FOOLISH FEAR

TUCH foolish fear has been
Nl aroused over the epidemic Of
infantile paralysis now prevail
ing in New York and New Jersey.
Physicians admit they do not know
whether or not il IS either infectious
or contagious. There is no reason for
any parent to become panic-stricken.
Cleanliness, fresh air and wholesome
food are the three proofs against this
disease, just as they are against all
other maladies. Keep the little ones
clean as possible, outdoors as much as
possible and see TO it that they eat
lightly and properly. The rest is not
in mortal hands.

THE PAPER FAMINE.

1T will have been observed by those
who are following the serious stu
alton that confronts the newspaper
industry OF the United States that one
of the important factors in the paper
famine is the Democratic tariff which
interferes with the Canadian pulp
supply One Of the elects OF this
measure is pointed out by the head
OF the International Paper Company,
which concern IS now arranging TO
build q large paper mill in Canada.
This same official is authority for the
statement that most OF the other
paper mills in the United States will
probably be compelled TO transfer
their plants TO Canada.
This is a fine situation, but il is
of a piece with many other phases
OF the Democratic tariff tinkering.
Manufacturers OF other products de-
clared before the outbreak OF war in
Europe that it would be necessary for
them TO establish their plants and
factories in Europe 10 compete with
the cheap products OF the country
beyond the seas as q result Of the free
trade policy.
Too late 10 avert the calamity that
has come upon many important in
dust-!es the Wilson Administration
now practically admits that there viii!
have 10 be sone revision Of the tariff
along protective lines Yet when the
Underwood bill was under considera-
ton in Congress manufacturers who
went TO Washington TO protect their
own interests and the interests OF the
country were given the cold shoulder
and made to understand that they
represented an obnoxious lobby which
could have no hearing before the
high-minded and altruistic represen-
tadves Of an accidental admins
tradon.
Every day demonstrates more
clearly the necessity for cleaning
house at Washington in such a way
as to eliminate the theoretical poll
cies which have caused widespread
dissatisfaction and unrest.

THE BROKEN ARROW.
coPSRfoHr ~erckuRe Nvos<PtS SyaotcArJES

John and Frank lived in a cabin on the prairie. This was many years ago, when the Indians were not as friendly with the white man as they are now, for they thought he had taken their hunting grounds from them and left them without home, and every white man they saw they shot at with their bows and arrows, or, if they found his home, they would burn it and kill all the people.
 John and Frank drove many miles with their father and mother in a big wagon called a prairie schooner and drawn by two horses. It had a covering of sailcloth that kept out the rain, and all their cooking uten- sils and bedding, as well as other things, were carried in there. It took many days to reach the place where their father had intended to locate, and some nights they made their beds on the ground and other times in the wagon, but they enjoyed it, and, best of all, the cooking was done over a fire built upon the ground.
 After they reached the place it was a long time before they had house or cabin, and they had only two rooms when it was finished. There a place

JUDGE WHO WAS ONCE A BOY
Life to Kindly Encouragement of Inquisitive Tendency.

An eleven-year-old reporter" inter viewed Judge Brown of the municipal court on the subject of boys and their parents. The answers set down by the aspiring journalist prove that the judge has not forgotten his own boy hood. Many lad has owed his start in life to kindly encouragement of the inquisitive tendency It is easy enough to snub a youthful questioner or put him off with curt, unsatisfactory an swers. Yet it has been said that the beginning of reform is to ask ques- tions and the start can hardly be made too soon
 The boy is to be pitied without a live, quick mental reaction to the stim- ulus he receives from all manner of natural phenomena. It is a good sign when the child wants to know and is not satisfied with mechanical jargon and listless routine. Most of us treas ure to the end of our lives the memory of one who was not too busy to reply Life is a standing interrogation. The man who writes with force and feeling needs to ask intelligent questions oi the whole visible universe, and to ex plore the secret places of his own spirit. He ought not to discourage the same tendency in others, no mat ter how young they are.-Philadelphia Public Ledger.
