Waste Of Time

A Yale Professor SAYS that in an aver
age lifetime man wastes three years OF
bis time. That of course, refers only to
the ordinary man; with the man that
loafs on the street corner too lazy to
work and spends his time finding faults
with everything in general and with his
home town in particular, the average of
waste Of time is greater. In fact with
such men and with those who hold down
dry goods boxes and spin foolish or
coarse stories by the hour, it may be said
that about all their life, with the excep-
ton Of three years, is wasted--or worse.
Some Of the money kings examined by
the house money trust committee admit
ed that they believed the concentration
of wealth had gone far enough. Nearly
everybody else believes it has gone too
far and that effective measures of monet
airy reform are badly needed.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed condi-
ton Of the mucous lining OF the Eurta-
chan Tube. When this tube ia infiamed
you have rumbing eound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
1ammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing bat an infamed cnndi-
ton of the mucous surface.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

ENGINE THAT CAN THINK"
New Invention Makes Railway Accidents
impossible Gives Warning
and Stops Train

A committee of British board of trade
officials has expressed satisfaction with a
demonstration of new electrical engine
which, it is claimed, will make railway
travel safe.
The inventor, R. A. Angus, young
Australian electrical engineer, was i'm
pressed by the terrible loss of life on the
railways. He set out to prevent it by
the perfeoting OF an engine with a brain
OF electricity that would need no human
direction.
This is the problem Angus asserts he
has solved. He claims for bis educated
engine that it win be independent of
strikers; that its running will not be ham
pered by fog; that accidents will be auto
matically prevented, and that it will start
and stop, slacken speed, and whistle a
warning to other electrically controlled
locomotives-al without theltouch of hui
man finger.
The inventor had obtained a lease of
abandoned railway. Removing the sig
nails, signal boxes and stations, he set up
beside the track line Of poles carrying a
single wire, and at intervals OF about 500
yards placed between the rails small
cramps" Or raised pieces of metal
The young Australians rolling stock
comprises two engines and tenders equip
ped with curious electrical batteries. In
the cabs ale fitted little flags. '.buzzers"
and colored lamps, while fine insulated
wires are connected with the throttle
valves and whistles,
One of the tests was an attempt to
make one engine ram another. The first
locomotive stood around bend in the
track, while the second tore along the
same line at sixty miles an hour until a
disaster seemed inevitable,
Then the speeding engine halted in its
stride, whistled shrilly, and at length
shut off its steam. Still engine No, / re-
manned at standstiI and engine No. 2

Coming a Spring time Christmas

THE SIGN EASTER PRESENTS
is BECOMING more and more general
in the shops and the same note is being
struck with greater force each year in adj
vertisements. That the movements to.
ward general giving Of presents at Eas-
terrible has grown during the past few
years is apparent. The ahopkeepers. may
eafely be trusted to commercialize Easter
az they have Christmas But their sue
cess lies with the public The question
is directly up to us to decide: Are we go-
ing to allow ourselves. to drift into the
habit Of establishing another Christmas
at Eas,ertidc? There is where we are
headed as directly as we can be. Not on
ly have we vulgarized the dav of Chrlsts
birth az no other nation on the face of
the earth; now We are taking the first
steps to do the same with the day Of
Chrlst's resurrection. We have already
made it day Of the easter bonnet,
which has such deep and intimate rela-
llOA W lAC Vi AAA45k 0ub
that does not suficel The present habit
must now be introduced: the vuIgariza-
ton of the day must be complete But
we are still at the stage where we can
head off this useless burden which we
are unconsciously bpt surely bringing up
on curse Ives. 1t will take years to undo
what we have done with Christmas: are
we going to make the same mistake with
Easter? Every person who THINKS Of
making an Easter present shoald consid-
er well the trouble and the after-regrets
that she is laying up for herself and 9th
ers There is no sense in an Easter gift:
absolutely no reason for it. Why, then,
shall we begin the pracsice-or rather
ieel it? For begun it already has. The
fortunate element In the situation is that
it has not progressed too far. To stamp it
out entirely is the only rational steps

Amend Our Constitution

THE bill to prevent the interstate ship
ment of liquor into prohibition States
was introduced in the House on August
8, 1911, and, was sent to the Judiciary
Committee. 1t remained in Judiciary
Committee exactly one year, five months,
and twenty. five days-until February 5,
1913. On that day the committee report
ed it out. Two days later it was voted
on in the House, with only three hours
given for debate, There can be little
doubt that the intention was TO keep this
bill in the Judiciary Committee forever,
not to repart it out at all until the public
agitation made 1t necessary, Also, even
those who did not favor the permanent
suppression of the bill were perfectly will
ing to keep it in the Judiciary Committee
until after the Presidential and Congress-
ional elections OF last November were out
of the way, because they feared the result
of the record vote, both on the fortunes
Of individual Congressman and on the
Democratic party.
However this bill was recently passed
in the House by a vote 239 to GA. The
Senate passed it without roll call "a de-
vice to save individual Senators from the
embarrassment OF going on record), but
the proportion in favor OF the bill was
about the same as in the House, These
figures, it ia fair to assume, represent
about the same proportion of sentiment
throughout the country. Yet many per-
sons believe, and it is easily credible,
that the Supreme Court will decide the
bill unconstitutional. II this happens,
here viii be four out of FIVE people want
ing something which the Supreme Court
says they can't have. A few more exam.
pies as conspicuous as this will undoubt-
eddy bring one Of two things, either Mr..
Roosevelt's recall of constitutional iudici-
al decisions or national constitutional
convention.
One amendment to the Constitution
the income-tax = has beeen adopted
by the thirty-slxth State within the last
four weeks Another, for the direct cleo
ton OF Senators, is on the rounds of the
various State Legislator es. A third, to
limit the Presidential term to six years,
has been adopted by the Senate, and is
just about to be sent out by the House.
A fourth, to provide for the direct nomi-
nation of Presidents, is just about to be
launched in the Senate. With all this
clumsy use Of the cumbersome machinery
for constitutional amendment, a good
many people are beginning to wonder
whether it wouldn't be good idea to call
a constitutional convention and attend to
great many much needed things al at
once.

on the Government for help. The cues
ton in my mind is whether we need
more cooperation or more individualitv.
This is question which each OF as must
decide for himself We may have more
and nobser Thoughts as iudividualists, as
we walk along slowly in the mud and
step aside for the man who believes in
cooperation as he passes in mis- six-cylin-
der automobile, but probably the man ia
the automobile is the more comfortable.
Taking it all in all, from practical point
OF view, am inclined to believe, while
the individualist may read will in the
story book, the Corporations" really
made for greater progress.
There is no doubt going to be some
thing doing" in the next four years.
President elect Wilson apparently stands
for individualism. Some of our great
institutions stand for cooperation II
will be interesting to watch the outcome
Of the two vast forces. theoretically,
individualsm is great thing, but prac-
ticaIly, cooperation seems to knock the
persinmons. Cub In Hardware Reporter

Cooperation the Modern Idea

So after many interviews with many
men in many different OCCUPATIONS, /
took the Pennsylvania train for St. Louis.
Years ago TO make this journey would
have consumed two nights and two days,
with three or four changes Of cars on as
many different lines Of railroad. Now
the journey is made 10 just twenty-four
hours, with one sleeper and one line all
the way through The modern idea is
undoubtedly the cooperation. Men IN
order to accomplish the most and get the
best cut Of life must cultivate the coop
erytive spirit Fighting is a good deal
of fun, especially il you happen to come
out on top, but after all, fighting is des
tructive. Just continue the fighting
idea to its logical conclusion and all who
take part IN the game must suffer. On
the other hand, cooperation is construc-
tive. Where fighting tears down, coop
GRAFTON builds up. The greatest service
has been rendered and the best results
have heen obtained in this and all other
countries by cooperation.
Great Mass Of People Individualists
In fact, to boil down my observations
on my recent visit to New York, I am
led to conclude that the great mass of the
people of this country have been indi-
vidualists. There have, ON the other
hand, been comparatively few people
who believed in cooperation. Now it
would seem that those who believed in
cooperation practically own the whole
country and the individualists ale calling

A LITTLE HEALTH TALK
The Average American Citizen Consumes
Too Much Meat In Fact, More
Than Is Good for Him

In the early days OF American history
the explorer, the pioneer, frontiersman
and herder found meat the easiest food
secured, and at times almost the only
food available. Until most the good
land in this country had been occupied
game or other meat was cheap 80 we
Americans came to use much more meat
per capita than the people OF Europe or
ASIA. Now we eat much meat, more be-
cause of an established custom rather
than need. There have been philosoph-
ers who have abstained from meat, but
until recently the idea has prevailed and
does yet among those who are not well
informed that meat eating is essential
for physical strength.
Reduction Aids Efficiency.
The fact are that many have found
that by gradually reducing the proper
ton of meat in the diet they feel quite
as well as when using larger amount;
they find themselves more alert and able
to accomplish their work with less fatigue;
that ailments are less frequent and that
their mental condition bas improved.
Ten Per Gent Sufficient.
Prof. Chittenden, director of the Shelf
field Scientific School, by a loug series Of
experiments, has shown that the amount
OF proteid, or heterogeneous food, required
to maintain health and vigor is much less
than has been assumed was needed. In
the average American diet proteid con-
stitutes about 80 per cent of the entire
food consumed. but Prof. Chittenden
has found that 10 per cent ia entirely suf-
ficient for any person, no matter whether
he is student or laborer; and that sur
plus of meat, eggs and cheese does more
harm in the body than surplus of other
kinds of,food, because they putrefy readi-
ly and their use in greater quantity than
necessary loads the blood with toxic sub
stances which are harmful,
Less Meat-Less rheumatism.
There appears to be considerable evil.
denee to show that colds, rheumatism
and some other ailments are much less
frequent in those who do not use an ex-
cess of meat, and it is asserted that adj
vancing age is not so perceptible
The 10 per cent of proteld in the diet
may be obtained entirely from the yege-
table kingdom. Then why not reduce
our meat consumption to the advantage
Of not only our pocket-books, but Of our
general health.
Don't Be Precipitous.
Don't get up in hurry" says the
family doctor. Remember that when
you sleep the vital organs are at rest. A
sudden spring out Of bed is shock to
these organs. Stretch and yawn and
yawn and stretch. Stretch your arms
and legs, stretch the whole body A
good yawn and stretch is better than a
cold bath" We are very glad to find
this wholesome advice in print. We
shall cut it right out and paste ton the
foot of our bedstead where it shall he

coming OF the rosy dawn. What's more,
we shall wrap all the quilts and comfort
