roots in state of mind rather than in

There are certain subjects that people
must have talked about from the begin

til the end thereof, because by their
nature they are incapable of being settled.
One excellent example of such subject Is

Der OF divorces the parties "eloped after

1 also believe that there is sometimes.
at first sight, an attraction not merely
OF the senses. Hand in hand with the
love-at-first-sightc controversy goes the
equally familiar discussion as to whether
for each OF us there is only one perfect
mate, one person in the world whom we
can each truly love. My belief in this ques-
ton is that there il not one person, but
one type with which we can each be
happiest. Now when two people of con-
genial types meet there Is frequently felt
an immediate attraction between them.
After this has developed into love, which
it sometimes does and sometimes does
not. they may look back and think 1t
was love from the very beginning. But
none of these are really love at first sight.
One day Robert Louis Stevenson saw in
the window OF a restaurant woman
who. to his eyes, WAS the perfect woman.
''She's the only woman l shall ever
marry" he said at once. That certainly
was love at first sight. and since he mar
ried her and was very happy with her,
we cannot doubt it's reality. But that
was Stevenson. Rare souls like his may
at once sense their mate. but in common
every day life such things seldom hap
pen-so seldom that Stevenson is but the
exception that proves the rule.

THE rMronrANCE or PARIS.

ANOE OE 1A1bA0s
When Lord Kitchener predicted the
other day that the present war would
last three years he did SO with the full
knowledge that Paris might fall within
three months
In the Franco-Prussian war the fall
fcf the French capital meant the coli
lapse Of all resistance to Prussia-it
was practically the end OF the war. But
an entirely different situation con-
fronts the Germans today.
With France PROSTATE under the
German heel. the kaiser would still
have to reckon with desperate foes. The
British have not yet begun to fight. In
Canada volunteers by thousands are
preparing for active service on the con-
tinent. In Australia. South Africa and
India big armies are forming, which
within a few months will be hurled
against England's Teuton foe. For
every Briton who is killed in battle to-
day, a half dozen others will take his
place tomorrow.
Should the kaiser be so fortunate as
to humble both France and England,
he would still have to deal with other
foes quite as terrible. Grant that the
Russians are not the best lighters. A
million Slavs may lay down their lives
in Prussia before the war has fairly
begun. The car could easily fill the
gap with a million more. A second mil
lion could be slaughtered and third
million rise to f1ll the gap. BY sheer
weight OF numbers 1t would seem that
Russia could without difficulty over
whelm a Germany weakened by war
with Great Britain and France.
Even should the kaisers terrible
army overwhelm all its foes in Europe,
there would still have to be reckoned
with the fighting men of Japan. Dur
ing these early months Of fighting Ger
many will hardly know she has a foe
in the far east. But eventually the
yellow men who slaughtered the Rus
sian hosts on Manchurian plains will
have to be reckoned with.
The fall OF Paris-if Paris does fall
will be only an incident in this terrible
conflict. 1t cannot end the war

NEW ORDER OF BUSINESS.

There was a time when we used to
gauge the outlook for business by the
statistics of the production and the dis
tribution OF products and manufac-
lures; by the state Of the money mar
ket: by the record of accumulated
stocks; by the condition Of credits.
writes Frank A. vanderlip. in Leslie's.
We can most of US remember q time
when, If given an accurate picture of
the crop situation: the statistics Of
bank clearinss. deposits and reserves:
the data of foreign trade; the status
OF transportation, and the statistics Of
the great industrial factors-such as
steel, textiles and lumber-we could
have formed d pretty intelligent con-
ception of what was ahead Of US in q.
business way. Then the statistics OF
business were a measure OF the BUSH
| ness outlook.
| 1t is almost startling to note how far
from true that is today: how important

Methods by which tuberculosis san
Atoria may re made more efficient

graduates" are discussed in a series
OF papers issued recently by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis in its Of

Life
The papers by DR.. Charles F. Boil
duan, Of the New York city health de-
partment, DR.. Sydney F. Goldstein, of
the Free Synagogue. New York, and
DR.. David r. Lyman, Of the Gaylord
Farm sanatorium OF wallingford
Conn.,, show that many tuberculosis
sanatoria waste their efforts because
they do not care for their patients
properly after discharge DR.. Gold
stein found that in one sanatorium in
New York 81 per cent OF the work
done was literally wasted. Dr. Boil
duan's and DIR. Lyman's results showed
some waste. but not nearly 30 large a
percentage. The reason for these
relapses is found both in the unsani-
! tary homo conditions to which the
patient returns, and also in the indus
trial conditions under which no is
forced to work.
DR.. Lyman says that the greatest
present need in sanatorium treatment
| is early diagnosis, and that such early
cases can usually return with safety
and success to their former occupa-
tions after discharge from the sana-
forum. For certain groups Of city
patients Dr. Bolduan and DR.. Gold
stein favor working places where they
can work at treir trades under medi-
cal supervision and sanitary condi-
| tions.
Experiments of this character are
