So Die Every Minute.

The annual death rate Of the human
race is 33.000,000. That's $1,000 a
day. 3,7OO every hour, 81 every min
ute. One-half Of the human race die
before they are sixteen years old one
quarter of the human race die before
they are five years old. The average
length of human life Is thirty-three
and one-third years. Not one man or
one woman In million lives to be
one hundred years old. But don't let
this discourage you from taking as
good care of your health as If it were
a new motorcar.

LITTLE SALT IS IMPORTED
Practically All of 45,72C,860 Barrels
Consumed in Country in 1916 Pro-
duced at Home.

The domestic consumption of salt in
1916 was 45,72O,S6O barrels Of $50
pounds each, an increase of more
than 100000 barrels over the con-
sumption of 1915. According to statls-
flies compiled under the direction of r..
w. Stone of Uncle Sans geological
survey, the domestic production of salt
In 1916 was 45,449, 800 barrels, the i'm
ports were S7l 1872 barrels, and the ex-
ports 600,461 barrels. This was an
Increase of 10 per cent In the guam
t;ty produced. The total value of the
salt was S13,645,947.
Michigan, as usual was the largest
producer, and New York was close
second, The production, in barrels, by
the leading states was as follows !:
Michigan, 14,91S,27s; New York. A.
OS7,750; Ohio, 6,706, 1893; Kansas, 1854
1893; California, 1,124, 236.
Perhaps the most marked feature in
the salt industry in 1915 was the great
increase in quantity of brine sold as
such or used by chemical works, the in
crease being 81 per cent and the total
production over $4,000, 900 barrels. The
production Of rock salt increased over
II per cent and amounted to 1913, $50
barrels, valued at $2,665, 270. On the
other hand, the production Of evapo-
rated salt increased only per cent,
to 17.575,629 barrels, but the value
was So 149,412. an increase Of nearly
Is per cent.

OBLIGATION RESTS UPON THOSE AT
HOME AS WELL AS SOLDIERS At FRONT
BY REV. CHARLES STELZiE.

For those who cannot go to war-as
well as those who will go to the 'front.'
there Is distinct obligation to dedi-
cate themselves to the task of helping
on the great new brotherhood of the
world.
This brotherhood will be founded
upon the revolution which is sweeping
through every country on the globe.
and which Is working itself out through
the war. from the effects Of which no
nation can escape.
Nor can this movement for the broth
erhood of man be retarded by petty
hates and spites or by the ambitions
md intrigues of kings and cabinets and
the hearfless Vaccinations of con-
temptuous politicians.
For hundreds of years the race Of
men has been getting ready for this
world brotherhood And all the signs
point toward the fulhsment Of the
noble ideals which has been vaguely,
though persistently floating through
the henrts and minds Of those who.
each In their day and generation,
brought their contributions toward this
world democracy.
The Russia of hundreds Of years IS
no more--the car Is gone forever.
The Germany of generations has closed
itself into be opposed by every for
ward-looking nation. and by the larger
minded Germans themselves, until 1t
has been crushed for all time.
England - sef-conhdent, self-satIs-
fed, luxurious. with class spirit highly
developed--though sound at heart
has seen the need of closer and SIN
cerer cooperation with the wider-vis-
toned nations of earth.
France-licht-henrt and gay, often
careless-although 1t had the blood of
heroes and martyrs in its veins-can
never again be what it was.

Joins Marines Despite
Lack of Trigger Finger"

Because the loss of the ''trig-

enlistment, Walter Cogswell
Forse. aged nineteen, of Bing-
hamton. N. Y, walked all the
way from that city to Washing
ton to make personal applica-
ton TO the major general COM
mandant Of the United States
Marine corps. Forse carried a
sign on his back which read:
"From Binghamton, N. Y, to
Washington. D. c., to join the
q. S. Marines. It's Worth It"
Upon his arrival in Washing
ton young Forse proved that the
loss of the index finger Of his
right hand was no handicap in
the performance of military
duty, and special authority was
granted for his enlistment. So
far as is known, he Is the first
man, similarly handicapped, to
pass the military authorities.
