Mr. Daniel Webster Cole writes
home that his house in Boise City,
Idaho, is heated with hot water
from a natural geyser which is
brought in pipes and run through
the house as steam is introduced in
radiators. Mr.. Cole is delighted
with his magical method of keeping
comfortable. No furnace to think
about, no coal to buy no failure of
heat Beside that the water is soft
and soapy and just right for bath
ing and using in the kitchen and
laundry. The only fires they have
are the gas logs in the sitting room
fire place and in the gas range in
the kitchen. There are places in
the west where natural gas is con-
veyed into houses and used for
heat, light and cooking and the
expense is almost nominal. So
nature is kind to dwellers in tenn
perate zones as well as in the South
Sea Islands
Mr., Cole lives on Bannock street
which is named for the Indians who
once lived there.

Reasonable" Milk Prices
By DAVID LAWRENCE.

Milk and cream have gone up in price The reason
given is the heard with respect to other product
that into the cost of vnghe increased prices OF
materials COAL and wages Shortage of labor on the farm

selectve draft law has decreased production twenty-five
cents pint for and and eight cents pint 1or

costs in the milk business have increased the dairy farmer
will hardly be begrudged the increase As Dr. Woodward,
the Health Officer says the people will not object to paying
higher price for milk if they that the quahy
will be just there good deal OF doubt
about that.
The difficulty is however that the public has no way
of knowing whether the increase arbitrary based upon
an exact computation of the costs Simply to advance the
price of ones product because of expected dfcuty
with labor is ask the public to insure the dairy farmer
and the milk dealer against loss Such policy works

receive fixed incomes There ought to be increase on any
of the products that enter into the cost OF living without
careful consideration the part of the vendor Of the e

it is surely unpatrioc at this time and despca6y seish

The only thing that can be said
favorable to the Senate's action
in taking up and passing the Shep-
pard resolution for a prohibition
amendment TO the Constitution Is
that this was one prohibition move
ment which its supporters did not
attempt to blaclzmail through by at
tachinp it as a rider TO war leglsla-
ton. They allowed it to stand or
fall on its own bottom-ths only
straightforward thing the dry
forces have done in the present ses-
sion Of Congress.
But even that fades out Of the
reckoning when the sum Of the ma
ture and consequences Of the move
ment is cast up.
During all Of our nations life
time the regulation Of the manufae-
ture and sale of alcoholic liquors has
been left, where alone they belong
in our system of government, with
the various States. Why was this
particular time selected TO work SO
radical and far-reaching a revolu-
ton in that system?
Here Is q Congress suddenly called
together in extraordinary session to
do an extraordinary work; a work
which if done as the emergency re-
uuires would be a sight draft on the
energies of a Congress however pur-
pose-single and jealous, certainly
leaving It no time, if permitting any
disposition, to dissipate its activities
on other and irrelevant questions,
least of all to give precedence to the
disposition Of such questions over the
work which it was called to do.
That work is one which Congress
alone can do, and it is a work which
must be done if we are to save and
hand down to those who come after
US the freedom won and handed down
to us by those whose fortunate heirs
we are; the work of preparing our
country to assert its decisive power

kind and those who claim the super
man right to use mankind for their
own superior profit and pleasure, as
fodder for their cattle and fertilizer

from many Of our friends
under fire and in the war
zone we hear very often.
Time drags in the trench
es when actual fighting is not go
ing on. The officers like to write
and receive letters. One is both
touched and f1attered by their epis-
tolary attentions.
From one English officer, who,
during the first year of the war,
was in the front-line trenches be-
tween La Bassee and Bethune,
with eighty yards of beet field"
between him and the enemy, l
heard at least once fortnight.
His letters were long letters,
illustrated with pen sketches.
They gave me a far better picture
of the fighting line than any war
correspondent has shown me.
They described the valor of every
one concerned, except the writer.
They never mentioned his exploits
at all.
Hearing from some one else
that he had received the Victoria
Cross for great gallantry, re-
preached him for not telling me of
the honor. His reply to this was a
single line toward the end of his
long letter.
"Yes," he wrote, 81 was patted
on the head and called a good boy"
1t was a young Russian officer
who wrote me of the instantane-
GUS death Of his closest friend,
fighting by his side in a great bat
tie. His comment on the personal
effect of the tragedy was also con-
tanned in one line.
He wrote simply: ."For me his
death spoiled all the pleasure of
the day."
1t was, of course, a Frenchman
who described to me the sudden
outburst of a birds song during
lull in a battle.
"The birds are so used to the
noise" he wrote, that they sing
on, even while the guns roar. l

It is hard to comment in pariia-
mentary terms on this action Of men
sitting as the highest legislative
body of the foremost Of the worlds
republics-on this outrage to the
vital principles Of republicznism; this
recreancy to the most exalted Of pa
triotic duties to strengthen rather
than weaken the nation for war; the
miserable inadequacy Of the intelh-
| gence of the. set Of men to compre-
bend the great responsibility to
which they prove so false, or, con-
ceding their intelligence, their
shamelessness in their infidelity and
perfdy.
In this aspect of their action there
is no patience now to analyZe the
factors Of this disgusting proceed
! ing-the bald sophisms by which
men who knew better attempted TO
excuse their conduct; the trans
parent trickery Of the selfish poll
ticians; the pitiable cowardiee Of the

the neutrality-suspicious. of the per

would ram the love of God-theif

atty of the law.
Perhaps no better cap could 10
put on the sheaf Of the piebald con-
glomerate of motives responsible for
this thing than the confession Of
one of the culprits as set forth in
this paragraph of the press report
of the debate:
Senator Jones of Washington de-
clared that should Congress refuse
to give the people an opportunity to
act now on prohibition the Repub-
lican party, to which he belongs,
would have to declare for prohibit
ton because it would be necessary

There was, for example, "the

in Triest, Austria. She was the
wife of an officer on a steamship
line. After his death the company

looked like an empress, but she
worked like a slave. All the ships

I admitted that l had observed
this.
The Signora was supporting her
self. her old mother and her son,
fourteen. She told me much about
the mother and the boy. Busy as
she was, on duty eighteen hours a
day, she had her dreams. l hope
she is dreaming still. All that
know is that two years ago she
was at the front serving as field
nurse.
OF the long procession Of French
who pass before me in review the
most vivid figure is that of a clois-
tered nun-a woman of unusual
beauty and of great family. She
was allowed to take a brief daily
walk in a walled garden attached
to her convent. Here, many times,
l walked with her.
Once, in an expansive moment,
she made a gesture toward the
high encircling wall.
Nothing could drag me out
there" she said-"out there"
meaning the world. Then she
added, thoughtfully, Nothing but
pestilence or war. If war comes,
we 90 forth like the rest, and do
our duty"
Once only, since the war began,

had been taken and retalSen many
times. Her convent had been de-
stroyed. In its ruins she was nurs-
ing her enemies.
