As a supplement to the Sherman anti-trust law and as an aid to the courts in the carrying out of its pro- visions the recommendation of Pres- ident Wilson in behalf of an interstate trade commission is bound to receive much consideration. It is a fact that must be thoroughly realized if it is ziven thought, that the courts have sufficient business in the interpretation of law and the giving of advice with- out being depended upon for the car- rving out of the details, A commission which would take up such work would be a manifest relief since such a body appointed to administer the duties wisely, justly and non-politically guid- ed by the decisions of the supreme court would act as the same beneficial regulator to big business as the in- terstate commerce commission does in its Telation to the railroads. As the New York Times says: “The creation of an interstate trade commission em- powered to give advice, definite guid- ance and information, would be a wholesome act. Such a commission could take cognizance not only of the law, but of the economic aspects of iness processes and arrangements which lie beyond the field of the court’s jurisdiction,” The idea of such a commission is in accordince with the opinion of for- mer Attorney General Wickersham who sees a field of usefulness and benefit for such a body, both for the relief of the courts, and for the help of business. It is certainly a part of the programme which deserves fits share of attention, UNWHOLESOME FOOD, One of the best indications of the need of proper supervision of great storehouses and cold storage ware- houses where quantities of food sup- plies are kept is revealed by the arrest and conviction of big New York con- cerns which were found with quantities of eggs unfit for human consumptior. The fine of $500 which was rmposed may mnot offer an insurmountable ob- stacle to such practice, but the unde- sirable advertising which it carries with it must necessarily have a salu- tary effect. What might have become of such articles of food is impossible to tell, but it is certain that condi- tions were discovered which should not be tolerated, and whatever can be done to overcome them is justifiable and necessary. It is mot to be sup- posed that such eggs were being kept for anything but one purpose, which is the same that applies to all stored goods. Not only is it to be inferred that they were intended for the mar- Xet, but that they were likewise being held for the benefit of high prices, It ought not to be necessary to give such warnings to dealers in food pro- ducts that only good and wholesome food should be handled, but apparent- 1y there are instances where it is. It is certainly of great importance to the consumer that the alertness of the au- thorities has been manifested, and it should carry its lesson to each and every other dealer that mot only is food fit for consumption demanded, but that it will be insisted upon. It is a sad commentary upon business meth- ods when it has to be enforced through the process of the law. SELECTING U. S. SENATORS. When the seventeenth amendment was made to the constitution of the TUnited States requiring the election of the United States senators by the peo- ple, it called for the mnecessary action by each state to make such provision effsctive and oyercome any conflict which might exist with any state reg- ulations. Most of the states wherein the legislatures met took care of any such possible chances of confuston, but there were those which either did not meet in time or did not provide for the filling of vacancles in case of death. The result was that the con- stitutional requirement and the state laws were in conflict, and it was the adjustmen: of this situation which fell to the lot of the senate committes on privileges and elections over the sen- atorial elections in Maryland and Ala- bama, In the former state the governor carried out the requirements of the constitution and a new senator was elected by the people. Tn Alabama the governor insisted upon the right of appointment because the legislature had failed to provide for the contin- gency. When the senate committee declared the.action of the former right and that of the latter wrong, and in- BAE Heies sisted upon a special election, it was actuated by a bellef in the superierity of the federal law Its approval by the ‘senate will mean the establishment of this as a guide for any such contin- gencles in the future. , It is the elec- tion by the people which was demand- ed and it is to the credit of the com- mittee that it has decided as it has. It untied a tangle in a sensible man- ner., THE NEW EXPRESS RATES. By the new rates for the express companies which have been fixed by the interstate commerce commission to go into effect upon the first of Feb- ruary, some important changes are made. A noticeable drop has been made in the existing rates and be- cause of the competition with the par- cel post the rates of these two ser- vices are brought into closer rela- tion. That there should be a reduction in the rates has been felt for a long time, but it has been hastened by the manner in which the parcel post has appealed to the public in rendering similar service at a lower cost. There still exists a difference in rates be- tween the two great methods of car- rying packages with the advantages in favor of one where the small bundles and short distance is concerned while With the larger packages and the long- er distance there are benefits attached to the other, with which of course the fact that such are called for as well as delivered and carry a limited in- surance, has to be taken into consid-} eration. By the reduction in rates the ex- press companies are placed in a pos! tion to make a logical appeal for bus iness. It was a course which was necessary if that service was long to continue attractive in face of the ex- tenslons and advautages which have been steadily offered by parcel post. It offers the one basis for expansion and the opportunity for serving the public for a reasonable return. Huge dividends may not be possible, but it certainly opens the avenue for bus- iness which will yield a legitimate profit. FRESH AIR. Fresh air is one of the requisites for good health and it is important during all seasons of the vear. It is from the lack cf it during cold weather that many cases of sickness, loss of vitality and a susceptibility to cold results. For the purpose of trying to keep down the large death rate from pneumonia, which however does not result entirely from lack of ventilation, the health board of Philadelphia in recognition of the value of fresh alr as a guard against ill health has made these suggestions: Don’t poison yourself with dirty air by staying in poorly-ventilated, over- heated, crowded, foul-smelling places. Fresh air does not cause pneumonia or any other disease, but is necessary for good health, in winter as well as in summer. Don’t injure your health and lower your vitality by overeating, or excesses of any kind. Don't indulge to excess in alcoholic liquors. People who are addicted to alcohol reduce their resistance to pneumonia and increase the liahility of death from it, Don’t sleep with the bedroom win- dows closed. Night air is purer than day air; it contains less dust and fewer germs, Don't sit around with wet feet, with wet clothing on, Don’t forget that good general health, maintained at a high standard by right living, is the best possible safeguard against pneumonia or any other infectious or contagious disease. | There is unquestionably much good | advice contained therein! It is the| hot, unventilated room which offers the greatest contrast to the outside air. Fresh air does not necessarily mean a draft or a cold room, but it calls for a proper regard for ventilation.

Their conversation reminds me S0 of some- thing or other—oh, yes, it is the talk that flies about at our grownup's| dancing club! Nobody but married folks in that, you know! We talk just like that to_ each other, too— maybe it sounds different to an out- sider, but we are just as loving and appreciative. “Some philanthropist ought to in- troduce a law making it a crime for a man to attempt to dance with his own wife nowadays! There are more happy homes on the verge of disrup- tion at this moment, all because of old fashioned ideas of gallantry, than I like to think about. “Take a married couple who have lived together in peace for fifteen vears—the kind of couple that get each other’s slippers and remember anniversaries and still Kiss each other good-by mornings—put them in a dancing class together, and in two lessons they won’t be speaking and in four one of them will be consulting a divorce lawyer- “There is something in these new dances that rouses awful antagonism. The one who can master them gets conceited, and the one who can't man- age the bowknots and twisted feet patterns gets sensitive and irritable, and the result is that the hall is trans- formed into an arena filled with pranc- ing couples who are smiling at each other in that deadly, fixed way that means battle, murder and sudden death and who are calling each other ‘my dear’ through their clinched teeth! “Jim and I started the castle walk | at the last meeting real pleasantly, and then he switched one way and I the other, and we had to grab each other’s neck to escape a fall. ““Whatchu doing?” Jim demanded. ‘Whatchu doing yourself?

She stepped to the left and Jim step- ped to the right, and then she expos- tulated and Jim looked as meek as & turtiedove. ‘Why, of course,’ he cooed into her ear, ‘You are perfectly right—I1 remember now that it does go the other way! Thank you so much for putting me straight—let us try it again!” “Then I came on little Mrs. Pink mopping her eyes in a corner of the hall. ‘Sometimes,’ she sniffed, ‘I just perfectly hate Erwin!

And he has the nerve to tell me that I'm sfiff as a lamppost and don't get the step! Why, when I was a girl I was the b-b-best d-d-dancer in our town! I won’'t dance with him again as long as 1 live, so there! “Then Erwin Pink came and asked me to dance, and in a minute he sigh- ed and said he certainly wished Mrs. Pink was as clever at learning the hesitation as I seemed to be, and did- n't our steps go together perfectly? “He said, of course, Louise thought she could dance, poor child! “I saw Jim a short time later and he eved me with a baleful glare and said that if I really wanted to see an exhibition of a perfect hesitation waltz 1 should watch Mrs. Pink the next time he danced with her. “She is grace itself!’ he declared. ‘Funny—she says Pink can't do it at all the way I do!’ “If that dancing class lasts much longer i'll be a divorced people’s class instead of the married people’s. Out- side of the class Jim is a perfect hus- band, and I'm madly in love with him —but when I get him inside that hall and there’s a new tango in the air I just hate him so that I never want to lay eves on him again!"—Chicago News. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Disagree on Non-Essentials Rather Than Essentials. Mr. Editor: The very lengthy letter of Mr. Brown of the 16th inst. requires but a brief reply from “Seeker After Truth,” because there are but few points in this letter, although very much spread out. 1 will consider these points briefly. First—Mr. Brown _questions my proof, which is that of actual knowl- edge, as not being satisfactory to him. ‘What better or stronger proof can any person give than that of his own knowledge in evidence on any sub- Ject? Any other evidence he might| give would be hearsay, and would not be evidence at all. I could give the testimony of many others to corrob- orate my own, but it would be only | cumulative, and only be the actual | knowledge of these men who would give the testimony. Mr. Brown would not believe them any more than he be- | lieves me. Therefore, it would be | useless to exténd the line of testi- mony. Second—Mr. Brown, at great length, | attempts to show that my quotation ot | the words of the Maste By their fruits ye shall know them,” have no bearing on the passage of Mark that he refers to, when the Master gave out the great command to preach the gospel and do the other things. In| Matthew, the Master is giving the peo- | ple the rule by which they can judge Whether a prophet is false or true, and it is by their fruits. In Mark he giv the same test, for it is by their fru that it is to be decided whether they are true or false believers, and it is | by their works Yhat they shall be| known. It was the same test that was | applied in the parable of the sheep and | the goats. It was what the sheep had | done that showed just as clearly their loyalty, as what the goats had not done that showed their dislovalty to Him. i Mr. Brown speaks of the I t of the Spirit as given by the Ap He says that the fruit of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Long Suffering, Gen- tleness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Meek- nes: ntrol. Truly, these vir- tues are the fruit of the Spirit,but they inward must and then the are inward, and wk be manifested out world can see what t rdly the fruits of the within are by their manifestation in the outer life. Mr. Brown states that these w were only for the Apostolic time. There is not a suggestion in the state- ments of the Master that there was any time limit on His commands. He commanded that they should go into all the world and preach’ the Gospel. | He placed no limit on this as to. time, and there is no limit on the other part | of the command any more than on the first pa The fact that soon after the church was secularized and the world passed through the “dark age: hese powers were not manifested. is no evidence that they were limited to any time. On the contrary, the fact that these works are now being done by a multitude of teachers and healers shows that it was not for the Apostolic time, only, but | for all time, until the race should be- come perfect. H 1 cannot agree with Mr. Brown that manifested these mighty | works “as a concession to the moral | weakness and Spiritual blindness of INDOOR WORK REDUCES STRENGTH because confining duties, lack of fresh air and sunshine gradually weaken even a strong constitution, and the enfeebled system readily accepts sickness and disease. : | to the great beyond, His hearers.” On the contrary, He would not work miracles when that class of people asked for them, but He did His great works because “He had compassion on the people,” and all through His mighty works is shown His compassionate heart, in cleansing the souls of men from sin and freeing their bodies from disease. I cannot agree with the statement that Mr. Brown makes that “Doctrine was at the basis of the Christian life.” Jesus Christ said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life,” “I came that life they may have.” “In Him was life, and the life was the lighgof men.”He did not say that life was in His teachings, but that life was in Him. Third—Mr. Brown takes considera- ble space to discuss the question of be- lief and knowledge. Belief has its proper place as the starting point for receiving the word of life, but from that starting point one must go on to knowledge before he will be establish- ed in the Truth, and realize that he is on the solid rock, which means to him Salvation. Mr. Brown puts the words into my mouth that I abominate creeds and dogmas and doctrines. This is not cor These wgrds have their prop- er place. but when they take the pla of other and more important th then they are entirely wrong. I do abominate them. Mr. Brown makes the assertion that “We can never have actual knowledge of such things until we have made the great and final experiment—passed in- and demonstra to ourselves that that which we be- lieve in is an actual fact.” In other words, we cannot have actual knowl- edge until after death. Jesus said, “And ¥ Truth. and the Truth hall KNOW the hall make you not place this beyond HERE, and this was Master through all his we may KNOW the Paul repeatedly makes the statement, “I KNOW.” Shall we the Master and the Apostles, or Brown as authority psing, Mr. Brown that it is ent that ‘Seeker’ and I have few in common.” eker thinks > in agreement on more es- sential points than Mr. Brown thinks, at the disagreements are more to non-essentials than to the > did but ttitude of the hat premi: that we R TRUTH.
