In considering this subject. the first
question which comes to ones mind is,
What Is Food?', "A food may be de-.
fined as anything which, when taken
into the body, is capable either of re-
pairing it's waste or of furnishing it
with material from which to produce
heat or nervous and muscular work."
Our bodies are like engines which
need fuel, and fresh air to produce
heat and energy. The fuel which we
put into our bodies isa the. food we eat.
The fresh air is necessary to make
this food burn up SO that we get the
desired heat and energy. :.
The body is made up Of tiny living
cells in which chemical changes are
taking place constantly. Old worthless
material is being cast aside and re-
placed by new material. The food
which we eat must supply the chemical
elements which are necessary to bring
about these changes. Food is made
up of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxy-
gen, sulphur, iron. PHOSPHORUS, ETC.,
combined in such a way that the cells
of the body can use them as fuel. These
combinations are called food princi-
pals"
There are five food principals,-car-
bohydrates, proteins, fats, water and
ash constituents or mineral matter.
Most foods contain some of each Of
these food principals but the foods are
classified under the principal of which
they have the largest percentage COM
position.

THE BATTLES OF USER AND
YPRES HAVE HELD THEIR own

On the 31st of July, 1914, all the active
troops were in their garrisons with rail-
roads carrying passengers and goods as
usual. The order for the troops to set
out was issued at $50 O'clock and at 5
O'Clock all the units assigned to the de-
fense of the frontier were in their trains
on the way to their positions of resist
ance. The transportation of all the COW
ering troops was finished August 3rd.
The first day the Eastern railroad
alone sent out 53S trains of soldiers, every
one of which reached it's destination on
schedule time. The Eastern road sent out
546 trains only the second day, showing
that it's first effort lacked only eight
trains of the maximum. After the mo-
bilization 1900 trains were employed in
the concentration of the forces at points
fixed and only 20 of them were behind the
hour provided for in their schedule.
The railroads became a maneuvring in
strument when the concentration period
was finished and played a capital role in
the battle of the Marne
, Even during the battle of Charleroi, the
Allies left was reinforced by three divi-
sions brought from the region of Nancy
In 200 trains in three days time.
They had scarcely arrived when the re-
treat was ordered, and the railroads we're
occupied in concentrating at the center
and on the left the masses of troops that
attacked the German right and decided
the battle. Three army corps, five divi-
sions of infantry, and three divisions of
cavalry were brought by rail from Lor-
raine, part to the region of Chalons sur
Marne and part to the region of Paris.
The battle of the Marne won, the rail-
roads began pouring troops to the North
in the race to the sea.
The relative calm along the front itself
at certain periods being no rest to the
railroads. From February to August, 1915,
3430 troops trains were run while the
average of supply trains was 131 a day;
at the same time there were 222 ambu-
lance trains in service.
Besides assuring the transportation or
troops. the railroads have since the war
added 200 miles of regular gauge and 40
miles of narrow gauge track to their
startegic lines and largely transformed

F; /. The foods which bring about
growth and repair in the body are
called protein foods and contain nitro
gen. The protein foods which are Of
animal origin are meat, fish, eggs.
milk and cheese. Those of vegetable
origin are beans. peas, lentils and nuts.
II. The foods which produce heat
and force are the carbohydrates. or
starchy foods-potatoes, rice, corn,
cereals. tapioca and sago-fats and
sugar.
III. Vegetables with little or no
starch and fruits, fresh or cooked, are
very necessary to the body for they
give bulk to the food which helps the
movement of the intestines. and they
give mineral salts. So cabbage, tur-
nips, parsnips, beets, lettuce, celery.
spinach, tomatoes, squash, cucumbers,
ETC., find an essential place in the
diet.
Water is very necessary to the body.
There is a great deal of water in food
but this needs to be supplemented by
drinking plenty of water between
meals and some water with the meals.
The adult should drink three pints Of
water daily.
During the day the adult should eat
about one part protein food and about
five parts of other food. If at each
meal some food is selected from each
of the three groups named above, the
diet will be fairly well balanced.

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very in
furious, as it dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain null
sified cocoanut oil, for this is pure and ell
trely greaseless. It's very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can set this
at any drug store, and few ounces will
last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abundance
of rich. creamy lather, cleanses thor
oughly, and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is soft.
fresh looking, bright fluffy. wavy, and
easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle of dust. dirt and
dandruff.-Adv.

cal advantages which accrue from anv

Maine has profited through her more
than 30 years of prohibition material
iy' socially and ethically. I wish to
mention some of the latter gains:
l. Most of the towns in Maine have
no liquor shops and have had none
WITHIN the memory of the majority of
the lnhabltants. In no place in the
state IS there man under SO years of
age who has ever seen in his own
state a full-f1edged saloon such as con-
fronts one on street corners in license
states. 1t is possible to bring a bow I'M
anywhere in Maine without his know

z The amount of liquor selling and
OF violation of the law varies under
different political regimes, just as gam
bling, burglary and other crimes vary.
but even at the worst drunkenness and
its allied evils are not as bad as in the
license states, nor as bad as would be
the case in Maine, if the saloon were
legalized.
3. Politics has felt the corrupting
influence of the rum interests in Maine.
but in my judgment not nearly as per-
nlclously as in license states. The rum
power is foreign power, so far as
Maine is concerned. 1t resides chiefly
in Boston, and has its henchmen in
Maine, but these are agents. not prin-
cipals, and they are outIawed, forced to
closer cover and to darker ways than
in states where the business is in any
form openly tolerated. The Iaw-break-
ers in Maine are an unhappy lot, never
knowing when the axe of legal execu-
tion may fall. They have no standing
and no security.
4. In Maine the temptations of the
social glass are not encountered at
public and social functions. There is
drinking and there is treating, but not
at respectable functions, nor as a mat
ter of course, as. one frequently finds
it in the communities.
5. The helps, therefore, to sobriety
to industry and to thrift are greater in
Maine than would be the case if Maine
were not under the prohibitory law:
and the hindrances, while not wanting,
are fewer and less effective.
In my own Judgment these benefits

PROHIBITION LAWS DRASTIC.
Virginia Trainmen Cannot Give In
formation Where Liquor Is Sold.

The prohibition laws of the state of
Virginia are drastic in their efforts to
prevent drinking in public. and to pre-
vent any one from obtaining liquor
from blind tigers or bootleggers. The
cars of the Washington Virginia line
running out of this city to points in
Virginia have recently had placards
placed in them as follows:
Extract from the prohibition laws of
Virginia-Any person who shall drink
intoxicating liquors in any railroad
station, or any passenger train, or any
street car or other public conveyance
or any person employed in connection
with any train or car who shall pro-
cure for or assist in procuring. or who
shall give any information by which
any person may secure Intoxicating
liouor shall be guilty of misGems a
nor. and upon conviction shall be fined
not less than so or more than $500
Now when the railroad men are ask
ed to give information as to where
liouor can be obtained in Alexandria
they point to the big placard with the
remark, you read that.
