Got to Be Prosperous.

II IL an old saving that without good crops
we cannot have prosperity.
Our farmers have had two big bumper crops
In succession which is unusual and under the
law OF averages three bumper crops In success
sion are hardly possible and in 1916 We ought
TO expect poorer crops.
This figuring averages. which Is not whol
ly reliable applies to general farm products and
the prosperity dependent thereon.
The crops of the Pacific coast and South
West in 1916 are already assured by the copous
rains.
The top soils are thoroughly saturated and
the subsoils have reserve OF moisture that
long season OF hot weather cannot exhaust
Much water not only means much crops TO
the farmers and horticuiturists OF the far west
and southwest. but IL means convenience, aid
and profit TO the cities OF those regions
Indeed IL is safe TO say that prosperity In
1915 is already assured TO the people of those
regions
II will not be the third consecutive year OF
bumper prosperity. but II promises TO be a
bumper OF bumpers.

tie destructive effects exercised on
health by lack OF emotional control
Our modern life, 50 complex and
strenuous, presents increasing
causes OF emotional tension ana
strain. That We as people reacs
to these unduly is lamentaoly Ger
tain.
We must learn to eeHtFo! our feel
ings. We must contr.ve 10 over
come all tendencies to excessive
emotionality in the way Of fear
worry. anxiety. envy, anger
These ravage the whole system,
mental and physical. They bring
in their train nervous breakdowns
insanity. and most serious bodily
disorders.
As I write. there is before ne a
summary of the recently issued NOR
tallty statistics OF the United State
census bureau for the year 1914. One
OF the outstanding features OF this
summary 4 the startling increase in
deaths from degenerat!ng diseases
OF internal organs which are known
by physicians 10 be specially affect
ed by emotional storms.
In 1900 the death rate In the
United States from diseases OF the
heart was l23.i per 100000 popula-
tion. In 1914 II was 1898 per l00.-
600.
Kidney disease in 1914 killed al
the rate of 1924 per 100000.
Diabetes was the cause OF 1856
deaths, or 16.3 per 100000. as con-
trasted with 81 per 100000 in 1900.
No figures are given in the sum
mary as TO deaths from apoplexy
and arterial diseases. but these dis
eases. together with those just nam
ed, are among III maladies account
ing for 60 per cent OF all deaths In
the year 1915.

Why Not Uncle Sam.

To the Editor of The Ti;aes:
As I read tie tale OF the terrible
destruction OF life and property
aIorg the Mississippi and other
rivers. 1 was forcibly impressed
with The utter uselessness Of
1t all. For the last two years or
more. there were said 10 De some
three or four million men In our
nation anxious TO work, but who
could not get "A Job. The query arose
in my mind: Why don't Uncle Sam
employ those rlen in building levees
that are absolutely safe and food
proof? A. look at 1t. the matter
Is perfectly feasible. Certainly, a
levee can be built. high enough and
broad enough TO resist all the force
that would ever be brought against
70, by lining it with concrete three
or four feet thick on the side to-
wards the river and then employing
sufficient number OF men stationed
at convenient points. as guards, to
notice the least fracture and sum-
mon oil the force available TO stop
the leak. II is hopeful that our gov
eminent will learn lesson from
these appalling events which trans
pire nearly every year. and take
steps to prevent the recurrence OF
there awful calamitIes, which cause
SO much damage to life and proper.
~. Just TO think of the heartrend-
ing scenes connected with the gi
gantic foods in Ohio a few years
ago Is enough to make cur blood
curdlc with horror! n Uncle Sam
would take the initiative. the states
whore those floods occur would. no
doubt. gladly cooperate. and forever
put stop TO this Wholesale 6evasta-
ton, suffering and ruin, and that
dreaded labor problem would find a
quick and satisfactory solution.

you. Win expensive roads enable

Certainly not. and yet We arc ask.

cient than that for high tariff or

The men who do II can for the most
part shift their share OF the taxes
TO the poorer classes. and we see
every year mo.e men OF immense

Time!

Here we are again, in the midst OF an

ought to have in Detroit.
Time was when ii was sun.
If we started for the depot to get our
train at that time. in time to get there,
sun time, we would be % minutes ahead
IF time, central standard, or railroad
time.
Then the time came when We had CEN
trail standard, or railroad, time.
Then there was not so much danger
Of getting to the depot ahead of time un-
less the train was behind time, which
happened. of course, some times.
Then the time came when we adopted
eastern standard time, which is our time
at the present time.
Now comes the time when they want
us to change back to central. or standard
time. a second time, because the railroads
haven't changed to eastern standard

Some people still have their clocks run

The majority have theirs running

stick to central time.
We have only to suggest that we
should be in no hurry to change to any
particular time, it is so evident We have
all kinds of time.
Someone has asked us our own prefer
ence in the matter Of time.
