 With veiw to seeing that our bodies get the best kind of nutrition. science is weighing and measuring everything we eat-the lunches our children carry to .school, the food we get at home. and the meals served us at hotels, restaurants.- and quick lunch counters says the Wash- irgtnn Post. Hardly day goes by that the diet experts do not advise us that our stonaehs and pocketbooks would be bet ter off if we ate less of some kind of food or abandoned 1t altogether. { Sandwiches are in demand wherever large amounts of sugar and alcohol are consumed. The latter lead to lowering of the protein in the diet. which can be partly made up for by the ally Yinous sandwich. M
 Still another reason for the increased consumption of sandwiches is fouf;. ::s the growing tendency among many classes of the population to eat outside the home. The sandwich naturally gets prominent place on the menu Of the public eating house. where economy oi time in serving and eating food Is en ira. portant consideration.
 In slice of bread 100 calories or heat units are distributed among the different food materials as follows: Protein. 1o1: sat 8: carbohydrate, S6.

 The proportions in the ordinary meat sandwich are: Protein. Is; fat. 5s, and carbohydrate. 32.
 But even though sandwiches did not i. contain an excess of animal food or did not by their concentrated form encour- age us to ruin our digestions by eating too fast there is still another good reason why we should not make them regular article of diet

On another side is the Presidents palace. or the White House of the Bolivian republic It was there that I was received by President Montes The building is being improved, and the ma sons are now working at it. I went up staircase made of the purest while ala baster from the quarries of the Desagua- dero river, not far away. and the mag nificent parlor in which I was received was decorated with statues and paintings.
 Just next to this palace building is the La Paz cathedral. It has been in course of construction for two generations and more, and parts of it have been torn down again and again. The walls are now about 75 feet in height, and there some signs of their approaching com pletion. This cathedral is being built through tax upon all the goods that come across Lake Titicaca. If am right ly informed the levy is 10 per cent, and it is to be continued as long as the work of building goes on. There are some unSind skeptics who allege that the building will never be completed, as the makers are desirous of continuing the receipts from these imports. As to this know not, but just now they doing some work that seems useless, and the workmen are not pushing the job.
 The business of La Paz is far better than it has been in the past. Many of the stores that formerly were mere caves in the walls have put in plate glass win dows, and large business buildings have gone up that would not be out of place in a town of the same size in our coun- try. There are many fine residences on tteI,f, xlt like French villas They are of two stories with very high ceilings. They are made of brick covered with stucco, and usual are of all coors of the rainbow Others of the new residences are of Span ish architecture. running around patios in which are fountains and trees and beau- tiful flowers. Such buildings you find in the heart of the city. As you walk the streets you can look in through the front doors and catch a glimpse of the gar dens. The rooms are built around patios, and nearly every one of them has a beau tful view. Many of the patos are used as the storehouses and stables for the donkeys and liamas that bring in he crops and other things from the country estates of their owners. Many of the business buildings were once residences, and their patios are now lumber yards filled with old boxes.
 Some of the older stores are not un- like those I described in Cuzco. They are little more than caves lighted only from the front, the doors being set into the walls. Many of the people live on the second floors over such stores; the windows of which have balconies extending out over the street.
