Each city church should be a social center. It should be the t.laca '
to which any lonely person, young or old, would naturally turn. No1
< lurch should he contented with providing a center for its own imrne-
| < mte (lock. It should be the inspiration of all community life. The
churches should unite not merely for religious revivals but for social j
' service. I would like to see groups of churches getting together in plays
!p! ljaK,a,>l8> athletic tournaments or any clean, wholesome recreation.
y sl'ould be in the forefront in the fight for decent housing, the exten-!
sion of playgrounds and municipal recreation centers. They should
> aze the way first by individual experiments, and wherever the experi-
ments are proved successful, they should induce their adoption by the
city as a whole.
But the church should do one thing more. It should he a school
for prospective husbands and wives. It should teach definitely and
practically the sacred responsibilities of marriage. It should prepare
joung women in the essentials of domestic science. It should educato
young men in the sacrednoss of a pure marriage relation.
In every church there exist matrons of sound common sense and long
experience, who could give young women advice of inestimable value upon
conduct in early married life. There are plenty of men in the church who
can cultivate in youth the respect for women so essential to domestic hap-
piness, and correct that assumption of superiority by the male sex which |
sometimes requires more than patience from a wife. There are far too
many young people who undertake matrimony thoughtlessly, and chafe
when the idle dreams are dispelled by the seriousness of the problems of
domestic economy and parenthood. A little foreknowledge and prevision
would go far to prevent many a wreck in married life, and the church
might well address itself to supply these life preservers.

Sick headache, blllousnens. dizzi-
ness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul
breath—always trace them to torpid

Poisonous matter clogged In the In-
testines, instead of being cast out
of the system Is re-absorbed Into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes con-
gestion and that dull, throbbing, sick-
ening headache.
Cascarets immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons In the bowels.

Sectional selfishness and shortsightedness have led to the passage
of state laws giving preference to railroad traffic within circumscribed
areas at the expense and to the prejudice of neighboring states served by
the railroads subjected to these enactments. Fifteen states, by prescribing
a minimum daily movement for freight cars or by imposing heavy penal-
ties for delays, attempt to favor their own traffic. Some of these have
fixed the minimum moving distance for a freight car at 50 miles a day,
the average for the whole country being 26 miles.
In one state the penalty for delay is $10 an hour. Twenty states
regulate hours of railway service, the variations running from ten to
sixteen hours a day. Twenty-eight states specify headlight requirements
without an approach to uniformity, and fourteen states have dissimilar
safety-appliance acts.
Compliance with these requirements places a burden upon the rail-
roads, which is not borne alone by traffic from these discriminating states,
but is imposed upon the whole volume of traffic entering these states.
State laws, moreover, are not merely suggestive. They are posi-
tively mandatory, and divest the carrier absolutely of discretion to develop
new markets or to deal with trade equities. As a result the creative,
aggressive individuality and experience of the-railroads is throttled and
subordinated to the caprice, arbitrary rule and inexperience of political
regulators whose performance is mechanical, superficial and selfish.

The United States leads the world in industrial activities, and our
natural resources form the basis of this success, so it is natural that if
we wish to maintain this enviable position in the industrial world it is
essential that we conserve our natural resources.
We are an industrial, not an agricultural nation. It is because we
have advanced from the farm to tha workshop that we have grown great
and rich, lhe true measure of an industrial nation is its consumption
of coal.
The first result of partial mineral exhaustion will be increased prices.
This, of course, will restrain industry. It will also restrain our ability to
defend ourselves in war, for everyone knows that the supremacy of a
nation in war today depends on its strength and capacity in oil, coal, iron
and other minerals, Plenty of soldiers, and even plenty of money aro
not sufficient to resist attack.
In the matter of coal, competitive struggle of operators to maintain
a place and to keep out of bankruptcy obliged them to mine only the easy
places in the seam, leaving the rest of the ground perhaps never to be
utilized. Federal experts in the forest service have pointed out that in
the lumber industry practically the same conditions exist as in coal.

While the nations of Europe ure prosecuting the greatest war of
history with un efficiency and determination almost beyond human con-
ception, they are at the same time preparing for the even greater indus-
trial war which they know will come at tho conclusion of peace. They
propose to recoup their losses by regaining the trade that has been lost,
but to extend it into new and hitherto uuexploited fields. They will
devote the same thoroughness to their new task as they have to prose-
cuting the war.
Americans need not look to Europe as an outlet for their products.

dresses and lingerie are to he lmide

one to stay Indoors in April—for In-

there Is every reason for making tliem
during Lent, leaving more leisure for
enjoying the springtime.
