They guzzle patent medicines with tho enthusiasm and reckless gullibility of children turned looao In tho pink lemonade section of a circus. t)r. Held Hunt recently gavo a free public lecture at tho Harvard Medical School. Ho pointed out that tho absence of tho slightest curative power In many of the patent medi cines commonly sold was hot of so great Im portance as tho prcsctico In them of dele torlous substances. Analysis of ono "remedy" showed It to contain wood Instead of grain nlcohol, "and still another, containing coal tar, caused 1300 deaths and 13,000 Injuiles and diseases." Purity In a diug docs not mean that It is Harmless, l'uro carDono ncld, for instance, can kill a little bit quicker than impuro carbolic acid. Men who peddle death for a price, after having smeared It over with lies, deserve tho penitentiary Instead of limousines nnd pal aces. But somehow or other they find pub lications tq shnro with them their dripping profits, and their lawyers have been able to read most of tho protection for tho public out of tho statutes. No patent medicine of any sort should bo licensed for salo unless it car ries with It a warranty by tho United States Publlo Health Servlco that it will do what it is advertised to do. As such a warranty could nover bo got, It follows that tho salo of patent medicines should be outlawed en tirely. The President at Indianapolis THH noteworthy thing In President Wil son's Indianapolis speech was not Its de fense of tho Democracy nnd Its policies, nor its exhibition of him as tho masterful nnd controlling mind In Its councils, but the pica to tho Independent voter, Bometimcs called a progressive, to Join forces with tho De mocracy. This was tho firing of tho first gun for tho campaign of 1910, and It revealed tho processes of the President's mind. Ho knows as welt as any ono else that If ho enrcs for rcnomlnatlon ho can havo it on a gold plat ter with none to say him nay. Ho dominates his party by tho forco of his superior Intel lect nnd tho driving power of his determined will. Ho can havo from it whatever ho wishes. But he has been studying election returns, and ho has discovered that thero is a largo body of voters who aro not closely bound to any party, and ho knows that without their support a Democratic presi dential nomination would bo worthless to him or to any ono else. Moro of this sort of appeal to tho Independent voters may bo expected as tho months go by, but no ono can make it more subtly than this one-tlmo professor of politics, who has grown so great that oven on Jackson Day ho overshadows the sturdy Democrat In whoso honor tho anniversary was observed. "My Kind or None" ANEW Blockley Is not so Important to Councils as the architect's fees that go with It. It must bo a Philip H. Johnson hospital or no hospital at all. . Somo experts who have studied tho situation aro Inclined to believe that "no hospital" would bo worth almost as much to tho city as the othcrkind; but that is a matter of opinion and not tho issue. Tho clever device of chaining lucrative Jobs to Organization favorites by giving them perpetual contracts is harp practice of tho kind tho courts do not like. They aro Inclined to smell a rat in all agreements of that sort, and to dcclaro them null and void. That is whero the Johnson contract ought to be in court, on its merits and" demerits. Tho people, It is true, havo voted a million for a now Blockley; but overruling tho popu lar will is ono of tho easiest things Councils docs. It even overrules J;he statutes of tho State, If Mr. Charles Seger and somo of his friends do not like them. Men who think that people who live In tenements ought not to havo bathtubs, on tho ground that they aro 'not used to cleanliness, cannot be ex pected to care very much what conveniences the sick are afforded. ( Stand and Deliver THE farmers of the United States who raise grain cannot get any profit out of tho great price they are willing to pay for it on tho other side of the sea, "because tho. whole profit Is eaten up by tho extortionate charges for ocean carriage," says the Presi dent. Ho proposes, therefore, that the United States buy Bhlps to enable these farmers to get full profit out of. tho great price Europe Is willing to pay. And as the price In Europe rises cent by cent, cent by cent It rises In tho United States. Tho Presi dent's plan might very properly be described as a schema "to Increase tho cost of bread in the United States for tho greater profit of a few farmers nnd many speculators and for the punishment of those who havo to buy what they eat." More police or more tabernacle. No more wooden cars for New York sub ways. Steal and more steel. The English Government has ordered half U million razors In this country probably for the use of its African troops. There is one way to assure noninterfer ence with the Dacla by England. Make Mr, Roosevelt her captain. High ocean freight rates aro due to tho war, of course, and also to the decision of owners to get all that the traffic will stand. Selling municipal bonds by popular sub scription is one of the easiest things the Blankenburg Administration does. There are always plenty of buyers, but never plenty of bonds.

W3H&mM: NATURE IS ON THE SIDE OF THE WORKER '! Ii lull i I ' ' i Lire n Tissue of Habits tho Royal Bond to Achievement If Wo Tako Cnro df Our Habits Success Will Takd Care of Itself. By JOSEPH H.ODELL "r0V an act reap a habit! sow a habit kjreap a character" in this senso man Is his own creator. Wo atart life with Very little, probably with not moro than n wilt nnd a capacity. Tho first conscious acts of llfo aro ttio formation of habits; chlldjon do things becauso they Ilkd to do them or be cause they aro compelled to do them. They do not know nt tho time that they are build ing tip tho self they must carry nil through llfo. "Ijlfe," says Amlel, "Is but a tlssuo of habits." Tho Into Professor James, of Harvard, slated this fact very clearly In his book on psychology! "Wo aro spinning our own fates, good or evil, nnd never to be undone. Every smallest stroko of vlrltio or of vlco leaves Its scar. Tho drunken Itlp Van Wln klo In Jefferson's play excuses himself for every fresh dereliction by saying, 'I won't count this timet' Well, ho may not count It and a kind heaven may not count it, but It Is being counted none tho less. Down among his nerve cells nnd fibres tho molecules nro counting it, registering nnd dtorlng It up, to bo used against him when the next tempta tion cqmes. Nothing wo ever do Is, In strict lltcralness, wiped out. Of course, this has its good sldo as well as its bad ono. A-j wo bocomo permanent drunkards by so many separate drinks, so wc becomo saints In tho moral, nnd authorities and experts in tho practical nnd scientific spheres, by so many separate acts and hours of work. Somo Fine Morning "Let no youth havo any anxiety about tho upshot of his education, whatever tho lino of It may bo. If ho keeps faithfully busy each hour of tho working day, he may safely leave tho final result to Itself. Ho can cer tainly count upon waking up some lino morn ing to find himself one of tho competent ones of his generation, in whatsoever pursuit ho may havo singled out." It Is a feature of human naturo to wish to do twico what has been dono onco with somo degreo of bucccss. This tendency Is what makes habit-forming so easy. Seeing that the second attempt Is usually less difficult than the first, wc understand how powerful becomes tho liability to constant repetition, until tho liability posies into automatic cer tainty. In this way movements of tho mind or body becomo instinctive and aro per formed without any conscious effort. A habit has been likened to a physical groove In tho brain along which impulses run easily, and tho moro Impulses that pass along it the deeper becomes tho groovo andH tho moro easily and Inevitably the subse quent impulses travel. This physical groovo illustration may bo itself illustrated by tho history of Broadway, New York. When tho city was only a cluster of houses at tho ex tromo tip of Manhattan Island, which wo now call tho Battery, tho worthy settlers brought their cows In to bo milked along a path which grew broader every day, because, being In tho centre of tho settlement, tho people on both sides of it drove their cattle that way. As the vlllago extended into tho country tho houses wcro built upon either sldo of tho cOwpath, which grew still broader each year as moro cows went to and from pasture, until at length It became a well-marked road. Travel passed along It naturally, simply becauso It was well marked and convenient, until It becamo ono of tho lo'ngest and busiest thoroughfares In tho world. Neckties and Thought If wo had to dress today for tho first tlmo In llfo It would bo a long and difficult under taking. Wc should have to study tho mean ing nnd probable place of each garment. To put tho studs In the shirt, to discover what to do with tho unattached collar, to decide which was the back and which tho front ot each article, would present a scries of serious probloms. To adjust the necktlo alono would lnvolvo a largo amount of physical and mental effort. Yet each day wo dress and undress without giving tho process a slnglo thought. Habit has enabled us to perform tho series of Intricate acts unconsciously and while thinking of nn entirely different sub ject. i Sir James Paget has made an estimate that an expert pianist can strike 24 notes In a second. Each note necessitates the passing of a nervo current from the oyo to tho brain and from the brain to tho fingers. Each noto requires three movements of a finger, tho bending down and raising up, and nt least one lateral, making no fewer than 72 motions In a second, not to mention tho movements ot the wrist and elbow and shoulder, and each requires the control of the will to regulate tho speed, force and direction. Padcrowskl or Hoffmann can do Itcaslly for an hour with out pause. But tho only way In which the performance is posslblo is by tho uncon scious action which nothing but habit can give. Habit docs away with tho difficult task of making up the mind on every movement or action which must bo performed in life. If a man, has the habit of doing honest and care ful work, ho docs not have to discuss tho question every flvo minutes of how well a thing needs to be dono; thero is only one way to do it; and ho cannot do It any other. If tho habit of study has been acquired, the student does not have to fight every night to decide whether ho will sit down to his books or spend the evening at some place of amuse ment; he goes to his studies automatically, as if It were the only course open. The Easier Way to Succeed Professor Vlrchow.'of Berlin, wrote: "flow often have I found myself in a state of despondency and with a feeling of depres sion! What has sayed me has been the habit of work, which has not forsaken me even In the days of outward misfortune the habit of scientific work." To cultivate good habits Is to found a partnership with nature. For ex ample, food Is more easily digested, the func tions of the body are mde regular, the faculties are truer in their exercise and the mind la more contented and happy In an In dustrious life than in a lazy one. This Is Nature saying, "I am on the side of the worker" The triumphs of men of good habits and tha U$t comprehends almost all that the world delights to honor are proof that they enlisted the forces of the universe in their own behalf.

EVERY MAN HIS OWN MURDERER A More or Less Cheerful Meditation on a Gentle Pastime By BURTON KLINE M OST of us regard murder as thoroughly Impolite. And yet millions of us aro murderers. Most of us ore murderers, and without knowing it. Thero is tho pathetic port of it. Great and accomplished murder ers nio going to their graves unhonored and unsung, without flowers or offers of marriage from tho ladles. You know, it Is only tho hopeless block head who resorts to tho bullet or tho pellot of cjnnldo when desirous of muidcr. That kind of murder is nothing moro than a momentary absence of self-control. If you don't bollovo you aro a potential murderer, step out of your door somo evening, pro pared to call upon tho young lady of your choice. An urchin throws a muddy snowball which fetches up ngalnst tho bosomj of your shirt. In your opinion death Is too good for that urchin. Tho wholo train of tragic consequences of that snowball flashes tin on gh your mind. Having to dress again, beginning with tho very fundamental ot tho shirt, you may be lato to your appointment. Tho lady of your choice may conceive- a poor opinion of you on account of that. Sho may say you Nay. That snowball may havo ruined your life: Well, that urchin was a murderer then. And In your thoughts you,, too, nro a murderer. Many a real pistol murder results from tho over-hasty trans lation of such a thought Into action, In a momentary lapse of self-control. Nagging wives are dally doing murder. I once had a large, sweet-natured St. Ber nard dog. I also had somo chickens. Ono day one of tho moro Immature chickons broko a leg. I put tho leg In a splinter and tho chicken in a box. Tho box I placed on tho back stoop, near tho spot favored by my dog for his matutinal nap. Tho chicken cheeped. The dog stood it for a long time. Then ho walked over and with every Justifi cation piled open the slats of that box and killed that cheeping chicken. Cheeping wives havo been killed In Just such a mood of Im patience. Tho electric chair is an Insensate object. Had it a conscience and a voice, what cries It would utter at its work! Tako tho caso of an employer who sud denly discharges an old and faithful em ploye. Ho murders that cmployo with a word, as neatly as if it wero dono with a phot. Invalids may bo slowly murdering the generous or defenseless wights upon whom they aro dependent. John Keats was mur dered by a critic. Plain people, not geniuses, but Just honest corner grocers, aro being hacked to pieces overy day by thoughtless criticism, by moro successful competitors. Jealous and mlschlovous peoplo actually pur sue murder us a pastime. A fqw of tho downright diabolical variety mako it a fine nrt. In somo fashion wo nre all murderers. Tho glutton sinks his own teeth in him self every time ho sits down to tho table. Probably ho eats mince pie for breakfast, with nobody to tell him differently. Tho person who talis to tell him differently is himself a murderer. But thero is one type of human helng that nature, with elaborate cunning, Beems to have fashioned deliberately to do murder. Wherever these people meet they recognize each other In a flash. They form u sort of guild,1 Of course, the one universal In strument of murder Is In every one's hand or rather mouth; but In the mouths of these people the Instrument takes on a sharper edge, and their skill In tho use of it Is as much a natural gift as Caruso's gift of sorig. The instrument can sou have failed to guess it Is, of course, tho Tongue. And the guild Is tho great and universally dis tributed Grand Order of Gossips. The man who shoots another goes to the electric chair," The gossip goes to afternoon tea.

Many of us know teaehers who, without much preaching, convey, in all their Intercourse with their pupils, the influences and qualities which purify and Invigorate character. A considerable aqualntanea with teachers Im presses roe with the belief that the feeling of their responsibility for the moral welfare ot their pupils nnd their appreciation of the values of character are steadily deepening among them. NO profession Is s, aere4 that shallow and aeif'eeeslng person do not nnd a plaea in it. but 1 bltere that as much seriousness and devotion may be found among the teaohsra ot our common Reboots as among uby otasr elass of i!nw-tii, clergy not ej(Ud. TO4 ELECTION MUST BE HELD IN HUNGARY WINS Whichever "Way the Great War Goes Coming True The Lud of the .thousand Years of Waiting. By VANCE THOMPSON mHI3 BusBlan army has Invaded Hungary. J. It forced tho passes of tho Carpathians and in four columns, It is pressing on. What is curious is this: Out of overy threo inhabitants of Hungary, at least ono is praying that tho raid may becomo an invasion victorious and com plete. Of courso I am referring to tho Croats, tq tho thrco million Rumanians and tho threo and a half millions of Sorbs who dwell in tho land under tho sway (not al ways gentle) of tho Magyars. It 13 a fact of equal moment that all tho Hungarians aro not of ono mind regarding this war. Tho men of '48 aro dead, it may be, but their sons live. They remember tho hope and de spair of that bloody rovolutlon. Tho mem ory lives though it was long ago that tho lns rebel was hanged and Hungary was de graded to a province of the Hap3burg em pire. And moro than ono Hungarian docs not know whother his hatred for tho Invader Is greater than his ago-old hate for Austrian tyranny. If you doubt this fact, ask tho Hungarians who havo come, In their thousands, to this country. I'vo been talking to some of them. It was last evening, and wo sat at a table, and when the sllvovltsa was sent out In tall, pale bottles we talked of theso things. They mnde me one of them, becauso they remem bered a sin of my youth what tlmo I lived in their land and translated (for a notnbio occasion) that "Szozat" which Is tho soul of Hungary. And wo sang It onco moro: "To tho Motherland, unfaltering Thy faith be, O Magyar!" And drank out of tall palo glasses. I did not hear ono good word for tho de crepit feudalism of tho Austrian Emplro; few Hungarians savo those who aro in ono way or nnothor in Its pay or tied to tho wheels of government would weep at Its downfall. Victory in Defeat For Hi tho defeat of Austria they see a now and frco Hungaiy tho hopo and dream of '48 come true tho splendid dream of Kos suth Lajos mado a reality. "And how many Hungarians are there?" I asked. Thero was a dispute. The Magyar with the hoavlest voice said nine millions; an other said thero wero less than eight, nnd ho added: "Even In our own land wo aro in a minority" which led to nmplo discussion. Geographically 'the country Is a basin, ringed round by mountains. In this hollow a half dozen nationalities are shut up. It Is the Magyar's land, but he does not sit at tho head of the table. The German Immigrant sits thero. Then In the south of Hungary aro the Serbs threo millions and a half. Naturally enough their eyes are on Servla in these herolo days: and tholr hearts are there. They would fain be a part of that ancient kingdom. How many Croats there are In Hungary no one seemed to know; perhaps there are a million or two, and their dream Is of a greater lllyrla, which shall unite Bosnia, Herzegovina, Montenogro and, it may be, Dalmatla a splendid dream. Thon In tho north of Hungary are the Moravians, who hope to found with Bohemia a new Czech State. The Rumanians of Transylvania have tholr dream, too, It Is tho old dream of union with their brother Rumanians of the Balkans, ot Bessarabia and of Mace don. And so there is not In Hungary one way of thinking since thero are bIx. But all those races aro one In their hatred of the Austro-German lords of the land. "What we Magyars want Is a simple thing wo want our own government, Wo want Magyar rule. And wo'vo fought for It for oyer a thousand years. We'll get. it, too that Is what we shall pick up out of the ruins of this war," Heads or Tails Tbey Win And another Hungarian said; "Whether Austria loses or wins we win," "How cap that be?" "A victory will leave her as weak as a de feat. You can't haul an old totjering struc ture about as Austria has been hauled about io this wojr," he explained, "without knocH ing It to pieces." "So that Is why a million Magyars have been doing tho heaviest fighting for Austria why they have Indeed done the only real fighting?" ' "I don't think any one reasoned It out In advance," he saldy i "Simply went to war?" "you see they had to. The Hungarians had no choice. They were in the army, or they wre drafted into it with on ohance to revolt as buHooks in a yoke. And thajj," he went on, "at first the v,ar wax l'OfiUhr Jt was ft lurrh. boysl war. The! sur dri ArobguKe was to ba aveni 6ryi MAnCH!' ITS INDEPENDENCE the Magyar Dream of Freedom h was to be wiped out. And war against Itui sla was popular for the Hungarians hiaij not forgotten that sho aided tho Austrian,, Emperor to fasten on their shackles. That was the first thought But now that thsi" war has spread that It Is a clear alignment w of tho feudal forces of Europo (Turkey, Quxa many, Austria) against tho best tho world 9 has got In democracy (republican France, democratic England, tho agrarian Russia), why tho Hungarians havo thought twice. They seo that German-Austrian vlctcnr, means for them a stronger, If not a harsher 3 taskmaster. It means a heavier German hand over Hungary, and tho Magyar dream of freedom pushed back and back." lirnH...l.,,.. it..-.. .. ....ii - ..- ' jtitjtiiiwjuiti uieiu 13 uu (luuBiiuu ui. a re7j volt in Hungary" "Not until tho war Is over.

Whether they wero foolu or! traitors to tno raco tloesp't matter now. Wo'vo got to fight It out.

Sclf-rulo of tho Races After all, for thes Hungaiian3 the onvx thing is Hungary. And aren't they right? This war is being fought for tho liberation of nationalities.

One of the 91 aspects of that new freedom upon whicn they wero oloquent was the economic ospeot, i Hungary, although over o. thousand, yesrs old. Is practically unbroken ground. Under ' a national, modern and self-respecting gov ernment it would offer innumerable chances ; for tho nrosDector. the exDorter. tho manO- 3 facturer.

These things they said sitting at tables and then they sang Vorosmarty's national hymn, whereof there has been mention, for,. they are a singing race. A fighting, slnginft kissing race worthy of freedom. And they shouted "EJ HaJI" nnd tho glasses clinked. THE CHIMES OF TERMONDE The groping spires have lost tho sky, That reach from Tcrmonde town; There are no bells, to travel by, The minster chimes are down. It's foith we must, alone, alone, And try to find the ways The bells that we have, always known, War broko their hearts today. They uted to call the morning Along the glided street, And then their rhymes w? re laughter, And all their 11018 were sweet. 1 heard them stumble down the air Llke'aeraphlm betrayed; God must have heard their broken praer That, made my soul afraid. The Termonde bells are gone, ore gone. And what Is left to say? It's forth we must, by bitter dawn. To try to find the way. They used to call the children To go to sleep at night; And then the)r songs were tender ind drowsy with delight. The wind -will look for them In vain Within the, empty tower. w ehall not hear them stng again At dawn or twilight hour. It's fotth we must, awy, away, And far from, Termonde town, ' But thl is a.15 1 know today. The chime, the chimes re down! Tiny used to ring at evening To help the. people pray.
