MUSEUM NOTES
Lectures On Problems of Everyday Liv.
ing at The Fairbanks Museum.

Lectures On Problems of Everyday LiV-
ing at The Fairbanks Museum.
The first of the Museum course of
lectures was given on Tuesday, Nov. 2,
on the subject '"The Food Problem"
1t was largely attended by the teach
ers and friends of the Museum.
The various important aspects of
the problem were first discussed. prov
ing how many-sided' and fundament-
allv important it is. A study was
made of the source and uses in the
body of the various food constituents
and of the dietetic value of the differ
ent classes of foods. Atwater's series
of food charts were used to illustrate
the relative values of fodds A stan
dard dietary for a day was given and
the various factors that might inf1u-
ence the amount required-such as
work, climate. age, build sex and per-
Sonal peculiarities. On the basis of
these facts. the ideal balanced dietary
for an individual and a school teach
er'S dietetic need was stated. The
conclusion reached was that each per-
| son must be law to himself and solve
his own food problem. The part of
wisdom consists in considering we'll
the selection of proper food in order
to conserve vital energy and have
freedom Tor higher living.
The second lecture of the course
was given on November 9. The sub
ject, Food Accessories" was narrow
ed down to beverages and stimulants.
The source, composition, physiologi-
Zeal effects. and dietetic value of the
most important beverages now in use
were discussed:-a water, milk, min
eral waters, tea, coffee, cocoa and
chocolate. The use and dangerous
effect of commonly used drugs as CO.
kcaine, opium, and tobacco was stated
and the influence of the Pure Food
and Drug Act of June 80, 1906 refer
red to. Although not a pure food
law, this legislation has been a great
educational force and raised the stan
dard of the demand for pure goods
and the honor of the manufacturers.
Alcohol and it's effects were discussed
and it was proved not food, nor a
Fstimulant but depressant and a poi
son. Even taken in small amounts
habitually it has a cumulative evil eff
feet, which is shown in greater de-
gree when freely taken. 1t decreases
physical and mental power and con-
troll, shortens life. weakens memory
brain, bringing moral degeneration. f.
nancial failure to the individual who
partakes and predisposes to insanity,
crime, pauperism, and all the evils of
society. Education is turning public
opinion strongly against the use of
alcoholics. Doctors prescribe it less.
kings and presidents are using their
great influence for total abstinence.
The war has forced governments to

1c waste. America would do well to

Gift To The Museum.
The Fairbanks Museum for the bene-
fit of the work for the rural schools.
A friend of education has given 80
books by standard authors to be dis
tributed to those eager children of the
rural communities who desire to i'm
prove their time out of school hours
by reading and yet have not access
to private or public libraries
May there not be other friends in
st. Johnsbury who could spare a few
good books from their own libraries
to give joy and help to the children
near us who have not any books in
their homes?
Some may like to make it a part of
their Thanksgiving for their home and
school privileges to buy a single new
book, best adapted to the needs of
these rural school children. A book
of the right sort may open a door of
opportunity to some boy or girl for
his life work
Any suggestions may be had at the
Fairbanks Museum and books left
there will be promptly distributed
where they may be most appreciated.

China's Concessions.

There is then set out a great length
the demands to which China agreed At
the first conference. she accepted in
principle the demand that she assent to
the transfer of German rights in Shan
tung to Japan, but wished to add a
clause that the matter should be left
to a discussion of all the parties in
terested a a peace conference, and that
Japan should agree to restore the
leased property to China.
Other demands agreed to by China
were that she should not cede or lease
TO any third power any territory in
land or land on the sea border of Shan
tung. that Japan should be given pref
erence. provided Germany abandoned
her privilege of supplying capital for
the construction of a railway from Che
FOO or Lungkow to connect with the
kiaocha Chinanfu railway. in the
event of China deciding to build that
railway with foreign capital; that she
would open certain important cities N
Shantung as trade marts under resula-
tions approved by Japan. although these
privileges were additional to any en-
joyed by Germany. and. in the opinion
of China, acceptance was not essential
TO the preservation of peace in the far
east.
Later, China agreed to the extension
of the leases of the Dairen-Port Ar
thur-South Nanchurian railway and
the Antung-Mukden railway.

SOLUTION Of PROBLEM
BY THE RESERVE BOARD
Establishes Basis of Membership by
State Banks in Federal
System.

The right to withdraw from and
surrender membership in the federal
reserve system. the federal reserve
board has practically decided. is to be
vested in state banks which chose to
join the system. This is the conclusion
reached after months of consideration.
in an effort to solve the difficult prob
lem of establishing a basis of member
ship acceptable to the state banks and
adjusted to other considerations.
Classed as Important Decision.
The decision, regarded as one OF the
most important made by the federal
reserve board, is expected to induce
the entrance into the system of hun
dreds of strong state institutions. State
bankers, early in the consideration of
the question, made clear that the prin-
cipal objection to identification with
the system was the prospect that the
only way out, once enrolled In the sys-
TEN. was for the state bank to sur
render it's charter and liquidate.
State bankers expressed the view that
they were not compelled by the reserve
act to enter the reserve system, as were
national banks, and that therefore the
door Snould De leIt open LOT tnelr de-
parture.
The board debated that question at
length and consulted with governors of
the federal reserve banks and members
of the advisory council.
Will Explain Limitation.
1t was said today the board probably
will explain in a circular soon to be is
sued that the only limitation on the
withdrawal of state banks shall be as
to a maximum retirement of capital
and reserves from the system during
any one year. 1t also will be made
clear that the board does not wish to
make hard and fast rules governing
loans on real estate by state banks.
but that it desires only to limit those
loans so that banks assets will be
kept always in a fairly liquid condi-
ton.
