what it couldn't. And the
truck system-which once sat
isfied everybody-seems in a
fair way to die from overdoses
of legislation-just like the rail
roads.
Anything that everybody
finds useful is a utility, and as
such is pie for politicians. IT
you ever invent a new way OF
using mineral producing, or
preserving foodstufrs, or con-
serving energy, or developing
motive power from the tides or
solar heat or anything else,
don't do it too well. At least,
don't do it well enough to make
it useful to everybody.
Life was less complex in the
day when it challenged each
man to do the best he could.
We must learn a greater pre-
cision, now that the art of iiv-
ing consists in doing ones work
Just badly enough to escape be-
ing forbidden to do it all all.

MEDICAL SERVICE
IN THE SCHOOLS.

The greatest asset we have
far beyond crops and cattle
and stocks and bonds-is the
children of our land. They
will be the citizens of the next
generation. And if they grow
up to health and strength it
will mean that they grow up to
efficiency and power.
1t is our manifest duty to
take whatever means we can to
bring about the most favorable
conditions for the health of
growing children. That as a
nation we have failed lament
ably in this respect is shown
by the number of men in the Sc
lective draft who were rejected
for physical imperfection.
Thirty-three per cent of our
young men-one out of every
three-were below the normal
physical condition which max
es a man fit for army service.
Many of these young men
were subject to physical dis
abilities which could readily
have been prevented or RENE
died if they had been recogniz-
ed and properly dealt with in
the subjects childhood.
A thorough physical eXami-
nation of each child of school
age should be made twice a
year. This would lead to the
detection of many incipient
troubles and their cure. The
time will come when we shall
see the services of a doctor and
nurse available at every school
in the land, as part of the
school system.
The result will be a health
Ter, happier and more efficient
manhood and womanhood. We
should all advocate such a pro-
vision for the health of children
and should do all in our power
to bring it about.

UTILITIES.

A few months ago, among a
group of towns in one of the
northern states, the type of SER
vice being rendered by the
local railroads created an acute
situation. Freight charges were
eXorbitant and deliveries near
ly always a matter of specula-
ton.
The causes of the disease
suggested the cure. A few OPP
portunists got together, put up
some money, and started oper-
ating a motor truck service
among the towns. The differ
ent communities were lnter-de-
pendent, and welcomed the
new enterprise as Elijah well
coined the ravens. Consign-
ments of goods began reaching
the consignees on time. Peo-
pie with something to sell we're
no longer afraid of promising
delivery before the end of the
next war. Both in rates and
speed the truck service COM
peted successfully with the rail
roads. Everything was lovely.
1t was altogether too lovely
for the politicians. Politicians
never want things to be lovely.
They can't pose as saviors
when no one is asking to be
saved. They can't agitate for
reforms when nobody can
name anything needing refor-
nation.
So the professional patriots
reached the verdict that the
truck service was too aggres-
sively useful. 1t was, in fact,
a utility. And utilities are
things which must always be
taken from the people who
manage them properly and be
run by professional elocution-
lists who don't know how to run
anything, from a lathe to a
cigar stand.
Accordingly they demanded
legislation to regulate the SER
vice, and tell it what it could
and couldn't do-particularly

Why not start purifying the
water in your own community
and stem the germs remaining
after the plague of an epidem-
ic. A country well is assured
ly the means of much contagion
in its own vicinity if the water
is polluted. There is remedy
on the market, used by all the
large cities notable among
which is Chicago, that will kill
every germ or infection in fresh
water. Use it in your well
and be safe with yourself and
neighbors. You can get it by
applying at any drug store.

prevailed upon TO elucidate the
doctrines of bolshevism. He
replied with the usual generali-
ties about the abolition of
wealth, etc. and being asked to
give details OF the program he
explained that money must be
abolished.
There would be a substitute,
of course. We were not to re-
turn to the system of exchange
and barter. There would be a
certain kind of currency, but it
could not be accumulated. A
man who did any work would
get ticket at the end of each
working day. representing his
remuneration. 1t would have
a date stamped upon it, and its
validity would end in AZ hours.
He could either spend it in
that time or lose il, and in this
way the saving of money would
be impossible. There would,
therefore, be no capital.
Every sturdy community is
largely a community of home
owners-not rent payers. But
try to imagine a man buying a
house with a bunch of stamped
and dated tickets which will
all expire in As hours. Multi
ply this condition by the num-
Der of the population and you
can visualize one of the funny
features which we shall see
when bolshevism achieves or
der out of chaos-when, in a
word, it becomes systemized.
1t is equally easy to imagine
any kind of systematization
under bolshevist government.

The grocer has received
many complaints about the
holding up of the most part of
his prices after the war is over.
The public that gives itself up
to this idle talk is not well in
formed and should strive to be
before smirching the neighbour
hood grocer as a hold-upist and
purse-puller.
AS a matter of fact the war
is over, but not so the goods
laid in for the supposed con-
tinuance of the war by the en-
terprising merchant. The buy
ing was made by this person
when he thought the prices
were perhaps the lowest he
would be likely to find them in
some while. When negotia-
ting his purchases he had the
welfare of the people, his Gus
toners, at heart and was striv-
ing to secure for them the low
est retail prices that he could
while the securing was good.
The fact that the war ended

and left him so much so-bought
stock on his hands was his mis-
fortune as well as the consum-
ers who Immediately started
out to adjudge him everything
that could find its way into
print and conversation.
Let us rather thank him tor
the good intent with which he
served us and refrain from
more abusive criticism in the
future.

IN CASE.

Before the end of the war
the English had built and oper-
ated submarines that carried
twelve-inch guns. All the tests
applied to them proved them
capable of everything that sub
marines had ever accomplished
and then some.
The submarine is the weapon
which England fears more than
any other. Ii is the greatest
menace to the integrity of the
British Empire. England want
ed submarines tabooed at the
peace conference-which is
Just what happened.
To insure a verdict that a
certain type of warfare it too
horrible for civilized nations a
certain nation equips itself to
prosecute this horrible type of
warfare more horribly than 1t
has ever been prosecuted. To
prevent dirty tricks a nation
shows itself ready to be the
dirtiest in the crowd.
1t seems slightly illogical
yet eminently practical. No
nation is more anxious for
peace than ourselves, but we

Piece of Arel.n. Meteor.

Meteorites of Indicated great age are cons picuous by their absence from mu- scum collections. and 1t is suggested that such specimens may disintegrate and disappear from the rocks within a relatively short time after falling. The British museum, however, has late ly acquired slice of somewhat less than pound from a meteorlc iron that is believed to repressnt an ancient fall. The slice is from one of two sim- liar masses that were found in Jsnu- ary. 1905, within few miles of Dsw- son. Klondike. and that from their position deep in the oldest srsvels of the district are thought to have rested there since the Pliocene age or before From his study Of the original speci- mems in the Museum of the GeOlog'- cal Survey at Ottawa.

PLACE STATUES AT GRAVES
p.ou,e of Budapest Have odd Methcds of Perpetusting the Memory os
 the Dead.

While all civilized nations eitner bury their dead or place them n vau'ts ar mausoleums. there is curious cus- tom carried out by the people of Buds- nest. This is found in the large ceme- tery in that city which is known as tbe Kerepesi Kozimero. where nearly every family in Budapest buries It's dead. It is very large and contains a number of handsome monuments, es- ppcially the one to KosSuth. who IS known as the George Washington or Hungary.
 The visitor to that city of the dead will find at the grave photograph. painting or statue of the person who is buried beneath each stone, an exchange states. When the family Is wealthy there is the bust or recumbent tgure of the dead man or woman made from his or her latest picture. while beside It sits or stands the statue of the nearest living relative, man or woman. carved from life.
 In some instances the figures of several living members of family sit beside the grave of parent But perhaps the most interesting of all are pictures embedded In the gravestones covered with glass and thus protected from the weather.
 Still another pecullarity is the bronze or Iron lamp posts on the graves and the huge silver balls set up on many. The latter are like the colored glass balls used upon our Christmas trees, except they are always silvered and much larger. There seems to be no way of lighting the lamps. and the only inference Is that they are used to light the dead to heaven or where candles may be placed when relatives or friends are offering prayers for the dead.
