How the War Threatens
 Enqlish Free Trade

sternation exists among dye users, who employ about 1.50O,000 persons in various trades. for without dyes many branches of manufacture will be crippled, and at present only about four months' supply of dyes remains in the country. The present home output is far too small to meso the needs of trade.
 Unless a tariff were imposed c the end of the war, German dye manufacturers would flood England with dyes at prices with which ne British company could compete, and it is held by business men to be foregone conclusion that in that event British Dyes. Limited, would rapidly become bankrupt, and tneiu whole capital would be lost.
 By promising Q protective tari9 the Government could secure the re] quired capital for British dyes with- out difficulty or delay.
 Will the British Government over throw it's whole foreign trade policy to meet this emergency? That may prove to be one of the extraordinary changes wrought by the war.

By LEONARD KEENE 'HIRSHbEH4, A. B., M. A., M. D. (Johns Hopkins). TT has long been a mystery why
 farmers, the poor. and savage k tribes are physically better oil than those who live in hotels, res taurants. or have the most expensive food and live seemingly on the fat of the land.
 Yet some hae meat and cannot eat" while others with royal cooks and a treasury of good things fall ill with scurvy, wasti g diseases. anaemia, cancellation and loss of flesh
 The explanation Of this strange e.c.e of affairs is to be found in the experience of the German sea raider, the cruiser Kronprinz Wilhelm, which was compelled to make for neutral port in order to save the lives of its crew of 300.
 Why were these men in danger? Not from any microbe or contagious malady. Not for want of sunlight. Not for want of plenty of food. fresh air and water None of these neces- sities of health were absent from shipboard
 Yet no of the men were incapaci- tated to the point of being bedrid- den and the other 300 odd were able to do little more than sit up and take notice.

Why Poor People, Farmers and Savages
 Are Really Better Off Than the Rich

The true inwardness of it all is to be traced to food defects, to wit. the absence of certain mineral constitu- ents and vitamines, the same things which are demanded by babies ip their foods, to make their bones strong, their teeth proper, their blood red. and to keep their hair from sweating and showing other tissue defects.
 Refined and polished wheat, rice, and other cereals, canned fruits. canned vegetables, and even meats served in the usual way-the so-called "embalmed beef" of the Spanish American war was such meat-lacll certain elements such as calcium and certain ferments called "vitamines. which are absolutely necessary for vitality, health and strength These lime salts and vitamines are always present in fresh country vegetables and fresh fruits.
 In the human tissues other than the bones there is an average of ten teaspoonsful of chloride of lime, bak- ing soda, table salt, phosphate of potash, and iron for each 100 pounds of weight. These minerals keep the blood, lymph, chyle and fabric juices balanced and properly distributed. They are intimately connected with each intricate fiber in the living tex tiles.
 Yet without the clean, new, un-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-05-09

rusted minerals just named, beri beri, hemorrhages, scurvy. rickets and all sorts of chronic maladies often 1n- cluded under that false, useless and meaningless term, rheumatism, follow.
 How, then, are such serious afflic- tions to be avoided? Can the min erals be administered with food, like table salt, or like iron as medicine! No. While doctors usually SD ad- wise and believe that the patients re- ceive benefits, 1t Is untrue. In doc tors. like other average people, hope springs eternal in their human breasts, and their wishes are parents to their beliefs. They always "get results" because they do not recog- nize that better results are possible in this way.
 In fresh orange juice, fresh fruits in general, fresh green vegetables. rough milled, unpublished wheat, bar ley. oats and other cereals all contain in a serviceable form the minerals which can be taken into the human structures. 'sVitamines" are also present in these, neither the latter nor the minerals are to be found in refined cereals, in canned goods, in stale vegetables Even to keep lima beans a day after they are picked without canning them destroys great many of these necessary in gradients.

THE sad plight of a single nne'

 England, of course, might make her own dyes. but capital with which to set up the. necessary plants is lacking for the reason that as soon as the war ends it would have no protection against experienced Ger man. competition without legislation imposing duty on the foreign product.

Baby EIannels.

Most mothers find that it pays to
wash the baby's expensive little wool
ems themselves instead of letting them
go into the regular wash. 1t takes
little strength or time to wash out a
tiny shirt after the baby has donned
a clean one, and it pays, because it does
not shrink so much If washed care
fully. A baby can do with three shirts
if one is washed out each morning.
This allows clean shirt after the
daily bath, one used the day before
to be put on at night and one to be
washed, with time to dry thoroughly
before being put on the next day. With
only three shirts the mother can afford
to buy a good quality, which pays al
ways in baby things, and, as they are
in constant use, there is not much
danger of their being outgrown.

This shows great faith in the merit
of Mi-o-na. 1t is really most un-
usual medicine and the rapid increase
of sales since G.. A. Parcher intro
