F the character of a people depends upon its health,
then FOOD IS SURELY AT THE BOTTOM
OF IT ALL, for there can be no wholesomeness
of body without a wise selection of wholesome food. ,
We are apt to wonder why the sturdy characteristics
of our pilgrim ancestors have not descended to this generation, but
IF WE DO NOT EAT THE SAME KIND OF FOOD OB
DO THE SAME KIND OF WORK HOW CAN WE EX
PECT TO BE THE SAME KIND OF PEOPLE t, . .
Hard work seems to be distasteful to the majority of us, for tha
only thing that is worth being strenuous about is amusement or
ambition, while those who are obliged to be wage earners BECOME
LAZY AS THEY. BECOME AMERICANIZED, ., , , ..
A San Francisco houiseholder whose "housemaids" were Chinese
boys assured me that so long as they ate rice and mice and slept in
boxes they were skillful and industrious, BUT AS SOON AS
THEY ADOPTED AMERICAN FOOD f AND ; AMERICAN
WAYS THEY BECAME ADDICTED TO WHAT IS CALL
ED ON THE PACIFIC SLOPE "THE REST CURE HABIT."
If food really does affect the character, it will be interesting to

New Zealand's PUn Still Works Well
That New Zealand's plan of settling
labor disputes by conciliation and ar
bitration still works effectively is
shown by recent reports. , .
It appears that a commission ap
pointed by the Victorian parliament
recently returned to Melbourne after
spending a long time In taking the
testimony of all sorts of people In all
tbe centers of Industry. Only one of
the : many witnesses ' disputed ' the
soundness of the principle upon which
tha new system Is based or desired a
return to the old order of things, and
among those consulted were tbe presi
dent of tne cnlef chamber or com:
' iberce, officers of ratepayers associa
tions and representatives of varloua
Industrial unions. 'All agreed that the
arbitration court works well, but the
Victorian commission, like previous In
vestigators, found that the concilia
tion boards are hot equally satisfac
tory. These boards take evidence and
can then send on points In dispute to
the arbitration court for final decision.
number of witnesses, want to hav
the boards invested with power to
give their recommendations the force
of law until reversed by ' the court
One amendment of the arbitration and,
conciliation' act is urged which Is ob
viously needed that seven men in a
trade shall hot have the fight to bring
all who are engaged in It before a
court perhaps on the merest quibble
or out of sheer "malice, but that the
machinery of the act shall not be put
In operation unless half the employees
petition for it V - ''w''r' " ;
Whether a system which works well
in a small and partially developed
country like New Zealand could be
made to work satisfactorily In a great
country like this, with its varied and
complex Interests, cannot be said, but
certain if Is that the New Zealanders,
either 'among tha employers or the
motored, ara not ' In the least In

In the matter of permanent road Im

leading part Having In what Is tailed
the metropolitan regions;' the sections
within forty miles of New York and
Philadelphia, many growing cities and
towns, ths conditions were such as to
compel attention and demand' a solu
tion. After much discussion tbe pres
ent state taw., was finally enacted and,
with slight changes, has remained on
the statute book for nearly ten years.
In accordance with the provisions of
this law. permanent roads have been
constructed and are petitioned for In
many counties of the state, says
writer in the Good Roads Magaxlne.
,;, "Buf it will be remarked, "do not
auch roads get out of repair and are
they not then harder on horse and
wagon and traveler than dirt roads?"
Of course all good things that are used
will show wear, and a stone road will
be used far more than It was before it
was improved. People will go out of
their way In order to enjoy the com
fort of it This la especially the case
in winter, when parallel roads are cov

especially wbere heavy ; loads are
drawn, this will be particularly notice
able. But after all la said, the road is
far better than any dirt road could pos
sibly be under tbe same usage. If this
heavy wear is allowed to continue sev
eral years, the road will begin to be
somewhat rough, and of course travel
over it will not be quite so pleasant
The cost of repair will then seem to
be quite an itemv But we do not let or
dinary roads go without repairs; much
less should we withhold care . from
them after they are improved. The
law provides that the contractor shall
keep the road in repair one year after
its completion, and a percentage of the
cost is withheld to insure compliance
with this condition. Tbe first winter
