FROM THE PEOPLE
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
 Would like little space in your valuable paper to air our views on the very important subject of sanita- tion, and in so doing will perhaps fol- low lines a little outside the ordinary but will endeavor to present facts in- stead of theories
 We know that this little sphere on which we dwell is a very small speck compared with the mmensity of space, if in fact 1t could be compared at all
 The old time astronomers had a very narrow conception of the size shape and greatness of the universe They thought and taught that they could even number the stars. Our astronomers tell us the stars are numberless, that they can discern the twelfth star, one above the other We also know that our little earth is very filthy place at the best. The decay of animal and vegetable mat ter, together with the earcasses of animals now extinct, is sufficient to contamlnate it's entire surface.
 If we would look we'll to the we'll fare of the coming generations we would see to 1t that crematories and large reduction plants be erected ana would commit to the flames all ami nal and other waste of perlshable nature, and reduce them to ashes anC let the smoke and fumes ascend into boundless space. thereby purifying the earth and making it clear place in which to dwell.
 We can't afford to continue in the future as we have in the past iron the fact that as the earth becomes more thickly populated accumula tions of obnoxious materials become greater, hence such measures should be adopted as are warranted by the conditions. It has been said and wei said, that the past has it's lessons the present has it's duty and the flu ture has it's hope We live in tn, present only and should only live fol the future If we do our present duty the future will be secure. Tn, here and now claim all our efforts The then and there will take care ot 1 itself. When we come to think SC riously of what we drink and inhal, into our bodies isn't strange that w, l live at all?

 It is said that cleanliness is next to Godliness Granting this to be true, our duties are mapped out be- fore us, 10 improve our sanitary con ditions in all conceivable ways. though We depart from the old worn out paths now trodden many years too long

Fire is always the enemy of the human race, but, in war time, fire is traitor in camp, a foe in our trenches. Not only is the waste of food by fire an unmitigated calamity, but any fire waste is just that much of burden at time when the last straw may break the camel's back
 If Germany's fire waste were as great, or even half as great propor- tionately as that of the United States, the Teutons would be conquered people at this stage of the war In 1915, the only figures available, the fire loss of the United States was one 45th of the seven billion dollar war bond issue our government has just authorized And the staggering thing about it is that most of these fires were due to carelessness in one form or another Plain lack of fore sight and energetic prepardness a gainst the flames was responsible. Let every person put the premises un- der his control in condition to repel the attacks of the enemy fire, thrice hideous in war time.

THREATENED RAILROAD
STRIKE AVERTED.

By liberal and patriotic action Of
the managers of the leading railways
of the United States, the strike of
trainmen which had been called by
the head officers of the labor brother
hoods of railroad employees to begin
last Saturday evening was averted.
At a conference in which both
sides of the controversy and the ma
tional board of mediation were repre-
sented, it was agreed by the labor
leaders to postpone the strike forty
eight hours, and before the expira-
ton of this period, when deadlock
seemed imminent, the railway COM
pany heads announced that, in def
erence to the appeal of President
Wilson, and in order that the welfare.
of the country might not be leopard
lied at this critical time when war
with Germany is imminent, the de-
mands Of the ttrainmen for an eight
hour day woula be conceded, dating
from January !, 1917, and pay for
overtime at tn eight-hour rate would
be given. This was concession OF
all that the men had demanded, ex-
cepting the overtime rate, which they
had asked be fixed at fifty per cent
over the eight-hour rate.
The brotherhood leaders accepted
the proposition, however, and the
strike order was revoked.
On Monday the supreme court Of
the United States, by 5 to 4 deci-
sion, sustained the constltutlonality
