SAFETY IN CROWDS.

In an entertaining article in the pub iBc&tlon issued by the state board of ItMJth of Maryland, Dr. John Fulton racks on the head the old theory that till of the health is out in the country, fcnd that the, city dweller Is the, one tohlefly exposed to disease dangers.'

Taking the typhoid records of twenty vtatoa, Dr. Pulton arranged them in Wder of their percentage of rural pop felatlon, and found that the highest fcyphold rates occurred in the least ur§ban, or in other words, the most rural fctates. He also examined some four fcundred counties which had no cities fcs large as 10,000, and found that the '3ess populous counties halve the higher

Styphold rates. "Typhoid fever is a filth disease, Everywhere and always caused by ^wallowing human fllth," he said. "The .*• chance of infection is greater under ii.' frural conditions, because the rural way S\ tef disposing human filth is to let it lie ten the ground whore it has the best fchance of coming back into the human tnouth as a contamination of food or drink. Under urban conditions, human K!5 mth Is generally disposed of in less dangerous ways, and under the best urban conditions, is disposed of in a perfectly safe manner. It is therefore, & general rule in this country, that the chances of contracting typhoid fever JL. *re highest in the smallest eommunities, and lowest in the largest."

PROSPERITY WEEK.

I A survey of business conditions as "^WUJi^h^d by the. Chicago Tribune incident to Prosperity Week shows Indiana in a very favorable light, and there is a conviction among merchants ftnd manufacturers of the state that *ve are due to return to normal conditions.

The individual, firm or corporation falling at this time to read the onward end upward sign in the business trend •will let slip a future harvest of gigantic dimensions.

Fifteen thousand employes of the SLyan works of the General Electric •company were ordered to report for *Work next Monday morning and be prepared to go back on full time.

The United States steel mills at Gary. Ind., have lighted up and 5,000 idle men will be put to work by DeIcember 1. Two thousand more have •been taken care of by the starting up fcf the Kokomo (Ind.) steel and wire orks. During the last ten days several thousand men who have been out work for months have returned to •work in the steel mills at Indiana Harbor, Hajnmond and East Chicago. The Couth Chicago plant of the Illinois Steel ieoihpany has put back to work 2,000 inMi who were laid off last spring. This

He Was Deaf

(Astonishing Improvement in Hearing, f:-. ,.. Edward Gregory, Engineer, i1 Gives Information Free.

An engineer who had ear trouble for years fiimlly became so deaf he could not hear the sound of steam engine, bellft or voices. After vainly seeking relief he'was'compelled to give up his position. His case seemed hopeless. His deafness was aggravated by head disturbances, dry catarrh, nervousness and despondency.

TO the surprise of all, he began to hear and continued improving until lie could listen to converations, could Lear a train at a distance and even the singing of the birds in the trees. His fc.ead and nerves became tranauil. He lot his position back again. This was |o miracle no surgery, no artificial peering devices, ro electric apparatus, Eo loss of time.

raises the total of men employed at the South Chicago plant to 8,500. The full quota is 10,000.

Charles M. Schwab a few clays ago expressed himself on the situation as follows: "The United States will be the only country to benefit by the war. Germany nominally produces fifteen million tons of steel each year, and of this amount about eight million ton§ are exported." This is shut off. The advantage is all with us. We are recovering from the shock of war, business has discovered that new legislation is not inimical, and every commercial erN terprise should feel the stimulating effect of better conditions, by the arrival of the new year."

GETTING THERE AND BACK.

One of the'speakers at the good road conference In, the. Chamber of Commerce a few days ago made the point that good roads meant more proficient teachers in the country schools. The Idea might be elaborated on, and consistently. The public educator of today recognizes the fact that Improved roads are necessary to his success. To the church and the school house the nation owes its life, liberty and happiness. Raise the standard of both and you increase the power for good in our national existence.

Religion is the relation that man has to his: God .and his. neighbor some people never visit their relations others would if they could. The rdad tb glory is paved with good intentions and has many advocates, but the road to the neighbor is full of chuck holes and not traveled much.

Educational leaders have in the past occupied themselfves in building up city schools and have neglected the rural school. Rural teaching was not appraised at its true value, either in pay or in position, so that the better teachers left the country schools as soon as they gained ejxperience to go into the'cities. The unattractive country school, together with the mud road, augmented this trouble until the rural school became a poor second in our educational system. The progressive educator of today sees this error and desires to raise the standard of rural teachers and dignify the rural school work. In this problem he recognizes that good roads are the most potential factor to its success. Therefore, the educator, be he preacher or teacher,

should ally himself with the good roads movement in order to be consistent with his ideals. Help build better roads, better schools and better chur*bhfestf

"To be a herald of thy country's fame, Thy first ambition and thy dearest aim.''

THE WAR BIRDS.

Although the Germans for some weeks have been in possession of points in northern France considered in airship range of London, the greatly dreaded overhead attack has failed to materialize. The suspicion comes that the Germans intended their announcements more to scare the British than as an actual plan of warfare. London has heard that the Germans plan an attack ofver the channel. It is wise, therefore, for the British to guard against attack, and to be prepared for the most unexpected developments. At the same time they should bear in mind that nothing short of a modern miracle can really menace British shores.

There can be little doubt that the undisguised activity in certain German quarters is intended to exercise a detrimental psychological effect on the British people. A nation which is really in fear of invasion will not fight so vigorously or so disinterestedly for the

protection of an ally. It would be greatly to Germany's advantage to frighten Great Britain into retaining for home defense a large part of the great armies which Kitchener is raising. These men would be practically out of the war. They would diminish the reinforcements which the French are expectng, and upon which General Joffre's present strategy seems to be largely dependent.

A modern war is not fought solely on the battle fields. Each contestant is aware of the value of psychological warfare. To cause deterioration of an enemy's mental attitude is almost as important as to weaken his position in the field. This fact is recognized by the governments in their constant coloring of news, to encourage their own people, and to discourage, if possible, their foes. A far greater achievement would be to frighten a whol nation with a menace made more terrifying by its indeflniteness.

DENATURED PERSIMMONS.

Here in Vigo county, where it attains its largest size and its most luscious flavor, the persimmon has always been held in deep regard as one of the rewards of the fall season. Hence some interest attaches to the effort of the scientists of the department of agriculture to remove the only thing that differentiates it from a piece of codfish, its inimitable and unsalable pucker. This famous astringent qualty, wheh has gven the persimmon its place among our famous products, is now to be abolished by departmental decree. Uncle Sam's wise men have discovered that if you will take a persimmon and lock it up in a hermetical-

How I Earned My First Dollar

J. Harry Miller, county assessor-j fleet and a member cf the firm of Jac-'iues Miller, agents for the Maxwell automobile, earned his first dollar selling newspapers on the streets of Tej're Haute. His outburst of ambition wncn he was but nine years oid was due to the desire to possess. new splid tired safety bicycle which! he Saw exhibited in the window of a! Hiore. Hp finally prot the bicycle but it took him some time to save the! money. "About the first money that I remember of earning was made selling the Saturday Evening Mail," said Mr. Miller in speaking of hi® first money. "The office was located then where the Isaac Ball Undertaking firm is now and 1 sold the papers every Saturday. I started an account with the Terre Haute Savings bang and saved my mor.ev until 1 hajl $4. Then I bought the bicycle."

Mr. Miller v»sls educated in the public schools of Terre Haute and attended Culver Military academy. After leaving the military school he entered the clothing store of hi« father, J. 1\ "H. Miller, and afterward bought the store with his brother, Charles, as a partner. He sold out his business seme time later and travelled for Mc-Quilan-Harrison, plothiers. He then went to Jackson, Mich., for a time and later returned to Terre Haute to accept the position of deputy assessor

ly sealed contrjvance containing car-,bonic-acid gas and leave it there long enough, it may be/eaten with Impunity. Technically these experts declare that the action of the carbonic-acid gas hardens the tiny capsules of the fruit which contain the tannic acid that is responsible for its vigorous astringency, and thus makes them insoluble and tasteless.

All of which may be very lovely but an indignant nation thunders back the question, "Why?"

Why should a highly paid governmental department interfere thus ruthlessly with the precious patrimony of the persimmon? All of which causes an essayist in Judge to arise to remark: "Puckerless persimmons! Bryanless chautauquas! Brineless ocean! Umpireless baseball! F'adless fashions! Yea, tear from us our most cherished legends, destroy for us our most treasured heritage! Wipe our England's magna charta, trample underfoot the American constitution. Take 'Uncle Joe's' cigar away! But leave, oh, leaVe the persimmon's pucker untouched, intact and unprofaned!"

A CONNOISSEUR.

A woman who had engaged a new servant felt that she had at last secured the proverbial treasure, for the girl seemed to have a due appreciation of her beautiful home. "So you prefer to work in fine houses?" she remarked. "Shure. mum," replied the girl. "It's a pleasure to hev nuthin' but ixpinsive dishes to break."—Judge.

As I look upon the cross, I am overwhelmed by the thoughts which come rushing through my brain but as 1 continue to gaze one thought eclipses all the rest and I find myself saying over and over again: "What wondrous love is this Oh my soul:"

And then I can think of nothing else. For the highest, deepest thing In the universe is love, and the highest and deepest love is here.

What did Jesus do for me when he died on the cross? First, in some sense he took my place. He stood up in my stead. He thrust himself in bfetWeen me and the descending rod. .Let no one misunderstand me. have not in mind that awful picture men used to see of an angry God raising the lash against his rebellious subjects, and the Son of God rushing in and taking the stripes on his own back. I do not know about that. But it is plain to me that man had brought himself- death, and that Jesus, the Son of God, sent by God Himself, yet coming of his own will, threw himself to die, so that if we accepted Him as our sacrifice, we might live. .Second, in dying for me He gave Himself as a sacrifice to offer to God for my sins I cannot comprgfiend all that this means, but 1 know that such one as Jesus must be a complete, allsufficient. eternally acceptable sacrifice to my God.

Third, he gave me a revelation of the love of God, such as had never before been given to men. Without the cross men might think of G'od as good, kind, benevolent, merciful, but never as an infinite in love.

If we could only feel every day, and every moment of the day, that God, who has our lives in his keeping, loves

HOROSCOPE FOE A DAY.

Persons whose birthdate it is are warned to avoid speculation and travel. The augury for the year Is rather threatening.

Children born on this day are likely to be aspiring and restless

BOYHOOD DATS.

That the head of a small boy can do, To start splendid ships upon "wonderful trips

And patiently wait for them, too.

I'd give a good deal could I only go hack To the boy that I was over there. When life stretched ahead In a wonderful track,

And I knew not the station of care. When I knew not the bad and the sordid and sad,

When vice hadn't entered the scene. And life was a Joy to a barefooted boy. And never a thought was unclean.

I'd give a good deal could I only return To the marvelous things that I planned And yearn as a small boy of old used to yearn lhe plaudits of all to command. To stretch out and gane with wide eyes at the blaae

Of the wood on the hearth and to nee My plume shining bright in the thick 01' of the light

That some day was going to be.

I'd give a good deal to tread over again The miles that are stretching behlnd. To go back to the wonderful country of then,

Where never a heart was unkind. To start out anew as the boy that

Receding Gums From Microbes and Acids

So much of beauty and health depends upon the condition of your teeth that their care and preservation should be a matter of great concern to you. The mouth is the gateway of nutrition. It should be clean. You don't carry decayed food in your finger nails —whv carrv food in the cavities and crevices of "your teeth? asks the New York World. Some people know almost nothing about the proper care of the mouth and teeth. They allow yellow furrows on the tongue, yellow or pale brown coatings on the teeth, blackened condition of the teeth on the inside, etc. Then comes a little microbe that lives and thrives and multiplies on these conditions, bores holes in the teeth, makes crevices and infests the whole upper and lower ranges of teeth—you have sore gums, loosened teeth, inflamed, red and swollen gums, teeth dropping outward or forward, bleeding gums, exudation's from the teeth, and odor that is at once offensive to you and to everyone, the gums will shrink away from the neck of the teeth, and peculiar sensations come from drinking hot or cold drinks, eating sweets, etc. All at once one realizes that the entire range of teeth is in rebellion and action is necessary even the nervous system may become impaired.

Now. these conditions can be readily overcome. You can destroy the microbes, rob the teeth of their yellow coating, stop the soreness over night if you will just get four ounces of fluid ergan from your druggist (that's all you will need), and use a teaspoonful morning, noon and night, rocking it to and fro in your mouth for a minute or so. You will awake mornings with a sense of cleanliness in your mouth, the sensitiveness will disappear, and your teeth will be firm and strong, gradually becoming normal.
