DR.. Woods Hutchinson. III a discus.
sion of how an army is fed, points to
the fact hat the experience of army
men skaters into little bits all the
theories OF the vegetarians. 1t has
been found In actual practice that
men work. better and feel better in
every way on a diet which contains
liberal quantities Of meat. Further.
the army co,nmissariat does not go at
all on theory Of the simple life as ap-
piled to foods, for the food of an army
is as varied as cooks can make it, and
it contains about everything that can
be found o II a good hotel table, from
soup to pudding and cake. The rea-
son that the oriental nations live
largely on rice Is that they cannot at
ford wheat bread and meats. When
those accustomed to the rice diet are
fed generously on the varied foods
common to most western. peoples,
their energy and efficiency are increas-
ed very largely. On the whole, ex.
p%erience establishes the correctness Of
the old doctors injunction to eat what
you like if it agrees with you.

UNSETTLED AS EVER.

The Mexican situation seems to BIZ

revolutions in Mexico just as long as

There is nothing which will have a
more stabilizing influence on Mexico
than land ownership by the masses of
the people. Those who are kept in a
state Of virtual slavery have no in

The Great Northwest will not permit
the cry OF distress TO gu UNDECIDED.
In the making of these donations
there is nothing Of partisanship. moth
ing but sympathy for the suffering.
The case Of the Belgian people is pc
culiarly unfortunate. They had no
cause to desire war. and they did not
desire il. They sought the territory Of
no other nation. and they had no
grievance to redress by force of arms.
All that they asked was to be lot
alone. to be permitted to attend TO
their own affairs in peace. Yet Bclgi-
nm has been the scene Of some of the
~fiercest fighting Of the war. Her
roads have been ruttcd with the
wheels of foreign cannon; her fort
resses rave been shattered, her cities
sacked and given over to the flames,
her crops trampled into the earth. her
rivers clogged with the bodies of her
dead, her very soil Scared with
trenches and the craters formed by
bursting shells. With all this her old
men, her women and children, have
been brought to the point Of starva-
ton. with grim winter coming on
apace.
The Herald does not solicit dona-
for these people. 1t simply sets
forth some of their conditions, and it
knows that the people of the North
west will be glad to share with these
unfortunate little ones OF the abund-
ance with which they have been bless
