THE PENALTY OF r ~
CARELESSNESS
By 6. W. Inglish,
Fire Prevention E<T>"t.
Every time you hear (be cry of
"Fire!" you can lie almost absolutely
safe in thinking that someone has
been careless. Fires don't' buppen-
They are the Inevitable frsult ol
combinations of preventable things.
When analysed to the last equation
it will be found that carelessness is
the root whence spring nearly all
tires.
What a penalty Industry favs to
carelessness! Fire is the great de-
stroyer. The wealth of a generation
can be wiped out In but a brief hour.
Why not fight flree before tbey
start? Why not so conduct your
habits and bo keep your premises
that when the fire dem-j;1 wants to
offer your savings as a sacrifice he
will pass you by, Just as those of
Egypt of old were passed over when
the sign they had been told to place
over their doors, were seen?
Too often when those who are
responsible from fire cry out tbey
are the victims of bad luck, tbey are
but paying the natural penalty for
their own carelessness.
If you want to keep down your fire
insurance rates, wage eternal war-

Nations of the World Ht>ve Various
Flags—Their U«e Strictly Pre-
scribed by Custom.
The British mercantile flag is
known familiarly as the Ked Knsign,
savs London Tit-Bits. Strictly
speaking, no inland jierson has any
right to fly the. Bed Ensign ashore,
die only flag permissible being the
plain Union Jack, which the ordi-
nary citizen often flies upside down.
The Red Ensign has its official sta-
tus from the edicts of two queens,
Queen Anne in 1707 and Queen Vic-
toria in 1864.
The merchantmen of the colonies
generally use the Red Ensign also,
but bv permission of the admiralty
may add the badge of the colony "in
the fly." Some nations have special
mercantile marine flags, but not all.
The United States flag, for instance,
is the Stars and Stripes for all occa-
sions.
The Oerinan mercantile flag of
black, white and red dates only from
1867, and symbolizes the union be-
tween the Hohenzollern black and
white and the red and white of the
Hanseatic league. The Russian mer-
cantile flag, introduced by Peter the
Great, was originally the l>utch flag,
familiar to him from his studies in
Holland, reversed. Later the ar-
rangement of the three colors was
varied. '

country children are fewer than for

AN AGRICULTURAL COUNCIL
By T. N.
ProfeiBor of Economics
Carver,
Harvard University.
Every city has Its chamber of com-
merce or Its Board of Trade. The
purpose of such an organization .!•
to study economic and business op-
portunities of the city and promote
enterprises #which will help to build
the city. Does any one know of a
good and sufficient reason why ev-
ery rural neighborhood ought not
have a similar organization?
In Germany they already have such
organizations They are generally
called the "landwirthschaftsraih" or
agricultural council. Some students
of the problem of rural organization
are strongly cf the 01inion that such
an agricultural council is necessary
before much eanvbe done for th« bet-
xoepled by law from tering of rural credit or the market-
ing of farm produce. There Is no
object, for example, in having more
capital in a farming neighborhood
unless the farmers know without any
guess-work just how to use thai capt- what one ma k
tal so as to increase the production
and the profit of their farms. If all
the leading farmers of a neighbor
hood would lay their heads together
and talk over the situation and stud?
the opportunities for new investment,
they jwould be less likely to make
mtetakes than If they work secretly,
as separate Individuals.

posing woman's suffrage:
"We are willing to join in every ef-
fort to flevate woman but will assist
tn none to drag her down. The de
scent of womanhood is the most awful
tragedy in civilization. As she sinks
she may, like the seUIng sun. tint the
horizon wtlh the rays of her depart
lug glory. She may tenderly kiss tht
mountain tops of her achievement
farewell; she may, like tbe sinking
sun, allure the populace with he!
beauty as she disappears for the night
but when she steps downward, tht
earth is as certain to tremble and
plunge into daAness as death it It
follow life."
PARADOXICAL INFECTION.

Amazon Explorer
Swears by Grape-Nuts
Algot Lange—famous tropic explorer—recently made a perilous exploration of
the lower Amazon,
The question of food supplies was a big one. Economy of space—food value—
keeping qualities--palatability—all had tn be considered.
Lange chose for his standby—
Grape=Nuts
Here is the way he refers to this food here and there through his book, "The
Lower Amazon."
"I have included in my supplies Grape-Nuts."
"At lunch I eat some Grape-Nuts | an American
brerkfast ceralj with condensed milk."
"After this egg (turtle) meal comes foi me
Grape-Nuts from sealed tins.
"I go back to the moloca at noon to eat my
lunch of roast turtle, Grape-Nuts and hard-tack."
Everywhere--at home or abroad—wherever big things are accomplished—this
famous wheat and barley food is relied upon to build and sustain vigor and energy of
body, brain and nerve.
Ready to eat—delicious—economical--nourshing.
