Britain Feeds 22,OOO Prisoners in Dc tention Camp at S2 Per Man
 Per Week.

Douglas Isle of Man, Jan. 26.-As an experiment in communal feeding, the British Governments camp for war prisoners at Knockaloe is the big gest and most successful thing of it's kind ever attempted in the British Isles. Here 22,00O prisoners are housed and fed at figure which averages only $2 per man, per week.
 The capital cost of the camp, which was built on farm land in the north Of the Isle of Man. was s1,250,OOO. This figure covers the building of all the barracks and administrative off, ces, Kitchens, streets, sewage, water and electricity plants, telephones, and all the other essentials of a modern city. On basis of population of 25,o0O the cost of building this prison

camp city figures out at about $50 for each inhabitant.
 The question of food as related to health has been prime consideration with the British officials from the start. Our dietary" explained the commandant has been constantly observed and studied scientifically by a staff of medical men, who from time to time make such changes as experience dictates,- The cooking is all done by the men themselves, and the excellent results they achieve are not to be wondered at when it is re- membered that they have among them some of the finest chefs of the big English hotels and restaurants. At one time their table was so much superior to that the English officers mess that the officers discharged their English cook and requisitioned one of the prisoners, who has been in charge of their kitchen ever since"
 The health of the prisoners bears testimon to the adequacy of the food provided. In this improvised town of 25,000 inhabitants, there have been only 70 deaths in two years--a year ly death rate of less than 1.5 per thousand. This compares with death rate in all England of 13.3 or in the United States of about 14.1

 Asking the bessing has reached a point where it is more a habit than a Christian duty, a mere matter of form, as it were. Sometimes we are in a hurry to catch 8 train and have little time for preliminaries. Wouldn't it be well. therefore, to ask one long blessing at the beginning of each week and let that suffice? Isn't it overworking the Lord to ask Him to bestow a blessing three times a day with all the rest of His tasks? I have seen men so set in this habit that they would open a meal with grace and close it by cussing the tough meat or soggy biscuits. In such masses it would be more fitting to ask the blessing at the tail end of the meal, if it deserves it, for surely

 The military authorities have de- cred that still more men must be released from the railways for army service. This will inevitably mean some reduction of work and the only economies which appear possible, ac- cording to the railway managers, are connected with the passenger train service and in securing greater expe- d.tion on the part of shippers in handling freight traffic.
 No cheap holiday fares have been announced this year for the Christ mas holidays, and there will be no ex- tension of the train services. Never theless the seaside resorts have been advertising eXtensivly and are making preparations for the usual holiday crowds.
