CAN We LIVE WITHOUT COOKS

A professor Of the Sheffield Sclerr
tiilc school at Yale has proved, to his
own satisfaction. that we oil eat too
much. He has conducted d series Of
experiments On Yale professors, on
students and United States soldiers,
for a good many months. which show
that the food OF all these classes can
be reduced BY about half without re-.
dnelng the weight. strength or effect
~iveness of the subjects. That would
be a fine way out OF the ~perplexities
brought to most Of us by the steadily
rising prices Of foods. The meat
trust, the hen trust and the market
gardner seem TO have ~conspired to
get the last cent OF the salaried work
cr's pay. II we were content to put
ourselves on Professor Chittendcn's
system Of diet we might reduce our
grocer and butcher bills by half and
save money enough to go TO Europe,
or perhaps to the opera.

Joe Chamberlain's tariff scheme is
coming along" His commission OF
business men has reported plan
which viii now come before the coun-
try for discussion. The idea is 20 use
the proposed British tariff as means
OF forcing the United States and other
higher tariff countries to lower their
rates on British goods. II is also hoped
that the colonies will enter into the
preferential tariff scheme. although
there is as yet no evidence that they
will be willing to do this.
