Some Of the boys are wondering
whether to take baths oftener than
once week, and whether q chew of
tobacco preserves the teeth, and all
tnat sort OF thing. When they get
home they sort of want to know
whether to keep up q constant SAM
tary-policing OF themselves from feet
70 teeth, or whether to settle back
into the good old careless ways.
It's grand and glorious feeling to
Dc clean as a whistle, every dough
boy admits. There's a lve-b soap
glow to that feeling, inside and out.
But It's also a grand and glorious
feeling to lie in bed. To keep fit re-
quires rules. and living up to them,
what's more. And to follow the rules
OF sanitation to keep fit means giving
up present pleasures, such as lying in
bed. Steve Brodie probably gets most
or his converts from this one fact,
that men don't want to give up pres
ent pleasures. "Ill take a chance, !"
is the motto Of those who want what
they want when they want ito lie
abed. to pull at the bottle, or what
not.
Personal sanitation is q big Ques-
ton, and lots has been said on both
sides. Some say do this, and some
say do that, and there you are. There
was DiogeneS, for instance, an old
Greek argufyer who lived in q tub
with no water in it. He was, or ought
to have been, the first efficiency ex-
pert. His idea would run something
like this: Take the daily fifteen min
utes required to run a bath and souse
yourself, with perhaps ten minutes
for exercises. and another four min
utes for brushing the teeth up and
down, and five minutes for extras;
multiply that by seven, for clean
up week, multiply that by the weeks
Of the year, add in time for occa-
siOnal examinations by the doctor,
/. ETC., and what have you got? An
awful waste. or course, a Turkish
3 bath owner, or anyone interested in
modern sanitation would say to Do
genes that an ounce of prevention,
ETC., etc. But when Greek meets
Greek, or Turk. as the case may be,
what's the use Of arguing.
And then there is old Grand Paw
What's-his-name, for @ second in
stance In every community you will
find one of these old dodgers, who
drank nkker for the breakfast of his
life, and is still drinking 1t eighty
years after the breakfast. Further
more, in all his life he never took
care Of any part of himself. OF
course, he's been a sort of walking
scarecrow for forty years or more,
but he's still alive. That's the big
fact-to stay alive. And old Grand

Paw What's-his-name is very much
alive-though not to questions of
personal hygiene.
On the other hand, you have ath-
letic directors, and the Medical De-
partment Of the United States Army,
Insurance Companies, the Life Elk
tension Bureau and their kind. They
talk lot about baths, and prophyiac-
tic measures, and open air, and
snooze and booze, and q that. Stack
them up against Diogenes and old
Grand Paw What's-his-name and
what happens? They get back at
Grand Paw by calling him a "biolog-
zeal SPORT" or old sport, as you might
say. They mean that Grand Paw
does not run true to form, that he is
an odd stick amongst humans, that
he survives regardless of all rules.
They will quote you mortality stats
tics until the cows come home of the
chance you haven't got to become an
old codger unless you battle, and
brush, and breathe deeply and follow
the rules of health.

Peter Finds Out Where
KiIIy Lives.

When Peter Rabbit had gossiped
enough with Banker the Bank Swal-
low and had learned how Banker and
his wife actually had dug the little
hole in the bank where they had
made their nest, he took a short cut
for home across the Green Meadows
1t took hir1 past a certain tall. dead
tree A sharp cry of "Kill-ee, kill-ee,
kill-ee," caused him to look up just in
time to see a trim, handsome bird
whose tpdy was about the size of
Sammy J\y's. but whose longer wings
and tail made him look bigger One
glance was enough to tell Peter that
this was a Hawk, the smallest of the
family It was Killy the Sparrow
Hawk He is too small for Peter to
fear him, so now Peter was possessed
with nothing more that a lively Curl
osity and sat up to watch.
Out over the meadow grass Killy
sailed Suddenly with beating wings
he kept himself in one place in the
air and then dropped down in the
grass. In an instant he was up again
and Peter could see that he had a fat
grasshopper in his claws. Back to the
top of the tall dead tree he flew and
there ate the grasshopper.
Very trim and handsome was Killy.
His back was reddish-brown crossed
by bars of black. His tail was red

In a sense, this is Bernhard's old game

In the year 1911, said in ar article:
Every low act should be mercilessly un-

so. When workingman, however,

when paper like the "Riech' and other
middle class papers are suppressed be-
cause they are against the democracy.
Does the democracy of our country
consider her acts unjust and is she afraid
of the criticism Of her opponents? Or
are the cadets so invulnerable in their
arguments they can be conquered only
by physical force? The abolition of the
freedom of the press is a physical as
sault that is unworthy of our democracy.
10 let such veteran revolutionary as
Bourtsev, who has struck so many
deathly blows to the monarchy, rot in
prison because he has chosen for himself
the role as purifier of all political
parties is an act unworthy of democracy.
1t is to shame our democracy when we
permit a splendid man like Kartashov,
gifted worker like Bernatsky and a rep
resentative of culture like Konovalov
to rot in prison.
To intimidate men who do not wish
to take part in the mad dance of Mr..
Trotzky on the ruins of Russia with
threats Of pogroms and terror is a shame
and a crime
All this only provokes hatred of the
working class unnecessarily, and it is
the working class that will have to paw
for the mistakes and the crimes of it's
leaders with thousands of human lives
and with streams Of blood.
