What is good health? Is it
ability to get away with three or
four meals a day? Or IS it free
dom from pain and discomfort?
II is neither. Those who eat
much are rarely healthy, and
those who have no pain are often
very unhealthy.
There are no sensory nerves
in the kidneys, liver, and lungs,
and one can be nearly dead from
an involvement of the working
parts of these organs, and yet
feel no pain. Tell him of his
danger and he will laugh at you,
but if he has little tooth-ache,
or tender CORN, he feels un-
healthy.
My defnatton for good health
IS: llDeral amount OF vitality,
that is not wasted or loaded down
with impurities in,the system.
The amount of ones vitality IS
Inherited. We talk about in.
creasing or building up vitality,
but it can not be done. All we
can do is to unload an cucumber
ed system and give the vitality a
chance.
Hence, good health means a.
good inheritance of vitality which
is allowed to assert itself and
carry the life on as sweet song.

Feeling that the dependence OF this country
upon the foreign demand for our goods had been
exaggerated. the following statement was sent
with the questions.
"The aggregate of our foreign trade. includ-
ing both imports and exports, is about five and
one-half billions. Our domestic commerce is
competently estimated at about 100 billions. The
purchasing power of our population is greater
than that of any other people in the world. Eco
norlically we are self-coptained. IL the balance
between domestic production and consumption

sarily alarm ourselves conditions that af

There have been LILO replies received, so far,
some of them being long letters.
II would seem then TO be the opinion OF these
representative business men that this country
is in no danger Of commercial depression with
the ending of the European war.
careful reading of the replies shows that
those who feel apprehensive TO the effect of
peace IN Europe upon American business &C
tiyity are engaged. for the most part in the
metal or munition industries in the manu-
facture of articles that were imported before the

The fountain Of youth is figure
of speech. II is a symbol of the deep
seated belief Of mankind that some
where. somehow. it. is possible TO
find a means to keep oneself looking
young.
This inherent, traditional belief Is
well-grounded. II has a basis In
reality.
Unfortunately those who most ar
IDENTIFY wish to keep themselves look
ing young. frequently seek the means
in the wrong place.
Travelling by train in New Hamp-
shire recently / was strongly re-
minded of this lamentable truth.
At one of the smaller cities there
entered a woman, we'll past middle
life, who manifestly had been try
ing hard to fnd the fountain OF
youth.
But she had made the sad mis-
take of looking for 1t in the drug
store and the dressmaker's shop.
Her face was delicately tinged.
her lips artistically red. She car
ried a powder pun. to which she fur
lively resorted.
She was tightly-oh. so tightly
laced. Her gown was OF some rust
ling stuff, OF a cut admirably suited
TO a young woman of % or there
about. Her hat, ditto.
Poor soul. Doubtless she fiattered
herself that by all this she had sue
ceeded in looking young. Actually
she had succeeded only in looking
ridiculous.
Her get-up fooled nobody but her
self. Nay. on others 1t had the ef-
feet OF leading them TO suppose her
older than she probably was.
The fact Is that the fountain OF
youth is to be found nowhere except
within ourselves.
II Is not by external aids but by
the way we live and think that We
can SO affect our appearance as 70
make others believe that We are
younger than we really are.
IL we would keep our skin clear
and fresh, and keep the wrinkles
away from our eyes and mouth, We
must retain the spirit OF youth by
persistently cultivating the buoyant
hopeful. courageous mental states Of
youth.
We must conquer worry, and also

And I have cried your name aloud

FILTERS.

The best filters are germ proof only
for a limited time. but the fact
that the cloudiness OF the water Is
removed by most OF these filters
causes an unjustifed feeling Of Sc
curity.
Germs are very much smaller
than even the finest PARTICLES OF
suspended matter and they can,
may and do pass through the filters
unless the latter are under constant
expert supervision.
In laboratories. these filters are
sterilized by baking. preferably in
an electric furnace each time they
are used. The baking process often
causes cracks in the filter which
allows communicating matter TO pass
through
The pores Of even the most eff.
cient filters. when used for any con.
siderable length OF time. become
filed with germs, which may gradu.
ally work their way through.
In view OF these facts water 10

lieved to be infected should be
boiled as we'll as altered. The. boil

Remarkable Russia.

Russia, spurred to undreamedof energy by the
war, has almost completed one of the greatest
engineering feats of the age.
Its double track railroad from Petrograd to
Ekaterina, 700 miles long and stretching
through a swampy. almost uninhabited and very
inaccessible country. Is open to trafhc.
Thus, at last, Russia has an open port II
months In the year. for the Gulf Stream. sweep
ing into the Arctic of the coast Of Lapland,
spends itself there and keeps the waters Of
Catherine Harbor perpetually ice free.
Besides being an all year port Ekaterina is 500
miles nearer the Atlantic than the principal
port the White Sea, Archangel.
Everything points TO the fact that Russia
will be, after the war; one Of Americas most
important customers II, in fact. not the most i'm
portant of all the old world nations. great
part OF this trade will find an entrance through
the new port.

reason for their apparent apathy.

you say ut is possible. and many
believe II TO be a fact, that the Co
