The suggestion of the AID Club to place statement Of
WashingtOns VOTELESS condition on all letter paper
going ont of Washington from business is good enough
in fact the LIYEST suggestion made that sub
jet, l believe
But here is just good that the AID Club hes
started It's campaign and the V0TELIESS WASHINGTON
stationery is going to the far Of the earth:
D. +. J0RES, of the Department of Agriculture ex-
ecutve assistant the Congressional Seed Distribution
makes it. He recommends stickeTs all outgoing per-
sonal letters backing up the printed slogan of VOteess
Washngton's business men, Millions of personal letters
are sent out from pOsO6ce every year Mr. Jones has
certainly the right kind of suggestion in his letter. from
which quote:
Il notice that the business Of this city are placing
on their leterheads statement relative the voteess
condition OF soeaed citizens also inviting their CORE
spondents to assist In getting the vote This is well
enough as far it goes but do have here any
large manufacturing plants whose products are sold all
over the United States believe that the outside core
pondence OF business concerns somewhat limited

the citizens of this city supply of sckers bearing the
same printed matter is being placed on the letter

FELICITY.
Keep on writing friendly let
tiers to the young man, and do not
be in too great a hurry to disclose
your tender secret. While these
tactics have been known to work
IN the case Of abnOrmally shy men,
1t is just as well to let the average
young man think, at least, that he
IS doing the counting. Very often
this is not true, as Bernard Shaw
has pointed out, but it is an agree
SOle fiction, and pleasantly con-
serving Of masculine dignity.

A GOOD many mothers were
"A interested in letter sign
ed "a Southern Woman"
that appeared in this column last
Friday. My correspondent spoke
of the wrong a mother does a boy
when she tells him, "Only girls do
that"
UnconsciousIy she teaches him
to despise all women, herself in
cluded. With such maxims, South
ern Woman" contended the founda-
tons OF hunhood are laid. There
is not the least difficulty in making
a boy feel superior to everything
feminine, it is practically an auto
matte process requiring no rubbing
in. And yet mothers and fathers
the latter especially-rub it in to
the point of indeIibility.
These maxims, and the home
method Of applying them, are rem
iniscent Of those German clG Nics:
We are the salt of the earth"
Colt NIT uns" and the rest Of the
bOche ego-litany which would be
merely funny if it had not cost
the lives of over eight million
young men-the flower and hope
of this generation.
Mothers proceeding along these
we'll established Teutonic lines
will have no difficulty in laying
the foundation of an infamed ego
in their sons. Superiority is an
agreeable pill TO administer. it
provides its own sugar coating,
and, like famous patent medi-
cine. Children cry for it."
Happily school, boys clubs, scout
organizations often effect an anti
dote. The school pump applied to
the head Of the most conscientious
egoist has been known TO imme-
diateIy reduce swelling. Some
times, however, the home work Is
done too we'll and we have the
specimen that the United States
army defines as an "egocentric." a
man who is a law unto himself.
The egocentric stands alone, high
priest consecrated to the worship
OF his own unappreciated ego. He
II an outcast among his fellows, as
the Germans have made them
Eelves outcast among the nations.
Don't preach the doctrine OF
mails superiority to your sons, very
likely you will find yourself among
It's victims.

how, the answer was there, and is
substantially as follows. During
the war 1.-THE civil war; the infantry
used a button which resembled a

ARMY LIFE BOON TO
PENNSY employees

Effects of the simple life" in the
army have caused a marked improve
ment in the physical condition of en-
ployes of the Pennsylvania railroad,
according to DR.. James T. Foster,
medical examiner of the company.
Except where men have been in
jured in the service" DR.. Foster said,
none of our men has returned to
duty with the company without de-
cided improvement in his general
physical condition. This is particu-
larly true of the younger men in the
company's employ"
The younger men, according to DR..
Foster, in many cases had not proper
ly cared for their physical condition,
but the vigorous army training, to-
gether with the outdoor life has de
veloped their bodies to great ex-
tent, and all of them are returning to
the company "as hard as nails"
Every man who has been injured in
the service, if possible, is given some
sort of work with the company, if he
so desires In a great many cases,
these men cannot resume their form
er work, owing to their injuries, but
they are given a chance to work in
some department of the road where
their injuries will not interfere with
the discharge of their duties.

During the months OF April, May
and June the price of eggs usually
reach the lowest price. but as Eng
land, France and other foreign coun-
tries created a great demand for eggs
this spring. they scared in price. In
foreign countries, 1t takes one dime
in American money to buy single
egg and now that hot weather has set
in, eggs cannot be shipped across,
which should call for drop. But as
the moulting season is near, the price
probably will remain about the same,
