The defeat OF Joseph l.. Bristow for

spite or the free-listinG of vessels, at
the outbreak of hostilities In Europe
the United States found herself with
out merchant vessels. No one had
taken advantage of the free list pro-
vision.
Wages is the real bar to a merchant
marine, says Furuseth. The way to
remedy II, it is declared, is to pass
the seamen's bill, which abolishes ar
rest for desertion OF sailors. This, he
says, would raise the worlds sailors
wages TO the American standard, and
there would no longer be any reason
Why American vessel owners should
register their ships under foreign flags.
Government Manufacture Of Radium.
AS the result OF the war 4 new
branch of healing-the cure OF cancer
with radium-fnds itself seriously
hampered. Germany is the largest re-
finer of radium from ores of any coun-
try, and the American hospitals and
doctors have been relying upon Ger
many to supply this new precious and
wonderful healing agency. The war
has absolutely stopped the export of
radium from Germany, and there is
sure to be a radium shortage through
out the earth. At the moment hope Is
held out to cancer victims it Is
snatched away by the war god.
The result is an agitation in Wash
ington for a government-owned radi-
UNI plant. America is the largest pro-
Queer of radium-producing ores, and
there is no reason why the govern
ment should not undertake the extrac-
ton of the wonderful commodity. 1t
will be impossible to ship any more
radium ore to Germany for possibly
many months. Representative Foster
of Illinois has bill providing for the
government manufacture of radium,
and house members are urging that it
be passed as an emergency measure.

POTATO HILL PHILOSOPHY


The education of many people. in
spite of our boosted free educational
system, amounts to no more than
ability TO read and mispronounce
many of the words.
A good talking to" never does a
man any good. Good advice a man
looks upon as Quitting in" or critic
ism.
Extravaganza in thought is as bad
as extravaganza in living expenses.
No man can diet if his women
folks love him; they are continually
saying this or that will not hurt
him; and the result is that he eats
more than ever.
Business shrewdness is so often
business meanness.
Age comes on as imperceptibly as
a cake of soap disappears; but finally
the cake of soap disappears.

Hints to the Young.

You cannot make the weather warm
BY kicking like a steer;
You cannot stop the raging storm
b. getting on your ear:
You never can improve your case
BY letting gloom o'erspread your facs
And grumblinS never helped to chase
Away q foolish fear.
You cannot make your spirit clean
BY delving into slime:
You cannot make a hateful scene,
BY fretting. seem sublime:
II never helps 10 sit and bawl
About your bruises when you fall:
To butt your head against a wall
Is but a waste OF time.

American tourists who are abroad

majority will probably have no ex-
treme difficulty in remaining outside

Debt.

Debt is the one thing which goes
contrary to the laws of nature, because
you can contract and expand it at the
same time. Nothing exceeds like debt.
Every one is always in debt to some
one else. Every debtor is creditor,
every creditor is debtor. There be-
ing no clearing house of humanity the
thing goes on from day TO day, getting
more complicated. Everybody starts
by owing the government his part of
the interest on the national debt. AS
this is increasing all the time, the IA
tai habit some people have of putting
off the day of their birth counts against
them. Debt is poor sleeping compan-
ion. He won't stay hitched. If you
put him off in a room by himself and
draw down the blinds he always breaks
loose and interrupts you just when you
are beginning to enjoy yourself. If
you fail to pay his board and lodging
he grows larger and eats more. And
what a witless companion he is!-Life.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

To prevent dishes slipping when
cooling in the refrigerator, take two
or three discarded fruit jar rubbers
and place them on an irregular piece
of ice. The dishes may rest on these
rubbers in perfect safety.
In custards. in cooked salad dress
ings, Welsh rabbit, and in all recipes
depending on eggs alone for thicken-
ing, a little flour adds to the dish.
DO not throw away skewer-either
the metal or wooden kind. The metal
ones are excellent for turning broiling
steaks and chops (making only one
puncture. where a fork makes two)-
also for lifting boiled and roasted po-
