So with the innumerable victims Of hyster1a,
that most singular of all diseases with symptoms
ranging from mental disturbance to every imag1n-
able bodily ill-blindness, paralysis, pseudo
tumors, and what not. Perhaps totally tncapac1-
tated, these sufferers drag out most miserable ex-
istence.
Dire is the outlook for them and for all neuras-
themes and psychasthenes unless they can anord
a specialists fee, or unless their disorder is so
loosely rooted to be curatively affected by some
non-medical healing agency-such as the reading
of Christian Science or New Thought literature.
They not patients suitable for general hospital
and the only special hospitals where they could De
helped are high priced.
This situation must be changed. In an age
when functional nervous disease is recognized to De
widespread, and by many is held to be on the in
crease, it is disgrace, it is socially criminal, 10
leave the nervous poor to shift for themselves
Every municipality of any size-certalnly an
cities of twenty-five thousand population and W.
ward-ought to have free hospitals for the tunc-
tionally nervous Also the state ought to estaDlsh
rural sanatoriums with ample grounds Tor the OUT
door work and play that mean so much IN the con
quest of nervous troubles.
In the meantime the wealthy who are philan-
thropically inclined can here find scope for the
ercise of really helpful benefcence. Even the
dowment of rooms in private sanatoriums will mark
a forward step of great Importance
Apart from the suferngs of the nervous poor,
consider the economic burden their incapacity i'm
poses on the nation. 1t is burden that be
lightened and should be lghtened, by state action,
by municipal action and by the action Of good cti-

Requisites of Site
For the ArnOr Plant.

The board appointed by the Secretary of the
Navy to recommend a site for the Governments
armor-plate plant will consider the claims of the
nineteen contesting cities basis of these con-
trolling factors: first strategic location with
respect to military defense; second, proximity of
material, particularly iron and coal; third
transportation facilities: fourth, water power.
There many sites which would be desirable
if judged by only two, or even by three, or
these conditions. Numerous cities, besides being
suitably located for purposes of military defense;
have adequate transportation facilities. Not few
meet both these requisites and also have ample
water power resources. But when the further con-
dtion of accessibility to iron and coal and other
raw materials arises, the number of eligible points
begins to dwindle fast. IL less apparent that
points which might be desirable regards raw
materials would be wholly undesirable in other
particulars When it was announced that the Gov
eminent armor-plate plant would be built, more
than two hundred cities throughout the United
States asked to be considered for its location.
Only nineteen stood the preliminary. test that en-
titled them to further investigation.
Seven of the nineteen in the South; and
while all the Southern points offer substantial in
ducements, pre-eminent among them, as we see it,
is Rome Rome's superiority lies in the fact that it
combines all the essentials of an armor plant site,
and combines them to extraordinary degree.
Not onlyis it sufficiently remote from the coast
10 meet every strategic need it is sufficiently &C
cessble to the Atlantic and the Gulf to meet every
practical need
1t is at the center of a great iron and coal dis
trict, so that abundance of raw material would
be within easy reach.
Its transportation facilities wholly ade-
quate.
It's available water power could run several
such plants as that which the Government is to
build.
For safety, economy ahd all-round efficiency
Rome presents the ideal site. Its claims based
not simply on obvious facts and conditions but
also on scientific surveys. It's delegation in
Washington is backed by the testimony of eminent
engineers and is supported by the Georgia Senators
and Congressman as we'll as by the civic and bust
ness bodies of the entire State. But Rome's chief
hope rests on the broad merits of its cause 1t is
on that basis that any city should be selected
and it is on that basis that the Georgia city de-
serves to win.

A good idea of how much room you must have to-

kept twenty-five by two hundred feet Thus
your hens might be kept in runway Of one-third
this size. However, for good results should have
a somewhat larger area divided into two runways
While the chickens occupying the other should
be in wheat, oats some other quick grow

four during the growing season, the chickens

The government experts recommend that the small

On Innovations

1t is true that what is settled by custom,
though it be not good, yet at least it is fit; and
those things which have long gone together are,
as it WERE confederate with themselves where
new things piece not so well; but, though
they help by their utility, yet they trouble by
their inconformity. Besides, they like
strangers, more admired, and less favoured.
All this is true, If time stood still; which con-
trariwise moveth so round that a froward reten-
ton of custom is turbulent thing as in
novation; and they that reverence too much old
times, but a scorn to the new. 1t were good,
therefore, that men in their innovations would
follow the example of time itself; which indeed
innovateth greatly, but quietly, and by degrees
scarce to be perceived; for otherwise, whatsoever
is new is unlocked for: and ever it mends some,
and pairs Others and he that is holpen takes
it for fortune, and thanks the time; and he
that is hurt, for wrong, and imputeth it to the
author-Lord Bacon.

One Hundred Million a Day.

From the beginning of the to the latter
part of 1916 the national debts of the principal bel
ligerents increased, in the aggregate forty-nine
and half billion dollars This is the estimate of
the Federal Reserve Board, based on information
from reliable sources, and is probably nearer the
facts than any summary of the kind yet published
The Board is careful to state however, that its
figures merely approximate and by no means
the entire cost of the war, large revenues
of undetermined amounts having been raised by
internal taxation. Furthermore, the estimate in
cludes only the five leading nations involved
Great Britain, France Russia, Germany and Aus
tria-Hungary. No account is taken of the ind-
vdual expenditures of Italy, Bulgaria and the lesser
States, of the property destroyed and the lives
consumed FOrty-nine and half billion dollars is
only a conservative financial statement of a cost
which in all its items, economic and human, never
can be reckoned.
Yet. how vast that sum is! 1t is computed that
all the of the Nineteenth century twenty
six billion dollars-hardly more than half what two
years and few months of the present conflict has
cost. The New York World aptly remarks that
before the outbreak of this opponents of great
ornaments deplored the fact that the principal ma
tions were spending three billion dollars year for
military purposes; but they spend that much
every month.
And the debt continues rising at the rate
of one hundred million dollars day!

GEORGE GRAY BARNARD'S LINCOLN-By Dr. Frank Crane

the simple courage, the unblurred vision that you
know was his, suddenly the ungracious figure seems
transformed as by divine indwelling light, and
you are hard indeed if your heart does not melt
within you, if feeling almost of worship does not
subdue you.
There come to you those words, spoken of an
other yet applicable without rreverence to all who
in their way and day follow his example:
who hath believed our report, and to whom is
the arm of the Lord revealed?
For he shall grow up root out Of a dry
ground; he hath no form comeliness; and when
we shall see him there is beauty that we should
desire him. -
Therefore will divide him portion with the
great and he shall divide the spoil with the strong
because he hath poured out his soul unto death.
We have the feeling that at last art has caught
the spirit of democracy. 1t has interpreted the
great democrat.
This is the art that is not the plaything of mil
ionaires, the amusement of idle mobiles, the fancy
of privilege, and the whim of culture this is the
art that rises to it's full strength and beauty the
servant of ALL the forthputting of nations soul,
the art crooks the pregnant hinges of the knee
to no sceptre except that of the sovereign people.

T%ODAY want to say word In behalt OF large
class of unfortunate people for whom no
adequate provision is at present made-peo-
pie of small financial means who have become al
hicted with functional nervous disorders of one
another
For many of these disorders expert treatment
of very special kind is required. For others, vir-
tualy all that is necessary is a change in environ
ment, with attention details of dieting, exercise
ventilation, and habits of thought.
In neither does the patient who is poor get
a fair chance for treatment. There are hospitals
for the insane poor there for the function
ally nervous.
Yet the latter far exceed in number the insane
poor And their sufferings very real, whatever
the form their nervous disorder takes.
Even in the simplest cases of mild neurasthe-
MIA mental torture amounting to agony may be
who falls a victim to hysteria to psychasthenia
with its strange obsessive fancies.
Picture to yourself the torment that must be
felt by a man or woman obsessed by a morbid fear
of disease and driven by this fear to all manner OF
peculiar acts means of avoiding infection.
There are hundreds of people thus obsessed
In many cases the afflicted ones incessantly
wash their hands. l have had people write to me-
declaring that they wash their hands as often as
hundred times day.
Still more numerous the people who, tor
mented by secret fears Of disaster Detailing them,
refuse to so outdoors to stay alone in a closed
room. For these unfortunates life holds little
happiness.

The Hitchcock Resolution.

II was exceedingly unfortunate that Senatorial
politics thrust itself into a diplomatic situation
so delicate as that involved in President Wilson's
recent suggestion to the warning Powers.
The President himself acted with great circum-
spectness. He at pains to assure the beIliger-
ents that he approached them in no spirit of infer
ference that he not proposing peace nor even
offering mediation but merely proposing that
soundings be taken in order that we NAV learn. the
neutral nations with the beIIigerent how near the
haven of peace may be-" As the executive head of
the United States Government and It's authorized
spokesman in foreign affairs, Mr. Wilson could
make this proposal with thorough proDrierv.
and there is reason to infer that he knew his
ground well-certainly better than anyone outside
the State Department could know it-before pro-
ceedng.
But with the Senate, circumstances were quite
different The Senate is not the State Department
albeit some Of its members appear to labor under
rhat -delusiOn II the ratification or rejection of
treaty were in qucss>S- il some legislative issue
to be determined, the Senate would have a
proper field for action. But the Presidents sug-
gestion to the begerents was wholly and directly
matter for diplomatic treatment.
Once however. the resolution. wisely or unwise-
ly came before the senate its passage became a
necessity because failure to have sustained the
president dicisively would have been misconstrued
home and particularly by the people of the bel
Hgerent nations The injection OF partisanshp into
the discussion by Senator Lodge made il mpera tive
that the resolution be passed promptly.
While the resolution itself was unnecessary the
decisive vote by which it passed the senate demon
strates conclusvelv that the country is unmisrak-
ably behind the president in his effort to secure
terms OF peace from both sets of belIigerents.

For Thirty-Sepen Cents a Day.

One of the less heroic but not less remarkable
distinctions of the United States navy is the fact
that it feeds its at average daily cost of
thirty-seven cents a man. From prevailing prices
of food it might be inferred that this could be
accomplished only by adopting a ration like that
which Mr.. Bundle doed out to Oliver Twist.
On the contrary, the men fare wholesomey and
we'll. For breakfast, they have beefsteak, hom-
my French fried potatoes bread, butter and cofee
for dinner, roast veal, creamed potatoes, lima
beans fruit, bread, butter and coffee; for supper,
liver and bacon, hashed brown potatoes, bread and
butter, cake and tea The menu is varied, of
course, from day to day. and Sundays roast
chicken is served. II can assure you the Sur
geon General recently wrote the Paymaster Gen
eral, that no navy in the world is we'll fed as
that of the United States" The praise appears
altogether warranted.
When it is reflected that in the last two years
there has been an advance of five per cent in the
cost of twenty-six of the commonly used articles
of food, it seems almost incredible that within the
period the navy has maintained its food
standards and also effected appreciable reduc-
ton in its food bill. But that is the fact Says
Secretary Daniels in his latest annual report:
There has been a decrease of over half
cent in the daily cost of the ration per man
during the year. Taking into consideration
the rise in the provision market, this means
that the comparative cost of subsistng the
navy during the past two years was something
over thousand dollars day less than for
the two-year period preceding the European
war;"
The Secretary's only explanation of this eco
nomic achievement is 1.-THE greatest care and I'M
RENTING attention." together with certain changes
in the manner of administering the commissary
department, which not given in detail. Gov
ernmental institutions have reputation of being
run much less economically than private business,
but here is from which the canniest housewife

George Gray Barnard has laid all Americans,
and all the world, under obligations by creating in
bronze a heroic statue of Abraham Lincoln.
At first thought nothing seems further from art
than Lincoln. Is not art a thing of Europe and of
ancient days? Does it not belong to Florence and
to kings? Is it essentially aristocrac. rooted
in venerable traditions, naughty, and exclusive in
the spirit of both its devotees and its patrons?
And Lincoln! Sangamon county, Illinois

Yet all that you have in Barnard's bronze-and
il is art. He has caught the spirit of the common
man, with pride of ancestry nor power OF pos
session-just man, with only such courage, wis
dom, and beauty as nature pours into her daily
moulds of clay.
His frame is gaunt, ungainly; his hands and
feet are big his face is not decately fine; 1t is IL

Will Air Power Win the War?

To-day, admittedly, Germany and her al
lies have land power Great Britain, with
her allies, has sea power If the Allies can
secure air power if they more than equal
in their aerial offensive on the western line
the air fleet of the enemy, then, competent
military observers predict, the land power of
the Central Empires be dissipated. The
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
There has been much speculation concerning
the possible surprises that may be sprung when
winter melts and full-sinewed fighting is resumed
on the western front The impression prevails
that the Allies will strike more skillfulIy as we'll
as more powerfully than ever before and will pro-
duce some weapon device that will prove as
distinctive of their side the U-boat is of Ger
manys The so-called tanks" which the British
introduced last summer much more than a
nine days wonder, and the German "gas" was
nothing to be laughed at. But neither of these
surprises capable of giving anything like
decisive turn to a campaign. The next thing to be
sprung by the Allies, says, will be of really
far-reaching effect.
And it may be from the air rather than on land
that the new blow will be struck. Although flying
machines have played an important part in the
war; their service has been confined for the most
part TO reconnaissance, only now and then being
turned to purposes of actual offense But now
come hints of new fleets of fghters-"battle-
planes that can fly at the rate of one hundred and
forty miles an hour and that can ascend to fifteen
thousand feet in and half minutes" If the
Allies can win air mastery overwhelming as
virtually to eliminate make Intellectual the air
force of the enemy, they will have gone a long
way toward breaking the deadlock of trench war
fare and making possible swift. decisive stroke
