PATRIOTISM AND HEALTH.
BY n. AoplNoToN sRUcE.


less modes Of living, they have been
unpatriotic.
Nor il is only for military pur-
poses that men should deem IL pa
triotic duty to conserve their health
In times of peace as in times OF war
the power OF every nation depends
on the healthfulness of its citizens
As the world is today constituted
national rivalries and conflicts are
always in progress. even in the
most peaceful times. There Is a
perpetual competition among ma
tons for intellectual. political. indus
trial and commercial supremacy.
The competition Is carried on, no:
in theory. but most concretely-by
brains and by Drawn. Brilliant
leaders. strong workers, and in great
numbers. are needed TO achieve ma
tional success. Every mental dul-
lard, every physical weakling. is a
potential helper gone wrong.
Hence the tremendous importance
of right living from national and
patriotic point Of view.
Hence the justice OF asserting that
the man who rules his health
through ignorance OF the laws OF
personal hygiene. like the man who
wilfully commits slow suicide by
dissipation, Is doing more than in
juring himself lie is dealIng'a blow

The evil effects OF insufficient

It Is generally agreed that the

The world war has brought home
to all OF us the responsibilities OF
citizenship. 1t has given added force
and meaning 10 the word patriotism.
But while patriotism o. a surety
means willingness, n need be, to die
for ones country, il also has mean
ing too often overlooked-willing-
ness to live for ones country TO the
best OF ones ability. And 1t is GER
tain that after the war this other
meaning OF patriotism will be more
and more emphasized. especially in
the lands where wars ravages have
been the worst.
a constantly increasing number OF
national leaders will then be found
indorsing and echoing ex-President
William Howard Taft's declaration !:
ct may well be claimed that the
care of individual and family health
is the first and most patriotic duty
OF citizen
Have you. my friend. ever thought
OF your health from this higher
standpoint? Has il ever occurred to

Are You Patriotic? Here
Is a Chance For You to
Shout and Burn Red Fire

1t is interesting to observe the humil-
Iity of the armor-plate barons since the
passage by the senate of the Tillman ar
NOR plate bill.
This bill provides that Uncle Sam equip
himself to manufacture the shields for
the warships which are to guard his
coasts.
Naturally, the gentlemen who have
amassed large fortunes through selling
him this material at large profit OBJ
jected
The scheme didn't fit in with their
ideas of proper preparedness.
At first they adopted naughty atti-
| tude.
1t wasn't possible, they said, to fur
nish armor plate at a lower cost than
$425 per ton.
Furthermore, they pointed out, it
would be impossible for the government
to manufacture all the armor needed for
| the completion of the five-year naval
building program on time.
oOlIit part WOuIu HdNC W DS La hiohSH
by private plants.
| Therefore they threatened
eff you compete with us" they told
Uncle Sam, 1--WE will get ours by doubling
the price of that portion Of material
which you MUST buy from us"
The senators did not take kindly to
this sort of coercion.
They passed the bill, and at present
there is every reason to believe that it
viii be accorded similar treatment in the
house.
And we find the erstwhile naughty mu-
milton makers humbly petitioning con-
gress not to put them out OF business.
They will be glad, they say, to furnish
all the armor plate needed at $685. per
ton, despite their previous declaration
that it couldn't be done.
| If that isn't satisfactory, they will open
their books to federal experts and allow
them to determine just what constitutes
fair price.
It's a bitter pill for the patriots-for-
profit bunch.
And the dose is made even more re-
pugnant by the fact that this repentance
has met with but small response from
the lawmakers.
About the only ones inclined to listen
| to the losers wall are Senators Penrose,
Oliver, Lippit and Lodge, always in the
van of reaction, who led the list OF 70
who voted to kill the bill.

deprived of any of his rights.

Our advice to the dry supporters is to
let up on Brandeis and to consider them
selves and their cause lucky if he is con-
frmed for the seat to which he has been
appointed.
B-r-a-n-d-e-i-s Is just another way of
spelling justice, and any cause that is
found before him, seeking justice, no

The Art of Happy Memory.
ev DIR. SRANk CRANE
Copyright. 1915. By Frank Crane)

The most significant step mind takes
is that wherein il realizes that il can
control its own operation; when it learns
that it can command those things in it
self commonly considered automatic.
And in nothing does this appear with
such striking results to happiness as in
the discovery OF ones power to manage
his memory.
Most people think they remember
what they remember. and that is all
there is to it. But it is possible to make
memory servant and restrain its
mastery.
In Italy rare motto was found by
Hazlitt upon n sun dial: "Horas non
numero nisi serenas'-"l mark only the
shining hours"
The man whose increase of content
ment is most assured, as he grows older,
is the one who has discovered how to en-
JOY his past.
To many of us the past is always sad.
We turn from it with impotence. Man
never is, but always to be, blest." Nat
urally this habit of mind sees in the
ever shortening future nothing but trag-
edy. Accept, then, these hints on how
to handle your past. =
First whatever it is, has been; it has
brought you here. Your condition may
not be all your impudent claims on the
universe demand, but it might be worse.
Better men than you are in Jail, are
stricken with unceasing pain. Better
men than you have been hanged.
Out of the worst experience you have
had you may reap satisfaction. The
dangers, sicknesses, accidents, and losses,
one who understands the art Of living
finds in the recalling of even these a
certain thankfulness. Is there not pleas
ure in recounting your narrow escape?
You have had pangs and pains but the
wise man knows that out of these have
come his richest crops of understanding.
Life has its stripes; but they are its
healing.
The past is largely made by the pres
pointed you are quite hopeless, for your
diseased memory will go over your past
and pick out from it only miserable
things. But if you have adjusted your
self, if with courageous heart you are
trying to make the best of conditions as
they are, your memory will aid you, and
bring you stores of happy incidents.
7 Your past is the strongest asset of your
present judgment 1t is your best teach
er. Only from it do you learn whatever
shrewdness you have in dealing with
events.
Learn to forgive yourself, not in folly,
but in a sane charity. The things you
did wrong, the failures and mistakes,
consider them as part of that tutelage
of destiny that goes toward your present
equipment.
What has happened to you has hap
pened to all men. The question is, will
you Gull from il flowers or thorns?
Everything considered" says Renan,
there are few situations in the vast field
of existence where the balance of debt
and credit does not leave a little surplus
of happiness"
We have crossed the years. We are
here We have escaped what perils! We
have landed with what residue of wis
dom and Of hope!
