ACID0SIS is
NOT CONTAGIOUS.

In view Of the apprehension in
the minds Of the public, in regard
to the condition acidosis with
which a number Of children have
died recently, there is entirely zoo
much alarm, it seems to US.
We have consulted Sajous's An
aiytic Encyclopedia Of Practical
Medicine, from which the follow
ing facts are given:
Acidosis, or acid intoxication,
is a condition which results from
a number of diseases. All Of the
levers, Bright's disease, surgical
shock, anesthesia from chloroform
and ether, starvation, diabetes, and
improper diet.
The American journal on Dis
eases says that in treating acidos-
is we are dealing with a decreased
alllalinisy of the blood. b
This is usually due in normal
children to a diet in which basic
salts, such as those. supplied by
vegetables, cereals, citrus fruits,
etc, are too scant. Such children
show as prominent symptoms, re-
current vomiting and an exagger-
lated respiration. 1t is also known
that this Is commonly found in in
IantiIe dialThoea. fa.E raof
In none Of the authorities quot
by the above encyclopedia is it
mentioned as a contagious disease,
but really as a diseased condition
which sometimes accompanies or
follows any Of the above diseases.
II it will be of any assurance
to our patrons, we will be glad
to quote the opinion of any local
phy7icianaorapy physician ofliote
outsIdP IF the city to assure The IN
that This is NOT a contagious dis
ease.

if you please, not on the other side
of the hills"
1t is sound philosophy, and has
made fortunes for tens of thous-
ands besides DR.. Conwen.
The home acre is the most neg
lected spot in this country. We
are prone to look elsewhere for
the good things and for the bet
ter opportunities. The young feel
that in some other place othes
than home they have better oppor-
tunitlcs. Emerson, We believe, it
was, said sooner Or later the world
makes beaten path TO the door
of the man who does something
well, even though he be hid in a
forest.
Now if our communities who
are readers Of the Record
er, could be made to understand
that there is plenty of opportuni-
ty in some line Of effort upon
which they could build the life of
that community, the tendency
would be more to stay at home
and less to run away on the part
Of the young.
Truly, there are acres of dia-
onds everywhere, but they are
found only by digging.

The One-Man Woman
BY RUTH AGNES A BELING ASevice

Kate was out of the car and open

of the shop and Smiled at her.
Dorothy was visible at the back of

soiled and neglected.
"Is Alice here?" Kate asked.

All souls are mine; as The soul
Of the father, so also the soul of
tire son is mine.-Ezekiel 1874.
Let us make ourselves watchers
and guardians Of the order of the
world Let US pledge ourselves to
service. Let us set ourselves with
all our minds and all our hearts to
the perfecting and working out Of
the methods Of democracy, and the
ending forever of the kings and
emperors and the bands of advan-
turcrs, the traders and forestallels
who have betrayed mankind into
this morass of hate and blood, in
which we still tlounder.-H. G.

YE AMEGICU9 MERCHANTS.
LISTEN, THIS is RICH.

You Americas merchants who
have large store space and are
laying awake at night devising
ways and means to reduce YOUR
stock, will be interested in the
story of the smallest store in lbe
world. This is Milton Lubin's
JeWelry shop just off Times
Square, New York City. But. it
IS now closed for alterations be-
cause the proprietor has gained
five pounds in weight which makes
1t virtually impossible for him TO
turn around without exhaling his
breath.
On the inside it is triangle with
frontage of five feet, and three
and a half feet deep.
Mllt says the only place he can
hang his coat is on the ceiling.
Il have to be in constant train
ing to be slim enough to work
here" says Milt. 1T is very un-
comfortable after a full email. I
take constant exercise and diet
carefully"
Lately, however, MiIt's weight
has scared nearly to 100 pound.
Carpenters had to be called in
with thinner boards. e'-.
1t amaZe8 you to learn that the
worlds smallest store does a bust
ness of $250,OOO a year-in
watches, diamonds and othar prec-
ious stones.
Mllt has an assistant. But they
have to work in relays, for if The
two Of them are on the Job at
the same time there is no room
for a customer
Only one customer can get into
the store at a time. Fat men
have tried to enter, then decided
to do business from the sidewalk.
The rent for this little cubbv-
hole is $4,000 year! 1t is said
to be the highest rent in the world,
IN proportion to space occupied.
Also, it is a monumental illus
tratjon Of the price men pay for
sWarming together in cities.
Maybe Milton Lubin is making
lot of money out of his store.
We don't know. But we do know
. that, to any one loving the natural
life of the great outdoors, it
would take good many million
to compensate for the physical
dlscomforts Of working in such a
small cage.
Still, with city congestion stead
lly becoming worse it is entirely
plausible that this smallest store
IN the world is prophetic sample
'ot what metropolitan life will he

HINDENBURG AS HERO

Mir. Garland w. Powell, national director of the American commission of the Ameri- can Legion sees in Won Hindenburg's appear ance at this time upon the shifting. German stage more than the reappearance of a pop ular stock figure for mere purposes of propaganda. The propaganda purposes are present, but Mr. Powell thinks they are on Germany's part for the very definite pur- pose of war, and that Hindenburg is to be the idol set up in this emprise. "He has been selected by the German monarchist party" says MT. Powell "to rattle the sa- Der in the kaiser style and bring about coup d'etat to restore the old regime" That Hindenburg is still the hero of Germany there is no doubt. He was the outstanding figure in 1914 and during the war, and is the only one of high rank left whose reputation aud hold upon the German imagination have not been touched by adverse criticism at home. His position is perhaps stronger than ever before because of the falling of so many idols around him. He remains aloos and exalted, somewhat to the German fancy, no doubt, rival of Mars himself.
 MT. Powell emphasizes a striking pnase of the German situation. The American people do not realize, he said that Ger
