WHOLESALE MEDITATION.

If for no other reason the American people should have five days of en- forced idleness every year with no bay, so that they might sit back and
 neditate. Tn this way, big men and little might come to an understanding bf the uncertainty of life and all things connected herewith.
 It was not so many months ago khat a branch of one of the biggest factories in this town burned to the ground. The fire took place at mid night. In the morning there was not h wall standing. Obviously, there was sao work then to be done, save the work of reconstruction. The men were without emp1oyments until order S.ane out of chaos. They received no Anoney while idle. Those who had but something by for just such an Emergency were all right. Those who had neglected this duty were forced zb o suffer.

Sometimes they worked these #hree days only every other week. Yet x he men who worked here then man hged to get along, to raise families, 5 o build homes and to leave, in some instances, large estates. The work In the olden days was not one half so

MNG rail and rave at every interfer- in and says, Here, youll have to close down those factories for few days so we can get the nations house in order'', few manufacturing teeth and run away with the team. It cannot be done.
 The American peopaeAue fast com ing to a realization of what this war we are in the war and in it to stay In the rush of wartime nanufactur-
 ing we produced too much That is the story in a word, -pEu3uctio on. The factories of this town and many other towns worked three shifts a. day until so many things were made there are no places for them, nor railroad facilities to move them. At the same time the factories burned Up so much coal they practically caused a coal famine. The cars could not be gotten away from the mines quick enough, so there was freight congestion. This is only part of what happened.
 In the five days from yesterday until next Tuesday the nation will have time to think it over. Also, the men who work at the mines, the men who load coal cars, the men who move trains, the men who un- load trains, and the men who supervise the loading of ships, will all have a chance to clear the tracks. The only thing the governent forgot to do was to put a ban on passenger trains for at least three days, and cut out all unnecessary travel. We are coming to that too; at least one pas senger-less day a week.
 Thinking it all over, we can come to no other conclusion but that five days' rest will be a good thing. What few suffer because of imprOvidence will serve to teach lessons worth while. In the event the five days resting period becomes a custom there is not a man worth his salt who will not put away the necessary wherewithal to see him through. I Having the time to hear himself 1 think. he would be amply rewarded

AIT HOME AND ABROAD.

All the nation is molded into a war machine. As one British officer has expressed it, 'the men at the front make up the cutting edge'.- The men and women and children far behind the fighting lines are the motor power. lIf they fail to make every sacrifice the cutting edge will become dull. There are in Europe almost one million American soldiers. The sup plies for these men must come from this country, since France, England, hnd Italy cannot provide them. Un- Jess our boys "Over There' get the goods they need we might as we'll have sunk the ships that carried them over. They will be liabilities. They will hot be assets to any nation unless they Aare well provided for.
 In New York harbor and we'll up sE the Hudson river there are some two hundred and more ships laden with Mood and munitions for our men in France. These ships have not been &lble to turn a propeller because
 here was no coal to run the engines. Hbstensibly, the sensible thing to do is, < Look after the boys '.Over There.

 In every great issue before the country within the past year or so the Herald has been right. It was right when it picked Woodrow Will son for President. and stuck to him.

FOOD VALUE OF MILK AND EGGS.
The Cows Product i the Perfect
 Food, Cost What it May.

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle).
 When, in a news article in this pa- per on Monday, John J. Dillon, state commissioner of foods and markets, was quoted as saying that one quart of milk was equivalent to eight eggs in food value, many readers probablE thought, if the point attracted their attention, that a typographical error had been made or MT. Dillon was not quite sound in his dietetic lore. It was apparent that, if the statement was correct, it was a good economics rule to substitute milk for eggs in SO far as taste and the cook book woulds permit s
 Happily, Rochester folk have an in- stitution to which all such problems as that presented may be safely sub- mitted. The Mechanics institute veri-5 fled the assertion made by MT. Dillon. An expert in food values there gave the conffrmatory information that quart of milk was worth to the con- sumer from seven to nine eggs, ac- cording to the size of the eggs. This was a fact it was said, not generally known, but one that might be ad- vantageously applied. To be sure, tastes must be taken into considera- ton, and eggs are required in the making of many dishes; but there is great economy in using milk instead of eggs when the question IS only which is the most nOurishing.
 A quart of good milk can be bought in this city at from to 10 cents, whereas eight really fresh eggs such as one prefers to have for break fast. now cost 40 cents. Fresh eggs are four times as costly as milk as a breakfast food Many of the patent cereals are of little more value than to make milk palatable to those not fond of it, but such cereals as oat- meal are more substantial It is clear that the mother whose allowance for household expenses is scant does not go astray when she provides plenty of nourishing cereal and milk, or bread and milk for her growing brood.

DON'T GET EXCITED.

During the Christmas holiday season, extending from a time before Decem- Der 25 until sometime after January 1, a vast number of workingmen in New Britain remained away from the fac tories From one high in the industrial world hereabouts we have an esti
 mate that this number of volunteer idlers approximated fifty per cent. of the laboring classes. Efforts were ex- pended to get men to go to work; but to little avail. There was no howl of protest then. Now that slightly more than fifty per cent. Of the men are forced to remain idle there is a great to-do. The protests are from the employers, not from the employees. As yet we have no report of labor con demning the action at Washington. On the contrary, when the news was flashed on a screen in a, moving pie ture house last Wednesday night, the men shouted their approval Of a. five day rest. They seem to be the ones least concerned over the order. Also
 we recall that when the men in one factory wanted to go~ out and bid the soldiers farewell one day last summer they were told they could do so only under penalty of losing whatever bonuses then coming to them. Some of the men sacrificed this money in order to give the two local militia companies a real patriotic, American send of. Until the men themselves show absolute disioyalty, we shall re- fuse to believe that the American peo- ple have lost faith in their govern

Still Unpapered
By Joe Blast.

Dolphin Comma was nuts about music although never yet had he been able to scrape to- gether money enough to satis- fly the am mbition of his life-to attend a performance of grand opera. He would hang in ecs- tacy over a canarys cage, wait Ing raptly for the slightest note from the little insect He would follow a hurdy gurdy for miles and miles, down hill and up dale, returning footsore and weary, his stomach full of emp tlness but bis head full of mel ody.
 He was 8 paper hanger. One Tuesday the manager of the Hotel Pergle sent for him to paper hall closet on the twen- ty-ninth floor.

 At that moment a gorgeous burst of sound filled the air ana the intervening spaces.
 whats that ?" whispered Dolphin Comma ecstatically.
 Ponsonby Timbre. the great Danish male soprano, has his bathroom on the left side of this closet and naturally he sings while he is bathing," ex- plained the manager.
 Just then an even gorgeouser burst of sound flooded through the partition on the right side of the closet
 'W-w-wIat's that ?'' breatf1ed Dolphin Comma swooningly.
 That's from the bathroom of Madame Tooterbeeni, the marvelou us Finnish female bar ltone-hear her splashing?'' replied the manager.
 And he left, shutting the door of the closet after him so that Dolphin Comma wouldn't be disturbed at his work. And for six days and six nights not a minute passed during which either Ponsonby Tin1bre or Madame Tooterbeeni was not taking a bath and singing, and on the morning of the seventh day Dolphin Comma was found dead on the floor of the closet. starved, but with the most unimagineably beatific express sion on his face, and the closet was still unpapered.
