WHAT IS THE S

On scales in public places set there to en-
tlce a penny in exchange for which one will be
informed more or less accurately of ones weight
usually there IS a table stating what is the aver
age weight. considering height. In other in
stances weights are graded according to age as
well as height. Should one be easily impress
sionable and find that weight is less than height
would indicate as desirable, it would be liable to
create a fear that one is not quite fit. There is
a general feeling that if one is gaining in weight
one is gaining in health also. The converse IS
supposed to have the contrary effect. Under
weight IS thought to be especially undesirable.
A writer speaks of this idea as the great IN
derweight delusion.' He contends that weight
has little to do with health, that heredity may
have much to do with making people slender
and wiry. that it IS just as normal to be thinner
than the average as it is for others to meet re
quirements of the average.
The proposition which is laid down appears
to have reason as its basis Trying to measure
all people by kae same standard is much like
trying to measure a bushel of wheat with yard
stick. Tt does not meet the conditions. There
are thin persons, short persons, tall persons, fat
persons. If there is a normal it is an average
of the extremes, but it does not follow that one
who is average is better developed physically
than another who departs somewhat. Some
people cannot take on much flesh no matter how
hard they try. By nature they are spare. There
are more accurate tests OF ones condition than
any compiled table of averages.

BY THEIR WORKS.

The Allied control commission acting under
he treaty of Versailles has asked the German
government to strike out the phrase occurring
la the German artillery manual now in use;
The final object of these (artillery) instructions
1 : preparation for war
With the intent of this prohibitory measure
Il will agree. IF their leaders are not SO agreed,
least the plain people of all the nations of the
arth are agreed that there should be no more
PREPARATION for war. They would insist that
his applies to Patagonia and Persia no less
han it does to any other country.
But what kline of childish reasoning do men
rive at the conclusion that by merely striking
ut a phrase in a military manual we abolish
PREPARATION for war? It isn't what IS in the
Military manual that makes the war. 1t IS acts
Nor is this true of one country any more
han it is of another. This tendency of men to
Ibscure issues by CLOSING them over with
lords, to conceal facts by weaving words around
hem, explains a good deal of the difficulty
brought on us by the war. We think that by
he mere amassing Of an inordinate number of
words into what we call a treaty we can estab-
tsh peace and international relations that will
bring us back to normal times.
We forget that behind these words there
hust be sound and ineligible ideas; and that
hese ideas must have some relation to existing
|acts and conditions. These ideas must further
lave outlet in actions which are in accord with
|uch ideas. Even though we should expatiate

lincerity of our words. It is by our works and
ot merely by our words that we must be

SOCIALISTS SUN SETTING.

Now it develops that the so-callcd Labor
Farm" movement was merely an effort of the
Socialists to get back on their feet. All of the
more decent of the Socialists abandoned the
party during the war. The best of the laboring
classes have refused to follow the lead of Plum.
Howat and Foster. The radical Socialists and
the radicals in the labor unions, finding them
selves without a very considerable following,
have tried to make a show of forming an alliance
with the farmers, but not a dirt farmer would
have anything to do with them. A few profess
sional paper farmers attended the conference
at Chicago. but no one took them seriously.
Socialism can't get back to its former strength
by any subterfuge that can be devised.

lime TO LAY OFF FROM THE RETAILER

IF there is any class OF people who have
zen hard hit by the recent change in conditions,
! is the retail merchant. We hear much Of the
distress of the farmer and the strain the bankers
ave been laboring under is of knowledge to all.
but have you heard of any general movement to
ssist the retail merchant in these times of
tress? Yet no line of business has been hit
Earder than that of the retail merchant, the man
Fou meet every day and the one who supplies
our daily needs.
When the slump in prices came. it was the
|etail dealers who carried the load. The manu-
~acturers and jobbers were hit hard. it is true,
ut they were in many cases short on supplies
nd their loss, while heavy, was not in proper
ion to the small retail dealers. In spite of this
yell known fact the retail merchant has not only
Iot come in for any special consideration, but
as been heaped with a lot of unmerited abuse.
How many times one has run across such
Itatements as, wholesale prices have come
Town but the retail dealers do not seem to have
ound it out?" We have met with this statement
IA trade journals and business reviews of weekly
nd daily papers. 1t has appeared SO often that
bany have accepted it as true. Yet if any pur-
hasers of family supplies will compare the
Srices paid today and those paid two years ago,
hey will know that it is far from the truth.
During the past year the invoice price of
foods on the shelves of the retail merchant has
|een reduced from 20 to 30 per cent. On a $2O,-
loo stock this means a loss of from $4,000 to
1, 900. It means that the merchant has taken
! lcss of that much on his goods. Is it any won
Ter that many merchants have been forced to
he wall.
What IS more. the overhead cost of doing
business is greater than it was before the war.
Wages of help has not fallen to that of the pre-
var period. Rents in many cases are higher,
nd fuel and lights are higher. All these things
combine to make the retail merchants path any
hing but a rose strewn highway.
IF help comes to the farmer, indirectly it
will come to the merchant, but in the meantime
lie is struggling to keep the business world afloat
BY making sacrifice sales and taking his loss
Without any hue and cry. So just remember the
bcal merchant has his troubles and is still your
|riend-that he is doing his share to bring about
better conditions and help the old world back
Bnto its feet.
Tt will take time. but we believe things are
lightly on the upgrade and if everyone will do
lis part and go to work all will be well. Pros
berity will not come to a few. 1t must come to
