noses are the rule and not the excep-
ton. The government has made. a
feeble effort to correct the errors men
toned by passing such legislation as
the inadequate pure food and drug
measure and the admirable antinarcotic
law. But more than that is required
to save US from the disasters of self
medication and the calamities that
come from taking the opinion of those
who are unframed.
Some governments have passed laws
to protect the ignorant from their own
ignorance also from the cupidity of the
merely mercenary as well as from the

The Game of Life.

Life becomes, as the stoics more
than once tell US, like a play which
Is acted or a game played with coun-
tiers. Viewed from the outside, these
counters are valueless, but to those
engaged In the game their importance
Is paramount. What really and ulti-
mately matters is that the game shall
be played as 1t should be played God.

Victoria, B. C.-Edward P. Price does
not wear medals in recognition OF
worlds record tramp, neither Is he the
author of any Travels by Foot tales
not yet-but he has made something
of q record for stamina and Is now
hopelessly a victim to relentless de-
sire to walk every highway which may
be casually named in his presence. He
has walked from Chicago to San Fran
cisco in a roundabout way, a distance
of 8. 400 miles. He does not claim that
there is anything remarkable about
that fact alone, but the circumstances
of the trip make q, good story.
The first consideration Is the fact
that Mr.. Price at the beginning or his
tramp was a tenderfoot.
The Price party, for he did not uaV-
Ell alone, was essentially a tenderfoot
group. Perhaps the most experienced
member was Bunny, a donkey whose
eight years had at least taught MIN
caution. Another member was collie
dog named Prince, which Is now much
more than mere dog to Mr.. Price, and
another thing which does not appear
In the log Of the journey, but upon
which he admits the successful con-
clusion Of the undertaking largely de-
pended, was the taunts OF Prices
friends in Chicago.
Price left Chicago in midsummer
1914, travelling westward along the
Lincoln highway. The tramp was the
result Of a wager and was to be made
entirely on foot with the consideration
that the conditions would not be ful'
filed unless the journey was finished
with both of his four footed compan
ions. He insists without blush that
every inch Of the journey was on FOOT
The certified statements Of the may
ors of the various cities along the

"And that applies to the man who Is

II does to the man who Is getting $50 a
