following the armistice run 3 against
an after-effect of the recent strike of
printers and pressmen. Book pio
ditctien in this country in 1019 as
compared with that of 1918 actually
fell off to the extent of 643 volumes,
i.;ccrdins: to the compilation of the
Pi. Users' Weekly. The total num-
b;r of b'oks brought out for the rear
vrr.s 8,594. In Engl-ird in 1919 then;
w-ers 8.622 volumes iceued, against
7,716 in 1918.
In view of the increased interest in
pi ritual matters created by the war
it is worth while to note the curious
c: incidence by which, for each of the
two years just passed, the number of
..-oks of religion printed in the Unit
ed States is recorded as 695. A dif
ferent story is told in fiction, an in-cr-jaso
of 116 volumes in this depart-

Bocks of history fell off 812 vol

litis despite the inclusion of new sol
diers' tales of experience. Is it pos
sible to assume that a world which
lu'.s exhausted itself in making his
tory has temporarily lost its desire to
write it or-read it?
Poetry, the drama, the arts, philo
sophy, amusements, all these suffer
ed losses in the letters of 1919. So
di:l the department of children's read
ing, of travel, of language. The lit
eiary outlook of the year, as it may
be judged from the statistical re
turns, took the direction of the prac
tical and material. Believers in
world peace, will regard most hope
frJly a fall of nearly 75 per cent in
books on military and naval science.

Bowel discharges carry bowel di-
i sease germs. Allow the discharges
j to remain above ground and the
house fiy proceeds to recharge seme
one's l5ovvels with the discharged
germs. This means babies have

There has been expense, distress and

Dysentery and typhoid in the old

infected bowels with the discharged

events r.ie followed by the funeral
procession to the graveyards. They
are the result of thoughtless" care-
! lessness. The absence of malice
does not animate the lifeless cropse,
nor mitigate the suffering, nor cur
tail trouble and expense.
It is iiie-efore a poor citizenship
that will not "cooperate with the

and that of your loved ones. Are
you interested? Then get busy

The railroad administration an
nounces that losses from the theft of
silk from railroad enrs have forced
amendments to the consolidated rate
classification which prohibit the
transportation of that commodity, by
freight in less than carload lots af
ter February 28. . Protests are being
made against the ruling as it will
force small communities to receive
their silk by express. In some cases
it is explained, the railroads have
had to pay out more in losses than
it has received in freight charges.
