The Enemy Within Class.

II is really shame that war con-
ditions are used to bolster up prices.
From the start | have believed, and
still believe that high prices should not
now be asked for very many articles.
Crooked, scheming, avaricious specu-
iators and gamblers have so far had
their own way and many things have
been boosted in price on account of
war conditions" For instance, in
some places potatoes are 40 cents a
peck and within hundred miles from
there the price is only that much per
bushel and there are other necessaries
Of the home varying in about the same
proportion. In connection might be
cited that a lot of dirty, third rate
cereals are mixed together and sold for
scents pound. when A No. | grains
u the same kind are being sold in small
quantities at cents pound.

WEAKEN STATEMENT OF FACT
Many Persons Seem to Question Their
Own Conclusions by Excessive
Use Of Rising infection.

II IS a modern conversational fad TO
use the rising and interrogative in
Election great deal, even when a
question Is not intended at all. The
women are more apt to use 1t than the
men, and it started u few years ago,
merely MS u pretty trick of talking,
with no harm in 1t, mo harm i tn

But it has been so very much over
done and is now 50 general that we
are inclined to wonder If it bethlens
state OF mind, or on the contrary, If it
Is likely 10 have an influence on the
mind. For rising infection implies
questioning or doubt and, when APP
piled to n sentence that is supposed to
be statement Of fact, it necessarily
weakens that statement.
We have heard people who were
narrating some simple incident use
this rising infection so repeatedly that
they seemed to question all their own
their hearers for agreement. And that
doean't indicate inst the right state of
mind. If person has anything TO
say and believes it, he should be Will
ing to state II quite simply aud posi-
lively A positive statement dors not
mean an aggressive one and per
son must needs be in a rather pitiful
state Of fear OF his hearers opinions
If he Is afraid TO utter an affirmative

Old Time New Year Calls

y the late sixties, says G.. II. Put
nam in Memories of Il Publisher"
New York had not yet outgrown
certain of its old-fashioned or so-called
provincial habits. One of the customs
was that Of making New Years calls,
a practice that had been inherited from
the Dutch founders of the city. Long
before the beginning Of the twentieth
century the growth of the metropolis
he'd made impossible this pleasant and
convenient habit of coming into touch
Cat least once year, with circle of
family friends, but in 1856 the Indies
still stayed Mt home on New Years
day, and old men and youngsters did
what they could In the hours between
IL In the morning and midnight to
check Off with calls of from five to
fifteen minutes their own visiting Hist
with that of their wives, their sisters
or their mothers.
In my own diary for January l, 1865,
| find the entry, "Made thirty-five
calls" I remember on that day com
ing back In the middle of the afternoon
for word with my mother and find
ing old Mr.. Bryant In her parlor. 1t
was sleeting violently outside, and the
luxurious young men of the day were
going about in coupes. 1t was the
practice, in order TO save expense, for
two or three men to join In the expense
of carriage for the day. Mr.. Bryant,
however, had trudged through the sleet
and in response TO some words from
my mother of appreciation of his eff
fort in coming out In such weather re-
piled cheerily: why, ! rather like a
fresh temperature, Mrs. Putnam. II Is
only the young men who are chilly and
lazy"
Fifteen or eighteen years later New
Years calls in society had become a
tradition OF the past.

A pipe with history is in the pos

about MS large as The bowl itself, and
attached To the stem is a string of
beads made Of the same wood rs the

has been cut. and the suggestion Is
made that Sir Walter used 1t to sum

the last century, the inscription accom-

Is very pretty idea to make the invi-
tations look as much like the first page

possible. Paste on "A sheet Of white

Is to be held Below this write:

Bring all the wits you have in stock.

We'u have a jolly time together,
When the guests have arrived an
nounce to the assembled company that
they have been entered as contestants
in calendar race. To prepare for it
take one OF the single leaf calendars
which you can buy anywhere for Il few
cents. This contains 800 leaves, or one
for every day in the year, Tear the
leaflets from the cover and hide them
all over the house or apartment In the
living room, hall or spare bedroom or
wherever you want your guests to go.
AT n given signal, the blowing of a
whistle or the ringing of bell, every
body starts on Il search for the leaflets.
This can be continued for as long OF
as short time as desired.
The first prize should be given to the
person who has collected the greatest
number of days represented by the
calender leaves. This can be an orna.
mental calendar of some sort. The sec
ond prize should go to the person who
has the most calendar leaves for any

Labor day (the first Monday in Sep.

of each holiday date and should be

candles. New Years day prize could

Cactus as a Heart stimulant.

The occasional discovery of some
useful piece of knowledge that has
been thrusting itself under our very
noses for ages, and yet has escaped de
lection. serves 20 emphasize the limit
tationS Of the sum total of human
knowledge MS compared to the still un-
solved mysteries Of the universe, re-
marks the Los Angeles Times.
1t is recent discovery, for example,
that the cactus plant contains an al
most invaluable heart stimulnnt. For
merly the entire cactus family was re-
garded as practically useless for man
or beast so far as could be determined.
Then II was discovered that this plant
made excellent fodder for domestic
animals when Shorn Of its spines; and
chemists found In the leaves sub
stance which appeared to be q power
full heart stimulant for human beings.
Curiously enough, this substance does
not affect the lower animals as Il does
human beings, and this fact led many
Investigators Go question It's potency,
Most medical substances affect the
lower animals or at least, some Of
them. IA much the same manner as
they affect human beings, Cactus is IN
exception, however and although tt
contains a heart stimulant of such
powerful notion that it must be ao-
mnlstorcd with caution, Il produce
no perceplble effects on the animals
