A.;-*, liKe an engine made of iron

of e-jual value, certain alkaline pro
per'ics to counteract the acid ef*

Among the vegetables known as

I'he potato is known primarily as
a starchy fcod. And' since starch

tfi.icc the edible portion of a pota

foods. With un estimated excess of

than tiiey have bt*en. And It be*

FRANCE I \ TERN ATION ALIZED
Evidence mutiplies that the Fran
co-American alliance is something
a:-ore than mere phaseology. By
the slow processes 0f soldiers' cor*
lepoadence it is becoming appar
. t that many American soldiers are
Ukinc to themselves French wives,
and making the international al
liance one of fact as well as theory
A Washington soldier, writing to
his Barents at Elma. announces that
at a certain port in France where'
the *irst American troops landed*
nearly every eligible French girl
had married an American soldier.
The 1'anks are now scattered over
a large streU-h of country, and' It
t';e matrimonial hazard has continu
ed at the same rate, the ties that
■bind this nation to France are cer*
'ai:'.ly very much strengthened1.
If the British, Belgian, Por
tuguese, Russian and other soldiery
that have gathered in France have
been equally susceptible to the
graces of French womanhood^ the
Latin republic stands to be interna
tionalized. The old strain of
blood will ultim&Cey fr*»-8Richr di
luted, and the average French citi
zen of one hundredi years from now
is likely to posses several distinct
attains of blood. The Latin republic
has lost several million, citizens by
war, and other millions have been.
ciippled1, but the«e losses bid fair
to be replaced in large measure by
manv adopted citizens who have
comn Irorn foreign lands to fight
for her liberty, and perhaps marry
and remain permanently.
Out of her present stress, the
slaughter of her young men, the
ruin o* her cities and' towns and
countryside, will come » new and
invigorated France, renewed" by con
t-tct with the virile races that came
to her rescue. Probably the world
has never witnessed the like of
France's present position, utterly
•var-torn, with the entire popula
tion given over to the one consider
ation of war.
In the circumstances the intermaj
r'age of expeditionary soldiers
■•.ith the French is perhaps provi
dential, assuring- the nation of a
permanent future, bringing- new
and virile blood Into the weakened
nation and repairing in some mea
sure its tremendous losses of man
hood.—Reat'le P.-I.
WR1TK LKTTERS THAT SMILE
A ule-» has been made for more
letters to the men in uniform.
"Write often to your men In the
Army and Navy, and make your let
ters smile," says Roger Daniels, of
the Army ajiii' Navy Department of
thp Brotherhood of St. Andrew.
"Don't delay your letters, for there
u: a.i untold' amount of cheer and
comfort created by the word pic
tut es in these home messages. When
vou write, smile, a«d keep ohsmil
ing."
MESSAGE KKOM AMERICAN WO

A cablegram sent to the Ameri
can Committee for Devastated
Kratici* by Mrs. A. M. Dike, direct
or of lh.e work In France, reads:
"We are desperately busy caring
for refugees in great disteras. All
our children. have &eea transported

Mpre than ever we must be prepar
ed to help a magnificent nation

America. J 1,1*11
"The morale of our evacuated}
families is marvelous. All are
depending upon us to protect their
interests. They regard the civilian
comnii'-tees with positive affection.
"it is vital that our plans for
meet'nj the food problem should

work with increased devotion to the
cause of the Allies. Do not hesitate
to lay emphasis on the necessity to

Send over all possible assistance to

The efficiency of our khaki-clad eagle in France—help

on our golden eagles at home. Men we have in plenty
raw materials in abundance, but money is needed to
