This VIII con,fnrt You

Fearing that perhaps the public viii
not know the precise character of the
white substance now covering the
earth in large quantities, we hasten to
explain that il is snow. or. in French.
neige; in German. schnee; in Dutch,
sneeuw; in Slavonic, sneig; in Italian.
neve
In small quantities ii is harmless and
beautiful In amounts such as are at
present with US. it defies description
in polite language. Snow. neige,
sneeuw, etc, etc, is water-vapor con
densed from the atmosphere and pre-
cipitated upon this already troubled
earth in a frozen and crystalline con-
dition. The article we know as snow
is produced when the process of con
denSation and fall occurs in temper
allure below 50 degrees.
We might add. by way of making
this explanation complete and clear
that the crystals vary greatly in form
and belong TO the hexagonal system.
They are formed upon a nucleus in
the same way as a raindrop.
This, we feel. ought to make GER
tain recent events and present condi-
tons much easier to bear.-Cincinnati

WHERE LIBERTY is DEAD.

Wilhelm Dittman is a leader of the
Radical Socialist party and a member
of the Reichstag. He was one of the
strike leaders. Dittman has been ST.
fenced. The military court-martial
sentenced him to five years confine-
ment in a fortress. Leaders of the
German strikers threw up their hands
and surrendered. Militarism rules
Germany and the Kaiser is the arch
angel of militarism and the kinghead
and godhead of the junkers of the en-
pire. German toilers are serfs. They
are human automatons. They haven't
the courage to strike a blow for lib
erty. They are the manacled and
shackled doormats of the house Of
Hohenzollern.

Letters to the Editor

a sufficient amount of proper nourish-
ing food at regular hours, our food
must be properly digested or it will
be of very little use TO US. Exercis-
ing in any sport that has the tendency
to develop the muscles, and deep
breathing through our nasal chambers
adds TO our strength and beauty.
The adjoining of our person counts
for a lot Dress for the occasion
Separate your social hours from your
business hours. Let simplicity in
make and harmonizing of colors be
your keynote. Above all, have your
clothes clean, then no buttons of and
no gaping holes. A soiled piece of
lace or a coupled of buttons off or a
wrinkled garment, no matter of what
expensive material, would quite spoil
the effect. Notice details, shoes kept
clean, gloves well-fitted, clean and no
holes. Our appearance should be un-
assuming, attractive. This can be
managed easily with a little thought
and study as TO what accentuates our
good points and has a tendency to
conceal our defects.
During business hours plain, sensi-
BILE clothing would have the effect of
impressing upon client or employer
our business ability. Then when
business is over my lady can don her
frills and laces, and laddie his pinch
back suits and gaily colored ties.
Be a close observer, and notice if
you possess what you consider bad
habits. Try to cure them by think
ing how you appear to others.
Good manner, a gentle voice,
coupled with dignity, inspires conf
dence. Be deliberate and quiet in
your actions. Never rush through a
room, slam the door, knock half a
dozen books off the table, and shock
the nerves of everyone in hearing dis
lance. Respect your elders by show
ing them every courtesy, also anyone
weaker or smaller than yourself. AL
ways be on the alert to do any little
act that will promote the happiness of
others. thereby not injuring any ones
feelings by thoughtless words or
actions.
Be pure in thought, for 1.-THE face
is the mirror of the soul" Be glad
you are alive. Think life is a pleasant
state and your face will assume
cheerful, attractive expression. Your
health, happiness, and results of la
Dor will be manifold Emulate some
noble person, picture yourself in his
position and rely on your own power
to succeed, by Gods help :.
Yes, by Gods help, for nothing is of
any avail without His help. The day
should be begun by breathing prayer
to God for guidance and help through
the daily struggle.
Jack of all trades and master of
none,'' should never be your motto. 1t
is a good accomplishment to be able
to do more than one thing, but we
must all have a goal. Always make
an answering effort to reach it by
looking ahead, surrounding difficult
ties by a close concentration on the
matter in view. No definite aim is
reached without a struggle. Think of
the great men, Benjamin Franklin,
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Abraham Lin
coin, Thomas Edison, and bear in
mind what Longfellow says:
Lives of great men all remind us,
We can make our lives sublime,
And departing leave behind us,
Footprints on the sands of time"

Sailors Brave Act Commended.

Chief Roatswain's Mate John O.
Strickland of the United States
steamship Annapolis has been COM
mended by the navy department for
bravery in going to the assistance of
ship in distress During n heavy
gale the steamer Paddleford had gone
aground Her condition was most
hazardous when she was sighted by
the Annapolis. Although the surf was
extremely dangerous, Strickland with
two of the ships officers and members
of the crew undertook the work of
carrying a life line TO the wrecked
vessel. BY this action more than two
thirds of the crew were saved. Strick-
land enlisted in the navy in 1908 at

WASHINGTON, A MAN OF DISPAS-
SIONATE JUDGMENT.

All over the United States and in
many other sections of the world,
Americans on Friday, February 22nd,
will pay tribute to the memory of
George Washington, First in War,
First in Peace and First in the Hearts
of His Countrymen." 1t was under
Washington's leadership that the
American colonies achieved their in
dependence. and under his direction
that this government was established.
Although more than century has
passed the greatness of this man has
not waned, nor the light of his deeds
been dimmed by the passage of time.
Instead, time has only added to the
lustre of his fame.
His clearness of foresight, his calm,
dispassionate judgment, his firm and
determined impartiality under all cir
cumstances, his recognition of rights
of others, and his patriotic devotion
to the welfare of his country, have
all united in making him First in
War. First in Peace and First in the
Hearts of His Countrymen"
What we need today is more of the
clearness of vision of Washington, a
greater recognition Of equal rights of
every law-abiding citizen of the coun-
tryS more men and women with cour-
age of conviction to stand for that
which they believe to be right, and
more of the spirit of give and take"
to make every person recognize that
those whodiffer may be just as con-
scientious and are entitled to their
opinion.

50f.5G MEAT II NEW YORK
Although There is Much Opposition TO
Its Use as Human Food, the
Demand Increases.

1t is now nearly two years since the
board of health lifted the ban on the
sale of horse meat in the effort to re-
duce the cost of living, observes the
Brooklyn Eagle. The introduction of
the food has been slow, but five shops,
two of them in Brooklyn, are now re-
ported to be advertising horse meat for
sale.
The demand for this cheap meat has
been increased by the wartime food
prices and some of the butchers III
Manhattan who compete with the horse
meat stores are issuing circulars de-
nouncing the new food ana stirring IN
prejudice against It. Whether as re-
suit of the circulars is not clear, but
one of these horse-meat stores on First
avenue, Manhattan. has been attacked.
its window having been smashed in on
two successive nights.
Neither the circulars nor the attacks
are likely to interfere with the spread
of the demand for the new food. The
manager of the company which is intro
ducing II says that crowds are drawn
when he opens a new store and that in
one case he had to call on the police TO
keep order among his would-be Gus
toners. In cases of food scarcity horse
meat has been eaten in many countries.
The great prosperity of the United
States has kept it out of our markets
heretofore, but the wartime scarcity
and high prices are likely TO establish
1t as regular part of the diet of peo-
pie who can't afford TO pay for beef.
The objections to it are sentimental
and not hygienic, so that, as a relief
from high prices, its use is TO be well
coined.

If what is published is true, the
Berlinese are having some skidding
The report is that most of the male
portion of that city are now wearing
clothes made OF paper. Collars cost
IS cents each, the best shoes contain

Another Annapolis Boy Runs Into
Verse.
Mr. Editor:-Will you kindly print
the following poem in your esteemed
paper:
It's for tedious task of winning
democracy,
H-means how we're going to defeat
autocracy;
R-is for republic, the home of the
brave and free,
means it's impossible to win the
war without your help, you see;
Els for the fine progress we're max
in in this war,
It's for the thousands of soldiers
who're fighting for each stripe
and star
Sis for the sons of liberty, ten mil
lions of them strong.
T-means that they are going TO
prove that the Kaiser was wrong:
Annapolis is helping it's country to
its utmost, I'm very proud TO say,
MIS- for the many persons who are
helping in every way;
P-is for other persons who are true
to the red, white and blue,
S-means that each of you should
buy Thrift and War Stamps, too.
Yours verytruly,
LOUIS SNYDER,
Age TO- 81 West Street.
