reiItale Eyes and Toes.

The eyes tell the story Of guilt when
all the other muscles are controlled.
This you will learn In the eleventh
chapter of Darwin's book. Sometimes.
when the face is controlled, as In tho
case OF natives OF India. other muscles
are uncomfortable. Sir Henry Maine
declares that In India the Judge can
tell when native is lyin. by watch
ing his toes. He keeps his face per-
fectiy straigh, and his eyes express
sioniess, but his toes begin to wizgle
as soon as he begins TO lie.

The Federal Trade Commission in report

prodteeng and that they have monopoly of the market
These conclusions if fair and just matters Of
only to those engaged in the meat packing
business but to every other citizen Of our country.
The figures given profits misleading and the
that the packers have monopoly unsupported by facts
The packers mentioned the report stand ready prove
their profits reasonable and necessary.
The meat business of the largest American industries
Any citizen who would amiliarize himself with details
must be prepared for large totals.
The report states that the aggregate profits of four large
packers were 0,OO0,OOO for the three years.
This compared with $40 average annual
profit for the three years before the making appear
the profit s2 100000 greater than the prwa profit
This compares threeyear profit with oneyear proft-a
manfesty unfair method Of comparison 1t is only
leading but the Federal Trade Commission apparently has
made mistake in the figures themselves
The aggregate threeear profit of $4ooOoOo earned
sales If four and half billion dollars. 1t about
three each dollar of sales-or fraction of
per pound Of product
Packers profits negbe prices stock and
No other large business conducted upon such small
margins of profit.
Fuhermoreand this very imporantony small portion
Of this profit has been paid in dividends The balance has
been back into the businesses 1t had be- as you real
ze when consider the problems the packers had to
sove-and solve quicky-durng these years.
To conduct this business times with higher costs and
the necessity of paying three times former prices

makes only fair this and has stated the

and Importance of other packers
The packers mentioned in the ready to

If this they would dare to make this positive
statement.
Furthermore figures show that the five large
packers mentioned in the report for only about one
third of the meat business of the country.
They wish possible interest you in the detail, of
their business OF how for instance they sell dressed
beef for less than the cost Of the live ANIMAL owing to utza

methods of distribution throughout this broad land as

Change OF Subjects.

We've talked SO long OF shell and
shot, of captains and of kingsi The
time has come at last, 1 wot, to speak
OF other things. Let's turn our Thoughts
from P~etrograd to places nearer home:
we need good roads and need them
bad, and hence this stirring porne. For
years we've struggled through the
muck, IN WEAKNESS and grief, and only
said. when we were stuck: ut is no
time to beef" We floundered through
the muddy pools. across the reefs and
bars. and lost u horses and our mules,
and mired our costly cars. We said:
Unit! this war shall cease, our woes
can't be DISGUST; but. when arrives the
down OF peace. We'll have good roads
or bust" We've talked SO long ofbattle
fronts that we may find 1t hard to
turn to other. milder stunts; our spir-
It's may be Jared. We've rallied SO long
at Kaiser Bin that we may think it
stale to talk Of grading down a hill.
or filling up a vale. But 1t is wise to
talk good roads instead Of bones and
blood; the farmers cannot haul their
loads because OF endless mud. There
IS no bottom to the pike when comes
q udden shower: I cannot scorch, as |
would like, at SO miles an hour. We've
harped SO long on treason vile it's hard
to break away; but we should talk
good roads q while. and start the graft
today.

Rice Ia Japan.
From the Japan Advertiser.

from the Japan Advertiser.
There Is something almost fanatically
superstitious in the reverence In which
the Japanese hold rice. If the emperor
Is the most sacred being under the sun,
rice is of all things on earth the most
sacred c~ommodity-in the ayes of the
Japanese. II a prodigal son sauanders
thousands Of yen geisha. his par
ents may consider. 1t and forgive 1t as a
folly OF youth. but II he willfully throws
away a handful OF rice, he may be gull
totined and public opinion will pronounce
him served right. The very first lesson
of dinner table etiquette which every
Japanese child learns is to treat rice with
the utmost v~eneration. II I left vege-
tables. pickles, even the costliest fish,
half eaten, to be thrown away to the
beggar or dog. my parents would simply
say that I should be ashamed Of myself
or something of the sort, but I would
never think Of throwing away even a
small cupful of good rice; for I know
through experience that the indignation
which such an act would be sure to
arouse in the parental bosom would be
little short Of positively dangerous. (.
In the pre-restoration days the pie
beians were divided into three classes.
and OF these the farmers ranked first,
the mechanics I'M tradesmen coming
after them. Even proud, powerful Samu-
raj admitted the Importance and estima-
bic character Of farmers. Why? Because
they raised rice-the food Of The gods
and OF the Samuraii

In the evening, when a few
privileged neighbors meet at his
'house-the justice OF the peace,
notary, Major Comte d'Astrignac,
who has also gone to live at Saint
Maclou-Don Luis is not afraid to
speak Of Arsene Lupin.
Il used to see q great deal of
him." he says. "He was not a
bad man. | will not go so far as
to compare him with the Seven
ISages, or even to hold him up ss
an example to future generations,
but still we must judge him with
a certain indulgence.
"He did a vast amount of good
and a moderate amount Of harm.
Those who suffered through him
deserved what they got and fate
would have punished them sooner
or later if he had not forestalled
her. Between a Lupin who Sc
lected his victims among the ruck
of wicked rich men and some big
company promoter who deliber-
ately ruins numbers of poor peo-
pie, would you hesitate for a mo-

"And, on the other hand, what

generosity! A burglar9 ] admit

He was all that. But he was some
thing more than that. And, while
he amused the gallery with his.
skill and ingenuity, he reused the
general enthusiasm in other ways.
People laughed at his prac-
ti,al jokes, but they loved his
pluck, his courage, his adven-
turous spirit, his contempt for
danger, his shrewd insight, his I'M
failing good humor, his reckless
energy; all qualities that stood
out at a period when the most &C.

reached their zenith, the period Of
the motor car and the airplane.

was q master of adventure.
"And, if the spirit Of adventure
led him too often to put his hand
in other peoples pockets, it also
led him to battlefields where it
gives those who are worthy op-
portunity to fight and win titles
Of distinction which are not within
reach Of all. It was there that he
gained his. It is there that you
should see him at work, spending
his strength, Drawing death, and
defying destiny. And it is because
Of this hat you must forgive him.
even if he did sometimes get the
better Of a commissary Of police
or steal the watch Of an examin-
ing magistrate. Let US show some
indulgence to our professors Of
energy"
And, nodding his head, Don
Luis concludes:
'Then, you see, he had another
which is not to be despised.
1t is a virtue for which we should
bs grateful to him in these gray
days Of ours: he knew how to
