The TSuberculosis Toll That the United States faced a greater loss from an invisible enemy than she did from her war activities oveiseas is shown in an announcement, just issued Toy the National Tuberculosis Association headquarters, following a country wide health survcfy. Total American deaths in the World war amounted to 67,88 g soldiers, sailors and marines. Figures just tabiflated at headquarters of the National Tuberculosis Association show that for the period in whicto this country was engaged in war approximately 200,000 persons died from tuberculosis. "Much of the numerous death toll in this country could be prevented," said Dr. Victor CVaughan, president of the National Tuberculosis Association, who ivill sponsor the Red Cross Christmas seal safle. "Our data received from health experts throughout the United States show more than a; million persons are suffering from the white plague today. "War bulks laijge and takes possession of the stage. It is spectacular and therefore attracts.

to learn if they are living beyond their means or to find out if a re-adjustment of expenses would not be advisable.

Reduced to an absurdity, their form of reasoning is his : If your wife wants a $50 dress, and your wages do not permit an indulgence in this luxury, demand more pay so that she can have what she wants. j It is this wrong reasoning which hajs contrib- j uted to the industrial unrest of the day. Almost every one believes he is entitled to obtain what his heart desires, irrespective of his income, j Men and women seek gratification of desires far j beyond the possibility of attainment, and become

disgruntled and dissatisfied because their dream j

does not come true. Others, carried away by an unprecedented increase of wages, did not augment their savings in proportion to the greater income, even after the increase in the cost of living had been, taken into consideration. Or in other words, they spent more for luxuries and non-essentials and saved less than they did before wage increases set in. To such persons a decrease in the wage scale, or even its failure to keep on advancing as it has in the last' two years, seems to be an outrage. An investigation of their forms of expenses might teach them where they erred and how "they could have saved to greater advantage when they had the opportunity. It seems that too many persons have become obsessed of the idea that extravagances and luxuries are real necessities, and that our economic system ought to permit them to indulge in ail kinds of frivolities and at the same time enable them to save large sums of money. The real road to financial independence in all epochs of the

Condensed Classics of Famous Authors

THACKERAY William Makepeace Thackeray wai Intensely loved by his friends and as much disliked by his enemies. Such personalities as TennysiFn, FltzGerald and Charlotte Bronte were unswerving- in their devotion, but the hangers-on in Orub street, the lesser fry who envied his social successes, regarded him as an insufferable snob. He did Indeed take a quite childlike delight in dining- with the socially eminent. He frankly liked to be pointed out as "the great Mr. Thackeray," and as frankly he resented the

gross familiarity of Tom, Dick and Harry who chanced to have knowjj him in Bohemia. But it was rather that he pitilessly discerned and detested the toady and the mean-spirited flunkey than that he was a snob. Thackeray lived at the period when wealth without manneis or intellect generated widespread desire for social success. At the' same time "The Back Kitchen" and "The Cave of Harmony," immortalized by Colonel Newcome, were the most eagerly frequented haunts of the day. Thackeray knew every aspect of this rather vulgar society. He was as much at ease with the Prime Minister of England as with the proprietor of the "Back Kitchen." With his keen satiric sense and sharp wit, the chronicler of snobs flayed it: with his tender heart and kindly humor the grreat novelist understood it. In his own way he strove to regenerate it. These qualities of heart and mind, which live in his books, created th-i puzzle of his personality: lie was a Cynic!

Salaries for Educators There is cold comfort for the men and women who strive to improve the mental state of the race. Teachers and professors are deserting their calling in increasingly large numbers so fast, indeed, that the state superintendent of education, in an address here described the condition in Indiana as critical. The salaries paid to teachers, who have given years of their life to prepare for their calling and

incidentally spent thousands of dollars acquiring

an education, is pitifully small in comparison with that paid to men and women in other callings where years of costly preparation are unnecessary.

Who can blame the teacher for deserting the schoolroom to seek a livelihood in business and other more profitable callings? Who can blame him for seeking an income sufficient to meet the most necessary expenses? A radical change in our attitude toward the salaries paid to teachers must come if the best men and women are to be saved for the profession. The backbone of our nation is its school system. If we allow it to deteriorate by the withdrawal of its most capable leaders, the nation will pay the penalty.

HENRY ESMOND BY WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY Condensation by Mrs. Annie D. Hubbard, Littleton, Mass.

In the days when the Stuart was playing his losing game for England's crown, a sallow-faced, precocious boy was growing xip, half-loved, half-neglected, in Castlewood House, knowing all the secrets of its hidden chambers, where cavalier and priest could hide for a lifetime. Harry was reputed tho illegitimate son of Thomas Esmond, Lord Castlewood, whose childless wife, herself an Esmond, had been a beauty and king's favorite once. After Viscount Castlewood had died, fighting for King James at Eoyne Water, and King William's men had taken his lady prisoner, hiding in her bed, painted and powdered, resplendant in her brocade gown and gold-clocked red stockings by her side the japan box holding the papers of the Roaylists another kinsman, Francis Esmond, had taken possession of the old house. "O dea certe," little Harry Esmond said in his heart, when Rachel, the new Lady Castlewood, in her lovely girlhood, met him in the yellow gal

lery, and there stirred in him the beginnings of a lifetime devotion to her. to her beautiful children, Beatrice and Frank, and to his jovial new patron, Francis, Lord Castlewood. As a loved

kinsman now, Harry had grown to manhood, when suddenly the smallpox, ravaging the neighborhood, destroyed for a time Lady Castlewood's beauty, and her gay husband's heart turned to lesser loves, though he still cared enough to be wildly jealous, when Lord Mohun, a London blood, made love to her. The two men fought and Francis, foully murdered by Mohun, on his death-bed made a written statement that he had long known from the priest who heard Thomas.

Lord Castlewood's, dying confession that Harry Esmond had a right to tho, name he bore, and was head of tho house of Castlewood. This paper, stained with the blood of his dear master, Harry burned, and vowed thanking Heaven that he had been enabled to make the righteous decision that his mistress should never know sorrow through him, and that little Frank should become Lord Castlewood in his father's stead.

marquises and lords were coming, eager for her, Esmond bore the torments of a hopeless passion, and his dear mistress suffered with him. At last a suiter worthy of the prize appeared the Duke of Hamilton much Beatrix's senior, wealthy, and second to none in the kingdom. Esmond had to accept his fact. The wedding gift he made her was the splendid string of diamonds his father's widow r.ad given him. As she accepted it with a cry of delight, her bride-groom-elect, with a darkening face, told her he did not choose the Duchess of Hamilotn should a'ept presents from gentlemen who had no right to the names they bore-. Her mother, to whom the old dowager on her death-bed had maliciously told Harry's story, answered for Ler:

"Henry Esmond is his father's lawful j son and true heir. We are the recipients of his bounty, and he is the head of a house as old as your Grace's own." And Beatrix, from whom it had

all been kept a secret, whispered to him, -Why did not I know you before!" On the eve of marriage the duke died in a duel. Beatrix mourned bim honestly, but Esmond dared hope for himself, and planned a bold move to win her love. All the Esmonds were heart and soul for the Stuart cause. Frank, the young viscount, who was fighting abroad, closely resembled the exiled chevalier. The two came together to Lady Castlewood's London house, the prince impersonating the viscount, and Frank, his valet, and were received with great joy. Stuart partisans came to the house by stealth and the plot spread like leven. The maid of honor contrived an interview

between the prince and Queen Anne,

his sister, whose health was failing, and all hoped that she would proclaim him her successor. Then Beatrix's friends began to fear for her, as the prince, who had no respect for women was infatuated with her and she listened to him. Against her will they sent her to Castlewood. Suddenly the Queen was reported dying, and the prince could not be found. Beatrix had found means to tell him of her

a truce of reason, as one ijnay call it, since the president s argument for a decent d! play of patience, sobriety and c.if.r0trntnt is absolutelc irrefutable.

k5' v w - - - W The president urges that agitation for increased wages be postponed so fa as possible "until normal conditions come again and wi have the opportunity of certain calculation as to the illation between wages and the cost of liVlng." There is: eminent fairness in this proposal. For, as tho president argues, the government v.ould be guilty of "inexcusable inconsistency" if, on the one hand it approved gential increases of wage3 on the assumption that the present prices of necessary commodities are permanent, wfc ile on the other hand it conducted an energetic campaign against the hoarding of foodstuffs and other essentits 1 articles and the charging of extortionate prices in the I confident expectation of reducing living costs. If the present situation fcs temporary, then manifestly, permanent wage advances eft neither desirable nor just. Moreover, as the president further says, "demands tinvisely made and passionate v insisted upon at iUs time menace the peace and prospe t ity of the country as nothing

el.o could, and thus contribute to bring about me very result which such demands cl-e intended to remedy." It is the duty of eveiy intelligent citizen to combat unjust prices, tP Provide no Justification or them by marking

up labor costs in a vain effort to overtop the greed oil hoarders and profiteers. Mr. Wilson's appeal is addressed to 5II and applies o every industrial dispute over wages and hours except those based upon impossible conditions by reason cf which special groups of wage earners cannet maintain 1 decent standard of living. In the case of the railroad c-hopruen or ether rai'rond employes the reasons why a truce should be declared are even stronger than in a controversy between a private corporation and its employefs. The railro'ads are being operated at a heavy loss to the government, deficits being met out of public taxes. Another material increase in freight rates is rightly held by the president to be inadvisable and inexpedient, because it is impossible at present to estimate the earning capacity of the carriers under normal peace conditions. The president and the railroad administration would be faithless servants of the people if they were to place additional burdens on the generality of taxpayers in order to grant wage demands that admittedly arise out of a temporary situation. All the people should see the reasonableness of the president's position. Certain readjustments and advances are proffered to the shopmen, and with these they should be content for the period of the truce. Not only they, but all of us, should heartily and effectively respond to the president's plea for increased production, economy and thrift. Only by bard work, efficiency and economy can we hope "for large decreases in the burdensome cost of living which now weighs ua down." The call for a truce in industrial warfare and in unsettling agitation for higher pay and shorter hours when critical conditions require united effort in order that disaster may be averted is an appeal to American common sense, practical idealism and love of fair play.

His father had deserted her, married her secretly, and again deserted her, and she had taken her broken heart to that convent.

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK

ON QOHNQ TO SLEEP TONIQHX . The last of every worth-while thing is always the most precious. It should be that way with the last moments of every day. On going to sleep tonight, you should feel that you have not lived in vain. You should be able to count up things that the world would be poor without had yen not contributed them. You should go to your sleeping place with a sense of satisfaction in your heart. Every day has its little irritations and problems. Every player in life's game gets "bunkered" every once in a while. But on going to sleep, let us fcrget what couldn't be helped. Let us, rather, think and ponder over the things that have added to our happiness and made us better men and women. Let us always hope for pleasant dreams! Life is the sum of your days, but your character is Its total footing. So as the business man counts over and notes his daily gains or losses, let us as we go to s'.eep tonight review and retrospect upon the things that made our day. How thoughtful were you? Did you do your best? On going to sleep tonight, give quite a deal of thinking to the interests of the other fellow. Maybe there' were things "unthinking said." Maybe you had a chance to help and did not. , How about it? At nighttime the shadows keep lengthenihg into the dark. Many times a gorgeous sunset creeps in. The King of Silence then takes regin! On going to sleep tonight, put aside all regrets. Pray to the God of beauty aqd of Right, who is the God of us all, and ask Him to take you peacefully into that lostness of sleep from which you may rise, strengthened and renewed, to continue toward better days and better nights. Always smile to the world before TOur-rGood Night! .
