- the best way to determine the eff

out, in his Bureau Of Standards report, that

For Jewish Soldiers.

The organization Of separate COM
panies of men of Jewish birth has
wisely been avoided. There is no rea-
son for drawing any such line. On
the other hand, great deal Of ad-
mirable relief and welfare work done
for soldiers and their families at home
has been effectively accomplished by
social organizations, churches, racial
groups 1t is only good sense to take
advantage Of every natural impulse in
appealing to the public for aid.
Best results have been secured
through intensive campaigns Such a
drive will begin on Dec. 3 and continue
through Dec 16, on behalf OF Jewish
war relief and of welfare work among
Jewish soldiers and sailors. In these
days Of enormous funds the amount
asked for is very modest, only $1,000
600, The subscription should run far
over that limit
Men or women OF Jewish birth have
proven in every department of public
and private life that where national
interests are involved they are loyal
Americans. 1t is in order for theil
fellow-citizen Of whatever derivation
to join them in meeting the special
needs of their coreligionists

The Russian Peace Plan.

II is characteristic of the plan of
the Russian Reds" for peace that the
army is to be withdrawn and demob-
ilized first and the peace venture set
on foot later. In other words the
radicals are going to quit first and
then ask other combatants II they
would like to quit
This scheme of the anarchists is
just what was expected of them Com
pleting the collapse of Russian par
ticipation In the war will injure
America and her allies and aid Ger
many and that Is the Reds sole
motive. TO hold the remnants of the
Russian army together even while
pseudo-peace negotiations we're under
way would delay the assistance that
Germany has bought and paid for and
even delay is obnoxious.
Nickolai Lenine and Leon Trotzky,
premier and foreign minister of the
alleged Russian government, profess
to have worked out their peace plans
to conclusion that leaves no chance
for failure. II the governments OF
the belligerent countries do not ac-

Needless Waste in Food
stufs.

It is nothing short of criminal that
whole trainloads of perishable food
stuffs should stand in railroad yards
until destroyed by frost or decay
while food is scarce and prices high.
The usual prescription will be adj
yanced that something ought to be
done about it." Yet the something that
should be done is something that can
not be done just now That this con-
dition exists may be partly the fault
of INSCRIPTIONS persons but that it
is possible for it to exist is due to the
hopeless lack OF distribution methods
throughout the country Had some
definite and workable plan been de-
vised several years ago there would
be no dispute now whether the raif-
roads. middlemen, commission men,
spectators, shippers or just plain alb
normal conditions are to blame. Hay-
ing learned that distribution won't
take care of itself some such method
undoubtedly will be worked out in
the future unless Americans in their
happy lucky way forget about their
dangers as soon as they are temper
arily past
What might be done 10 years hence
doesn't help conditions this winter
however. The breakdown in our sys-
ten of distribution of foodstuffs can
not be repaired entirely in a few days
or few weeks but it can be relieved
Deliberate failure TO unload consign-
ments, the practice of compelling
buyers to pay without inspection, the
sidetracking Of perishables for non
perishables and other everyday abuses
can be eliminated. The something
that ought to be done is not per
manent remedy but it can be half
effective one.

The Adenoid Cough.

Young adults as well as young chill

called adenoids ''growths The ade-

result Of the same conditions as are
known to cause enlargement OF the

our opinion, only through personal
contact indoors. We believe that res

Children or young adults with thick

bodies usually have more or less

morning coughing, as rule; but
there are periods when it is harsh

perhaps, an alarming cough. These
periods represent temporary exaeerba-

Your opinion on this question will be

Answer-Dampness is of no signif-
