Even more revolting than the fear
n that stalked over the greater Part of
Chicago were -the caste lines that un-
consciously+ divided the city. A caste

s, ligion.

most unwholesome food was eaten
here, the cheapest finery worn, the
cheapest amusements presented.
Yes, even the church' was imper
ceptibly invaded Fly caste • lines and
class spirit. The sermons preached to
laborers were of the old order of the-
ology. The staple virtues of obedi-
ence and patience were extolled. The
sermons addressed to working men at
the beginning of -the twentieth cen-
tury savored stronglyof the spirit of
the middle ages. On the other hand
in the churches attended by•men and
women belonging to Chicago's -upper
caste, the porterhouse caste, one
.might call it, the "newer" theology
was given full sway. Here ministers
preached on the higher humanities,
on the elevating effects of science, on
the refining " influence of art.
Some of these upper caste preach-
ers substituted now and then a read-
ing fromBrowning for a sermon.
Others, even- flirted with Nietzsche
from the pulpit. `
It occurred tp Witte that these as-
pects of society had not yet been
treated artistically in America. There
had been ng, novel written about the
hopeless' helots of modern industry,
There was room for an "Uncle Tom's
Cabin" of industry. Why not write
it?
He began -making plans for a book,
a novel that should portray the 'Great'
Fear—the Fear for the Job—that hov-
ered over' the masses,. that should de-
pict the caste lines that divide Ameri-
can society. He would paint the help
lessness of the modern factory work-
er, the horror . and despair of work-
lessness. He would make these poor
people so palpable that no one would
mistake them, that once seen they
could not 'be forgotten. -
In the midst of these plans he was
called by the "Morning Ledger,"
Witte' welcomed • this change, 'for al-
though it entailed more work, the new
Position meant that hp ,would have
the mornings to' himself, On the 'Led-
ger . he . did not report for work until'
half -past one in the afternoon. That,
he thought, would .give him the time
to write his novel.. He would work on
his book mornings when his mind was'
fresh.
He carried his plans out for ten.
morni>igs in`'succes'sion and put down,
on paper five thousand words. Then
came a day when he was not feeling,
well: His indisposition lasted for
nearly a week. When- he came back'
to his hook he ,felt that his thoughts
were colorless and postponed Writing
for a few moredays, waiting for his
ideas to clothe ;themselves in bright,
crisp phrases. But the crisp phrases
refused to come.. He tore up page
after page of his writing because it
was commonplace -
At the Reporters' Club, he confided
his -anxiety to Sommers, a newspaper
man older than himself by three, or
four years.
"It cannot be done," waseSommers'
ultimatum. -. ,
"I, too, tried toe write," ;Sommers
added gloomily, "but did not get any-
where. The—shop eats you up. It
takes whatever fire and originality
you have out of you. If you, Want to
write,'go into -any other bu iness'but
newspaper work, unless yo d ,can, run
a little country paper—that is differ-
ent."
Witte liked Sommers. He liked the
subdued' manner of the Yankee., who
was well ,read in Emerson. Sommers
was never, snobbish and often appear-
ed to be pathetically ldnely. He nev-
er swaggered, not, even when he was
drunk In this respect he was the
antithesis of Pindell, another- of Chi-
cago's star reporters.
Pindell was the life of the club. He
would come there about eleven in the
morning, drink till one -thirty, when lie
wound go to: the office . to get •his as-
signments for the day.. About four
o'clock he would be back, sipping high
balls and• holding forth to interested
listeners from among the reporters on
the afternoon papers, who by' this
time would begin to fill the modest
clubrooms.
Time and again a messenger would
come with a call from the city' edi-
tor of his paper for Pindell, This in-
reased his prestige. There were -few
eporters' in' Chicago, who drank with
the official sanction of their bosses.
Pindell, was one of these rare few, be-
cause no matter how drunk he was
he would never..let a story, or even
an important point in, a story, slip:"
Pindell was holding forth. He' had
the physique of a, giant. There was a
haughty and at the smile time keen
look in his face, as if to say: "I can

with staggering force.

teeth chattered, Their drawn faces
glistened from cold. , , •
The immense pathos of the„ situa-.
tion'left Witte as suddenly as it had
conte upon him. While his 'eyes were
still looking at the throng of homelese
men, who were now being piloted one.
by cne to their cots, his mind's eye'
was, seeing another scene: He saw
Christmas eve in the country, the
bells "answering each other in 'the
mist' .and ringing out the message;
"Peace' and Goodwill, Goodwill and
Peace,
Peace and Goodwill, to all mankind."
These words kept ringing in his
ear. all the way ' to his room on' the
north side. Still 'under• the influence
of Tennyson's description of a coun-
try Christmas, he began to write 'the
story of the municipal lodging house.
The. story violated, the first and: -at
the time, most' rigid newspaper rule.
It did not 'tell the news in the' first
paragraph. But it painted a vivid pic-
ture of the lodging -house and' its
nightly occupants. It told of the lad
of -eighteen who longed to be home
for Christmas. It told of an old man
searching his faded memory 'for the
name of the town where a married
daughter of his was supposed to be
living. It told of children who would
receive no Christmas- .: presents from
their daddies, because their daddies
were stranded, homeless and hungry,
in ,Chicago, .. It told of wives and
mothers who would sit down to a
cheerless Christmas dinner, wonder-
ing where 'their loved ones were- - -'
The story stayed on the first page
of every edition of the paper.
Some weeks, later there was a strike
in the stockyards. Twelve thousand
Polish and .Lithuanian laborers , em-
ployed by one of the pacic'ng com-
panies were informed that their wag-
es,: already small, -would be ' reduced
ten per cent and they struck. The re-
porters learned that the company had.
no intention of reducing 'wages. But
there were agitators at work .among
'these alien laborers, trying to organ
ize them -into a union. To counteract
the work of these agitators the com-
Graduate in Medicine, University of racy precipitated, the strike by an-
nouncing that it, proposed to reduce
wages.
Witte reported this to the city edi-
tor, but Benton listened with unmoved
face. The newspapers, 'however,.were
not"°unkind to the strikers. Because
of' the cold weather there was a great
deal of suffering among the foreign-
ers 'and their families. This made ex-
cellent material for pathetic' 'stories.
Benton. encouraged Witte to dive
deep intthe well of misery, in the

When the heads of the packing
concern felt certain that their em-
ployees, were sufficiently in debt to
have more poignant worries on hand
than organization, the strike was
promptly settled. LlThe company is-
sued a statement' saying, "While •busi-

decided to take the burden' •entirely

tion is abandoned as a matter of pub-

town who once- held forth exactly as
he does now, and whotoday are glad
to. hang on to some insignificant job
on a paper and 'eke out enough to pay
their board, room: and medicine."
"There was a time;" he continued,
pronouncing his words slowly. "when
newspaper work led somewhere. To-
day newspaper work leads to nothing
phut drink: "It is the road to nowhere.
It no longer even 'lays claim to art.
It has been too much commercialized
for that. The newspaper, writing of
today is as removed from . artistic
work as tombstone cutting is from
sculpture. Newspaper work crushes
art, crushes idealism. It unfits a man
for sustained workbecause it makes
him too cynical to make sacrifice$.
Drink is about the only relief the
genius of the profession has. That is
why our best writers drink them-
selves to' death. Every newspaper- of-
fice is a graveyard of shattered illu-
sions,"
Sommers grew morose as he spoke,
d mood of his with which Witte was
familiar. He stared vacantly for some
moments, then added dreamily:
"Some of these flays I shall take
the road. I shall go to the country,
to some small town. I want a home
there with a patch of ground back of
it and a lawn and flower bed In front.
And I want a wife in that home who
would never even suspect all that I
know, all that I have seen of life, a
wife who' goes to bed at ten and Pis -
es at seven, who does not 'take her
dinners out,' who does not know ' how
to sign waiters' checks, who .goes to
church and kneels in prayer and feels
better for having done so --I am sick
of the city. . Sick of its paint-,
ed women and wise landladies,, and
smirking waiters—"
Sommers rose to go to the office.
Witte .remained alone and was pon-
dering' over the latter's words and ov-
er his, book, plans for which were be-
coming more and more tangled and
complex. It was his dayoff and he
couldsit at. the Club as long as he
liked. He rang for the waiter.
CHAPTER X
THE NEW YEAR
The outburst on 'the part of Som-
mers. was not new to Witte.. Other
news paper men complained about
their profession fully aa 'vehemently.
They called the,occupation of a news-
paper writer a blind alley, fretted and
vowed they would get away from it
at the first opportunity that offered
itself.,
"It is part of the newspaper man's
life," a middle-aged copy reader once
remarked to Witte, with a crooked
little laugh, "to assail his profession,
to -dream of a farm or a country pa-
per. I, bought a half dozen acres once
myself and ran a chicken farm for a
while. I was going to enjoy nature
and the quiet life; to go to bed with
the stars and rise with the .sen. Af-
ter some months it began to pall on
me. 'In less than a 'year I was in
Chicago again, working for twenty-
five dollars a 'week on the copy desk'
of a morning paper and renewing my
acquaintances with the •bartenders
along 'the row. The work calls, and
the call is strong. .'
'
''the atmosphere of theclub had be-
come dense with smoke. Emil climb-
ed half a flight of stairs to the side-
walk. It was a warm September night.
He swung aboard a street car going
to an'amusement park at the edge of
the city:
In the overcrowded car young cou-
ples were eyeing each other hungrily.
Here and there a youth had his arm
about a girl's -shoulders or waist. Ev-
erything in the car breathed the 'at-
mosphere of love and desire, Emil
thought of Lena,
He -had not 'written to, -her for six
months.' And what pains he had gone
through to refrain from writing! To
Lena he was already a made -man, a
success. She cbuld not conceive of a
writer -on the Chicago Ledger as' oth-
erwise than big anci"suecessful. Her
last letters to , him were full of ten-
derness. There was unbounded confi-
dence in them for Witte, 'faith in -his
ability, and tender expectancy. . . ,
In excited moments ,Lena pictured
Emil as her knight, who would come
and Carry her off with him to the big
city and. intreduce„iier to'its turbulent
and fascinating life. She asked him
much about his ,life in Chicago, the
"Bohemian life of the writer," ,,as
she once phrased it.
And -how Emil would have liked to
be that knight: How he would have
liked to come, take Lena away with
him, away from everybody, and have
her all to himself, to talk to her, 'to
confide in her. . . ,
But what was the use! He was a
twenty - dollar - a. -week' reporter. His
daily bread depended upon a ,thou-
sand whims. The city editor was"•the. »-"
arbiter 'of his fortune. And, what a
fickle arbiter het was! A little bet-
ter story by a rival, a scoop by an-
other paper, and off came the re-
porter's head. Clearly, under such cir-
cumstances, with so unsteady a job,
a man could not 'think -of marriage',
could, not think of settling down,
In such moods. Witte would case
about for a place with some perman-
ency
in it. He wrote to several week-
lies in the East. A good literary week-
ly'
would give him an opportunity to
show his ability, he ,mused. There
would be a chance on such a 'weekly

Snoring -
;Snori ig• and breathing through the
mouth are serious matters not always.
given the special attention they de-
serve. For instance,,,, doctors know
that mouth breathing, in childs'en, can
lead to pronounced change in actual
facial structure, ••
Snoring indicates Failure of the nas-
al passages to perform. their .proper
functions and is commoamong those
suffering from some- form of blockage
of the nose.. •
Medical advice should' be sought for
the chronic mouth -breather and where
there is a tendency, particularly in
cold weather, for a ' child to develop
nasal colds with persistent discharge
the - family physician should be con-,
sulted at once.
Lisping and Stammering
More than half the children who
stammer or stutter in early school
years eventually _overcome the handi-
cap, Stammering, which is more com-
mon among boys than girl's, is the
result of a spasm of the muscles as-
sociated with speech and 'indisaies
some emotional disturbanceoften
traceable to "bad environment or
faulty training.
Lisping is due to tongue-tie, cleft
palate, hare -lip or maladjustment of
the. teeth. It can be helped consider;
ably and the cure lies' primarily in
sympathetic co-operation of parents -
and teachers With medical advisers. •
- Communicable Disease Terms
-Many terms used in connection with
controlof communicable diseases are
not understood by non-medical peo-
ple. For the benefit of parents and
educational authorities, the following
definitions have been drawn up by a
committee of medical experts:
CONTACT—Anyone so exposed to
a person suffering from a communi-
cable disease as to 'be in. danger of'
picking up the infection. (This in-
cludes not only physical contact, but
contact withthe soiled linen, etc., of
the sufferer).
CARRIER -e -One who has, and so
may transmit, a communicable .dis-
ease, but who has no symptoms of
the disease itself,
IMMUNITY—Known safety from a
specific disease .(as in' the case of
adequate protection by inoculation or
vaccination). '
ISOLATION—Segregation of per-
sons suffering from a' communicable
disease, or of known carriers of dis-
ease, so that they may not pass on'
the organisms.
QUARANTINE — Confinement to
home during the period of "incuoa-
tion" (development) of a commun;c-
able disease, of persons- known to
have been exposed to a disease
source.
SUSCEPTIBILITY (or Non-Immun-
ity)—Liability to a communicable dis-
ease (as in the case of a person who..
has not been found to have a natural,.
or artificial immunity from that dis-
ease).

By arrangement between federal
and provincial health departments
free public health literature is dis-
tributed from the various provincial
