A NeW Year Opportunity to
Restore National Prosperity

| in any year since 1880, when the
country had only one-half of its pres
ent population and less than one-half
the average annual new mileage built
in any year since 1880
The very men who are decrying rail
roads and constantly fighting them
could not be tempted to invest their
money in railroad securities under
such conditions. But the interstate
commerce commission in its recent
decision has given some indication
| that it is beginning to see a new light
and beginning to recognize that it is
not wise policy to destroy the rail
roads. There is much of hope in that
reversal Of all its former policies. 1t
commission are not so absolutely
bound by precedent as not to be will
ing to reverse themselves to save the
railroads Of the country from ruin.
This change of position by the in
terstate commerce commission and
the opening OF the new year might be
used as an opportune occasion for all
in authority in Washington and in
state governments to be willing, if
necessary to reverse former policies
and to set forth the view that 1t Is
time for the ten year war upon bust
ness. from which we have been suf-
fering. to cease. 1t should be pro
claimed everywhere that our condi-
ton is not due to the European war,
but existed to large extent before
the war, and, disregarding the mouth
ings OF the ranters who live by con
tinual agitation, make broad and
sweeping proclamations that the
whole power of the national and state
administrations will be concentrated
upon the upbulding of business, and
that every effort will be made to co
operate with the business men of the
country in reviving our business in
terests and in restoring general pros
perity.
1t is within his power, by reason of
his position as the head of this great
nation, for President Wilson to take
the lead in a work of almost limitless
potentialities for good by calling the
country back to stnity of thinking and
acting and to an enthusiastic coop
GRAFTON with the business forces in
leading this nation out of the pow
erty of the present to that broad
prosperity to which we are rightly
entitled.
Others would quickly follow.
We looked with horror upon Eu-
ropes awful war, but we have had a
ten-year war upon business which
should be stopped to the everlasting
gratitude of the people of the cOun-
try, to the rescuing of hundreds of
thousands from the deepest poverty
and the direst suffering, and to the
saving Of thousands from death by
reason of poverty.
The only war we should now have
is a war upon the war against bust
ness.

NATIONAL CHAIRMAN HlNSHAW
SAYS FIVE MILLION SlGNERS
WILL BE NEEDED.

Topeka, Ka1, Jan ? 1T is the
duty of the intercollegiate Prohibi.
ton Association to force the prohibi-
tion issue, Virgil b. Hinshaw. national
chairman of the prohibition party,
tonight told that organization in con.
yention here.
Others may dream and prophesy
but it is our duty to go down into
The field of practical politics and
compel the attention of the Ameri-
can electorate upon this question as
the one and central prohibition for

who will sign an enrolment pledge,
and to do that we need to get 300 col
lege young men and women who viii
work for army wages of $25 a month
and travelling expenses until each has
secured 1866 enrollments."
Prohibition, Mr.. Hinshaw declared,
may be divided into two stages, the
educational and the militant
I'VE are just now in the very heart
of the militant stage" he continued.
Better might l say we are in the
closing hours. The very air we
breathe is dynamic, charged with the
widows hate, the orphans cry. Let
red-blooded young men and women
attending this conference talk of war
and miitarism. the war of ballots and
the militarism OF politics. We have
the power to set aflame not only the
American conscience but the consci-
ence of the world.
AS both Mr.. Wilson and Mr., Bryan
have said, if prohibition is the issue
in the 1915 campaign it will obscure
everything else. That is why they
both fear it, but there are enough
men and women who do not fear it
but who embrace it and who are de-
termined to work for it until the great

DAY OF THE QUILL Pen,
When Writing Paper Was Poor and
Envelopes We're Unknown.

When Writing Paper Was Poor and
Envelopes Wore Unknown.
The constant mending required by
quill pens must have proved a severe
trial in the days when no others were
available, says the London Chronicle.
Alexander l. of Russia thought it nee
essary to employ a man whose sole
duty consisted in cutting pens. He
was required to have a supply of not
less than 100 quilts always ready.
This number was by no means ex-
cessive. for Alexander would never use
the same pen twice. Even the writing
Of a signature spoiled a pen, in his
opinion. for subsequent use. The quill
cutter. who received a salary of f34O
a year, accompanied the car on all his
journeys, including campaigns against
Napoleon.
Writing implements changed consid-
erably for the better during Sir Wal
ter Gilbey's long spell Of life. Though
quill pens are still in use," he remarks
in his "Recollections Of Seventy Years."
II remember the time when one sell
dom saw any other kind. Steel pens
in their early days were expensive and
i'll made, and few people used them.
The paper we had seventy years ago
may have been partly to blame. 1t
had neither the substance nor the sur
face we take as a matter Of urs
nowadays. -
Il remember when envelopes came
into use, and what a boon they were
considered after the old system Of clos
ing letters with waters or wax. Be-
fore envelopes were invented letters
were always written with an eye to
the position of the wafer or seal, a
blank space being left to correspond
with the space where this would be
put on the outside, lest the written
portion should be torn in opening

FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
December 29-Elizabeth of Rouman;a
BY MARY MARSHALL

Queen Elizabeth of Roumnaia,
known the world over under her pen
name Carmen Sylvia, was born on De-
cember % 1915. She was the daugh-
ter of Prince Hermann, OF Neuwied
and she met her future husband in
Berlin. She was married when she
was 10 and eight years later, her only
.hIld. a daughter, died in infancy.
Queen Elizabeth devoted her time
to letters and to nursing. In the
awful sso-Turkish war she worked
among the wounded. where her gen.
tleness and capability earned for her
the deepest love of the soldiers; and
Its was then that she established the
Order of Elizabeth. with its emblem
of a gold cross on a blue ground. to
reward those who had done distin-
guished work as nurses.
Elizabeth was much interested in
the higher education of women in
Roumania and in many charitable
works. She gained real distinction
as a pianist and organist. a singer
and painter. But her greatest fame
came to her because of her writing.
She wrote plays and novels and poems.
and she gathered and put into literary
form many of the Legends current
among the peasants of her husbands
kingdom. She wrote in German,
French, Roumanian and English. and
her works were translated into the
other principal languages of Europe.
Queen Elizabeth has always been
noted for her charm of manner. and
her democracy is illustrated by the
fact that she undertook some literary
work in collaboration with one of
her maids of honor.

VIII soon bring about a delightful change.
Over development. especially Of fat
through the hips and abdomen, must be
rig:dly guarded against. To the critical
eye OF an artist, an ounce of superfluous
flesh is a positive deformity. The large
abdomen seen SO commonly in men and
women at middle life means that the
center Of gravity is changed. and the only
way In which an easy position can be
maintained is to throw the body back
ward at the top. This necessarily re-
suits In straining the ligaments Of the
back and neck. A distressingly ugly hol-
low at the small of the back invariably
follows. A good deal Of work il needed
to correct this condition. In additicn to
daily gymnastics. an abdominal SUPPORT,
made to individual measure. has been,
found most helpful in reducing these
parts to their normal size.
