Mime. Bernhardt has favored the

This sort of talk may have a dazzling
effect on very young men or particular
ly obtuse old bachelors unacquainted
with the everyday heroic deeds Of
women, but no man who has ever seen

organization Of closer federation with

one-half the number in the old Trade

One bit of dietetical gossip may well
cause smacking OF lips and an inno-
lccnt chucklc of delight all over the
child-world and among some hundreds
of millions of grown-ups. After eXper-
imcnt ana observation in the German
army sugar has been officially recon-
mcndcd as part of the food Of sol
diers. 1t not only helps to increase
their weight. but during long marches
it diminshes hunger and thirst, and
wards off the effects Of heat and ex-
haustion. Nevertheless, there are med
ical writer's of high authority who aid
wise against the use of manufactured
sugar and suggest that we take our
necessary share Of saccharine matter
IN those combinations which are FUR
nished by natures own laboratory,
such as dates, figs raisins, etc.
