ent evenings.
Mr. Vandewall, president of the
organization, said this morning the
great need in Skagway is one of
education and explanations why he
are asked io eat corn meal and
other cereals in place of wheat. He
said one of the important reasons
is that wheat >vi 11 stand shipment
to France while other grains will
not, and the keeping quality of
corn bread is nill compared with
that of wheat bread, hence the lat
ter must be used for the armies.

The Alimentary Canal.
A Frenchman who bus made an ex
amination of the food canal In mam
mals has measured the length of It In
280 specimens that belong to thirty
species. He bas found that the ratio
between the length of the canal and
the length of the body Is smallest in
the carnivorous animals, larger In those
that are called omnivorous and largest
In the vegetarians. In other words,
the length of the food tract seems to
vary with the digestibility of the kinds
of food that are consumed. The rule
holds true in birds as well as in ani
mals. In man the alimentary canal
Is about thirty feet long, usually from
Ave to sis times the length of the body.
