It is believed that the way to improve individual und national health lies in mak- in health facts generally known and in encouraging the intelligent use of the best health knowledge." a | THE ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE | "7 147 has (0 be resorted fo. In a recent issue of the British technical journal, Engineering, Vircent L. Ravea, chief mechanical engineer of the North Eastern Rail- way of England, discusses the rela- | tive merits of the steam and electric locomotive to the great advantage of the latter. he says, is always available for ser- vice at a moment's notice. All that is necessary is to keep the electric motors clean, lubricated and provid- ed with brushes. The driver has oaly to step on board, elose switches and move the controller handle. When the day's work is over, nogh- ing has to be done except ordinary examination, oiling and cleaning for the mext trip. Sir Vincent contrasts this with a s'eam locomotive. About three hours before the driver and fireman come on duty the steam raiser has to make up and light the fire and attend to it until the driver takes charge af- ter which it takes the driver and fireman about 60 minutes to com- plete preparation for the day's work When the engine is at work, water cond coal have to be taken, and very often the fire has to be cleaned and made up. After the gfay's work is finishod the fire box has to be throws out aad the fire-bars cléaned, smoke- box ashes thrown out of the smoke- Lox, and tubes cleaned by compres- sed air. About every sixth trip the boiler-washer has to clean the boils er Lo kecp it fit for producing steam. The boiler-smith has to examine and 1onew the lead plugs, attend to leaky tubes and make many other amall ropairs to the boiler to enable the engine to rum its stipulated mileage.

Not so this young student, He asked if he might share the other's room. For six months they lived together, The younger one for six months put up with the uncleanness, coarseness and drunkenness of his comrade, sat up for him at nights, cared for him when he was helpless. . At the obd of that time he won out. The older man was ashamed and spur- red into a new life.

Then the number of the Russians was almost three times that of the Japanese. The critics decided that the case of the Japanese was hope- less. The Russians would simply eat them up. But there was one thing the crit. fes forgot to measure or weigh or es- timate, They forgot the spirit of the Russians as compared with the spirit of the Japanese, The Ruse glans were an oppressed people, )it- tle better than serfs, driven to hat- tles for a cause in which they had little interest. The Japanese were the most intensely patriotic people on earth, believing that their conn- try was being assalic/! wanton and tyrannical foe their very doors for their | native land. That almost | ol patrio- tism was the immeaszi ile, impond- erable factor which the critics en- tirely overlooked.
