This will be treated under two
separate heads, one dealing with
what already has been accomplish
ed and the other with that which
is in the making. 1t will be
pointed out that the party has met
new world conditions demanding
preparedness for national defense
by pointing to the advanced stage
OF preparedness Of the navy, both
in ships and men; legislation has
already enacted for the enlarge
ment OF the Naval Academy and
administration plans for rapid and

Stimulus in Trade

The platform also will contend
that legislation at home and dip
lomatic dealings abroad have lent
Ia strong stimulus to American
foreign trade; and that as re-
suit industrial prosperity has been
greatly enhanced and foreign
trade established on a frmer basis
than ever before.
The platform will charge that
the Republican platform is little
more than an attack upon Demo-
cratic achievements, offering no
constructive policy to take the
place Of the measures assailed.
Senator Stone, because of his
position as chairman of the Sen
ate foreign relations committee, is
generally accepted as speaking
with the authority of the Presi-
dent on those phases of the plat
form. 1t was declared tonight that
no complete platform draft had
been made. Besides the planks
framed by President Wilson may
have been submitted by admins

Others throughout the country.

lions committee of the conven-

Conserving Our Nervous Energy
By EDWIN F. BOWERS, Md
author of "Side-Sepping Health"

:, IF we took as much interest in preserv-
ing our energy as we do in preserving
our clothes, we would be far less inter-
esting as medical "cases."
We waste, in thousand useless ways,
do the work of the world many times over.
We apply efficiency to about everything
under the sun except ourselves.
Few realize that we have but certain
amount of physical and nervous energy
to expend, and that if we waste it in futile
and non-productive activities we GER
tainly are going to run shy of punch
when the real need comes to show eff
ficiency. If every one could know the
value of few minutes complete relax
ation,-the sensible utility of sitting back
"as loose as ashes once in while,-there
would be dearth of nervous breakdowns.
II the student, the mother, the brain
worker-if every one who uses energy
faster than he manufactures it-would
get into the habit of stretching out and
completely relaxing when they begin to
>feel fatigued, and give nature little
. chance to recharge the magnetic and
nervous batteries, we shouldn't need to
worry about the lack of insane asylums.
These ought to be obvious facts. Per-
haps we ignore them because they are
obvious, and because to find out about
them costs us nothing except siege of i'll
ness or a ruction in the family. II nervous
and physical conservation were something
one could take in pill, we'd all be falling
over one another to get supply.
But we spend large amounts of AL
vitality in soul-racking worry, rapid-fre
nervous explosions, and fatuous over
exertion. And then we wonder why adult
longevity is decreasing! We wonder why
we have to make an involuntary assign
ment in physical bankruptcy at forty live

or fifty, when we should have plethoric
surplus in reserve.
Not all energy dissipation, however,
lies within our own preventive power. An
incalculable amount of waste occurs be-
cause our eyes are too civilized-because
we are overworking weakened external
eye muscles sixteen hours day too long.
Nervous exhaustion, epilepsy, stomach
trouble, rheumatism-and even such
grave diseases as goiter, diabetes, and
Bright's disease cured by correcting
unbalanced ocular muscles.
Flat Foot as an Energy obber
ALSO, we pound a lot of energy out of our
systems by decorating our heels with
two chunks of leather jammed full of large
and very unyielding nails. We pursue the
uneven tenor Of our ways over hard, un-
sympathetic pavements, jouncing our in
ternal organs into state of prolapsus and
mauling our sensitive backbones and deli
cate nervous systems at every step. A
pair Of springy rubber heels would take
the shock out of our systems.
Then, by wearing pointed shoes, we
twist our big toes out of their true
straightforwardness, and turn them in
toward the foot center. This foreshortens
the longitudinal arch, relaxing the tension
of the muscles and igaments forming that
arch, which in turn causes relaxation Of
the transverse arch muscles. This is the
chief cause of fiat foot, one of the meanest
energy-robbers that infests the human race.
To correct fiat foot, and prevent this
energy loss, it merely needs that properly
adapted, scientifically constructed shoes
be fitted and worn, and that suitable exer-
cises be taken for sufficient length of
time-although temporarily some me-
chanical arch support may be required.

THE PRICE OF GASOLINE

Before the advent of automobiles
in such great number the public
paid little attention to fluctuation in
the price of gasoline. 1t was in
small demand. In fact, its first
cousin, benzine, was used but little
the consumer usually buying it in
two-ounce vial which sold for 10
cents That was at the rate of five
or six dollars a gallon. Then came
gasoline's double first cousin, naptha.
1t was then that naptha launches
first came into use. Later came gaso-
line, and then followed automobiles,
alias the horseless carriage.
This caused a somewhat increased
consumption of gasoline, but the
price which was around % cents a
gallon was considered reasonable
enough Finally the price gradually
dropped to / or - cents and even
lower in some places, and the pub
lie became accustomed to this lower
price. Now that the price is crawl
ing up to where it is near that of
the early days, automobile owners
are beginning to pay more attention
to the cost of fuel.
The general belief has been that
the increased use of gasoline caused
! by the war is responsible for the
higher price, but government figures
made public Friday show that. in the
face Of the rising price of gasoline,
production of crude petroleum the
! past year was greater than in 1914,
although production was purposely
retarded as far as practicable and
the reserve stocks Of crude petrol
cum is now the greatest ever known.
In the meantime exports of gasoline
in 1915 were less than in the year
before.
This would indicate a large in
crease in home consumption which
could not be met to advantage ex-
cept through an increase in price
! The increased demand will nc
doubt not only be permanent but
will still further increase. The pros
pect is, however, that the price will
continue higher no longer than ad.
justment can be made to new con.
ditions. The supply of crude pc.
troleum is abundant and inexhausta.
BILE. and the time promises to come
again soon when the price will be re.
duced and when auto owners car

EVIDENTLY LIKES HIS PORK
Boys Euloey Of the Pig Reads az II
II Had Come From His
Heart.

Teachers in Bury have recently
been asking their scholars to write
essays on animals, In view Of the
Royal Lancashire agricultural show
which has been held. and the county
is chuckling over the following de-
scription of the pig. which emanates
from a secondary school:
"A dirty. grovelling mass of flesh,
grunting and wallowing in the mud
with which its sty is copiously sup
piled. That is the subject of my es-
say. Who would imagine that useful
articles could be made frcm that dirty
skin, and that the flesh beneath it
could yield the most delicious flavors /?
In life the pig Is Of very little use.
and is often the cause Of a great deal
Of mischief. But for the pig to die is
to be born again into a sphere of
much greater utility. In life he is
often an object Of contempt; in death
he gains greatly in importance.
In few words will endeavor to
show how the dead animal can enter
into one day of our life. We rise in
the morning and utilize his bristles to
brush our hair and our clothes For
breakfast we have crisp, savory
