THE PATH TO PEACE.

Owners OF the anthracite coal mines will confer
with the leaders OF their striking miners and agree
upon wages and conditions under which coal will
be produced.
Public sentiment and public interes. repre-
scented by President Harding forced this action
especially when that public interest was backed by
the threat &c take the mines and run them in
the interest OF tho public.
This outcome viii be welcomed by the users OF
coal. viii DO happy II they assured that
sheir next winters supply Will cost them
fictitious prices as result OF the shutting down OF
such prices should be demanded, the
public is quite likely to believe that occasionally
there strikes by agreement between the leaders
capital the leaders OF labor in order TO Gre
ate shortages OF commodities for in
creased prices.
These two warning forces are doing under
compulsion what should have been done last May.
They Will meet canvas the situation and agree upon
conditions that viii be fair to both sides
and permit the production Of coal.
The unfortunate part OF all strikes matter
what Industry is affected IS that the consumer
finally Gays the bills Tie pays in inconvenience
and in real money and IN the end, only few ever
profit.
That this great nation now organized an
ndu stral basis has been able to create strong
body that represents the consumer and prevents
useless waste Of time IS Indictment OF its sanity
and wisdom.
Men who come to know each other seldom hate
each other the change Of sentiment be-
tween the soldiers who fought In the great

sent 10 the Rhine districts. fraternzed and became
friendly with the very they tried to kill but
few months before In wars, governments and
rulers hate seldom communicated, except
under pressure, to the populations Of countries.
The same thing of industry where there
IS in reality no clash OF interest between owners
and workers although the reds Of both sides
deavor to stir up class hatreds.
The worker who strikes hits not only at his i'm
mediate employer but at every other worker The
employer who engages in industrial hits not
only his own employees but the owners OF all other
industries
The policy OF President Harding in demanding
arbitration is to be comm ended for it is only
through arbitration and a peaceful settlement Of
differences that strikes and Industrial wars can be
averted
Let IL hoped that his success in this single
field may be followed by others in the railway
world and In the bituminous coal fields
This country Is IN the mood TO stand for
arbitrary and unreasonable demands from any
class or any faction. Industrial peace in this coun-
Try. while the rest of the world is IN chaos. is
more than imperative

PECULIAR MOODS.

Do you ever. In walking along street try TO
step on every crack in the sidewalk or change the
length Of your strides avoid stepping on cracks
altogether
In going upstairs. do you have impulses to take
certain steps 1.-TWO at time" the number
OF steps?
Famous old Dr. Samuel Johnson had similar
habit IN taking walk ne could not resist hitting
each picket OF fence with his cane Sometimes
lie wrote, it became an obsession with him that he
had missed picket Then he would walk back
several blocks and hit the annoying picket with
great satisfaction.
Every one. at some time or other, has peculiar
impulses OF this sort. Few stop TO analyze them.
These absurd impulses habits are mild symp-
toms of psychasthenia, according 20 Or. Abraham
Myerson. who teaches neurology In Tufts Medical
School
OF the forms of nervous and mental disorders
Psychasthenis, says DR. Myerson, is a disease
which the public calls and the scien-
tist calls "psychoneuross."
Generally these Peculiar impulses can be eIirnin-
ated by will power Every one has them at times
worrying about them. We all have
crazy moments"
Psychasthenia. however. develop into de-
cidedly diseased condition that interferes with hap
piness and efficiency.
In the background is the Disease OF Fear.
In advanced cases. fear becomes TN extreme
dread OF closed places or being alone, OF dirt, OF
disease OF all kinds and manners OF situations"
In extreme psychasthena. says DIR. Myerson the
difficulty of making up the mnd-of deciding
becomes great that person may suffer an agony
OF internal debate about crossing the street putting
the clothing eating the meals-in fact about
every detail of acting and thinking.
The scientist who specializes abnormalites Of
the body's endocrine glands steps in says that
fear is the result OF imperfect functoning Of the
Opposed 10 him Is the mental scientist who
claims that it's the other way around. mental
disorders cause the gandular acting up"

OUT OF STEP.

A Kansas teacher married, attended a dance
given by the parents OF her pupils in her school
house. she viii teach more. The school au-
thorities Of that state refuse her permission to
teach not because they consider dancing immoral
put because she used bad Judgment.
In most OF the larger cities social workers who
have studied conditions have pleaded and worked
fer permission to oFen the schools community
centers and 10 use them for Just such occasions as
that which cost this teacher her occupation.
These progressive thinkers have come to believe
that one OF the great America is that lack
Of neighborlness which existed before life became

old American life by encouraging the gatherings Of
peoD,e who live in the part OF the larger
centers.
They have tried bring people together and
found thai he young people OF the community
would shuu lecture and hasten away 10 public
dance halls unless these community parties offered
them the same sort OF amusement. They believed
that dancing with fathers and mothers looking on
or participating as better than the environment
offered in the public halls
Had this teacher been employed IN OF these
centers and shown the spirit Of friendliness
with the parents or pupils. she would have been
singled out for advancement and praise
But in Kansas, IL poor tudgment-and IL was

And debts kept on accruing.

is simply the application Of modern
medicine and surgery to the mental
ly sick.
The hypothesis upon which this
treatment is founded is that insanity
Is a toxemia or poisoning, due to
germ Infection in some part OF the
body.
II this Is true. It follows that re-
moval Of the infected tissue. when
the case has not gone too far. will
be followed by disappearance Of the
mental disturbance.
Method OF Cure.
1t was found in the Trenton hos
pital that the teeth. the tonsils. the
lower part Of the intestinal canal
and the organs of generation were
the parts OF the body most likely TO
be infected and capable OF elabora-
ting poison to perveFt end destroy
the mental processes 1t rs always
a chronic and painless condition
which Is present. Acute, active and
painful infections do not produce
mental disturbance. II is the slow,
lows grade" poisoning that does the
deadly work upon the mind.
The treatment consists OF remov-
ing the affected organ or OF re-
storing II to health and normal
action. BY getting rio Of the in
fected tissues. the absorption Of pus
and toxins ceases, and the clouded
brain Is cleared But this must
be done before the brain has been
hopelessly damaged
According to this new knowledge
heredity, which used to be counted
vital factor in insanity. may be
ydisregarded. Let no enc worry over
such a heritage Environment and
social surroundings are relatively
unimportant
In the normal conduct Of asy-
lums there may be expected 81
per cent Of cures. After the Trenton
system there are So per cent OF
cures. If these wonder work ers
have done so much in three years
what may be expected In a decade
May the work OF Cotton and
Draper go forward. and may It be
initiated in every asylum on earth!

There can be no greater afiiction
than the loss of reason. When the
will-power is destroyed. mental con-
troll is lost. and direction Of the
body and its acts Is gone. Nothing
Is more pathetic than TO find a man
who has been a leader among men,
or a woman who has been a strong
and forceful character, suddenly
losing freedom OF mind and becom-
ing the victim Of mental chaos.
A few days ago 1 mad two very in
teresting callers. They were Dr..
Henry A. Cotton, medical director

er, a New Yorker, who is the at

tai. These gentlemen came at my
request to explain the work they
have done in the cure and particu-
larly In the prevention Of insanity.

beyond words that human beings
must be taken into custody, must
be made prisoners for the public

been the only hope for the victims
Of certain types OF insanity. These

As Washington stood for every
thing that was noble. elevating and
right, and against wrong, evil. and
and against the saloon and liquor
business.
II Washington was first in
peace, first in war, and first in the
hearts of his countrymen,' he would
always be on the right side, and as
prohibition has been carried on and
won by the church and Christian
people, the father of our country if
he had been living today would be
found to be a leader for prohibi-
ton and to enforce it's laws.
Great men who have done some
thing worth while for humanity are
always willing to lend their ability
TO help q good cause along, and as
Lincoln freed our slaves so would
George Washington free our coun-
try from the curse and slavery of
alcohol.
l want to close with the words of
Judge Rantoul, Judge of the civil
court, to show the wrong of alcohol.
He says, Several of our greatest
judges have stated than 80 per cent
of all crime they have tried arises
from drink" Judge Rentoul says,
81 think exactly the same, but have
found evils arising from drink
greater in the civil than in the
criminal courts. The unhappiness,
poverty, hatred, and i'll will, arising
from the amcrnt of money spent
by some members of the family are
worst in their effect than the actual
crime, and l speak with equal ex-
perience in both courts"
So think that Washington would
favor prohibition. With greater
reasons why than any person in the
nation of the United States of
America.
The boys prize went to Horace
on this essay:
When George Washington was
only q small boy he was taught by
his mother never to be dishonest
or tell an untruth.
When Washington was just a
boy he was the leader in all the
games with his playmates, and it
was only natural that he should
be leader when he became a man.
