1t does not by any means follow that
a good soldier will not make an eff
cient mayor, or governor. or congress
man. Nevertheless, warning is de-
manded because, in every close contest
of the near future, shrewd politicians
will put a soldier at the front. At
such a time a conscientious citizen
will view the situation most critically.
and make sure that, while planning
to honor a deserving hero, he is not
really strengthening the grip of the
objectionabl political boss.

NntrIments Tn rIalt T.fonors.

Wines and malt Hquors while con- taining a far less amount of alcohol than the distilled liquors, do contain a definite amount of nutritiye material Perhaps the best definition of beer as brewed today is that of fermented gaooharine infusion to which has been added a wholesome bitter. It consists of water alcohol, earbonio and acetic acids and bitter principles from the hop. Ac- oording to Professor Atwater's inYesti- gations, ale, beer and wine contain small quantities of nutritive material in addition to their alcohol and other con stituents That of wine consists mainly of compounds akin to carbohydrates and averages a trihe over 3 per cent of the whole weight. That of ale and beer includes. on the average, a little over one-half of per cent of protein and other nitrogenous compounds and or [ per cent of carbohydrates and allied substances \ pint lpound) of ale or beer would contain. roughly speaking about as much ct these nutritive sub stances as i f-5 ounces of bread, and a pint of wine about as much as three quarters of an ouuce of bread o-0ut- look

The oriental express, the famous train from Paris to Ccustautinople, ar rives at che Turkish capital three times a week st eertaIn hour in the after noon When tho aaln comes in. says an exchange there are always many dogs ready to receive it. Before the passen- gers have had time to sst out the dogs Jump iuto the carriages and search ey- ervw GeYa under the seats and in corners fer the scraps of luncheon left by the passengers, and when they have found all the pieces they go away. The re- markable thing is that they never come at any time except when tho oriental express is due; that they never make a mistake in the day, and always remem- Der that between Friday and Monday there are two days and not one. They pay no attention to local trains, because little or 10 food is left in them owing to the short rides the passengers take.
 Exactly this same knowledge of the time table and of the difference be- tween local and long distance trains has been noticed at the station of the Asiatio railways in soutari, across the Bosporus.
