Mancburia. This fact was largely re-
spousible for the defeat OF RUSSIAN

This change in the line OF defense on

The reason for the change was pure

Food taken into our bodies does not
for the most part pass through as fuei
alone. but also serves to build up COM
pIex living material which in turn is
perpetually breaking down again INTO
nonliving matter. There is a double
process continually going on in meta
bolism-a building up into higher and
higher compounds in the making OF
which energy is absorbed and cor
responding breaking down of these
higher compounds into simpler ones
and into waste products, during Whlcn
process energy is freed. For these
reason we cannot live on carbon

| hinations of sixteen elements that we
know and undoubtedly some that we
do not vet know are necessary to
maintain the human body and are
therefore foods Hence multitudes are
starving in the midst of plenty ana
we make futile efforts to cure the
result.
From this brief survey it Will be
seen that human life is a highly com
MEX proposition and that If we desire
to remain in the life current it is ad
visable that we give the matter some
personal thought and learn not to IN
terfere so recklessly with the tunda
mental requirements,

WALKING TO BE WELL.

Insomnia, "biliousness' and "rheu-
matismr are a trinity OF widely dls-
trfbuted troubles inextricably associat-
ed in the public mind with Dram
work" food and indigestion. AS Is
usually the case in conclusions reached
through purely empirical chahheis'
the association is substantially cor
rect, but the theory for the correction
of the distressing conditions Is wrong
Probably the most destructive idea
we have is that for every physical
distress there exists some miraculous
remedy our problem as we see II be-
ing solely to find the man wise enough
to determine correctly the cause OIL
our trouble and advise the proper rem
edy-and in our belief II must always
be something to take, to rub in, or 10
squirt into our bodies through mol
low needle.
We know that everything in TINS
universe is in constant mutation, that
decay follows reproduction and repro
duction follows decay in an endiesS
chain of sequence. the Encouragement
evolving in an orderly way more COM
pick and higher types through uni
versal centralizing tendency, and that
we are but a part of this endless lie
chain. All animal life is perpetuaily
taking in food consisting OF some
eighty elements, built up by the uni
versal energy. Now. since energy mas
been consumed in the building up OF
the compounds, it will again be freed
if they are broken down or split into
simpler compounds; and we find II &c
be a fact that during their whole HE
animals work and give off heat aho
that when they cease to do these t"e
things they sicken and die
The energy spent in work and hea
is derived from the potential energy
stored in the food and throughout the
entire process neither matter nor en-
ergv is either gained or lost. Th'
fundamental principles of the eonser

PRINT CLOTH
MARKET DULL
Sales Were Light, Owing to
the Promise of War
in Europe.
rBy Telegraph 70 The Tribune.


Fall River, Aug. Trade in the
print cloth market was dull last week
and sales were light. The steadily
falling cotton market, an effect Of the
promise of war in Europe, carried cot
ton goods prices down. Manufactur-
ers realized that this was inevitable
and were willing 10 accept somewhat
lower prices for goods, although the
decline in cotton prices has not reach
ed them in a reduction in the cost Of
cotton for use. Manufacturers were
not willing to accept prices which some
bids carried, for they we're prices in
many cases which meant actual losses
10 the mills. When the war news Of
Friday brought the slump in the cotton
market, cotton goods prices dropped
TO figures so low that manufacturers
had no choice, but to give up all idea
OF selling and turned their thoughts
in prompt action toward curtailment.
This proportionately reduced stocks.
Inquiry during the week was mod
crate at best in the amounts of goods
asked for, whatever prices may have
been offered. Spots and nearby de-
liveries wore mostly wanted. The de-
mand was for wide and medium wide
goods. The situation in narrow cloths
remains unchanged, there being practi-
cally no call Cor narrow widths last
week. These goods have been inactive
for several months and indications
are that they will remain quiet till
buyers turn their attention from the
wider cloths.
Total sales last week are estimated

AMERICAN SHOES
FOR FRENCH ARMY
Manufacturers Receive Requests
TO Tender Bids for Big
Contracts.

The French government is in the
market for American shoes for it's
army. So far as is known, the first
American firm 10 receive a request to
tender bids is the George T.. Keith
Company, OF Campbello, Mass, which
has Offices here This company is in re-
ceipt Of an inquiry, through its Paris
branch. asking il il is in position TO
send several hundred thousand pairs of
shoes, deliveries 70 begin at this port
within ten days from the date of sign
ing contracts.
Large stocks of goods carried in the
company's Paris house have been taken,
and il is understood that consignments
now on the way will also be given TO
the French government.
The Keith company is not the only
one 10 be favored In the shoe district,
where some Of the jobbing houses were
open yesterday, il was stated that the
trade had been sounded. and that there
was no question but that some large
contracts would be placed
The manufacturers most likely 10
profit By these orders are those of
Brockton, Mass, the centre in the
United States for the manufacture OF
mems shoes; Rochester. where many
fine shoes are made, and perhaps ST.
Louis.
