GERMAN MILITARY SYSTEM
FACTOR IN THE EDUCATIONAL
AND TECHNICAL TRAINING.
Interesting Address by President
Hadley Of Yale at Brooklyn
Academy of Music.

NEW YORK, November 1.-Germany
military system as a factor in the educa-
tional and technical training of her men
was discussed last night by President
Arthur T. Hadley of Yale University in an
address before a large audience gathered
under the auspices of the Brooklyn Insti-
tute of Arts and Sciences at the Academy
of Music.
THE empires military SYSTEM. de-
clared President Hadley, originally
adopted as a disagreeable necessity has
become the central factor in German pub
lie education and the main cause of Ger
manys Industrial advance"
In his address President Hadley said:
There are two distinctive features in
the German educational system of today.
One is the extraordinary value set upon
technical training of every kind; the
other is the Importance given to military
service as a matter of education for the
arts of peace no less than for those OF
war
THE higher education of Germany is no
longer idealistic. 1t is intensely practi-
cal. The Realschule, or scientific high
school, Is today placed in all essential re-
spects on a level with the classical gym
nasium The technical schools have been
extended and developed, until they form
worthy rivals of the schools of law and
medicine.
Effect Upon the Individual.
mo less striking than the effect OF
technical training upon the conduct and
character of business is the effect of mill
tary training upon the conduct and char
acter of the individual
I'm 1860 most of the Germans regarded
compulsory military service as a rather
unnecessary evil. Today you will find it
generally said that the military system,
originally adopted as a disaggeeable ne
cessty, has become the central factor IN
German public education and the main
cause of Germany's Industrial advance.
1.-The majority of intelligent and patrl-
otto Germans will today tell you that the
German army gives the German nation
habits of discipline. cleanliness and efti-
cheney which cannot be obtained in other
ways, and that two years of withdrawal
from active industry is a very cheap price
to pay for training which makes a man
a more efficient worker and a more use

ONES FOOD
WHEN REDUCING WEIGHT
Fruits Without Sweetening, Lean Beef, Mutton and
Fow1-Drink No Liquids With Meals.

while eating, SO much the better. IL not
that which is taken should be slipped.
when a small quantity will be found salts
flying.
There may be meat for luncheon or sup
per- a piece of toast prepared as already
told, eggs. raw tomato or some apple
sauce without sugar. The best way of
eating the eggs is to poach the whites.
putting aside the yolks. Oranges. grape
fruit and raw apples are good.
Taking liquids with meals should be
thoroughly understood. Nothing will aid
more in taking off flesh than to eat with
out drinking. The best method is to take
the first drink half an hour after eating
and the last one half an hour before a
meal. In this way the gastric juices are
not diluted when food is in the stomach
and the work of digestion goes on more
quickly. At least three pints of water a
day must be taken into the system.
Regulate Quantity of Food.
1t is impossible to give the exact guam
tity of food that each person may take.
for it depends upon the physique. Enough
to satisfy hunger without giving sense
of repletion is a good rule.
The regimen Of an old physician for re-
ducing flesh includes rules of conduct as
it were. Only seven hours sleep night
were allowed, and this was taken in a
hard bed Every morning a salt bath
was taken. using handful of rock salt to
an ordinary basin of water, the tempera-
ture Of which was that of the room. Rub
bling was done with a coarse towel. Lying
down through the day was prohibited.
Any exercise which will cause perspira-
ton is to be regarded as part of the treat
ment, and, lastly, every person trying to
reduce flesh should be weighed once a
week. noticing if there is decrease or in
crease. and letting this govern the food
supply.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-11-11

To starye ones self into thinness by
dieting to reduce flesh is weakening.
Therefore, before giving dietary list II
should be stated that enough food should
be eaten to satisfy hunger, while the
other extreme. that of loading the stom-
ach. should be avoided.
Three meals a day are required and Tor
breakfast there may be meat. either lean
beef, mutton, cold fowl or iamp- fofh'
bacon and veal are prohibited 1hose
who do not like meat in the morning may
take fish. such as cod, haddock haiiout'

Ladies and the Commons.

From the London Chronicle.
Speeches have been made by ladies from
the floor of the house of commons long
before the surprising outburst of Mrs
Symons. About thirty years ago one Of
our leading provincial newspapers record
ed the following incident as taking place
on a Wednesday: when the black
gowned speaker left the chair at o'clock
bevy of ladies began to play at parlia-
ment upon the floor of the house One in
white attire took the chair and looked
charming in it. The others either took
the clerks seats or stood at the table or
sat in the members seats on the minis
terial benches. Not one of them had a
fancy to betake her 10 the cold shades OF
opposition until it was suggested that we
required an opposition TO carry out our
system of government The officials of
the house seemed quite delighted with
the pretty little comedy. and few MEM
bers. still lingering about, seemed to see
in the incident a foretaste of things to
come" !.

The latest and one of the most pracu-

Those can be secured in taneta ana

They are fashioned on the order or the
accordion pleated skirt, cut circular over
the hips with seams down the back and
the front only.
They fit the hips smoothly for depth
of six inches, and the material is accor-
dion pleated to the very edge. Not knife
pleated, be 1t understood, but quite deep
ly accotdion-pleated, most desirable
feature. because while the goods is per-
fectly smooth over the hips the pleats
below prevent the outlines of the form
from being too much in evidence.
The pleating being deep stands out
and holds the gown away from the fig

clinging lines. The pleats expand with
the wearers movements, and. of course.
the dress is carried with the folds of the

Excellent for Windy Days.
Thus directoire petticoats will be ex-

because, being made to set SO close to the

These garments are beautifully made,
and some OF the more expensive models
are exceedingly pretty. One seen In a

Mohair Skirts in Directoire Style.
A neat skirt Of black mohair, taken
into the belt without any fullness, was
pleated to the edge and then finished
with a narrow. circular self ruffie and
another, in black and white checked
mohair, showed a box-pleated ruching
pinked OH the edges with black taffeta
Such models will give much better serv-
ice than the conventional underskirt, for
there is nothing to catch the heel when
walking. nothing to fray, and dust can
be easily wiped away.
The pleating is done so thoroughly
that the manufacturer guarantees the
pleats will not lose their form as long
as the garment wears. This applies to
the mohair petticoats only and not to
those of taffeta.

Why Quality is Reduced

Just now the United States laws don't protect
you and your grocer against weak, Evaporated
Milk, because the standard has been relaxed.
The law is not enforced.
There is much competition and great tempta
ton to reduce the quality SO the wholesale prices
can be reduced.
Van Camps Milk has not been reduced in
price (your grocer will tell you that and we
positively guarantee you the quality has not
and will not be reduced
Quality is what you must have and we know
it is wise to give it to you. So quality is what
you can depend upon in Van Camps Milk.

How Quality is Reduced

1t is just question of evaporation. One
third of the water of raw milk can be taken out
by evaporation or twice as much water can be
taken out. The resulting product of both proc
esses will look and taste much alike

the milk for use.
