All river men seem to be a unit in
the belief that the future freight traffic
of the Mississippi will be handled by
barge. They disagree as to whether
these barges will run as single units
under their own power or operated in
groups of twos. Opinion, l find, is
about evenly divided, with the older
type Of river men favoring the group
proposition and the newer arrival pre-
ferring the unit barge. But they all
realize that this is simply a detail of
operation that will work itself out in

Protests from Women.

The vein Of sarcasm or levity,
which some papers use in referring
to the delegations of women, who
make protests to the President,
against war, are in poor taste and
certainly untimely, when women who
have absolutely no voice in the af-
fairs of the nations are carrying SO
large a share Of the burdens of the
war. The mothers and wives are the
ones who suffer most, no matter how
much care is taken to shield them.
The men on the battlehelds in the
rush and excitement have little to
think or be lonesome, or worry, they
are inspired by the noise and the
glamour of the fight, if they die, they
win 4 crown of glory accorded to
every soldier or sailor who loses his
life in the service of his country.
But what of his wife, his mother,
his children? They may have suffer
ed ten fold the sacrifices and endured
mental, if not bodily privations I'M
told, yet no glory is attached to their

A Black Record.

/ Tubefculosis In all its forms car
ried OIL during the year 1913 more
than $4,000 victims in the United
States, which signifies the presence
Of approximately 100000 consump-
tives with an economic loss of at
least S214,5000O0 year, according
to a report made by the president of
the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis, Dr.. George NJ. Kober of Wash
ington, d. C., at the annual meeting
OF the Association at Seattle.
Grave as this problem of disease is
DR.. Kober has reason for hopeful
ness. However black the record of
the white plague, it has been worse.
The death rate from this disease
has been reduced from 926 per 1907
600 population in 1880 to 1866 in
1918, whick- means that if the former
rate had been continued the number
of deaths from this cause would have
been 322,027. instead of $4,000 in
1913, equivalent to saving of 49,
or in one year. While much has
been achieved more remains to be
done in the prevention of the direct
and predisposing causes.
Among the recommendations for
immediate action on the part of the
National Association, DR.. Kober
made the following:
All milk, unless derived from tu-
berculin tested animals, should be
pasteurized or scalded
Building regulations should be so
modified as to prohibit the renting of
houses unfit for human habitation
Because nearly one-half of the 49,
900 deaths from tuberculosis in 1913 |
occurred among the industrial work
ers who constitute about one-third |
of the population, the enactment and |
of laws for the removal
Of dust and fumes. the foes of indus

The Mole.

The most courageous of all living
things is, by common consent of nat
uralists, the mole. Seemingly without
any sense of fear whatever, the mole
will fight anything that crosses its
path Neithsf giving nor asking quar-
ter, it tears away at its adversary un-
ill it kills it or is itself killed. The
mole's appetite is in keeping with its
courage, and it thinks nothing of eat
ing its own weight Ill appetite the
spider is close second to the mole,
but when it comes to fighting the mole
