James Speyer. the banker, arrived
here Yesterday, from Halifax, where
the Mauretania landed him. He SAID
that he believed foreigners would be
able to come out of Europe without DIT

Nj. Speyer said:
"The first and by far the most I'M
portant step for our government 10
take is to provide means for shipping
our grain. cotton, foodstuffs and otner
commodities that may not be declared
contraband of war. If necessary Con-
gress should pass legislation quickly.
"The next important matter TO at
tend to is TO see in advance that our
people who ship stuff abroad are PAID.
I am confident that the money is there
and that i. will only be necessary to
make definite arrangements.
Third, am firm in the belief tina,
our Stock Exchange should not be
opened at date so early as to make 1t
dumping ground for American Sc
curities held in Europe. In my judy-
ment we should not open until after
London has taken the lead.
"Once we get our surplus commodi-
ties going to Europe congestion on ou-
railroad lines will be relieved. THIS
will be particularly true with respect
10 the Western roads. on which the Ill
rect shipment of grain is the heaviest.
81 am not sure that the European
mills will be able to handle a Large
amount of our cotton for time. The
inability to do this Gill naturally slim
ulate the cotton mills in the South and
also in New England"

PROPER SELECTION OF DIET
Reason Must Guide the Appetite If tho
Best Results Are to Be
Attained

The eminent American Psychologist
Lusk says that nature, through the de.
vice Of appetite, usually provides
agaiIst-the use OF improper food, but
that reason must play part in food
selections. A glass of milk and a piece
of pie are poor materials for the brain
of an active business man whose sed
entary life requires $500 heat units
or calories to maintain his body ma.
chinery,
We need also water, salts, proteins
and certain newly discovered sub.
stances called vitamines. All these
materials are to be found in milk
beans, bread and other great funda
mentals of nutrition. Solutions of cane
sugar or of glucose are not the ex.
elusive mainstays Of life, and yet glu
close taken alone yields $500 calores
at cost of 1-6 cents, and $500 cal.
cries in the form of cane sugar cos;
8 1-3 cents
Glucose is the cheapest food fuel
known, but, like cane sugar or butter
fat is not complete food, in that Il,
does not contain everything necessary
for life. Commercial glucose is abso
lutely harmless A man must have
sufficient calories in his diet If he Is

One of the best signs Of the times is

Sometimes four bedrooms are need

rooms it is necessary to build good
sized house. 1t is very desirable that
children should have bedrooms of their
own for their exclusive use as soon as
they are old enough to sleep by them
selves. You can get four little boxes
of rooms in a small house, but it is
never very satisfactory. Little bed
rooms too often lack light and ventila-
ton, and these are two very impor-
tant requisites.
One reason why | like square
houses and recommend them is the
fact that you can put a bedroom in
each corner upstairs and have two
windows in each room that are dag
onally opposite to each other, as they
may be left open to Great a current

Dog Knows Bad From Good Coin.

San Gregorio, Cal. has a dog, says
the San Francisco Chronicle, which,
with the eXactness of a banker, can
detect the difference between the ring
of genuine and counterfeit coin. A
few weeks ago some hunters threw
some coins on the counter of John
Marshall's hotel Marshall did not
quite like the sound of one Of the dol.
lars. Calling in his dog, he placed
him on the counter. The dog care
fully picked up with his mouth four
genuine coins and took them to his
master, and left counterfeit dollar
on the counter.
Hearing that his dogs ability was
questioned Marshall put the animal
to a series of difficult tests recently
in the presence of several coastside
citizens. Not in a single instance did
the wonderful dog fail to detect a
counterfeit coin. The final test was
to nail genuine and counterfeit dol.

shaking each box furiously, the dog
