northern kingdom had, been taken into
captivity by the Asyrians nearly a cen-

probably purposed to carry his reforms
to these tribes, as far as to Naphtall
on the north and to Simeon on the
smith, to rid them of idolatry and to
incorporate them in his kingdom As-
syria was in conflict with the Medes

hence was paying little attention to

remarkable instances contained in

and attaining high development tinder

was woree became of his introduction
of many of the most corrupting forms
of idOlatry. Iu the midst of that per-
iod elf deeline Jceiah came to the
throne to redeem for a time the his-
tory of his nation, and for a time to
scree it front liar:ending doom. Regard-
lese of all Gecfs merciful deelings, of
all the judgments and warningwhich
lie had sent or Of the influence and
example of good kings or prophets,
the people of Judah had continued to
grow worse and worse, Vice had taken
deep root among the people and na-
tional faults had betome stereotyped
in the Jeeviele character, A century
previous the northern kingdom of the
ten, tribes was carried into eaPtiVity.
For ite great idolatry the destruction
of the kingdom of Judah was close at
hand, In Josiak was reproduced the
piety of the lteet sovereigns who bad
proceded him. ails career was singular-
ly straight -forward and coneietent.
His early piety may have been due
in part to the quiet but powerful in-
fluence of a good mother. Other in-
fluences which surrounded him eeem-
ed unfavorable to the growth of true
religion and the fear of God. Unusual
godlersness and corruption had sunk
the nation in the depths of degrada-
tion. At such a time as Oki jasiale be-
gat). to seek the Lord. He determined
that he would worship God only.
When twenty years old he began to
purge Judah from idolatry. When
twenty-six years old he began to re-
pair the house of the Lord which had
been long unused and neglected. God
gave him etrength and crowned hie
efforte with bleesingiind success. He
boldly denounced and destroyed idol -
worship. As eoon as Josiah was free
from the traminele which confined a
Jewieh prince during his minority,
when he could show what his inclina-
tionwere, he courageously set him-
self to undo the evil that his .fatber
and grandfather had done. The re:
formation was earnest, thorough and
comprehensive.
II. True worship resumed. Josiah
was . a man whose activity ,was in-
spired by true religious feeling. The
disadvantages of his extreme youth,
the degeneracy of the times and the
bad effects of his father's reign were
overcome because he fixed his faith
upon God. The recorded actions of
Josiah which marked his imitation of
King David were, his attachment to
God's house, his devotion to his ser-
vice, his love for God's law and his
reverence for godly men. It was
becoming in Josiah to do everything
that was.requiredfor the strength
and beauty of the temple. In that
sacred edifice centred the religious life
of the nation. There Clod manifested
himself as he did In no other' Place.
The work of the destruetion of idols
was well done before the work of con-
struction began. In the work of
repairing the temple Josiah honored
the people by encouraging -them to
co-operate with, him in the noble work.
They were weary on the policy and
extreme doings of paganism. They
were ready to rally to the support of
the, young king. -Previous to the
eighteenth year of his reign, Joalah's
work was mostly .the result of his
Individual action. At that period the
movement entered on a new plane and
reached national dimensions.' The
immediate occasion of that change was
the finding of the law in the temple,
and that was owing to the repairs
which the king had ordered to be
made on the sacred edifice. Josiah's
methods were observed in the collect-
ing of the money, in the placing of the
workmen and .in the trust reposed in
the overseers. There was liberality on
the part of the people.

Compulsory health insurance is aow'

especially recommended in welfare

Investigation has shown that a large
proportion of sickness is preventible,
but raost persons, small wage eaten.

aillterits until prevention is no longer
possible and serious illnees must be
treated. Even then the doctor's ser.
vices are avoided as mucli as possible
because of the cost, and the victim or
disease goeS back to his work before
he is fit.
Under the compulsory insurance sys-
tem It is the idea that every worker
shall be visited at stated iatervals by
a physician whether he Is 111 or not;

SELLING EGGS BY THE POUND
Weight Instead of Number the Most Economic Method
(By Lawrence lime%
Until eggs are sold by weight, neith-
er the poultry keeper nor the con-
sumer win- receive what he or elle is
entitled to, The latter, as Matters now
stand, pays a different price every
time eggs are bought, because eggs
vary greatly in size and weight, The
consumer has the advantage to -day
and loses to -morrow. When the price
er eggs is based on weight, the buyer
wIll always know what to expect,
The poultry raiser is, in reality,
mare interested in selling his eggs'
lay weight than the consumer is in
buying them in that manner, for it
takes more food to produee large eggs
than small °Iles, consequently large
eggs cost the producer more than
small ones. The existiug plan of sell-
ing eggs by' the dozen leads to send-
ing•them to market without regard to
uniformity and bantam eggs assist in
aro excellent layers of largo eggs,
and they would probably be greatly
lu demand if eggs were sold On a ra-
tional plan -by weight. Indeed, when
this plan is adopted, something ap-
proaching a revolution in the raising
of hens for eggs production will oc-
cur, 111ggs have been exhibited which
were so heavy that six weighed a
pound. Wheu a' hen produces such
eggs as these, she does much more
work titan the average hen.
If eggs are sold by weight, hens
that produce light eggs would be
killed, thus gradually increasing the
size of eggs, and bringing them to a
greater degree of netiormity. There
may be some hens in a flock which
lay more eggs than others, and With-
out trap nests the difficulty of dis-
tinguishing suck heus May be consid-
erable, but as a general rule large and
vigorous hens lay large eggs.
. Tee question of selling eggs by weig ht istead
tious one, but worthy of serious consideration.
that the consumer would benefit.
making up a dozen. When eggs aro
sold by weight, the largo ones will be
selected, all eggs' will be sorted, and
as quotations will be given for large,
medium and small eggs, by the pound,
all eggs will be sent to market in a
more attractive condition than they
now are.
Oranges are always sold. by the doz-
en, it is true, but they are sorted, and
big ' oranges are never sold at the
sante price as little ones.
To sell eggs by the dozen is an in-
justice to hens. Some hens produce
eggs and weigh eight to the pound;
other hens lay lighter eggs, conse-
quently ten are required to make a
pound. On an average, a hen's egg
weighs about two ounces, or eight to
the pound, a dozen eggs weighing one
and a half pounds.
AIDS COST OF PRODUCTION.
A hen that lays ten eggs to the
pounn is sure to be regarded as an
excellent layer on account of the num-
ber 01 eggs which she produces, and
she will be selected as a producer in
preference to the hen that lays only
eight eggs to the pound, because the
latter lays fewer eggs. Nevertheless,
the hen laying the smaller number
of ego may have produced a heavier
weight of eggs than the apparently
more prolific hen. But she gets no
credit for it because eggs are sold
by the dozen, and not by weight.
Black and white Leghorns, Hou -
dans, Light Brahmas and Minorcas
of by number is a contort -
There cannot be any doubt
When eggs are sold according to
weight, better male birds will be
raised. Only large eggs will be used
for hatching- chicks with a view to
improvement. This will extend to
roosters in the same way that bulls
from well-known milk producing cows
are used as sires in preference to
those from ordinary cows. Moreover,
expenses would be equalized, and a
more complete record of the actual
cost would be kept. The poultry
farmer could then leara how many
Pounds of food are required to pro-
duce the greatest weight of eggs,
with the least expenditure of money.
So •long as ego are sold by the.
dozen, farmers and poultry raisers
will not be able to arrive at any de-
finite facts in regard to the true cost
of producing eggs, and the amount of
profit cannot correctly be estimated,
for to -day's calculation will not apply
to -morrow.
Both producers - and consumers
would do well, in their own interest,
to agitate this question. There is no
good reason for continuing the pre-
sent custom of buying and selling
"eggs by the dozen, and there are
many reasons for discarding it. Jus-
tice to consumers as well as to pro-
ducers demands that a change be
made. Only by weight can fair sales
of eggs be ensured and only by selling
eggs by weight can poultry raisers
properly breed chickens and improve
them as they should be Improved to
obtain the best results.

SOWING MINES IN $BA.
How These Ship Destroyers Are
Laid and Anchored.
Mine laying and mine sweeping are
two important subordinate fenctions la
a modern navy, and 'both ot these
occupations are fraught with danger
te those engaged in them.
A mine is really 4. metal globe con-
taining anything from 200 pounds to
290 pounds of trinitroteleune, or T. N.
T., as extremely powerful high explo-
sive, calculated to make things very
unpleasant for any ship that runs
against one of the ittle horns on top
or the mine.
Before the mine is put into the sea
the globe squats, as one might say,
between four metal uprights upon a
round, flat weight, to which it is at.
tached by a short length of wire rope,
the greater part of whieh is coiled
round a drum inside the weight.
When the mine is put Into the water
the whole contrivance sinks at once
to the bottom. As soon as it touches
ground the lamina releases a little
catch, which sets all sorts of wheels
revolving, with the result that the four
upright fall outwards. They trip the
sea bed, and the contri,ance is an-
eliored. Then the globe begins to rise,
hile the rope tinWintts until it has
leached a fixed length.
Thereafter woe betide the tilifOrtun-
ate, ship that runs upOn it.-Loxidon

IN AIR IN JULY
.......••••••••••••66..•••••
T4011E1011 Ulthle---.ACCOrtlilig to thO
official communiques, 420 aeroplanes
were lost op the western front in July.
The Times admits that the figures are
Inexaet, owing to the variations in
French and German methods of an-
uoutteement. Pour hundred and twenty
is the third highest total of the war,
compared with 392 in June, 713 in May
and 717 in April. Of the 420 no Iese
than 291 were German and 129 allies

British figures of 89 aro probably in.

IVfore Patrol Ships and More

'Urgent Needs.
HUNS' LAST HOPE
Enemy Will Despair When
Subs.' Failure is
Realized.
London Cable.-Adiniral Sir John
-----
R. Jellicoe, First Sea Lord and chief
of the naval staff, in an interview
with the Aesociated Press to -day, Os-
eussed the submarine menace and the
naval situation at the end of the third
year of the war.
"You ask me to say something of
the submarine menace," he began.
"It is serious because all the Allied
armies and civil population are in
varying degrees, dependent on sea
transport. But, viewed broadly, the
recourse by the Germans to this form
of piracy is encouraging, They did not
adopt it until they had lost hope ie
the victory ef their armies- They did
not risk drawing the United States
into the War and cencentrating on
themselves the loathing of all other
neutral States until tneY were con-
vinced that they could not float a keel
on the world's seas and by legitimate
means interfere with the growth of
the military strength of the Attlee:.
"For three years naval pewee Imo
been in process of translation ..into
military power, The Germans, in des-
peration, decided to embark upon
ruthless submarine warfare prove
a
in the
coutident belief that it wod
fatal stroke. in February, according
to their own confession, it was ...Ithe
best and only meane Of a speedy and
victorious ending •of the war,'
"March, April, May, June and July
have passed and their early hopes are
still unrealized.
"The Germans have not mastered us;
but, ou the other band we have not
mastered the submarine. We have
not yet discovered the effective anti-
dote. But we have, reduced the losses
of merchant shipping.
"There is no reason to doubt that
the Germans have at see lately a far
larger number of submarines than in
February and March, but, neverthe-
less, with the invaluable assistance
which America lias rendered, we have
prevented them from reaping the
harvest which they anticipated.
"How long the German population
will live on hopes deferred I cannot
cannot profess to say, but they must
realize "that the prophecy of February,
resting on 'oificial authority that the
submarine was 'the best and only
means of a speedy and victorious
ending ot the war,' has not been ful-
filled."
After a pause, Admiral Jellicoe went
on gravely:
"Combatting the submarine demands
the 'utmost effort on the part of all the
countries which have joined together
to defeat Germany. She has staked
her all on the submarine, and if we
defeat it her last hope will have gone.
"Che two urgent needs of the mo-
ment aer more patrol ships for hunt-
ing down submarines mut an increased
output of merchant shipping, So that
the losses suffered at sea may be made
good. The war has become one of
enonomic endurance. With the pew-
erful aid which the United States is
rendering, in making the naval block-
ade effective. Germany's condition
must become worse week by week. She
will hold out so long as there is the
faintest hope of the enecess of the sub-
marine warfare. Onca its failure is
demonstrated, the German people,
'whatever may be the case with the
German Government, will recognize
that defeanstares them In the face.
"It is, therefore, vitally important
that every effort be concentrated on
destroying what the Prime ,Minister,
Mr. Lloyd George, calls the 'bacilli of
the seas.' We must and shall defeat
it, but, in order to do so, the inven-
tive and constructive energy of all
the nations fighting Germany must
be devoted to the work and to the .rap-
id building of patrol ships and mer-
chantmen. If that is done, 1 have no
doubt of the issue."
BRITISH DRIVE
FOES IN AFRICA
London Cable. -British troops have
driveh the Gernians from their posi-
tions on the Lugengu River, in
man East East AfrIca, and aleo are pi:tilt-
ing forward in the Kilwa region, says
an official statement issued to -day
by the Britieh War Office.
The text reads:
"East Africa: After sharp fighting
the enemy has been driven with less
from his position') On the Lugungu
River and at Ntultras. •
"In the Kileva area a heavy raintall
checked our advance for some days
after the successful action at Naron-
gorobe, but our forward movements

Courses and Dishes.
Three courses seem to have been the
customary menu in mediaeval times
for a state banquet , less ceremonial
feasts comprising only two and no
private dinner more than one, tut
each course must echnprise from eight
to a dozen different dishes. Thus at
the woding banquet of Henry V. there
were only three tourses, yet over thir-
ty different dishes are mentioned in
the records, irrespective of fruits and
wines, -London Chronicle.

Ameternant •Cable--Ileviews of the
third war year, and the prospects in
thc coming twelve months, are printed
in an the Gerrattn newspapers, The
articleare written in an optimistic
and confident vein, and take the view
that the military situetion 1 bettor for
the central powers and their MUGS new
than It was at the end of the second
war year. This despite the entry et
the Vatted States, the full develop-
ment of whose military activities, it le
generally agreed Is not to be expected
until 1918.
The semi-official Nord peutsche
Allgemeine Zeituug says:
"Prom America the Entente expects
a decision now, as it did in 1916' from
Roumania and in 1915 from Italy."
The Rhenish Westphalian Gazette
urges "patience and again patience,"
and proceeds:
"Don't let us make a mistake. There
Is much bluff about American arma-
ments, but arming she is, and She will
come across. We do not doubt for a
moment that there is a treatee between
America and England, although ex.
Ambassador Gerard ridiculed the idea
a year ago."
The Frankfurter Zeitung draws a
gloomy picture of the future, "and
says:
"In the general impoverishment of
the people we observe with great
anxiety an undermining of the middle
clasees, a disappearance of countless
trades and a baneful growth of trust
formations."
The newspaper conelders that the
German war profit taxes are insuffi.
dent to prevent a thin, upper crust
indulging in all luxuries, in conse.
quence rif which prices soar madly.
Nevertheless, the newspaper cow-
cludee:
"The promise'once lightheartedly
given by the nation, to hold out, now
becomes categorically imperative."
