TIE HoRnapAY PLAN.

TE= following editorial from the
Burlington EawkEye refers to a
brother o. The late c. A Hornaday OF
this city
Oaz O. the good things that have
been brought 20 the attention of the
public OF late, is the plan outlined by
" 7 Eoruaday. who would have the
forest preserves turned into game
preserves II is pointed out that
there Is practically no game in most
OF these preserves now, and that they
could support very many wild animals.
The plan Is to be submitted to con-
gress- and If the people take favorable
view no doubt the members OF that
into q law that viii ss-Ta the T1--
pose.
Let It be borne N mind that the
principal object IS NOT TO bs1e5- tie
sportsmen. who have Gene 10 tsIfsTs
that all the Wild game In tie land 6
their property, to which 10 one else
has any rights. Mr. HoruztzF eupEz-
sizes the fact that the meat supply
Of the country could be supplemented
IN this manner, and that many who
never get 4 taste Of game now, could
be supplied now and then, II all these
great reservations were teeming with
wild game. which would be looked
after by government employees.
AS there IS no game IN these reser-
vatfons now, Il fg not to be appre-
hended that the sportsmen or any
other class Of people viii object to
Mr.. Hornaday's plan. The fact that
he is an expert, and not merely man
of theories. vouches for the fact that
the plan is practical. II ought to have
the unanimous support Of the people.
and in that event Il Will be enacted
into the right kind OF legtsiat.ons in
the near future. It is simply making
use of an opportunity that ought not
to be neglected.

COULD GIVE MANY
MEN FOR SOLDIERS
Iowa's Fighting Strength Would Be
355, 724 In Case War Should
Como Up.

Iowa can furnish an army OF 1897
abIe-bodied men between the ages Of
81 and As, according to an estimate
made by state officials based on par
tfal reports received by Adg. Gen. Guy
Logan, from county auditors.
The reports indicate there has been
an increase Of 10 percent in the past
year in the number Of men OF mill
tary age In the state. In 1914 the
auditors reported 321,5Ss men between
21 and As years Of age. A 10 percent
increase means 32,156 additional men
who could be called out for military
service.
Polk county could supply 10000
men OF military age, the report to the
state shows. This would make an
army of about seven regiments. In
1914 Polk county had but 1926 men
subject to military duty.
The county auditors are required TO
report annually to the adjutant gen.
eral, giving the name and address OF
every man between the age of 81 and
45. Thirty-one counties have report
ed. Sixty-e,ght reports are delinquent.
The reports received show 1888
men of military age in thirty-one coun-
ties. Last year the same counties
had 1O6,13s men Of that class. This
ts a 10 percent increase. The same
ratio carried out for the entire state
would give Iowa 353,724 men liable to
military duty.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16-With Min
lister to Belgium Brand Whitlock now
on his way home, friends of President
Wilson were earnestly discussing to-
day the possibility of naming him "a
a running mate for Wilson.
They protested to see in him an
ideal burden bearer" of the campaign.
The president has announced he
will not campaign. He has intfmated
that the issue on which the party will
go before the people, is preparedness.
II Whitlock, direct from the scenes of
devastation of nation not prepared.
Is complete supporter of the pre-
paredness program, the presidents ad-
|visors believe he would be an ideal
man for the vice presidential nominee
He would do the campaigning, they
figure, and be a great asset.
Moreover, democratic leaders be-
.lieve the party would capture the pro-
sressiye party voters If Wilson has a
running mate OF radically progressive
views.

EFFECT OF cleARsTs.

Dr. John Altman of Rochester. y.
Y, gives in the New York Medical
Journal the results OF his experiments
to determine the effect on the circUla-
ton OF smoking. Like numerous 9TH
Ter experiments of the kind conducted
In the past, these OF Dr. Altman are
productive OF no definite conclusions
which the experiment feels able to
assert with confidence.
But while admitting that in the face
Of conflicting opinions I'VE can see
how far we are from definite conclus-
ions as to the true effects OF tobacco"
he suggests that the great increase in
Icfrculatory diseases during the last
100 years may be attributed to smok-
Ing.
The effect on the pulse of smoking
but one cfgaret was marked" writes
DR.. Altman, sixteen out Of twenty
seven subjects showing an increase of
more than eight beats a minute. In
some cases the rise was spectacular
and came on in one or two minutes,
or almost as soon as the pulse was
taken. OF the twenty-seven cases all
gave an increase except four. and two
OF the four had an abnormally high
pulse at the start.
"Other investigators have reported
rise in blood pressure, but in this
series the effects on the pressure
were not at all uniform. Out of TWEEN.
ty-tive cases the systolic pressure fell
in twelve, in FIVE there was an in.
crease, and eight gave no change.
"The results show that cigarets
often dc cause marked rise in pulse.
make the pulse irregular. and cause
change IN blood pressure. the effects
being more marked II the smoke is
inhaled"

rsAeEs ARE NOT REALLY WISE"

"sAGEs ARE NOT REALLY WISE"
Sages are not really wise
Till they read in Folly's eyes
Lore that puts to rout their rules,
Wisdom that escapes the schools.
Tell me, Sages, what love is!
Silent? But what fool would miss
Kiss or laughter glance or sigh,
Waiting for your slow reply?
Sages, tell me what is life?
While you prate Of 10y" and Strife, -
humble, definitions give
Fools like me rejoice to live!
While you labor, dig and seek.
Dull of eye and gray of cheek;
While you study, delve, explain,
Define, examine, think, refrain.
Ponder on the meaning of
Life and death and joy and love,
Laws discover, reasons frame,
We fools are playing at the game.
Seers and sages are not wise,
Lacking wisdom to revise
All they've learned and taught In
schools
BY the laughter Of us fools.
