ia addition f9 tlae public paTlns tb@ advance in WagSa te the miners, they mast also rag this ahdi- tlonal raR@ of, Aft@g being obliged te face an already indignant Bdbije, jt is no wonder that the Tetaij dealers rise I'D and demand just treatment.

The Mystery of Man and Woman.-VI
 Never was a truer saying than that the fundamental reform is the reform of marriage.
 Naturally. the very first duty of the race is to see that it's new born are well born. Hence no science is so important as eugenics
 But it is difficult to come at. because we are dealing with the one force most full of fire, power and danger
 Yet surely, if men have trained the lightning to carry their messages and trail their cars. and manipulated poi sons into medicines, there must be a way to subdue this primal dynamic of procreation to intelligence
 The matter, however, can never be arranged as purely physical It is bound up with all the higher function ings of the human spirit. You cannot regulate human beings as cattle.
 Two things must be preserved romantic affection and family life. These are the two best products of civilization; to brush them aside by any sociallstle or merely physiological or speciously logical scheme will never do
 Perhaps 1t is only by the general Improvement and refining of society, and by better property laws, particu- larly by the abolition of property in- herltance, that the solution will be found.

THg PREVENTION OF FIRES.

It is often the cause of wonderment te people In passing a fire station just what the firemen do to pass away the time which seems to hang upon their hands. This is only natural because they do not see the men when they are at work, barring their service at fires. There is, of course, much time when the firemen are idle, but there is alse no small amount of work in con neetieR with the department, and enc of the requirements in many depart ments is the devoting of a certain amount of time to inspection of build iDgs for the prevention of fires
 It has come to be recognized that preventive medicine with all the in speetion and supervision that it inn plies, is the way to insure the health, not only of the cities. but of the ma ton. Ir is the same with the fire waste. The way to stop the enormous losses is to prevent the fires. In the city of Cincinnati there are fifty men of the fire department who are en- gagged in the inspection work each week day and that cooperation with the requirements TOT SOOu COnSIrucl0n and good and careful occupancy great ly reduces the fire loss.
 The Norwich department has real ized the benefit of the inspection work and the Business section has been well covered in that regard by members or the department. The use of spare time in this prevention work of locat- inc had conditions and ipflranoir O their bet'.erment unquestionably saves many fires, Inspection duty proves tC be time well spent

pENRosE,s ACCUSATIONS.

SLnaSor Penrose has stirred up q hornets nest by his declarations con corning the use of corporation money and his subsequent charges that gigantic scheme existed for the con- lrol of the republican party. There promises to be much more revealed before this matter is closed. and in the submission of proof and the calling of witnesses there will be better evidence for passing judgment upon the accus- Rtions and the forcefnl denials. Much will depend upon what MT. Archbold can and will give in the way of en- lKhtenment on the subject. Whether he can give any positive light on the Roosevelt attitude and action will be tnOwn later.
 Whatever the result unless absolute proof can be given either on one side or the other. there will be opportunity for reference to other situations wherein. accusations have been made that the Colonel attempted 10 cloud the issue. There is a motive on both sides of the matter, so that proof should be produced before judgment is given. When Mir. Penrose claims that Roosevelt wrote to COrtelyou about the ArchSoId contribution. he knew it had been speut the Spring field Republican holds. Tt is an ex- rraoFdinary theory to advance, but there is undoubtedly one person who will see in it certain plausibility That is Bellamy Storer. Those who studied closely the case of the recall of Mir. Storer from Vienna. on ac- count of the Vatican affair. win re- member that. in his exposition of the episode, Mir. Storer charged that Pres ident Roosevelt deliberately wrote at least one misleading letter to cover his tracks and throw dust in the. eyes of future inquirers."
 Mir. Archbold should be in position to tell whether the money was return ed or not. or whether, if not the iden- tical cash. an amount of like prOpor- ton was paid back out of the repub- lican treasury.

THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD.

The Congressional Record is sup posed to Ibe maintained by the govern- ment for the accurate account of the proceedings of both houses of the leg islature, vet it contains so much else including speeches not given within hundreds tof miles of Washington, and some not given at all, that it is no wonder that one congressman seriously made the motion to have it abolished.
 By the '1eawe to print'' arrangement of congress, it. is possible to fill it with all kinds of political matter which properly has no place therein. and. strange as if may seem, all the speech es of acceptance made by presidential candidates with the exception of the prohibition party candidate are in cluded therein The latter was de- nied, but it was only this week that Representative Burleson of Texas was given the privilege of extending his remarks in the Record, and inserted therein twelve and half pages of newspaper clippings relative to speeches which President Taft and Roosevelt delivered before the repub- ican convention. The greater misuse in this practice comes from the fact that congressman are entitled to these Records and spread them broadcast over the country at the expense of the government as they go through the mailsSfree.
 Surely there is need for reform in this direction. A full and complete record of what transpires in congress should beAthe limit to which the pages of the Record should be extended.

TYPHOID FEVER AND VACATIONS

Throughout the summer. and espe- cially with yacationists. there seems to be a danger from typhoid which few realize and as the result many cases of the dread disease develop, to the consternation of any community. The typhoid season so termed. is by no means over. and, in fact. there is no time when fl can be said there is no danger from ii It will develop when ever the germ gets into the system under the proper conditions, and tho need of unrelenting vigor in continuipt every sanitary precaution is apparent. The country offers unusual opportnni- ties for the spread of the disease. and it is often that ii is brought to the city from the country Wherever typhoid breaks out. it means that germs from one case have been communicated rg another, through water. milk. by flies. or in similar manner. Insistence upon clean surroundings should be made. and the fly swatting campaigns. while doing much towards keeping down the flies. need tO be extended to the source of the trouble and eradicate the breeding places of the germ carriers. This means the cleaning up of the un- sanitary places. barnyards, vaults. garbage barrels and the like. The va cationist cannot be too careful in pro- tecting his own health and thereby protect others.
 It is not such an easy matter to To- cate the source of infection when ty- phoid develops. but the examination of the water and milk which is under way under the milk inspectors super vision. shows the. right attitude ir Combating the disease and the keep.

Perhaps you may have noticed that the man who is his own worst enemy is always willing to forgive his own offenses, and is mad with everybody else who will not join him in it, while he claims the right to refuse forgive ness to the most trivial offense against himself by others. Toward themselves all men are peculiar-they seem to be conscious of how good they be and to be totally unconscious of all their mean or evil propensities What g step toward the millennium it would be if every man could see his neighbors' good points as he can his own, and be as forgiving of his follies as he Is of his own. Don't you think we all need reversing? If we sit down and chat together nationally we all have to ad- init that we are no saints-that we are not near enough to sainthood to order the haloes. How quickly this wicked world would be reformed if man would just reverse himself.

Do you see simple but beautiful pie lures in the garden2 Perhaps you do not realize that the artist who paints little pictures to illustrate books and
 to adorn parlors sees his gems in the garden, in the corner of the shrub bery, or beside a little pool of water. The picture of a butterfly on a reed.
 casting clear shadow in a mirroW-
 ing brook, has been sold for more dol lars than laboring man could earn in three months. 1 thought l saw such a picture the other day when a male goldfinch lit on the pliant stem of a Stella sunfiower just below that brown centered orb of gold, and in his gold and black plumage he posed in a way which seemed to make every line about him a line of beauty. He seem ed to be enhaloed with the sentiment "A thing of beauty is a joy forever!" It reminded me of another simple pie ture l was equally impresser with, years ago-a dark coated, orange and blue decorated butterfly upon an iso- lated raceme of orange nill1weed blos- sons. It seemed already to be fram- ed. I have It still in the gallery of memory.

Most folks do not mediate upon the mysteries of life, and only few really sense them. It is just as well that they do not, for 1t hardly seems to be worth while. From the amobae to the man. moth, and from the pigmy to the king. 1t seems to be but one parasitic per tormance after another Life lives on life, and from the residue arises new life. Life must be all conscious if God is all in all-but as classified scienti- fically it is animate and inanimate throughout the universe The universe and all that is therein is life-life in perpetual motion. Life conquers death every day right before our eyes: and yet we see it not. We call the trans formations which release the elements of the old to in turn energize and pro mote the new. death. There is no death, There Is no waste matter. Utility Is written upon everything the very debris harbors life and sus- tains life and prepares the way for the unfoldment of new life. Goodness seems to be inscribed on everything, and goodness is God.
