OUR COMMUNITY SPIRIT.

Occasionally, but not often, we hear
Of some community which is blessed with
a rare and priceless spirit-the spirit
of Give and let live" But it is so rare
as to be almost nonresident in this day
of sharp practices and buncc games.
There is much of that precious spirit
in his town, but there is room for more,
We have fully our share of good vii
and tolerance, but We could cultivate
more with honor to ourselves and profit
to the community.
Life to each of US consists mainly OF
what we make of it. We can cast the
soft rays of sunshine and happiness over
our existence, or we can fill our lives
with the shadows of greed and avarice and
Unsuitable longing for those things which
we may not possess
This is our home-the place where
most Of our lives will be spent-where
memory is always dear to US.
Shall we seek to cast out what there
is of the spirit of greed, and suspicion,
and ungenerous rivalry among men?
Shall we supplant it with one of kind
ness, of tolerance, and of good will to-
ward each other?
Shall we make honorable thrift the
watchword of our community?
It is the ideal existence, and is posi-
Bile to any community where the people
have the will and the courage to follow
the path of honor and gentleness where
ever it may lead.

SIMPLE JUSTICE.

Sooner or later congress must decide
whether or not the country is to pay a
bonus to our young men who defended
their native land on the bloody fields o!
France.
There is some opposition to the sug-
gestion, because the total runs into NIL
lions.
But here are two pictures, fairly stated
take your choice.
First. One young man remained vt
home, as it was necessary that some
should do He worked in munition fac
tories, or in the ship yards, or in any of
the thousands of places where work was
required. He received high wages
probably higher than ever before-a good
home in which to live, enjoyed his hours
of leisure and recreation, and was in No
personal danger at any time. He made
money.
Second. Another young man went to
the war, as it was also necessary that
some should do. He gave up his posi-
ton at good wages, forsook his means OF
enjoyment, exchanged a comfortable
home for the rigors of camp life, en-
dured the horrors of the bloodiest war
in history, faced the dangers of sickness
and disease, and received only pittance
in pay from the government. He re-
turned to find another man in his old
job, and in most cases had to be content
with what he could get. He gave from
one to two years of the best part of his
life to his country, and financially lost
money.
Should he, or should he not, receive
some additional recompense from the peo-
pie whom he so ssliantly served, when
the taxation to be required for this pur-
pose would be levied upon him as we'll
as upon others?
Just what is simple justice?

What They Mean
DID YOU DREAM OF STATUES?

THE modern scientific Investigators
i of dream phenomena all deny.
OF course, the prophetic quality of
dreams. Except in II regard. They
say that perhaps-and they emphasize
the "perhaps"-in the dream state some
incipient disease or disorder of the
system may manifest itself in dream
symbolism. which said incipient dis
ease or functional disorder would not
be manifest to the dreamer in his
waking state because rs vet of too
trifling a nature to exert an impress
sion upon the mind while occupied by
the world of relatives: That there
should be found in this way people
who still cling to the idea of q super
natural origin of dreams is ascribed
by the scientists to the fact that their
attempted psychological explanations
have, so far. been too inadequate ia
overcome the accumulated supersti.
tons of the centuries. And when we
consider the vast number of years that
man has inhabited the earth and that

Shoe and Foot Troubles

THE commonest form of foot trOu-
i BILE is that which the laity speak
of as "1at-foot,". or "fallen arches," q
condition which is, in fact. nearly al
ways caused by bad posture, by mus
cles weakened through lack Of proper
exercise, and especially by the use Of
shoes of poor type which limit muscle
action, especially action of the toes,
and gives a faulty weight distribution
on the foot.
When the barefoot savage walks, his
foot ''toes in," and the toes grasp the
ground at each step. In consequence
of this, the leg muscles, whose ten
dons u back of the inner ankle bone
and are hitched to the sole and the
toes, are strong and elastic from use
and hold up the arch of the foot.
With stiff shoes, especially with tight
or short ones, the action of. the toes
is limited or ever stopped, and the
muscles consequently lose elasticity
and tone.
If one stands much and walks lit
tie, all the muscles of the leg and
foot lose strength.
If one toes out in walking or stand

civilization as we know it is but a
thing of yesterday-as late as 1748
a COW was criminally prosecuted in
a French court and a dog was exc
cuted for witchcraft in Salem in 1892
when we consider this, it is not sur
prising that there linger in us psychic
remnants of the days when u naked
ancestors shuddered at the jugglery of
the Druid priests in the circle Of
~Stonehenge.
To the ancients dreams were serious
matters, though as early as the time
of Julius Caesar the wise had begun
to scott Mt them. as will be remem-
bered in connection with the celebrated
dream of Caesars wife Calphurnia.
On the night before Caesars assassi-
nation she dreamed that she saw her
husbands statue running with blood
from many wounds and the Romans
coming to battle their hands in the
purple stream. She begged Caesar not
to 90 to the senate that day, but he
refused to stay away lest the sena-
tors should laugh at him for being
afraid "because his wife had had a
Cream" Calphurnia's dream was
probably born of her anxiety for the
safety of her husband, but the mys.:
tics agree with her In regarding 1t an
unfavorable omen to dream of q stat
ue. They say, however, that if you
dream Of several statues, you will
shortly receive a valuable present
r! from an esteemed friend-a case, ap-
parently, Of safety in numbers.

TABLE D,HOTE DINNER

TINE table d'hote dinner is a sue
L cessful method Of saving money
at the expense of the appetite.
The regulation table d'hote dinner
consists of three courses with one
guess. The patron is allowed to look
at a long, s%erpentine bill of fare which
seems to present untold possibilities
for so cents, but after reading it all
the way through and deciding to Or
der everything in sight he stumbles
onto a few lines Of brusque fine print
which eliminates everything but the
roast beef and iced tea. This ex-
plains why so many patrons rise up
from a table d'hote dinner wearing a
wan and c%restfallen look.
The table d'hote dinner was in.

to buy. 1t is favored by hotels and
restaurants because it has been dem
onstrated that almost everybody
chooses the wrong meat Of vegetables
and is stricken with a total paralysis
Of the appetite. 1t is estimated that
the American hotel makes more money
off the table d'hote victim than it
does off the six by nine sample room
with a North pole temperature.
The main idea back of the table

patrons into the open jaws of the a Ia
carte service. This is a merciless sys-
tenn by which two strips of bacon and
a plate of buttered toast are made
to cost more than a weeks board ut
