remained apparently suspended there for fully a

Value of Food

A RECENT medical publication lays
"A special stress upon the positive

MINISTRY OF COMMERCE
 URGED FOR ENGLAND

LONDON. June 11.-At the annual meeting of the Association of Trade Protection societies a resolution was passed urging the establishment of a Ministry of Commerce and express ing the belief that such a Ministry would have prevented many of the difficulties which have arisen during the recent months.
 The matter has been taken up by several newspapers and although the question of cost Is considerable it is argued that the work now being done partly by the Foreign Office, the Board of Trade and the Colonial Office would if co-ordinated and consoli- dated in a single branch, greatly assist in the extension of British trade and at the same time smooth the contraband difficulties which trad CTS in almost every branch of com merce are suffering from at the pres, ent time.

AFFILIATIONS ARE LAST
 RESORT WITH WOUNDED

BERLIN, June 11.-Surgery upon the battlefield, according to well known physician, pr. Ziegelroth, is becoming more and more a matter of back to nature" The doctors, mill tary and civil. who are tending the wounded in the west, are discovering, not without some surprise. how potent a factor nature Is in healing wounds.
 Amputations are resorted to only in cases of utmost necessity, and sur geons are acting with the greatest conservatism where previously limbs were severed quickly when certain symptoms appeared. The conser. vatism appears to be rewarded by re- coveries that ordinarily would have been considered impossible. Ordinary wounds are dressed with antisceptic bandages. and then are not rebound any more than necessary. The heal ing is being left to efficient nature.
 The civil practitioners in the west ern field according to Dr. Zlegelroth. are engaged in a friendly but spirited contest with the military physicians and are giving extraordinary service Men who in ordinary life have a golden practice" are enduring all the hardships of the field without a mur- mur, and good-humoredly contest for bundles of straw upon which to sleep in barns and stables. The snoring Of fellow physicians seems to bother them more than the artillery fire.

PANAMA NATIVE TROOPS
 ORGANIZED As RESERVES

PANAMA, June 11.-Plans for the organization of large and well trained reserve force from among the natives of the Republic of Panama are being considered by Brigader General Clarence R. Edwards, com mander of the Panama Canal troops. It is proposed that these reserves should form a part of the Panama Canal defense forces and should be trained by American officers for use in case the canal or the republic were attacked.
 It Is said that practically all of the natives In the interior are excellent shots and would be perfectly willing to serve for a short time for little pay in the various instruction camps that would be established. It Is be- lieved that probably 10000 to 3O,OOO such reservlsts could be obtained.
 The native troops would be officered by young Panamans, schooled by the American officers. It would be in the nature of National Guard of Panama but would not supplant the present national police.

ENGLISH OFFICERS IN
 NEED OF FIELD GLASSES

LONDON. June 11.-While hun dreds of appeals for field glasses ap- pear in the personal columns of the London papers in behalf of young off, cers at the front, the followers of the races still have plenty of binoculars with which to view the horses. A picture of the grounds at Newmarket showing the crowd with glasses to eyes following the race, appears in one of the London newspapers, while below appears the appeal for these instruments made by Lady Roberts. Commissioned officers must largely furnish their own kit In the British army, and their pay is only nominal Glasses are naturally out of the reach of the noncommissioned officers. One of the last acts of Lord Roberts was an appeal to sportsmen for glasses for the front, and before leaving on his trip to France he wrote a second appeal, which was found after his death.
