What is health? From an aesthetic
standpoint. health is beauty; from COM
mercial standpoint. health is efficiency;
from a metaphysical point Of view, health
Is happiness. A philosopher has said:
Health is the workingman's fortune; It
lightens the efforts of body and mind and
enables a man to crowd much work into
a narrow space" The poet says, Health
is that which makes the soul take de-
light in her mansion, sporting herself at
the easement of your eyes"
The hard and fast medical man tells
US that health is the absence of disease.
But more and more Is the broadm!nded
physician getting away from disease and
teaching prevention and the gospel Of
health The so-calIed modern thinker.
be he physicist. pure scientist. or a spe-
cialist In the various health propaganda
OF the day, declares that Health is a
condition or sequence Of harmonious VI
bration."
The idea Of vibratory force has caught
the popular imagination and one hears
a good deal about IL on all sides. 1t is
not new. nothing is new. but today every
thing is being CommerciaIiZed The
ancients recognized and were satisfied
to sing about the vibrant force Of nature
as THE music of the spheres" We speak
of this mysterious power whence comes
all our energy as electricity and apply
It to our daily lives We commercialize
it by making 1t serve as in a hundred
benefcent ways, and notably doxwe APP
ply it to overcome physical liabilities
such as mere and muscle troubles, skin
affection nd tie like.
We call this great vibratory force cleo
tricity, but We do not know what It is. and
some day we may have to reconstruct
our theories concerning 1t; but just now
we do know that We, as individuals, form
a part of and live more or less In har-
mOnious vibration with 1t. This great
fact is sufficient for most OF US, but we
should not fail to understand that by
means of 1t we can gradually subdue
our bodily and mental ills and develop
the best that is in US physically, so at
tanning degree OF vibrant force, Of ra-
dtant health in other words, by means
OF which we become a delight to the eye
of every behoder
Those who are enthusiastic on this sub
ject like to refer TO Theodore Roosevelt
as a shining example of vibrant force,
one In whom body and mind are perfectly

DAVID BELASCO.

When Ada Rehan died a few months
ago her notices revived encomiums for
Augustin DAILY.
A paper referred to him as the last
noted theater manager of this country
Since his day there have been successful
speculators In amusements and real es-
tate"
To speak of DAILY as the last theater
manager OF this country is to use the
term as Mark Twain did when Tom Reed
once asked him II he had read his last
speech. II hope So" replied Mark.
To speak Of DAILY as the last theater
manager OF this country is to be indif-
ferent to a gentleman who is now at the
height of his activities in Forthyfourth
street, New York; who never has been
a Spectator in amusement" who has
not been interested in real estate; who
has contributed one of the Few definite
ideas to the American stage. and who. in
his age and generation. towers above his
contemporaries as DAILY did in his
l count that man great who can add
the smallest recognizable quantity to
the wealth OF an art. II AuGustin DAILY
Is great 1t is because he left a richer
and fuller art OF dramatic presentation
than he found.
This he was enabled to do at a mo-
ment in American dramatic history when
people were sympathetic and intent upon
the serious and solid things Of the stage
"a moment when dramatic interest was
not effected by the ingenious Mr.. ZieG-
field and his Follies or by the walk and
wiggle of Mr.. Chaplin.
David Belasco has not found the
stage set so favorably. He meets
with not only the film and the girl
show" but with the bedroom scene
drama as well. He is forced to COM
petc each season with a handful of
sickly sex plays. Yet he has emerged
chaste. In the face of this opposi-
tion. such as Daily never knew. he has
given us our best examples OF power,
the play of fancy and the play of
color.
Mr.. Belasco is the last gentleman
in the world who would care to read
that his name had been used to assail in
the slightest manner the position of
Augustin Daily. Nor is that my pur-
pose.
But in justice to one who, too, will
leave the American stage finer,
worthier institution than he found II,
because Of his own labors. it should
be recorded that Augustin Days name
did not end the list Of ornaments to
our theater-securely and properly
and in an equally unrestricted sense
must be added that OF David Belasco

Home Care of Childish Hurts.
BY FRANCES MARSHALL

There are many childish hurts that can
be adequately and safely treated at home
IL the wise mother knows Just what to
do. They are not serious enough for the
attention Of a physician and yet they
must not be neglected nor treated ignor-
antly.
With the first signs of ivy poisoning,
or even IL there is any suspicion that
the susceptible child has been near the
plant, battle the hands and face in a
weak alkaline solutions teaspoonful OF
soda to a quart of water. Bathing with
limewater or fresh cream Is also very
healing. For intense pains doctors some
times add small portion OF laudanum
to the alkaline washes, but for a child's
use this had better be omitted, for the
least carelessness in leaving the bowl
where small hands could get at 1t might
cause serious consequences.
Children are always liable to mashed
fingers, and such hurts. as everybody
knows, are overwhelmingly painful For
first treatment of the little finger, seize
upon a clean towel. dip 1t in boiling
water, wiring, and wrap the end about
the injured digit. II a nall is lost by the
hurt, the tip of the finger should be dip
ped In melted wax-not boiling hot of
course-several times till 1t is coated over,
which will protect the place while en-
couraging the growth of a new nail.
Any scratching with rusty instruments,
cuts or bruising that breaks the skin
calls for antiseptic washes before other
treatments. for II any soil is left about
the wound blood poisoning. eryslpelas
or lockJaw are terrible things that may
follow.
A solution of boracic acid, or a bottle
of peroxide is a good antiseptlc to have
about the house.
Green soap baths are at all times good
when there is an infectious disease in
the house.
Get the soap in liquid or paste form,
rub the small bodies all over with 1t and
rinse of in the usual way.

Answers to Queries

Lberal-A weak throat can be hard
ened by gargling frequently with very
cold water-salt water is better-and
dashing cold water on the neck until the
skin is red. incidentally, whether used
for sore and weak throat or not, very
cold water will harden the tissues In this
situation and do much toward reducing
a double chin and building up relaxed
muscles.
Fedora: Devote ten to fifteen minutes
each night before retiring to the toilet Of
your face, and you will soon note a great
improvement Apply the following
cream. which must be thoroughly rubbed
in to prove effective: OIL Of sweet al
mOnds, 1-2 ounce; boraric acid, 20 drops
tincture of benzoin, 10 drops; lanolin,
ounce.

 The Guardian says that plans for submarines of 5000 to 4,0O0 tons exist ed in Germany and England before the war but that such vessels were not built because of the time required to submerge them and the impossibility of submerging in shallow water.
