As result of the war a new branch of heaIing-the cure of cancer with radiun1-finds itself seriously hamper ed Germany is the largest refiner of radium from ores of any country, and the American hospitals and doctors have been relying upon Germany to sup ply this new precious and wonderful healing agency. The war has absolute ly stopped the export of radfum from Germany, and there is sure to be a radiufn shortage throughout the earth. At the moment hope is held out tc cancer victims it is snatehed away by the war god.
 The result is an agitation in Wash ington for a government-owne radiun plant. America is the largest producer of radiurn reducing ores, and there is no reason why the government should not undertake the extraction of the wonderful commodity. It will be i'm possible to ship any more radium ore to Germany for possibly many. months. Representa- tive Foster, of Illinois, has a bill providing for the government manufacture of radium ard House members are urging that it be passed as an emergency measure.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
(SpaciaI1

Especially
 Washin gton, Aug. 12-The necessity for Congress to pass an emergency pill permitting American registry for for eign built ships in order to carry American commerce now that war in Europe has demorahzed the shipping Of the world, has absolutely clinched the long contention of Andrew Furus- eth, legislative agent or the interna- tfonal seamen's union that wages and nothing else is the real secret of the United States lack of 8. merchant mar inc,
 American sailors, wages are compar- ative1y high. American owned vessels must pay American wages to their sailors. Therefore American capitalists investing in ships, register them under foreign flags in order to pay the Eur opean and Asiatic scales of prices
 The contention of Furuseth is proven 1 by the very fact that America finds herself in the present dfficfufty in the matter of providing ships for our com merce. The Underwood-Sirnmo tar if provides for the free entry under certain conditions of foreign-built ves- sels bought by Americans for Ameri- l can registry. The old contention had been that the heavy cost of ship con l structfon in this country prevented an l American merchant marine. Yet m spite of the free1isting of vessels, ar the outbreak of hostilities in Europe the United States found herself with out merchant vessels No one had taken advantage of the free list provision.
 Wages is the real bar to a merchant marine, says Furuseth. The way to remedy it. it Is declared, is to pass l the seaman's bill which a5oo1fshes ar frest for desertfon of sailors. This, ne says, would raise the worlds sailors wages to the American standard, and l there would be no longer be any reason | Xzyf7x Iregister their ships under foreign flags GOVERNMENT MANUFACTURES

Eugene Christian, F. S. d., the worlds
greatest Food Scientist. has just published
a new book called hHow to Live 1DC
Years."
This book tells you what to eat accofd-
ing to your age, yolir work and the time Of
the year 1t teaches you how to select,
how to combine and how to proportion
your food at meals so as to establish perfect
digestion and assimilation of food and
perfect elimination of waste. In other
words, it teaches you how to cure all
stomach and intestinal disorders by remov-
ing their causes, which is wrong eating.
II you have indigestion, gas, fermentation,
sour stomach or any such disorders after
meal, this book tells you how to put the
remedy on your table at the next neal
DR.. Christian shows that all animals ex-
cept man live about eight times as long as it
takes them to get their growth If man
should do this he would live nearly 200
years, but civilized man dies at the average
age of 49, He begins to lose his teeth, his
eyes and his hair, and drops into his grave
only few years after he is grown.
Dr.. Christian shows that p per cent Of
all the human beings born into the world
die before they are one year old Is per
cent more die before their fifth birthday,
and more than half Of the human race die
before they are twenty-five.
All other animals on the globe live eight
times as long as it takes them to get their
growth Man breathes the same air. drinks
the same water, lives under the same sun
shine, but differs from his brother animals
only in his eating, therefore DR.. Christian
shows coucIusively that this appalling dis
crepency must be on account of his eating
habits and he has proved that his theory is
true by curing over $4,000 people within
the past ten Yeas by teaching them what to
eat and how to eat. 'Iiow to Live 100

Not Invited.

About a week ago I attended a party given in honor of one of my schoolmates.
 I prepared myself and had every thing ready for the day of the party. My parents hired cab and I ar- rived just ir time. As I was stepping out of the cab I noticed a poor little girl standing e little ways from the cab.
 She looked very pitiful and felt very sorry for her. but as I was with my mother I could not stop
 The little girl who was having the party was waiting on the porch She received many gifts and was very thankful
 After the children had all come we started playing games such as Hide the Thimble,'' and many others. Aft CT a while refreshments were served and we enjoyed them very much.
 Just as we were all seated I looked out of the window, and there was the poor little girl standing by the cab.
 A lady passed by and asked her why sine was crying and she replied:
 T was nou Invited"
 The lady was very sorry and slip ped a coin into her hand and then they departed.
 After the refreshments we started playing games again. It was getting late then and most time for fathers supper, so after wishing a good night to my friends mother I departed

The Sphinx,

Dear Uncle Jed: At school we arc studying about Egypt; and the sphinx has interested me so much 1 thought would write to you about it.
 One of the first things we would no- ticei if we were taking a trip through Egypt would be the many monuments, built of solid masses of rock, which the Egyptians erected in ancient times. It is not known for what purpose they were built
 The Sphinx Is one of these. It is situated in the desert. It has the head and face of a man, but the body of a crouching lion. It is one hundred and forty feet long and one forefoot is fifty feet long. It is as high as a five-story house. It was still larger, but much of it has been carted away to Cairo to make buildings there.
 To get an idea of the largeness of the head, it is told that an ear of it is four feet long. A man standing on the top of the ear could not reach the crown of the head. The mouth if open en could hold an OK or a camel Some Arabs having shot at the nose of the Sphinx, broke off pieces of it. The nose is about five and half feet long.
 How we wish this great monument would tell us its history. and that of the people who built it. It is supposed that this great mass of rock was built five. or six thousand years ago. PAULINE SMOLOWITZ. Age 12.

A Leoend of the South Wind. .

The 1azy-eyed south wind lay upon his down couch of cloud mist, and looked away to the distant north. He sang softly to himself as he swung to and fro. and wondered what there might be of joy and beauty away off toward the northern sky; and as he looked, he saw a great field; and among it's waving grasses were bright yellow flowers, shining like bits of gold.
 ''They are like my own soft yellow gold" thought the south wind; "the soft yellow fields, and hills, and val leys, and dales, when the Indian sum mer broods over the earth; but I wonder, wonder what the little yellow flower it, whence 1t came and whither it will go.''
 The south wind was indolent; he rose from his soft calm mist couch.
 One morning he looked again to- wards the north, and To, a great change had come upon the field of golden flowers. The rich yellow had disappeared and in place of the gold en crown each flower shone fieecy white. among the waving grasses.
 Alas! Alasi" the south wind sighed; ''my brother, the Worthy wind, has wrought this change He has touched the heads of these golden flowers with his icy breath" Why need he blight the summer fields ?' Why?

Who Arc the Patriots? :?


 Dear Uncle Jed. There is something wrong in thinking soldiers and sailors are the only patriots. What shall we say of the women who do not fight? What shall we call Martha Washing ton, who was compelled to stay at home while her husband was at Valley Forge? What shall we call thousands of women who sent their brothers and sons to help the cause of liberty? Were not these women as good patriots as their husbands and broIhers2
 \ multitude of men, even in the Wal. of the Revolution. were never soldiers or sailors. and yet were patriots.
 There was Benjamin Franklin, for instance. He never fought but who loved America better tran he?
 There was Samuel Adams. Who ever heard of his fighting a battle? But he was brave and sturdy patriot as any soldier in the army.
 Then there was Washington $ friend, Robert Morris, of Philadelphia, who helped get money to pay the soi- diers.
 Brave firemen stand ready to die to bring little children out of burning houses.
 Brave fellows hold in check madden ed horses and prevent them from run ming away with women and children.
 Brave doctors and nurses go where deadly disease is.
 Brave engineers are not afraid of sudden death if they can save their passengers from accident.
 Wherever we see a brave man, or woman, or child, there we look for a patriot

When the people in the United States heard that France had regained the Louisiana territory they were greatly alarmed. They thought it was enough to have feeble Spain for a nelghbor, but now to think of DOW erful France.
 The people went to President Jef- ferson and begged him to purchase thlS territory from France. Jefferson. with his great faith in the people, sent aonroe over to see if he could pur- chase It. The people in France did not want to part with it; but Ma poleon -Bonaparte, the aH-powerfuI ruler, consented
 when Monroe came back to Amer lea many of the people were waiting Tor him. They thought by this pur7 chase he had broken the laws of the Constitution.
 Jefferson paid s15,000,00O for this territory. and he felt very badly when ne heard that some of the people were not satisfied. The people who said ny this purchase Monroe had violated the Constitution were greatly mistaken TOT 1t helped them in the following ways: It kept France from planting colonies in America to be our near neIghbors; it kept England from get tlng possession of the territory by a. treaty with France: it gave us con tro! or the Mississippi river. and it added much strength to the nafionai government

sesinninss of the New England Town

eeginnngs of the New England Town.
 The earlierest colonists came to New England as members of churches, of ten led by pastors. Usually one of their first acts was to erect a church building at some convenient point They were generally Congregational 1sts, who believed that each church should be independent and self-goy- erning
 Near the church was as a rule a strip of land owned by the whole sary in order to make a living from the soil. Among the colonists there were social distinctions, but no sharp divisions into social classes.
 The settlers being at first left pret- ty much alone by the English gov ernment, managed civil and religious affairs to suit themselves. Even before landing. the Pilgrims, while the May flower was lying off Cape Cod, drew up an agreement in regard to govern ment. The famous document was signed by the forty-one men of the company on November II, 1920.
 The government which the coIonists established was mooeled upon the Eng lisff parish. which still had a general meeting of the taxpayers and pos seSsed both civil and church func- tions. Church and state were closely related at first. and in some colonies only church members could vofe Tax es were levied for church purposes
 In coming to America new life was given to what remained of English denloeratic institutions, So that, as has often been stated, the Germaric mark. was unconsciously revived in New. England

 At first father thought it was some strange bird. She is gray with bronze feathers on her neck.
 After time papa bought me a little bantam rooster. He is white with Ions black tail feathers. He is a proud lit tie fellow. All summer they lived in a little house of their own. but when the snows came we put them with the big hens.
 The little hen has laid a nice lot of eggs which I have sold to my mamma.
 I have two cats. Their names are Sandy and Bunny. Sandy is a yellow coon cat. He is nine years old, which is just my age. Bunny is black and white. I called him Bunny because he had a short tail.
 We have a yellow collie. His name is Teddy.
 We have a horse named Milhe. She is very fond of sugar. I go right in the stall and she never hurts me.
