Says National Chamber Of
Commerce in a Pamphlet
lust Issued.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-By way Of
adding to arguments in favor OF a
permanent tariff commission-adyo-
eating this reform as national bus
mess policy-the chamber of COM
merce of the United States declares IN
a pamphlet just issued, the proposal
is not political. According to this au-
thorlty before the tariff revision Of
1909 was determined upon commits
sion was urged by advocates regard
less of party. Every time there ms
been attempting in either the house
or senate to make it party measure
there have been affirmative votes from
members Of the opposing party.
In 1911 the members of the house
committee on ways and means-the
committee in which party lines are
most closely drawn, the committee
which bears the burden of the present
method of formulating a new tariff,
and the committee which accordingly
understands most completely the In
adequacy OF the facts upon which
tariff bills are now based-unani-
mously approved bill for a perma-

for such a board is insistent and in

Where Business is Concerned.
For sixty years the tariff has been
a source of constant Triton between
government and business, the national
chamber document points out. What
ever the tariff policy determined
through national elections, its appli-
cation by Congress has been accom-
panied by controversies regarding the
facts of industry and commerce. AS
these facts have never been authori-
tatiyely ascertained, except in few
instances. business men quite regard
less Of political beliefs find the pros
perity of their enterprises and that OF
their employees menaced by legisla-
ton based upon data which is mac
curate and incomplete. Under such
conditions consideration Of new tariff
legislation inevitably causes apprehen-

entire business world.
Universal recognition is accorded to
these circumstances. In calling Con-

GOOD FOOD IS
FOE OF GRIP,
SAYS EXPERT
Some Items Are Suggested by
Mrs. Anna B. Scott,
Noted Authority.

Grip" said Mrs. Anna B. Scott,
the North Americans cooking expert
and food economist, us largely a
matter OF food.
ooh, l know what the doctors say
about germs and the damp. unsea-
sonable wealth! And have no doubt
1t is true. But II people were prop
erly nourished and their digestions
were not impaired. they would be
much less apt to let the germs get
the upper hand Of them" says the
Philadelphia North American.
"A great many people who are
very careful OF what they eat in the
summer are utterly Indifferent to the
subject of foods in the winter.
winter Is the time of the great
est amount OF sickness and the high
est death rate. This, of course. is
due, to a large extent, to overhead
ed dwellings and business places and
lack OF ventilation. Folks close
their windows and breathe the same
air over and over until 1t is poison
Gus.
Food and Heat.
But large number Of the winter
ailments are due to low vitality arts
ing from poor heating systems in the
body. You see, when the icy blasts
blow or there Is long period Of
damp, muygy weather, the vital
forces have a heavy drain in pro-
ducing heat to keep the body up to
normal temperature.
Heat is the first demand made
on the vital forces. That must be
produced at the expense Of every
thing else. And when the right
kind of fuel-that Is, heat produc-
ing foods-are not supplied, the VI
tai forces, become so low that the
grip germ and every other germ has
an easy time in getting foothold.
Therefore, at this time of year
particular attention should be paid
to providing foods that produce heat
and, at the same time, are easily di-
gested.
Persons who do heavy work in
the open air can eat heavy meat
diet. This will supply the heat. But
persons OF less strenuous occupation
must get their heat from diets less
trying to the digestive tract.
1T was about a year ago that I
quoted from an article OF the famous
Doctor Wiley, in which he discussed
the relation OF food to employment.
He gave a table, in which he said
that a man asleep requires sixty-tive
calories an hour; awake and at rest
10 calories; at light exercise, 10
calories: at active exercise, 290 ca
tories; at severe exercise, 450 ca
tories.
Conditions and Foods.
TT will be seen from this that
conditions and employment have
much to do in determining the kind
of food needed, especially with re-
spect to its heat producing qualities.
In the summer it is best to eat the
least heating foods, and as the
weather gets colder we go to the
heavier foods for the purpose Of
supplying heat.
I'VE are now coming to time
of the year when pork, sausage,
