FROM THE COURT

Judge Barhorst Was Relieved of

IL you have tried many other remedies
and doctors treatments for Rheumatism
and found they failed, do not be skeptical
about trying RHEUMA. Read the testi-
mony of Judge John Bsrhorss, Of Fort

AFTER treatment by three doctors with
out result, have been cured of a very bad
case of Rheumatism by using two bottles
of RHEuMA. 1t is now two years since I
used the remedy, and am still as we'll as
ever. Previously, was cripple, walk
ing with erutches."
Such testimony should be convincing.

THE WEATHER

"As the days begin to ltlgthen,
the cold begins to strengthen" runs
IN old saw that has rather more
virtue, in common acceptance, than
most of the signs meteorological
that are based on the processes Of
the heavenly bodies and the position
Of the moon. Experience justifies a
pretty strong expectation that about
this season there will be a spell Of
the winters most severe weather.
1t is the normal and the expected;
therefore it is on the whole a good
thing. Business needs it, just as
business needs rains in April and
May, and hot weather in June and
July. The extremes of cold bring
suffering to a minority of unfortu-
mates; but they bring jobs, too; and
Jobs dissipste more misfortune than
all the charity of all the organiza-
rions on earth. People don't want
any kind of help half 50 much as the
chance to help themselves; and they
are helped by winter weather in win
Ter time.
The Washington times., 1914-12-26

preparedness; and had England been
not so much as so per cent, but per-
hsps 40 per cent, instead of the
scant 10 per cent she was prepared
when the war broke out, the conflict
would not have been invited and
compelled in the manner it was.
Frances very considerable degree
of unpreparedness in the last days
of July, England's almost complete
unpreparedness to go to war on the
Continent at the stroke of the clock,
have cost the allied republic on
one side Of the channel and the en-
pire on the other a colossal waste of
money which, if it has not already
outstripped, soon will outstrip, any
thing that full preparedness would
have cost for years before the war.
And then the loss of human beings,
the flower of British manhood, and
French, and German, and Austrian,
and Russian-who can calculate the
ultimate cost to Europe and to the
world of those men that have fallen,
still fall, and for many months may
go on faIling-as the awful price of
an invitation, through unprepared-
ness, to the unreasonable horrors of
the greatest war in the history Of
civilization.
The Washington times., 1914-12-26
DRUGS AND CHILDREN

Not only to every parent but to
every thinking person recent dis
closures in New York concerning the
sale of habit-forming drugs to chill
dren bring a shudder of horror. And
with it should come the conviction
that the present punishment for the
offense is wretchedly inadequate.
It is bad enough to sell to men
and women drugs that injure the
body and vitiate the mind SO irrep-
arably as do the narcotics. But men
and women have, presumably, dis
erection, and in buying the drug do so
at their own risk and with their
eyes open to the consequences.
In selling drugs to children, how
ever, there is no such extenuation.
The guilt is all on one side, and that
is the side of the seller. 1t cannot
be pleaded that drugs have become
necessary to the buyer, for the habit
is only in the forming. We have a
person of mature understanding
fully alive to the consequences of his
acts, vending what is neither more
nor less than poison to those Of an
age that can comprehend neither the
moral nor physical effects Of their
actions. Lives are wrecked at their
very outset for a few dollars Of foul
gain.
Selling habit-forming drugs to any
one under legal age should be made
felony with a stiff prison sentence
attached.

A GOODLY INFECTION

A few weeks ago some squeamish
folks were worrying lest America
might give so much to the Belgians
that there would be left nothing OF
substance for charity at home. Very
we'll intentioned people with thought
of the Belgians at our own door
protested that this was going to be a
very bad winter in American cities;
that our own unfortunates would
need all that the country's sum Of
philanthropic effort could afford to
give.
But the protest had little weight.
The country went on giving to the
Belgians, TO the Red Cross organi-
cations at work in the other warning
states, to all the good causes that
appealed for help. Nothing like the
national response was ever seen.
And what is the result at home !?
From every part of the country
comes the same report, that the
needy in our own cities and towns
were cared for more generously and
more effectively at Christmas time
than ever before, despite that per-
haps there were never so many Of
them in need.
If the last deeps Of the psychology
could be made quite plain, doubtless
it would be discovered that the poor
right here at home were the better
served because of the generosity
abroad. Giving is rather pleasing
habit. At Christmas time the whole
world recognizes that it is more
blessed to give than to receive; and
all the world gives, thoughtless Of
what or whether it shall receive.
Charity, kindliness, goodness, are In
fections; more infectious than any
other qualities, more satisfying than
any other kind of pleasure. The habit
once started, its qualifications real
lied, it just goes on looking for more
chances to do good work. That Is
why giving to the Belgians really
helped our own destitute.
