forts men make to keep Christ out of
their lives, and the fact that though
the door was shut Christ stood in
of their efforts.
Vast numbers of people persistently
and steadily resist the supreme claim
that Christ undeniably makes upon
them. Yet Christ stands in their midst
and demands from them right intel
lectual judgment. His old question to
the Pharisees is the question he puts
to them: "What think We of Christ?
Whose son is he?" Now, no thinking
man can get away from these persist
ent questions; try as he may, they ever
recur, and insistently do they clamor
for an answer. Christ is a fact and
not fabrication. and as such demands
an explanation. Dismiss him today and
he is here tomorrow; turn him down
now, and he confrontS you in the next
moment. There is no door thick enough
nor bolt heavy enough to shut Christ

proportion is three-fourths cupful of
sugar to one cupful of juice. If the
pectin is thin and much separated, one
half cupful of sugar allowed for each
cupful of juice will be sufficient.
Quantity of Juice to cook.-The
quantity of juice to be cooked at one
time will depend upon the size of the
vessel and the methods of heating
available. The capacity of the vessel
used should be four times as great
as the volume of juice to be cooked. If
the attempt is made to cook a large
quantity of juice at one time over a
slow flame, there will be loss of color
and decrease in the yield, partly due
to the destruction of the pectin.
When to Add Sugar.-When the pro-
portion of sugar to juice has been de-
termined, measure the fruit juice and
place over the fire to cook. When the
juice begins to boil, add the sugar i'm

dissolved. By adding the sugar when

The argument advanced by the
vets that Prohibition would work
a hardship on the laboring man is
not supported by facts. The truth
is that closing the breweries and
distilleries and saloons would not
create ripple in labor circles.
According to the census report,
there were 6,6I6, o4r wage earners
in the country, and of this army
the liquor industry employed only
62,e2o, or less than I per cent.
OF these 62,92o, only about IS, 900
were specialists in the liquor
business such as brewers, malster /,
distillers and rectihers. Others
were teamsters, carpenters, engi-
neers, machinists, etc whose
vocations were not especially
identified with the liquor manu-
featuring business and could easily
therefore, find employment in their
own trade in other industries.
Breweries and distilleries which
have been converted into plants
for the manufacture of useful
commodities in Prohibition states
almost without exception are en-
ploying more men than when they
were engaged in the manufacture
Of poison for beverage purposes.
The country is short of help now,
and as the war progresses, there
will be more and more opportunity
Tor men to find employment. The
labor argument in support of the
booze business is as himsy as other
arguments advanced by the booze
apologists.

How Much Should We Eat?


How Much Should We Eat?
We hear so much about the wild s.
| spread. evils pf oyereating that the
question naturally arises, How
much should we eat?" and this is not
an easy question to answer We
certainly should not eat more food
than the body needs. Overeatlng
simply means taking more food than
the body needs. Oyereatlng simply
means taking more food than the
body consumes. The amount Of food
which Is consumed varies widely 10
dlfferent people; it varies in the same
person with the season Of the year
and the amount of muscular work
which be does; 1t also varies with the
age In cod weather when the
muscles are hard, and when we are
young, we consume much more food
than when we do but little work.
when the weather is hot, or ic old
age. However, each one should solve
the problem for himself. find out the
amount of food which be needs under
varying conditions, and take no more
food at any time than be needs.
About the only definite information
To be had in regard To the amount of
food which the body consumes is that
referring to What is known as the
high proteid ration, and to the low
proteid ration. The high proteid
ration assumes that the body REQUIRES
from three to five ounces of meat
food daily, and enough fats, starches
and sugars To make up "a total fuel
value of from $500 to 1000 calories
OF heat; while the low proteid rations
furnishes the body with from two to
two and half ounces of meat and
fuel food sufficient to make from
$500 to 3 900 units. These standards
are for an average man Weighing I65
pounds. The amount OF food needed
to make up these fuel values may be
roughly estimated when we remember
that large-sized slice of bread and
eutter represents 275 Galleries; thus
eleven slices Of bread and butter, or
its equivalent, is necessary each
twenty-f iur hours to furnish the
body with 1900 units.
Inasmuch as our food needs vary
so widely and are probably much less
than the above ratlons, the more
practical plan is simply 10 eat two
fairly guodsized meals day with
very light lunch at noon, always
taking our foods cooked so that they
will he easily digested, avoiding rich
foods, and masticating thoroughly.
by eating in this way and eating
lightly to always keep the
appetite and the desire for food
vigorous, never crowdlng our stomachs
with unwelcnme food, we will prob
ably approach very closely To the
amount of food needed under different
Conditions, and will reduce to a
