Business men testify that the way
of treating people represented by the
expression, Business is business" is
going out of fashion. They say the
best business is to work the Golden
Rule into it wherever it is possible.
Everybody notices that courtesy and
politeness are more in evidence among
the employees toward customers and
among successful employers toward
employees. Men and women get on
best in all business relations when
they treat each other as equals, and
give what they like to receive.

Peru's Great Museum.

Peru's capital is the home of a ma
tional museum, one of the wold's most
interesting institutions of this nature.
It shares with that of Cairo in display
ing to modern peoples various Incl
dents of life and activity of bygone
races. Also the gallery of paintings
Of Peruvian history is particularly
noteworthy. The remains of the first
airplane torcross the Alps in which the
Peruvian airman, Don Jorge Chaves,
lost his life, is another interesting ex-
hibit.

Shrines to Foxes.

There are numberless shrines In
Japan dedicated to foxes. The badger
is another animal feared by the super
stitious Japanese mind. 1t is believed
to have power to annoy people, and to
be able TO turn into a priest at will.
The crying of weasles and the baying
of dogs are considered evil omens, and
such insignificant happenings send a
shudder through the believers.

necessary to bring a writer's ideas to

to keep the messenger from his pub

LIVES SAVED

Ten thousand men, alive TODAY,
Might not have seen the morning
gray,
But that the battles cease.
Ten thousand men who still NAV
live
The earth, might lie among the dead,
Except for treasured peace.
Ten thousand more, whose eyes are
bright
With life might not have lived till
night,
Had not the truce been made.
Ten thousand forms might strew the
plain,
Ten thousand writing heaps of
pain
Had not the sword been stayed.
Ten thousand men might spill their
gore,
And on the morrow, thousands more,
And each succeeding day
Might see the hosts for killing lined
Trimmed out, had not that pact been
signed,
And slaughter swept away.
We render thanks that death is stay
ed
From all these men whom peace has
saved.
With feelings far too vast
To put in tinkling words we hope
This war, the greatest in its scope,
Shall also be the last!

ATLANTA TEACHERS STRIKE
UNLESS PAY IS INCREASED

Atlanta, Ga.-Coupled with a de-
mand which the public school teach
ers of this city have made on the
board of education for a 80 per cent
increase in salaries beginning January

teachers might walk out in a body

The teachers Of Atlanta are not
paid as much as they should be. This
fact is generally admitted by all con-
cerned. But the city's financial diff
culties are almost as acute as theirs,
owing to increased expenses in all
departments and demands for better
pay by the policemen, hremen and
others. .mj'EIsF
