coal is being burned efficiently and that my precious coal is not being wasted.
 If when the fire is burning that way, the house is not warm enough, I do one of three things:
 First, l tighten up the house by stop ping air leaks or by putting on storm windows and weather strips.
 Second, I humidity the air, in the ways suggested.
 Third, if these methods are not suf- ficient. install another heater.
 Installing a second heat gives for better results at less expense than comes from forcing the fire in one heater. In putting on an extra heater I do not advocate an open grate. They make a room cheerful but they are terribly Wasteful. To use, two good heaters allow both to run slowly and efficiently. Last winter for the first time I installed a hot blast stove to help out my furnace. The result was that I have never been so comfortable yet I had left at the end of May a

Winter Death Rate Higher

From Save Coal and Save Health" by Pref. Ellsworth Huntington, in tho
 American Review of Reviews: Y,
 In winter, when we control the tenn perature within our houses we ought to be able to live under Meal condi- tions- We certainly do no such thing In large parts of the United States the death rate in winter is even greater than in midsummer. This is not due to the cold outside air nearly so much as to wrong conditions inside the house. The wrong conditions are, tirst, too high temperature; second, too much dryness of the air, and third. too little variation of temperature.
 Let us look at these three conditions The millions of deaths already re- ferred to show that for practically all races the same temperature, 69 or 6i degrees is the best. Strange it may seem, the Films, for example, in their cold northern home have not become adapted to low Temperature As the air grows warmer during the summer their health becomes better and bet ter Even their Summers. however. are mot quite warm enough for only rarely does July average as high as 6t de- grees. Far away to the south. on the other hand, the people of sunny Sicily, where the temperature averages above |o4 degrees much of the time, have not become adapted to a warm climate For both Films and Sicilians the same tenn perature is best, Even the American negroes show almost no adaptation to a hot climate For thousands of years their ancestors lived in ;t climate where she thermometer averages not far from 50 degrees Yet today incur southern states the health of the cOlorea peo- sple is best when the temperature av-. erages not higher than 6S degrees and, perhaps lower. Thus all races are al- most alike

 Basis of An Enduring Peace, the |opening chapter introduces us to con
 ditions as follows, which are of inter-
 est to everyone and upon which the
 book basis it's argument
 That wars have oftentimes been
 due to the pressure of population upon subsistence is now so generally rec ognized as to have become a common
 place in our historical studies. The
 various barbarian invasions of the Roman empire may be cited as due
 to this cause, and even where the im-
 mediate invaders came from the fertile
 plans of southern Russia their migra-
 tion is held to be the result of the
 p1 assure of less favored people upon
 the borders of those who held these
 more fertile lands Nor is this pres
 sure of population upon subsistence re-
 stricted to more primitive days but is clearly seen in the great struggle that now threatens to engulf our modern civilization. For is 1t not true that in- , sular England, fearing to have her food supply, cut off, has been forced to main tain great navy for it's protection and to insist that Germany shall limit it's naval programme to the ratio Of z to IS.
 i With the growth of trade and com
 merce, however, the direct pressure of population upon subsistence has ceased to play quite so important part among the economic causes of war For, With 1 their rise the control of the trade routes soon become such fruitful
 source of wealth and power that na- tions were willing to accept the gauge of battle to secure or retain control
 of these routes, and so we had what
 are sometimes called trade wars. in
 which the struggle was no longer di- rectly for fertile lands. but for advan- ! tages in trade and commerce..

To Oyerwhelm the Germans

Henry Farrand Griffin, in Leslie's.
 There you have the policy of the United States and our allies in q nut shell--to oyerwhelm the Germans by superior numbers. When General March said that with 100000 Amcri- can troops in France we could go through the German line wherever we pleased he meant of course, that we could do it with the cooperation or the French and British armies An army of 4,O00,000 Americans on the western front would. give the allies rnors than two to one superiority over the enemy-unless the Germans are able to draw far greater reinforce ments from Austria Hungary and oth- CT subject or vassal states than now seems likely. General March is un- doubtedly right in his assertion that this is the best and quickest way to win the war. But it is q big pro gramme upon which the United States is embarking and it will be we'll for us to realize it.. It is not merely big job to raise. train and equip such an American army it will be an enor-
 nOuSIY tdsh tO tidAiSPo4t e'te' army to France and maintain, muni- ton and supply it there. We can do it. of course, but it will take every ounce of energy we can put into the job.
 Recent fighting in France has proved the quality of American troops and 1t remains now to see that tho quantity is adequate for victory Upon the extent and success of our military effort in 1919 will depend the likeli- hood of the war dragging on into 1920. Let us never forget that the German army is still a powerful and danger ous organization, led by ruthless ana resourceful men, of 8 class that faces ruin in the event of defeat Despite sensational newspaper stories to the contrary there has as yet been scant evidence of crumbling away of the German army's morale. Its recent re- treat from the Marne was conducted in excellent order under the most diff cult conditions, and even in the re- cent Picardy fighting there was noth- ing even remotely resembling col- lapse of enemy resistance. We have the men and the resources to beat Ger many by a clean military victory in the field-but it is not going to be any easy job and we shall be exceed- ingly ill-advised to underrate it.
