PRACTICAL HYGIENE.

When the New York child went back
to school on the first of October he
met with a new and disconcerting ex-
perience. He was required to open
.$his mouth and say "Ah!" while his
teacher carefully examined his mol
ars to see that they were in good con-
dition. Then he was requested to I'M
fasten his collar and turn his head
from side to side while his neck and
ears were minutely inspected.
Every child is going to know the ne
cessity of the toothbrush, the value of
the individual towel, handkerchief
and comb before the New York school
gets through with him. said one edu-
Gator in discussing the new plan. In
addition to this he will also learn the
science Of food, so that all-day suck
ers and five-cent pastry will not long
er appeal to him.
1t has often been pointed out by
child authorities that if children I'M
derstand the value Of good food they
would become quite amenable to dis
cipline in the matter of diet, so the
New York board of education is going
to put the theory to the test.

A MENACE TO THE LONELY.

The first time they met was in a
public dance hall She was standing
at the side longing for dance-with
anyone.
He sauntered up, asked for a dance
with her and she complied She didn't
mind his cigarette breath or his boor-
ish manner. He was a perfect dancer,
and in that she reveled.
The second time they met was on
the street. He barely tipped his hat
to her, and she smiled to him.
That was encouraging, so the third
meeting was more intimate.
Hello kid" was his greeting.
She was bit alarmed, but she ans
wered with Hello"
So the meetings went, he not deem
ing it necessary to doff his hat to her
or greet her with a better salutation
than Hello kid!"; she encouraging
him all the more by not showing she
felt offended by his manner toward
her.
She happened to pass a group of
those idlers who find all their time

Hello kid" came from the group.
She looked at them Not one of
them she knew She was surprised.
She had passed that group many times
heretofore and this was the first time
they had hailed her.
The next time she met her dance

IF / HAD TIME.

If had time, I'd stop a while
To visit with my wife;
I'd do some deed to put smile
In somebody's lonely life;
I'd join the Riddles at their play,
And judge it not a crime
To Taught little every day
If had time.
I'd write the letters that I owe
To friends SO long forgot;
I'd read a book or two and go
To church-as like as not.
I'd do the things I ought to do
While life is at it's prime.
Instead of Shaving till I'm through

A PAINTERS FRENZY.

The painter-engraver, Alexander
Lunois, who has just died, excelled in
oriental scenes. He had passed half
his life in the lands of the Musselman.
His works were full Of light, full of
color, full Of movement. During his
last illness, at Paris, where his ele-
CANT apartments looked out upon the
quay, he was on couch burning up
with fever. From time to time he
threw a glance upon beautiful Van
Dock. The picture was covered by a

A DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.

A train was creeping along Oh one
OF Miohigan's VIGOROUSLY punk rail
roads when it finally it stopped with
wheeze and a jerk which sent half
of the passengers over the seats or
into the aisles. The conductor enter
ed the day coach with an apologize
air and ready to dodge if any of the
passengers should try to shoot him.
Leaning over the PROSTATE form of a
travelling man who had been thrown
into the aisle, he asked in confder-
tial whisper: Say, mister, have you
got bottle of mucilage in your grip ?
We want to fix the engine"

years hence. Scientists long ago
evolved the scheme of saving up tim
Der into breakfast food and said that
a man could go forth with a bucksaw
and get enough sawdust out of fence
rail to keep himself and his family
supplier for some time.
One learned scientist thinks that he
has solved the problem for all time
and says that the nut trees could, in
a pinch supply food for the entire
world.
This knotty question has become a
nutty question, and one which he has
apparently solved. Those who are on
earth now should be Of good cheer;
they will not have to starve 100000
years hence.

WHY WORRY?
(Topeka State Journal

(TOpeka State Journal.)
Leave it to the old boys Of science,
they of the square spectacles and ear
muffs and this world will be pulled
through its rather precarious exist
ence. Some time ago somebody who
needed the money wrote an alarmist
article for a magazine, stating that in
a very short time, in fact, within 81
100000 or 100000 years, the earth's
food supply would be entirely exhaust
ed.
This set all the scientists going like
horoscopes, and in the dizzy whirl OF
investigation some very interesting
things came to light. 1t was up to the
scientists to find something for the
people to eat 100000 or 100000

The last week before election sees
summing up Of the issues at hand and
an unsparing review Of the two candi
dates qualities. Over the state Mr.
Hughes has had splendid support from
practically every newspaper and if
this counts for anything, should win
hands down. In the past two months
and indeed before, there has been
enough said to inform the voter just
how things stand. The voters know
just what his opponents think of Pres
ident Wilson's Mexican policy and
have the right to now decide whether
it has been weak or strong. The for
teign situation has sufficiently clarified
itself to denote whether or not we have
been strictly neutral and whether or
not we have successfully bowed the
knee to Great Britain and the Ger
man Empire. The voters know, or
should know the why and wherefore
OF the eight hour act and it is up to
them to decide the merit Of Uncle
Sans stepping i'll behind favored
class and giving them the best of it
with the sanction of the government
These, to us, are the three great is
sues before the voters and, aside from
Che matter Of personal character in
the two candidates, the election musl
rest on them. Many things are said
in a campaign that must stand at q
liberal discount. BY this we mean

mud-slinging. President Wilson is
not, we believe, subservient to Eng
land He is not wicked man, dis
honorable man, or anything but good
man, actuated by the highest motives.
No one can seriously claim such a
thing any more than one can seriously
claim that Mr.. Hughes is a tool Of Sc
cret influences, and if elected, will
lend a willing ear to the powers of
darkness. 1t is the glory and the hope
of the American people that the can-
didates of all parties are honorable,
good men Of the highest type. The
question rests purely on a matter OF
policies and the temperament and
training of the two candidates. Pres
ident Wilson'S life prior to few
years ago was spent in the portals Of
a great university where he instruct
ed young men to a high standard Of
ideals Mr.. Hughes career has been
in large part that Of law. His train
ing has been practical-one calculated
to develop sagacity and an ability to
weigh things before jumping at con-
illusions. AS lawyer, as governor Of
New York and as chief justice of the
supreme court, Mr.. Hughes has been
tried and found strong and steadfast
in every case. That he has the great
courage to expOund his views on every
issue, before, in many cases if not hos
tile, heckling audiences, shows the
ruggedness of his character. The re-
publican party presents candidate
that stands four square!

EARLY MORNING ROBBERY; CULPRlT
 IS NOW IN JAIL

This morning between 3:S0 and 4:3O o'clock. the t.ll of the Merchants Cafe was robbed.
 At noon today the city police arrest ed the culprit and it is stated that he has confessed.
 Early today a thief entered the Mer- chants Cafe by prying apart the bars on the window in the rear of the res- taurant. When the proprietor arriv- ed to prepare for the days business he found the place had been entered and immediately notified the police department. Close investigation re- vealed the fact that only the tin had been rifled and the contents. $S.55. all In nickles and dimes, had been taken.
 The members of the department got busy with the result that at noon to- day John Leroux was arrested. Ac- cording to the police all of the coin taken. with the exception of % cents, was found on Leroux's person. Le- roux was immediately taken to the jaii and placed in O cell.
 Leroux was only liberated from the federal jail several weeks ago where he served a long sentence for forging a check on Dave Housel.

REASON NoRWEelANs WERE
 NOT WITH FORD EXPEDITION

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-Letters on the steamer arriving yesterday from members of the Ford Peace Commiss- sion give the first real reason why the Norwegian Peace Party declined to have anything to with the Ford Com mission. Several dispatches indicated that the bone of contention was Nine Rosika Schwimmer. This was the truth, but the dispatches carried very little about the matter. The letters yesterday stated that the feeling in Norway was very bitter against the expedition because of not immediately expelling Mime.
