GETTING A START.
TT'S NICE TO GET UP IN THE
MORNING"
By NATHANIEL c. FOWLER, JR.

Some of my readers probably have lis
tened to the songs of the world-famous
Harry Lauder. and particularly to one,
the chorus OF which begins. It's nice to
get up in the morning. but it's nicer to
lie in your bed"
Perhaps il is nicer to lie in your bed
nicer for the fellow who had forgotten
about yesterday, who has no thought for
today. and does not know that there is
to be any tomorrow: nicer for the man
who is no good to himself no good to his
employer. no good to the world: nicer
for the lazy fellow, the Indifferent. the
kicker. the Pathfinder. the chap who
does not realize that the most important
parsonage in the world to him is himself.
who does not feel that all the world. or.
rather. all his world. revolves around
his personality, and that he has a place
which no one else can occupy as he
should fill it.
| do not mean to say that every failure
is an ovcrsleeper. but I never knew
failure who did not love to oversleep.
Half-yes. / am inclined to think that
more than half-the men and women who
work. especially those who take suburban
trains or trolleys. remain in bed untif
the last moment. throw themselves into
their clothes. swallow their breakfasts
in a hurry. run to the car or station, and
enter their offices physically injured and
mentally tired. They do this when they
would have plenty of time IL they rose
fifteen minutes earlier.
Any attempt on your part to make up
for late nights by late mornings is going
to work to your physical and mental in
Jury. It cannot be done with impunity.
Go to bed fifteen minutes earlier instead
of getting up fifteen minutes later.
Hard work does not hurt any one. pro-
vided he is not physically incapacitated.
1t is rush and worry which undermine
the mental and physical constitutions.
Working steadily is not likely to be in
furious. Rushing is sure to be.
No one is prepared to do his best
work unless he has time for a bath. time
for dressing. time for his breakfast. and
time to catch his train.
For the sake of fifteen minutes more
sleep the majority of workers enter their
offices and factories unfit to render their
best service to themselves or to others.
OF course. You must have sufficient
sleep, but don't take it at the wrong
end Of the twenty-four hours. Get that
sleep al the start. Go to bed a little
earlier. Don't get up q little later. Late

To kill men, nations will spend thous-

remarkably and the per capita sum

SHE'S BEAUTIFUL, BUT STILL

Columbia, with all her beautiful
homes, her modern business houses
conducted on modern business prin-
ciples, her beautiful University and
college buildings, is the dirtiest little
town this side of Pittsburgh. That is
the sentiment often felt and frequent
ly expressed by girls who take out
of their vanity cases a looking glass
to see if their noses are shiny and
instead find either splotches of SCOT
or a streak of black.
The gentleman in arranging his tie
before entering wherever he intends
to enter, finds to his dismay that his
collar has also collected a wee bit of
soot-just enough, you know, to be
embarrassing. You've noticed how
much smoke and SCOT there is in the
air and how dirty the snow gets.
Where does all this come from in
town with no more large factories
than Columbia has?
Couldn't measures be taken to get
rid of some of this smoke and SCOT?

WAR FIGURES.

Some writer who delights in sta
tistics has found that 915,S00 or more
men have been killed outright thus
far in the war. The cost of five
months fighting by the European ma
tions is approximated at seven bill
lions of dollars. More than five
million men have been injured, lost
or captured.
From this it appears that it costs
about $1,000 to kill a man in modern

There in the marching ranks my two

Willing enough were they, not so will

Willing enough to go, ready if need to

FOR A BETTER PRISON.

The Missouri State Senate Com
mission, after two years spent in in
vestigation, reports eight reforms as
cures for penitentiary ills. The whole
tone of the report of the commission
reflects the social tendency of the age
-uplift.
Economy and social welfare are
well combined in the plans of the COM
mission for the improvement of the
state prison. While the convict is
being trained in farm work or trade
in the day, and attending night school
for personal training, he is making
profit for the state over the cost of
his Imprisonment.
The convict graduated after such
a course of practical and academic
training must necessarily reach the
world of freedom a better and more
useful man. He will not come forth
an anarchist against the established
order of society. The commissions
suggestions for the curing of mala-
dies of Missouri's prison system will
be presented to this session of the
legislature.

EFFICIENCY VS.. ALCOHOL.

The time was-not so far distant,
either,-when it was common to wit
ness the fight of alcohol VS.. efficiency.
In those days efficiency was hard
pressed to hold up under the burden
of alcohol. In one trade, at least, a
master-workman and a "Barleycorn"
breath were supposed to be insepara-
BILE.
Behold, a transition, and now it is
efficiency VS.. alcohol. Efficiency has
become the aggressor and alcohol,
though a hard fighter, is steadily los
ing ground. In the United States the
change has been taking place for
years. Alcohol and positions of re-
sponsibility do not mix well.
Russia startled the world and won
acclaim by her nationwide movement
favoring efficiency. Her drunk
budget" has vanished and the Cars
decision reflects the wishes of his
people. Other fighting nations wish
ing efficient soldiers have placed a
ban on intoxicants.
There are other antagonists to al
cohol-an overwhelming and increas-
ing number-but none more important
than efficiency. The more civilized a
nation becomes, the more necessity
for efficiency and the less chance for
alcohol.

New Troops on Ypres Limo
For some time 1t has been reported
that the French were slowly driving out

Of Arras and were, in the words Of an
officer just returned from the front,
punching a hole in the German line"
To stop this movement and also to re-

British accounts, were suffering very Sc
verely from British attacks and through
their own counter-attacks, the Germans
have despatched new troops to the
Arras-Ypres line and apparently are
making an effort to take the initiative
