War and the U.S. With our nation confronted by an actual condition of world wide war involving- the greatest nations of Europe it is now neither indelicate nor inhuman to point out the advantages the United States may expect to gain from the unfortunate predicament of its fellow powers. In the first place the security of our present and future conditions is based on our good fortune in being out of the war zone and the extreme improbability of our being drawn into the turmoil in any way. The outbreak of hostilities between the European nations comes at a time when the crops of all the nations involved are but half grown. The harvest that was to have been will never come. It will be lost, due to the withdrawal of the farmers and their laborers to fill the ranks of the warring armies, or ground to dust under the feet of the marching, battling hosts. Europe then will demand more of our farm products this year and next and at much more profitable prices than ever before in the history of our nation. The nations sharing in this distribution of our surplus farm products will naturally depend upon which group of warring powers controls the sea through preponderance of naval power. The factories of Europe practically will not turn a wheel until the war is over. All the men most necessary to factory operation will soon have been drawn into the armies that are staging

this greatest of conflicts. Consequently, and again with deference to whichever, group of the powers maintains mastery of the sea and its communications, the factories of the United States will be called upon in an unprecedented degree to supply the machinery needs of the world. In other words a period of great prosperity lies ahead of the people of the United States. It will not come all at once First, there will be the period of readjustment due to the startling suddenness with which this European war has burst upon the world. Bringing almost over night the temporary abandonment of trans Atlantic traffic due to the uncertainty as to which group of the powers will emerge masters of the sea, this war, as anyone can readily see, has placed us as quickly in a position necessitating an immediate radical readjustment of our over seas traffic". ! : WV 4, Fortunately, this crisis is rapidly being handled by our leading business men and statesmen. By the closest kind of co-operation President Wilson, congress and the leaders of the natkras's business are rapidly evolving plans whereby practically all of the foreign ships that have sought refuge in our harbors and, as such, must remain

there unprofitably until the end of the war, may be taken over by American companies and admitted to American registry. This will mean an unprecedented and very gainful addition to our national merchant marine. Besides this the president and Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo are throwing the full force of the financial power of the United States government behind the great financial and banking interests of New York and other great business centers. This will absolutely safeguard the people against any financial breakdown due to the severe strain resulting from the suddenness with which the European war appeared. The quickness with which the government and the business and financial interests of the nation have gotten to work justifies the assurance that the period of readjustment we are now undergoing will be of very short duration, and that the business of the nation will soon be on an unusually prosperous plane.

Editor: Perhaps In your excellent paper you may find space to print the enclosed editorial of the New York Sun of July 81, either wholly or In part The second part of the article seems to be especially pertinent as regards the schools of Richmond, when one remembers the many cases of Infectious diseases occuring In the schools each year. Early recognition of and added care about quarantine would undoubtedly prevent many cases. The Richmond schools are so exceptional in other respects that I feel sure only a little general education amongst parents of pupils would accomplish much benefit and aid In preventing much disease and resulting discomfort to the. whole city. . Thanking you for your courtesy,' -w.:i 6. B. C. The editorial follows: ' - The Ounce of Prevention. "The announcement that t prepara

tions for increasing the efficiency of

the Bureau of Child Hygiene of this city are under way Is gratifying to

those who realize the enormous importance of this work in the prevent

ion of disease and disability wmcn

may handicap the individual through

out life If not remedied In childhood, To expend money lavishly for the edu

cation of half a million children and permit one-half of them to go through ife with ailments or physical defects that must diminish their efficiency in

the social fabric is equivalent to neglecting the foundation of a structure while planning and striving for its perfection and durability. "The expenditure of money for the discovery and remedying of physical and mental defects among our school children by thorough Inspection and after treatment presents a most economical phase of municipal administration. In the first place the removal of defects In nearly one-half of our school children must add materially to their efficiency in after life as contributors to the general welfare and communal prosperity. "Secondly, an effective school Inspection results in the early recognition of Infectious diseases and thus prevents their diffusion, saving cost of Blckness and funerals and conserving these valuable lives to become precious economic factors. From the altruistic, standpoint the addition of the

! inspectors and nurses to be provided

in the next budget is Imperative, lor It involves the happiness and comfort of 230,000 children, according to last year's record. From the taxpayer's viewpoint the Board of Estimate should be commended if it grants the appropriation asked for, because it would provide the "stitch in time" which is the highest economy in the long run. The record shows that last year only one-fourth of the 230,000 children in whom defects of more or less severity were discovered by the inspectors were remedied, and that of the others one-half were financially unable or negligently unwilling to accept advice. To obviate this difficulty nurses are an important factor, since they follow up the cases, and under the skilful and tactful direction of Dr.

EDoctor Speaks ut

to Coffee Drinkers The Boston Advertiser of June 15, 1914, quotes Dr. D. H. Kress, of Chicago, in an address as saying that tea, coffee and cocoa cause more deaths than alcohol. "These table beverages are sapping the life of our nation. They are making us a race of weakkidneyed, weak-livered beings, unable to reproduce ourselves. The kidneys and liver do not perform their proper functions, and the waste matter left in the system tends to bring on arteriosclerosis. "Statistics show conclusively that as the consumption of coffee, tea and cocoa have increased, the number of nervous diseases and insanity have increased proportionately." i. This strong statement from a medical authority, cannot be lightly disregarded. It is easy to prove in one's own case whether coffee is the cause of frequent "spells" of nervousness, indigestion, biliousness, liver complaint, headache, heart disturbance and other ills. " Quit coffee 10 days,. and in its place use '

then note the difference. Made from prime wheat and a bit of molasses, Postum is a pure food-drink, entirely free from the pernicious drugs in tea and coffee, or any other harmful substance. In thousands of homes Postum supplies a table beverage, pleasant to the taste, and to be used freely as a rebuilder, where coffee and tea tear down. Postum comes in two forms: Regular Postum, must be boiled, 15c and 25c s pkgs. Instant Postum, a soluble form, made in the cup instantly, 30c and 50c tins. Grocers everywhere sell both kinds and the cost per cup is about the same. "There's a Reason" for Postum

Josephine Baker accomplish the most Improbable results In teaching the parents conservation of health and promotion of comfort in the family circle. That social unrest and discontent

may be neutralized by these visita

tions to the toiler's innermost family circle, as we have recently pointed

out with regard to the Society of Friendly Visitors, is not the least of

the beneficent results to be anticipat

ed from sustaining the activities of

the Bureau of Child Hygiene."
