DIPLOMATIC MIR. THOMPSON.

When you're in Rome, pat the Ro-
mans on the back. Donald Thomp-
son, who has been busy taking snap
shots in all the fields of the European
war, expresses astonishment at the ex-
cellent condition of the Russian army.
He declares that the Cossack cavalry
outclasses any he has seen in Europe,
and that the artillery is as good as
that of the French. And on previous
occasions Donald has been just as full
some with his praise of each of the
armies in the great conflict when he
has been in touch with them. In 9TH
err words, Thompson is not only dar-
ing photographer of crack-a-jack pro-
portions, but he is also an exceedingly
clever diplomat

TYPHUS IN SERBIA.

Typhus fever in Poland and Serbia
has developed under the favoring in
fluences of war into an epidemic
which may require the services of the
worlds greatest sanitarians before it
is checked. A number of American
Red Cross physicians and nurses and
numerous European physicians have
died while at work in the affected
countries In such epidemics the NOR
tality of the disease may reach so per
cent. Physicians everywhere should
be prepared to recognize it, not only
in its severe forms, but also in the
mild forms which are not infrequent
in many American cities. The recent
developments in our knowledge of the
etiology and transmission of this dis
ease have been largely due to Ameri-
can Investigations. Its mode of trans
mission has been worked out so that
we are able to take reasonably eff
cient measures for it's prevention
The disease is communicated by the
body louise and probably also by the
head louise. This fact explains the de-
crease of the danger of infection when
the patient was removed to a hospital
and the great danger to attendants in
epidemics. Typhus fever formerly
was prevalent in epidemics, being
known under the names of jaiI fever.

In the United States the disease has

FARMERS AND CAR SHORTAGE.


Because a shortage of freight cars
NAV at certain seasons, mean to the
farmer a total loss of his years LABOR
the importance of his insisting upon
more stringent regulations to prevent
the unnecessary detention of cars py
shippers is pointed out in new publ
cation of the federal department OF
agriculture, "Demurrage Information
for Farmers At the present time
some of the state demurrage cooes
contain provisions apparently designed
TO give the farmer special concessions.
Such privileges, says the bulletin, are
far from being a real advantage. Inc
man who is backward in loading or
unloading the freight car ne mas or
dered contributes just that much TO
increase the shortage throughout the
country from which the FARMER Is
likely to suffer more than any otner
business man. If the farmer is will
ing to waive all concessions maze III
his favor, he is in better position to
demand the abolition of all conses-
sions made in favor of others. This,
the bulletin points out, is the best way
of minimizing car detention and the
evils that arise from it,. At the pres
ent time code of national car de-
murrage rules is applied on interstate
business throughout practically the
entire United States. In it's broadest
outlines, this code entities the rail-
roads to collect from shippers 81
day for each car that they keep wait
ing after the lapse of a certain specl-
fed free time Every since the rail-
roads first began in 1887 to collect
demurrage, this charge has met with
considerable opposition from business
interests throughout the country. AS
a matter of fact says the bulletin II
is the business interests that benefit
the most by it. The railroads would
gladly forego the insignificant revenue
that this charge brings in to them II
they could obtain in return, the 1mme-
date release of their cars. From the
shippers point of view, the unneces-
sary detention of one car by one man
helps to increase the difficulty that all
the others experience in securing
proper transportation facilities From
this point of view, therefore, the de-
charge is really fine i'm

protection against business selfishness.

HOW TO MAKE LIFE WORTH
LIVING

How 10 make lives worth living? -
The question haunts us every day:
1t colors the first blush of sunrise,
1t deepens the twilight's last ray.
There is nothing that brings us drear-
ier pain
Than the thought, I'VE have lived. we
are living in vain
We need each and all to be needed
To feel We have something to give
Towards soothing the moan OF
earth's hunger;
And we know that then only we
live,
And we feed one another as we have
been fed
From the hand that gives body and
spirit their bread.
Our lives. they are we'll worth the
living
When we lose our small selves or
the whole,
And feel the strong surges of being
Throb through us, one heart and
one soul.
Eternity bears up each honest en-.
deaVor;
The life lost for love is life saved for.
