The Joy of Forgetfulncss An old gentleman was discovered recently in Kansas who has lived on this planet 115 years. The press report states, after a brief story of his career that Mr. So-and-so "enjoys a hale and hearty health and a remarkable memory." This antiquary is to be congratulated on his health, surely, but as to whether or no he is to be felicitated on having a "remarkable memory" is a question. It is possible to have too good a memory. In fact, it may be supposed few of us ever appreciate the function of forgetfulness in human experience. .Were we not able to forget we would not be able to live. If it were not that our brain is so constructed that it has the power to bury the past, we should find our days grow miserable and our nights infernal. Medical history records a few cases in which men were stricken with a perfect memory and 1 hey have testified that their gift was a curse to their lives. Such a person is a slave of his memory. Everything, large or small, important or negligible, good or bad, occupies an equal space

in the mind. He finds it impossible to outgrow, the follies and griefs of the past and all the falla-j cies and errors into which he once 'fell live to haunt his steps. He finds himself unable to "forget the things that are behind that he might press on towards the goal" of the future. He can get nothing new out of books. So vivid is his recollection that every word and sentence of books and papers once read rise up alongside similar utterances on the pages which he .now reads. Everything has become old to him and the most sparkling paragraph as re-thrashed straw. He finds that he has no perspective and no sense of proportion. He can't see things in their right place or give them their right weight ; the ilimsiest argument, the silliest words that have fallen on his ears remain to plague him and to occupy the center of his attention so that new words and new arguments find it difficult to obtain a foothold. Such an unfortunate person must also be the victim of his dreams. A normal man feels that his dream is real while it lasts, but an hour of daylight chases it out of his mind forever: not so with the slave of memory. His dreams remain as real in after years as in the night of their occurring and he finds it almost impossible to distinguish between his visions and his exper

iences in the waking world. Worse than that, he can never escape from pain. Let him suffer once and the anguish will return whenever chance happens to recall the memory to mind. As vines and moss grow up to soften torn and jagged roots of a tree blown down by a storm, so does forgetfulness in the mind of a normal person, swath round the cruel edges of pain. But the man who cannot forget has no such relief from his sorrow.

and vegetables. Mr. Brand, of the Bureau of j Markets,' attacked this problem some time ago j and now has on hand sixty or more types of egg contain jjs, any one of which would be satisfactory, he claims, and a number of butter containers which also seem to fill the bill. These are substantial enough to stand a great many knocks and can be used more than once but are so inexpensive as to bp feasible for one use. All this sounds very inviting to the hard working city man who dislikes to see his dollars go in such quantities for the mere means of animal existence and every consumer will welcome any step toward the high cost of living. The scheme appears on the face to be practicable and economical. But, in spite of these attractive features, it gives cause to a thoughtful and serious mind to question the desirability of such a method. Does this not appear to be simply one more step in our march toward State socialism? We have been taking many steps in that direction recently. The President wants the Government to build a railroad in Alaska. Secretary Lane wants to buy up Radium lands. A congressional solon advocates federal purchase of oil fields. The present Congress is working out a plan whereby the federal authorities will manage the financing of railroads. A Republican Representative in Congress is advocating that the United States build or purchase a transcontinental railroad in order to furnish a standard for service, wages and freight rates. And now along comes these other members of federal bureaus advocating that the Government take over the functions of the commission merchant and, to a large extent, of the grocer. There seems to be a general movement on loot across the land to Prussianize the United States and to bring as much of our industry under the roof of federal control as possible. Per

haps the time has come for us to pause and to

consider what this means. Surely it is obvious that there is a limit to State control and State ownership. There are some things which a Government should and must own and manage. Of these the Army, the Navy and the Postoffice are familiar examples. But just because it must manage these things, it is necessary that it be not over-burdened and crippled by too much responsibility in order that it may handle these necessary federal affairs with the utmost efficiency.

The Effects of Opiates. THAT INFANTS are peculiarly susceptible to opium and its various preparations, all of which are narcotic, is well known. Even in the smallest doses, if continued, these opiates cause changes in the functions and growth of the cells which are likely to become permanent, causiag imbecility, mental perversion, a oraving for alcohol or narcotics in later life. Nervous diseases. Buch as intractable nervous dyspepsia and lack of staying powers are a result of dosing with opiates or narcotic to keep children quiet in their infancy. The rule among physicians is that children should nevr receive opiates in the smallest doses for more than a day at a time, and only then if unavoidable. The administration of Anodynes, Drops, Cordials, Soothing 8yrupa and other narcotics to children by any but a physician cannot be too strongly decried, and the druggist should not be party to it. Children who are ill need the attention of a physician, and it is nothing leas than a crime to dose them willfully with narcotics. Castoria contains no narcotics if it bears the -signature of Chaa.

DON'T NURSE A COLDKILL IT!

Toward State Socialism The Department of Agriculture and the Postoffice Department are hurrying to the relief of a" people bitten by the high cost of living. The experts in charge of a number of bureaus connected with the Departments have persuaded their own minds that a large share of the increased price of necessities is attributable to a surplus of middle-men. As they see it, a long string of unnecessary dealers stand between the producers and the consumer and exact a toll for

passing on the commodity. It occurred to certain authorities in the Postoffice Department that an amplification and extension of the Parcel Post system might put this line of needless functionaries out of existence. Therefore, they are working out a plan whereby the Parcel Post may be used as the one sole intermediary between the producer in the country and the consumer in the town. According to their present scheme, they plan to have the Bureau of Markets make up a list of fill farmers, gardeners, poultry men, etc., and to distribute through the Postoffice printed bulletins giving to the city residents such information as is necessary. They believe that when the house-wife in town knows what she can buy, at what price, and from whom, she can order her goods by telephone today to be delivered by Parcel Post tomorrow.

In order to make this plan work smoothly, it will be necessary to teach the farmer how to grade and standardize his products. Some families want firsts, others seconds; others can afford nothing better than thirds. If the producer therefore, knows not how to classify his wares accordingly, he cannot satisfy his trade. To teach him how to do this, a campaign of education has been planned. It is expected that such bulletins, pamphlets and booklets as are necessary may be franked through the mail and thus gotten to the producer without expense. One of the difficulties in the way of any such plan heretofore has been the lack of suitable containers for perishable goods, such as butter, eggs

Warm Winters Once more we are enjoying (?) a green winter. "Why, it's just like Spring," folks are exclaiming and trying to become accustomed to summer weather in the middle of January. "And what is the cause of it," they are asking about the streets, just as we recently inquired of an authority on meteorology. This weather prophet replied nonchalantly, saying, "O, there is no particular cause for it. This is normal weather. We have recesses like this in almost every winter." In all probability this is quite true, but it is interesting to speculate on a theory not long since advanced by the famous Scandinavian astronomer Arrhenius. According to this man

of encyclopaedic mind, we can expect in the future to see the winters grow more moderate and

the summers hotter. He holds that because we are burning so much coal a great amount of carbonic acid gas is being thrown off into the atmosphere. This dioxide serves in some manner to hold the heat and to concentrate the rays of the sun, very much as does the glass, over a greenhouse. After we have burned a few million tons more of coal, he declares we may expect to see Greenland- become as green as its name implies ; to see rose gardens in Iceland and wheat fields ripening where the foot of Dr. Cook has never trod. Some converts to this theory aver that already we are beginning to experience a moderation of winter weather as a result of this carbonic acid gas envelope with which we are covering ourselves. But it would seem that we have been burning coal during too short a period to make so much difference. There are men now living who recall when the use of coal to any extent was first begun. It may be true that, after we have

burned a sufficient amount and thrown off into

the air a sufficient quantity of the gas, we may expect the green winter to be a normal thing. But according to the forecasts recently issued by the Weather Department, we would not advise our readers to sell their heating stoves just yet. They will probably need them a while longer.
