MARK TWAiN'S ASTRAL BOOK

1t sounds, at first blush, as if the
spirit of Mark Twain were trying to
play another joke on the world May
be he is. II there is spirit world,
surely there is humor there. But on
the face OF it, at least, this matter Is
perfectly serious
Mark Twain's spirit Is said to have
written . bookan astral book, die.
tated from the Great Beyond TO two
women mediums, and edited by the
noted psychologist, Prof James IT,
Hyslop It's approaching publication
as announced by Prof. Hysop in the
Journal OF the psychica Research So
ciety There doesn't seem to be much
about the work that harmonzes with
the ordinary conception Of Mark
Twain 1t isn't volume OF humor. It
isn't fiction. 1t isn't any thing of the
sort We usually associate with his
name Its described as "a reyolu.
tiOnary volume on modern science and
philosophy and it Is supposed to re-
veal many marvellous secrets about
life and death and the human soul and
the future existence
This would be sensational enough.
in any case But an oGl sort of in.
terest is added to ii by the action Of
the authors daughter. formerly Clara
Clemens, now Mrs Ossip Gabrlowitch.

Prof llyslop's statements are silly
stupid, foolish and crazy"
It remains to be seen whether the
courts can find any legal warrant for
an Injunction. The laws regarding as.
trail authorship are rather vague
Perhaps the best way out of il
would be to let the book be printed.
The public might be trusted to Judge
between Prof Hyslop and Mrs. Gabril
owilch, and to do justice to the re.
putcu AUTHOR himself.
Most messages purp0rtng to come

advantage because there isn't much in

REALLY SAVING FOOD

We have really succeeded, thest
last few months, in our national food
saving campaign. Sir William G0ode
of the British food ministry recently
told a British audience some things
about it which we ourselves did not
know.
He spoke with appreciation of the
amazing way in which the energies
and sentiments Of the American PEG
pie have been harnessed to great
national movement OF organized self
sacrifice, so that the allies can have
enough food to carry on.
Some cynical Britishers, he said.
had pronounced it ridiculous to I'M
agine that the American people. liy-
ing in the midst of plenty. would
make such sacrifices as these for the
sake of their allies thousands OF miles
away" But he routed the oynies with
this statement:
Early this month we received from
Hoover a cablegram saying he found
that as a result OF the American con
servation campaign he had 10000 600
pounds of bacon and 25,000.000 pounds
of frozen meat more than the Bri,
fish representative in the United
States had estimated as likely to be
available.
His offer was so unexpected that
we had to hustle to get the finance
and shipping for this windfall Later
on it turned out that the amount Of
frozen meat available was thousand
of tons above the Hoover estimate
Except for the holdup of shipping in
American ports due to congestion on
the railways and billiards our bacon
and meat shortage would long since
have been eased by these shipments
which represent only small percent
age Of the total sacrifices Of the Am,
erican people,
