New Year Resolutions are Sug-
gested by Pennsylvania
i Health Commissioner.

HARRISBURG, Dec. 25.--With the
advent Of the season for resolving to
turn over new leaves and the like, DR..
Samuel G. Dixon, the state, commits
sioner OF health, embraces the oppor-
tunity to urge upon the public to sslow
up" bit in everyday life. Doctor
Dixon has uttered such advice before.
He believes that If the rapid pace
of American life can be toned down
moderately 1t will mean much for the
next and later generation. He calls
for casting away the prevalent excuse
of ~ haven't time" which he, uses as
the title for this weeks Little Talk
on Health and Hygiene" saying:
The season for good resolutions is
approaching. Within fortnight thou
sands of men and women will have
resolved to begin the new year with
definite purpose of looping off some
bad habit or commencing some effort
at self Improvement.
Human happiness so largely de-
ponds upon health that many of these
resolutions will center upon condi-
tons relating to personal welfare. 1t
is not so difficult in this age OF self
education to analyze our habits and
discover where our weaknesses lie.
Neither is 1t beyond the majority OF
US to plan a sensible course which II
adhered to would bring about improve
ment. The task lies in adhering to

Leaders to Establish Residence
in Western States to Vote
for President.

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-If the men
of the East don't want their mothers,
wives and daughters to become poll
teal fioaters they had better hurry
up and put their states on the suf-
frage map. Otherwise, the fireside
will be left unto them desolate when
ever general election comes around.
For movement is on foot, headed
by Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch, for
the suffragists of the non-voting
states to qualify as voters in
the more civilized West, and IL It
grows as It is expected to grow, there
will be an exodus OF women from
New York, Pennsylvania and the rest
of these short-sighter states about the
first of November every four years
that will make the through trains
look like delegation to q suffrage
convention.
1t will also make the tax gather
chs receipts in the East look con-
siderably smaller, for taxes on per-
sonal property are paid where the
legal residence is established. There
are good many suffragists whose
personal possessions are not incon-
siderable. The leaders of this move
ment figure that New York state
would not like to have Mrs. H. P.
Belmont, for example, paying taxes
on her stocks and bonds in Idaho or
Kansas instead OF in New York.
Mrs. Belmont, who is in Washing
ton. hasn't off1cially joined the float
er ranks, but she is a keen hacker
of the Congressional Unions policy of
using the woman voters OF the West
as a means of forcing a suffrage
amendment through Congress. and
she is too shrewd a woman not to
perceive that an influx of voters from
the East would make that policy
much more impressive.
Mrs. Batch said that when she con-

Chilean government bonds have been
purchased In the London market on
behalf of the republics sinking fund,
Is reminder Of the improved eco
nomic situation in South America.
"The first effect of the outbreak
OF the war;" comments the Times,
was to accentuate the depression
in business there and to lead to nu-
merous defaults on securities held in
this country.
But the substantial rise in prices
OF practically all its commodities ex-
ported to Europe which ensued later,
stimulated commercial activity, and
in comparatively short period
signs were discernible of healthy
state OF economic convalescence.
Nitrate, which at the outbreak OF the
war was almost unmarketable, is now
commanding double the price which
ruled then, and the revival of this
industry no doubt has been of con-
siderable assistance to Chile's ma
tional finances. -
ITO her credit, also, 1t should be
pointed out that, in spite of the diff
ficulties caused by the war, Chile
can claim the distinction that at a
time when defaults were almost the
order of the day 1t played It's part In
upholding the best traditions OF
South American finance by the faith

creditors. One result Of the war has
been to develop trade between the
South American republics and the
activity of business In such places as
Paraguay is to be attributed partly
to this cause.
Moreover, the United States has,
by enlarging its banking connections
in the South, encouraged overseas
trade, and 1t learned from private
advices that the position in Brazil Is
gradually improving. thanks to this
assistance"

Perhaps the, most common plea
which we make to excuse failure 10

want OF time. i haven't time has
grown to be one of the commonest
OF phrases. There is no question
about 1t, this is rapid age we live
In. The possibilities for accomplish

The man of business knows he
needs more physical exercise and APP
preciates the fact that he feels. the

cause he hasn't time. We lack time
to eat properly, to. think properly, to
rest properly. Twenty-four hours
seems too short day for many of us,
and what is the result?

other and inithe end the aggregate of
