THE SAILORS PRAYER,

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep. \
I trust that no sailor will take
Ny shoes or sox before I wake.
Lord please guard me in my slumber
And keep my hammock and its num-
Der,
May no clues or lashings break
And let me down before I wake.
Keep me safe within thy sight
And grant no fire drills in the night.
And in the morning let me wake 4
Breathing the scent Of sirloin steak.
God protect me in my dreams
And make it better than it seems,
Grant that the time will swiftly fly
When. I myself, will rest on high
In snowy feather bed,
Where I long to rest my head;
Far away from all these scenes,
And the smell of half baked beans;
Take me back into the landN
Where they don't scrub down with
sand,
Where no demon typhoon blows, !.
Where the women wash the clothes.
God, thou knowest all my woes,
Help me in my dying stress.
Take me back, I will promise then
Never to leave home again.
Amen.

GO FREEZE YOURSELF.

IT has sometimes seemed that hayfeverites
in the grip Of their annual afflctlon were more
cut off from human sympathy than any other
class of sufferers from bodily ills. They are IN
variably lachrymose and woe-begone looking;
and whatever distinction Of appearance, grand
manner or beauty they may normally possess,
there is something common and even comcal
during the period of their discomfort. We're
they in serious danger their friends would feel
and show concern. But as it is, the popular at
titude towards them is one of hooking commls-
Grafton much what it would be towards an
overdsessed exquisite who has sat down by IN
advertance in pumpkin pie.
It is partly to escape the jeers and Jocoslty
of unfeeling persons that these lugubrlous sui
ferers flock away by themselves to the noun
tains or other places where the particular pol
len dust that is their bane is not to be found
Not all of them, however, can flee at the time
they would or know where immunity may be
obtained; and science now brings the hope to
these that their SORROWS and their sniffles, their
sneezing and their snuffles are at an end. All
they have to do is to refrigerate themselves for
thirty minutes or thereabouts a day, which may
conveniently be done by putting on wraps and
camping out in an icebox for a time. Of course
the point will be raised that not all victims
have such glaciating chambers to retire to; but
what is to prevent them sitting in with the
butchers meats until the hoar frost gathers on
their hair? Surely a half an hour of horrlplla-
ton is small price to pay for relief from
weeks of blear- eyed misery; and instead OF
wasting sympathy upon these fororn and dis
NAL sufferers the kindly suggestion may come
to be that they go and freeze themselves.

j. Ogden Armour proclaims as the
new ethics of big business that the
people have right to know the TACT

About the Price OF Meat" in an article
iii the September Is issue of Golfers.
He lays the responsibility for hign
prices on the advancing cost OF the
raw material and on the costly service
which American consumers demand
from their retail distributors. Ex-
cerpts from his article follow:
Meat is such an important item on
the American table, that its increased
cost has attracted attention and COM
ment somewhat of proportion to the
rate of advance"
Meat price increases are not due to
big profits, so far as the meat purvey'
ors are concerned > 1t is actually
a fact that the fresh meat from the
steer or hog or sheep, is sold by the
packer to the retailer at a figure which
often fails to pay for the raw product
that is the animal on the hoof. the
profits which enable packer to handle
meat at less than cost are due to the
utilization OF those portions of the ami
mails which until recent years We're
wasted or destroyed
1T is necessary that there be profit
in raising meat animals if the supply
is to keep pace with the demand The
world demand for food was never
greater than it is today. De
