The Socialist had something good for the masses of people, bat Billy will skin them in 1916, the first plank of his platform will do that. Bill never thought of that until he had to work for Woodrow and Humility, at twelve thousand dollars per year. He saw there was little grape juice in that, he then got in sympathy with the class and says the labor ing man should have a minimum wagesof thirty thousand dollars per year and time and a half for all over time.

HealthfuI Hints.

Eat fruit every day. Canned fruits
are good. Cooked fruits are often
better than dubious fresh fruit, but
some fresh fruit is essential. Eat
fresh, green vegetables whenever you
can get them. Thoroughly wash all
raw fruits. Eat some of the bulky
vegetables Of low food value, like car
rots, %parsnips, spinach, turnips, squash
and cabbage, to prevent overnourish.
ment.
Eat slowly and taste your food well,
and 1t will slide down and give more
nourishment than food eaten quickly.
Never eat when tired or overex.
hausted. but lie down, even If only
for a few minutes, before dining.
Barley water is a safe and cooling
drink and is nutritious as well. Put
into a pitcher N large tablespoonful
of well-washed pearl barley. pour over
it two quarts of boiling water, cover
and let stand until cold. Drain off
the liquid. add one-half cup of sugar
and a little nutmeg. II liked the juice
of a lemon is a pleasant addition.

TIRED OF NATIONAL ANTHEMS
Explains Why He Would Like
a Short Rest.

How restful it is to sit in an Amer
lean theater in war times" exclaimed
a man who had just returned from
London the other night.
"Soporiic. perhaps, but why rest
ful?" he was asked.
You Just go over to London and
sit through a performance in n of
their theaters and see for yourself"
he replied. Lord, Those everlast-
ing, COMPOUNDED national anthems!
Four of them they play every night.
And four times the entire audience
stands stolidly up on it's hind legs
while those hymns are played. Not
with any enthusiasm, mind you. re-
ligiously, dutifully, solemnly. just like
family prayers. First God Save the
King then the Marseillaise,' then the
Russian anthem, and finally the Bel
gian. And at every theater there is
the same routine. Personally / al
ways liked the Marseillaise' and the
Russian national hymn because they
were magnificent tunes. But after a
week of standing up four times a
night while they are mournfully blared
out on London theater orchestras you
would begin to have an luminosity for
the finest music in the world"

1t will no doubt interest feminine
readers to learn that the slit skirt is
not exclusively a feature of latter day
civilization. 1t seems, indeed, to be,
as some male critics have suspected,
a product of savagery. Where the
idea originated is not quite certain.
1t has been variously attributed to
Paris and New York. The discovery
has now been made that this latest
creation in female attire is in vogue
in places where no white women and
very few white men have ever set
foot, and most of those who have ven
tured there have been killed and eat
en-. In a report to the minister of in-
ternal affoirs regarding his recent ex-
petition up the Fly river, in Papua,
Judge Murray states that he visited
parts of the territory which, so far as
he was aware, had not previously been
explored, and one of the most inter-
esting of his discoveries was the fact
that all the women in one of the tribes
were wearing slit skirts. This style
of apparel seemed to have been in
use for many years.

The cost to Europe of the Napoleon
ic wars in 1806-1S08, according to Ma
~poleon's budgets. averaged about
eighty-three million dollars a year.
The net cost of % years fighting
against Napoleon cost England some
four billion dollars. England could
easily spend that now within two
years, says Springfield Republican.
The comparisons are suggestive, not
scientific, because the wealth of those
countries is today SO much greater
than 100 years ago. But with the
much greater facilities in these days
for the swift mobilization of a coun-
try's economic strength for war, as
well as it's military strength, the cost
of campaigns has been enormously in
creased relatively as well as abso-
lutely. Exhaustion. therefore. must
come sooner by far than in former
times.
