Homesickness is one of the things
that the Y. M. C. A. has to combat
among the soldiers. Boys who have
never been away from home before,
thrown into strange surroundings,
their little world turned topsy turvy,
find themselves lonesome and heart
sick. They turn to the Y. M. c. A.
for friendship and they find it. 1t is
the nearest thing to home that they
come in contact with. II this help
was the only thing that the Y. M. C.
A. accomplished it. would be worth
the price that 1t costs, but the Y. M.
c. A. is one of the strongest factors
making for better morale in the ar
my.
1t furnishes the men with enter
tainment, amusement, a place to read
and write. 1t furnishes writing pa

helps them in their physical, moral,

It Is their club, a place where they
are always welcome. To continue
this work and extend It among the
armies Of Russia, France and Italy,

Council Of the Y. M. C. A. is raising
the sum Of $35, 100000. The drive
will be conducted from November
IL to 10. Every one Is asked to con-
tribute. The money is used to make
the soldier boy happier and more con-
tented in his army life. 1t Is all for
him. Every cent is used for his well
fare.

semblance ends.
Rice of the kind described in the
bulletin is not a substitute for the
potato. The potato contains six times
as much calcium, twenty times as
much phosphorus and five times as
much iron as head rice.
The rice bulletin says. Starch gives
strength to the body. Rice contains so
much more starch than potatoes that
ii is therefore much better as a
strength giving food"
Starch is not only not strength
giving food. but, in the absence of the
calcium, phosphorus and iron found so
abundantly in me potato, it becomes
worthless as a food. In fact, 1t will
not only not support life but will ac-
tually hasten the approach of death.
Buy standard grade of head rice. "
says the bulletin. Standard grade
head rice is polished rice. denatured
rice, rice robbed of the very elements
most essential to normal nutrition.
Because it is known that standard
grade head rice is deficient in thes ,
elements the army and navy of Japan
forbid it's use by the Japanese soldiers
and sailors.
For the same reason the United
States government forbids it's use in
the hospitals, prisons, and workshops
OF our insular possessions.
There are hundreds of experiments
now on record demonstrating this fact.
The latest bulletin on the subject was
issued by the United States Public
Health Service, April, 1916. The di-
tors and publishers of bulletins de-
signed to influence the dietary habits
of the American people should at
least know of the existence of these
facts whether they quote them for the
enlightenment of their readers or no.
