After my first child was bom about four years ago I saw an advertisement in tne paper about the Vegetable Compound.

From Cleveland, v. hieh Is In tho state or commonw ath of Ohio, comes a proposal whi h will probably rock the nation to Its base. That is, the proposal was made In Cleveland, but the maker was Dr. IdUu Hunt Peters, an authority In dietetics, resi dent In New York. Dr. Peters (would that convention allowed us to speak of her as Dr. Lou) would tax all fat persons. Had she her way, Daniel Lambert would pay a surtax and sweets would only be eaten with midnight stealth; nobody save the very rich would dare a second help ing of anything and out-sizes would be treasonable offenses. What are the rea ons given for this proposal by Dr. Peters? In the first place, she lays It down that fat persons are a liability to the country and should pay for the trouble they make. There Is much to commend In this, though constitutional law must first be regarded. The rights of fat persons (male and female) are secured by organic rules not lightly to be pet aside. But when a gentle man weighing three hundred pounds In the Par.wing the an nual procession of school children through the ,village. “Mary!” she yelled excitedly to her friend. “Come ’ere.” "What's the matter, I,ucy?" asked the other. “You see the photograph of Annie Smith on the third roe there?" "Yea," replied Mary. "An’ you see the pair o' boots behind Annie?" Yea.” "Well, that's me.” RELIGION AND WAR Norman Hapgood. Will religion ever be any more effective against war than it was in 1914? If it is to play any con siderable role in future history, /t must have something to do with progress. There are before the race two large problems, to solv ing which it should be able to contribute. But will it? One is the new form of the oWl story of the ordinary worker and the strong ruler. In our day it is the problem of the relation between money and the laborer. The other problem is war, which with modern invention threatens to make progress impossible. sits on you inadvertently, Runny mede is apt to be forgotten. Getting down to dots. Dr. Peters avers that fat persons take up more room than the law allows in trolley cars, but she forgets that apparently the law allows no room in trolley cars, which is a fatal defect in her thesis. Besides, whom does she mean by “persons?” This term is at once ambiguous and sinister, for we are assured by competent authority that when one lady calls another lady a "person” there is rough stuff abroad. Let us seek the ways of peace and opine that she means men dowered with obesity. TODAY BY ARTHUR BRISBANE Yesterday, in southern California, was the. finest day you ever saw, or Imagined, in California, or anywhere. The long Santa Fe train, bringing “more converts” rolled noiselessly down the grade, from the high plat eau on the west, in‘o such beauty of sunshine, warmth and flowers, as made the whole thing seem unreal. What was the most interesting, pleasing thing you saw, in wonder ful California, on the day of ar rival? It was not the golden orange groves, or the pleasant square miles of grape vines, pruned and ready for next summer's production. It was not the mighty Pacific, in which you could drown, bury and lose the United States, with only one big wave to tell the story. And it was not the high range of mountains, with their snowy heads, looking down, so near, reminding the traveller that in some parts of the world, it really is cold winter. The moat pleasing sight in Cali fornia was a young couple on the station platform at San Bernardino, the sunny ante room to 1’asadena and Los Angeles. The young man, tall and nervous, was on the platform of his Vull man car, 20 minutes before the sta tion came in sight. No one ever left a burning house more eagerly than he left that train. The young woman, waiting, was dressed In her best, pink silk stock ings, new' dress und hat, and such a smile of welcome, for that fortunate young traveller. Her first words, before he reached her, were: ‘‘I knew you couldn’t wait to see her, so I brought her down.” And sure enough, “her” was there. In her mother's arms, a little baby, about 6 weeks old, with a fine sun bonnet, scalloped around the edges, white kid shoes, a Xgncy dress and a far away look. Here, where the sky says, all year round, "come and forget your ♦ roubles,” or In the coldest north, there Is happiness, warmth and eter nal sunshine, wherever there is true devotion. Come to California If you can, and see a part of Eden that escaped fatal An Object Lesson. From the Edinburgh Scotsman. A clergyman was having tea with some new iiartshloners. On the side board were some cut glass decanters filled with what looked like whisky and various other spirits. ' My friend,” said the-curate to his host, "you should .avoid even the ap pearance of evil. I do not say that you drink, but—” "Why, they're only filled with furni ture polish, Mr. Mxrsh, and floor slain. It's the decanters that X like—they look so pretty.” "Exactly," said the curate. “I repeat, avoid even the appearance of evil, i took a drink from the big one in the SiiddX*.” curse. But thank the Lord that. In spite of the serpent, the apple and the fall, there is real Heaven . here below, wherever you find the blessed earth ly Trinity, a perfectly united mother, child and father. That Heaven was in the young mother's face, when the father said, "I think she smiled.” There is beautiful sunshine in Cali fornia, but it is not as beautiful as the light in that young mother’s face, as she looked up from the face of her child, to the child’s father. That is the sunshine that makes life worth while for human beings every where, if they are worth while. California is Interested in the earthquake “back east” that shook New York, reaching up and down the Atlantic coast, and as far east as Michigan. This time the slip of the earth’s crust is in the Atlantic in stead of the Pacific. Despite constant eastern exaggera tion of western earthquakes, native sons out here do not laugh, when they meet. They Just say "too bad,” and look as serious as they possibly can. The death of President Ebert will establish more firmly the German re public. Germans know now that an earnest intelligent workman, with his fellow' workers back of him can manage the nation. They know that a sabre waving all highest, in partnership with God, is not necessary to national business. Thanks to Ebert, to the highly in telligent and scientifically trained German specialists, and the mil lions of German workers, educated for 40 years, in the Boclal democratic party, the Germans have the power of self-government. Their administration has stood firm, eve*- since the wrar, under most horribly tiying conditions. That is the greatest possible tribute to the eelf governing power of the Gor mans. And Ebert will be honored in history, as the loyal servant of Ger man democracy. Be among the first to get one of the monoplanes that will “fly 140 miles an hour, and carry a useful load of 2,000 pounds." Such a machine, once he knows how' to run It. should enable a young man, of the right kind, to earn $100 a day. And that sum, $600 a week, would be a "useful load" to carry home, each Saturday. Secretary Weeks tells the con gressional committee that he holds no grudge against Brigadier General Mitchell, for telling the truth and that he has no thought of discip lining General Mitchell. That Is welcome. The people would like to think that the truth Is not kept from them by official threats. Automobile Lawlessness. From the Manchester Union. One of our New Hampshire town# wanted to discharge Its policeman because nn automobile guidebook blacklisted the town. Why? For ab solutely no other reason whatever than that the policeman enforced tha parking rules, let no one. multi-mil lionaire of the local summer colony or the poorest owner of a broken down flivver, stay at the curb longer than the legal time. Visitors In th# country are sore not because they are subject to undue discrimination In the matter of enforcement of traffic laws, but because they are not permitted to break them as their sweet will runs. And there Is a dis position In the country towns to let them do It In order that they may not pass the word, as Is constantly dona, to "cut out" that town and so causa business to suffer. Not His Fault. From Forbes Magalne. "Wliat does this mean, sir?" said the boss to his clerk, coining in 30 minutes late. "It was on account of the awful fog." explained the culprit. "Fog! Fog!" said the boss, testily. “What has the fog to do wlthlt? \oU do not live across the bay." "No. sir, I know I don't, but you do, and 1 thought you'd be late."

Then suddenly: “Blow It, be** dead." Rooster Could Count A class In experimental psychology at the University of Chicago has found that n rooster can count. Ker nels of corn were arranged in rows on the floor, every third kernel being tacked down. Tl»e rooster discovered this and passed np the stationary kernels. Then the third kernels were loosened and the rooster was set at his task. He skipped them until his foot struck one, when, with a chuckle, he returned and ate all the kernels.
