Jack has SO far escaped unscathed, al
though he has been in the thickest part OF
the fighting.
In describing the death of Sergeant Trout
tho clipping from the English newspaper
read:
Sergeant Thomas Trout was killed In
action on Sunday week. Tommy Trout, as
he was known in the battalion. was very
popular with all the ranks, and his COM
panions were delighted when he was
awarded the military medal in recognition
of his splendid work during the operations
early last May. lie went to France last
January as lance corporal and soon proved
his worth. Rapid promotion followed and
he fell at his post like the brave soldier
that he was, for he was absolutely fearless,
as was shown in tho attack on May 3.
The deepest sympathy was felt for his wife
and parents in Wath, and also for his two
brothers, who are serving In the same unit"

very important In appearance the bon
net resembles what an American would
call cap. There are two styles of bon
nets, the Balmoral and the Glengarry, the
latter being q more modern style Of head
gear.
"As to the comparative merits of the
Balmoral and Glengarry, a Highland
officer declares: The sole advantage pos.
sessed by the Glensarry over the older
style OF bonnets is its smarter appearance,
but this is generally overdone by its being
worn in too small size and perched too
far on the side of the head so that it too
easily falls off. As a serviceable headgear
for rough wear it cannot be compared to
the Balmoral'
I'm the opinion of this officer, the Bal.
moral bonnet should be worn well down
on the head, with only slight cock over
the right ear
Certainly soldier is handicapped by
q headdress tilted at such angle that
IL is likely to fall of at any minute! A
woman can move about with utmost free.

down sidewise, so that one of her eyes
is entirely closed and out of action. But
a man cannot hope thus to rise above
fetter, shackle and impediment."

IL Is surprising how many acquaint-

difference In ones life. There may be
hosts of men and women YOU call friends
persons who would perhaps do some big

for whom you would make sacrifices, but
how many OF them have vital interest in
yeur life? A bare handful, at most.
When anything does happen to remove
these three or four chosen ones. you have
that feeling OF being cut loose from every.
thing. Samuel johnson must have ex.
perfepced such unhappiness when he said.
"A man should keep his friendship in
constant repair. II he does not make new
acquaintances through life he will soon
md himself alone" II is hard for the
girl who is not sociably inclined to realize
this. She has few friends in her own

In the Southern woman's Magazine
writes:
Through sentiment the French soldiers
clung desperately to their red trousers
ana the Highlanders to their kits and
their blue bonnets.
when urged that the bright hue of
Their neither garments made them an
easy mark for the enemy, the French
soldiers pleaded that the cloth would

that they might as we'll be allowed to
keep the red trousers. And as things
turned out-with the up.to-date guns

Vitamines
What are the "yitamines" in food?

What are the "vitamincs" In food?
WILLIAM y.
Recent scientific research has led to the
discovery Of a new class of food principles
known as vitamnes. These substances
differ from other food principles in that
though they do not enter into the compost
ton of the body-that is, they are not essen
tial to the structure of any tissue or organs
they are, nevertheless, absolutely essential
for the maintenance Of the growth and the
repair Of the organs of the body.
Vitamines are among the most subtle or
all known substances. They are active In
extremely small amounts Chemists are not
vet able to tell us what their composition
ls but It is known that their action is due
to a certain stimulating or regulating infiu-
ence which they exercise upon the various
functions and activities of the body. Their
relation to the energy Of the body may be
compared to the spark which eTplodes
powder magazine. They set in operation
the forces which release energy and carry
forward the various life processes. They
are abundantly found in fruits. green and
root vegetables, and in fresh milk and but
ter fat. Because they are probably par
TALLY or wholly destroyed by cooking at
high temperatures It Is necessary to eat
daily some uncooked food in order to be
sure to get sufficient vitamlnes

Hyperacidity

have a very acid stomach. The doctor
call. II hyperacldty. What causes this cond-
tlon7 DOUGLAS u.
The immediate cause of excessive acidity
Of the stomach Is generally an excessive
formation OF hydrochloric acid. There may
be several causes for this Probably the
most common cause Is an inactive state OF
the bowels. or chronic autointoxlcatlon.
Posons formed in the intestines and alb
sorbed, being excreted Into the stomach,
overexcite the gastric glands Another
cause Is hasty eating, IN consequence of
which food is retained for too long a time
in the stomach. giving rise to excessive
irritation of the mucous membrane. The
free use OF meat is perhaps the most i'm
portant OF all causes which can be mem
toned. The soluble substances OF the meat,
which give to It its peculiar flavor, are
most powerful stimulants of the gastric
glands Pawlow showed that the gastric
Juice produced by eating meat is much more
acid than that produced by broad, milk and
other food substances. Copious drinking at
meals and the use of condiments may also
give rise to hyperacidty.

THE GOOD HEALTH

By DR.. JOHN HARVEY KELLOGG
Diet


Food IL the basis of all human energy
and activity. Food bears the same rela'
tion TO the body that fuel does TO the loco
motive. Every large manufacturer makes a
constant and careful study Of the fuels used
In the furnaces of his steam boilers The
value OF coal is determined by Its fuel value
its ability to produce steam and to drive
machinery Food Is fuel. Unless proper food
is supplied in correct proportions the bodily
forces fail Life Is dependent on food
II is apparent, then, that there must be a
close relstion between diet and efficiency.
The man whose habits Of eating are
wrong Is greatly handicapped in his every
day work or study lie is not getting full
energy out Of his body machine. His speed,
his endurance. his productiveno1s are dlmln-
ished by his detetic errors
Even men Of wonderful business acumen
often give little or no thought to their diet,
or that their subordinates further than
TO provide three square meals day. But
n new generation of business men is spring
ing UP. Many Of the men who preside over
the great industries Of the country are fully
awake to the important fact that efficiency
the ability TO get things donc--is closely
related TO diet, as we'll as to other matters
which affect bodily conditions.
Dietetics is n real and an exact science.
II is not q matter Of guesswori hoy much
a man should eat per day or what foods are
best adapted 10 various morbid conditions.
The properties and values of foods have
been studied by the same methods which
have determined the qualities and values or
soils and ores. The laboratory has deter
mined the exact values and patient research
and careful clinical observation have solved
such multitude Of questions pertaining
to diet that one rarely need be at q loss to
know what are his dietetic needs.
