A Story For Pacifists.
Colonel Roosevelt told at a recep­
tion in Chicago a story for the profes-
sional pacifist.
"The pacifist, with his unworkable
ideas,” he said, "reminds me of Victor
Hugo.
"During the Franco-Prussian war of
1879 Victor Hugo, then at the height
of his glory, was so horrified by the
cruelties of the siege of Paris that he
demanded, in a burst of splendid gen­
erosity:
“ Tf I go out in front of the armies—
if I go out alone and unarmed—I,
Hugo—and if I let them kill me—then
don’t you think that this will end the
war?’
“ ‘For you, yes, certainly,' was the
cold and sagacious answer given to
Hugo.”—Washington Star.

cussed:

Uncle Sam’s Statistics Show Most Fa­
talities Among Women Due to
Organic Diseases of Heart
Based upon 94,269 deaths of male
and 102,467 deaths of female Industrial
policyholders, fifteen years of age and
over, as recorded in 1911,1912 and 1913
by one life Insurance company, tuber­
culosis caused the death of 20.5 per
cent of the former and 14.4 per cent
of the latter, while organic diseases of
the heart were responsible for 12 per
cent of the deaths of males and 14.8
per cent of the deaths of females. The
average age of men dying from tuber­
culosis was 37.1 years and of women,
34.1 years. Of males the lowest aver­
age age at death, 31.1 years, was among
those who died from typhoid fever, and
of females the lowest average age at
death, 29 years, was among those who
died at childbirth. By occupation, the
lowest average age at death was 36.5
years among bookkeepers and office as­
sistants and the highest average age
was 58.5 years among farmers and
farm laborers.
These facts are brought out in a
bulletin entitled “Cause of Death, by
Occupation,” a study made by Louis
I. Dublin, and recently issued by Uncle
Sam’s bureau of labor statistics.
Tuberculosis was responsible for the
largest number of deaths among clerks,
bookkeepers and office assistants, 35
per cent; compositors and printers,
34.1 per cent ; gas fitters and steam fit­
ters, 31.6 per cent; longshoremen and
stevedores, 29.2 per cent: teamsters,
drivers and chauffeurs, 28.2 per cent;
saloonkeepers and bartenders, 26 per
cent; machinists, 25 per cent; cigar
makers and tobacco workers, 24.1 per
cent ; textile mill workers, 22 per cent ;
iron molders, 21.9 per cent; painters,
paperhangers and varnishers, 21.9 per
cent ; masons and bricklayers, 19 per
cent; bakers, 18.8 per cent; laborers,
16.4 per cent ; blacksmiths, 14 per cent.
Accidental violence was responsible for
the largest number of deaths among
railway enginemen and trainmen, 42.3
per cent ; railway track and yard work­
ers, 20.8 per cent; and coal miners,
20.4 per cent; while the largest num­
ber of farmers and farm laborers, 16.4
per cent died from organic diseases of
the heart, due to the facts that the
prevalence of these diseases Increases
with age and that the average age at
death of those in this group is higher
than any other group.
Similarly, among women the largest
number of housewives and housekeep­
ers, 15.2 per cent, died from organic
diseases of the heart for the same rea­
son stated above, while tuberculosis
took the largest proportion of clerks,
bookkeepers and office assistants, 42.4
per cent; clerks and saleswomen, 38.7
per cent ; textile mill workers, 35.5 per
cent ; dressmakers and garment work­
ers, 27.8 per cent; and domestic serv­
ants, 15.9 per cent The average age at
death was 26.1 years among clerks,
bookkeepers and office assistants, and
53.3 years among housewives and
housekeepers.
The statistics indicate that respira­
tory diseases are prominent where the
Industrial worker is exposed to colds,
drafts and dampness, as among masons
and bricklayers, or to violent changes
of temperature, as among teamsters,
drivers and chauffeurs. Organic dis­
eases of the heart have a high propor­
tional frequency in cases where the
work is heavy and the cardiac powers
are overtaxed as among Iron molders.

SYSTEMATIC PLANS NEEDED
Drink Hot Water
Six Hundred Million Dollars’ Worth of
Eatables Could Be Added to Na­
tion’s Supply In Year, It la
Declared.
The statement that has been made
by those in a position to know that
the poultry products of the United
States could be doubled within a year
means that if everybody in a position
to help did their part six hundred
million dollars’ worth of food would
be added to our supply this year, say
Uncle Sam’s experts In the department
of agriculture.
This includes both meat for the ta­
ble and eggs. Very few farmers prac­
tice a systematic plan of disposing of
their fowls after they have ceased to
be productive, these experts say, al­
though it is well known that fowls
of the heavier breeds, such as the
Plymouth Rocks, cease to produce a
profitable number of eggs at the end
of their second laying year, and that
this holds true of the lighter breeds,
Such as the Leghorns, at the end of
their third laying year. Consequent­
ly, if efforts were made to dispose of
all females when their best laying
days were over a large quantity of
poultry meat would be placed on the
market. All poorly developed chickens
should likewise be culled out and used
as meat. This way of disposing of un­
profitable fowls would allow the farm­
er to feed his grain to younger and
more productive fowls.
Fattening Chickens for Market
Caponizing the cockerels that are
not intended for breeding purposes
will not only increase their size but
will place a more desirable poultry
meat on the market. Another practice
that should be adopted more widely, it
is declared, is that of fattening all
chickens that are to be marketed be­
fore they leave the farm. This can be
done easily by confining the birds for a
week or ten days and feeding them a
good fattening ration. They will come
to market then in better condition and
the farmer will receive a profit for
their added weight.
The greater production of turkeys,
ducks, geese and guineas, all of which
can be profitably raised and a ready
market found in most sections, would
Increase the supply of poultry meat
considerably. The production of ducks
especially should be emphasized at
this time it is urged, because of the
rapidity with which they grow. Ducks
of most of the meat breeds, properly
fed and managed, frequently weigh
from five to six pounds at ten weeks
of age. It is estimated by poultry-
men making a specialty of growing
ducks that the feed cost per pound of
producing duck meat ranges from
eight to twelve cents.
Increasing Supply of Eggs.
The number of marketable eggs can
be Increased by following a few prac­
tical suggestions. Among the most im­
portant of these are the production
of the infertile egg after the breeding
season Is over, and the proper handling
of eggs by the farmer before sending
them to market The Infertile egg is
obtained when all male birds are re­
moved from the flock. This does not
decrease the number of eggs produced,
but It does Increase greatly their keep­
ing qualities. The production of the
Infertile egg and the proper handling
and marketing of eggs by the producer
would Increase tremendously the num­

Why is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous, despondent,
worried; some days headachy, dull and
unstrung; some days really incapaci­
tated by illness.
If we all would practice Inside-bath­
ing, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands of
half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with
pasty, muddy complexions we should
see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy-
cheeked people everywhere. The rea­
son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day of all the waste
which it accumulates under our pres­
ent mode of living. For every ounce
of food and drink taken into the sys­
tem nearly an ounce of waste material
must be carried out, else it ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poisons which
are absorbed into the blood.
Just as necessary as it is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
before the fire will burn bright and
hot, so we must each morning clear
the inside organs of the previous day's
accumulation of indigestible waste and
body toxins. Men and women, whether
sick or well, are advised to drink each
morning, before breakfast, a glass of
real hot water with a teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate In it, as a harm­
less means of washing out the stom­
ach, liver, kidneys and bowels the in­

and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening
and purifying the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.

turn at constipation, bilious attacks,

lustre to the hair when faded, streak­

to get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and trouble­

drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul­

bottle of thia famous old recipe, im­
proved by the addition of other in­

Don’t stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap­
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
