HIGH COST OF ARMY FEEDING
Comparisons That illustrate Germanys Bills for
Feeding Her Army.

The question of subsistence is a vital to
an army, and many battles have been lost from
the failure of food supplies. The commissary de-
partment of armies in all civilized countries is
in the hands of men who are in reality dietetic
specialists on large scale. The present war is
the supreme test for the quartermaster's depart
ment.
''Rations," the daily food supply of the SOL
ders is known, vary in each country according
to racial tests climatic conditions Thus the
meat ration of France is quite different from that
of Germany. For the purpose of comparison we
have taken the daily field ration of the German
army which is as follows:
Seven hundred and fifty grams of fresh bread,
500 grams of biscuit.
Three hundred and fifty grams of raw meat
(fresh or sated), or 200 grams of smoked beef,
pork mutton, bacon or meat sausage.
One hundred and twenty-five grams of rice
(groats) or $50 grams of pulse or flour, or 1,5O0
grams of potatoes.
twenty-five grams of salt
twenty-five grams of coffee (roasted) or 80
grams of coffee (green), or 3 grams of tea and
II grams of sugar
This supply for week compared with the
huge mass of Cologne cathedral shows results
very surprising, for we have a loaf of bread
weighing 60,130000 pounds and 393 feet
high, which bulks well alongside the lofty edi-
fee. Meat is represented by side Of bacon but
in practice this might be varied by sausage
smoked beef, fresh beef salt meat, or mutton.
The bacon is 1870 feet long and would weigh 49,
100000 pounds. Potatoes are the heaviest item,
weighing 120 0330,000 pounds. The bag would be
two feet less in length while the sugar bag would
measure So feet high and would weigh 1866, 900
pounds Such amounts of food almost in

Ihere were valentines with lace and

pressed the letters to her lips. Helen
went on looking at the valentines.
When she had finished she saw that
Grandma Great had fallen asleep. The
letters were in her lap and she had
her sweetheart's picture in one hand.
Helen looked at her. There was a.
smile upon her face, and somehow
Helen understood what she had meant
by keeping young, and after that days
visit Helen always felt that Grandma
Great was much younger than shs had

TRUE DIGNITY OF GlRLHO0D
Does Not Mean Stiff, Pompous Man.
ner, But Quiet, Unassuming At
mosphere of SeIf-Respect.

We are likely to associate the word
ity, people who have achieved some
thing, who stand little above the
rank and file. And it is a pity that
we should have this idea, for dignity
should characterize girlhood as well
as maturity and old age. A girls dig
nifty is not just like that of some
statesman or artist 1t is girls dig
nifty, simple and sweet and unassum-
ing.
There are some girls who are afraid
that dignity will interfere with their
popularity. They will submit to the
most casual treatment, mistakenly
imagining that they will be better
liked The girl who allows her boy
acquaintances to call her by some
nickname, to address her in cavalier
fashion, to disregard in her presence
the little courtesies which custom de-
mands of his sex toward hers, is sac
rificing in vain. She is losing what is
her right, and gaining nothing in re-
turn.
There are few things the modern
girl needs to cultivate as much as dig
nifty. This does not mean a stiff, POM
pous, keep-at-your-distanc manner,
but the quiet, unassumirg atmosphere
of self-respect that con- pels the re-
spect of others 1t. is not only safe
guard to the girl who possesses it,
but it is a promise of happiness

is headed At intervals of a minute or more the
leadsman casts his lead while every three or four
minutes the observers take observations until the
end of the course is reached, where final set Of
observations locate the end of the line. The boat
then runs other lines in the way until the
entire bottom of the surveyed area has been
sounded.
The ead-line method of sounding sutflces to
record the lay of the bottom with sufficient accu-
racy where there extraordinary obstruc-
tions; but in regions like the coast of Maine
and that of Alaska where there are many isolated
pinnacle rocks and ledges under water, or along
shores like those of Florida Porto Rico and the
Philippines, where coral reefs abound and coral
heads fringe the coast special Investigations have
to be made. The lead line might be cast all
around pinnable rock-might even strike it q
glancing blow-and still fail to discover it.
An instance of this kind occurred in Buzzards
bay, Massachusetts, in 1902. Although more than
$1,000 soundings had been made, more than 5000
angles observed and ,462 miles of sounding lines
run, rock whose head was 18 feet below the
surface run upon by the cruiser Brooklyn
during the naval maneuvers of that year.
In order to discover such distractions in much
frequented waters new instrument the wire
drag, has been devised 1t consists of long wire,
sometimes more than mile long, weighted down
at Intervals with sinkers and supported at any
desired depth by surface buoys. Power boats are
hitched to it, usually one at each end and one
in the middle. and with these it is drawn around
harbor much farmer drives his binder
around his field of standing wheat. If it strikes
no obstruction the photographers know that the
harbor bottom is clear to the depth of the drag.
Another line of information the mariner must
have is about the movement of currents, so that
his ship may not be carried around by currents
whose presence he does not suspect. Information
concerning them is gathered by of current
rods as rule A current rod is an instrument
made to float vertically beneath the water with
only its tip showing above the surface so that
it is not disturbed by the wind. It's movement is
observed and the observations give definite infor-
nation concerning the currents.

Modern ZOOLOGY.

In his presidential address before

vancement of Science. now printed
in Science, DR. Edmund B. Wilson Of
Columbia university discussed the
more pressing problems of modern
zoology. In regard to Darwinism, he
said: "Undeniably there is a large
measure of truth in the contention
that natural selection still belongs
rather to the philosophy than to the
science of biology In spite Of many
important experimental and critical
studies on the subject Darwin's con-
ception still remains today in the
main what it was in his own time, a
theory, a logical construction. based

still awaiting adequate experimental
test Simple though the principle is,
its actual effect in nature is deter
mined by conditions that are too intri-
cate and operate through periods too
great to be duplicated in the expert

Darwinism the time has not yet come
for a true estimate Of Darwin's pro-
posed solution of the great problem"

It has often been said that business
in foreign lands has owed much to
Christian missions in opening up new
territory to trade. It now develops
that missions will owe something to
big business. 1t has been the custom
for the home Offices of the foreign
missionary societies to pay their rep
resentatives in the field by foreign
drafts. The war has made this
method impossible. The treasurers of
the various missionary boards at a
joint meeting voted to appeal to some
American mercantile house doing
business in every part of the world.

CHAPTER XIV.

The Honorable Abe Smithers was
not the regular judge of the circuit
which numbered Hixon among it's
county seats. The elected incumbent
was i'll, and Smithers had been named
as his protein. successor. Callomb
climbed to the second story of the
frame bank building and pounded loud
fy on a door, which bore the boldly
typed single:

The temporary judge admitted a
visitor in uniform, whose countenance
was stormy with indignant protest.
The judge himself was placid and smil-
ing The lawyer, who was for the time
being exalted to the bench, hoped to
ascend it more permanently by the
votes of the HOLMAN faction, since
only HOLMAN votes were counted He
was young man of powerful physique
with a face ruggedly strong and hon
est.

The judge shook his head, and his
Visage was sternly thoughtful and
hypocritical. He did not mention that
he had just come from conference
with the Holman leaders. He did not
explain that the venire he had drawn
from the jury drum had borne a singu-
larly solid Holman complexion.
