The health of the people of this world is growingbetter all the time Fifty years ago the average lengthof human life was only 33 years Now it is between35 and 40 and nearly 40 In a couple of hundred yearswe ought to have increased it to CO years

Disease is being suppressed more and more It is

still the fashion to bring children upon the bottleWhen mothers come to understand that their own milkis free from germs and that the milk used out of bot ¬

ties carries cultures of diphtheria and cholera infantum tho children willhave two chances of living where they only have one now

The education of the peoplo is going forward every day 80 that theyore constantly increasing their armor against disease In the end cen ¬

tenarians will be commoner than blackbirdsFor instance see what leas been done in eliminating typhoid which

with tuberculosis carries oil more people than any other disease Viennahaving a scperatc system of water supply for drinking purposes hasbrought the typhoid death rate down to one in 100000 Vienna gets herdrinking water direct from tho Alpine snows

While the education of the people particularly the mothers is to be

the principal factor in bringing more favorable conditions for the healthof the people the fight for legislation should be continued

The world is growinbetter because moropIe in world are get ¬

ting eyes Growing ¬

ter is seeing butter Civ ¬

ilization is sight Notsaintship Not puerilemorn selfsatisfactionNot superiority Civili ¬

zation is democracy Itis the open road and the open mind It is the equal chance It is salvation for all rather than security for a few

The world is growing bolter bocaus6 growing better is naturalto it than growing worse The individual is beginning to seo himself insocial perspectives In the commune Realizes that ho can do nothingalone Is helpless without tho crowd No maxims of indefinite virtuewill press the gage beyond Tho world is going to be sot forward bysocial rebellion Nothing can frustrate this drift

Man comes first Ho is the unrepoolablc foundation All who wouldbuild securely must build on man All who build books All who buildhouses All who build songs All must build on man No ono shallhereafter build on rent interest or profit These three mado one in greedare the inherited enemy They must be destroyed There shall bo no conse-quent ownership of man by man Of any worker by a boss Of any childby a parent Of any wife bn husband or Husband by a wife Of anyauthor by a publisher Of any editor by a propriptor Of oven the lowestby the highest Ownerships will be universally abolished in order thatownership may be universally asserted Time person must give in to themass in order that the enemy may bo reborn in the spirit of tho brother

This has always been the dream of the saviors It is now going to bethe fact of the saved Once crowd looked outside of itself fur salve ¬

tion Now it sees that it will be saved from within It is not contradict ¬

ing the isolated saviors It is only confirming their prophecy We arcproducing a world of saviors identified with a world of the saved

The world must grow better because the existence of this devotionis an evidence that the vision of the world is improving It is all a ques ¬

tion of eyes We become better by seeing betterFor the first time in history we see the progressive political forces of

different countries unified in their adhesion to an international philosophyThat means the end of war That means the end of patriotism Thatmeans the of classes That means the end of superior inferiorOf up and down Of the master and the slave Of the employer and thoemployed That means that the social structure will celebrate service

rather than sacrifice And explains whour world is growing betterThe enfranchising spirit of this vision is being made flesh in the

every day of labor conduct If you do not see this you may look

about you and find that the world notwithstanding its vanities and phys¬

ical glories is a blank If you do see

this you have your gaze fixed upon theface of revelation

No human being isperfect and they whomarry expecting perfection inevitably must bedisappointed Somebodyhas said that marriagelike government is aseries of compromisesNot only marriage butlife together between any

number of human beings few or many in a family or in a communitymust necessarily be a continual succession of concessions the sacrifice ofindividual preferences to tho general good It is a mistake to say that

For true love there is no hardship no meanness no shame Its light is

bright and clear cnoughto eliminate all darkness its warmth such that itdefies cold its sweetness such that it banishes all bitterness of spiritSuch love as this there may be but it is as rare as radium and few therebe who find it Love docs not make all things easy it only makes it possiblo to do that which is difficult and to do it willingly for the sake or thebeloved Love is of many kinds and it sometimes happens that sincerEaffection is supersensitive exacting rather than allexcusing

There would be by far fewer matrimonial disappointments if thoswho marry especially the women would resolve to see only good in end 1

other and persistently jlive up to that resolve It is the part of commoisense to make the best of whatever comes to iw the more when it ha E

been of our own choice and there are not many things still less peopleso bad as to have no best People usually find that for which they diligently seek and the point of view usually determines the outlook be itdark or bright In this jostling worjd each mans lot is determined mostljby his own character its interaction with the characters of those who sur-

round him and the same is true in less degree of women also Temperament works itself out and ones own thoughts and deeds make uffate for each one barring a few accidents which we ascribe to Providence

TOMMY AND THE DONKEY

Story Which Helped a Little Boy NMake a Choice

I dont know which to do poutedTommy I have been Invited to satand to rldo and I cant decide

Which do you like tho belT askedUncle Jack

either end Plenty ot dinner eitherway he turned In fact he turned firstone way and then tho other trying todecide which haystack looked the moreluscious and Inviting There did notseem to be a pin to choose betweenthem howuvor and the poor donkeydespaired of being able to decide whlobwould make the butter dinner andwhich ho ought to tacklo first

When ho got tired of standing upto think about IL ho lay down andwagged his bORdoI like both he saidto himself If I choow one I fool sunI shall be sorry I havont chosen theother
