HUGHES And Wilson AGREE

frhe Berea (Ky.) Citizen makes a
good point for Berea College in quot
ing the words of the two opposing can
didates for President, both endorsing
the educational work of this instltu-
ton for the Southern mountains.
1t seems both men appeared on the
platform at meeting in behalf of Be-
rea College in Washington last win
ter. Berea is distinguished for its spe-
cial adaptations to the needs OF the
mountains. Hughes made the follow.
ing statement: There is no more
promising part of America, or one
lnore in need Of aid, than these South
ern Highlands, and ones notions of
education really have to be enlarged
to comprehend all that is embraced in
the splendid work of Berea."
President Wilson said: "The object
of Berea is to do what America was
intended to do, to give to people who
have not had it an opportunity. l
do not see how anybody can think OF
Berea and the work it is doing without
catching fire."

"Last spring a year ago." says Farm
and Fireside, "a ten-year-Old neighbor
boy was given ten cents by his grand
mother. He purchased packet of
good cucumber seed with his money
and grew a nice patch Of cucumbers
for the local village market. His crop
of cucumbers brought him a little
over Sc in money, all of which his
mother allowed him to keep and spend
as he pleased.
with 81 of his money this boy pur-
chased a few little things for himself,
and with the other S. he purchased q
eve lamb. By this spring his eve
lamb had grown into mature mother
sheep, and she gave birth to twin
lambs. So now the boy has three
sheep from his investment. The moth
er sheep is now worth $40, and the
lambs are worth SIS each, making a
total value of $40 he has earned with
his ten cents in year and a half. Be-
sides, he sold wool this spring from
the mother sheep for $2.45, which he
has placed in the savings bank as the
beginning Of a bank account Of his

FAMILY sIMPLES FOUND BEST
Great European War Has Opened the

of New Things.

Experience beats theory In the ap-

Of Lister and Pasteur in clinics, hos

The drugs whose prices rose to al
most prohibitive figures on the early
demand Of the war began to be super

surgeons are using sugar for dressing
infected wounds and sea water for
fresh injuries, with better results than
they got from the scarce carbolic
acids, iodoforms and other specifics Of
science.

SAW EVIL IN USE OF COFFEE
Beveraqe Was Once Looked Upon by
Orthodox Mohammedans as lnsidi-
GUS to Public Morals.

For one who has ever walked the
streets of q Turkish town it Is almost
impossible to imagine them without
coffee houses. Yet, those resorts are
of comparative regency among the
Turks, and they were not acclimatized
without bitter opposition.
While the properties Of the coffee
berry are supposed to have been dis
covered or rediscovered by an Arab
dervish In the thirteenth century, they
were unknown in Constantinople until
300 years later. The first coffee house
was opened there in 1854 by one
Shemsi, a native of AIeppo. The bev-
erage so quickly appreciated was as
quickly looked upon by the orthodox
as insidious to the public morals.
1t was variously denounced as one
of the four elements of the world OF
pleasure, one Of the four pillars of the
tent of lubricity, one Of the four cush'
ions of the couch of voluptuousness
and one of the four ministers Of the
devil-the other three being tobacco
opium and wine. "Kahveh," whence
our coffee, is slight modification OF
an Arabic word-literally meaning
"that which takes away the appetite.

The Human Cost

The great war has been going on
so long and the world has become so
accustomed to the horror of it that
little account is taken of the stag
gering loss it has entailed. Only
when there is a review of the sum
total of misery is proper apprecia-
ton possible of what it all has
meant. Such review has been
made by a Danish society which
has followed the casualties from the
beginning and has but out state
ment giving the casualties up to
August |, or for two years of the
conflict. The total killed since the
beginning number $780, 900; l.
500, 900 have been totally disabled;
the casualties of every sort are
placed at 100000.
It is difficult for the mind to
grasp the import of such figures

such as the mind of man could
never have conceived; they offer a
picture of untold suffering for years
to come and of hates engendered
that generations will not wipe out.
For it is not possible that the ex-
perience of those living today, who
have suffered more directly as in
dividuals than in the general suffer-
ing is the inevitable result of any
war, shall not be transmitted to
their children. Many stories have
been told of the griefs suffered by
non-combatants, those unspeakable
able griefs that have gone with war
throughout the ages. Mothers who
have experienced such sorrow will
transmit the resentment to their
children. And so the generations
will pay -Pittsburg Dispatch.
