as arbitrator. The claim involves about
one million dollors, and is based upon
concessions made to a syndicate of
Americans by Bolivia. The territory
In question has since become a part

to keep Its promise to recognize the
rights of the Americans. Instmid of
resorting to The Hague tribunal, the
two countries agreed to ask a dis­

preferred arbitration to war, and no
doubt justice will be done by King Ed­

A "mental attitude” Is a good thing
If it has the proper foundation. Your
mind may be made up on many mat­
ters and you may be very proud of
what you call flrmness—your decisive­
ness. But whether or not your pride
Is justified depends upon how your
mind was made up. If your opinions
— your attitudes—on various ques­
tions, methods and Institutions, are the
result of logical thought upon those
subjects, then you can really be proud
of having "made up your mind.” This
requires concentration of the mind,
and the ability to think properly—to
reason from cause to effect— Is the
most creditable faculty you can pos­
sess. But If you have allowed little
whims and circumstances, little preju­
dices and Irritations to run together
In your mind like various liquids pour­
ed into one vessel and thus make up
your mind for you—then you have no
cause to be proud. Your decisiveness
Is reduced to obstinacy and Instead of
having the power of logic you are In
the power of the petty things about
you. As many persons do not take the
trouble to And good reasons for their
own arts and state of -mind, it is not
surprising that many have erroneous
"mental attitudes.” If you have been
allowing your mind to be made up for
you on this subject by Irresponsible In­
fluences. concentrate your thoughts and
assert your power to make up your
mind logically to your own advantage.

not yield so much as it once did. Be­
hold. when great-grandmother's gowns
come to light, they are all too small
I for the youug generation. It is not a
i mere matter of stays and busks, for if
! it were, a tightened corset lacing
might lie endured for a single evening.
But the girl of to-day is hopelessly
j taller than her forebear, and there is
I no remedy for the skirt, waist and
sleeves too short. The Increase in the
height of American women has doubt­
less gone on steadily for fifty years,
but measurements have altered mark­
edly in the last decade. A skirt of
forty-one Inches was considered long
in 1895. Now skirts of forty-four and
forty-five inches are made by whole­
sale. Grandmother stood barely five
feet In her shoes, but her daughter
measures five feet four inches, and
her athletic graddaughter measures
from five feet seven to five feet eleven
in her stockings.
The increase in
height is not an unmixed good. To
begin with, long clothes coat more
than short ones. Six inches added to
length of skirt and bodice make an
actual Increase in the cost of material.
Moreover, tall girls, especially if they
are slender, are not so easily fitted in
the cheaper ready-made garments. The
large sizes seem calculated for stout
women. Strangely enough, the aver­
age stature of the men of the coming
generation has not Increased so fast
as that of the women, and there are
many men not so tall as the girls of
their own age. Such a man fears to
dance or walk or even to talk with a
woman to whom he must look up
physically, whatever he may prefer in

short of tragic when a long line of
tali girls files past a group of short

blank gaze and the secret reflection,

So serious has become the question
of the spread in this country of the
bubonic plague from the cases that
have been discovered on the Pacific
Coast that plans are now being made
for a conference on the subject be­
tween the biologists of the Depart­
ment of Agriculture and the experts
of the public health and marine hos­
pital service, with a view of devising
means for stamping it out at once, the
Washington correspondent of the New
York HeraM says. While none of the
officials of either branch of the gov­
ernment will consent to be quoted on
the subject, they do not hesitate to
admit that they are much disturbed
by recent developments in California.
That the ground squirrel is an im­
portant if not the principal factor in
the dissemination of the disease on
the Pacific Coast is admitted by the
officials of the public health and ma­
rine hospital service. | They carry it,
according to the generally accepted
theory, in the fleas which live upon
them as parasites.
These squirrels are being killed off
In California, but the work will be
carried on to a greater extent than at
present because of the fear that has
gripped the government that some­
thing really serious may result from
the present conditions. It Is proposed
to take no chances whatsoever and
leave no loophole through which the
disease may work eastward.
In California nine persons have been
attacked with the plague as a result,
it is believed, of having been bitten
by the fleas which infest the ground
squirrel. Several of these persons, ac­
cording to the data In possession of the
Department of Agriculture, have died.
The officials declare that It is the
same plague that each year wipes out
thousands of people in India. It is
believed that the disease was carried
to California by rats on board mer­
chant vessels and that the rats have
handed over the deadly germs to the
squirrels. The squirrels infested with
the disease have spread over 600 miles
about San Francisco and Oakland and
doubtless go farther.
In the last year the public health
and marine hospital service has not
been negligent In Its effort to stamp
out the plague in this country. In a
report by Dr. Walter Wyman, surgeon-
general of the public health and ma­
rine hospital service, Just made pub­
lic, it is recorded that during the
week which ended December 4, 1909,
1,908 rats were trapped and killed in
San Francisco and 597 were done away
with in a similar manner in Oakland.
In San Francthco as many as 398 rats
have been found Infected with the
deadly germs, according to Dr. Wy­
man's report.

Water bugs and worms are among
the tidbits in which the Mexican peon
delights. He catches his bugs as they
skim along the top of fresh water
ponds, drying them and then eating
them with as much zest as an Ameri­

peon can explain it, their flavor 13

1VE diseases are respopsible for 400,000
deaths lu the United Slates every year.
They are diphtheria, bronchitis, tubercu­
losis, pneumonia and grippe, and each and
every one of them may be acquired—and
often Is— by the use of the common drink­
ing cup. This striking array of figures ap­
pears in a paper by Prof. Alvin Davidson of Lafayette
College, which Is given additional weight by being pub­
lished In the current bulletin of the Massachusetts
State Board of Health. It constitutes an unanswer­
able argument against the use of public drinking cups
anywhere, but more especially in and about the public
schools.
An epidemic of diphtheria in Rochester, N. Y., du’ -
lng which twenty-four people were ill, was traced un­
mistakably to a drinking cup which all the sick had
used. Tonsilitis and sore throat are invariably more
common in schools where common drinking cups ars
used than where the Individual cup Is required or the
