The parents Of ten-year-old boy had
so much trouble making him hear theil
calls while he was ut play that they
decided his hearing was defective. Sc
they took him to Il specialist.
The latter made several of the Ordi
nary tests. and the boy could hardly
hear word. To all appearances there
was something radically wrong with
his hearing. Shaking his head. the
specialist walked into the far corner OF
the room.
"NIy boy" he said in a voice little
above whisper, Here's nickel"
The. lad squirmed in his chair. A
grin spread over his countenance.

White Bread.

Hygienists have long called attention
to the serious consequences OF the IN
creasing popular preference for White
bread. AT present dark colored bread
is despised as peasants food In
the towns the meanest workman will
eat only white bread. The four used
for making this bread is obtained by
passing the meal through very tine
sieve, so that It contains hardly any
thing but starch and celluiose. White
bread. which plays an important role
with the French people. is thus ex-
tremely poor in really nourishing food.
and 1t is to the increasing consumption
OF 1t that many hygienists ascribe In
France the racial enfeeblement. the
diminution Of stature aud even the
present development OF tuberculosis.

years. In the estimates submitted
to congress yesterday, for 1915, the

This Democratic congress has dealt
more generously with the military
establishment than any Republican
congress, yet the demand for new
armament and greater appropriations
was never before so insistent. Part
OF this clamor is mischievous and
INSCRIPTIONS partisanship. Part OF
II is sheer jingoism. Part or II Is
sordid and selfish. But back Of II all
is a genuine and proper anxiety on
the part OF the American people TO
know whether the United States is
reasonably well protected.
The startling rapidly with which
the greatest war In human history
was brought to an issue by Austria
and Germany, the invasion OF Bel
gium and the sudden disintegration
OF international law have disturbed
the whole country. People want to
know whether If we were attacked
with as little notice as France and
Belgium received. we should be in
position to protect ourselves and the
best way to relieve these anxieties
is through a serious. dispassionate.

What possible objection can Rep
resentative Gardner have TO the
presidents counter-proposal for an
investigation by the regular commit
tees OF congress OF the country's pre-
paredness for a defensive war? Much
OF the credit for any investigation
would belong to Mr.. Gardner.
The president has formally stated
that there were no facts In the pos
session OF the executive departments
which were not at the disposal OF
these committees" What more does
sets want? Whatever is done must
be done by congress. Whatever money
Is appropriated must be appropriated
by congress. The final decision as to
men and ships and money rests with
congress. and the committees OF con-
gress provide the natural agency for
investigation.
The world trusts that there will
be very thorough inquiry by the
committees Of the house and senate.
Whether the United States Is pre-
pared To resist the attack of any
country that Is likely TO attack us
ought to be known publicly. Whether
the American people have been get
ting value received for the immense
sums expended on their military es-
Enlistment is matter that ought
