What could have been done to give greater fame or great effect to this book than this tyrannical procedure. WHAT IS A COWARD? Just now we have such frequent use for the word coward that we may as well analyze it. 5 In the first place a man honest cannot be a coward. It doesn't take any more courage to die than it does to be honest under some conditions. A Philadelphia man who had no qualifications for a soldier went to President Wilson's secretary and said: “My health is fine. Honest, Mr. Tumuilty, there ain’t a thing the mat- ter with me except I am afraid. I teli you I can't fight. I wake up in the middle of the night and see my- selt under a pile of dead men, with the cannon blatting all around and every bullet coming my way. It isn't that I don't want to be a soldier, but I just haven't got the goods, that’s all” Any strictly man who can talk this way about himself s not a coward. In private life he is the man who at any moment might risk his life to save life and be heroic. He might be more useful to his country than he would be in the trenches, and he might do twice the labor of a soldier for his country without shrinking. In our rage for blaming and brand- ing we do injustice to many useful and willing men. ‘The man who can’t lie, or who won't lie, can never be a coward. The unfit though healthy should be used right. SLIGHT GOVERNMENTAL ERROR. The government has announced that “the only good fly is a dead fiy,” which is about as true as the older declaration that “the only good In- dian is a dead Indian.” All flles are not filthy and all flies do not spread disease, for the Spanish fly has been prescribed for a good and useful purpose by the physicians for more than one century. The inchnuemcn files and the s: phid flies are destroyers of many in- jurious insects, and make way with millions of them every year. There are scores of varisties of L which neter feed on offal, or invade the house to run upon pantry pastry, to get foundered in the butter dish, or to get drowned in the milk or to worry the baldheaded man, craw] over the sick, or to menace the h&alth of the robust.

The Kaiser planned well against the first American fleet, but he had no reason to be proud of the submarine performance. Verdun has eaten up the pride of the German armv. and is ready to de- vour anything the Crown Prince may throw against her. The Russian women who went to the front have no trouble to prove they are equal to brave men and are entitled to brave men’s rights. Uncle Sam's expense account for the first half of this year was neariy 233 million. That's nothing to what it will be in the next six months. When the war is over John Bull will not be able to tax Canada a nickel to pay the debt where he taxes himself a penny, as in the past. The Waterbury Republican is a very polle sheet. Every day it says to its patrons: “Good mornin: The Bulletin always feels like saying, “How are you?” Meriden finds 75 per cent of its se- lected men fit, and Waterbury 80 per cent.

In most households the meal has been planned without regard to the food value of bread itself. This has been tacked on. For instance, a dinner that contains potatoes, cottage pudding and bread, has too much starch. The pota- toes may be omitted, the bread and cottage pudding supplying-ail that is necessary. A supper that includes rice, bread and cake will be dietetically bettered by the elimination of either the rice or the cake, the bread furnishing the necessary constituents. % In other words, bread is; in spite inexpensive food becavse it contains the largest amount of varied nutriment of any food that may be purchased, and because if combined properly into the menu, other foods, such as potatoes and habit, may be eliminated. and fewer doctor’s bills.

The Trishman, after a painful effort, succeeded In getting from his pocket a rosary of beads with a crucifix attached.

The grated rind of a lemon to two quarts of fruit improves flavor. Boil the sections in the syrup until tender, fill_jars wth fruit and add bolling syrup to overflowing, and seal at once.
