We Have Souls and We
Can't Afford to Cruelty
Them

1t is to be had gratuitously in
our parks, and it touches us at a
point that it is good for us to
have appealed to and stimulated.
Music is the only art that is
mentioned as having a place
among the diversions of the
heavenly world.
Books also are inexpensive,
and single thought from some
author who writes words that
are living words, if only they be
taken into the mind and held
there, will bring in a new in
huence and put an altered COM
plexion upon experience.
And to do that requires but a
moment: it need not interfere
with the duties of our work-a-
day life, but it is certain to raise
the tone of that life, to give it a
meaning that it can not have if
there is nothing in it but the
body and he toll, the servile toll,
to which by necessity the body is
so often bound down.
We have souls, and we can not
afford to have them erucihed
ether upon the cross of fleshly
indulgence or upon that of in
dustrial slavery.

Same Truth Is Taught in
the Story of Christ's
Temptation

This same truth is taught in
that Bible story of Christ's
temptation in the wilderness,
when the devil undertook to
break Christ down by holding
his attention off from his better
self and trying to make him
think about gratifying his animal
impulses, and converting the
stones, which lay about him, into
bread.
To which Christ replied, "Man
shall not live by bread alone"
Christ's reply to the devil is
exactly in line with what these
foregoing paragraphs have been
trying to say, only he said it
better than we can and more
concisely.
1t is very true that we must
not neglect the flesh
The value and the growth of
that in us which is not flesh will
depend good deal on our keep
ing the flesh in a good condition
of repair and preservation.
The stomach must somehow
be filled and the back must be
covered to keep out the cold and
the rain, and with great many
people, especially in times that
are as difficult as these, that
seems to be about all that it is
possible for them to do.
And yet even they can not
afford not to do something that
will help to keep alive and to
keep growing that spot in them,
down somewhere in the midst of
the flesh, where are housed the
finer and the upward looking inn
pulses of our nature.
We all have them, and it is the
salvation of our life to keep
them nourished.
A little music is worth great
deal, and it is not costing much
Just now.

It's as Much Nature for an
Apple to Rot as to

1t is just as much in the order
of nature for an apple to rot as
it is for it to ripen, to grow bad
as for it to become more lus-
cious. And things become bad
of themselves without having to
have any attention given to
them, but in order to become
better good deal of attention
has to be given.
1t is the same with a man as
with an apple, or with anything
else that has possibilities.

charge of the Red Cross work in San
Francisco during the earthquake period,
has gone to Columbus under orders to
cooperate with the medical officer in
charge of the army field hospital. The
Red Cross also sent kilograms to the gov
ernors of all of the states who are presi
dents of the state boards and to fifty or
sixty of the local Red Cross chapters, re-
questing them to appeal to the public for
food and supplies for the flood sufferers.
Cannot Enter Dayton.
While the Red Cross is marshaling it's
forces about the flood district, it's efforts
to succor the flood sufferers in Dayton
are handicapped. as its workers are un-
able to enter the submerged city. A host
of nurses and doctors is at Columbus,
and a corps of hundreds of other Red
Cross workers could be assembled from
the states Immediately in the vicinity of
the flooded area, but the good offices OF
all are held in allegiance. as they cannot
get to the suffering thousands.
T. j. EdmondS, the Red Cross agent in
charge of the relief work at Dayton,
wired headquarters here today that the
town is cut in two and that 1t is impos-
sible to communicate with the north end.
He urges the necessity of sending doc
tors nurses and medical supplies and
food into the town from the northern
side. He likewise appeals to towns to
the west of Dayton TO dispatch motor
boats with relief supplies to smaller
towns about Dayton. whose inhabitants
are at the mercy of the elements.
Red Cross Getting Money.
While the Red Cross workers in Column
bus are waiting for an opportunity to
dispatch their forces to Dayton, the APP
peal for assistance has gone country
wide. and generous thousands are pouring
in their contributions to Red Cross agen-
cies in every state in the Union. From
Boston this morning came check for
$4,000, representing yesterday contrl-
buttons from Boston sympathizers.
The Red Cross is urging cities near the
submerged area to supply food, clothing
and bedding, the first necessities of the
suffering thousands. The organization is
holding the majority of it's workers
throughout Ohio and Indiana under
marching orders, but hesitates to assem-
BILE them all at Columbus for fear that
their efforts may be paralyZed through
congestion there. Like fear is felt about
food supplies, and so their purchase VIII
be left with the agents on the scene, as in
other circumstances enormous quantities
Of provisions might perish.
The Red Cross forces are cooperating
with Col Hall, surgeon general of the
Ohio militia, who is directing operations
at Columbus. AS soon as 1t is possible
to reach Dayton the Red Cross workers
will be sent in in almost unlimited num-
bers.

Buy Near Flood Area.
War Department authorized agents of
the Quartermaster's Corps to buy sup

food. area possible but of course.
the relief workers will be greatly handi-
capped in their efforts through de-
lay in the arrival of the army equip
ment especially the tents.
While the Red Cross expects to OBJ.
| tain food and immediate supplies in
Ohio and Indiana, it was pointed out
today that enormous sum of money
will be required when the work of re-
habili-ation of the devastated area is
undery ken. So it will conserve no
small portion of the funds now gener-
ously pouring in for use in giving
thousands of the homeless a new start
in life.
While no regular troops were moved to-
day to the flood district a general order
has been issued from the War DEPART
| ment for all troops in the eastern de-
partment to hold themselves in readiness
for duty. which would make it possible to
assemble 1,4OO or ], $50 soldiers in the vi
entity of Dayton within a few hours by
drawing only upon those posts within a
radius of 200 miles of the stricken city. =
Troops That Could Be Drawn.
From Fort Thomas, KY, it would be
possible to draw the LIST and u Battalions
of the 9th Infantry; from Fort Wayne,
Mich, a detachment of the Goth Infantry
recruits and regulars from the Columbus
barracks; the 1st Battalion of the s29th
Infantry and the I'd Battalion of the same
organization at Forts Porter and Niagara,
respectively, in New York; the Sd Squad
ron of the 10Th Cavalry and detachment
of the 9th Infantry from Fort Sheridan,
ILL.,; as we'll as the I'd Squadron of the
18th Cavalry, a detachment of the 7th In
fantry from Fort Leavenworth, as well
as officers from the service school at the
last named post. But it was not expected
at the department today that it would be
necessary to call out the regular troops
to work with the police and the state mi
litia organizations in protecting the flood
victims and restoring order throughout
the devastated country.

Quick Response of Government.

The government at Washington has re-
sponded with splendid precision and
alacrity in it's every agency to the ap-
peal for help from the sufferers by
flood in Ohio. From President Wilson S
initial call upon the charitably minded
people of the country yesterday morn
ing to the last telegraph order this
afternoon for the purchase of rations in
the western cities, the principal func-
ton OF the government was the execu-
ton of relief measures.
1t was necessary for the executive Of
ficers, from the President down, to as
sumo the great weight of responsibility
to do all of this beneficent work, it
being admitted that there was absolute
ly no warrant of law for the expendi
ture of a single dollar of government
money, or the valuation of days ra-
tions, or the loan of a tent. They rely
upon Congress, however. to justify them
to cover the expenditures.

Burden on War Department.

Though every branch of the service
capable of rendering assistance, perform
ed it's part, yet naturally the burden of
the relief work fell upon the War De-
partment and the army. Secretary Gar
rison was busy throughout the day in
frequent consultations with President
Wilson. in conferences with the heads
of the great military bureaus and with
his stenographers in dispatching and an
swering a flood Of kilograms relating to
the floods in the central states. AS a
result relief plans have been system
atized and are now in full operation.
Agents bought food supplies in the
open markets: tents and camp equi-
pages were placed in express cars; medi-
cal supplies were hurried forward. The
celebrity and ease with which these great
functions were exercised were regarded
at the War Department as ample vindi-
cation of the newly developed policy of
consolidation of the supply departments
