Today. according to competent au-
thority, ten times as many people die
in the United States from diseases
OF the heart and blood vessels as
died from these diseases half a cen
fury ago. In chief part this start
ling increase is due to the fact that
modern modes OF living put a great
or strain on these organs than did
the modes in vogue before the civil
war
People eat more, hurry more, and
worry more than people then did.
Also. there has been an increase in
certain diseases-notably syphilis
which have heart disorders as after
effects.

How Woman Profits
BY Political Turmoil

The change and the increase In The activities
OF the women OF Europe may be deplorable but
they are far from being negligible.
When the history OF this decade is written,
many a chapter must be given TO the achieve
ments Of woman.
whether for better or for worse, woman has
cut new inches for herself in the social edi1ce
and has set herself permanently therein.
The eagerness with which the women OF the
warning nations undertook mans employments
at the outbreak OF hostilites, and the ability
with which they have accomplished their work
is vindication Of feminism.
II IL always in periods of political and social
unrest that woman perceives her best chances
for SELLING upon a little more freedom.
In the past few years Of Chnas political
agitation, the women of that country travelled
farther on the road TO liberty than they had gone
in all tho previous centuries.
In Mexico, in the midst OF the present politi-
cal turmoil woman is emerging from secu-
sion and dependence which have amounted al
most to subsection.
Only recently. 700 delegates convened in the
first congress OF women ever held In the republic
of Mexico.
These women were largely NJ the middle
class: they belonged TO social stratum much
neglected in a commonwealth made up OF the
very rich and the very poor; they wre hampered
by conservative Spanish traditions on the one
hand, and the other by ideas of woman's
lnferiority inherited from the Indians and the
poems they were instructed under a religion
which does not sanction divorce; they lived un.
der an enervating southern sun: nevertheless
they felt the worldwide pull OF the feminist
movement. and they responded TO IL.
They could not resist because feminism (of
which sufragIsm is only part) is not a revolu.
ton.

Your Place In the Sun.

A home without windows was built for The
blind in a certain English community Sclen-
tifc heating and ventilation were provided but
the architects and trustees reasoned that light
was not necessary in a house for sightless people
So they erected their windowless institution
and installed its occupants. And then they dis
covered that human beings. like plants, dwindle
and die when deprived of the light of the sun.
And they had to remodel their buildings, and
let in the suns rays. In order to keep their
blind people alive.
Since the invention of the electric light We
have all treated sunlight with amazing nditer-
ence. In summer. especially, we spend much
time thought, energy and money protecting our
selves from the sun.
And in so doing We are often acting not much
more wisely than the committee who builded a
house without light for the blind In summer,
for instance, We try to escape the sun as the
worst OF all nuisances. when We actually need
its services in the cause Of our own good health.
SO take your work and your play out OF doors
when possible. Don't risk sunstroke, but don't
be afraid Of sweat and tan.

guide the future government Of China.
His first act was to give the deposed
ROYALTY a certain amount of money so
that it would not suffer This income
was to continue for a number OF years
until the helpless recipients could read
lust themselves to their new conditions.
He next instituted schools and colleges,
reconstructed the army, prohibited the
sale of opium and in every way CONDUCT
ed himself as a wise, far-sighted ener-
getic statesman.
The constitution adopted placed the
sovereignty in the whole body OF the clti-
zens. but Yuan would not consent TO that
on account of the ascendency at the time
of the military party.
For four years China struggled along
from a brave beginning with gradual
concentration of power in Yuan Shi kal's
hands. The orientals' conception OF pop
ular government is constitutionalism.
During the four years there was much
dissension within the ranks. The people
are temperamentally averse to change.
The idea of new president every few
years did not appeal to them. They saw
no hope of stability If presidents could
have been hereditary there is strong
probability that they would have been
satisfied. The desire for the old order
became strong, but not for the old Man
chu regime The republic seemed to
them to give full opportunity to the am
bilious to become aspiring and sow the
seeds of rebellion. Two thousand repre-
sentatives met in the national assembly
and proposed change to an empire; the
people were allowed to vote and were
almost unanimous in their approval.
There was no one available for emperor
but Yuan Shi Kai, who had kept very
still through all this trouble. He came
out of retirement; accepted the honor
but stipulated that there should be no
coronation until the world was in more
settled state and that there would prac-
tically be no change of government I'M
iii then. Japan was threatening to en-
croach and Yuan was lying low that no
false move might be made.
And now Yuan is dead, and there is
mystery connected with his end. He had
enemies, but China, in the main, regard
ed him as it's greatest man. Viewed
from his own surroundings, he was far
in advance of his times, and whether
ambitious to become emperor or not, IS
conceded to have been true patriot.
The ideals of China are not the Ideals
of America and it is impossible for the
western world to judge him.

He Who Puts His Faith
In Political Platforms Is
Always Sure of a Jolt.

Platforms may be necessary adjuncts
! Of political parties and platforms can be
built of nothing but planks. but, in the
latter, we have no more faith than the
proverbial grain of mustard seed, which
We are told, is required for personal sal
vation. There are planks and planks and
each is capable of an Interpretation as
broad as the land and as deep as the
sea, which will meet any requirement
that may arise.
The Republicans have inserted suf-
1f1ge plank which is white and beautiful,
but there is trap door under 1.-THE
right of states to settle this matter-and
lust as the women climb fairly upon it,
the trap is sprung and down they 80 into
the dungeon, where they have been right

sOf the Republicans, for it answers two
purposes--it pleases the suffragists and
placates the south.
Il And who is to decide just what
@Americanism" is?
Our strenuous friend, Col. Roosevelt,
has delegated to himself that task, all
unsolicited. 1t seems to consist largely

What the colonel would have us do is
to subscribe to an American autocracy,
whose reins he would hold in his good
right hand. A flick of the whip on the
one hand, or slap of the reins on the
other and away we would go at merry
gait, saving the nation.

Yuan Shi Kai Leaves
On China the Impress
Of True Patriotism

When the Manchu monarchy of China
stepped down from power in 1911 and a
republic was set up in it's place, the west
ern world gasped with establishment.
China, the country which, generation
ago, was hedged about with mystery /;
whose celestial city of Pekin was encir-
cled with vast forbidding wall; who
welcomed no innovations nor outsiders;
who bound its women's feet so that they
were incapable of natural walking; the
worshippers of ancestors and all things
old, to become republic and, still fur
Their, to give to all its people, men and
women, full suffrage, was an idea too diff
ncult to grasp.
When the indomitable old empress was
finally Obliged to retire to her summer
palace and take her figurehead grandson
with her, the very walls about Pekin
must have felt strange rumblings.
Il was then that Yuan Shi Kai came
prominently into the limelight. There
had been blood feud between him and
the prince regent which had resulted in
Yuan's retirement as viceroy of Shan
tnne and Chill, but after the fall of the
nno6archy. he was speedily recalled and

The Fool.
~ DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

A fool is one who has no feeling Of the
future.
He is not criminal; he is a child. 1t
is not evil that ails him. it is arrested
development
The child wants everything now. To-
morrow is vague TO him, and has no APP
peal. He wants to stuff himself with
green apples, and refuses to consider the
consequent gripes.
And the gentleman in the dress shirt
who says he wants what he wants when
he wants it" is nothing but a child.
When child grows up and doesn't grow
up, he is called fool.
The best part of any ones life is the
future. 1t is that which determines the
quality of the present, and gives signifi-
canoe to the past. Tomorrow is the sky
of today, and it is the sky that gives
light and beauty and warmth to the
earth.
Happy people live in the future, really
happy people. Hope is a much more
dominant factor in the joy of life than
qualification.
In the old question they used to de-
bate in the high school, Resolved, that
there is more pleasure in anticipation
than in possession" the affirmative
has it.
The fool Slaughters the goose to get
the golden egg Hence continual bore
dom.
PesSimism is kept active by fools. For
the man who never takes care for the
future naturally does not look forward
TO it with any delight
The secret of the wise-hearted is:
Look out for tomorrow, and today will
look out for itself"
The standard fool was Esau, who sold
his birthright for mess of pottage.
The streets of the city are full of his
descendants, girls buying months and
years Of Indebtedness for an hour of
smiles and preening, boys buying floods
of shame and failure for few bottles
I of passion.
Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomor-
row We die"-you flatter yourself; to-
morrow you will live, which is worse
than death.
Tomorrow is the best counsellor, the
truest friend.
Whoever walks and talks with him will
get the most out of today.
Il will lift mine eyes unto the hills,
from whence cometh strength" said
sage. The name of that range Of hills
is tomorrow.
The fools creed is:
81 believe in Now. believe appetites
were made to be gratifed and not to be
controlled. | believe in having a good
time, for I'll never be young but once
Il believe in mortgaging every acre or
the future and using the money now. l
believe in picking all the blossoms and
never caring for the fruit. | believe in
looking out for number one. | believe
in other people being thrifty, self-re-
strained and temperate, for my benefit.
