This sort Of thing is all very well
for some people. The extra % Of a
cent distributed over 100000 quarts
Of milk will soon buy a fine new
yacht for some one. The extra dol
lar ton on coal has helped to make
Palm Beach, Fla, a lively place. The
large dividends on American Sugar

ward buying some one a new auto

Increase for milk after April 1. I am
glad of it, for the farmer works hard.
The dairy farmers should share in
the profits of high prices for farm
products as well as the fortunate
man who has hogs to sell. As 100
pounds of milk is about 38 quarts,
the farmer gains about 1-3 of cent
a quart on what he produces. In or

The coal man wins a wage increase
amounting to 80 cents on a ton of
coal That is a good thing. Coal
mining is hard work. The cost Of
living for the miner is going up just
as it is for the rest of us. do not
grudge him his 30-cent increase. But
the price of coal rises from 81 to SO
a ton to pay for the miners 80 cents.
Vegetables are way up in price
and canned goods are rs per cent
higher in price than last year at this
time. Since the war has cut off the
best sugar crops, it was but natural
for the price of beet sugar to go up.
Then read in the financial section
of the papers that sugar has the best
year on record and earns 10 per cent
on common.

According to the bible, Christ was

who were told to discard riches in

Times have changed quite a bit
since Christ was on earth, as His

ILL-TREATMENT-I am a work
ing girl who works in a shop to make
living. For the past few weeks my
health has been poor. The doctor 1
visited advised me to drop my work
a couple of months to take a rest in
one of the sanitariUms - otherwise
my days would be numbered.
My earnings in the sweatshOps
during the busiest times amounts to
only enough to pay my living ex-
penses. l lacked funds to pay for
sanitarium, so urged my friends
to seek aid for me through the char
tiles. With a letter of recommends
ton from the Jewish Aid society, on
March IA, l went to the West Side
medical dispensary for medical ex-
animation.
The examiner was DR.. SChOOlman.
Aside from his medical duties, he
acted as gendaTme for the old Rus
sian regime. AngTily he asked why
l wore my hair short. l could not see
what this had to do with his duty as
doctor. l answered, however, that
my hair was falling out
He apparently was Unsatisied
with my answer, for he approached
me and pulled my hair in a most in
sUlting manner.
Don't tell me stories about your
hair sickness" he said. 81 know you
are an l. w. W."
When he noticed I was surprised
at his discovery, he added:
Don't you know the L w. W., the
nihilists, are all wearing short hair
and are dressed like yOu2" etc

LIMBS MADE OF CARDBOARD
Artificial Leg, Invented by Danish Doc tor, Enables Wearer to Walk Soon
 After Amputation.

A Danish doctor at hospital in Paris has invented \ cardboard leg which enables the wearer to go about without crutches two days after his limb has been amputated.
 The materials used are two sheets of cardboard about three sixteenth of an inch thick. and bandages soaked in Il starch solution. After careful meas urements have been taken the card board Is cut into what looks like two peg-tops, which after being soaked in the bath fold round each other and are secured with bandages.
 The principle is that of an egg in a cup. and the patient can wear the leg long before the wound is completely healed. He can thus get air and exer- else, which it is usually impossible to obtain at this phase of. his convales cence; also he has to suffer none of the inconyeniences of crutches. stick sufficing for his needs. The leg. prop erly treated, lasts from six months to year, by which time d permanent artificial limb is ready to be fitted.

Bumper crops in. New Jersey are being put on wheels and rolled right into the city markets, fresher and faster this year than ever before, and for the first time since the grow ing of perishable products became an extensive industry in the state the farmers feel themselves to some de gree independent of railroad schdules and freight rates.
 Motor trucks have solved the prob- lem of fast delivery for Jersey farm CTS. Hundreds of big cars. some of them with Il carrying capacity of sev eral tons, have been put on the roads between the farms and markets this season.

HOW INSANITY HAS GAINED
Increase in United States Revealed by Census Taken by National Com
 n1ittee for Mental Hygiene.

Insanity in the United States is de cidedly on the increase. This fact is revealed by reason of a census taken of the insane. feeble-minded, epileptics, inebriates and drug addicts by the National Committee for Mental lily giene. Analysis of this census is found in the Mental Hygiene. It was com piled by Horatio M Pollack, statfstici- an of the New York State Hospital commission, and Edith Nj. Furbush, statistician of the National Committee for Mental Hygiene.
 The federal census bureau estimates that the increase of population from April 15, 1910, to January l, 1917, was 11.S0 per cent. The same government agency found in 1910 that the number of insane in institutions was 1S7, ,791. . The census taken in the present year revealed 234,055 insane persons in in stftudons. Thus the increase in the spending period was 24.64 per cent, a growth more than double that of the general population.
 Moreover, the rate of increase of the insane in institutions was relatively greater than that of the general popu- latfon in every state except Arizona, Kansas. Mississippi. Nevada and South Carolina. Illinois is one of the states in which the disparity between growth of population and increase in insanity has been greatest. In this state the population increase was 9.S4 per cent. as compared with a percentage of increase of insane in institutions of 27.3S. The neighboring state of Indi- ana shows an even greater disparity, with percentages of 4.64 and 27.44 re- spectively.

Little Rock
 The first month of actual construc- tion at Camp Pike made a new record for that period in cantonment building, according to officials at Lit tie Rock. One of the largest of the major cantonments for the new na- tional army, and one of the last on which work was begun, it has been announced as more than 50 per cent completed. and the work is still going forward with a rush.
 It was not until July 16 that the tracks of the Missouri Pacific reached the reservation from Little Rock. Previous to that date, what little ma terial could be obtained was hauled from the city in trucks and wagons, and practically no work on the can tonment proper was done. Since that time the reservation has been cleared of its growth of trees and brush. streets have been laid out and graded, hundreds of buildings erected and electric light, water and sewer sys- tens installed. Eight companies of soldiers are living in barracks. and comfortable quarters are found for thousands of laborers in buildings to be occupied later by Uncle Sam's troops.
 More than l, 200 men are employed on the water and sewer line alone, and the work goes on night and day, the mon working at night under search lights and travelling string of incan- descents supplied by dymnamo that moves along the trenches as the work proceeds. Huge trench-digging ma chimes and air-compressor drills as- sist in this work the whole "A hours through, and blasting goes on con- stantly.

 According to the plans as approved to date, the cantonment when complet- ed will contain 1,0e0 buildings, of which POS will be barracks, each 140 feet long and two stories high.
