has invented an army ration, made OF
pork and beans baked into a thin,
dark-colored biscuit, four inches long
and two wide. 1t is seasoned to taste,
and is said to be as palatable as IL
is nourishing. Mrs. Person studies
languages at vassar and took honors In
philosophy at Wellesley. She became
interested in food problems through
the work Of her sister, DR.. Grace Os-
borne, who is professor Of hygiene in
the Woman's Medical College of Chi
cago. The two women worked out to-
gether the relative values of different
kinds of nutritive substances, and the
biscuits are the result. Mrs. Person
went to Washington recently to con-
suit with the army department on a
proposition to supply the food to the
troops"

In the raging torrent. Lighting
a lantern she went away through the

1t has been discovered that 1t would
be possible to s the same calendars
every twenty years-when the dates
of the months fall on the same days
Of the week-thereby avoiding the ex-
pense of Ave almanacs for the present
century. But here is something ever
better than that. Those persons who
might be able to get hold of calendars
for the twelfth century would find the
days and dates coincident with the
present century. Again, those with a
frugal mind who have preserved the
almanacs OF the nineteenth century
will avoid an outlay for calendars OF
the century commencing Jan. /, 2201,
as the dates for the hundred years fol-
lowing will be like those OF the last
century.

the chance which the British soldiers
had OF being killed In South Africa
amounted to than 2s times the
risk they would have incurred in bar
racks in England. Thus stated, the
mortality seems small, but what must
be borne In mind is that during short
periods, say a few hours at a time dur
ing the war, almost every man has
to run risks many hundreds times as
great as those of ordinary life, and
that a half hours brush with the en-
