If it makes the country feel virtuous, thet is, after all, something. Whether prohibition battleships will show increased efficiency is nother question. The greatest navy in the world still serves grog <te its eailore. England has bred eea giants in her day, any one of Qhem would have thought a wineless mess poor pickings for a man. ‘The liquor question has queer quirks to it. In the current issue ef the Medical Record Dr. Biward H. Williams, a former member of @e New York State Hospital Service, assures ue that “although pro- @ibitive legislation against liquor hae increased to such an extent that ) — @t present fully one-half the people of the country are living in what fe claimed te be dry territory,” nevertheless, during the last census “@iecesce which are attributed to excessive alcoholic indulgence fnoreased more in the group of States where prohibitive legisla- ton exists than in the United States as a whole.” In the matter of temperance the United States, perhaps more Wian any other modern nation, conscientiously endeavors to play eafe. If we are erring on the wrong side we shall find it out some day and glace where it could admire them, fearned a lesson from its downfall and changed its motto: “Lead Us Not Into Temptation” became “Iead Us Into Temp- tation.” Protection is not etrength. eS ‘Again the country {s invited to weep over $200,000,000 worth of eggs broken each year on their way from hen to con- @umer. “The egg, as the hen lays {t, is invariably a good egg,” de tie a new tack. Many people are beginning to feel that the touch- ! got taste-not advocates have had ample time to show their results and 4 their case. a In Mark Twain’s tale of “The Man Who Corrupted Hadleyburg” mane of the best short stories of American life ever written—it will a be remembered that the immaculate town which kept its morals under ie % @lares the Department of Agriculture. “But one out of every N ten eggs the hen lays is broken in shipment and three out of the remaining nine are spoiled in transit. This means that ealy siz out of every ‘ten eggs reach the consumer in the shape Rature intended.” ‘This fe a crying shame, and why doesn't somebody do come Bilng adout it? Surely there is ingenuity enough in the coun- i try to invent an egg carrier that will cut down such prepos ie @erous loss. Is $200,000,000 worth of glaseware smashed every year in transit? Guch waste of eggs is paid for in the end by the consumer. %t ts a burden upon him. It is also a cruel wrong to the faith- ‘ ful, hard working fowl, who produces the cleanest, safest, most Pourishing food we eat to-day. — + __—. By ANOTHER LOCKED DOOR.

If « passing policeman hed not promptly pulled the trolley fpole from the wire, cutting off the current and stopping the flames, there would have been serious and perhaps disastrous panic. Any public vehicle, the doors of which are locked upon the occu- ents in such manner thet only an employee can open them, is ob- viously a mistake. Having discovered the awful risk of the locked oor in workrooms, we can hardly ignore a similar danger in trol- {ey cars. The new type of car in which the conductor controls doors, col- fects fares and signals the motorman, all without moving from hie ! seat, has many good points. Despite ite advantages, however, me a chanical ingenuity seems to have made it too much like a trap. Con- ~ wenience has produced a new peril. ————_-++--—__.

Oe te Ya ven Silence. 66 E emptier the wagon the louder it rattles.” Did you ever run across that saying? Probably you have heard it many times. Probably you have met many “empty wagons.” Rattling is @ very common diver- sion with # certain typo of young men. They disturb others with whom they are working, or at least with whom they are pretending to work. They chatter, not because they have something important to aay—some- thing pertinent to the work in hand —but because their tongues are not weighted down by a sense of re- sponsibility. Like the empty wagons their brains rattle through the day for want of a load of serious thought to keep them silent, A thinktr never babbles, A young man with « serious purpose in life does not have time to waste in vol- ubly pursuing inconsequential men- tal leads. When he has thought, and has something to say—something which that thought calls upon him to express—something which has a rounded purpose in being said, then he speaks, and others listen, for lis- tening then is profitable. For talking and “rattling” are two widely differ- ent things, Tf the empty wagon would forego {te rattling and put the time thus saved into thinking he would soon accumulate a valuable brain load— and then he wouldn't have to rattle for the sake of passing the time But there are other forms of silence which every young man should prac- tice--the silence when argument is or tale-bearing impenis, and thers are times when silence speaks more forcefully than words.
