A FIGHT AGAINST POVERTY.

A few days ago, when Sir George
Palsh was speaking about the trou-
Died state of affairs in his country
ne said that the hope of England
lay in its life insurance and old age
pensions. One of our great problems
is the decrease of poverty and the
reduction of the dependent pauper
classes. That is really the work of
lie insurance agents. We are SOL
dlers engaged in this great FIGHT
that is being waged by all civilized
countries against poverty. Some one
has described insurance as being
IN constant warfare with bankr,1nt-
cy and ruin. but ever victorious /"
In England, fifty, years ago, it was
stated that the poor rates, which
prior to 1900 were increasing $780,
OOO annually, owing to life insur-
ance and kindred institutions, had
decreased $10,OOO,OOO. In 1875 the
pauper burials here were 23.7 for
every 10000, while in 1912 thew
were but 81: and the decrease was
very largely due to life insurance
our own poor rates in this country
have decreased from 1872 per 100
OOo population in 1880 to 1914 in
l9OO, decrease of approximately
one-fourth, owing largely to life in
surance as an institution of thrift

AVOID MIXED VETCH SEED.

Some seed dealers are offering
mixture of weed vetches and hairy
vetch as mixed yetch'' seed. In
Russia, which is one of the princi-
pal sources of hairy vetch seed i'm
pcrted into the United States, hairy
vetch is not raised as a crop, but is
separated from rye in which it oc
ours as a volunteer. In this way
the seed of many kinds of weed
vetches occur mixed with hairy
vetch seed, but are clean ed out be-
fore marketing the hairy vetch.
These cleanings, containing a mix
ture Of wild vetches and other
see'ls as we'll as some hairy vetch
seed, are usually sold as pigeon feed,
the use to which they should be put.
Some lots have been imported into
the United States and either used
as all adulerant of hairy vetch
seed or sold as mixed vetches.
these mixtures or of little or no
value aside from the hairy vetch
seed they contain, and they should
not be used for seeding purposes.
Hairy vetch seed can be easily dis
tinguished from the seed of other
vetches by the difference in color
OF the interior of the seed. Crush
ed hairy vetch seed is of d lemon
yellow color, somewhat lighter on
the flat than on the rounded surface.
The crushed seed of most of the ot-
her vetches occurring with the
seed of the hairy vetch varies in
color from a dark fawn to a reddish
orange.
Crush a small handful of seed
and if there are any fawn, salmon,
or reddish orange colored pieces
the seed is not pure hairy vetch.

"pAY oF GREAT THINGS :,

The president OF the United States
will make no campaign speeches. In
an address to the people as simple and
elegant in its English as it was force
ful and irresistible in its logic, the
chief executive outlined his plans for
the immediate future, says the Mered-
ian, Conn, Morning Record, a republi-
can publication.
This IS the day of great things" and
the president, actuated by the high
spirit Of patriotism which has domi-
mated his actions ever since he assum-
ed the guidance OF the nations affairs,
is determined that the country shall
not suffer through even a temporary
diversion from its interests.
President Wilson has been tried as
perhaps no president since Abraham
Lincoln. He has been forced TO put in
the background the most sacred per-
sonal affairs that he might serve the
nation to the utmost of his mental abil-
fly and physical strength. He was not
permitted even the time for the express
sion of grief over the loss OF his best
beloved, which falls TO the lot of the
humblest citizen. Grim duty beckoned
him and he answered.
Now, all his energies are being bent
toward saving his country from the
snares into which she might easily fall
through incompetency. Politics fades
into insignificance in view of the
weighty things which are transpiring
in Europe. and which indirectly affect
the United States
President Wilson believes in per-
sonal service and self-sacrifice, If nee
essary. To that end he is making poll
tics subservient to the great questions
which daily clamor for solution.
The presidents appreciation of the
eternal fitness of things will be appre-
ciated by friend and foe alike. 1t Is
a relief TO know that in these days OF
stress and strain the pettiness of poll
tics IS not TO be aired by the chief ex-
ecutive OF the United States, and that
personal ambition Is not to have prece-
dence over service to country

PLEASURABLE WORK.

One OF the changes which must be
gradually introduced into industry, If
we are to prepare the way for a fresh
Outburst OF human spirit in 1t, writes
Professor Edward d. Jones in the En-
cheering Magazine, is to increase the
element of pleasure. There are parts
OF industry which are now fascinating
to the workers. Western America
glows with the enthusiasm OF the con-
quest of nature by the mind. Many
engineering conceptions, many smooth
" interlOcking systems of administra-
ton, and many conserving plans OF
financing. have been accompanied, in
the doing, with thrills Of delight which
have bound the performers like lovers
TO their tasks
Good work and joyous work are. in
the long run, the same. Wherever in
industry good things have been done
wherever achievements have been
characterized by vigor and largeness
of plan. simplicity and directness OF
method. and nervous beauty and finish
of detail-we may be sure that we have
to do with work which has permitted
the performer to experience joy. free
dom. and an exulting sense of strength,
while il was being accomplished. And,
contrariwise. when We find the worker
intelligent and joyous we may expect
superior results. for then the psycholo-
gical conditions are right.
Pleasure in work produces a symps-
thetic. teachable mental attitude to-
ward the task. II makes the attention
and eases the strain OF
attending. II stops the nervous leaks
Of worry. One OF the secrets OF lasting
well is to avoid getting stale and tired
and in a mental nut. Pleasure gives 4
sense of freedom that is a rest. as a
wide road rests the driver. To know a
thing thoroughly and attain master

himself as the best representative ever

This necessarily is a big statement, as

official duties with a conscientious
regard for the interests of his consti-
tuents and theScountry at large. He is
the representative of all the people and
exerted himself in behalf of all. In

ABOUT COLDS.

This is the opening OF the season of
colds and inasmuch as those who ought
10 know tell US that they are unneces-
sary. the rules laid down for their
avoidance cannot b. too often placed
before the public. There are num-
Der OF fallacfes about colds which have
become deeply entrenched through the
long years during which they have
been with Us.
FaIlacy one IS that It should be kept
heated. Fresh air. fresh air and still
more fresh air IS the best preventive
Of colds. It's the sharp contrast be
tween the stuny air OF overheated
rooms, with their billions OF flying dust
specs and bacteria. and the cool out
doors that chiefly breed colds. You
may get a cold while breathing fresh
air but # won't be the fresh air that
causes II. Did you ever see hunter.
woodsman or primitive Indian with
cold?
FalIacy two is that you should
feed" that Is. gorge. a cold. OF
course. you must eat. But don't over
eat. And be dOubly careful that the
bodily excretions aren't interrupted.
II you must eat more than usual, put
the emphasis on fruits
Drinking copiously and frequently of
pure water IS a good medicine for a
cold-much better than whiskey.
But the best cure IS 20 be so careful
with exercise. eating and ventilation
that a cold won't have anything TO do
with you.
Walk more. open the windows more.
drink more water and avoid dope.
