LORD MURRAY OF ELEBANx.

Alexander William Charles Oil
pflant, Baron Murray of ElibaIik, who
has long been prominent in British
politics, was born As years ago today,
the eldest son of the eight children of
the tezath Baron E1ibank. Lord Muir
ray was appointed last November to
the post OF director-genera1 Of recruit
ing for munitions works, but recently
resigned on account Of i'll health. lie
began his political career in 1895,
when he contested the west division of
Edinburgh, but was defeated. After
three more unsuccessful attempts to
gain a seat in the House of Commons,
he was elected from Midlothian in
1900. The young Scotch. nobleman,
then known as the Masterlof E1ibank,
soon became prominent in the councils
Of the Liberal party. Since his en-
trance into the political arena he has
held the posts of Comptroller of His
Matesty's Household, Under Secre-
tary Of state for India, Parliamentary
Secretary to the Treasury, and chief
Liberal whip. He was one of those
involved in the deal in shares of the
American Marconi co. which resulted
in the gr4vest political scandal Eng
land has known in years Lord Muir
ray assumed all the blame for this
transaction
After retiring from the post of chief
WHIP e11ds p1bLTOHdSS SCCISNdAy ~ Lie
treasury, Lord Murray became the
South American representative of the
Pearson corporation in arranging oil
and other concessions.
The title of Baron Of Elibank dates
from 1913 The first Baron was the
keeper of Caerlaverock Castle. and
was one of the six peers who opposed
the surrender of Charles I. to the Par
lament of England. The family had
been prominent in Scotland even be-
fore that tiTne, and a grandfather of
the first Baron of E1ibank was slain
of the present Lord Murray was for
many years an officer Of the British
navy, and served in the. China war of
1850 and the Jamaica rebellion of
1865. The estate of Lord ElIbank
consists of $500 acres, including Darn
Hall in Peeb1assE3fre, EIibank In Sell
Ixir1zshtre, PitEeav4is in PeEthshire and
Ba11encrfeff in Haddingtonshfre.

THE FOOD OF SOLDIERS.

One of the greatest problems which
confront the military leaders of the
different countries is to supply the
soldiers with adequate satisfying food.
Napoleon spoke truly when he said
that armies fight on their bellies. The
British conmiSsariat has had many
problems to solve, not the least of
least of these being to keep Tommy
well provided with Jam and MARINA
lade. Tommy is a rather particular
person about his food, and his sweet
tooth has to be satisfied. The Russian
soldier presents an easier problem.
All he asks is plenty of 'fstchee,'' a
sort of Cruel or thick soup made of
pork, oatmeal, potatoes and cabbage,
boiled together with salt and other
seasoning. The French soldier also
consumes vast quantities of what he
calls Soup although in reality it is
a thick and nourishfng stew, made of
meat, meat and various other vege-
tables. Italian soldiers demand their
regular supply of macaroni and spag-
hetti, and Aat little meat. Their diet
consists largely of farinaceous foods,
fruits and wine, the latter being is
sued as part of their regular rations.
The German soldiers get their meat
rations largely in the form of sausage.
Give q Teuton plenty of sausage with
beer to wash it down and he is per-
fectly content. The British fighters
from India demand a menu entirely
different from that of the Tomrnies,
and the Turcos of the French army
are also peculiar in their tastes. The
food most favored by the co1ored Al
gerian so3diery is CONSCIOUS or
boiled semo1ina, made of the large
hard grains retained in the boiling
machine after the fine -four has pass
ed through it. The semo1ina Is served
either plain, or with the addition of
vegetables, sometimes with a little
mutton or goat flesh added. On this
regimen a Turco will march farther
and carry a heavier load with less
fatigue than any other soldier of any
nation.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT
AND SANITATION.

The sense of smell was not given
us merely to enjoy roses and vio1ets.
It performs humber. but even more
vital services. Were e not for that
faculty. many sources OF injection
would pour out their poison undiscov-
cred. But many people and many
communities seern benefit Of this bene-
hcent sense.
In rural and suburban districts out
side OF sewers, many property own
ers are putting in private drainage
systems and plumbing. They feel that
they have made a great advance in
manner of living. That may or may
not be true. A great deal of such
work is done by incompetent men. 1t
may turn out later that the pipe rum
ming out to the ceSspool has INSULT
Gent fall. or a dozen other faults
show themselves when the pipes fill
I with grease. Then the owner may
wish he had stuck to the more prtnni-
tive habits of hts ie4ghbors.
! A lady visited the other day a. we'll

perity, with some idea Of taking up
her residence there. She noticed a

/ lage. An old resident remarked that

some days. The lady went else

old 1naidtsh. Yet there are many
people who feel that way nowadays.
Such nsiderations affect real estate
values.
A town may have good schools and
good streets, and be 1amentabiy slow
! In sanitation. Public sentiment moves

trtcts are particularly negligent.

are MIXED in dark and dusty barns.

what good sanitation is. but they find

of strict regulation. But it is much

a-days paying attention to physical cub
t11re and the proper exercise OF their
body muscles, where, thirty years ago
or fifty years ago there wassI1o thought
expended on this science which is
quite necessary to physical beauty. The
reason the Greeks, both men a11d

of some women the idea of physical
exercise CONVEYS only the idea of hard

tint1ed day after day is best for the
body and spirits and health. With
out proper exercise there can be no
health, and without health there can
be no real beauty.
