There is a great need for the people
of this nation lor proper instruction
in uiet. lew people know the right
kind of food to eat at the different
seasons of the year and nut always
dues custom prove a good guide.
Lpon the diet of a nation lies its
importance among the nations of the
world. So important has become the
question of u proper diet that many
of the large Industrial plants hiring
men into the thousands have hired ex
pert dieieriuns to go thoroughly into
the matter fur the benefit of Us help.
(Jne food expert so employed evolved
the following valuable advice which
the concern in question Issued as a bul
letin to the wage earners on its pay
rolls:
Blood-making foods ure a delusion.
All good foods when well digested make
good blood.
ConaUpatiug Foods—White bread,
rice, boded milk, soup, etc.
Laxative Foods--Whole wheat bread
fresh vegetables, fruits, corn products
etc.
Avoid extremes of heat and cold in
food and drink.
Chew your food your stomach has nc
teeth.
There are five types of food as fol
lows:
as!
1. Proteins. Make and repair tis
sue. Conslat of eggB, cheese, nuts,
beans, peas, flesh, fowl, lentils, etc. Very
important food elements. Concentrated
foods. Most expensive type of food
Apt to he constipating. No storage
places for them in the body. Avolc
excess,
2. Fats. Heat producers. Consist 01
cream, cheese, fat meat, butter, olives
huts, olive oil, etc. Kxcess fats delay
stomach digestiou.
3. Carbohydrates. Knergy produc
ers. The most abundant of all food
elements. Consist of starchy foods
cereals, bread, macaroni, tigs, .raisins
dates, fruits, etc. Starchy foods shoulu
be thoroughly cooked. Kxcess stored in
liver and muscles. Laxative tendency.
4. Sugars. Are energy producers as
found In fruits, but not cane, beet, or
maple sugar. Require but little or no
digestion. All fruits, raisins, dates, figs
etc.
5. Mineral salts. Nerve stimulants
und bone builders. Small but impor
tant part of human sustenance. Greens
lettuce, cereals, vegetables, fruits In
general. Spinach and tomatoeb rich In
iron. Baked foods contain more salts
than boiled foods.
Ill health means misery: therefore to
guard one’s own health and to make
the community healthy contributes
directly towards the world's happiness
During the first year of President Wil
son's administration, there was much
anxiety lest he should break down. Of
late his health seems to be better
largely because he takes better care ol
himself, fie not only takes abundant
exercise, but he takes plenty of sleep
and wants nine hours. He is a Arm
believer In the simple life. H0 seldom
remains up later than 11 o’clock, and
e\fn on the night *f his inauguration
it is said that he excused himself at
10:30 and retired, so the orders are
"lights out” at eleven-—a contrast do
the midnight lights often burning to
two and three o’clock in the morning
when President Taft was in the White
House.
A correspondent asks about sneez
ing. Sneezing may be due to a number
of causes. Sunlight will cause sneezing
also the pollen of certain plants. There
are few people who will not sneeze in
the presence of dust. When one has i
cold sneezing is due to nature attempt
ing1 to cure. Sneezing generates heat foi
wurming the blood and preventing you
taking more cold, to help relieve the
cold you have and so does shivering
une does not sneeze with his nose
but with the entire body. During the
act every muscle of the body gives a
jump, a sort of spasm that warms the
entire system. When sneezing “as a
cold symptom” seizes a person, a few
deep breathing exercises will often help
to check the attack.
M. N. writes- "Why does everybody
try to have the light over the left
shoulder when they read?"
Answer: This Is a fact easily demon
strated. Try the following and you will
never forget it.
Take a pencil and paper and try to
write while in such a position that the
light will fall from the right side. The
shadow of the hand or pencil or both
is thrown on the paper in such a way
as partly to cover the characters one
is making. This necessitates a closer
view point and a conscious strain on
the eyes. Now let the position of the
writer be reversed so that the light
falls on the work from the left side
He will notice that the shadows fall
away from the work he Is doing and
leaves the field unobscured. In mak
ing the change he cannot' help but
notice the feeling of ease that is ex
periencd by the eyes. This applys to
any other kind of near work in which
the fingers work under the guidance ol
the eyes. The fact should be remem
bered Inp lanning school rooms, work
rooms, offices nndp laces where steary
close work is to be performed.
M. W. S. asks for treatment in diar
rhoea of infants.
Answer: Little children with infantile
diarrhoea have been cured by interna!
baths of salt or sea water, a method
which has been used in England and
France with great success. Internal
baths of hot water are quite effective
in stomach and bowel troubles in either
babies or grown people.
'
THERE IS NO JINGO SENTIMENT.
If any evidence la required to show
how little war fever there U in this
country, the sinking of the Leelanaw
• will supply it. Were we looking for
trouble the Incident could easily be
magnified. But we are not looking for
trouble, and practically the whole so
called anti-German press has been at
the greatest pains to show that the
wrong is merely a technical one.
In an ago when it is customary to
denounce the press, It is fine to notice
the calm and intelligence with which
the newspapers prevented the affair
from adding fuel to the Are. Were
American newspapers jingo, the Leela
naw was their opportunity.
Their restraint is slgniAcant also for
'* a greater reason. It emphasizes the sin
» cerity of the American attitude. If Ger
many had not destroyed Ufa wantonly
wa should willingly have argued with
her and made no threats. The Leelanaw
case is one in which there is genuine
room for difference of opinion, and
Americans, even In their present tem
per, are glad to recognize the differ
ence.
The event proves also that we are
not protesting against tho use of sub
marines, nor trying to deprive Germany
of what she calls her most "effective”
weapon; we are asking her to do in the
case of all ships what she did In the
case of the Anglo-Callfornian and the
Leelanaw. Wo are asking her to stop
them and search them and save the
lives of crew and passengers. We may
dispute her right to destroy an Amer
t ,can ship, but wo should never raise
that dispute into a cause tor war.

WORLD PEACE PLANS
From the great number of plans sug
gested for the permanent peace of the
world are gradually taking shape the
basic principles that are likely to gov
ern a permanent international peace
organization. There is to be. in some
form, a world court for the settlement
of international disputes; there is to be
a conciliation commlslon; there is to
be international warrant of integrity
of territory of the nations. Just what
form the enforcement of the decrees ot
a world court may take is a matter for
amicable adjustment in the future.
The end of the present war will find
tho nation in a mood to agree without
demur to any reasonable permanent
peace plans. Almost anything will be
better than the wholesale destruction
of property and exhaustion of resources
that is now going on. England, but
lately the world’s banker, is now using
its credit to provide for its necessities
Germany Is straining its resources to
the limit in company with every other
war nation. There will be strong rea
sons for avoiding a recurrence of such
wholesale destruction.
The suggestion of General Harrison
Gray Otis for a world court for the
settlement of international disputes has
met with general favor, and It forms
the central idea of almost every other
peace plan. His suggestion for an in
ternational navy and army to enforce
the decrees of a world court is not so
popular. There are manyt students of
the situation who believe the decrees
of the high court would be best en
forced by a trade boycott against an
•outlaw” nation, rendering it helpless
without loss of life by armed force.
Former 1'resident William Howard
Taft, speaking recntly at Portland, fav
ors the enforcement of Joint militant
measures against an outlaw nation.
Five or six of the greater nations will
ultimately complete an organization on
ently so well supported by the accom
the general lined of a world court ol
settlement and conciliation. What form
tlie enforcemnt of lie decrees may take
may be confidently reserved for future
settlement.
Human misery and destruction ol
property are reaching the limit In the
present war, and the world will have
rio more of It. Peace, when It comes
Is likely to endure Indefinitely, undet
a broad plan of International control
that will work for the territorial Integ
rity and welfare of all.
