The writer followed the American troops driving the Germans up a shel-torn road from Chateau Thierry to Soissons. On every pump, well, spring, public faucet or other source of water supply there was a notice telling if it was fit to drink. The returning soldiers will demand equal care for the civilian water supply. They will have learned a thousand other things about personal and social hygiene that wilf make the democracy they have saved and will help to rule safer for its citizens. i Nearty 20,000,000 men were examined for the draft. Physicians, hygienists and sanitarians will be digesting the information gained for another generation. Already start-| ling and vataable conclusions concerning certain diseases have been drawn from these figures. i } The cantonments and camps tayght volumes of the sibility of preventive care. As we apply these lessons cities, lives will grow longer and happier. We mobilized thousands of our best physicians and taught them to think in terms of masses instead of in-) dividuals, to calculate how to preserve health rather than cure disease, to heal conditions rather than treat patient: Such training prepares them to see the evils in industry, housing and general social conditions. The world needs socially-minded doctars. The Red Cross has done more than train a great army of nurses to be of inestimable value in civilian work. It has developed an intelligent interest in health matters among millions of its friends. It has taught the beginnings of health care to multitudes. It has bound the interest of a host of children to its work thru their contributed pen- nies. These will never have the careless indifference to conditions threatening human health that their parents! have shown. Every warring nation, our own included, added greatly to its hospital facilities and more to its hospital knowledge | and technique. The great system of base hospitals, prepared for the terrible casualties that fortunately did not come tc us, now affords the possibility of adequate hospital ser- vice in peace times. The slaughter of manhood has emphasized the value of human life and especially focussed attention on the need of safeguarding infancy. The United States children’s bureau tells us that we now kill 500,000 babies annually by toleration of deadly remediable social conditions. One year’s application of the lessons of war will re- piace the lives it cost. We paid a terrible price far these lessons. {t will be doubly foolish and criminal to refuse to learn them.

Much | ce»trol. has been said of the waste, the absence of thrift, among! Americans. Now comes evidence to upset the old-time notion. A few days before the armistice was signed the lines of depositors in all the savings banks of many American cities began to lengthen. Day after day they increased in| length. In one New York bank the deposits for November| increased $1,000,000 over those for November, 1917. | In the whole country, the savings bank deposits are $4,800,000,000. | Savings bank officers give various explanations of the! sudden increase in deposits. Some ascribe it to the re-| lease of hoarded money, to turning into bank vaults of | gold and silver and bank notes hidden away by persons, particularly of German or Austrian birth or descent, who! feared their possessions might be subject to seizure by the) alien enemy property custodian. } _ Whatever the explanation, the flow of money to the savings banks continues. December promises to show al-| most as well as did November the country over. Savings bank funds are invested mostly in real estate mortgages and seasoned bonds. Increase in deposits means more money for building operations. If building materials were at a figure to warrant it this sudden increase in Sav-| ings deposits would suggest that real estate activity is near.| ‘ The big lesson taught by the savings deposits is that if the American people were not thrifty they are now on! the way to becoming acquainted with thrift. | In Liberty Bonds and savings bank accounts the American people have upward of $20,000,000,000 to their credit, practically all due to savings. That is approximately $200 per capita, not considering the two billions subscribed for War Stamps. Thrift is sure coming to Ameri Our Restaurants Seattle restaurants, as compared with those of British Columbia, are profiteering unconscionably. And yet the Canadians, too, are making immense profits, so much so that a dominion investigation is con-| templated with an eye to withdrawing the licenses of those who are guilty. 4 Prices in British Columbia are 20 per cent less tha in Seattle—and the portions are larger. Take, for Se the bread question. In Seattle, restaurant patrons are still on bread rations, tho the government has lifted the ban In British Columbia, there is no such restriction, Think of the enormous advantage Seattle restaurant men have in this one item alone. They are profiting when they deny their patrons a greater amount 6f bread, This profit should enable them to reduce the prices of meals, But do they? su 7 you can notice it, "e _ Our Canadian neighbors are goi 0 with their profiteers.

The Germans hare encouraged grazing and before the war the colony had 10,000,000 head of cattle sheep and goats, A rallroad across the colony hax been built and a system of highways established since the Germans acquired it tn 1900.
