And most cf the living her poor hands earned,

War ah tivtllzer.
Merchants undoubtedly in early
times pen el rated foreign tribes and
nations and brought homo in addi
tion to their wares stories of what
they had seen and learned abroad.
'But the merchants were too few’, too
{ignorant and prejudiced and too lit
gio given to observation to sprepd
ibruch useful information in this
r way, mid their peoples woro too self
satisfied to pi vo up any customs and
beliefs of their own for those thus
brought them.
How, then, could any effective re
sult from national contact ho pro
duced? In primitive limes the only
effective agency must havo been
that of war. Destructive as this is
in its results, it has tho 0110 useful
effect of thoroughly commingling
diverse peoples, bringing them into
tho closest contact with each othor
and forcing upon the attention of
each the advantages possessed by
the other. Tho caldron of human
society must bo sot boiling before its
contents can fully rninglo and com
bine. War is tho furnace in which
this ebullition takes place and
through whose activity human ideas
are forced to circulate through and
through tho minds of men.—Charles
Morris in Popular Bcionoo Monthly,

borrowing
If you have borrowed
from healtli to satisfy the
demands of business, if your
blood is not getting that
constant supply of fat from
food it should have,
you must pay back—from
somewhere, and the some
where will be from the fat
stored up in the body.
The sign of this borrow
ing is fliinness, the result
nerve-waste. You need
fat to keep the blood in
health, unless you want to
live with no reserve force—
live from hand to mouth.
