ADAPTABILiTY

There are many marvellous things
in the world but nothing so wonder
full as the adaptability of a human
being" is the remark made by Miss
Helen Keller after conversing with
Willetta Higgins by placing hands on
face and chest and so interpreting
vocal sounds.
The manifestation of this capacity
in the human being is wonderfully
exemplified in the accomplishments
of these women. Miss Keller, who
became blind and deaf at the age of
10 months has achieved that which
but few of those fully endowed with
senses have been able to attain. Miss
Higgins, but 16 years old. has as
founded even those acquainted with
feats of the blind by her ability to
distinguish colors through sense of
smell. The soul with these, has in
sisted on adaptability, is developing
Capacity W tllc ulIIlOSt. III oOlllC IL
seems that capacity for adaptability
depends on influences from without
rather than from within. With all,
the inner or the outer influences are
continually at work We are becom-
ing adapted either as we would be or
as others would have us. The human
race so lives under conditions which
were thought impossible. This was
illustrated in the war when men of
the highest civilized types adapted
themselves to Conditions under which
the cave men existed and successful
ly overcame diabolical inventions that
seemed capable of depopulating
Hades.
Perhaps those who will be most
concerned about this adaptability and
the direction in which it is being
trained. are those who are mindful of
what Burbank has been able to ac-
complish with plant life, which is less
adaptable than human life. Likewise
they may wish for themselves as for
others the strength to say:
II am the master of my fate,
Il am the captain of my SOUL"

QUESTION FOR THE ANTi-vlvl.
SECTlONiSTS

i-vivisectionists are making a
great ado these days charging with
inexcusable cruelty those scientists
who employ members of the animal
kingdom in experimentation for the
benefit Of the human race. Such an
attitude. and there are many who
maintain 1t, belongs to an era that is
over and gone.
The anti" out to legislate against
the methods used by the scientist in
determining right methods of inocu-
lation, OF dosage and diverse treat
ments, like the majority of "antis,"
bases his action on biased personal
opinion with small regard for the
common good. The prohibition
list in most cases wasn't particularly
perturbed about the public welfare; 1t
was his own little nip and night-cap
in behalf of which he protested the
law. The anti suffragist was quite
often the man who preferred to retain
his masculine prerogative as a voter
and a politician. Most of the anti
tobaccoists never even wanted to
smoke, or else found it wasn't good
for their digestions or dispositions.
SO the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. in his
protest against animal experimental
ton is trying TO procure public en-
dorsement OF a personal opinion re-
sulting from his own unscienhfic sus-
capabilities. Scientific men are not
n heartless race. Wherever, in the
course OF their studies it is possible
to allay by anesthctic, anosthetic is
their practise. Nor will any deny
that by the results of their treatment
of animals Trey have saved many
lives and much suffering. One is
disposed TO wonder what might beNthe
attitude of our friend tho anti-vivi-
gcctionist, IL occasion should arise to
personally test his convictions.
Would he spare the hearts blood Of
n guinea pig when the use of such
could mean TO him saving OF time, of
health and wealth, friends and hap
piness?

REMARKS ABOUT POTATOES

Globe Spotlight" has the following
in his most readable account of the
Honorable Ira G. Hersey:
"F'or years Aroostook County has
been the greatest potato raising sec
ton of the United States. Through
its trackless forests and over its
frozen streams Benedict Arnold led
the Americans in their attack on
Quebec in the Revolutionary War"
Hasn't Mr.. Hennessey got the

dition to Quebec slightly mixed?
Arnold had a mighty hard time get

to blame for it. Had he gone that
