FOOD AND NERVOUSNE SIS
By H. AddingtOn Bruce

THE specialist in nervous diseases had made
careful examination of his patient. He had
found her free from any organic malady that
would account for the seepessness, restlessness,
and nervous anxiety of which she complained. Now
he said to her:
Il want you for the next three days to write out
after every meal detailed report of the kind and
amount of the food you have eaten
There is nothing seriously wrong with you.
What you need most of all is cultivate a
cheerful view of life. But your nervousness may
be partly due to disturbances of nutrition. Your
diet reports will throw light on that"
And, in fact, this question of nutrition is to
be taken into account by all sufferers from func-
tional nervous trouble of general character.
If it be true-as it undoubtedly is-that nerv
anxiety from any will throw the nutritive
system out of balance 1t is equally true that when
this system is disturbed nervous anxiety may be a
resultant symptom. The reason is not far to seek
When a man is we'll nourished, when his diges-
ton is proceeding smoothly, and his food is being
organic well-beng that of itself tends to make him
life through rose-colored spectacles.
But let his food supply be unduly lessened, or,
especially, unduly increased. Unpleasant
changes in nerve sensations will soon make them
selves felt He may not recognize their origin.
But he does know that he feels organically weak
or irritated as the case may be.
His whole tendency then is to react excessively
to any disturbing experience. If something occurs
which ordinarily would cause him at most a slight
feeling of annoyance it may readily become
source of morbid worry.
And nervous exhaustion follows fast on morbid
worrys heels.
consider your dietetic needs Make a systematic
survey of, question yourself vigorously about the
food you eat.
Is it sufficient in quantity? Are you, per-
chance, eating more food than you really ought to
eat. so that you digestive apparatus is sadly over
burdened?
Or you ndiscreet in your choice of food
with the result that you poisoning yourself
rather than nourshing yourself?
If, unaided, you cannot answer these questions
satisfactorily, give your doctor opportunity to
help you answer them. Go and have talk with
him about your eating habits. If he desires it,
give him written report on them
Your nervousness, to be sure, may not be de
pendent on dietetc errors But there is always .
chance that dietetic may have much to do
with ii. And you ought by no means to overlook
this chance

For the nations good and for their own good,
these States change this inefficient and really
dangerous condition of affairs. Every bushel of
surplus grain and every pound of surplus meat the
West can produce this year will be needed for mil
itary and for expectation. Prices will be high,
no matter how abundant the harvests; but they
will be insunerably high If the South continues to
take from other sections a billion, three hundred
and eighty-four million dollars worth of foodstus
which it ought to raise at home. Every of
these twelve States is capable, far natural
sources go, of subssting almost entirely upon its
own soil Certainly that ought to be the steadfast
and ardent purpose of every one of them, now that
the nation will need and need critically all the
food supplies it get.
For the purpose of discussing these problems
and of working out effective plan of action there
will be held in Atlanta this week, in response to
call from the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, a con-
ference of farmers, merchants and bankers from all
parts of Georgia and neghboring States. There
could be sounder service in the of national
defense and preparedness for the towering respon-
sibilities which country faces. Every county
in this State and State in this region should
be represented in this council for agricultural
mobilization and should lend it every possible aid

The South Must Mobilize
Its Agricultural Strength.

In the which is upon us the question OF
food supply will be of fundamental concern. NO
matter how well we mobilize military material
and industrial power unless we mobilize agricul-
tural resources also the nations strength will be
woefulIy hampered and its vital interests will sur
fer. The men in the army and navy and munltlon
plants and every field of service all must de-
pend on the man behind the pillow. Further, one
of the effective things we can do to thwart
the U-boat campaign and bring Germany TO an au-
mission of defeat is to take over as FAR as possoe
the task of provisioning England and France NO"
that we are forced into the the food problem
of those countries becomes essentially a problem
of our own, because their armies are already IN
the field fighting the battles on whose outcome the
future of America, of the world, depends. IL is
just as important to that England and France
are not starved II is to see that our own needs
supplied.
This cannot be done, however unless there is a
great increase in production of food staples We
short on all the basic commodities There
must be enormous output Of grain If this country
is to be fed at reasonable prices and is to have any
surplus for the Allies Last years lean harvest has
led to the exhaustion of virtually the entire wheat
reserve. and there is corresponding shortage or
corn and oats. For twenty years more the pro-
ducton foodstus in the United States has failed
to keep pace with the increase in population Al
ways serious the resultant problems have become
crucial now that face which demands
every sinew of our national strength.
Especially grave is the responsibility confront
ing those States which heretofore have subordi-
mated food crops to cotton. The Georgia Chamber
of Commerce, in it's campaign for an increased
food acreage, recently compiled from official
sources group of figures that truly astounding
in their disclosures. Twelve Southern States are
dependent upon other sections for food staples
amounting to the of billion, three hun

expenditures are for corn, oats, hay, meat, dairy

The Winning Campaign

The Allied successes in Palestine lend fresh in

against the Turks. News that a British army is
approaching the City of the Holy Sepulchre comes

and Occur de Lion. The operations evidently are
being conducted upon broad lines and with a far
reaching purpose. The column which on March
the seventh reported to be within forty miles
of Jerusalem has been supported, 1t appears by a
larger force advancing northward along the Med
iterranean coast This force is credited with de-
feating Turkish army of twenty thousand, hun
