This is a frightfully rich nation. The countries of Europe owe us ten thousand millions and will pa> us, including* interest, THIRTY THOUSAND MILLIONS in th* next (V- years. European debts due to private American purchaser, of Europe's obligations amount to eight thousand million dollars. These securities. averaging high interest rates will compel Europe to pay our citizens $500,000,000 a year? with the principal when due. Old Rome, with her consuls pouring in money and slaves from conquered territory, was not nearly as "well fixed" as L'nc'.e Sam. No wonder some of our friends in Europe worry, and ask "'Did we fight each other only to make Uncle Sam rich?" Our answer is "Wo didn't ask you to tight. Be wiser next time." The American Society for the centre! of Cancer is cheerful. It reports excellent progress. Thousands of lives, now needlessly sacrij ficeri, would be saved, if people were Informed and would keep away from quacks. The society denies the statement recently made nt a convention of doctors that "nobody really knows anything about cancer." "Cancer is not contagious or inherited," says the American Society.

In any part of the United States you can drink t.? much as you like. The only trouble is that what you drink in the way of whiskey is a little worse poison than it used to be. "Why." asks a newspaper r:an. "do you say it would be less Jar jrercus lor tnc Shenandoan to go to Spitsbergen and hunt for Amundsen thar. to go from I akohurst to Minneapolis and back " ANSWER: Because at this Time of year crossing the Atlantic with ihe prevailing winds helping. going on to Spitsbergen from England, with tVie Patoka. waiting there as a base, and exploring the Arctic Ocean a few hundred miles ncr* would be simple. It would on* mean flying the big Sh^nar.d? *h in the midsummer climate of the Arctic, at no great distance from her base. A trip from New York to Minnesota and return through the zone of midsummer thunderstowris will be sufficiently safe, as helium doe3 not explode or burn. But it would be more dangerous than a trip to Spitsbergen and on North at this season. Careful inquiry in restaurants shows that corned beef ana cabbage is the favorite food of the American public. Four thousand five hundred and f T.-?J..rv -J *-U ? " ?vies wciiitiu .nr vegetable dinner. Nevertheless, corned beef, excellent for those that live by their muscles, is not good for thinkers. Any process that makes DECAY difficult also makes DIGESTION DIFFICULT. While your stomach is struggling with corpod beef, or salt pork, your brain cannot do its best.
