WHAT FICTION MUST DO

Mrs. Edith Wharton reveals per-
haps the secret Of the popular sue
cess which she has been achieving
in recent years in stating her idea
Of the range of subjects for fiction
in 1.-THE Writing of Fiction" in the
Christmas rcmbor Of Scribner's
Magazine.
"A good subject she says,
must contain in itself something
that sheds a light on our moral
experience If it is incapable OF
this expansion this vital radiation,
it remains, howeyer SNOWY sur.
face it presents, a mere irreve-
liant happening, a meaningless
scrap of fact torn out of it's con-
text. Nor is it more than a half
truth to say that the imagination
which probes deep enough can find
his germ in any happening, now
ever insignificant. The converse
ia true enough: the limited mag
ination reduces great theme to
it's own measure. But the wide
creative vision, though no fragment
of human experience can appear
wholly empty to it, yet seeks by
instinct those subjects in which
some phase OF our common plight
stands forth dramatically and typ
ically, subjects which, in themsel-
yes, are kind Of summary or fore
shortening Of life's dispersed and
inconolueive occurrences.

FOR REIMBURSEMENT

From July ! to October 81 the
treasury lost over $sO,0OO,0OO in
revenue under the new tax law.
That means that in four months
the people were saved that sum to
reinvest in business or to give
themselves more comfort and
pleasure. If the same rate con-
tinues to the end of the fiscal
year there will be a total saving
of $240,0O0,OOO. Still further econ
omies in government are planned
by the Republican administration,
making possible still further tax
cuts in the futu:.. Probably an
other year will not have passed
before plans fer the next tax re
duction measure have matured
and are well on the way to reali-
zation.

WHY NOT RECOGNIZE SOME.
THING ELSE IN WISCONSIN
BESIDES POLITICS.

Daniel Webster in his reply to
Hayne of South Carolina when the
integrity of Massachusetts had been
attacked, replied Massachusetts!
There she stands; she needs no

leave his adopted state there"
He went on to tell about it and
that's what should be done for
Wisconsin.
It's an old story, that one "a
bout the travellers in the Pull

state OF his birth, when the little,
jaundiccd man, called upon to
testify concerning himself, replied
with a challenge, u was born in

one gets wearied with the quest

outsider, especially if he is from

judges Wisconsin only by the
election returns.
No true Wisconsin man will
ever make an apology for his
state. He may make personal
explanation but never, never, a.

MILK BY TRUCK-TANK

The National Dairy Exposition
held recently at Milwaukee, Wis
consin, was the final scene of what
is regarded as an unusual trans
portation feat. A truckta of
milk was started from Pittsburgh
on Saturday, and driven by its
own power to Milwaukee. The
tank was sealed at Pittsburgh by
the health authorities and opened
at Milwaukee by the Commission
er of Health of that city. The time
CT the run was approximately six
ty hours, arriving on Tuesday.
Inspection revealed that it was
in perfect condition, having risen
only-5 degrees in temperature en-
route, or from SO degrees F. to
II degrees. Says a letter written
rom the office Of the National
Dairy Association, Chicago:
"The truck-tank was driven
through to the Milwaukee State
Fair grounds on arrival the milk
was dispensed free to the public
Owing to the large quantity, 1880
gallons, it took more than one day
to dispense this and Thursday,
when the writer observed the milk,
which was at that time six days
cid, it was still in perfect condi-
ton. This has a remarkable
significance, since it shows that
were it necessary, milk could be
transported from the Pacific coast
to New York City in glass lined
tank cars.
TN fact, in sixty hours, the
running time of the truck, a rail
road tank-car could have travelled
nearly 5000 miles which would
have made it easily possible to
bring milk from the Pacific
coast into Chicago and points
east.
This incident demonstrates the
ability to reach out farther into
the West for the milk supply.
This grows daily more inevitable
since the producing facilities Of
the East are entirely inadequate
to the demand. The West must
supply the East, and here is the
means to make this supply avail
able"

GIRTH CONTROL,

| Centenarians often have attribu-
ted their long lives to some fay,
orite habit or pastime with the
result that rules for longevity laid
down by these experts at living
range all the way from getting up
at 4 O'Clock in the morning to lib
eral consumption of chewing to-
bacco and corn whisky.
A few young men today have
taken this advice seriously, early
rising excepted but the majority
are watching old age come on pre-
maturely, and are in despair at
the rapid rate with which their
chest expansion is slipping into
their wristbands.
The medical world is now stress
ing the fact that good health and
long life are the results of good
habits of personal hygiene, and
that the secret lies in adequate
sleep, plain food in moderate
quantity, proper exercise, fresh
air, self control and the avoidance
Of all excuses. Rules for alealth
are easier to read, than to live,
are cast aside by the average
business man as impossibiIities.
He is partly right. The American
business men has set for himself
a killing pace. He has not time to
rest after meals, and he gets the
habit of eating too fast. and eth
er too much or the wrong kind of
food. He has not time for week
end iaunts away from business
cares. So accustomed is he to
foregoing these many essentials
to right living. that he gives UP
the others which he might OBJ
serve. Most men have The intelli-
genee to make proper choices OF

WHAT MEN HAVE LEARNED

It's amazing, the vast number
OF things that have been learned
by the worlds people through the
centuries. The sum total of hui
man knowledge is so gigantic that
the brightest brains would have
to live thousands upon thousands
of years to master it all.
For instance, the carpenter has
knowledge that is entirely I'M
known to the chemist. Every diff
ferent line Of work requires a
great amount of knowledge that
is unknown to outsiders.
1t takes a man an entire life
time to begin TO learn about
farming, chemistry, medicine,
craftsmanship or any of all the
other long line of human activities.
We have barely scratched the
surface Of knowledge. And yet
a man \could live thousands of
lifetimes, in each one following a
different line of work, and at
the end he'd only have acquired a
fraction CT the knowledge that
has been found out by the hi nan
race at large. Addressing com
panies sell mailing lists covering
over 5000 different forms of bus
mess activity.
You know what is meant by
'.the lost arts" Much knowledge
perishes as oncoming generations
turn their attention to different
pursuits It's like the practice
of medicine. When veteran ply
sician dies, a large part OF what
he has learned by experience dies
with him. He hasn't time to make
a complete record.
The old idea of education was
TO pour facts into the brain, the
same as filing jug with a fun
mel. But we have progressed
and specialized so much that edu-
cation is, by compulsion, being
put on different basis. To sue
coed, a man must specialize on
some one thing. IN that field
he needs all the facts he can soak
up.

minutes for calesthenics. If nothing
else. Most men to some extent can

GOODBYE, JUDGE

Judge Leahy OF New Mexico has
been defeated at the polls.
STAND up, Carl c. Magee, you
horae-thief, you skunk, you low
down this and that" Such vicious
language as Judge Leahy used in
sentencing to jail for contempt the
editor of the New Mexico State
Tribune has not often been heard
on either side of the judicial bar
in this country. 1t had as it's OBJ
ject the intimidation Of a newspa :
per man who had dared to act on
conscience and tell his readers
what he though they should know
about their public servants. Judge
Leahy proposed to shut this edi-
tor up.
The people decided the issue be-
tween the tyrant judge and the
independent editor at the recent
election. The district is normally
Republican by about 5000 and
Leahy thought he had nothing to
fear. But he was licked, with
about $40 votes to spare. Magee
6ampaigned against him. He took
to the stump, like a man who
means business, and in a tour Of
the state told the voters what he
knew of political corruption and a
judge that did not hesitate to clap
into jail any free spirit that
threatened the corruptionists. Ma
gee might have stayed at the Off
ce, hammering out editorials and
being conventional. Perhaps he
had been slapped once too often.
He did what any editor who is not
a mere sap-head would do he
cleaned the tyrant up.
Our information from the front
