FRUIT IS LARGELY WATER
In Strawberries the Amount Is 90 Per
Cent, with 5 Per Cent Sugar.

For those who In the summer fruit
season like to know what they are
eating 1t may be of interest to learn
that you "eat" very little, for fruit
is practically nothing but a lot of
water and a little sugar, remarks Lon
don Answers.
Strawberries, for example, are 90
per cent water and between 5 and 6
per cent sugar. The small balance
is accounted for by a little protein
and acid. But strawberries are an
tiseptie-a valuable quality-and are
deservedly favorites.
Grapes have twice the quantity of
sugar compared with strawberries and
not SO much water.
In currants we get q change-a
fourth of the sugar and four times
as much acid as strawberries.
Oranges have five times as much
sugar as lemons and the same sort
of acid, but only a sixth Of the
quantity.
Prunes (dried) have twenty-six
parts of water, sixty-six of sugar, no
acid and some protein. Their ex-
cellence is apparent. But for value
as food the apple easily comes first.
Now when you eat fruit you know
that water, sugar and acid are what
you are really eating.

War Smothers Hearts.

One of the melancholy ~by-products
of war is the diminished valuation Of
human life to which it leads. We are
so stated with the horrors of the whole
sale destruction of men that the sink
ing of a ship with all on board creates
a ripple of comment, where, years
ago., as when the Titanic went down,
u minds would have been p~aralyzed
by the anguish u sympathetic imag-
nations compelled us TO share. War
that has been the making of man has
brought home his minuteness as an in
dividual.

The Title "Esquire."

What gives a man the right to be

from the French "ecuyer," a shield

applicable only to the younger sons of

SEWARD WINTER MILD COMP AIRED
 WITH NEW YORK

Judge $. O. Morford, who has just returned from spending the winter in the eastern states, seriously considers advertising Seward as winter resort. The judge has been in the north since the early days in Dawson and has lived in, and is familiar with ail kinds of winter weather, as it is done in Al aska. While in New York he was en- tertained with zero weather and nigh winds, and was glad when he stepped aboard train bound for Ohio. i;c was due for further disappointment, however, for there he found the same wind blowing and the thermometer registering Is below. He expected better things from Chicago, but upon arriving there the same weather pre- vailed and he spent all his time look ing at the scenery in the depot build ing The judge says that any east ernerS who want to talk business with him next winter will have to come to Seward to do it.
 Judge Morford was in New York City when diplomatic relations were severed, and says that the break was received with wild enthusiasm.
 "The people of the middle west" continued the judge, "did not seem to take the interest in the war that the residents of the Atlantic and Pacific coast states did All show unmistak- able signs of patriotism, however and will back the president to the last man.

N. [. A. MEETING OPENS IN JULY
 AT PORTLAND

The convention of the national edu- cational association is to be held this year in Portland, Oregon, during the week commencing July z.
 Besides Portland's well known gen erous hospitality there are other reasons for the convention being held there. One of them being the fact that if is the center of what was the original pioneering district of the Pa cific northwestn. Generals Grant and Sheridan compaigned in that vicinity against the Indians long before they established themselves as heroes in the civil war, and the first foothold that the white man really acquired on the Pacific coast was in that section.
 The headquarters of the Oregon Hostorical society are in Portland, and it's museum contains thousands of relics and remnants of the early days, many of which represent true stories of pioneer life that far excel the eff forts of fiction writers in interest.
 The members of the educational association will undoubtedly gain con siderable interesting historical in formation as well as a pleasant time during their stay in the city of roses.

English Actor Talks
Of War and Films
By Harriette Underhill

Sir Johnston Forbes Robertson is
just as delightful about being inter-
viewed as though he enjoyed it or as
though he needed the publicity; but
that is because he is the greatest actor
in the world and he knows some one
else needs the story.
He has just finished the Herbert
Brenon version Of "The Passing Of the
Third Floor Back" and now, alasl
comes the passing of the great actor
back to England.
Nothing could induce Sir Johnston to
stay on this side of the Atlantic, be-
cause he said that he felt he had no
right to be so comfortable over here
when there was so much for him to do
over there.
And Sir Johnston knows what 1t is
to watch the Zeppelins wheeling over
his inoffensive, defenceless abode, and
he knows, too, the fascination Of those

We can readily understand that it is
ignominious to have TO go underground
while the Prussians are enjoying nice
moonlight ride in the clouds; but "free

speech.

But women's growing freedom from
