The above figures represent the
certified returns of deaths made Of
6cialIy to the Vital Statistics Blu

As will be seen in the total deaths
there we're $685. between the ages
of 20 and 60, the productive period
of life. When it is realized that
these deaths represent the heads of
homes the best and most useful of
the community citizenry, all trades
and professions, or in the words Of
prominent insurance official: "The
most dependable risks" then do we
understand what an economic bur-
den this epidemic has assumed.
From a public health standpoint,
however, there has evolved one dis
tinct material gain-An evolution in
public sentiment toward the work Of
disease prevention: Public spirited
citizens, public officials in a large
measure, social and religious organ
izations, all gave the most valuable
assistance to Health and Red Cross
forces and in way that was never
attempted before, and from this
united endeavor will be developed
new conscience and such force for
common good that the further pro-
gress of health work will be en-
CHANGED ten fold
Already the health forces of the
country, stirred as never before by
such moral support have taken on
new courage, and in light of the re-

outlook for the future is agreeably
bright.

Titles of Nobility
Rapidly Passing

Hereafter none but she nearest
blood kin of the British sovereign will
bear titles; the grandchildren of the
present King will be known as Mr.. or
Miss Windsor. Nor is it unlikely that
all titles of nobility will eventually be
abolished in the countries of Europe.
Lords and barons had their value in
the days when they rendered service
Ill return for their privileges and could
be distinguished by their clothes and
their manners from ordinary folks.
But as feudalism decayed and such
outward signs of nobility as ruffs and
swords and the gold tuft on the young
collegian's mortar board disappeared
brains and money began to rule. The
English peerage, carefully preserved
by the laws of primogeniture, is still
an object of idolatrous worship on the
part of the humber classes, but in
the. great world of London society
titles have lost much of their former
value. The late Duke of Marlbor-
ough is credited with the shrewd and
cynical observation that nowadays
nobody toadies duke except clergy
men and Americans" But even in
New Yory society the prestige of the
title of nobility has been materially
weakened by the various fraudulent
or unworthy varieties of the species
who have left unsavory memories be-
hind them.
We in this democratic country de-
rive most of our knowledge of the Soc
ial power of titles from the pages of
second rate English fiction, in which
they are still held in reverence. In
these stories is carefully preserved the
ancient myth that even the poorest
noble looks with contempt upon the
commoner, even though he be a man
of millions, who is engaged in trade
Those who are foolish enough to ac-
cept this oft told tale should remem-
ber that a member of the House of
Lords is also an Englishman and
therefore not averse to making money
That Is why large proportion of Bri-
tain's peers are engaged in business
of one sort or another.-New York
Herald.

"That is the curfew," the secretary
explained, and went on to tell what the
curfew is.
"Do you mean to say that these
folks are supposed to ring off every
night at half-past 81" the soldier
questioned in amazement Gee, P1l
say they are dead around here half of
the time and sleep the other half"
A few days later the same doughboy
returned and hailed the "Y" secretary
delightedly.
"Say," he chuckled, "do you know
what? I've got better one yet. You
know that curfew l was asking you
about that rang at $3.50? Well, they
had to stop ringing it, because all the
people complained that they didn't
want that blamed bell ringing and
waking them up just as they got to

Tribute to American Farmers

"Perhaps no branch of the public
service is in position to recognize so
promptly and appreciate so fully as
the Bureau of Crop Estimates what
has been accomplished by the farmers
of the United States since the break
ing out of the world war;" says the
annual report of the bureau. From
the reports Of its thousands of volun-
tary crop reporters IS and its field agents
who travel over each State and report
weekly and monthly their observations
the bureau is in constant touch with
the progress of crop production from
month to month and year to year. 1t
has seen the supply of farm labor
steadily decrease from heavy drafts
made upon it by other industries, es-
| pecially since the beginning of the
| war. and it has noted the decrease in
the supply of commercial fertilizers
| Il has noted also the steady rise in
farm wages, and in prices of farm
machinery and everything else That
! farmers have to buy. With an un-
bounded faith in the patriotism and
determination of farmers to do their
utmost to help win the war by MAN.
tanning the production of food ard
raw materials, it nevertheless has
marveled that the farmers of the
United States apparently have ac-
conplished the impossible by continu-
ing to plant larger areas and to har-
| vest larger crops in the aggregate
with each year of the war in spite OF
the difficulties of securing farm labor,
supplies. machinery and other neces-
sary articles.
"The planting and cultivating OF
80 900. 900 acres more in 1917 than IN
1914 by the farmers of this country
is comparable with anything that has
been accomplished by any other INDUS
try. This production of food crops on
ar enlarged scale, at greatly increased
EXPENSE of time, effort and labor and

places OF those sons and daughters of
ours and of the sons and daughters of
our neighbors. 1t was only a year or
two ago, as it seems, when We hung
our well-worn stockings in a row
along the mantel shelf, while our
fathers and mothers looked on with
unfeigned pleasure at the innocent
confidence we showed in what the NOR
row would bring forth.
Even as you and l. 1t all comes
back in flood of memories. Life was
simpler then. Our desires were less
pretentious than those our children

but the essence of Christmas never.
The same happy childhood, the same
restlessness, the same snail-like creep

planning across the reading table af-
ter the boys and girls are abed, the
same loving consideration of what
this or that child most desires and
how far the family purse can properly
be stretched to permit some further
purchase.

childhood
