FUEL CASH ON DELIVERY
We are required to pay
for coal and the freight
on it before unloading.
The government regu
lates the selling price, and
it is therefore forcing us
to ask CASH FOR ALL
SALES OF FUEL.
Clear Thinking and
the
Nothing is more of a help to clear
thinking than careful speech. Very of
ten we discover a flaw In our logic
when we attempt to put it Into words,
observes the Irish World. But some
times we really have ideas, though
we experience difficulty in expressing
them.
People of sympathetic natures are
frequently dumb In the presence of sor
row. Some who are very Intelligent
are so silent and diffident that nobody
ever gets the beneflt of their bright
ideas.
A recent poet has intimated that for
the deep things of life language is al
together inadequate; but, however that
may be, it is the principal means at
present by which human beings get
close together.
We learn to talk, as we say. In the
first few years of life, and some of
us get very little beyond that start In
babyhood. We can ask for what we
want to eat and drink, but we are un
able to expresa sympathy tactfully and
gracefully.
We have a great many Ideas that we
never try to put Into words, because
we feel that we do not know the right
words. We have not really learned to
talk while we remain silent regarding
the things which mean most to us.
NEGLECTED CHILDREN
Would Bo Less Crime.
A St. Louis judge recently made the
statement In an address delivered be
fore a local bar association that “if
one-fourth as much as is spent for
keeping up our courts, jails, poorhouses
and paupers was applied to help neg
lected city children make a proper start
tn life the high tide of crime surely
would decrease.”
This is a remarkable statement to
make; but, coming from the source it
does, it Is worthy of consideration of
all philanthropic men and women. Had
the speaker made his statement more
general and applicable to the country
as well as to the cities It would all the
same be worthy of credence.
The life of every one depends largely
upon the start made. There are those
who are started right and then depart
from the straight but narrow path, but
they are the exception and not the
rule. Thousands of little unfortunates
may be said to be born criminals, the
offspring of criminal parentage.
If
not so born they are so bred. But it
is true, as said by this St Louis judge,
that if a benevolent and righteous pub
lic would deal with the problem as It
might there would be less crime and
fewer criminals. — Knoxville Journal
and Tribune.

Our Publio Health Service.
In the fields of preventive medicine than it takes to tell about.
•nd in all matters in which the public
health is concerned the public health
service does work which is not only un
surpassed but unequaled tn any coun
try of the world. This Is recognized
and fully appreciated in Europe, and
recently tn one of the chief medical
journals of Europe high praise was
given to the service for the extremely
valuable information with regard to
disease and preventive medicine which
was disseminated by the agency of Ita
bulletins and other publications. In
fact, the United States public health
service Is unique and is an institution
of which this country has every reason
to be proud. It remains as an ever
ready foundation upon which to erect
the department of public health when
ever congress shall aee fit to establish
it— Medical Record.
