LOVE OF THE BEST.

Long years ago Ralph Waldo rmer-
son penned the striking line, "The
fiend that man harries is love of the
best" 1t is a phrase that grips the
imagination and fixes itself in the
memory. But it is much more than
phrase. 1t is clue to the solution
OF one of the most puzzling of human
phenomena. 1t helps to explain the
seeming recklessness of many a bold
pioneer of sky and sea-innovators
In alrplane and submarine travel-in
rlsklng almost certain death to ac-
compllsh an almost impossible feat
1t accounts for the resolution
shown by the great pathfinders who
no matter how extreme their suffer
ings, return again and again to the
self-appointed task of penetrating
tropical jungles, sun-baked' deserts
and ice-clad wastes. 1t affords in
sight into the passionate self-forget-
fulnesS of the scientists and inven-
tors, who rob themselves even of
food and sleep if thereby they may
hasten the gaining of the goal they
have set out to reach. In other fields
OF action it reveals to us the motive
underlying the persistency shown
alike by authors, painters, musicians,
skilled artisans and captains of in
dustry in ceasing from their labors
only when the inroads of disease par
alyze their powers.

masses who yesterday sang the Inter-
rationale now, in angry zeal, charge
evS-y one with treason who, in this
time of reed, does not cling to the
dear faGherland.
Every one anxious about Europe's
future must hope that the decisive
answer to this important question will
not be determined by generals who
must thing automatically. The
statesmen assembled in Paris cannot
wish that Germany will fall apart nor
that between Germany extending
from the Weser westward, and from
the Oder eastward to the Vistula, an
other Germany will arise which can
not feed itself, can scarcely vegetate
and must become an unextinguish-
able fever center.
The wisdom of these statesmen
must and, | hope will, make it pos
sible by definite formulation of the
conditions of peace, for all lands pop
ulated by majority of Germans to
enjoy modest prosperity by free work.
Would they be wise and worthy of
the office Of world judges if they did
not feel that the curve Of national
ism and capitalism is declining from
its highest point and that only be-
cause of this the League of Nations
and the spiritual specialization of hui
mainly are now made possible?

OCEAN is sO,OoO,OoO YEARS OLD.

How old is the ocean? It seems a
fixed and eternal fact, but the seas
had beginning and will have an end
Scientists say that when this time
comes the last drop Of water will
have been absorbed into the earth's
crust, its surface will be a desert and
all life will become extinct.
The age of the oceans has been es-
timated by a leading authority, Prof
Frank Clarke, United States geolog-
ical survey, at about 90,0O0,000 years
This is only an approximation, but
is based on carefully studied scienti-
fic data. All the water was once
contained in the vapOr that surround
ed the glowing, slowly cooling mass
which is now the earth. After the
gases combined to form water, the
process of making the ocean salt be-
gan. This was the work of the riv-
ers. Mineral salts were extracted
from the rocks over which they flow
and deposited in the sea-
Each year the action of the streams
is said to make the ocean slightly
more salty and this is the basis on
which its age is calculated The
amount of salt carried by the rivers
Of the world is computed by the sci
entists and compared with the total
quantity in the ocean.
After evaporation and the velocity
of currents have been considered, it
is possible to calculate how long it
has taken to make sea water as salty
as it is today.-Boston Globe.

THE CUNNING CAT AND THE BIB
ULOUS MOUSE.

l
A mouse fell into barrel of whis-
ky and he struggled so desperately to
save himself from drowning that a
cat was attracted by the noise and
rescued the mouse. "Do you realize
that you owe your life to me?'' asked
the cat. The mouse grinned in a sill
ly manner and said "Yes" "Well, 2
said the cat, Il just had my supper
and I simply can't eat~you now, but
tomorrow morning want you to re-
port to me on this spot about break
fast time. Remember, you owe your
life to me and I can do with it as l
please. Will you be here tomorrow
morning? Do you prOmise?' The
mouse grinned again and promised.
The next morning at 6 o'clock the
cat arrived in the cellar where the
barrel of whisky was standing. The
mouse, true to his promise, was there,
too. But he remained at the entrance
of hole in the wall, and it would
have been impossible for the cat to
have gotten him.
"You migrate" screamed the cat.
Did you not admit last night that
you owed your life to me, and that /
could do with it as pleased?" eyes, 4
replied the mouse, "but understand,
you big stiff, I'm not as drunk as
was last night"

are "baby teeth" They are perman-

Ously.
Teeth, she says, should be brushed
with warm water Cold water will
not remove the film which collects

do permanent teeth. If "baby teeth"
decay and are lost too soon, proper
development of the jaw is interfered
with and the permanent teeth are
likely not to be of first quality.

Give Children a Chance!

In certain public school in Wis
consln there is little girl who un-
til recently was very pale, thin. and
llstless. Every time she got on the
scales, which was frequently, be-
cause the doctor was trying hard to
discover her trouble, the Indicator
showed a decrease in weight until
her distracted mother began to dread
the ordeal of weighing None of the
attempted remedies seemed to help,
not even the tonic, prescribed as a
faint hope, which the child carried
faithfully to school in her dress peck
ct and took each day before lunch.
Finally the family physician sug-
gested dental examination The
dentist looked over the child's teeth,
grew suspicious, took an X-ray pic
ture and found four poisonous little
pus pockets back of four little teeth.
The four teeth were extracted. There
after milk, vegetables, and fresh air
which had been previously prescrib-
ed by the family doctor began to take
effect. At the next weighing, there
was an increase in the child's weight.
That was three months ago. The gain
has continued steadily ever since.
A public health nurse in northern
| Wisconsin makes part Of her work
the inspection and cleaning of teeth.
Forthis she is qualified by previous
training and experience as a dem
lists assistant. When further at
tention is needed than she can give,
the children are referred to dem
lists. From the many hundreds of
sets of teeth which she has examined
this nurse has reached certain con-
illusions which she is anxious to pass
on to parents and teachers.
Undernourishment, she finds, and
this is borne out by the best author
tiles, results from poor teeth. Teeth
which do not meet as they should
