CANNOT FEED POPULATION
Why the Standard Of Life In Over
crowded India 10 Of Relatively
Low Order.

Compared with the United States,
India has a smaller area and a much
larger population. writes Harold Cox
In Asia Magazine. The area of India,
including the semi-independent Indian
states, Is less than two-thirds Of the
area Of the United States; but the
population is three times as large.
It may reasonably be inferred that
India is already overfull Of human be-
ings. Yet social customs and religious
creeds still islpose upon Indian par
ents the duty Of begetting children, re-
gardless of the means available for
their maintenance, with the result that
children are poured into the world
even more rapidly than In Europe and
In the United States. Roughly, one In
four of the infants thus brought into
being dies before II has ceased to be
an infant. Others die In early youth
or early manhood. The average du-
ration of life in India Is far below the
average Of western Europe and Amer
lea.
Beyond this Is the final fact that
the whole standard of life Is lowered,
because the resources of the country
do not suffice for the adequate main
tenance of the millions who are striv-
ing to live.

Idle Word Is Something to Be
Guarded Against

The Idle word that stings Is as old
as human speech. Spoken thought
lessly or spoken in u moment OF irri-
tation, 1t says mere than the speaker
meant. At least 1t says more than he
would have said If he had taken sec
ond thought. Too often In a hasty
moment one who really would not for
worlds cause lasting hurt does just
that because he reaches for the first
remark that will register.
These Idle words 90 deep. deep into
the heart and memory of the one to
whom they are addressed. II he tends
to brood, he reflects: But he could
not have said that, even In hasty
moment, II 1t had not been the real
thought of his heart. That Is the way
he thinks of me-" Sometimes such
a thoughtless saying embitters part
of a whole life. alters friendship that
has been held very dear. continues to
exact its cost years after the speaker
has forgotten 1t. SIS
There Is no way Of reaching this
harm by laws and courts. There is
no way of resolving that one will
never say the thing that causes need
less hurt, except by resolving to build
up a habit in ones life of saying only
kindly things until quiet reflection
has shown the need of something else.
This Is not text for weaklings. a
counsel of meekness to the point of
being trodden upon. 1t Vas not a
weak man who prayed: "Set o watch
before the door of my lips" nor a
fool who wrote: "She openeth her
mouth with wisdom, and in her tongue
Is the law of kindness.

How Cold May Be Stopped.

A writer to the New York World.
who signs himself TX. X. j." presents
the following discovery Of method of
nipping an oncoming cold In the bud !:
AT the first sneeze drink half a
teaspoon of bicarbonate Of soda In half
a glass of water, and repeat the dose
In half an hour. This treatment has
stopped dozen threatened colds In a
year.
II don't know why this simple treat
ment is so efficient, but the chronic
cold catcher will notice his sneezing
usually starts short time after din
ner or some other hearty meal. Per
haps the white corpuscles have left
the throat and nose to guard the stom-
ach. The soda, reducing acidity, lets
them 60 back to their job in the head.
"The doctors may snort at the rem
edy, but II works."

Why the Ocean 10 Salt.

The sea is salt because salt 10 a
mineral which prevails largely In the
earth, and which. being soluble In
water. is taken up by the ocean. All
lakes and rivers hold some degree of
saline matter, which they contribute to
the ocean. When the sun evaporates
the water In the sea, the salt Is left
behind. This vapor forms clouds and
falls again as rain. The rain washes
the earth, and carries more saline min.
erals to the ocean. In this way the
ocean has become far more salty than
lakes and rivers.
