There are a lot things we want
to know that we're better off for
not knowing.
Somehow there are fewer fond
mothers in the country who refer
to their boys as “perfect.”
The particular feature about the
war’s birthday is the fact that no
one wished it many returns of the
day. _
The position of the man who
shirks his duty to himself and his
fellow men always becomes one of
humiliation.
Although a pacifist never enlists,
he is the first to want the militia
called out when there's trouble in
his neighborhood.
'if Germany stuck to her prom
ises as closely as she tries to exe
cute her threats, history would
s how no record of the current war.
Suspicion is naturally aroused
when a newly married man whose
\ oung wife does her own baking
comes out strong for seven wheat
loss days a week.
There are so many pesky secret
a jents around that the harassed
German spy is beginning to ques
tion seriously the benefits of living
u ider a democracy.
"The mills of the gods grind
slowly.” A woman who had posed
as a man for a number of years in
Ohio had the deception brought to
li^ht through the draft.
THE PEOPLE’S BARGAIM.
"The annual increase of our
w alth is estimated to be fifty
billions of dollars. The American
people are not ask to give anything
to their government, but to invest
a small percentage of the annual
increment of wealth in this country
ant take in return from their gov
ernment the strongest security on
trn face of God’s earth; to receive
in return for the money lent 3’2
percent per annum, both principal
and interest exempted from all
taxation except estate or inherit
ance taxes, and with the further
provision that if the government
should issue any other bonds dur
1 >g the period of this war at a high
ate of interest the purchaser of
a Liberty Loan Bond may turn it
in and get a new bond at the high
er . ate of interest.
In protecting the credit of the
L -ited States government you are
P tecting your own credit, you are
; lecting your own business, you
a : protecting every interest you
h ve in life and property. In doing
si. :t you are rendering a patriotic
s \ ice in supplying the sinews of
war to your country.”—William G.

One-llalf Cup of MilL
Half a cup of milk whole,
skimmed or sour a seemingly tri
fling matter, hardly worth the
trouble to keep or use.
In many households quite a little
milk is wasted, left uncovered in
glasses., regarded as useless be
cause the cream has been skimmed
off, allowed to sour, poured down
the sink or thrown out.
Now, if every home, there are
20,000,000 of them, should v/aste
on the average one-half cup daily,
it would mean a waste of 2.500,
000 quarts daily, 912,500.000
quarts a year, the total product of
more than 400,000 cows.
It takes a lot of grass and grain
to make that much milk, and an
army of people to produce and de
liver it.
But, every household doesn i
waste a half cup of milk a day?
Well, say that one-half cup is wast
ed in only one out of a hundred
homes. Still intolerable, when
milk is so nutritrious, when skim
milk can be used in making nutri
tious soups and cereal dishes, when
sour milk can be used in bread
making or for cottage cheese.
Beyond His Means.
“How much sire your pies, mister?”
asked diminutive Tommie, peering
wistfully over the top of the counter,
i “Ten cents apiece, little feller.”
“Oh, I didn’t want a piece; I wanted j
a whole one, but 1 only got a dime,”
and Tommie started to turn sorrow
fully away.
His Specialty.
“Did I understand you to say that
this’gentleman is an Impresario?"
“That’s what he calls himself.”

vaudeville. He directs a troupe of

What is Real Food Economy?
By Dr. Samuel G. Dixon
Commissioner of Health of Pennsylvania
Hysteria of the individual is very
catching. often becoming an epidemic.
Community hysteria in a reprosenta
; nities hysterical on the economy of
: foodstuffs, even to the extreme of con
fining themselves to a maize (corn)
diet instead of having a well balanced
diet with the variety of food that will
not only stimulate the appetite and the
digestive glands, but will meet nature’s
demands.
Man is an omniverous being. We
can best economize by eating what
agrees with us. To resist tuberculosis
and other wasting diseases and to keep
in tile best form for the working of our
physical and mental body, particularly
in these times of high nervous tension,
we should have meat or some good
vegetable protein as a substitute in
moderation once a day.
In addition to this we want fat, pref
erably butter or cream or fats of ani
mals, the latter only cooked sufficiently
to heat them through. With the pro
teins and fats we want a carbohydrate
(starch or sugar).
Today there are many diet lists be
ing given to the public worked up into
tables based upon their heat-producing
power. The trouble with these diet re
ceipts is that they are based upon
tests made upon those having perfect

ernment destroys
its efficiency. Hys

apt to run to great
excesses nnd neg

in life which are
of the greatest im
portance, not only

the individual but

Less Unemployment Likely
In America in Near Future
As Result of the Great War
At present, nml In all probability in
(he near future, according to a re
port of a medical ‘committee on social
insurances reported in the American
Medical Journal, this country will hnve
less and less unemployment, and there
is no question that with the war and
with the destruction of life and peo
ples in Europe, in the very countries
from which, in recent years, this coun
try has drawn its vigorous unskilled la
bor, the immigration which has come
to these shores so abundantly will enor
mously diminish, and there will be a
dearth of labor and a rise in wages.
At present, however, there is no
question that even in good times the
wage earners of this country ore un
employed for from one-flffh to one
fourth—20 to 25 per cent—of the work
ing days of the year. Those who are
dependent on their daily wnges hnve
thus to consider a further diminution
of what is apparently their actual wage.
All investigations on the amount of
wages have shown that about four
fifths of the men and nineteen-twenti
eths of the women earn less than $000
a year to support their families, and
this amount of wage is not able, even
in this country, to support those fam
ilies on a fair standard of living. This
is one cause of the enormous mass
of woman and child labor.
Great Army of French War
Aviators to Befcome Mail
Carriers When Peace Comes.
It is said that the French govern
ment is planning to convert its corps
of army aviators, thousands upon thou
sands of thorn, Into mail carriers after
the war.
There are no technical difficulties In
the way, according to the Toronto
“Mail and Empire.” Airplane engines
have been perfected to the highest de
gree of reliability; their speed has
been developed marvelously. Nothing
short of thick fog, a violent thunder
storm or a hurricane bordering almost
on a tornado now serves to prevent
flying—with rarely a casualty from
natural causes.
Indeed, the greatest defect in the
army aerial service, according to offi
cials In that branch, is overconfidence
in what the airplane engine can do.
Flights of six and eight and ten hours
without replenishing the gasoline sup
ply are now of common occurrence.
Mountains can be scaled as if they
were mounds under the foot of a Brob
dingnagian. Aviators leave the Brit
ish side of the channel and deposit pas
sengers or messengers on the war front
with no more sense of the unusual
than If they had taken a steamer from
Dover to Boulogne.
The possibilities of mail carrying in
difficult regions have not been thor
oughly investigated, because only the
demands for war efficiency have
brought flying up to the point of de
pendability needed for general service.
The French government did establish
some postal routes for airmen, but
.nothing on an extensive scale was
adopted. Commercially, the utility of
ihe fullest exploitation. Britain will
have scores of thousands of expert
| aviators, and not many of these will
I abandon the “sport” which now is serv
I ing the British armies so splendidly.
digestion nnd a normal amount of phy
sical exercise in a normal atmosphere.
Life is a factor scientific medicine
cannot measure. It forbids the human
: body from being compared with an tu
j organic machine or test tube experi
j ments in the laboratory.
The digestive tract and its many
glands that vary in their powers to
prepnre food for the assimilation of
the body, are governed by the nervous
system. They vary greatly in their life
power to produce digestive secretions.
For the reasons given each individual,
after once realizing that meats, fat,
starches and sugar are necessary In
various proportions to maintain his
health, will have to make an intensive
study of what digests, so as to give
him the best health and keep up his
' weight to give him e/ierg.v, apd permit
him to sleep, and to be of good cheer.
You will always find that people dif
fer from each other in their selection
of foodstuffs, some doing well on a
large proportion of vegetable food, oth
ers doing better on a reasonable
amount of meat nnd carbohydrates or
stnrch, while others have to avoid
starches nnd sugnr to prevent violent
indigestion and ill health.
We often find powerful men who live
on very little food, while many trail,
lily nourished people have good appe
tites and eat plenty. These things are
hard to explain. The laws of nature
are so profound that even today In this
scientific age we find the digestion (if
people differs so that we must at pres
ent attribute It to the variation of life
force.
From our actual experience In life, |
after long devotion to the feeding of
people, we have learned that a mixed
diet is essential to good health. The
practical experience of the individual
must be a fnctor in guiding him in
the selection of foods nnd the quantity
he can eat.
Tommy was rebellious. “Oh, thun- i
der, I don't want to get married.”
Mrs. Bolton’s lorgnette went up. |
“Thomas 1”
“Oh, well!’ Tommy hung his head j
under her austere gaze. "Why does |
every one have to pick on a fellow !
when he is having a good time?”
"Because your father and I know
what Is best for you. Marry Gene
vieve Sawyer and you will be happy.
Marry some silly chit without money,
brains or breeding and you'll be sorry
the rest of your life.”
“Give me time, mother. But It
seems to me that you and dad are do
ing the very thing they’re trying to
brenk up in China. I'll bet the girl's j
tickoled to death about it sume as me,”
sourly.
“She’s got sense and she ll do what
she’s told!”
“I hate highbrows!”
“She Isn’t a—a—the vulgar thing
you call her just becuuse she took
highest honors at college."
“I guess I’ll go fishing!” Tommy
lit a cigarette and stepped off the
porch.
Once out of sight, Tommy ditg down
for a leather pocketbook and from
the neatly arranged bills and papers
he fished a bit of rag. lie held It
tenderly In the palm of his hand for
n minute, smiling reminiscently. It
was thin white stuff embroidered in
pink and blue daisies, with a delicate
tracery of green leaf. The edges were
frayed and torn. lie wondered where
the girl was and who she was—the
owner of the dress, lie hud found her
in a boat In a little deserted cove at
sunset, her engine gone dead.
Tommy had chugged around the cor
ner and stopped.
“Hello!’ he called.
“Hello 1” she answered. i __ j
"What’s wrong?’ ^ .'-iv
“I don’t know 1” j- £
“Want a lift?”
“Thank you. If you’ll put me off
at the hotel, I can get my boat In
the morning.” She stood up and
there was a sound of ripping and tear
? lng as one of the flounces caught and
held.
“Oh, what a rotten shame 1” he sym
pathized, reaching over and trying to
help her extricate herself.
“I can’t help It and It’s too late to
go home for another,” she said. “I’m
dining with the Merricks and Alice
can pin me up some way.”
Then he lost her! Next day he
went to the hotel only to find that the
Merricks had departed. He called him
self a fool and everything else in the
calendar for not finding out her name
before.
On the Farm.
“Yes, plants have their ailments.”
“To be sure,” said the sweet sum
mer boarder. “I have heard of hay
fever and I am not surprised the hay
gets feverish out In the hot field.”
A Joyful Event.
“There’s one thing I’ll say for the
ialser: His funeral wiuld break the
world's record for attendance.”
“That so?”
“It’s a cinch. Think of the millions
jf people in the world who would
ike to go to It right now.”
