sides continue to be in proportion to
the fierceness OF the battle, which
means that they are greater than
those of any battle since war was de-
clared.

held their own, after the infliction of
very heavy losses on the Germans,

TOMMIE ATKINS FOOD
DISCUSSED FROM THE
SCIENTIFIC STANDPOINT

London, Oct 27.-Thom;ls Atkins
eats 5000 calories day. Formerly
he had only 1000, but the army nledl-
cal board said it was not enough and
had the war department raise the ra-
ton by a thousand calories.
A calory is not in itself a food or
a measure of food in the ordinary
sense. A calory is a unit Invented
not by cooks but by scientists. 1t is
heat unit considered as fuel for
the human machine. Its equivalent in
mechanical energy is 3,0n7 foot
pounds. A soldiers rations' for one
day should, if fully utilized, yield 49,
600, 600 foot-pounds a day or ten times
the muscular energy displayed in the
average man in a hard days work
The other nine-tenIths goes into waste,
since the human body converts only
a sixth of its fuel into muscular
energy, the unused energy turning
into superfluous heat. This is doing
better than a steam engine, which
converts only an eighth of its fuel
power into mechanical energy. N

INVESTIGATION OF MEAT
EXPORTING BUSINESS IN
AUSTRALIA GOING ON

Sydney, Australia, Oct. 27.--The
governmental inquiry into the meat
export business, with particular refer
ence to the activities of the American
packing companies in hearing large
number of witnesses in Queensland,
where the Swifts of Chicago have es-
tablished themselves under the name
of the Australian Meat Export CON-
pany, is now hearing witnesses in this
city. a.
The tenor of the testimony has been
that the packers in the United States
have more or less intimate relations
with several firms in this state and
in Queensland; that their arrange
ments with these firms are not Of
recent origin, and that there is not on
the surface at least evidence to show
that the packers are working the
Australian field in cohesion, and with
the exception of the Swift company
the alleged members of the "beef
trust do not intend to set up plants
in Australia at present.
The royal commissioner has had be-
fore him as a witness this week Sid
ney Kidman, known as the Seattle
King Of Australia. He testified that
the total area of crown leaseholds
under his control was some 30,700,-
coo acres. He himself owned over
100000 sheep and 100000 cattle, and
was interested in thousands upon
otherranches than his own. In answer
to the question put by the govern
ment's lawyer he said he was not in
any way interested in any meat pack
ing or meat selling company in the
United States.

shippers can send cotton to Germany
and Austria without interference by
Great Britain. Arrangements are be-

followed an explosion of gas, which
occurred five minutes before the
miners were ready to begin work
About so men had not entered the
shaft, but others had gone down and
had scattered to the various WORK
