THE FEAR THOUGHTS

We continually are assailed through
the press and from the pulpit and
platform by thoughts that make for
fear. Neither nation nor individual
can remain healthy in the face of this
continuous heraldry of fear. The re-
formers and the doctors are the worst
offenders; and the average legislator
falls over himself in assisting in Sc
curing legislation which we are assur-
ed will preserve our health. 1t is time
we had a rest. Let the reformers go
to work at any vocation which will
enable them to contribute something
tangible to the general good, and let
the doctors get down to sane practice
and horse-sense advice. Pertinent to
this view we quote from Christian
Science Sentinel:
"Cleanliness and all proper precau-
tions against insanitary conditions of
public and private property are high
ly desirable; but these may be secured
without promoting an epidemic of
fear such as is being engendered to-
day in the public schools, in the daily
press, and wherever men and women
are gathered who are willing to lis
ten to a Scientific discussion of the
horrors of disease. If the medical
education now being attempted is not
checked, we are in danger of imitat-
ing the ancient Egyptians, whose
chief aim during life seemed to be to
prepare to be properly buried. The
modern tendency to discuss the hu-
man body and it's frailties, and to
pass laws to regulate and control it
puts far too much emphasis on the
material side of existence, in the
opinion of many besides Christian
Scientists. It inculcates habits Of
thought that are fatal to health, anc
quite remote from the simple, sani.
tary advice of Jesus, who said, take
no thought for your body
That's mighty good doctrine. We
want to live to some purpose, and We
wish to live happily in health. The
iteration of fear thoughts is a menace
to peace, health and happiness. II
the graphic language of the slangist
they should be treated as the doctor
treats the offending appendix, the!
should be cut out. Give US happ!
thoughts, thoughts of hope and cour
age, bright, cheerful, pleasan
thoughts.

ORITUARY

Jennie Bartlett Dunham was born
in Holmesville, Holmes County, Ohio
on the 18th day of March, 1853. She
was united in marriage to Eugene
Durham on April Both, 1876, who pre-
ceded her to the great beyond on July
1st, 1909. She departed this life on
Jan. 10th, 1917 at the home of her
brother Mrs. Bartlett, of near Wau-
seon.
She leaves to mourn her loss two
brothers and one sister, Mrs. G. A
Hendrix of Ft. Wayne, Indiana, VIM
Bartlett of Wauseon, Ohio, Geo. Bart
lett, of Flagstaff, Arizona, besides q
host of relatives and friends. She was
always a good woman of many fine
qualities and we leave her in the care
of Him who called her to await the
morning of the resurrection.
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the
bar,
When I put out to sea.
But such a tide as moving seems
asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the
boundless deep
Turns again home
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of fare
well,
When | embark
For tho from out our bourne of Time
! and place
The flood may bear me far,
l hope to see my pilot face to face
When l have crost the bar.

MARKSMEN

Declarations that since the days of
frontier life have passed, Americans
are no longer entitled to their former
fame as rifemen are completely refut-
ed by statistics, say officers of the U.
S. Marines. These officers recently
compiled data showing that splendid
shooting qualities are still character
istic of American troops.
More than seventy-three per cent.
of the GAL members of the United
States Marine Corps who fired during
1916, on the fourteen Marine Corps
rifle ranges, are qualified skilled rifle
men, according to the table just COM
piled. Of these sea-soldiers, 921, OF
fifteen per cent. are expert rifemen;
1044, or seventeen per cent are
sharpshooters; and 2518, or forty-one
pre- cent. are marksmen.
1t is doubtful if Leatherstockine
himself could outshoot them, say the
Marines

MARINES WORK
IN HAITI PRAISED


The reconstruction work of the 4
United States Marines in Haiti pro-
vides one of the most thrilling and I
gratifying chapters in cOntemporane-
Gus American history" said the Ri .
Rev. Charles Blayney Colmore, bishop
of Porto Rico and Haiti who has been
at the Willard for several days on his
way home to Porto Rico from the con-
vention of the Episcopal Church re-
Gently held in st. Louis.
Americans can hardly visualize the
awful squalor, suffering and chaos
that existed in Haiti before its occu-
pancy by Admiral Caperton," continu-
ed the bishop, 'nor realize the extent
of the regenerating labors of the
! United States Marines during the
months they have been on duty there.
"The Marines have literally taught
the Haitians how to live decently. Be-
fore their coming sanitation, save in
the crudest and most unsatisfactory
forms, was unknown; fevers and cpl
denies were as plentiful as revolu-
tions, press gang was in vogue and
the country was the victim of continu-
Gus uprisings engineered by political
scoundrels, each of whom ravaged the
customs money drawers as each in
turn came into shortlived power
"The entry of the United States
Marines ended this sorry story. With
the wonderful facility and adaptabili-
ty for which the Marines are noted,
these advance agents of American
civilization so changed Haiti, that af-
ter they had been there four months
when l went on my annual visitation
to the island | hardly knew it to be the
same spot. 1t had been improved be-
yond my widest hopes. Sanitary sys-
TENS had been installed, the towns
had been cleaned up, former idlers and
revolutionists were working happily
for living wages and a new spirit was
animating the people. The United
States Marines quietly were at their
tasks as reconstructors of a nation
and efficient guardians of the Monroe
doctrine and peace makers of the
. Americas.
81 want the American people to rea.
lie what a big work is being done
\ there. Too little is known of it anC
the men who are doing it deserve the
praise and gratitude of the nation. Il
isn't a pleasant task to teach a peo
n pie how to govern straight, and the
MdIluC OlllCS1o llISn ISdllAS IIl1i
and yet go at it with stout hearts anC
high courage. They laugh at the hard
ships of the life. 1t is their duty anC

The statistics of crop production in
Wayne County, Ohio, as collected by
the township assessors, show that
during the 10 years, 1905-1914, the
average crop yield for the county
were 40 bushels per acre of corn, 81
bushels of oats, 10 bushels of wheat
and less than ton and half of hay.
During the same period the Expert
ment Station, which is located in
Wayne County, and on land not su-
perior in natural fertility to the aver
age of the county, produced II bushels
of corn, go bushels of oats, "a bushels
of wheat and more than three tons of
hay per acre.
An analysis of these data, recently
published by the Experiment Station,
shows that it would be possible to pro-
duce all the grain and hay now grown
in Wayne County on two-thirds the
area now devoted to these crops, and
at a very large annual saving in cost.

FALSE ECONOMY

That there may be an increase in
pellagra during the coming year on
account of the rise in the cost of food
stuffs is the fear expressed in a state
ment issued by the U. S. Public Health
Service to-day. AS a result of gov
ernment researches it was found that
pellagra is produced by an insufficient,
poorly-balanced diet and that it can
both be prevented and cured by the
use of food containing elements in the
proportion required by the body. The
application of this knowledge greatly
reduced pellagra in 1916 as compared
with previous years. This reduction
is believed by experts of the Public
Health Service to have been due to
improved economic conditions which
enabled wage earners to provide them
selves with better and more varied
diet and to a wider dissemination of
the knowledge of how the disease may
be prevented. 1t is feared, however,
that pellagra may increase in
1917 by reason of an in
crease in food cost out of proportion
to the prosperity now enjoyed by this
country. The great rise in the cost
of forage, particularly cotton seed
meal and hulls, is causing the people
in many localities to sell their cows
and thus there is danger that they will
deprive themselves of milk, one of the
most valuable pellagra preventing
foods. The high cost of living has
further served to bring about a reduc-
ton in many families in the amount OF
meat, eggs, beans and peas consumed
| I'll of 1ryLo1oI, IL
tics. In effecting economies of this
nature the general public should beal
in mind the Importance Of a properly
balanced diet and refrain from exclud
ing, if possible, such valuable disease
preventing foods. 1t is believed tha
unless this is done there will be {
greater incidence of pellagra mex
spring.

The Attorney General has been ask

Baker heir case now proceeding before
Toronto courts.
The application comes from the
Crown Attorneys department., which
made the arrests when the Baker heirs
assembled in Toronto.
The application has not yet been
dealt with, as the department requires
more particulars before issuing the
commission. The view in the depart
ment is that the evidence would, it is
estimated, involve a cost to the Pro-
vince of between $4,000 and $4,000,
and unless exhibits are filed which
materially strengthen the case the de-
partment will not be justified in issu-
