Bogcotts and Cheaper Breakfasts

AS means of bringing down the prices Of
foods that cost too much the one already tried
by the National Housewives league and now
again advised by it is sure to be successful. 1t
has, too, the charm of simplicity, being moth
ing more than refusal to buy the objection
ably expensive articles until they can be OBJ
tanned more eheaply At present the sugges-
ton is to boycott butter, coffee and eggs, two
of them counting among the necessaries of life,
but not really deserving that name while other
things to take their place can be obtained and
the third being little, if anything. more than a
luxury the Abandonment of which will hurt
nobody and do some people good.
The planners of the boycott should remem-
ber, however that while, in the way proposed,
the prices of these things unquestionably car
be lowered, to do it will require the united ac-
tion of large number of housewives, and they
must be prepared to encounter. as an newt
able result of their triumph, rise in the price
of the foods to which they turn as substitutes.
They would be wiser, probably, if they did
not attempt to do so much at once-if they con-
centrated, that is, on single food and waited
till they had brought its price down before
they tackled another. And, after all, better
than boycott of anything is the careful and
economical use OF everything 1t is the elimina-
ton of waste and excess that is best calculated
to bring consumption into adjustment to scanty
supply.-New York Times.

The Girls Men Mdrru

There seems to be no end to the discussion
of marrying and giving in marriage, and the
viewpoints of the disputants are as various as
their previous condition of servitude. The
latest to add fuel to the ever-lambent fame of
the controversy is DR.. Kristine Mann who tells
the International Conference of Women Ply
sicians that what every woman knows" today
is that pale, weak women are most appealing
to men" because of the chivalrous instinct of
pity aroused in man by the sight of fragility
and pitiable dependence. To this finding many
will enter their respectful demurrer. There is
nothing particularly attractive to a man in the
prospect of having life partner whose health
is precarious and who is unable to look to the
ways of her household or to be the participant
in the husbands interests in his business or in
his recreative hours. There are all about US the
most beautiful and touching examples of devo-
ton and interdependence between husband and
wife, when the one or the other is enfeebled by
an inherited or an accidental ailment, but such
an ailment is liability and not an asset in the
partnership, and while in the mid-Victorian
days, of which we hear SO much, it may have
been fashionable to look as though one were
passing into decline, and it may have been
considered soulful and spiritual to be un-
healthy today it is held to be morbid and even
immoral to make anything less than the most
and the best of the bodily tenement that is the
home of the immortal spirit.-Philadelphia

GOVERNMENT AND THE MINERS.

remarkable situation confronts the gov
ernment of the United States At the moment,
arising from domestic difficulty. For the
time being the nature of the dispute between
the bituminous coal operators and the miners
is pushed into the background by the greater
issue between the miners and the government.
This has been squarely joined. federal judge
issued an order, forbidding the miners from
doing certain things to which order no atten-
ton has been paid in the way of obedience.
What does the government propose doing?
Attorney General Palmer is quoted as saying
he will not undertake any wholesale arrests, but
will move against the leaders. Apologists for
Mr.. Palmer, interested maybe in his incipient
presidential boom, blame the president for the
suing out of restraining order. Mr.. Gompers
thunders against government by injunction; as
matter of fact the despotc process is re-
pugnant to most Americans. but the issue here
is fairly between body of men who propose
using right of citizenship in an arbitrary and
despotc manner, and the sovereign power of
the whole people. If the blow fell only
on the prohteering coal operators against
whom the president of the American Federation
of Labor inveighs so warmly, the public might
watch the proceedings with indifference. But
the whole nation is concerned, for the strike
means the limitation of food and fuel to all.
No wrong or injustice is ever righted by the
commission of another. However strong the
legal position of the miners at the outset, NOR
ally it is indefensible, and since the court has
intervened. the legal right has been temporarily
suspended. No cause can permanently suffer
through judicial inquiry, fact the miners ap-
pear to have overlooked.
The case presents the democratic admins
tration in its usual ineptitude, approaching the
crisis sideways merely drifting into it, as we
went into the war stern foremost instead OF
head on. Firmness when needed has never yet
been shown by the present government, and
probably will not be in this case.

New Warfare on Disease.

The proposal of DR.. Simon Flexner that
efforts to combat epidemic disease be carried
to the ''seed beds" finds an echo in Great
Britain, where speakers, addressing classes at
the opening of the medical school laid en-
phass on the fact that medical science has
busted itself with treatment of disease after it
had developed and neglected looking after the
cause of disease. The ideas are closely enough
related to invite consideration together. The
Flexner plan is to go into the places where
plaques are born and clean them up, as we
have cleaned up the yellow fever and are COM
batting malaria, the hook worm and other dis
eases. The British thought looks to study
of causes and their possible removal. The one
has the broad, general scope Of worldwide
endeavor for better ways of living by ex-
terminating easily accessible elements of dan
ger. The other applies the effort to more
intensive study of the machinery of man, with
view to its better adjustment. Either invites
man to take more pains in his way OF living,
that all the world may be gamer.

LenqtheninQ Human Life

DR.. William ]. Mayo, in his address before
the American College of Surgeons, made det-
mite promise of prolongation of life by med
ical science which laymen will accept in good
faith 1t is only, to be sure. an additional III
years; it is not perpetual youth and it is not to
Be achieved by magic elixirs or by the grating
Of glands.
But this, new decade of years won from dis
ability and death and joined to the IS years
which Dr. Mayo says have been added to the
average length of life since the close Of the
civil war" will mean that Americans born be-
fore the present century is half over may ex-
pect to enjoy quarter Of century more Of
activity and usefulness than their fathers did
when Lincoln was president.
Certainly that is boon for which most peo-
pie will be more grateful than for delusive
promises Of physical Immortality. Like the
hymn writer, they would not live Away" they
will be generally content with the "threescore
years and 10" Of the Psalmist. given that they
retain their faculties apd their vigor unim-
I paired for that span of fife 1t is the prolonga-
4 1ion Of life as respects its productive possbl-
ties that mainly appeals to laynlen, and they
will attach more weight to the assurances OF
conservative medical Investigators than to all
the prophets Of perennial youth.-New York
