Not All One-Sided
Boston Post.

It is well for our citizens including especially those of German extraction, to. understand thats the furnishing of munitions of war to the battling na- tions of Europe by United States man ufacturers is not all one-sided, by any means.
 Take the case of the sales of the Bethlehem Steel company. It is au- thoritatively stated that a large part of that company's earnings for 1913 and for the first part of 1914 came from Germany, which country took more than half of the Bethlehem's output before the outbreak of the war. ssSo far, says the Boston News Bureau iii commenting upon this fact, more BethleheIn shells have been fired by Germany into the ranks of the enemy than the allies have fired into the ranks of the Gernlans
 There are several reasons why the German outcry against the selling of arms and other munitions of war to the allies has no basis of logic or cons sistency. The one just explained is

Running the Family. (Norwich Record.)

There are two scales of living cost on which one can run a family. One scale is based in indiscriminate, hap hazard buying. running into the first store and buying the first thing of- fered without making any effort to compare goods and prices. No busl- ness man can run factory in that way and family must either go into debt or go without many things It might just as we'll have. The other way to run family is to watch the market, the offerings that the deal- CTS are making in the newspapers. The family that keeps careful watch in this manner should be able to re- duce it's living costs from 25 to 90 per cent. For the great majority of such families this advice is needless as they already watch the newspaper advertising as closely, if not closer than they do the daily news but some families who growl about the cost of living have a good deal to learn ln this respect.

A Cure For Leprosy.
tWaterbury Democrat.

Dr. Mercade of the Philippines an- nounces that he has found cure for leprosy and discharged twenty three patients absolutely well. The chief element in the cure appears to be an essence obtained from the Indian plum tree, and called chaulmooga oil. It is not new drug, and in fact has been used before for this malady, though considered mere pallia- tive rather than specific remedy. 1t seems likely that the hygenic treat ment accompanying the use of the oil has as much to do with the cure as the medicine has. Many medical Investigators have declared that leprosy is neither so incurable nor so ntagious as popular opinion has always held It may be that the ailment called leprosy which prevail ed in ancient times in Egypt and Paa-

2 PROSPERITY.

Because of the extraordinary
 actions, of war the countries m Eu- rope are now facing a serious asli- cultural situation. Orders have gone forth in some lands for the curtail- ment of all things that go to mahe up the luxuries of life and the people are living on the bare necessaries.
 The condition abroad, in all its shadows and darkness. goes to bring K into reIisf the wonderful prosperity that has been, attendant upon this country for the past three or four years and which. we are told by the experts, will reach its zenith at the close of the present season.
 Nature has been exceedingly gra- cious to these United States of Amer ica We have everything here tho heart could wish for. everything that goes to make life worth while. Ac- cording to latest estimates of the De- partment of Agriculture we will come out of the year 1915 with the biggest bulk of satiety ever known on the face of the globe Our wheat crop will be the biggest in history, l. 000.- O00.000 bushels strong. Our corn will run close to the 5000, 1000. 900 mark. There Is prosperity in it's Sunday clothes. Oats. barley and other cer- calls will show like proportions m their gains over previous years it is, believed.
 With this extraordinary large crop of the principal staples the United States can feed the world and still take care of it's own people This only goes to show what can be done in time of need. There are yet vast tracts of land i'll the arid West which have never been put under cni- +tivation. With proper Irrigation these lands could be turned into beautiful farms and the billion busllel wheat crop which is the marvel of the age would fade into insignificance.
 No one knows how long the war abroad Is going to last. or course, there will come time when it would be foolish to raise such large crops Us are being put forth in this country at the present time. When Europe set ties again to the normal life, when men are blowing the fields of the old world instead of destroying and pillaging the land then will American
 
 commodities be curtailed, and busi- ness seek it's regular channel. But with all ti1atewe cannot help evincing a feeling of pride for. the wonderful land that is ours. We have every thing in the world right here in ths United States. Why prattle of other lands? K

Mr. Bryan's verbal altercation with an old friend, a clergyman, at hotel in Asheville, N. C.. has been greatly exaggerated in the rep orts, or it is evil dence that MT.

Students Who Earn Their Way
GSouth Norwalk Sentinel.)

@NSOuCn NOrWalk SenL1n0l.) A
 University of Chicago students earned last year. through jobs sup phed by the university employment bureau, the respectable sum of $14s,- olo. And that's only part of the story. There may have been just as nucn earned by students who ob- talned work through their own efforts
 The wage-earning activities of tine stuaents embraced every trade and profession. Some of them earned tnelr college expenses as mu- slcians or entertainers at receptions. dances and theaters. Others did nouseWork and cooking-about Sl5,- UoO worth. Men with political incl1n- auons worked at the polls on election day. Among the various men ana glrls paying their. own way were pookkeepers, chauffeurs, clerks. cashiers, elevated conductors. janl- tors, messengers, actors, truckmen, saiesmen, models, advertising soilcl- tors, teachers, stenographers and typ lsts, telephone operators, carpenters, plumbers, paper hangers, barpers, transiaters, tutors, ushers walters ano others less easily classified Altogeth- CT the employment bureau found re- munerative work for 1,17o tudents.
 1t Is an impressive fact that so many students were able to earn money to pay for their education. That is one of the advantages or at tending college in a big city. It IS still more impressive that they were not ashamed of doing any honest work, with either their heads or their hands, in the pursuit of learning. That ic, n, American colleges.
 In an English university student. however poor. doesn't dare to soil his hands in "menial work" or even to work for money in any way, to pay his college expenses. He must be gentleman which is to say, he must be non- producer; he must let the serving classes do whatevei work has to be done. Merely by can wasting for books in vacation he would lose caste. In his college town if he goes to store and buys a pair of socks, he doesn't dare carry the parcel home himself It isn't done.
 There is no such snobbery in any American college The most hopeful thing about American higher educa- tion is it's genuine spirit of democracy which permits the student who waits on table for his fellow students to mingle with them socially on terms of complete equality.
 Such system is a guarantee that the nations democratic ideals will be safely carried on by the men and wo- men destined to furnish most of our future leaders of public opinion. It is a guarantee, too, that the students will not wander in mazes of imprac- ~ tical theory and dreams. Working for his living in the active world dur ing his college course keeps stu den's feet planted firmly on tae ground and helps to strengthen and equip him for real life.
