moral right to withhold it from

Of making a profit. Yet there are

1t is not certain that such

Laughter as Necessary
to Us as Flowers Are
to Nature.

wit. humor. repartee have their
profitable part in life. The man
or book, or play, or recreation,
which makes us laugh in pure
glee gives US a tonic for mind
and body.
There is no system Of calisthen-
les so beneficial to health as the
habit of hearty. rib-shaking
laughter.
The laughing cure has been
advocated for all ills Of mind and
body. The patient is told to
stand before the mirror and force
laughing for ten minutes at
time.
1t is declared that this process
will drive away melancholy, cure
depression and put to rout all
nervous maladies arising from
over-sensitiveness and lack of
self confidence; and that hope
courage and ambition will soon
reorganize the disordered realm
of the mind and bring happy
train of helpers in their rear, in
Guiding health and success.
Therefore, any conversation or
occupation of time which causes
US to laugh at least once in the
day is 10 be commended.
It is even we'll to be frivolous
at times; to think and talk OF
light and superficial matters, such
as dress and fashion, and dane
ing and sports. Just as nature
does not give all her energies to
producing nourishment for her
creatures, but takes earth space
ia send forth flowers and plants
which have no practical use save
their beauty, 80 may our minds
be occupied at times with light
themes
But there are few Of us who do
not waste precious, precious, mo-
ments and still more precious
mind-stuff in what we know, If
we pause to think OF 1t, is I'M
profitable.
Have you not heard q whole
family Of intelligent beings use
fifteen golden moments in a
heated discussion regarding the
precise date on which some I'M
important event occurred?

Undoubtedly the extraction OF
radium is a very costly process at
the best. But It is perfectly GER
tain that the cost can be greatly
reduced. 1t is also certain that
this country is destined to be one
of the greatest producers Of ra-
dunn in the world, for in the
year 1912 it put forth three quar-
tiers of the entire product Of the
earth.

NOTES

Christiana, Nov. 5.-The Norwe-
eian press is making an almost unan-
!mous appeal to the government to
rescind the prohibition ordinance
which was passed in the first eX-
citement OF the war to stop the sale
of strong alcoholic beverages. Nomi-
nally 30 per cent of the Norwegian
people is represented in the mem
bcrship of "Teetotal Societies." and
next to Finland. Norway ordinarily
has the smallest per capita consump-
ton of alcohol in the world 1t is
the working classes who are almost
largely represented in the "teetota"
membership.
The appeal for resembling the pro-
hinition act is based primarily on as
sertions that after more than two
months of prohibition, prohibition
has not worked Persons who could
afford it have INDUCED extensively
in the Importation of strong liquors
viduals have combined to form "prf-
vate stock companies" and have
brought in thousands of gallons every
week. each person taking a keg or
two for private use. Among the
poorer classes complaint is made that
the prohibition law has created worse
conditions. prompting the concoction
of such weird drinks as self MUIR
der the name given to denatural-
lied alcohol Favored with oil of pep
permint, and the cheapest kinds of
4 ca lad
chemical products. which never saw
lgrapes.
The police reports in Christiana
show that the average number of
Iarrests for drunkenness has been
about the same as before the ordi-
nance was passed, and in the mean
time the government loses revenu1
Iof 100000 month. Outside 81
the Teetotai societies the demand for
resembling the new law has gained
lsuch Roadway that it is said the gov
lernment may meet 1t.
The government has already re-
scinded the special law forbidding
ldistillation of alcohol from potatoes.
This is ordinarily an extensive in
dustry in Norway, but at the out
break of the European war it was
thought necessary to stop it in order
to conserve the food supply AS a
matter of fact it was found that the
potatoes used for this distilling pro-
cess could not be kept long, there
not being enough frost proof cellars
for their storage. The breweries,
which had also been forbidden to
malt their barley. have recommended
their operations
