It IS the immutable law OF nature
that something cannot be given TOT
nothing. This is as true with teie-
phone service as any other common
ity or necessity received by the hu-
man family. A telephone company
cannot render to subscriber ten
telephone calls per day, or tnree
hundred telephone calls per month
as cheaply as it can render TO MIN
five calls per day or one hundred
and fifty calls per month. Tnis IS
a fact that has been demonstrated
by every telephone exchange that
has ever been installed which mas

its capacity, and what experience es-
tablishes universally must be the
guide in business affairs as well as
all other affairs of life. But we 90

for any reasonable man to ascertain
the reasons for this in the matter
Of telephone service, as well as all
other business affairs.
In an exchange with small num-
Der of telephones, the construction
is simple and the investment per
telephone is not great; the switch
board is not expensive and is easily
maintained, not requiring the serv-
ices of an expert; the poles are not
required to be large and the cables
if any, are not only small, but OF
short length; no underground con-
struction is necessary; the cost of
operation, maintenance and replace

Post series of delightful articles
Of a reminiscent character telling of
her career as a singer and the fam
GUS people she met in both this coun-

into fame at the conclusion Of the

Generals Grant and Sherman, who
went to the theater to hear her

Kellogg's article in the Post Of last

when I sang in any city where he

He was always quite enthusiastic
about operate music, much more SO

to me once that above all songs he

Georgia, and that naturally was the
song he was constantly obliged to

it must be or ought to be his fav-

all he detested what it stood for and
what 1t forced him to recall. Like
nearly all great soldiers, Sherman

a modest and retiring little person, Miss
Jarvis pleaded her cause so eloquently
with leading elergymen, finaneiers, and
public officials that on May 10, 1910,
Mothers day was celebrated, not only
in Philadelphia, her home city, but also

were held in the Philadelphia churches,

CURRENT COMMENT
DR.. friedman.

1t is hardly just to charge the medical
men Of New York and of the country al
large with refusing to give DIR. Fried
mann and his tuberculosis treatment a
fair show. 1t is one of those cases
where it is even more important that
there be fair play for the general public,
especially those afflicted thousands who
are eager to grasp any straw of hope.
The medical men. and especially the pub
lie health officials, would not be true to
their duty if they were not cautious and
conservative at such a time.
And beyond doubt, DIR. Friedman has
made mistakes. He made a mistake in
hurrying across the ocean to this coun-
try with no other motive in sight than
pure commercialism. He gave his treat
ment but scant demonstration in MS
own country, and even Withdrew his
treatment from an official test by his
own government. He came to America
with loud blowing of trumpets, which
was little becoming his pose as pure
scientist, and his attitude was calculated
to ALLEVIATE the support of the medical
profession from the hour of his arrival in
New York. Later he began a different
course, but he can not win back in a
day the confidence that he forfeited.
As to his treatment, there has been a

CHINA GIVEN ESPECIAL CARE
Simple Reason Why the Modern Ar
ticle Does Not Last as Long as
In the Olden Days.

An idea is prevalent that modern
china is not as durable as the china
of our grandmothers' day. This con-
clusion is drawn by comparison of
the fine old pieces whose color and
geld is still perfect, with the compar'
alive short life of modern sets. But
in arriving at the conclusion, we ought
also to consider the difference in the
care given by our grandmothers and
that Of the modern housewife. No
careless servant was ever entrusted
with that precious old china: no
strong cleansers were allowed to tar
nish its gold; and every slender han
die was looked upon with especial
reverence. Washing the china" was
sort Of household rite, very differ
ent from the ordinary washing OF
dishes. One dear. stately old grand
mother Of the old school with many
servants at her command, never al
lowed her finest china to leave the
dining-room. After 1t had been used.
she cheerfully tied on big apron,
had water. cloth and the towels
brought in, and 1t was indeed a priv
ilege to watch her graceful, white
hands at their task Of washing the
cups" as she invariably expressed 1t.

If We Saw the Beyond.

Now | do not for moment believe
that, If those mysterious portals were
flung wide, and we could see without
hindrance all the secrets of the great
beyond. we should necessarily be eth
er better or happier. On the contrary,
the probability is that, average hui
man nature being what it is, sacred
realities would be degraded to the or
binary levels of the human intercourse
in this world; in our knowledge of life
we cannot rise above what we are.
What is wanted is certain quality Of
life itself which will carry with it the
assurance Of the nearness and sweet
ness of the best and highest in the
eternal kingdom of love.
