Dietary experts warn people, espe.
cially city dwellers against the constant
use Of artificial preparations and modi:
fications of food. For continued use
these are inferior. to- ordinary food
cooked in the usual way. It Is easier
to use cereals that require no. cooking,
or are prepared by merely pouring on
boiling water; soups that need only to
be diluted and heated, etc., but In q
very short time the body suffers fol
lack of proper nourishment. It is
certain that the corner delicatessen
shop is responsible for great many
starved; bodies. Children, especially,
need solid food, hygienically cooked.
They should be given the kind Of food
that requires them to use their teeth.

The Relative Strength Of the Belilgcr.
snts-The Probable Result.
Editor Press and Banner:
The immediate cause Of the war was
Russia's refusal to comply with the
terms of the treaty entered into by all
the great world powers with China Ia
1902. By the terms Of the Pekin
treaty Russia was allowed to keep
enough troops In Manchuria to pro-
tect her men while. at work on. the
great railroad she was. building to
Port Arthur. The time set for the
completion of the railroad was October
i, 1908. After October l. 1903, she was
to relinquish' military possession of
Manchuria and only keep enough
troops there to protect her railroad in
terests. Instead of Withdrawing from
Manchuria, she continued to reinforce
her army there. Japan protested, and
politely requested Russia to comply
with the terms of the Pekin agree
ment. Russia played her game of
bluff and deception for some time.
Finally, Japan presented her ulti-
matum, giving Russia the choice of
complying with her demands, or war.
Russia refused, hence the war.
THE RELATIVE. sTENGFH OF THE
- COMBATANTS.
AS to territory Japan is to Rus
sia as Cuba, Hayti, Jamaica and
Porto Rico. is to the United States
and Canada. AS to population, Rus
sia has two to one. The discrepancy
in population is more than Offset by
Japan's concentrated position and con-
tiguity to the scene of active opera
tions, and her superior transportation
facilities. Russia's population is scat
tered over her vast empire, and her
transportation is bad: And after she
has gathered her farces'in camp, they
will be three thousand miles from the
scene Of conflict, with only one-half
equipped railroad to depend on for
transportation. AS to munitions of
war, provisions, clothing and money,
Japan is much stronger. At the be-
ginning of hostilities the naval prepa-
rations in Corean waters were about
equal.
The actual test has demonstrated,
however, that Russia is no match for
Japan on water. The Jap has demon
started that he is past master in the
art of modern naval warfare. The
Russian has proven his utter in
capacity for modern naval war. They
can't work the terrible torpedo guns
or shoot the big guns on the great
battle ships with any accuracy.
THE -RoBABLE RESULT,
If Russia gets no clip from the out
side, she will be driven out of Man.
churia In the next ninety days. Japan
| will have an army in northern Man.
