removed by person unknown to

By A. R. GROH.

Today we shall ponder, fellow
beans, on the idiosyncrasy Of being
idiosyncratic.
Why do salute you as fellow
beans" Because we are all as much
alike as beans in bag.
This is addressed to men exclusive
". The ladies (whom, may Allah
prosper for 10000 years. are not
alike. They show individuality. They
wear all sorts of bizarre and beauti-
full things and colors. That is what
gives them their infinite variety, their
eternal charm.
But, we men! How barren are we
of idiosyncrasyl What somber same
ness marks us all! las alike as two
beans in a pod" That exactly de-
scribes US, poor, simple sheep that we

MEANING OF TIE WAR.

1t is no mere dream to sag this war
Is going to change all social, indus
trial and political conditions from top
TO bottom. The old indiyidualism, in
which everybody Is for himself and
nobody else. win have TO go. We are
going to have new era, in which
cooperation will step In and serve
every man according to his desserts,
says Ohio State Journal. This is a
radical suggestion, but it is a lesson
of the war. 1t is democracy carried
TO its logical result. There will be no
divinity. in kings or in anything else
outside Of a mans merit, his moral
worth and his noble personality.
There will be no classes to devour
other classes. Legislatures will not be
organized on the caste idea. No one
interest win try to outlaw another.
Disinterested public service will call
for new policy. No public Office will
be regarded as portion of party
spells. No political boss will be al
lowed to distribute the spoils to his
servants. Selfishness is no part of
democracy and it will be rooted out
when democracy gains its final vic
tory, which win not be long. People
may not be thinking as deeply as they
should, but the evolution proceeds all
the same.

People should be careful of the
words they use, for they often carry
more than the speakers meaning.
Even when we use a word with the
intention of giving it a wrong mean
ing, for some idle effect, the wrong
meaning is apt to stay with it. Neither
Friendship nor religion viii allow any
itrifing with words. 1t is ones duty
to give them their true meaning and
so put them in place that their truth
will be apparent. Many fine word
has been ruined by bad habit. There
is an art built upon the beauty of
mere words, and in every case that
beauty is concerned with the moral
import of words. So there is a real
virtue in talking clear and clean and
In making the truth of remark as
musical as a harp, says Ohio State
journal. This can only be done by
suppressing those little storms of dis
lpute and ilI-will that so easily break
out into passion and angry words. We
think that the happy, useful, noble life
finds no truer influence than in gen.
tie, tuneful words that have charm
after the sound is gone.

10 the food supplies as result is not
determinable, but experts say about
100 100000 bushels are used by the
distilleries each year, of which about
40 100000 bushels are used in whiskey
manufacture.
Customs officials throughout the
Country will seize all imporsa-
tons of spirituous liquors reaching
the United Statess Officers of the
internal revenue bureau throughout the
country will see that distlleries make
no more whiskey.
Distillers may continue manufactur-
ing alcohol for commercial purposes
and many of them have arranged for
this work, others turning their dis
tillerdes into manufacturing plants for
yeast, vinegar and by-products
Stocks of whiskey in the country
undoubtedly are larger than they ever
have been because of active prepare
ton by distilers and dealers in an
tic.pat on of the law DistileIs have
been working at utmost capacity and
imports have been larger than ever.
Officials estimate the quantity of
whiskey in bonded warehouses to be
about 19O,0O0,O00 gallons. Stocks moi
in bond will bring the quantity on
hand in the country up to about
23O 100000 gallons. The annual pro-
duction of whiskey has been

While this country may excel in
competition of trained athletes or in
certain kinds of mental ingenuity or
shrewdness, it is certain that the av-
erage man is far from being picture
of perfect physical development and
ithe lack of self-control and the ex-
IRENE contempt for the law of the
American have become proverbial,
says New York Medical Record. A
casual inspection of the crowds on the
streets of anyone of orr large cities
will reveal pale, under-nourished and
poorly developed youths and pasty,
l1abby men in large numbers, and viii
convince the open-minded observer of
the desirability for the individual Of
some form of regular physical train
ing. That the country-bred, moreover,
are not greatly superior to those
brought up in the city has been the ex-
perience of most military men who
have had occasion to handle large
numbers of troops.
