dren. II fed to children under /
years of age or 10 those troubled
with stomach disturbance, they
should also be strained. When the
various cereals are used in the grain,
merely hulled and unpulverized,
they should be soaked in cold water
for several hours and then boiled
from two to three hours.
Crackers, in all of which starch is
the chief ingredient, may I've given
to children after they are is months
old. If eaten between meals, they
are best taken with milk.
One reasonfor the frequent faulty
digestion of starchy foods lies in III.
sufficient mastication. The actual
digestion of starchy articles should
begin in the mouth by a process of
thorough mastication; otherwise,
since starch is not acted upon in the
stomach, they remain practically
unaltered and undigested until they
have passed from the stomach into
the intestine, where digestion of the
starchy matter recommences.
Starchy foods, if imperfectly mas.
ticated previous to their introduc-
tion into the stomach, are liable to
partial fermentation, which inter.
fares with fha ar+ivo d;ooot;or ~
other articles of diet.
Starch is demanded by the system
for supplying heat and muscular en-
ergy. Outdoor workers can conse-
quently utilize a large quantity of
starchy food. Oatmeal for example,
forms an excellent article of every
day diet for them, while those whose
occupations keep them sedentary OF
within doors should partake of il
sparingly. Youths Companion.

Meat In London.

1t is asserted that if no American
meat were imported into the London
market for two days the price of all
kinds of meat would go up, and that
if the American supply were entire
ly cut off famine prices would soon
be in force, SO large is the quantity
consumed.

THE BEEF COURTS REPORT.
Stated Tint 1t VIII Find Miles
Charges Not Proved.

New York, April 2o.--A special dis
patch to The Mail and Express says.
1t is expected that the report of the
beef court of inquiry win be ready be
fore the end of the month. The court is
closing up it's testimony now, but it has
already begun its report.
The report will state that the charge
that the refrigerated beef was embalm-
ed is not proved. 1t will also state that,
while the commanding general was JUS
titled in telling the war investigating
committee that. in his opinion, chem
icals had been used to preserve meat,
this justification arose simply from re-
ports made to him by medical and com
missary officers,
The court will find, however that
these officers have not proved their case
and are censurable for making charges
to sustain which they had such a small
amount of evidence, all of which was of
such character as to easily impeach
or verify. These officers will also be
censured for not making reports before
the war ended.
In regard to the beef. the court will
find it was in good condition when de-
livered to the government except for
damage in transportation as affected by
the tropical climate; also that, while
timed meats are unpalatable, they are
nutritious, but should be used only as
an emergency ration to break the mo-
notony of bacon when fresh beef is not
obtainable.

THE WRECK.

Across the night gray moon fell
Through bars Of shifting cloud, to SGT
Where iron reef and white wave met
Sullenly at the doors Of he'll.
1t saw the great ships dying throe
As one with dim, drawn face, who sees
A dumb beast in its agonies,
And may not help and cannot go;
And peering still from wind wrought caves
1t watched amid the swirl and strife
Unlovely atoms, each life,
Tossed on the uproar of the waves.
Sick to the heart with fear untold
OF that mad slaughter half deserted,
1t crept behind a cloud and died.
Then the black night was icy cold.
Last out Of chaos calmly bright
Day dawned, and with greeting roar
Triumphant ocean flung to shore
His broken playthings of the night.
