BRYAN’S VISIONS. a HIS current message—we have lost track of the number—Mr. a I Bryan deplores the inconvenience and expense to which neutral Fs nations are put in their effort to keep out of bloody conflicts in which other governments embroil themselves. ‘This is all wrong, says Mr. Bryan. “As soon as peace returns there will be a demand for | _ an international conference on the subject. The presumption should then be given to peace, for peace, not war, is the normal condition.” c But suppose there should be a nation, or nations, unprepared to | admit that presumption should be giten to peace. Suppose such a | mation still regards war an inevitable part of national progress and holds that international law is only binding within variable limits. Suppése such a nation is powerful and successful enough to back its theories at any moment with millions of armed men and billions of » cash, Would it be possible for peaceful nations to preserve the pre _ sumptions of peace save by chastising the unruly one until its power to disrupt peace and law was nullified? And if not, wherein would the resultant carnage differ essentially from that which now reddens the earth? Or does Mr. Bryan know some terrestrial police powerful enough to arresi an obstreperous nation of sixty or seventy million people and lock it up until it cools off? oto STILL RISING. HOUGH somewhat neglected of late in public discussion, the cost of living has been diligently trying to keep up its end— 4 with success. Figures published by the Department of Labor show that retail a prices of necessities in this country are higher than they have ever been. The familiar fifteen-articles-on-the-workingman’s-table cost on an average two per cent. more in 1914 than in 1913, and five and a half per cent. more than in 1912. Going further back, the average ‘American, we are told, finds it costs him about a quarter as much to live now as it did in 1907. The burden is slightly easier in the West than in the Eastern and Middle sections of the country. Horace Greeley's advice still has point for young men. But why is it that East and West, North and South, the’cost of living is always bent on one unvarying purpose—to | keep life down, never by any chance to encourage it? ————42 PRAISE FOR THE OLD STYLE SAILOR.

He says im part: “She gradually cared less for my attention until she seemed to have an aversion for any advance of affection on my part, At the least show of love, it is alwaye greeted with ‘Don't! T am busy,’ or ‘I want to read,’ &c, She is an excellent mothor bimeelf and a splendid woman in every re- | spect, and, of course, I do not blame ner if her love is gon But she should been married for many ‘ought to know better.” So that | am at a loss to know the truth, and I am truly unhappy.

A woman will remodel her complexion, tint her hatr, hide her diepo sition and disguise her figure—and then weep because a man doesn't love her “for herself.” Funny how a woman's disapproval of poker playing fluctuates ao | cording to whether her husband has won or lost the night before. Whether a man regards a woman’s smile as a temptation, an invitation | or a visitation depends entirely on how long he has known her. When a man really cares to kiss a girl, somehow he doesn't dare— and when he really dares, somehow he doesn’t care. | ‘Things You Should Fnow Why Prescriptions Are in Latin. PRESCRIPTION from a doc- tor, as we all know, is invari- ably written in the Latin lan- guage, and persons are often heard to wonder why a so-called dead lan- guage is used nowadays instead of their own. ‘There are several good reasons why this has been done for years and will, no doubt, continue to be done. In the first place, Latin is a more exact The patient reads it, thinks he can remember it, and so tries to get it filled from memory the next time he needs it to use, Suppose, for instance, it called for lodide of potassium and he got it confused with cyanide of potassium. He might easily make that very mis- take, and, while he mjght safely take several grains of the first drug, one grain of the second would kill him. This case, though perhaps an extreme one, serves for an filustration. Latin, then, is a protection and a is, the scientific 'wo-thirds of all such drugs have ily no English names, and so could not be written in —— But, suppose a doctor does agree to write a prescription in English for an uneducated patient?

Would it hot be wise for you to suggest that wives be careful not to alienate their hus- Sapee’ love? ‘os, that is a worthy suggestion, “Mr. Starved.” ‘oo often does the husband seek the love that is denied him away from his home precincts, While ne man should expect a woman to show an affection which she does not feel and which is distasteful to ber, yet it were best for all concerned if absolute FRANKNESS prevailed, even though it hurt. It 1s much better to understand the thing and face the issue, whether it may mean parting of the ways or not. It better than starving a love that is sought without success. This uncertainty, with its consequent pain and sorrow, puts treachery in the heart. It is only in stories that men live on the love of yesterday— and women too. The daily prayer of the human, whether he voices it to take a@ lit! where, or not, is to possess a love that is reciprocat. i For love is the loaf of tite. ‘The|”** ‘Bere woman who truly loves her husband| tf a cannot afford to be so sure of it| inutile that he must needs take it 18; and “wants to read,” @ little sacrifice + go a long way And if he finds ‘asteful to her, the sooner it is understood and some plan agreed upon the better, Yet no woman should exchange af- fection for a meal ticket; for sho then becomes the well known parasite on the thin “I only told Gertrude it was her duty to go to her sister if her sister was 8 —for Gertrude So Wags the World By Clarence L.
