WAR AIDS GENERAL HEALTH
Sight Of Sturdy Soldiers and Sailors
on the Streets Declared to Have
Had Good Effect.

An observing physician says that
the presence In New YOrk's streets Of
many soldiers and sailors has an indi-
rect effect on the health Of civilians.
He believes that most persons become
initiative when they see one of Uncle
Sans men with head erect. shoulders
back and chest thrown out. The natur-
al result is deep breathing. and from
this comes improved digestion and cir
culation. thus causing better health.
The doctor called attention to the
fact that Poe in pointing out the psy-
Geological effect of one person on an
other In regard to acts and manner
isms said he could figure many
thoughts of persons in the streets by
watching their actions. AS an Illus
tration, Poe told of a man hurrying
along in a slOuchy manner until he ap-
preached hunchback, when he i'm
medlately Strengthened, the similarity
Of carriage causing an unconscious
effort at the instant the hunchback's
misfortune was flashed to the brain
Of the normal man.
Still another influence affecting the
general health of the public, due to the
war, is the increased number Of patri-
otto men who have gone into training
after rejection by army or navy sur|
geOns due to minor physical disability.
Others, too. have undergone lesser sur
gical operations, long neglected, SO
that they might pass.

BODY MERE TOOL OF SOUL
Spiritual Part Of Humanity Believed
In the East to Be an Unwilling
Prisoner.

In the East 1t II supposed that
dreams are the actual happenings to
the soul when 1t leaves our body while
we are asleep. They believe that the
soul Is an unwilling prisoner within us,
and the moment we relax our vigil In
sleep 1t leaves the body to attend to
Its own affairs and some Of us pos
sess the faculty Of commanding the
soul at a given hour when we wish to
awake.
From this originates the theory of
heaven and hell. When the long sleep
comes at last and the soul is bodyless
It must find some sort of lodging, and
this lodging Is meted out according to
the conduct Of the body In which the
soul was tenant. The body is not
taken into consideration. since 1t. is
only the tool Of the soul. Therefore
the soul is held accountable.-Ex-
change.

Teaching Children Natural History.

The approved method Of teaching
very young children is to disguise the
instruction under the cloak Of amuse-
ment. An interesting development in
the carrying out Of this idea Is found
in the sand pictures Of Walter A.
Ward, which are described in the Pop
ular Science Monthly. Cardboards
covered with col0red pictures or AMI
mails are given to the children together
with bottles containing the variously
colored sand. The children paint the
body of the animals with glue. and
then carefully cover the colored por-
tons of the animal bodies with the ap-
propriate colors Of sand.

STORIES OF THE WAR
How the Russian Soldiers Feel.

Russian soldiers who have been in the trenches for more than three years are no less amazed then civil ians at the rapid, turn of events in Russia and stand in hopeless confus- ion, unable the distinguish friends from enemies and poWerless to bring order out of chaos
 The attitude of the average soldier is shown by the following letter writ ten last month from the front to an English Red Cross sister who nursed him back to life after he had been severely wounded and gassed and en. abled him to return to the trenches,
 In the trenches everything is quiet I go out scouting every day looking for Germans, who have retreated from our trenches for about 15 miles. Here with US the light has gone out of everything. We are hungry, dressed in rags and bare footed, the food is very bad, we have very little bread the only meat we get ik&horse flesh a horse of our own, but have nothing and that is not fresh, We have goi to feed it with so are thinking ei eating it ourselves. There is no hell for us anywhere. It is our fate t6 be thrown aside and forgotten by the world and to die of cold and hunger i Dear little sister, while 1 write wonder whether you will read my let ter, for I am soldier and now every soldier is considered a traitor and is | blamed for all that has happened. But dear little sister, just think, wherein same soldier he was in 1914. In mos ! is the soldier to blame. He is thu cases he. has been wounded severa

 These are few of the many testi- monies given on the fateful effect of the liquor traffic on the output of coal.
 A government that does not act on such testimony is sadly lacking in efficiency and has resulted in awful misery and loss to the whole country. The past cannot be undone, but the future is before us and Commissioner Russell tells us that next winter will be as bad if not worse than this. President Wilson has the power now to put an end to the efficiency" of the liquor traffic which is never at sloss to seize the "tide in the affairs of men" and turn it to it's own fortunes" ;" Everyone knows that the drinking of alcoholic liquors, whether it be beer or any other alcoholic drink, does less en the efficiency of the men who drink it. We must have coal. Alcoholic drinks are not necessary. There is only one way to win this war and that Eis by conserving every particle of the working power of the men who are | left behind to carry on the business 1 life of our country. Every day that l our government, national or state fools with the liquor traffic lessens our chances of winning out and we have nore too many to trife with. We are too optimistic.
