WN INE BLUFF ROG'RESS
 ROSPERITY
TRAITOROUS TALK.

The pro-German press i'll this coun- sentiment against the kaiser than do all other factors toward creating sen- iment for the allies. Read this from the Chicago Staats Zeitung:
 As4we stated bsfore the present note to Germany had been published, apparently our gove rnment had a sec ret agreement with England to force a break with Germany. We now have the text of the note at hand and it justiflss cur anticipation. Germany can never submit to the tone of it and will, as much as we are sorry for breaking off of diploma tic relations, We as well as the German govern ment know fully that with such a step she fulfills not only the wish Of his government but that of England and will create a very painful situa- ticn for Garman-American citizens. The note shows the president will break with Germany at all hazards. He should first ask the people of the United States if they are satisfied to be driven into war. The note is un- worthy of the republic. We hope Germany will not blame the people for the Presidents action.
 Not only is this language traitor ous, but such expressions tend to ere. ae false impression in Germany when communicated to that country just as did MT Bryan's resignation and his explanation thereof
 This declaration is on a par with That of the German bureau manager Weinschenck, who has been placed in an asylum at Washington. Vein cohenck declared in one of his bull ! lstins that the king of England IS the head of the Masonic fraternity and through the Masons is ruling America. Is it any wonder he was but an asylum?
 The trouble with the proGerman press appears to be that it is willing to make any statement, no matter how ridiculous, nor prejudicial to American interests, in the attempt to create sentiment for the kaiser. As usual, the violent language has the opposite effect.
 The surprising thing is that the government has not suppressed such publications. Public policy would justify such action. The kaiser would permit German paper te mske such an accusation IS the Chi cago Staats Zeitung makes agalns' the American government jast once Then that paper would cease publica- ton.

UNCLE SAM. MINES
 RADIUM CHEAPLY "
Secretary Lane Thinks Gov ernment Should Use It to
 Eradicate Cancer.

Washington, July 27.-Secretary ct the Interior Franklin K Lane an-
 nounced today that the production of
 radium from Colofado carnotita ores by the bureau of minss, in connection with the National Radlum institute has passed the eXperm antal stage I'll it's new proc ss and is now on sue cessful manufac turing basis. lie also declared that ths, statements made to congress concerning the ability of the bureau of mines to produce radlum al a grs atty decreased cost over other process s had actually ben accom- plished and that the costs were even less than predicted.
 sThe cost of one gram of radium
 metal produced in the form Of prom l ide during March, Apr.l and My of Ithe present year was $36,O50. l am | informed by Dr. Charles L. Parsons, in charge of the radium lnvestiSa- tions of the bureau. This includes the cost of or2, insurance, repairs.
 amc1,izstion allowance for plant and equipment, cost of Bureau of Mines cooperation, and all expenses incl dent to the production of high grade radium bromide. When you consider that radium has been selling for $120,0O0 and $160,000 a gram, you will
 see just whal the bureau Of mines has accomplished along these lines.
 "The cost Of producing radium Ill the small experimental plant during the first few months of the Bureaus activities was somewhat higher but not enough to seriously effect the final averag ge.
 "The public, however, should not infer that this low cost of production necessarily means an immediate drop ill the selling price of radum. The National Radiu1n institute was fortun- ate in securing through the Crucibla Steel company the right to mine ten claims Of carnotite ores belonging to them and this was practically the only ore available at the time Since then new deposits have been opened
 but these are closely held and ac-
 cording to the best judgment of the exports, e h1pl0yed by the .bureaus of
 mine the. Colorado and Utah fields, which are much richer in radium
 bearing ores than any others known, will supply ore for few years only
 at the rate of production that ob- tained when the European war closed down the, mines. The demand for radium will also increase rapidly, for the two Or three surgeons who have a sufficient amount of this ele-
 m nt to entitle them to speak from
 experience are obtaining results in
 the cure of cancer that are increas ingly encoura gin1g as their know ledge of it's application improves.
 Under all the circumstances that
 have come to my knowledge it does
 seem to me that it behooves the gov ernment tc make some arrangement whereby these deposits, so unique in their extent and their richness, may
 be cons served in the truest sense for
 our people, by extracting the radium from the ores where it now lies use
 less and putting it 10 work for the
 eradication of cancer in the hospitals of the army and navy and public ealth service.:'

BARNS WILL BULGE.

Farmers of the United States are on the eve of the most prosperous harvest ever known, and this pros perity will be enjoyed by the entire population. Big crops mean more money for everybody and cheaper food.
 The United States department of agriculture estimates three billion bushel corn crop, an oat crop of one and-alhalf billions bushels, and a wheat crop of one billion bushels. Record crops of rye, white and sweet potatoes, tobacco, rice and hay also are predicted for the prosperous farmers who have planted 310,546,oOo acres, or 1O0OO,OOO acres more than last year, to their principal products.
 The wheat crop, the greatest ever grown in any country, will be worth more than $1,O00,n0O,OO0, while the corn crops value may reach $2,5O0,- GOO ,OOO.
 Estimates for the principal crops, based on condition of August 1, show that all crops will be greater than last year. Interest centcred on wheat and corn. Both showed improvement over July conditions through excessive rains and cold weather in tha central states interfered with threshing. Oats also suffered in those states but In other sections the improvement more than offset this. .,..s
 Corn prospects increased almost 100 ,DOO, 900 bushels, the principal gains having been illinois 9O,oOo,o0O bushels; Kansas, 24,OoO,ooo; Oklahto-- ma, 26,OOO,OOO; Nebraska, 0,OOO; Iowa, ,14O00,OOO and Texas 1o,oOo,oOO' Kansas showed loss of 12,O0O,Ooo bushels in winter wheat; Oklahoma 6 ,OOO ,OOO; Nebraska, 100000 and Missouri S,oOo,Ooo, while Ohio and Indiana showed an increase of S,ooo,- 900 bushels each.

Why Joecph Was Sad,

,Forlorn little Joseph had called upon me with crumpied note which he re- luctantly dragged from pocket. It was from the admitting agent of an orphan age. explaining that Joseph could not be taken into the institution until his head was "cured;" and 1t gave some details regarding the family, the worthiness of the mother, and her ex. ceeding poverty. The agent hoped that might relieve her by expediting Joseph's admission. I tried to make the child's daily visit to me interest," Ing. The treatment was not painful, but the end of each visit-he came with patient regularity every day left me as dolorous as himself. Ono day tried. by promise of a present or any treat he fancied. to bring out some expression of youthful spirit all unavailingly.

It is question, parenthetically. whether 1t is truly sportsmaniike to live in a quaint old colonial cottage with furnace and electric lights. l have heard amateurs of the colonial declare that they would willingly die before they would live in an electrically lighted colonial cottage. The anach. ronis1n horrifies them: they would nave death or candles. Probably they tee1 the same way about a furnace and A bathroom. Yet have no doubt that the builders of this colonial cottage would have opened their hearts to all these inventions; and I am not sure f11t they would have regarded as anything but funny the idea that their own kitchen paraphernalia would some day be used to decorate my dining room. l go further. Granting that electric light, furnace. and a bath. room are anachronisms in this quaint old colonial cottage-what am l but an anachronism myself? We must stand together, the furnace, the cleo. trio meter, the porcelain bathtub. and l. and keep each other in countanance. -Sropo the Atlantic.

importance Of Work.


 A negative life Is wicked life. Someone has said mo angel ever ap. peared to a man who was not at work" You cannot make man good cy keeping him idle. T must be about my Fathers business" said Christ iL the temple. That is the gospel of ev' cry man who is loyal to his own soul. Is the comment of the Ohio State Jou11al. There is no excuse for Idle. ness. Work, like virtue. religion, faith. Is from witE!n. The impulse toward the right Is what Keeps man at work. and If he Is rut at work he lacks the impulse. His religion Is too weak to exert itself. A positive life is the only true life. Nor is mere s1trufsm the only form of work. It is as much s mans duty to help himself as 1t is to help others. so that help Is upbuilding which is the very condition of oDe's being benefit to others. A man who loves roses, sunsets, stars, creeks trees, birds, Is a friend of humanity. Loving Gods beautiful world includes man, or it is a false love. Not to love these creations of goodness and grace denotes negative life that ia positively wicked

person begins by limiting his food supply and thus, at the same time economizing his own health. For nearly everyone will agree, with Miss Annie S. Peck, the world famous mountain climber, who says that most people not only eat altogether too much, but the wrong kinds of food.
 Miss Peck as a mountain climber has had to make a study of her diet. While living in New York City, she has been highly successful in getting s,le greatest amount of. strength from the least amount of food at a cost of twenty-five cents a day. Some times she eats at a restaurant where she can get a small steak, potatoes bread, butter and coffee for twenty cents. But she does much of her own cooking. Buying her staple gro ceries in fairly large quantities, thus getting them much cheaper. Fruit cereal and coffee form her break : fast. A cake of milk chocolate, a banana or a dish of oatmeal with raisins in it she finds a satisfying luncheon. Her dinner she gets at a delicatessen shop where she says she can buy enough for fifteen cents to last two days. ,.5.
 Miss Peck has stated that on such a regimen she has kept i'll excellent trim and that she finds a generous

HAITI HAS AN ELECTION"

Haiti is a pest hole in the Carib. bean where revolutions are bred overnight, remarks an exchange. A man who had travelled good deal in those pest holes of revolt and who got back alive once told us that the only way those unfortunates can hold an election" is to start a revolution.
 Whoever gets in power becomes so firmly entrenched, grabs all the money and has the available army under his control, that the only way for the, opposition party ever to make any headway is to start something in the nature of a revolution" we're his words, in substance.
 That explains many of the revolu- tions we hear about. But when it comes to violating foreign embassies and killing foreigners, why that is a different matter. The innocent by stander must be protected.

supply of nuts, fruits and vegetables with little meat to vary the mo- notony of the vegetarian diet to be ideal for strength and endurance.
 A physician in Chicago sanita- rum has beaten Miss Peck as a conserver of health on limited diet: This. busy doctor, with much hard work to do, maintains perfect health and strength on two quarts ot i1lllk day-costing sixteen cents. Milk, of course, contains all the necessary food properties.
 But these, of course, are extr,fne examples. Most of us would not be willing to live according to the stand ards described, but they serve at least the purpose of pointing out t1at probably most of us eat too m,'ch. thus mourning unnecessary expense and inaicting injury to our health.
 Another growing extrayagance was noted by member of Chicago woman's club which is observing the
 signs of the times. This wo:11an brought up the topic at meeting of the club short time ago. She spoke of the one black silk dress our |grandmothers had in the days when thrift and economy were more ex. tensively practiced in this country' |of how it was kept year after year land worn only "for best" Then she spoke of her descendants, mary of |whom are distinctly less well off |whose wearing apparel is all of silk. At the conclusion of this practical talk many of the members of the club decided not only to enlist ill the thrift army, but to enroll their cliil. dren as we'll. For be it remembered that the hope, of thrifty nation to come lies in the children. Teach them thrift above all things else. As
 John Wanamaker once said: No boy ever became great as man who in his youth did not learn to save" Be thrifty in your everyday habits in little things-and if there are
 children in the home, above all things else teach them thrift.
