FEEDING THE BOY.
Give Every Healthy Youngster the
Diet His System Graves.

The growing boy-the active, heal
thy, normal boy-is a better judge
Of his diet than mother or father OF
doctor. He needs every kind of food
plenty Of it and his system will nat
urally crave for just those foods that
are best for him.
Such, in substance, is the theme OF
an article in the National Food Mag
azine by DR.. II. E. Barnard
There are two kinds of fOOd-pro-
teins, with which the body is built
up, and the growing boy needs as
much of these as the full grown man
often more; carbohydrates, which are
the fats and sugars and starches
that supply heat and energy.
The boys protein food need not al
be meat. DR.. Barnard says lit is bet
ter that no small part of this nitro
genous food come from milk and eggs
cheese, beans and peas. II he has
plenty Of these rich and relatively
cheap foods he will not crave meat ST
inordinately as some growing boys
do" DR.. Barnard continues:
The boy needs a large quantity O.
carbohydrates. That is why his de-
mand for bread and butter is limited
only by the supply at hand and wher
he uses almost as much butter a.
bread, do not stint him. By the pount
butter is expensive but it is pure
wholesome food and he can use i
readily. 1t will not make him ill
quite the contrary.
And do not be afraid OF sugar ant
sweet foods. Sugar is a true concen
trated food. Give him candy for des
sert. He Graves it and his craving i.
natural, not abnormal
The boys instincts will lead hin
to choose the all around diet he
needs"

 SINKING OF SHIP

boat to come alongside the subna- rine. Five of our men were ordered aboard his boat and he transferred five of his crew to the lifeboats, which was then pulled to the Illinois. These men then placed seven minute bombs alongside the ship and in the engine room, which exploded in due course.
 "Our five men were taken off the submarine and I asked the commander if he would tow us toward land. He replied, have no time We then pro- ceeded under sail and oars for Alder ney and 10 miles from it we were picked up and taken in tow by two motorboats that had observed us and came to our assistance.
 'The submarine commander took no measures for the safety of the crew and continued smelling until they were in their boats The Illinois did not try to escape or resist. One man was in jured by shell fire The submarine had no flag showing when first observed. It was six and a half hours after shelling the Illinois when the crew reached the harbor."

 If we had not shown our light we might have escaped. At S:15 o'clock Wednesday evening, with moderate breeze and choppy sea, was in the cabin when aroused by terrific con cussion. All the lights went out and l rushed on deck in my shirt sleeves to stop the engines. I found that torpedo had gone through amidships at the spot where the ships name was illuminated q brightly. wrecking the engine room The light clearly served as a target.

 BIG LOAN SUGGESTED
 Suggestions placed before the Pres ident today included the possibility of floating loan of s5.o00. 0o0.0o0 for the entente nations. The proposal made by Governor Harding of the federal reserve board in recent speech at New York that the government lend the allies $1.000,000.000 was thought to be inadequate by some of the Pres ident's advisers. The banks of the country, it was pointed out, are in a position of strength today never be- fore approximated in their history. The latest report of the comptroller of the currency >Sows the resources of the federal reserve system to be greater than those of all the chief belligerents combined. Nearly all the huge accre- tions of money that have poured into the country during the two and one half years of war could be made avail able for use in war, whether expended by this government or by other gov ernments engaged in fighting a com mon enemy,
 sufficient size to conduct aggressive warfare has not yet been raised and would have to be trained and equipped American dollars, 1t was pointed out, need no training and are abundant.

The submarine submerged and approached. About 10 minutes later. the distance then from us being about two miles, the subma rine opened fire.

Help the Wounded
The womar.'s Companion says

The Womar'S Companion says
 "A most important organization was founded in Paris last May in behalf of the desperately wounded men in the hos pitals within the military zone, and chris tered Le Bienetre du Blesse' (the well being of the wounded). In the capital and in all the provincial towns, groups of ladies provide the convalescents with the dainty food that tempts numb appetites and may be retained by stomaches weak from loss of blood and severe operations. The government. with it's memorable miIi- tary discipline, provides, as in less com plicated wars, only milk and eggs in the dietry kitchen and although there are several hundred hospitals in the war zone there are no ministering angels to sup ply the deficiency
 Thousands of men and women have an idiosyncratic dstaste for milk and eggs when well; to swallow either when i'll is a physical impossibilty In con sequence, so many valuable officers and soldiers have succumbed through sheer hamilton, before they could be moved out of the war zone, that the health depart ment of the war office asked the Coun- tess q dHaussonville, president of the Red Cross, to form an organization by which money and Supplies might be obtained by voluntary subscription. This she did with tho aid of group of the most distin- guished women in French society, many of whom are American born.
 "If anyone of you who read this page could visit the hospitals in the war zone, all of them situated either in or close by small towns or villages half in ruins and liable to constant bombardment, or in once important towns, gray, dreary, de- serted, visited daily by the bomb dropping aeroplanes, which make a point of search ing out the Red Cross, and if you could see these patient men. often with both legs suspended in framework, and with open wounds irrigated by rubber tubing connected with an inverted bottle, still more often with an arm or a leg gone, and if you could see those long white wards, clean but indescribably bare, through whose windows comes no sound but the constant roar of cannon that IS moving down their comrades, there is not one of you but would hasten to do some thing for the comfort of these suffer- CTS or to advance their recovery

ran in all directions, necessitating a quick getaway. I found that my boat. No. l, apparently having been cut from the tow line prematurely, had capsized near the ship and none of it's occupants was seen again.
 Meanwhile the Healdton was settling down fast by the stern. One or two poor fellows in. the bunkers never came up, and l expect that they were killed there by the explosion. I just had time to jump into No. 2 boat.
 "The submarine came up once and looked at the sinking snip. No signs could be seen on the submarine, which immediately dived again. In 20 minutes 1t was all over Then came 12 hours in open boats, insufficiently clad and .ex- posed to bitter hail and snowstorms. un- til We were picked up by the trawler Java. There was one Spaniard in my boat whose clothes had been burned off. He died of exposure
 According to my calculations we were well within the so-called safe channel when the Healdton was torpedoed."

The extensive programme of the navy department in the matter of build ing warships will create the demand for a large number of exTa men.

Higher Rdtes Are NoW Requested

Washington, March 23.-The chief rail- roads of the east today petitioned the interstate commerce commission to amend it's rules to permit general in- crease in all freight rates.
 Western railroads notified the comms- sion that they, too would ask for a gen. eral increase in freight rates and prob ably will follow the eastern roads in ask ing for suspension of the rules.
 Southern roads are expected to take similar action.
 The proposed increases probably will range between 10 and 15 per cent, accord ing to location of the roads, with indica- tions pointing to a flat increase of 15 per cent being requested in the case of the eastern roads, which carry the great volume of the country's traffic.
 Announcement of the increase desired for eastern roads probably will be made by the conference of railroad presidents in New York tomorrow.
