LKAItX A THAD13!
Said a Father to his son, "If you
learn u trntie, you can go almost
anywhero in the United States, and
get a job." And ho was but giving
homely expression to an age-old
truth. Tho Jews, in the early his
tory of their race, insisted that their
sons learn trade, and even to this
day, it is a rare exception for any
descendant of Abraham to bo with
out a regular vocation.
In our opinion the education of
tho "hand" is of even equal, if not
of greater importance, than tho edu
cation of tho "head." Our country,
it seems to us, is sufVering from
"Overcducntion," and we nro in
great danger of reaching tho point
of diminishing returns (intellectual
ly speaking), which has caused so
much confusion in the social llfo of
Germany, where tho country is over
run with whnt is known ns tho "In
tellectual proletariat," I.e., tho man
who is "ovcrcducttted," "without a
job," and anxiously waiting for
"something to turn up"; whero tho
"preacher" must wait ten years for
a charge, u "lawyer" fifteen for a
client, and a "doctor," a lifetime,
often, for his first patient.
"Educate tho head, but not at tho
oxpenso of tlio hand," ought to bo
tho slogan in pedagogy, to-day.
And that movement, looking toward
tho establishment of manual train
ing-schools In every city and town,
is a safe and sano expression of this
Idea, and a step in tho right dlrec
tlon.

PEOPLE'S FORUM.
Tho Women Pay Taxes In Ariel Too!
Editor THE CITIZEN:
I read your article "Woman's Suf
frage" in THE CITIZEN, and am
glad of the privilege to express my
opinion on the same. While I do not
think that "Woman Is superior to
man," I do think that she should
stand by his side as his equal. Tho
Lord did not take her from the head
of man that she might be above man;
neither did ho take her from the feet
of man, that she should be trodden
under foot by man; but ho did take
her from tho side of man, which
plainly indicates her position In life.
In Ariel, if a man does not pay his
taxes he cannot vote. If his taxes
are paid, he can vote. I know six
teen women in Lake township, there
may be more, that I do not know,
all pay their taxes when due. Of
course none can vote. Now I think
that wo ought either to bo exempt
from taxation or allowed to vote.

PORK AND I1EANS "N. G."
As A Cure For Tuberculosis, Now
York City Physicians Say It Is
Unfit.
"Pork and beans" as a cure for
consumption, recommended so high
ly by Sir Hiram Maxim In the Daily
Express, of London, does not com
mend itself to the medical fraternity
of Now York City. Physicians are
sure that the eminent authority, on
explosives does not know pork nor
beans either singly or in comblna
tlon.
One well known practitioner says
the New York Herald, who has for
years been interested in tho dietary
of public institutions declared that
lie had no doubt that scientist was
fond of beans and therefore consid
ered them a panacea. Also he called
attention to tho high mortality from
tuberculosis in tho bean belt, for in
former years consumption swept
whole districts of New England de
spite the eating of many and many a
crock of Boston s finest.
An outspoken opponent of Sir Hi
ram s theory that pork and beans Is
a better remedy for tuberculosis
than cod liver oil Is Dr. Elmer Lee,
New York City, who has for years
conducted experiments to determine
tho relative value of foods. He
said:
Unfit For Weak Stomachs.
"The use of pork and beans, a food
of high flavor, aromatic odor, pleas
ant to the sight and agreeable to tho
taste, which is largely employed In
certain places as a part of tho daily
met, migiu bo usetui in consumption
cases If the consumptive had energy
enougn to digest ana assimilate it.
Consumptives suffer primarily from
loss or strength. Laymen are inclln
ed to the belief that oils and fats
convey greater nutrition to the
weakened consumptive than lean
meats or vegetable substances.
"In practice it is found that fats
and oils are not digested, but ah
sorbod and not assimilated, but. on
the other hand, become injurious to
the circulation and act as waste
which it is most difficult for the sys
tem to expel. A strong person may
derive benefit from oils, fats, pork
and beans, but to a weakened sys
tem tney are Harmful."
"Is Sir Hiram Maxim justified in
his theory that pork and beans may
be compared with cod liver oil In tho
treatment of consumption?" was ask'
ed.
"If oils and fats," replied Dr. Lee,
"or pork and beans Boston or New
York style, the Boston variety being
moro greasy were substances of
easy digestion and assimilation thev
would be useful In consumption, 'but
as me tooas are indigestible for
weak persons and remain In the In
testlnes as foreign substances. It fol
lows that they are of little or no
benefit to the consumptive."
"No ono who has felt tho respon
siblllty of treating a consumptive
wouia ininK or placing pork and
beans before his patient. Neither
would he think of using fats and oils

"Is tho humble bean," was tho
last question, "with or without nork.

lor the consumptive or for the norm

"Tho bean," was the reply,
"ranks high as human food. It is
easily dried, keeps well and by light
boiling and mild seasoning becomes
readily digestible and completely sol
uble, conditions necessary for nu
trition and assimilation. Fats or
oils added to boiled or baked beans

Blbly the appearance, but detract
from the ease of digestion, thus ren

is to cook each article of food sopar

Boston Will Try Out Pork And Bonus
"Cure."
A Boston, Mass., special says: Im
pressed by the statement of Sir Hir
am Muxlm In a letter to tho London
Daily Express that pork and Boston
baked beans are more effective than
cod liver oil as a cure for consump
tion, Dr. Philip C. Bartlett, superin
tendent of tho State Hospital of Con
sumptives, at Rutland, will begin
this dish to the patients tomorrow.
"wo will give beans and pork a
two weeks' trial," said Dr. Bartlett.
If tho results are In accordance
with Sir Hiram Maxim's statements
they will remain as a regular part of
tho hospital diet.
"Pork is good for tho fat that It
contains. Fat Is easily assimilated
and keeps tho body warm and pro
tects It against chills.
"Beans are the poor man s meat.
Their nutrltlvo value Is very great.
They contain an abundance of pro-
teltls that are very necessary.
"Not all patients can stand pork
and beans. The experiment will be
tried only on patients In tho in
cipient stages of the disease. In the
advanced stages tho digestion be
comes impaired."
Leading Boston physicians do not
all agree with Sir Hiram Maxim.
Dr. Henry I. Bowdltch, of 41C
Marlboro street, said: "A consump
tive should eat just what agrees
with him and plenty of It. Pork and
beans aro Indigestible for a great
many consumptives. So differently
are people afflicted with that disease
constituted that no ono thing can be
set down as good for tho whole
class."
Dr. Richard C. Cabot, of No. 190
Marlboro street, said: "I should say
that the statement of Sir Hiram
Maxim is true. No ono can take a
great deal of cod liver oil without
getting sick. It Is possible to eat a
great deal of pork and beans with
out becoming ill. Beans and pork
are excellent food and a consump
tive needs plenty of good food.
Dr. Herbert O. Clapp, of No. 419
Boylston street, said: "Both beans
and pork are splendid for consump
tives who can digest them."
Dr. Edward O. Otis, of No. 381
Beacon street, said: "I should not
consider pork and beans specially
for a consumptive, because there are
so many other foods that for them
are just as good if not better."
Dr. John B. Hawes, 2d, said:
"Beans and pork aro good solid food
and they are used to some extent at
the State Sanitarium for Consump
tives. I cannot see why they should
be recommended for the menu any
moro frequently than roast beef or
other nourishing food."
College Girls mid Dress.
In an editorial in the Wellesley
College News, the undergraduate edi
tors deplore the fact that many of
their college mates aro neglectful of
the simple and Inexpensive ways and
means of enhancing tho attractive
ness of their personal appearance.
"Isn't it rather a pity," the writer
naively remarks, "that so many of
us do not realize the duty of being
beautiful?" She says it is often in
timated that girls of other colleges
Vassar, for example, appear to
better advantage, and that it is for
the students of the College Beauti
ful to disprove tho aspersion by giv
ing their mirrorful attention of a
morning to the accessories of the
toilet that In the world's eyes make
so great a difference.
Tho unworldly scholar, like Chau
cer's Oxford clerk, Is prone to de
spise considerations of dress as un
worthy of tho mind that Is conse
crated to the higher pursuits of learn
ing. A college professor Is likely to
think that It little concerns the ad
vancement of science if his trousers
bag at tho knee and his elbows are
shiny. Yet there is no particular
reason why tho scholar as well as
Mr. Worldly Wiseman should not ap
pear to spruce and well-groomed
advantage in his attire. It was not
bad advico that Shakespeare offered,
"Costly thy habit as thy purse can
buy." Tho first superficial impres
sion that any man or woman makes
upon tho world that judges from ap
pearances has a great deal to do with
the outward semblance, "for the ap
parel oft proclaims the man." Any
college that Inculcates true woman
liness can scarcely avoid urging up
on tho students a proper regard for
the art of dress, which goes far to
increase the attractiveness of an en
gaging personality, while its neglect
may obscure the agreeable qualities
of the girl who Is so Intent upon
Greek roots and psychology that she
has "no time to waste on dress."

THE OLD RAG CARPET.
Oh, well I remember the home of my
girlhood,
Tho sitting room opened on Sundays
atone,
The big roomy sofa upholstered in
horsehair,
The little old organ so wheezy of
tone,
rao green paper shades that were
hung at the windows
The round braided rug that was laid
at the door,
Tho album, tho vases, tho white cot
ton tidies,
And the breadths of rag carpet that
covered tho floor
The gayly-strlped carpet, the old
fashioned carpet,
The cherished rag carpet that cover
ed tho floor.
It was woven not only of linen and
woolen,
But with fragments of sorrow and
Joy and romance;
The lavender silk that was worn to a
wedding,
Tho figured delaine of a maiden's
first dance,
A baby's pink frock and the weeds
of a widow,
Tho blue of a coat that; a soldier
boy wore;
I knew and I loved every strip that
was in it,
The dear old rag carpet that covered
the floor
Tho good honest carpet, tho plain
humble carpot,
Tho home-made rag carpet that cov
ered the floor.

THE FORMING OF FRIENDSHIP.
Middle Aged People Aro Too Husy
to Contract Enduring Friend
ships. "I wonder If it's true what I've
Just heard," said a woman, "about
making friends." Tho subject came
up over a cup of tea nt a neighbor's
house. My hostess, who is older than
I and presumably knows moro about
tho world and the people In it, stat
ed it as her belief that it Is the
young folks and the elderly folks who
aro apt to make real friendships.
Sho contended that those of us
who aro between these stages aro
rather too busy to contract enduring
friendships. I've been thinking
about her observations ever since.
"Undoubtedly there is a good deal
of truth in her remark," says the
Doylestown Intelligencer. "The se
cret of friendship, of course, Is un
selfish Interest. Friendships are
formed easily by young people be
cause they have no thought about
their associates whom they like save
that of liking them. The Idea of
using people that thing which de
stroys them when onco formed
does not enter their mind. They take
people for what they are, not for
what they can get out of them.
There is an unconscious yielding of
one's self to friendship In all this.
"The same may bo said of thoso
who have passed tho stage of very
active endeavor. Somewhat out of
the rush of affairs they turn. If for
tune favors them, to the simple, the
joyful things of life, among which
friendship is the chief. They know
the pleasure that comes from giving
and they give of themselves to those
within the circle of their acquaint
ance. It follows that they attract
friends and on the principle of like
attracting like, many a delightful
friendship is formed between the
old and tho young.
"I don't know that it is quite fair
to emphasize selfishness as a quality
repelling friendship, to be sure, but
I llko to think It Is only temporary,
and caused, more or less by the
necessity for a man or woman to
look after his own.
"It Is, of course, regrettable that
absorption in personal affairs takes
away from the opportunity and pos
sibly the desire to make new friends.
The only reason, I suppose Is for
one to try to balance things that
is, to pay proper attention to one's
own Interests, and, at tho samo time,
not to shut one's self off from old
friends or from the possibility of
making new ones.
"There aro rare persons whose fac
ulty of making friends Is never dull
ed from childhood to old age. They
are the ones who have a genius for
friendship, and such people, I be
lieve, are the richest in the world.
They are the people born with a love
for their kind a love that must find
expression. It does find expression
In countless ways, In acts of self
sacrifice and thoughtfulness In doing
for others for the pure joy of doing,
In giving happiness for the sake of
making old earth a brighter place.
"They are the ones who are able
to forget, for a time, their own cares
or desires, in listening to what oth
ers have to say, and in trying to help
others. Also, they are able to en
ter fully Into the glad experiences of
those about them.

more along the lines of how Chris
would run a paper. We don't know
just how that would be. In tho first
plnce if Christ was back on earth we
don't believe ho would go into the
newspaper business at all, and If he
did we nre sure he wouldn't como to
Mllford to do It. If our friend had
wanted It moro on a religious plane
we could tell him frankly that it
wouldn't pay. Thero is not an edi

truth for thirty days and Btay in the
community in which they live. II
our friend doubts this let him try
telling tho absolute truth for just
one week and see whero he lights.
We never were much to "soft soap"
