American Good Nature.
One of the most attractive things
about the American people Is their
unfailing good nature. The cost of
living is simply terrible, as the phrase
Is. Everybody except the rich feels
It severely. Wagesf and. In a less de
gree, salaries ar« higher, but they
have not gone up nearly as fast or as
far ns the*prlces of commodities. Llv-
ing Is no joke, says Ohio State Jour^
nal. And yet almost all of us make a
Joke of It. The groceries and the
meat shops, for instance, are full of
good-natured banter among customers
and proprietors as to a dime’s worth
for 25 cents and kindred simple pleas
antries. The husband, father and pro
vider and the housekeeper have their
moments of depression over the ques
tion of how much longer they can
keep out of the poorhouse at this rate,
and yet most of us do contrive to keep
out and laugh about our alleged prox
imity to It And somehow or other we
manage to scrape up enough to give
a little something to every worthy
cause that comes along, and how they
Somebody has been reminded by the
first transatlantic flight that there Is
another ocean, Just across th6 Ameri
can continent, which nobody seems to
have thought of In connection with
aeroplanes. The Pacific, however, Is
used to playing second fiddle—If an
ocean can be Imagined fiddling. It
might be even said that Japan Is val
uable to the eastern half of the United
States as an occasional reminder that
there is such a thing as the Pacific
ocean, says Christian Science Moni
tor. It would be a wider space to
cross, but it has many - more Islands
than the Atlantic, and a course could
perhaps be charted without much dif
ficulty which the airmen could follow
from California to Japan. Or again,
if he started far enough north, the air
man, theoretically at least, could cross
the Pacific without stopping anywhere
In about 15 minutes.
It cannot be doubted that the course
of human progress and development
for all the future will be affected In
Important respects by the mingling of
races along that awful battle line from
the North sea to Switzerland, In Alpine
Italy, on the eastern side of the Adri
atic, In Macedonia and Mesopotamia,

the blood have a very depressing effect on
the system, causing weakness, laziness,
nervousness and sickness.
GROVE'S TASTELESS Chill TONIC
restores Energy and Vitality by Purifying
and Enriching the Blood. When you feel
its strengthening, invigorating effect, sqn
how it brings color to the cheeks and h«w
it improves the appetite, you will then
appreciate its true tonic value.
GROVE’S TASTELESS Chill TONIC
is not a patent medicine, it is simply
IRON and QUININB suspended in Syrup.
So pleasant even children like it. The
blood needs Quinine to Purify it and IRON
to Enrich it These reliable tonic prop
erties never fail to drive out impurities in
the blood.
The Strength-Creating Power of GROVE’S
TASTELESS Chill TONIC has made it
the favorite tonic in thousands of homes.
More than thirty-five yean ago, folks
vronld ride a long distance to get GROVE’S
TASTELESS ChiU TONIC when a
member of their family had Malaria or
needed a body-building, strength-giving
tonic. »The formula is Just the same to

be that among the besefits of the great

dreamed of, but which has hitherto
seemed to be beyond the limits of
possibility.
The figures of the Red Cross show
that 8,000,000 women volunteers made
garments and surgical dressings worth
over $81,000,000. It was something of
a “bit” the women of the country ac
complished, exclusive of the nurses
and war workers in various military
and naval departments.
EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY. *
“The world In which we live must
be brought more fully Into the school
house," says a bulletin from* the De
partment of education. This ia well
enough as a way of putting the fie- -
maud for expansion of school interest.
But the really Important thing Is to
make more of the world live In the
pupils. For It Is only that part cf the
of what It paid; for 4,605 motors it
gets 19 per cent. At such rates. If these
were offered to the people, hundreds
of thousands would be able to afford
a flying machine.
Some French actuary Is now esti
mating that in another half century
Paris will have 6,000,000. There is aa
much Paris right now as France needs.
France needs more communities that
will behave better and work harder
than Paris.
Better roads In the country and bet
tor housing facilities In the city will
give, needed employment on necessary
improvements, discourage bolshevism
and generally help make the world
safe for democracy.
The prince of Denmark visiting
here, likes Americans. And the Amer
icans he has met like the prince of
Denmark, so here Is one nation with

Into living consciousness that consti
tutes “the world In which we live” to
any person. Here Is a thing; the edu
cators must not forget or belittle. In
creasing subjects taught, means of
teaching them, teachers and the sal
aries of the teachers, will all be meas
ured for value received In what of the
world lives In the minds of the pupils.
Progress does not come of facts
known, until those facts are handled by
the Imagination. We are moving on
to new masteries of forces and means
that are beyond sensation. Electrons^

minds of people who take the facts
they have, put them Into all sorts of
new relations, make suppositions and
see If these are consistent with known
facts, and slowly reach out beyond
what can be sensed In the world
about us. An education that busied
Itself with the sensible facts of the <
world and failed to develop the think
ing power of the pupil would be a
futile affair.
The lesson of sound Investment has
been learned by many millions through
the liberty and victory loan campaigns.
The moral of the campaigns has prob
ably been lost on great numbers of
men, but the lesson will stick in mil
lions of minds. The other lesson—gar
dening—has been learned by great
numbers whose hands had never be
fore known the pleasant feel of a hoe
handle, says Washington Star. This
is obvious within Washington and the
nearby country. Hundreds pf families
are making potatoes, onions. Carrots
and tomatoes grow where such things
never grew before. The gardening
habit has probably become fixed and
Is likely to spread, because of the
force of good example. The home
garden is full of pleasure and profit-
after a man learns how.

to be put on trial. If they are found
guilty of sinking hospital ships, of
firing on lifeboats and deliberately
drowning their prisoners, there will
probably be no voice, raised against
their capital punishment, for even or
ders could not relieve the doers of
such Illegal and Inhuman deeds of per
sonal responsibility.
Count. Sergius Witte, who died two
years before the czar was overthrown,
was perhaps the best Informeid of
Russians on diplomatic mattera,
though he officially retired In 1906.
His widow has arranged for the pub
lication of Witte’s ‘Memoirs’ In the
United States. They may throw much
light on Russia’s part In the beginning
of the world war.
Over seven million and a half
resent the total paid In human life
as the price of the jsvorld war, says
Baltimore American. It would be un
thinkable if this tremendous crime
against humanity should go into his
tory without Its authors and thelf
punishment going along with them as
a lesson to future generations.
It Is a pity that the self-styled, war
lord who told Ambassador Gerard he
would stand no nonsense from Amer
ica, did not tarry long enough to see
the American doughboys raise Old
Glory over the Rhine. He would have
realized then how little nonsense he
would have been called upon to stand.
