almost outside OF the conflict, and thus
best adapted for harmonizing interests
among the Allies and for imposing con-
ditions upon the enemy in accordance
with the fundamental principles OF a

The CorTiero drtdlio considers that
the whole problem is based upon whethe
the Austrian dynasty still has time TO
come to an agreement with It's own peo-
Piles.
The Tribune says Mr.. Wilson's reply
has removed the sceptre from the EN-
perors hand. passing 1t into the hands

Childish SeIfishness.

Unselfshness is one of the virtues
which has to be cultivated, for we are
not born unselfsh. We have to be
taught this virtue and Of course the
greatest teacher of all is love. I am
inclined to think love is the only
teacher. Henderson says, "To get
children interested in impersOnal
things is to make them unavoidably
unselfsh. Solitary children, only sons
and daughters, are, as q rule, extreme
ly selfish, for the simple reason that
their lives have been so overwhelming
~ personal. The way out is through
group activities on the part of the
whole family through pleasures as well
as through service. If life is to be
permanently successful, and happiness
genuine and secure, the major interest
must be impersonal, must have to do
with something bigger than the little
self, must concern itself with the abid-
ing and universal things. "-Alice Bar
ton Harris.

Diet for Weicht Reduction.

Fuel is the main food requirement
of the body. A certain amount Of fuel
keeps the engines of the body working
normally and produces energy. The
surplus Of fuel derived from the food
forms layers Of fat. So it is evident
that the matter Of keeping the body
weight where you wish to have it is
merely a matter of arithmetic, says
Popular Science Monthly.
Certain foods have an enormous fuel
value in comparison with others. For
instance, it would require SO worth of
lettuce and tomato salad to furnish
the amount of energy that 80 cents
worth Of butter or 10 cents worth Of
sugar would supply. No one would
think of feeding exclusively on any Of
these foods, but it is easy to see that
the limitation Of butter and sugar and
the introduction of such foods as let
tuce, tomatoes, celery, carrots, spin
ach and fruits, all Of which have low
fuel value, instead Of fats, milk, cream
and Oil, pastry and sweets, would enor-
mously reduce the fat-forming ele-
ments in the diet and yet fill the stom-
ach and satisfy hunger.

COMBINE TRUTH AND HUMOR
Pithy e pitaphs on Tombstones in Brit

In a search for the unusual, one
would scarcely expect to come across
it on tombstone. But full justice
can in some cases be done to a de-
ceased in q single word.
There is a stone in bennington GEM
etery dedicated to the memory of one
j. Z. Burgess, who before laying aside
the trammels of this mundane sphere
edited the bennington Spa Courier.
His career and end are adequately
summed up in one word-"Resting."
A departed auctioneer who lived in
the city of Worcester had inscribed on
his memorial stone as an epitaph,
"Gone." Brief, economical and retro

the deceased, just two expressive
words-"He was" Surely a sermon

the briefest epitaphs are to be found

Affected BY ICE DEPOSITS
Seeming Proof That Crust Of the Earth
Has Had Periods Of Rising
and Falling.

The elastic character of the earth's
crust is one of the most certain facts
of observation; great areas rise and
fall under the action of varying pres
sures. 1t is, therefore, reasonable to
suppose that the accumulation in pleis-
tocene times Of vast continental gla-
ciers one or two miles in depth would
exert such downward weight pressure
as to cause a subsistence of the great
areas affected.
This seems to be borne out by a
marked and very apparent rise Of land
in the northeastern section of the
North American continent, in COM
paratively recent times. III. L. Fair
child, writing in Science, states that
this area, covered by the latest Amer
lean ice sheet, the Labradorian glacier,
stood much below it's present position,
relative to sea level, when the ice
sheet melted off, and that slow uplift
brought the land to it's present alti-
tude. This is indicated by the pres
ence Of the remains Of sea animals
and plants throughout inland parts,
by beach formations in parts now
away from the sea and general geo.
logical considerations.
The region of this recent rise of land
extends from New Jersey to Hudson
strait and as far inland as WiscOn-
sin.
