Harry Thaw's mother is doubtless
a good mother in the usual acceptance
of that term. That is, she is loyal
io her wayward son and her mother
love never seems to waver. But she
is inconsistant it was only a little
lime ago that her efforts to get Harry
out of the insane asylum were sue- !
cessful and now she offers to put him
buck in again.
Even if the president is confined to
his bed he is going straihgt ahead
with his policy of arming merchant
men. He will surely be up and around
before any of them sink a German
submarine Such an occurrence may
not take place until way along in April
and probably the president had some
such idea as this in hls» innid when
be set the date for the extraordinary
session of congress on April 16.

This is introductory to the remark
that corn meal as put on the market
today is poor truck compared with the
product of years ago when the village
grist mill ground up the corn. Then
In-own bread, corn bread, Indian pud
ding, Johnny calces and their kindred
were fit to eat. Nowadays the corn
is ground too tine and some of the
oest parts of it are eliminated and
fed to the chickens or cows. Breads
and puddings made of it are compacted
into tight, fine-grained, dry, tasteless
and disheartening masses. Ali the
goneness and most o;' the fla- o- have
been ground away.
The railway men are again ir'I.ing
of going out on siiike and the thance
of war is looming up bigger every
vi’iy. A great railroad slr'ko and war
wont go well together and for their
own good the men would d- veil not
tc strike in case the war seems quite
certain. The war would he so much
more important than the rights of the
men that they would be brushed light

ly aside. Moreover, the railroads
would be taken over by- the govern
ment in case of war if the need arose
and public sentiment would not help
the men as it undoubtedly would la
time of peace.
They had what they called "pay-up
week" in Winfield Iowa, some months
ago and an enterprising merchant un
dertook to find out just what results
actually followed his payment of a five
dollar account.
Monday morning he paid a debt
with a $5 bill. Attached to that bill
was a memorandum asking every
other person who used it in wiping
out an obligation to make a note of
the transaction At the end of the
week it was found that 58 persons had
received the bill in payment of a debt.
One five dollar note had discharged
in six days JS90 of indebtedness. And
in the course of its adventures that
note had twice returned to the man
who started it on its journey. His
act of launching it on its debt paying
career had enabled two of his own
debtors to pay him what they owed
two times.
That’s tho way it always works.
Most people are solvent Other peo
ple owe them as much as they owe.
But they can't get what is coming to
them so they cannot pay what they owe.
Thus debts run on indefinitely all
through the community. And because
money circulates -slow ly, everybody is
kept worried about his finances and
business lags.
That is because, when people have
money in their pockets, they hang
on to it. Pay your debts and the
rao»< y comes back to you. When a
community once gets that idea the
whole process is speeded up and
everybody is happier and more pros
perous.
HEALTH IN THE TRENCHES.

Notwithstanding all that has been
said about the equalor and discom
fort of life in the trenches at the
battle front, the remarkable fact ap
pears, according to all medical testi
money, that the health conditions of
the men averages far better thau is
the case with those at home and even
better than among mm of the same
class and the same physical equip
ment in the days of peace.
A French army surgeon has recently
written about experiences at the front
during the entire year of 1915, with
the troops under his immediata ob

loss than two-fifths the peace aver
age. In 1915 there were 863 cases of
contagious disease, as compared with
2,157 coses in a - n iiar force before
the war.
In spite of the extreme contagious
, ness of measles and scarlet fever, he
writes, they dill not spread among
troops bivouacked or camping in the
war zone in makeshift ehetlers, where

In other words, the sound health of

to a considerable extent immune from
diseases to which they were exposed,

TOO BAD
Ralph was going into the third grade
having successfully passed the holi
j day examinations, and hits parting
with his beloved teacher was tearful.
"Oh Miss Ruby!" he wailed. "I wish
you knew enough to teach the third
grade, so you could come along and
teach me next year."
A VERY GOOD REASON
During the lesson one afternoon a
violent thunderstorm arose, and, to
lessen the freight of the children, the
teacher began telling of the wonders
of the elements.
"And now Jimmy,” she asked, "why
is it that the lightning never strikes
twice in the same place?”
"Because," said Jimmy confidently,
"after it hits once, the same place ain’t
there any more."
