pleasing. Lovers of violin music were
charmed by the playing of Miss Mar

snowy number. The Concerto was
beautifully rendered. every shade of
expression and melody being perfectly
brought out. Alabama, by Albert

were pleasing numbers. and the Hun

GOSPEL OF PURE FOOD

II am II. I'm going to live ten
years longer. I'd live to be IS if
were forty pounds lighter than I am.
And just as long as I am able and as
long as the people will listen to me,
I'm going to keep on preaching the
doctrine of pure food, says DR.. Wi
ley, who is the leading authority on
food hygiene in the United States. In
an address delivered in Cleveland the
other night the doctor drew a lesson
of food conservation from the Europe
war; he said Ohio's milk along with
New York's, is the worst in the coun.
try; called public schools "trystine
places for disease" and ridiculed mo-
dern methods of education.
"The great European conflict is MOI
going to be decided upon the battle
fields, in the trenches, along the Wis.
tula or in the Carpathians," says DR.
Wiley. "It is going to be decided up
on the wheat fields Of this country anC
of Argentine. The nation that frs
feels the pangs of, starvation is goinl
to be the first to sue for piece.
Germany early realized the i'm
portance Of feeding her soldiers an,
noncombatants. She is now sending
university professors all over the em
pire to teach the people conservation
Of food and thescientifc principle
Of nutrition"
