"a FTER the whirIwind and fire or words

4 IA lied Germs OF peace, will come the still
small voice OF reason bidding her take them
and be thankful they are no soveIer This
first stormy response was to be expected, and
there will be many gust, no doubt, before
the treaty is signed. No nation, Germany
least of all, couid bow to the grim logic Of
utter military defeat without prelude Of
protest They who gave forty years of labo-
rious and cunning preparation to plans for
conQuering the world and looked confidently
forward TO debating terms which would
make groyelers of their victims, now find it
gallingly hard 20 accept what Justice has sent
them. To be stripped of all power to resume
the old intrigueS and aggressions is natural
ly grievOus to them.
But what less could they expect, after
avowing the policies and pursuing the course
they did? When the leaders of present-day,
Kaiserless Germany take cool counsel they
can but see the reasOnableneSs Of the Allied
demand for a blotting-out of that militarism
which scoffed at covenants and defied laws
and strOye ruthlessly to overrun the earth
That nothing more less, is the object Of
the terms now offered. Rigorous as they are
they aim altogether at security and durable
peace, not at crushing or pillaging the Ger
man people. There is nothing of the brutal
tyranny of the Brest-LitOvsk and Bucharest
pacts in the treaty which the Versailles con-
ference has presented. Certain territorial
aEgnments therein proposed might be recon-
sidered; but, taken all in all, they are of the
essence of -Quity.
1t is quite probable then, that after her
threats have spent themselves and her
maneuverings failed, Germany will accept the
terms substantially as they are. What else
can she do, with no army save a broken rem
nant of Hindenburgs legiOns, no navy worth
the name, no credit at home or abroad, no
food save what her generous victors aIlo9
her? 1t is barely possible that she might
choose to go Bolshevik and force an Allied oc-
cupation of her domain Indefinitely. But
that is not probable, the German practical
sense being considered An early peace is
reasonably to be hoped-and a stable one.

n GAIN and again people say or write to
~ me:
81 am lot exactly victim of in
somna, but I often fail to let good nights
rest. Sometimes | toss for an hour or more
before falling asleep Sometimes L wake
too early in the morning. Sometimes l go
to sleep prompu. enough, but wake after
a short time and then have trouble going to
sleep again What is the best remedy for
these disorders of sleep?"
There is no best remedy, for the reason
that they are disorders that may spring from
any one of numerous causes. The thing to
b. done is to search for and remove the
particular cause responsible in the part1cu-
lar case.
Many people find it difficult to go to sleep
if they have been at all excited during the
evening. Thus some people are troubled
with wakefulness after an evening spent at
the theater or opera.
Here the proper remedy is not to avoid
the theater or opera, but to tranqullllze the
mind before going to bed.
This may be done in various ways Some
find it helpful to glance through neWspa-
per, write lette-, or read book that Will
divert the attention from the overexclung
ideas.
Physical causes must also be reckoned
with There are some people who cannot
sleep we'll if they drink coffee in the even
ing, smoke moro than usual, or eat too
heavy dinner.
people awake. On the other hand there are
some who will find it helpful to eat little
something before retiring.
This is especially likely to be true OF peo-
pie troubled with early morning Waketul-
ness. They wake because they feel the pangs
of hunger.
The same cause may be at work to dis
turb the sleep of those who wake an hour
or two afte. retiring. Or in their case the
trouble may be due to unfavor2ble condl-
tons of the bedroom.
Perhaps the room is too cold, perhaps it
is too hot. It may not be sufficiently venti-
lated. Bad air is a common cause OF rest
less sleeping
Too much bedcoverng will tend to break
sleep. So will too little. Each individual
will have to decide his own requirements, re-
Numbering that he should allow himself no
more bed covering than will keep him COM
fortably warm.
Of course quiet and darkness count for
much in insuring sound sleep. Street lights
and morning sunlight tend to disturb the
sleep of many. IA such cases the device OF
covering the eyes with a black stocking or
black silk cloth will be found helpful
Darkening the room by closing shutters
and drawing curtains is not to be recon-
mended since it may mean extremely in
adequate ventilation. Which itself, as al
ready said, is peculiarly unfavorabe for
sleep.
And it is most important of al to remem-
Der, as pointed out by Cabot in his excellent
"Layman's Handbook of Medicine":
''The quality of the night depends on the
quality of the day. Routine, peaceful ac-
tivity Of mind and body, outdoor air, and
exercise make for good sleep

WE TWO
By DR.. Frank Crane


You are sitting over there with your knit
ting and [ over here with my book.
With us, invisible companions, silent
ghosts are forty years. their arms full OF
memories, their faces sweet and smiling, yet
z little sad, as all children of the past are a
little sad.
Thanks to the favorable fates we have this
room and somewhat of creature comforts
And quiet, gift it takes old age to under
stand. All is still except the fastening clock
upon the mantel.
The folks have been here today and the
grandchildren, but they have gone to their
homes. The clatter of racing feet, the shrill
laughter, the babble of tongues have ceased
and it is as if we had come into waveless
pool after the roaring rapids. In this pool
Of silence you and alone.
We two!
We two, whom destiny has made one.
Long ago--is it forty years?-we met as
wandering notes in times sunbeam, between
us the primal affinity. within us the selective
passions. Under the June trees I kissed you
first. How shy and afraid and delicious was
your girlhood.
Since that day what storms, what ship
wrecks, what partings and perils what adj
ventures what strife and peace, what fears
struggles, what happy hours of companion
ship, what gladness and bitter tears, and
nOW--we two alone, and silence circumam-
bient!
[ would rather you were here, woman,
with your gray hair, than any fresh bios
som of youth. Not divine Aphrodite, not
Helen of Troy. not any woman of earth or
heaven could be to me what you For
over us is the chrism of time, around us
life has poured it's full meanings. And the
ghosts are with you.
0 my love! to me you have interpreted ex-
istence. You are the ever-fXed landscape OF
my soul. the stars of my sky, the mountain
peaks of my valley. Where you are is home
Where you are not is inconsistencies.
AS l look at you I realize the wonderful
secret known only to those that have taken
life's thirty-second degree-that there Is
something greater than love- although love is
the greatest thing in the world-it is loyalty
Oh I rest in you. For we're I driven away
in shame, you would follow-Of course
Were I burned in fever, your cool hand
would soothe me. Were 7 hung to the high
est tree know who would stand there and
weep and wait Were I damned to the low
est hell. you would follow and if they asked
you. "Will you go, too?" you would answer,
saying, "Of counsel"
have been long time on this globe and
have seen much disappointment but l have
amassad one treasure-yOu. With your
soul pearl Of great price, clasped in my hand
shall I pass, and take my place among the
well-to-do of heaven.
'Tis you who aro my past, you alone re-
deem and make t. .erable
the insufferable eyes
Of those poor Neutrality-suspicious.
Those fatuous Intellectual Yesterdays
IT'S you who emain. For you are all my
future. Facing the multitudinors silences OF
what is to be- I should shrink, were it not
for you Not alone shall front my judg-
ment There. as here, it shall be-we two!
NV soul and yours
o hand in hand let us fare forth, two ghosts
into the @hOstlineso,
The Infinite and aFoundinE solitude5,
Beyond-O beyono-beyond!

One hundred and Gixty-three billions of
dollars! 1t is a sum inc0nCeiVable to even
the most fertile and wide-reach,ng magma
ton. To count 1.-THE or hundredth part
of it coin by coin would be like numbering
sands or drinking oceans dry" One hun
dred and sixty-three billions Of 10lIars 1t
is not far short of the total national wealth
States of America, including the value Ct all
kinds of property, real and personal It is
five hundred times as much as the entire cost
of constructing the Panama canal. and two
hundred and fifty times as much the total
annual expenditure for our country's com
mon schools.
This mOnstrOus sum, which if rightly APP
piled would have cleansed the eartl of pesti-
lence and carried the ligh of learning into
the darkest corners of world, now represents
the debts which he nations shoulder in con-
sequence of the recent war Because a clan
of mad militarists in those 'sullen palms,
that dip off from the North Sea took it into
their heads to go on a rampage for spoils and
power, mankind must bend beneath the
heaviest burden in all history. Because there
was no organized and effectual means OF
promptly enforcing the worlds common stat
utes and common conscience against those
Prussian outlaws, vast billions Of wealth that
could have been used in Pushing forward the
frontiers OF civilization and lifting humanity
closer to the stars must be spent in replac-
ing the bare rudiments of progress and for
bills that rel" esent sheer destruction.

Gus toll of the dead and the manned, the shat
tered homes. the blighted lives and broken

Georgia Fruits.

Chasing Georgia apples with the finest for
flavor, color, keeping-qualities and market
ability, that are to be found in America
Virginia, New York and Washington State
not excepted, the Savannah Morning News
remarks: Georgia apples should be en-
tered in the race with Georgia peaches and
watermelons-to become as famous as the
citrus fruits of other States. Georgia can
raise apples; ought to raise apples; ought to
let the world know that she is raising ap-
pies and can raise more"
The fact is Georgia apples are fast making
their way to celebrity, having won in recent
years some of the highest awards at national
expositions. The States 1918 yield of this
truly delectable fruit amounted to one mil
lion seven hundred and sixty thousand BUSH
els, a considerable increase over the year
preceding and recorC4 nothing short Of Won
derful in comparison with the meager begin
nings of a decade so ago. In all it's
branches indeed, GeOrgia's fruit-grOWing in
dustry is an infant Hercules. It was not a
great many summers past when peach or
cIards in this State were family dover
rather than commercial pursuit; today they
number some eighteen million trees and y ED
a yearly revenue of more than ten million
dollars. The larges, pecan orchard on earth
is in Georgia, and the famous "paper-shells"
are laying the foundations of a handsome for
tune for many a farsighted investor. For
ty-six different varieties of fruit can be sue
cessfully grown in Georgia; and in, the course
of the next ten or fifteen years the majority
of these will doubtless be brought to as
profitable stage of development as the APP
pie and the peach now enjoy The tabled
Hesperides were never so wonderful in
fruits as the hills and valleys of this sub
stantial Commonwealth

"The Good Roads STATE.

The Triton Gazette can give reasons for its
Good-Roads State of the Union" In recent
months, our contemporary points out seven
counties have voted highway improvement
bonds considerably in excess of three million
dollars, and eighteen other cou1 ties are soon
to pass upon large bond proposals for hat
same purpose. AS to the quality of the con-
struction thus to be provided:
''Many of the counties have had So
called good roads for years, but now
they are going to have something bet
ter. Permanently good roads are to be
built. While the roads we have are far
superior to the old sand-bed and three
trail roads, they are not in the class
with the highways which the counties
voting bonds will build. The roads now
to be built will be as long-lasting as it
is within the power of human skill to
construct"
With preparations at once so extensive and
so thoroughgoing, Georgia assuredly is on
the way to win national fame as road
builder. And what more profitable distinc-
ton could she earn? None, if with the i'm
provement of highways she links the develop
ment of her rural educational interests, in
Guiding common schools and libraries. These
lines of high public service, backed by the
States wondrously rich natura- resources,
will prove to be irresistible magnets, drawing
thither the country's most desirable elements
of hOme-seekers and investors.
Let the movement for gOod-rOads bond IS
sues go steadily forward until every GeOr-
gia county has highways equal to the ma
TONS best, and all are bound together in q
Statewide system serving and enriching the
life of the whole Commonwealth.
