smoking compartment on the Over

an hour across the prairies of Iowa.
They were both past the half century
mark, wen-gToomed and bore the air
of men who had succeeded in gather
ing in their full share of the goods
and chattels of this mundane sphere,
The older of the two drew from his
pocket a gold-clasped cigar case in
which several elegant perfectos re-
posed. The younger man partook of
one and soon they were blowing blue
wreaths of fragrant smoke heaven
ward For some minutes neither
spoke. The elder man glanced out at
the golden October sunshine which
flooded the wonderful cornfelds that
we were passing. Row after row of
corn shocks could be seen as far as
the eye could discern. Interspersed
were acres of ripening pumpkins
which looked like boulders of gold.

the conversation.

regards to so much talk about help

there is no earthly use in a woman
throwing herself away. If girls were
taught in the first place to respect
themselves others would respect
them.
Any girl who is expected to earn
her way should be given trade, also
a good education. The young woman
when ready to face the world as a
wage Garner tries faithfully and can
find no opening to gain a foothold.
She faces starvation and election
from her room or must live by the
price of her shame. What then? Try,
try again, and when the world says,

the safe and sane thing to do is to
get off the earth. In other words,

deaths from infection are in most cases chargeable to the care
lessness or ignorance of some person or community. Many peo-
pie assume that the responsibility for such death and grief, SORROW
and loss which it entails lies with the Creator, whereas the i'm
mediate responsibility in every case of, say, Typhoid Fever rests
upon man himself. God, in his wisdom, has placed mankind in
possession of the knowledge of the causative agent and the means
Of its spread. He has opened our minds that we may understand
how the disease may be prevented and avoided, and He has given
us all almost invaluable weapon with which to protect ourselves.
from the attacks of the germ which causes the disease. There
es. it is the innocent bystander who suffers from the neglect of
another; from somebody's failure to realize that he is his brothers
keeper. 1t is impossible in every instance to exactly fix the re-
sponsibHity for the sickness and death of one departed, but some
man or woman is responsible because only human beings have

cause it. Every case that contracts typhoid unwittingly takes into
Possibly he may have received it directly OF indirectly from some
person who suffered from a very light attack of typhoid fever, and
was the means-possibly the innocent means-of the spread of the
disease to other people. The responsibility does not always lie
with any one individual, but with some town or city which has been
careless in the method Of Kidding itself of its ofscourings, or has
been Indifferent to the laws of sanitation in securing it's drinking
water. But whatever the source these deaths can be prevented.
They are entirely unnecessary. It is the price which we are made
to pay for somebody's Ignorance and carelessness. The day is
fast approaching when such sacrifices will cease to be. It will ar
rive only when we have learned that the presence of typhoid in a
community means that someone has been criminally negligent of
his duty. What is applicable in the case of typhoid can well be
and a series of others. Education, and education alone along these
lines is the present day requirement.. We must reach the people
and furnish them the necessary information through every avenue
a concerted effort on the part of all to the end that the public may
better understand the object of all these sanitary precautions and
which is by far the greatest factor we have to contend With today
when we try to bring about any sanitary reform.
