Some interesting experiments In the
direction OF v~egetarianism In regard
to soldiers diet are being made by the
Austrian military authorities. The va
rious commissariat departments. have
received orders to test the value Of
milk and milk products, especially
cheese, In the daily dietary OF the
troops. Skimmilk, which is usually
rather despised, Is also to be taken
into account. 1t IL suggested that re-
cruits would form a very good SUBJ
Jsct for experiment and hat they
might be given smaller rations of meat,
with Increased allowances Of vegetar
bles and pastry and buildings conn
posed OF milk and cereals. The war
Office is especially anxious to ascer-
lain how such q reformed scale OF diet
would meet the requirements Of the
troops IN mansuver and field exer-
cises. 1t IS understood that the pri-
yate soldiers are by no means enthu-
siastic about the new dietary.

NEW YORK.-New York's popula-

more than $4,000 a year through the

there are $4,000 more births annually
In this city than there are Deaths
and even If there were no .immigTa-

York still would advance amazingly In
the matter of inhabitants.
These facts have been developed in
view of a recent finding by the On.
ciel of Paris, the government gazette
OF the French republic, in which the
startling spectacle was presented Of a
death rate in excess of the birth rate.
The figures took in the five countries
OF France, Germany, England and
Wales, Belgium and Italy, and were
based on every 10000 of population.
Whereas in Germany, at the last
count, there were $50 more births than
deaths to every 10000 Inhabitants
there were in France five fewer
births than deaths.

Some people are poor because their
ideas are larger than their purses.
They think the world owes them a
living. They do not keep account Of
their expenditures. They try to do
what others expect of them, not what
they can afford The parents are eco
nomical, but the children have ex-
travagant ideas. They prefer to incur
debts rather than to do work which
they consider beneath them They risk
all their eggs in one basket when they
are not in position to watch or con-

enough to begin to save for a rainy
day when the rainy day comes. The
only thing, declares the New York

to develop fondness for smart clothes
and expensive jewelry. They do not
realize that one expensive habit may
introduce them to a whole family of
extravagant habits. On a moderate
income, they try to compete in appear
