than made up by the high record in corn, potatoes, beans, tomatoes and other vegetables. But what Dr. Harris harps on is the deleterious ef- feet on health of overindulgence in meat. "The man or woman who eats meat three times a day." he says, "should learn that they are surely shortening their lives by so doing"
 High brow specialists in almost any science are apt to exaggerate. It is that way with the high brow medi- cal man. But Dr. Harris combines a large measure of common sense with his technical knowledge of hygienic laws, and every man or woman who stops to think will accept what he says as true; and in these conserva- tion days many people will govern themselves accordingly.
 Eat less protein food and live longer and live in greater comfort. Americans Learmimg
 to Speak French
 THE presence of American soldiers 0 in France and the prospect of their number being greatly increased in the near future has led to an ac- tive study of French throughout the United States. Heretofore Americans have felt we'll satisfied with them selves if they could pronounce cor rectly the French dishes on the aver age bill of fare. If they happened 1 to falter, courteous waiter signi- fled that he knew exactly what they | meant and proceeded to jot it down 
 French classes are being formed in all parts of the country. Many of them are taught without charge by professional teachers and others fa- miliar with the language who take this opportunity of performing pa triotic service If our troops, and the officers who will be lrawn from the reserve corps, do not earn French at home, they will be to master it as rapidly as hey can when they go abroad. They nay save themselves no little embar- assment and confusion by acquiring 1t least the rudiments of French be- ore they reach foreign soil.
 The only difficulty French pre- ents is in the pronunciation of words. Many Americans who read it with ase can hardly make themselves understood when speaking the lan- ,uage. There is more truth than poetry in the old wheeze about tour st French with a "Pittsburg accent.' Most Americans speak it that way.

Dr. Scale Harris
 On Meat Eaeing

1E EW feature articles appearing in J The Age Herald are of such ab- sorbing interest as those prepared by Dr. Scale Harris on the question of diet. Meat was the chief theme yesterday. Quoting from MT. Hoover on the importance of people eating less meat and supple menting that quotation by state- ment recently issued by the
 United States agricultural depart ment to the effect that our present meat supply is 100,0O0,000 pounds
 less than that of year ago, Dr. Har- ris gives practical advice for cutting down the quantity of daily meals, and does it so pleasantly as to make light food not only satisfying to the inner man, but positively attractive.
 If personal hygiene has been a hobby with some men and women troubled with indigestion, it has re- ceived little attention from the masses. The danger of a food short age as a result of war conditions has aroused government conservationists, who have in turn aroused the public in general. The agricultural depart ment began it's campaign of educa- ton and urging year ago. The great slogan was "Plant more stuff to eat" The next slogan was "Stop the waste" The farmers and the gar deners have done their part. The in creased acreage in food production will make the year 1917 the banner crop year of this country. The falling off in the wheat yield is much more

0T1 HE London Daily Mail in a recent
 editorial entitled We Must Eat
 Less Bread" gives resume of the reforms that will be brought about by the recent order of the British food controller. It is estimated that this or der which, went into effect in April, will reduce the consumption of meat by 6S per cent and bread by 53 per cent.
 A quotation from this editorial will give some idea of the food situation among those who are fighting our bat ties in Europe. It says:
 Every man and woman In private life should follow the general principles of the new order. so far as regards the meat,ess and potatoless days. Qn the same issue it says that potatoes have about disappeared from the London mar ket0 Tt is matter of urgent neces- sity to economize bread in every way posiible. All who can afford 1t ought as a duty to consume other forms of food instead, even though they be lux ures. MT. Kennedy Jones has well said that the nation would not suffer if all the turtle soup an caviare were eaten up. Expensive vegetables and fruits in and out of season, which are never seen on the table of the poor, are also avail able. Bread must be left for the poor.
 There are plenty of substitutes which can be served in the place of bread in any middle or upper class household Oatn1ea, barley, flour, rice flour and rice, to say nothing of lentils and nuts and maize, provide the cook with abundance of choice. Bread should be saved and spared in every conceivable manner and snor,d never henceforth be placed on the table ready cut or made into toast.

FIND GOLD IN
 WELL; TOWN OF
 CHINA STAKED

FAIRBANKS.-(Special.)-It was reported here that the entire town of Cinema had been Staked by citizens of the town for placer mining. The same report stated that coarse gold had been found at the bottom of a well which was dug there last fall.
 Maurice Newman, the agent for the \. C. Co.,, at Cinema, when questioned concerning the report, was a little re- ticent regarding the affair, but stated that number of claims had been Staked in the town.
 According to the information re- ceived here, some man, whose name could not be aScertained, dug a well near his cabin last fall, and recently good prospects were found in the dump near the well. An investigation of the bottom of the well showed coarse gold to exist there. How much was found, or whether it reached bed rock. could not be learned, but ac- cording to Newman a sufficient quan- tity was located to justify the stalking that has been done.
 According to one local mining man, coarse gold was found in tine dump near another well in Cinema severa' years ago. But, owing to the fact that it was impossible to reach bed, rock. on account of the waters of the Panama river breaking through, nc further attempt at prospecting was done at that time.

Mining Notes

Fred Wilson, a miner on Cripple mountain, in the Iditarod country, be- lieves he has struck tungsten ore, and is sending samples of his find outside for assay.
 Swanson and Halyerson, on Fourth July creek at Ruby, have sunk shaft through the soft Schist bedrock, and found bed of gravel, The shaft Is on the extreme left limit of the creek claim, which includes. part of the bench at that place. This is directly up the hill from where the rich spots were found last year. It has been held by many that the rich spots werS only sloughings from the real pay. c. K. Snow and Wm. Warren, on the bench about half a mile up the creek from Swanson, have struck hard bed rock :a two holes and will sink farth- CT back on the first tier benches in their effort to find the pay. There are seven prospecting boilers operating on Foley creek. There are no lay men on the creek yet, those working being owners.
 Sulue of the finest looking ore seen in tlre Klondike has been secured by the veteran prospector, Nick Dona- hue, from his property which lies along the ridge in the vicinity of the heads of Gold Run creek and Porv- land and Caribou benches. Several hundred pounds of the rock have been brought to the city, and it is the in- LenIlOn Ol VII. bOudiluS IO bdhC Ous large quantity this year, he states, and to have shipment made to the shelter. The maih body of the rock is of a crystalline nature with iron stain, and most of it is free milling. Donahue says "thiS rock has been as saved by local assayers of the big companies and outside assayers, and the lowest return we have received is SIS a ton, while the highest was S402.19 to the ton.
 On her last trip to the North the City of Seattle brought to Skagway from the states several men and one woman bound for the interior, among the number being Col. A. M. Dewey and J. L.
