Teetotalism has new ally in the
fighting sheriff of Hudson County,
N. Y. Now kinkead has taken to
making rounds of the prisons and

stain forever from the use of intoxi-

MED that he is striking right at the
chief root of crime.
| What can one man do?" This is
often asked hopelessly. Well, one
man saw twenty-four years ago that
babies were being killed by being
fed on milk that gave them tubercu-
losis. or other infectious diseases. He
set about saving the lives Of the ba-
bias OF Manhattan by pasteurizing
milk for them Cheating it to kill the
germs) and he has supplied 39,OO0,00O
bottles of pasteurized milk at less
than cost, besides 21,60O,OO glasses of
pasteurized milk for the children
| playing in the parks and on the rec
1 ,reation piers. More than this, he has
convinced pretty nearly the whole
/ world that milk must be pasteurized
to make 1t safe as a food and this
i process is now required here and in
a number of other cities. And he has
/ cut in half the death rate among
babies in this city. OF course you
know his name, for who does not
know of the great work of Nathan
II Straus?

Ellhas written a searching volume on
Economic Aspects of the War"
from the strictly neutral and Ameri-
can point of view of the necessity of
vigorously maintaining all our neu-
trail rights against all belligerents
He points out the menace to the fu-
ture OF supinely permitting the estab-
lishment of presidents "all tending
toward the one conclusion that the ma
ton dominant in sea power may adopt
In restraint of commerce any measure
1t sees fit"
He instances Great Britain's seizure
within eleven months of 1000 vessels
with American cargoes, and he points
out that while cotton has been the
chief sufferer this year, because Rus
sian wheat happened to be bottled up,
1t may be wheat next time. Here is
something for the American farmers
to think about.
The World" which cannot be ac-
cused of any proGerman bias, is stir
,erd by the facts disclosed as to Great
Britain exporting six times as much
American cotton as usual, as noted in
these letters. The World" says sit
Is something new in belligerent enter
prise to harass the trade of friendly
nation on the plea of necessity and
then seize upon the opportunity to
supply the demand thus created Proof
of some such desperate brokerage as
this was all that was needed to place
the socalled British blockade wholly
beyond the pale of law and right"
There Is really no use trying to
emancipate woman from her bondage.
Numbers of them have heroically dis
carded their corsets on the plea that
this armor cramped, confined and
weakened their bodies, but here
comes the U. S. Public Health Ser
vice, after studying the physical condi-
ton OF 5000 New York women gar
ment workers, declaring that the cor
set is a protection, help to good
pastures, restraint against the
slump" that is as unhygienic as it
Is ugly. even though it was recently
proclaimed fashionable.

The release Of the American-owned
goods still held in Rotterdam by vir-
tue OF the British orders in council is
l,still vexing New York importing cir
cles and driving the owners of the
goods closer to the wall, while
the State Department optimistically
counts upon securing their release
by informal" negotiations with
Great Britain.
But nothing has occurred to justify
such hopes, for England has several
times repudiated rumors similar to
those set afloat this week and shows
no sign OF modifying her orders in
council. There Is growing insis-
tence upon the duty Of the state de
partment to deal more vigorously with
the illegal Instructions put in the way
of the transportation of American
goods.
To make up the numbers Of passen-
gers carried on the subway and ele-
waited lines of one company in this
city in the year ending June 80, every
man, woman and child in the United
States would have to take seven rides.
Is it any wonder that the Interborogh

How many cities are there that
