obIlteratIna Field Of Waterloo.

While Americans are observing the
of Gettysburg. and
thousands study the battle by the aid
of the monuments and markers on the
battlefield, complaint comes to Eng
land that the Waterloo terrain is in
danger. While La Hale Sainte and
Hougomont still bear the marks of
cannon shot. both are in danger of
being rebuilt, and part of the Hougo-
mont wall against which the wave of
French courage dashed in vain has
already been pulled down. That is not
the worst of the situation. according
to British officer who recently visit
ed the field. "Tramcars" and cheap
fares have been followed by "tawdry
cafes" located on the very spot
whence the Imperial Guard recoiled.
What is to be done? The suggestion
is that cooperation of Belgians and
Englishmen who would preserve the
topography of Waterloo many be effec-
tive In doing for that famous field
what has been done for Gettysburg, but
the first step, 1t is admitted. will be
very expensive. II preservation is not
organized there is danger that the
strategic points will be obliterated by
garden and farm field.-Boston Tran

PASSION FOR THE "PARLoR"
Medical Officer Finds Fault With Gus
tom Of Using Poorest Rooms
for Sleep.

In the course of lectures on per.
sonal hygiene at the Royal Sanitary
institute, Prof H. r. Kenwood, medi.
cal officer of health for Bedfordshire,
dealt with THE Home" Much might
be done for the prevention of tuber-
culosis by the improvement of the
home, he said. according to the London
Daily Telegraph. Wherever there was
dirt there was also degradation. But
1t was the really invisible dirt In the
form Of germs in the atmosphere or
ground that was the most harmful. 1t
was essential in dealing with these to
make the acts of cleansing as simple
as possible. and there should be no
heavy pieces of furniture to move;
no nailed-down carpets, but movable
strips and squares and light washable
curtains. 1t should be remembered
that there is no such thing as dry
cleaning. busting was a mere dis
turbance of particles unless damp
cloth. tea leaves or wet sand were
employed.
Was there. he asked. anything more
absurd than to find little house In
shabby genteel street with its bed
room accommodation overtaxed and
the best apartment used as the par
lor-that holy of holies, with its odor
that might be called sanctimonious,
and occupying cubic space that could
be far better used? This passion for
the parlor was almost like the fetish
of the uncivilized.
Direct sunshine, with its regenera-
tive DOwer and parmtcfda afTerte
should not be reduced by heavy cur
tainB. 1t was the soundest of invest
ments to make the home as healthy
and attractive as possible. The cuckoo
type of parent. depositing its children
at school and expecting them to learn
everything there. should realize that
the true influences in youth are those
of the home itself.

currency. not rigid as now. but readily,
elastically responsive to sound credit,

And the control of the system OF bank.

Il am willing to let all the women

I'm Great Britain there are about l.

II feel both Jolly and bully about the

THE political result would be the
