some such disturbance nay prevent
the carrying into effect Of the plan
which now appears to be fairly GER

The people Of Hungary are OBJ

is an orderly government. operating
In accordance with principles which
are recognized wherever civilization

Hungarfans establish a monarchy,
that monarchy will be recognized by

Of the same principle the Soviet gov

It exists in fiat violation of the prin-

The Lenine government, as Is we'll
known, is an atrocious usurpation,
because under 1t the vast majority
Of the population, unarmed and I'M
organized, Is coerced into submission
by a small minority, backed by a
mercenAry army. If a free election
were held in Russia tomorrow the
Soviet organisation would disappear

There is no treasure, sought or snnE.
SO sweet az that Of being young;
Monarchs look down upon the boy < =
And envy him his years Of joy;
Rich men the barefoot lad behold
And for his chance would give their
r gold;
All men Of skill would give their fame
TheiE vanished youth once more to
claim.
He thai has youth still holds the seeds
OF greatness and it's manly deeds;
To him the morning skies are fair
And there is beauty everywhere.
Upon his heart no burden lies
have not ov~er-drained his eyes;
The glories Of the world remain
For him to fight for and TO gain.
There's none 30 great or rich, but he
Wishes once moro a boy to be:
lit grants to none such treasures
AS those which youth alone may
The glow of health, the radiant smile,
The freedom from the sham Of style.
Great deeds not done, and songs I'M
sung,
Belong to him who still is young.
Richer is he than millionaire
Who has no yet come into care:
Monarchs with all that they possess
And all their pomp and regal dress
Have no such bank accounts Of joy
AS those belonging to a boy;
Like shining pearls the years are
! For him to count who still IL young.

STRIKING THE NEAREST MAN.

STIRLING THE NEAREST MAN.
Have you ever noticed in yourself
or others a disposition to charge re-
sponsibility for a grievance up to the
man who stands next to you in a
't~ransaction?
This is a common trait or practice
with 0 people. The importance Of
THIS practice is especially notable at
this time with the air filled with coni-
plants. about the high cost Of living.
From producer TO consumer there
is with most lines of goods q regula-
ton channel through which Theses ar

process starts with the growers, pass
es then through the hands Of the can
ner, the tobber and the retailer and
then to the If 1t Is a silk
shirt tho raw silk comes from tho
producer to the silk cloth weaving
factory and thence Through the shirt
makers hands to the jobber, from
whence It goes to the retailer. from
whom It - purchased by the con8una-
err.
Back OF all these linea Of products
stands W other great factors in
price-making: One Of these is the
available supply Of any given product.
The other is. the ability or capacity
and disposition Of people to buy and
consume. Ninety per cent OF the adj
ditional cost OF food products today
is due TO under production. Not 10
per cent Of this cost, is due to the re-
taller. Yet we reverse the order and
charge 30 per cent Of responsibility
to the retailer and 10 per cent to the
real cAuseR.
The man who gets moro abuse be-
cause of the high. cost Of things today
than any other is the retaAler. This is
true because he is directly on tho fr-
ing line. He stands up next to the
consumer. He is the nan nearest the
fellow with the grievance. And the
man. with the grievance feels that he
! must land on somebody, and natural
ly reaches Tor the follow nearest to
bin. Next to the retailer, stands the
! jobber. The next heaviest nre il di-
rected towards him. And SO the thing
passes on down tho line. The result
Of this working out OF human nature
is to direct the heaviest fire of the
people against the high cost OF living

FOOD POISONING.

Press dispatches recently told of
the poisoning OF a number Of people
in New York by eating ripe olives.
Several persons died. An interest
was al once aroused az to the posi-.
bility of other cases of poisoning from
a similar cause: Investigations in the
department of agriculture found hat
the poisoning in this particular case
was caused by the bacillus botuIinus,
a bug of somewhat unusual name
with which very few OF us have be-
come acquainted: The information
furnished by the department is to the
effect that this particular germ is one
whose habits are not very well under
stood, which is fortunately Of very
rare occuFance, Int which is v
present under any known circun-
stances except in food which is al
ready spoiled. and which gives evt-
dences Of its condition by smell, color
or in some other way. The conclu-
sion Of the department Is that this
germ Is lever present in sound food
OF any kind, that it is rarely present
at all. but that it may occur In spoiled
food OF In kind whatever. The risk
arising from this u is naturally
very slight. The obvious precaution
il to use food which may be
suspected Of being in the slightest de-
gree unsound.
The following excerpt il from the
department bulletin:
IT the food were in all cases prop
eriy sterilized and perfectly sealed the
development Of the poison would be
impossible. but no method of preserv-
ing food has yet been found. the
Specialists say, that eliminates the oc.
casiona1 spoiled package. Failure
to steriltze may o become apparent
for weeks or ever months after the
canning OF the article. II signs OF
spoilaee have appeared when the
