THE FOURTH r.

1t used to be the three Rs.
Modern education has added anoth-
er, however, that Of Recreation.
Few schools today fail to recognize
the force of that maxim that "all work
and no play makes Jack a dull boy"
The old regime to which OUT fathers
are wont to revert occasionally as be-
ing superior did not look upon play
as a recuperative process. A display
of natural %exuberance within the do
main of the school authority meant a
1ogging. y
Modern education is realizing more
and more the value of physical train
ing as a stimulus to mental develop
ment Most ~curricula recognize it as
indispensable.
One has only to take up a school
catalogue to be convinced that physi-
cal training is as important a subject
as algebra, history or mathematics.
The prim prudery Of the girls
boarding school has vanished. "Prunes
prisms and appricats" as a word ex
ercise ITO induce a graceful poise OF
the lips has vanished with all the 9th
er methods through which to teach "a
little ingenuity and artifice."
Every modern school has it's gym
nasium, hockey, baseball and football
teams. Girls participate in many OF
the outdoor sports and the colleges
for women have as elaborate a depart.
ment of athletics as the mems insti'
tutions. -.
No one now disputes the educational
value of physical exercise. In this
direction modern education has taker
great strides and it's attitude is es
pecially rational toward physical de
velopment. ."....
Exercise causes a wholesome break
in the routine Of study and the best
antidote for listlessness in the school
room is a few minutes of recreation
in the open air. We are putting edu-
cation nor and more on a practical
basis. 1t is possible that accuracy is
satisfied in certain non-essentials, but
the schools are turning out boys and
girls more physically fit to cope with
the battles Of life.

SUBSISTENCE IN WAR.

Napoleon never said a truer thing
when he declared an army trav-
els on it's stomach. It is as vital to
keep that organ we'll supplied as it
is to keep the powder dry. The ex-
cessive cost of wal really is the price
of subsistence. If the commissary is
not we'll organized, the fighting ma
chine soon becomes deranged.
The present war will be a crucial
test for the modern war dietecian.
Usually the commissary is in charge
of a dietetic specialist and the gener-
ais in guaging the fighting strength OF
their men lean heavily upon his skill.
In discussing this phase of the war
the Scientific American makes this in
teresting analysis:
"Rations," as the daily food supply
of the soldier is known, vary in each
country according to racial tastes or
climatic conditions. Thus, the meat
ration of France is quite different
from that of Germany. For the pur-
pose of comparison we have taken the
daily feed ration Of the German army,
which is as follows:
Seven hundred and fifty grams OF
fresh bread, or 500 grams OF biscuit;
375 grams of raw meat (fresh or
salted), or 200 grams Of smoked beef,
pork, mutton, bacon Or meat sausage;
1875 grams of rice (groats), or ESQ
grams Of pulse or flour, or 1900 grams
Of potatoes; rs grams Of salt; %
grams of coffee Goasted), or 80 grams
OF coffee (green), or 8 grams Of tea
and Hserams of sugar.
We have shown the supply for a
week compared with the huge mass OF
Cologne Cathedral. The result is very
surprising, for we have a loaf Of bread
weighing 6O,13O,0OO pounds and 800
feet high, which bulks well alongside
the lofty edifice. Meat is represented
by a side of bacon, but in practice this
might be vsffed by sausage, smoked
beef, fresh beef, salt meat or mutton.
: The bacon is 100 feet long and would
weigh 16,O30,O00 pounds. Potatoes are
the heaviest item, weighing 120,33O,
600 pounds, and the gigantic tubel
would be 1873 feet high and Of a pro-
%portionate girth. The bag would be
two feet less in length, while the SUI
gar bag would measure 80 feet high
and would weigh 1865 900 pounds
Such amounts of food seem almost
incredible.
OF course, the figures given are fol
the standard ration, which is probably
a very different thing from that actu
ally being consumed along the great
battle formation, for there is great
hexibility as to the food to be used
lt is possible that pemmican "a con.
densed meat product) has entered into
the ration very largely, but we viii
not get much accurate information I'm
til the close Of the war. The kaiser
has always expressed a lively interest
In the soldiers food, and he has moi
infrequently ridden up to the felt
bakeries and sampled the product Of
ftheir ovens.
Some idea Of the enormous expense
OF the war will be gained when it is
stated that the daily cost Of provisions
for the combined armies would be
s12,5OO,O0O without the expense Of
transportation, which would be $4,000,
900 more each day. These figures were
based on a comparison of prices od
some years ago SO that fifteen pei

linen. The sooner you begin the
easier the work will be. So the
remedy should be applied as soon as
possible after the mishap occurs.
If the nature of the stain is known
and a solvent is at hand, removal will
be simple process. If a solvent can
not be found, then something which
will form soluble substance must
be sought. If this fails, the last pos
sibility is bleaching agent, but this
should be used only as a last resort,
as it will remove the color and may
weaken the fabric if it is not used
with great care.
When cleaning spots run a thread
around them so as to be able to find
them easily after the garment is wet.
Always use some absorbent material
under the spot so that the loosened
dirt will not simply spread. Before
using any cleaner try it first on the
inside of seam to see whether it
will change the color.
Alcohol, ether, chIoroform, car
bona, gasoline and naptha soap and
water are all good solvents for grease.
Gasoline is the most practical re-
agent for use when the entire article
needs cleaning. 1t must be used
away from the fire to avoid any pos
sibility of serious accidents. Cover
the garment well with gasoline in a
vessel that can be tightly covered, set
vessel in a dish of hot water and let
it stand several hours or over night.
Especially soiled places may require
a little rubbing. Rinse in clean gaso-
line and hang in the open air. The
soiled gasoline should not be thrown
away, as the impurities will settle to
the bottom and the clean gasoline
may be poured from the top.
The best solvents for paint and
varnish are turpentine, alcohol and
ammonia.
