COLD FACTS ABOUT sTORAG,

If there is one modern subject filled, for the novice, with surprises, it is cold storage.
 How many persons, for example. know that cold storage and cold stor- ing are different enterprises?
 How many know that a frozen fish, perhaps six months out of water, is apt to be a chemically 'fresher" fish than a so-called fresh fish three days out of the water?
 How many know that the muSty taste that identifies the cold storage egg is due more to the straw-board in which it is packed than to the dis integrating effect of time?
 Yet the answers are plain facts, de- veloped and asserted in the main by government specialists.

Insomnia: Most people are them selves to blame for their sieepless nights. There are so many causes for the starting point, however, that l cannot even attempt to name more than three. I presume that useless and needless worry over things that are not in the least changed thereby is the greatest first cause. After a few sleepless nights the original cause of the worry is forgotten and another and more vicious kind of worry takes it's place.
 This time the insomnia is the cause of the worry and the worry perpet- uates the insomnia, establishing in that way vicious circle, each condi- ton aggravating the other. When night comes the poor sufferer is al- most exhausted and terribly sleepy, but instead of using auto suggestion to make hmself sleep he uses 1t to keep himself awake. This is simply because he does not know the psy- chic laws. The laws of suggestion and insteads of some one near and dear who could and would aid along this line, there is usually the worst kind of ag'gravating suggestions made and the trouble grows worse until the verge of insanity is reached
 The process which is usually the cause of so much suffering is about as 1 follows:
 | As bed time draws near the sufferer remarks about lying awake all of the previous night and how utterly tlreo and sleepy he is but instead of say1nE with conviction, T am going to sleeI l weM tonight he remarks with a sigh

Stabilize Conditions or peIIar7

A learned college professor and
economist had a very ingenious
scheme for stabilizing the dollar by
changing its intrinsic value to suit
the conditions rather than wait for
conditions to be stabilized. The, cur
rency commission Of the American
Bankers Association declare the
scheme to be impractical. They may
not know any more about it than
does the professor. but the chances
are that they do. because Of the range
of their acquaintance with actual re-
quirements.
Here are some of the reasons they
advance for the faith that is theirs.
and at least they are plausible:
1T would lead to foreign drafts on
our gold in any period of crisis since
the plan calls for Tightening the gold
behind the dollar when prices fall
and foreigners, foreseeing this. would
draw down their balance and sell
dollars short before the government
could make the change"
The commission believed the plan
would make "difiicult, If not impos-
sible," the maintenance of gold re-
demption in periods Of rapidly rising
prices. II adopted at this time, the
commission asserted, 1t would work
definite hardships and perpetuate the
suffering OF all those receiving fixed
incomes who have suffered from the
rapidly rising prices.
Had the plan been in operation at
the outbreak Of the war in 1914" the
report continued. lit would have
broken down as DR.. Fisher now ad-
mits. Il could not therefore have
prevented the rise in prices of war
time and consequently most of the
claims which DR.. Fisher had made
must now be abandoned.
THE great economic evils Of the
war have grown out Of wasteful con-
sumption and destruction. demorali-
sation and interruptions Of Transport
tation and the withdrawal of many
millions Of men from production. the
whole combining to create a scarcity
of goods. No change in the none
tary system could have prevented
this evil. The plan therefore could
not have been q remedy for social
discomfort and distress"

The efforts of the Rockefeller
along health lines are re-
ported very encouraging. A big work
has been done in France assisting to
control tuberculosis. BY the end of
the year dispensary organizations
had been completed in sixteen of the
departments of the country and the
French government has been induced
to provide half the cost of construct
ing and maintaining sanataria and
large local appropriations for the
work were obtained. On this side Of
the water great advance was made in
cleaning up the yellow fever breed
ing places in Mexico and Brazil.
Active campaigns have been con-
Quoted and health departments have
been established. Today that terror
of those who had occasion to visit the
tropics had been gotten so well in
hand it is little feared.

Down With the Spectators

Spectators, Of course. are not pro-
ducers and producers are the people
needed at the present time; indeed
this would be most opportune oc-
casion to discourage the speculative
element in business-it won't be
eradicated from business until it is
from human nature but it may be
discouraged Speculation has no in
herent power to reform itself. The
New York exchange promised to do
this some years ago. but hasn't and
now Is accused of manipulating for
its own selfish purpose the life blood
Of enterprise. the money. The gam
bling in food products is a menace
and deserves to be penalized. Spec
ulation in coal has much to do with
the prices we are paying and the
shortage. although 1t is probable that
some of the manipulation between
mine and consumer is not speeala-
ton. not taking a chance, there being
no chances about it. Rather, 1t is
comparable in morals to the prac-
tise Of stealing the humps from the
carload along its journey.
The case of the man who bought
At tidewater in New York $4,000 tons
of bituminous coal at six dollars a
ton-the seller was pinched by cir
cumstances-and sold 1t the same
day to one in dire need for SIT ton,
Is that of a Spectator. a profiteer, a
nonproducer; but how many are
there who would refuse to do the
same thing If they had the oppor-
tunity to clean up 100000 in a few
minutes? Evidently it is to general
disadvantage that such conditions
are permitted to exist. This specula-
tor was frowned upon by the con-
sentative men with the vested CAPT.
tai, assuming such practises tended
to bring the trade into disrepute.
Very likely he got at least a part of
what they might have harvested, for
from the time the coal leaves the
miners hands until 1t Is dumped into
our coal bins the harvests are rich.
and the local coal dealers will tell
you they are not among the favored
harvesters. How long shall we toler-
ate those who neither toll nor spin,
but do-get the money which belongs
TO others?

One Opportunity Graspsd.
(Washjncton Post)

The goddess of opportunity smiled
benignIy on the manufacturers of the
United States during the world war
and enabled them to gain a firm hold
on trade in various countries in
which previously their products were
practically unknown. Not the least
important of these countries was
Chile. Before the outbreak of hos
tilities the British held in Chile, with
regard to the supply of textiles, ma
chinery, ironmongery and tools. a
position that was almost impregna-
BILE. Their only serious competitors
there were the Germans. and they
were a long way second. During
the war. while the Germans. OF course.
at once lost touch and the imports
from Britain gradually dwindled. the
Chilean markets were flooded with
goods manufactured in the United
States, and since the armistice these
American products have more than
held their own.
