THE WORLD'S A STAGE."

Tl Is with saddened heart that his friends hear of the parsing of George W. Maharo. Like Torick, we knew hlih Well, He early became addicted to the •tage, and the mlmk: world and its interests were his meat and drink. Too, the stage of George Mahare was the Stage of tradition, the stape of Booth, Barret, Jefferson, McCullough, MansBeld, Goodwin and Reed. In the long misty past, his talents were at the command of the public here. Since his retirement from the stage, his life has been participation in one benefit after another (and always for someone •lse or some cause besides his own). He was Ihe embodiment of open-hand-•d liberality, a keen but gentle observer of the passing show, and man of warm and f-enial disposition towards, as he was jwont to say, "the well known human family." While cfelebritjr and fame were never his •hare, his artistry was pronounced and distinctive, and his support was eagerJy sought by others who took more of the world's acclaim.

St. Peter will have no more friendly critic than George Mahare, and If from ,now on henoe the S. R. O. sign adorns the pearly gates, we will know that there is an extra added attraction. A new placer, has arrived, on the celestial rialto.

Sketches from Life

whether England was to be a constitutional monarchy or an absolutism were won, where ship money and the Illegal commission of York were attacked and where the trial of the bishops settled forever the question of the dispensing power of the crown. Englishmen did not shrink from Indicting an English king as *""a. tyrant, ft murderer and# a public enemy." They are not likely to soften phrases for a German king who tried to do on a European scale what Charles and James tried to do in the British Isles. Wilhelm ought to be tried in Westminster hall where, more than In any other place during the critical period when the contest between constitutionalism and absolutism hung In the balance, the foundations of democracy as It exists today both In England and America, were firmly and successfully laid.

IN DAYS OF PEACE.

Beating swords into plowshares aftd spears into pruning hooks la a fine poetical simile that continues to survive the ages. It hasn't the practical value that it possessed in Isaiah's day, when swords and spears were the principal weapons of offense. Swords have become largely decorative, and the. use of the war-spear is confined very largely to the mid-African fighting man.

An after-the-war conversion that seems really worth while is reported from Paris, where a distinguished member of the Pasteur Institute has told the French Acadet.iy of Sciences that poison gas—last word in war's atrocities—can be applied for the destruction of caterpillars and all injurious larvae. He declares that he has found it especially serviceable in the treatment of a/fected trees

If you feel that you must smoka, chew or snuff to quiet your nerves, you are a slave to the twbacce habit, and are positively poisoning yourself with the deadly drug nicotine. In either case you have Just two alternatives—keep on With the self-polsonlng process irrespective of the dangers and suffer the consequences, or give up the habit and escape the dangers. You can overcome the craving and stop the habit In a very short time by using the following Inexpensive formula. Go to any drug store and ask for Klcotol tablets, take one tablet after eRch meal, and In a comparatively short time you will have no desire for tobacco, the cravir.f? will have left you. With the nicotine poison out of yuu«system your general health will quickly Improve.

ing energies of these gases intb useful channels of the character reported, the sooner the method of application is made known the better. If by one sweeping exhalation the potato bug and the tomato worm and the tree infesting moth and all their kindred can be destroyed, what an amazing blessing the holocaust would be.

It has been reporte'd that vast quantities of these noxious gases are in fjtorage, stranded^by the signing of the armistice, their safe and economic disposal being a seri6us problem. But if, as the French scientist asserts, the gases can be used for the destruction of Injurious larvae, -the problem may be solved and a priceless benefit conferred.

THE WOMEN CONVENE.

The meeting in St. Louis of four of the most Important national organizations of business and professional women at the same time may result in the organization of a comprehensive business women's organization, comjurable in Its scope to the National Chanjber of Commerce.

But whether this is the putcome or not, the .organized business' %om«n of the country will be able to play a large part In public affairs both with respect to such general questions as affect men and women alike, and with regard to the problems which appeal particularly to women.

One of these questions is that of business and professional equality for women. Few laws now stand in the way of the business women, but customs and prejudices, having the force of law so far as their practical effects are concerned, still deny women equal pay for equal service in many lines.

It is often said by employers that women are not paid as much as men because women will not take the same sustained interest In their work that men do. It is said that their thoughts are more upon marriage and home building than upon work, and that while the ambition to marry and have a home makes a man a better worker it has the opposite effect upon women.

To the extent that this is true, it is not a bad sign, for the best work that most women can do in this world is in the home, but the answer does not meet the complaint.

No sensible woman is asking that Inefficient women shall be paid as well as efficient men. They are demanding what simple justice demands, and that is that where service is equal it shall be equally paid.

It is idle to discuss that position. It proves itself.

PAYING OFF THE MORTGAGE.

Mathias Erzberger, addressing the German national assembly, boldly talks of heavy taxes to be levied on property^ incomes and inheritances so as to increase the revenues of the general government several fold.- At the same time, he calls for a reduction and the eventual extinction of pensions to the unemployed. Thus he challenges rich and poor. At the same time, ^ie ad-

dresses himself to conservative sentiment and affronts the radicals by declaring that he has no patience with proposals looking to the repudiation of the national debt or a general declaration of bankruptcy.

He dearly expects that Germany will solve her difficult financial problems along old lines and outlines no easy path for any element in the community.

In another direction Gustav NopVe takes an equally confident stand. He says that he never had less fear of a Bolshevik uprising in Germany than he has now. |n & talk with a New Y,ork correspondent he indicated that arrangements are complete for dealing with any royalist uprising in the army by paralyzing the whole transportation system of Germany, if necessary, through the organized workers. When he was asked why he permitted the royalists to incite students in the universities and to issue proclamations demanding the return of the kaiser, he answered that Germany is a free country in which anybody may talk. Action looking to the restoration of the kaiser was what he said would call down the wrath of the government

Certainly there is no lack of confluence and no fear of the future betrayed in talk like that.

A few days ago we set out to rename the town of Rye, N. Y.„ to make it fit with prohibition. Three contribs, Dick Aaron, L. Moses and Jim Clark, have suggested Dry'e, N.» Y so we will let it go at that. U. S postoffice department, please notice.

So far as the war is concerned It seems to be all over but the shooting. Twenty-two nations are still at it.

As to prohibition, the first fifty years will be the worst.

Letters From the People

The Case of Ireland.

Editor of The Tribune:— Are we in this country ready to go to war again? That is what our connivance with German plotters means in the Irish agitation. Axe we prepared to raise eight or ten more liberty loans? Are we prepared to meet England in Canada and in Mexico and tJapan in the Philippines? That is just what we will have to do if we press this Irish issue to a finality. The senate "expresses sympathy" for

Ireland. Sympathy will not free Ireland. How much further is the senate prepared to go? Interference in Ireland means war with England. That's as certain as tomorrow's sun.

ROSCOMMON.

The Bathing Beach.

Editor of The Tribune:— It will take three or four thousand dollars to put the Eighth avenue bathing beach in a condition to make it a desirable place. The material could hardly be gotten on the ground before cool weather. Of course With the first hot day ther« is a clamor for a place to swim. Everybody wants it. Then with the first cool breeze, everybody as quickly forgets about it. Every surrounding there is repellant and discouraging. The city ought to reserve its money and energies In this enterprise and plan to give the people something next year that will be permanent and desirable. Where I come from, Saginaw, Mich., the city makes its bathing beach pay, but then it offers an attractive place and some service for the small fees collected.

Your Ice Box

Generally speaking, ice is bought to conserve the family food supply. Promptly the thrifty housewife sets about to find ways and means of coaxing that 50-pound cake of ice to stay in her refrigerator at least a day and a night Toward the end of the twen-ty-four hours it is fast fading away.

But is the food sweet and well preserved? That is the test of economy. Housewives frequently .cover the ice with paper or blankets to "make it last." True, it saves the ice, but have you thought th&t only by melting can Ice cool tha refrigerator and save the food? It is a question of which costs the more, food or ice.

A thermometer will soon tell you the coldest place in the refrigerator. Let the milk, cream and butter cluster around that spot, be it the upper shelf or the lowest corner, Arrange the other foods according to their requirements of a cool spot and not as to the handiest place to xeach them. Change the thermometer about until you know the cool, cooler, coolest spots In your particular Ice chest.

Physicians tell us the bacteria forms in a temperature above 50 degrees, therefore the milk for baby must be kept at a temperature from around 42 degrees to 47 degrees for safety.

Other foods spoil in refrigerators not properly ventilated. A simple test is this. Put a glass bottle in the refriger-

IMPROVING THE SERVICE!

It is as true of public utilities as of other forms of business that that institution which does not advance must go backward. There is no neutral ground.

In this Connection it probably will be of interest to many to see a comparison of the street car service rendered in Terre Haute during the month of June of this year and the service rendered during June of last year.

Of primary importance is the fact that during last month we operated regularly on the streets of Terre Haute forty street cars, while during the same month of 1918 we operated twenty-nine street cars.

It will possibly tell the story a little more definitely if we make the comparison in car miles, that is, the operation of a street car a mile in regular service.

During last month the number of car miles operated by the city str^fet can was 302,153, as against 155,509 in June of 1918,* This is an increase of twenty*. nine per cent.

Of the car miles last month 108,080 were with safety cars.

During the six months ended with June 30, this year, the number of ear miles operated by city .street cars was 1,171,887 as against 931,601 during the first six months of 1918. This is a gain of twenty-five per cent.

Of the car miles during the first six months of this ye&r 629,042 were with safety carsi.

We do not mean by this exposition of improved service that we have done all that we think it is necessary to do. We are, however, pretty well satisfied that we are moving in the right direction and that another twelve months will show a proportionate gain.

And at this time it is well to acknowledge that our faith in the profitableness of improved service has been fully justified through increased patronage on the part of the public. Terre Haute is growing and improving. It is our intention to cause the service of this company to grow as fast as the city does and to keep pace with every modern development.

ator. If a slime or 'dampness forms on the outBide of the bottle you should look to the ventilation of the refrigerator or to the ice supply.

A few testa with the thermometer and a careful estimate on the food and Ice often points the way to true, rather than fales, economy.

PINEAPPLE LEMONADE.

Pineapple lemonade is a change from the usual lemonade, and is •eliclous. To make it, boil 2 cups of water with a cup of sugar ten minutes then add the juice of 3 large lemons and fresh or canned pineapple grated. Let it stand till cool, Btraln and put into the refrigerator. When wanted add a quart of ice water.
