confront the Americans of to-day. He says:

Is it not evident that the frontier carries a great inspiration lesson. for the present generation? The last material frontier has been conquered and the forests have all been explored. The waste lands are all charted and crossed by countless trails, and simply await the necessities of our expanding civilization to be subdued by the mechanical processes of irrigation. Nevertheless, America has just begun to face the test of her strength. A Nation of a few millions of people on the Atlantic coast has expanded into more than a hundred millions, and the very problems of existence are again, aas in the frontier day, taxing to the utmost the ingenuity and the self-reliance of our leaders. Was there ever a time when self- reliance was more needed? Are not cheerfulness and the American sense of humor demanded? Was there ever an era in which a ei continental view-point, a firm reliance upon the orderly processes of democracy, and a - high idealism were more vital?

The author believes that the principles of real democracy are thoroughly assimilted by our people, including the great mass of those of foreign birth and parentge, but that democracy with us does not nclude the idea of equality in the sense hat would restrict the abilities and opporunities of all to the limitations of those

of lowest capacity. "It ought never be possible in America," he "for any says, group of people to organize millions of nen to the extent where individual excelence is kept down by an arbitrary prohibiion upon self-realization and personal listinction. We must cling to the indiidualism of the pioneer spirit, but we nust supplement the motto "Trust thyself' with this other wise counsel, "Trust thy Fellow-man!'

The author holds that the American public is constitutionally "liberal"-that is o say, open-minded and forward lookng. It is the hopeful, expectant attitude of the pioneer. It is bred into the sons of people who have opened up a new counry, and who have been always discountng the future. They habitually expect hings to change and conditions to improve. They are receptive to new ideas nd tolerant of even violent dissenters. No advocate of reform could ask a fairer hance for his theories than he has in the orum and at the ballot-box in America. These are no obstacles to the introduction f any change, however radical, except that he approval of a majority of the people nust be obtained. He quotes Morris Hilluit, the Socialist leader of New York, s saying that, "paradoxical as it may eem, our very democracy has militated gainst the immediate success of Socialism." That is to say, it causes vexatious trouble nd delay to be obliged to convert so many eople before putting the Socialist docrines into effect. Hence the "soviet dea and the attempt to put it into effect it Seattle and Winnipeg. Hence the disposition of the impatient and radical class o defy the Government and resort to iolence. It is a reversion from the peaceul methods of democracy and the ballotox, of reason and enlightened appeal, back o the rule of brute force.

Next Saturday afternoon give the car a thorough washing and allow to dry thoroughly. Pry off the top of a quart can of Murphy Da-cote Motor Car Enamel and flow on a coat with a soft varnish brush. Lock the garage doors. Next day roll her out, pack in the family and flash a bright, brand new car on the neighborhood.

Doesn't sound difficult, does it? More than a million car owners have done this very thing.

Da-cote is so smooth that it flows just a bit before setting, so that all brush marks and laps disappear.

Da-cote comes in black and several popular colors. Send for a color card and for the name of a merchant who sells Murphy's.

THE NATION'S INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS (Continued)

heredity there can be no retaining the values won. Safety and progress are attained only by the "interplay of opposed forces." The author says there will always be a good supply of young men who are anxious to reform the world forthwith, and that the supply will never fail of those who enter the world of affairs committed to the preservation of things as they are. "Between these two groups we need men who will see the world as a whole, men who realize that preservation of essential institutions in a changing world means the careful and practical adaptation of those institutions to modern needs. In short, we require men to whom the leaders of industry and government to-day can hand over the great working machinery which mankind has devised to feed and clothe itself under conditions of law and order."

The author believes that American society is permeated with the spirit of progress, but the war has so stimulated the thought and self-consciousness and aspiration of the world that the orderly processes seem too slow for an active minority. He says that the cry of "speed up" touches a responsive chord in every right-minded person, but warns that "it is an inexorable law of progress that great and reasonably lasting changes involving the relationships of men cannot be hastily effected. Any attempt to 'rush' the world simply affords excitement for the impatient. In spite of temporary unrepresentative legislation, ina the long run only such reform as has the deep sanction of the minds and hearts of the majority of the people can establish itself as an integral part of what we know as the civilizing process of the race." He calls the efforts of a few to force the reconstruction of society "criminal impatience." "They are children who seek to get what they want by snatching it." He believes, however, in full liberty of speech to the dissenters. Let them win their way by argument, even though it be distorted by ignorant misrepresentation, if they can. "The radical is dangerous only when the liberal is quiescent."

He deprecates the talk of war between capital and labor, pointing out that labor has only to know what it wants and secure unity of action among all who belong in its ranks to have complete control under our system of government.

The author is well disposed toward the idea that the wage-earners should have a more active and responsible part in industry. In this he is supported by the best thought of the business world. There is general assent to the thought that the worker must have an interested and constructive relationship to his work in order that the present industrial order may be maintained and the output of the industries shall suffice to meet the growing wants of the population. He presents the concrete facts of the industrial situation in the following statement:

There are already too many people in the world to be provided for adequately by the bare resources of nature. Population grows at a rapid pace, and while during the past century and a quarter the development of new natural resources and of new technical arts has increased faster than population, it is none the less true that in most parts of the world population is actually pressing close upon the minimum of subsistence, and, for a considerable part of the world, population is too great for comfort. In the United States, the richest country of all the world, there is still not

enough to go around. We have felt this increasingly during the war, but it was true before the war. Approximately ninety million people of the United States, exclusive of outlying possessions, received an income in 1910 of somewhat more than $30,000,000,000, including all wages, interest, profits, and rents. It is estimated that about $2,500,000,000 of this was taken for the support of Federal, State, et and local governments. At least $4,000,000,000 more was taken for additions to the productive equipment or capital of the country. This leaves not over $24,000,000,000 for current consumption during the year, which gives $260 per person or $1,300 a year for a family ds of five. The richest country in the whole world is not very rich.

These are the conditions with which ociety has to deal. Whatever ideas one ay have about ideal conditions, we are onfronted with the stern fact that the hanges must be accomplished without uiminishing the industrial product. With uman nature as we know it, at present ociety cannot afford to reduce the incenves to personal exertion, nor can it afford got to make full use of the individuals who ave exceptional talents in any line. It is pon this consideration that the right to loose one's own work and all the rights of rivate property are based. Most of us innot conceive of the activities of one andred million people being stimulated nd directed upon any other basis.

There is a general desire among the aders of large industry that wage-earners all be interested in the business by hich they are employed, and how that fective interest shall be secured is being udied in thousands of establishments. vidently the relationship must be of a ore or less permanent character. It canot be allowed that the man who has no ermanent interest in a business, who has ade no sacrifice for its upbuilding, who is ee to leave at will, shall have the same pice in its management as a man who has evoted a portion of his earnings to the urchase of an interest in the property. he one has a stake in the future of the 1siness and the other has not. The difrence between their relations is fundaental. The desirable line of advance apears to be by what some one has called the peopleization" of the industries-that is, e wide distribution of ownership, and hat has been shown to be entirely feasie. The "Railway Age" has lately called tention to the fact that if the railway Employees would devote an amount equiv

ent to their last wage increase to the archase of stock in the companies they uld own a controlling interest in a short me. The action of the Brotherhood of ocomotive Engineers in establishing a illion-dollar bank at Cleveland is viewed mong bankers with favor, upon the belief hat the mystery and suspicion which seems surround banking will disappear if the rganized wage-earners are in position to now all about the services which banking enders to the community.

Mr. Emerson's book is written in a fine pirit of sympathy with all sincere efforts > develop the social organization and imrove the common lot. There is a chapter pon "Human Resources," which is suffiiently suggestive of its contents; "The Veapons of Truth," which is a plea for the ight kind of propaganda; "Fifty Million apitalists," in which he sets forth his beef that the cure for capitalism is more apitalists; the "American Spirit in World Affairs ;" and others, all written with high appeal to social and world obliations.

The Wonders of a Puffed Grain

Each Puffed Wheat bubble is a whole grain puffed to eight times normal size. A hundred million steam explosions have occurred within it.

Every food cell is exploded, so you see an airy, toasted morsel as flimsy as a snowflake.

Puffed Rice is whole rice puffed in like way. Puffed Corn is broken corn puffed to raindrop size.

The texture is enticing, the flavor is like nuts. The airy granules seem to melt away.

But think what they are

But these delightful bits are grain foods, fitted for digestion as grains never were before. Float the Puffed Wheat grains in milk and you have the greatest food in existence.

Serve with cream and sugar, mix with fruit. Douse with melted butter for hungryhour delights. Use like nut-meats on' ice cream.

In all ways these Puffed Grains are like flavory confections, yet they are supreme foods.

Millions now enjoy them. Serve all three in all the ways you can. No other grain food can compare with them.
