air without having your neighbours
cat alight on your face in the middle
Of the night.
A night on a cot bed in tent has
its charms, provided you can really
sleep. The scents Of grass and trees,
your close embrace with Mother EartE
have sweetness that is absent be-
hind blinds and plaster walls.
But cad to say, the camp cot bed
has its outs to those of us whose
soft bodies are wonted to the de-
fences of the closed house. The roar
Of the night train, .deadened by the
four walls of house, reverberates in
your unprotected tent, and you are
wide awake. The slightest sound in
the neighborhood rouses your curiosity
and you count the steps of the late
corners on the echoing sidewalk. YOU
cot bed rocks back and forth with the
Inequalities of the ground, and if yor
get your head too low the constant
tide Of blood keeps your nerves
growing. If there are mosquitoes
they add the final touch Of sorrow.
The one great physical need of the
majority of the American people toda,
is more fresh air. The atmosphere O
an office, factory, or mill was neve
contemplated in the age long evolu
ton through which Nature built up tn
wonders of the human frame. Sh,

the assumption that fresh air woul,
always be sweeping it's tide of lif
through our veins. Then man wen

What Makes a Nation.

I believe there is no permanent
greatness to a nation except it be
based upon morality. do not care
for military greatness or military re-
nown. I care for the condition of the
people among whom / live. Crowns.
coronets, miters, military display, the
pomp of war, wide colonies and a
huge empire are, in my view, all tri-
fies. light as air and not worth consid.
ering unless with them you can have
a fair share Of comfort, contentment
and happiness among the great body
of the people. Palaces, baronial cas-
ties. great halls, stately mansions, do
not make a nation. The nation In ev-
cry country dwells in the cottage, and
unless the light Of your constitution
can shine there, unless the beauty OF
your legislation and the excellence OF
your statesmanship are impressed
there on the feelings and condition OF
the people, rely upon 1t yon have yet
