In the foregoing paragraph 10 the
conclusion of the government experts
as to the value Of the peanut in COM
parison with the other standard arti'
cles of diet commonly supposed to be
the most nutritious. showing the pea.
nut to be the most economical OF all
foods. But It does not follow that one
should live on peanuts exclusively.
/ receive many requests for advice
as to how to live on peanuts" My
experiments have beef conducted with
a view to determining the relative
values Of foods, under varying condl'
tions Of work, and in abnormal condi'
lions Of health and growth. In one OF
the experiments with peanuts which
accidentally became public, the essen
tial fact demonstrated was that pea
nuts should not be roasted and that
the principle here involved has a
highly important bearing upon the ef'
fects of cooking in general, which we
have already considered.

Salesman Cannot Be Taught How to

The evening class which has been

Sugar. especially fruit sugar. ns In

in preferring, for instance, olive oil

Boiled cabbage, again, is an expen'

ECONOMICS OF EATING

An army marches on It's stomach.
This Is q we'll established principle in
warfare. A hungry man cannot fight
long. and q general whose brain Is
clouded by autointoxication cannot
conceive brilliant or wise movements.
Every nation considers carefully
what ration will best support the man
behind the gun-at least In war time
and some have won great victories
by superior feeding. notably the JAP
anese. in the recent contest with
Russia.
The Roman gladiators were fed on
rye and wheat, and the modern ath-
lete is very carefully fed by the scien-
tific trainer. Only the average man
who has the battle OF life to fight gets
no dietetic training.

Suppose I eat for dinner fried pota-

ants from the various schools appear
to be very evenly matched and the
task of picking winner is a very
difficult one.
The six local high schools-Liclx,
Wilmerding, Cogswell. Polytechnic,
Lowell and Mission-will enter contest
ants and it is likely that Sacred Heart
will also send team. Alameda and
San Rafael have dropped out, though
every effort was made to induce them
to take part. Lack of talent is the
reason assigned for the withdrawal of
these two schools.
Lick has a crack team this year and
the chances are that it will be the
favored one, though the others will
also look up strong. The events will
consist of the usual So 100, 220, 440
and $50 yard contests with the GUS
tomary relay teams. Practice is on
daily at the various baths around the
city and the men seem to be in good
shape
In addition to the league champion
ship events there will be a match be-
tween a team from the University of
California and a picked aggregation
from the Olympic club. This should
result in some good sport The crack

tuition will also give some exhibitions

Dugdale Looks
For Peace In
Baseball Camp
Seattle Magnafe Hopes to See
Northwestern Team in Port
land Next Year

Manager d. Z. Dugdale of the Seattle
with the Coast league. if he means
what he said yesterday. Instead, the
portly magnate from the Washington
city is striving to- do al in his power
to bring about some sort of COM
promise with the Coast league and thus
avert the war that has been threaten
ing for some time.
Dugdale's mission to San Francisco
was to see what he could do in the
way of securing a franchise for the
Portland club in the Northwest league
next season. Dugdale realizes that the
circuit of the Northwest league will be
broken up If Portland is not allowed
to remain a member of the league S
family. He is willing TO make other
concessions to get Portland back.
With this end in view Dugdase had
a long talk with Frank n. Ish, one Of
the principal stock holders of the Coast
league. Ish is also desirous of peace.
In addition he is great advocate
Of the eight club circuit for the Coast
league. Evidently he is very willing
to meet Dugdale half way, for the lat
ter left for the north last night very
wen SdilSutu.
However, much will depend upon
what the warhorse of the league, Cal
Ewing, has to say about it. Ewing is
admittedly one of the best baseball
men in the business and the king of all
politicians in that line. Though presi-
dent no longer. Ewing's word will
count in every issue that is brought
up. and until he gets back from Homo
lulu nothing can be greed upon.
I'VE have our own ideas and the
Coast league people have theirs" said
Dugdale. However. 1 think that we
can manage to bridge over the little
river that separates us and eventually
come together. What the Northwest
league wants now is the privilege of
putting its team in Portland again next
year. This is up to the directors of
the Coast league.
L do not want war and l know that
none of my associates do. War is bad
for baseball. It costs a lot of money
on both sides and it tends to i1jure
the game. But if it comes to a fight
the Northwest lea que will have all the
better of it, for the reason that it will
be fighting on its own grounds, while
the Coast league viii be compelled to
spend its money to carry the war
