TO INSURE AGAINST POVERTY
Writer Is Confident That a Practical
Scheme Will Be Worked Out
Before Many Years.

Sickness is an insurable risk and
there Is no. doubt thatisome very COM
prehensive and acceptable scheme OF
insurance against 1t will yet be worked
out Whether, in the United States,
1t will be compulsory, state-managed
scheme Is by no means so certain. But
the more that subject is agitated the
faster sickness loss will be reduced,
for agitation will direct attention to
public health, and means that are
tried and proved will be more extern
sively employed to prevent sickness.
Steady, intelligent public attention
is what the whole problem of poverty
needs. There is no doubt that q
great part Of it is preventable. The
poor, it is true, we have always with
us. Time was when we had always
had slavery and smallpox with us.
Now out of half million persons one
person dies annually o.. smallpox In
the United States. Time was when
slavery and smallpox were generally
taken as a matter of course. AS soon
as they ceased being taken as mat
ter of course they were put into the
way of practically Misrepresentation
by any magic formula but by tireless'.
sure-footed, practical.minded effort.
At length we have the means OF re-
ducing poverty to its practical, ire
ducible minimum, It Is only very re-
Gently, as history runs, that we nave
had those means. But now we nave
. the wealth-not enough wealth for
limousine and grand piano to- every,
qinhabitant and four-hour Workday ;
but enough for. the essentials Of decent
physical existence to every family.
We have the social and industrial Or
ganization and the body Of scientlnc
knowledge. Poverty is a social loss
and social danger. We can take OUT
an insurance policy against it.-Wlii

Apricot oil.

One good that is working out of
the evil Of war is the demonstration
that chemists, under the spur Of de-
mand, can readily surpass the accom-
plishments Of German science. The
following is a concrete example: Cali
fornia has an annual by-product crop
Of 1000, tons Of apricot, pits, which
were formerly sold to Germany and
Denmark at $45 a. ton. When, the war
closed this market, and the price
dropped to SIS, California chemist
bought supply and started expert
menting.
He is now marketing a substitute
for olive oil; meal used in cooking /;
oil of apricot, known as bitter oil Of
almonds; American blue, from which
Prussic acid can be made. and num-
Der of other by-prOducts.

Queer Notions.

It is superstition that as soon as
a death takes place in a house, all
the looking glasses should be covered
up or turned with the face to the wall
If they are hanging glasses, and must
remain covered or reversed till the
body has been taken out to burial,
and that no person left in the house
must on any account look in the
glasses during the time between death
and funeral. 1t Is strange, and some
what akin to the idea, that it Is safe
to cover looking glasses during a
thunderstorm. I never knew. of q
looking glass which was known to
have drawn a lightning stroke"
though the same is possible. Queer
notions are often founded on facts

was served a fish salad. When all
had tasted the salad she asked for a
vote as to how many liked it and
wanted the recipe. Without exception
the women voted their hearty ap-
proval, and thus proved to themselves
that their prejudice was without
foundation.

About Eggs.

Ontario, Canada, now has an egg
''circle." This egg circle has been or
ganized for the purpose of eliminating
the wholesaler and middleman. Its
idea is specifically to prevent any per-
son or persons coming between the
farmers supply of eggs and the con-
sumer. More and more as the cold
storage warehouse has come between
the consumer and his egg, has the con-
sumer suffered from the separation.
