 Why so hot, little man?
 You know a lot of things; suppose you take a day of and try to realize few things. For what you know may have little to do with life, but what you realize enters into you
 You rise every day and go to work. You do and you do and you do: You admire the man who does things. You march and countermarch with the sidewalk army At night you go to bed tired. Yet you have not lived at all, you have only striven.
 Some day you will heaye a last sigh and quit for good. Then they will shovel you in. And what, if you please, will you have got out of 1t all?
 So take a day on and live. Begin with the dawn. Have you ever seen 1t, the slow paling of the sky into gray and then on through soft pink and hell iotropes and yellows. into light tri- umph7 Put your soul up against the dawn, not to study it scientifically, not in a purposeful way, but just to feel 1t, love 1t and try to understand 1t.
 Go away somewhere, to trees, the ocean. the river, moors and birds.
 Did you never imagine that life is good in itself, and quite apart from anything you may do with it7 Just existence is marvellous.
 Forget, for this day. all those petty precepts that advises you to improve the time, to give every flying moment to some useful task. to work while you rest, and the like. and live.

The future health of the child depends upon this.
 But try as you will there are times when the little one will become con stfpated and bilious. In hot weather immediate attention is necessary as many serious diseases result from stuffed-up bowels.

eovERnnEnr AND PRIVATE
BUSINESS.

Just now when the fiscal year of the government has closed 1t is with considerable pride that the announce nent tB made from Washington that the year has been successful one and that it gets by without a deficit, mean ing that the income has been sufficient to meet the expenses.
 This is the cause of much relief to those who have been directly connect ed with the financial end of the gov ernment. but under the existing meth cd of conducting the government s business such is always more or less of a chance There is little or no guide and there lis never likely to be until a budget system is adopted and put in operation With such in force this anxiety just previous to the close of the year would be greatly relieved and there would be some basis for advance knowledge of the conditions to be expected.
 The government figures of course simply show the result of the govern ments business, but from that can hardly be judged the condition of pri- vafe business. While the government seems to have obtained what was promised, such is not the situation with business in general. With that the story is the other way. The pol icy which has been adopted has not been such as to make the worixingnaan prosper. He has not seen the fulfill ment of the promises which were made to him for the reduction of the high cost of living Employment is cur Hailed and prices show no change. Business has fallen and dividends of biz corporations have been passed or seriously czzt- Thus while the govern meut figures from the administration policies show a balance on the right side there can be little satisfaction from the showing which the policies have produced throughout the country.

Goethals of Panama canal zone clear
ly explains and strongly sustains his
request that four topedo destroyers
be sent to Panama, Sec'y of War Gar
rison stated today the navy depart
ment will not be asked to order the
vessels south. A reply from Goethals
was expected today. His request has
not even been transmitted to the navy
department.
Establishment of naval patrol to
enforce shipping and neutrality laws
of the canal zone have been in con-
temptation for some time, officials de-
clared today. The comparative iso-
lation of the isthmus, as far as United
States war vessels and authority are
concerned, and the activity of Euro
pean belligerent vessels in adjacent
waters have led officials to consider a
naval neutrality guard. 1t is prob
able that eventually the action rec
commended by Goethals will be taken
and a squadron of fast destroyers or
gunboats will be assigned to isthmian
waters.
