WhutWI BM|. I. T. City

THE JOY OF LIVING.

According to Dr. Tabor, of the health board, the city is in excellent health, and fewer cases of contagious diseases halve been reported during the past month than for the same period for severa) years past. In commenting on the diminishing number of suicides,

Tabor adds that the joy of living in Terre Haute, especially in the fall months, has eradicated all motive. However, this is true generally.

A statistical expert, writing in a New 0 York insurance publication, states that the urban suicide rate of 1913 was the lowest on record. This is the more notable in that 1908, only five years earlier, had the highest recorded rate.

Suicide must be broadly interpreted as a dissatisfaction with conditions of life. Insanity, disappointment in love, dread of punishment, or mere lack of health account for many self-murders. But there are plenty of others which be traced only to general wearlS ness and discouragement. This latter class causes the fluctuation in the sui-

r.-

InIi'

cfde rate. !"*•£•{*,The record, then, would show that last year, was a good period for living.

Even the great war, which calamity is so remotely felt in America, may tend to lessen the impulse of self-destruc-tion. By comparison with conditions in Europe, life in this country must appear highly desirable.

In this connection it is interesting to note that the suicide rate in the larger' cities does not exceed that of ^Te' small cities. In the great communities where life is most wearing ind wher^ the struggle for existence & .8 most intense, the impulse to end the fight by the easiest and most cowardly means is no stronger than in the places where life is supposed to be less strenuous and more alluring. Perhaps the man of the big city is too busy to think of killing himself.

THE NEXT SESSION.

Congressman Ralph W. Moss wiJl leave within a few days for Washington to be on hand for the opening of congress next Monday. Public men generally anticipate a short session, and while there is much routine business to be transacted, the party leaders are laying their plans to get to work promptly.

Of immediate interest are the big appropriation bills which must be en-

acted before adjournment unless a special session is to be called. It will be generally agreed that the administration heads are right in opposing the idea of such a special session unless events between now and then appear to make such a session advisable.

Three months of congress, even with the usual holiday recess, ought to be enough to, accomplish the necessary business. As for the rest, it can wait till the new congress meets twelve months from now.

Congress adjourned just the other day after being in practically continuous session for some nineteen months. Much of great importance was accomplished, and the record was approved at the polls.

Speaker Clark says congress now will hardly do more than mark time for a period. He referred, of course, to new legislation outside of such routine matters as appropriations, and perhaps his prediction will prove accurate.

THE HOP EPIDEMIC.

When we see tired business men take an hour off to witness a demonstration of the "modern" dances we can well conclude that the season of St. Vitus has set in. So insistent have been the demands for some information on this subject the following brief set of rules has been compiled which may enable us to get through the season:

Rule I. Always place your feet where your partner's feet are not. Rule II. If you get a partner with whom you cannot dance, do not apologize. Start an argument.

Rule III. If you bump into another couple, growl about these cyclone dancers who seem to think they own the hall.

Rule IV. If when you fall your partner sits on your ear, do not become embarrassed, but make a facetious remark, such as, "Do you like to ride on the Erie?" or, "All off—this is as far as I go."

Rule V. If you should miss the floor with your feet and use your partner's instep, stop dancing and, looking at her seriously, ask her where she learned to dance. This will not only avert suspicion from yourself but lead her to believe that you were the guy who taught Mrs. Castle how to walk.

Rule VI. Never watch your feet, for that is useless. Watch the floor, which is likely to fly up and hit you any time. (In our next lesson, Doc Sology will explain the "Diplocuccus Dip.")

WAR'S BUSINESS.

The American public has not forgotten the storm that swept the land over the embalmed beef scandal during th£ Spanish-American war. Of similarity astounding force is the charge made by the Belgians that the German armor plants have furnished Belgians with inferior guns and armor during all of these years, weakening her against an enemy, whom Belgium little suspected would be Germany herself.

England, it seems, has her war scandal. Contractors have supplied shoddy uniforms of such vile material that after one march in the rain the soldiers have been able to thrust their fingers through the rotten goods. A combination for holding up the price of all kinds of war supplies is definitely asserted by the British press.

The war of the United States against Spain was not, by comparison, a serious matter. The national existence of the republic was not at stake. At the worst no one fancied that Spain could

There is Danger in Neglecting a Case of Catarrh!

If you are suffering from catarrh it is wrong for you to neglect it a single moment. From a troublesome complaint it soon develops into a serious illness. The whole body soon feels its weakening influence. You can rid yourself of this curse if you seek the right remedial help. It has been proved in thousand of cases—by actual trial—that

In Nasal Catarrh it is best to use Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy to cleanse the passages while relying upon Dr. Pierce'sGolden Medical Discovery to permanently restore healthyconditions.

A little book hew been issued containing extracts from the writings of eminent medical authorities, and it will be worth your while to get and read a copy. It will show you just why Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will eradicate catarrhal conditions of the stomach, bowels, bladder and other pelvic organs and why for your lasting good you should rid yourself of the danger of catarrh in any form.

conquer America. The United States was bound to drive the Spaniards out of Cuba, and volunteers were needed for the work. But the business of the country was scarcely ruffled, and there was no apprehension of disaster.

Great Britain is now fighting for her very life. The future existence of her empire is dependent on victory. And in this hour of direst national need there are those who take advantage of conditions for their personal profit at the expense of the nation.

Treason is held to be the gravest of crimes. One who sells or betrays his country's secrets to the enemy is forthwith adjudged worthy of death. A man who profits by his country's need, who victimizes his country, is, in the layman's judgment, an even greater culprit. But for him there is no summary judgment. He does not endanger his neck. The very safety of his villainy makes him the more despicable.

In several states the question who is to get. the minority jobs appears fully as important irii the minority mind as those other questions which are supposed to animate patriot breasts.'

A hero in melodrama is rarely a hero in real life, but this doesn't apply to actor Robert Lorraine, who returns to London from the fighting front incapacitated by a serious wound.

"Shot off his foot," says a contemporary of a local hunter. Any way, that may be a relief from shooting off one's mouth, a habit to which so many are addicted.

"Portugal has decided not to enter the war hastily," says a foreign correspondent. At least she should't do it until after she takes the next census.

NoK-ember certainly deserved a medal for the part she took in raising the standard of the year.

A correspondent gravely tells the New York Sun that he could be very

HOROSCOPE FOR A DAY.

Thursday, December 3f 1914.

This is not an important day, according to the reading of the stars. Mars is in a place strongly malefic. Jupiter is in kindly aspect.

Jupiter is in a place believed to be lucky for opening new places of husiness, asking co-operation and speculating. Immense fortunes will be made in the new year, and the sources of many will be questionable.

The president is warned of an aspect which is read as indicating that he will be severely criticised. He will be accused of favoritism, the seers declare, and will find disaffection among members of congress.

Theatrical affairs are subject to a leading that is not encouraging. Again sweeping chaftge& in management *tnd in methods of producing plays are predicted. There is a good omen for moving pictures, which will receive a great impetus from educational sources.

Writers have a better outlook than they have had for a year. Fame is coming to a woman who will voice truth fearlessly.

Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of rather an anxious year. Both men and women may be harrassed by many cares, but they will have power to improve bad conditions.

Children born on this day may be self-willed and difficult to manage, but t'-ey will obtain what they desire in life.
