THE PARADox or WAR.

THE PARADOX or wAR 81
n It is the paradox Of war that its sa-
scri6ces may enrich the world.
America s latest war has cost thcus.
ands Of lives and untold agony, first to
the wounded, and then to the men and
women and little children who huve
stayed at home, powerless to do more
than to work and to pray, and who
loved with an ever-increasing love those
heroic ones who laid down their lives,
or who suffered the tortures Of the phys
ical body that the civilization Of q
Christian world might live.
Against this fearful total it is pos
sible, however, to balance a credit
which may remove something Of the
horrors Of four years of strife. It may
be that America alone is able to mar
shall such list Of war assets, and if so
it is simply another testimony to the
miracle Of democracy. But there are
millions of men who have been given a
kind of health they never hoped to
have. There are tens of millions,
hundred million Americans who have
| been elevated in soul and purified in
heart by the sacrifices Of patriotism;
and smallest perhaps of all these items
there are scores Of millions of Ameri-
| cans who have been taught by the ex-
igencies Of war the invaluable lessons
Of economy and thrift.
In the face of what was considered
an almostjnsuperable obstacle. the high
cost of living, more women and chill
| dren in all walks of life have been
taught that in America self denial
need not reach the point of want to
enable one to lay by store for the fu-
ture, or to contribute to common
cause.
There is scarcely an individual in the
| United States who is not, or has not
been, the possessor of a Liberty Bond
or "a War Savings Certificate. These
| Securities represent power that has been
| stored up for future use. This power
has for the time being been placed in
the hands of the Government.
| Like a torch, it is to be restored to
it's owner with it's fame undiminished,
while the business and industries OF
the nation must pay the cost Of the
struggle that made their continuance
possible.
The Fifth Liberty Loan campaign Of
fers probably the last big opportunity
to lay by savings with the cooperation
and for the assistance of the Govern
ment. 1t should be the endeavor of ev-
ery citizen who has sacrificed for the
! cause Of America to see to it that he
reaps his full share Of the benefits the
striving and the victory have brought,
particularly in so healthful an exercise
of civic duty as thrift.-Press Bureau.
GERMS PRESSED TO DEATH.
Nebraska State Journal: One of the
most interesting of recent developments
in the dairy industry is the announce.
ment that germs may be killed by pres.
sure. This leads to the belief that the
old method Of pasteurizing milk by
heat, which has been found objection
able in some respects, may be sup
planted. 1t is claimed for the pres
sure system that the delicate ferments
of enigma in milk are not destroyed
and that no changes are made in the
taste or general condition. The pres
sure is applied by means Of a hydraulic
pump. 1t is possible to apply as high
a pressure as 100000 pounds, to the
square inch. A pressure of $4,000
pounds to the square inch for Is min
utes has been found to kill many bac'
terra. Higher pressure can be applied
when the germs are extraordinarily
stubborn. Tn general it is believed that
a pressure Of 10000 pounds for 20 min
l1tcS will serve every prac tica1 purpose
This material is found in a statement
recently issued by the American chem
zeal society. Coming from such a
source it will be accepted as authori-
ltative as we'll as interesting.
