not enter into negotiations before
Knowing our conditions. they can learn
these from President Wilson to whom

the entente reply to President Wilson's
note proposing a discussion of peace
terms. Colonel E. NJ. House, the
Presidents friend and adviser arrived

unwrittcn rules of the senate. was the
sensation Of speech in which the
senator declared that although he ac-
ccpted in full faith President Wilson's

On the ground that the senate as the
only legislative body in the world hav-

action which might aftcrward become
of aid to one set of beligerents, SEN
ator Lodge led the opposition to the

by other Republicans among them
Senator Gallnger the Republican
leader, and Senator Borah.
Senator Hitchcock led the fight for
his resolution in which he was sup

Gallinger Substitute.

it a substitute resolution by Senator
Gallinser which merely would say:
That the senate of the United
States in the interests of humanity

hope that peace between the warning

The Hitchcock resolution would
say:

Fams and tho Editor.

Fame, 50 difficult a possession to obtain, lies oftener than one usually thinks in the power of the press.
 Oscar Browning in his "Memories of Sixty Years" tells how Fox, then editor of the Monthly Repository, settled the fate of Robert Brown ing's Pauline" when it first ap- peared by the mere word "balder- dash"
 The explanation given is that "a single line was required to complete the page, and the editor, taking up the first book on which he could lay his hand and thinking it insignif- cant and pretentious, described it as I have stated above"
 Oscar Browning declares that the poet said "that by this accident his public recognition had been delayed for twenty years."

Preaching Monksya

The author of "The History of Brazil" tells of a species of monkey called "preachers." Every morning and evening these monkeys assem- ble in the woods. One takes a high CT position than the rest and makes a signal with his forepaw. At this signal the others sit around him and listen. When they are all seated he begins to utter series of sounds. When he stops these cries he makes another, signal with his paw, and the others cry out until he makes a third signal, upon which they be- come silent again. This author, MT. Margrove, asserts that he was wit ness to these preachings.

CHEMISTRY OF \ MAN.
Anaiysis sf the eubstanoss in . Normal
 Human Body.

knAlyoao ot tho oupetahooS Ih . NOFS0ot
 Human Body.
 A German investigator has 1e- gently calculated that 100 dozen eggs would hold all the chemical clements which would go to make up a man weighing 15O pounds. This does not mean that fl you made an enormous omelet of these r,2oO eggs 2 man would be produc- ed. It does mean that the clements in the eggs would be equal to the clements in this man.
 If 8 person were to eat nothing except eggs he would get just the chemicals needed for supporting life, but the human system would not digest an exclusive diet like this, and the person trying to live on eggs alone would soon sicken, and if the diet were not changed would die.
 If an average man weighing 150 pounds were reduced to 2 fluid he would yield 3,630 cubic feet of illu- minating gas and hydrogen, or enough to fill balloon that would carry 155 pounds.
 If the normal human body were taken just as it is and all of the elements extracted from it there would be found enough iron to make seven large nails, enough fat for fourteen one-pound candles, enough carbon to make the lead in si1ty-fve gross of pencils and phos- phorus enough to tip S20,00o matches. Besides all this would be found twenty teaspoonful. of salt, fifty Jumps of sugar and thirty eight quarts of water.
 Thus it is evident that human being is . great chemical factory and the value of a man in actual material Is considerable.
 The hundred dozen eggs would yield precisely the same quantities of these chemical elements, and at the present high price of eggs most people might prefer to have the eggs rather than the man.-New York Sun.

Sister of Wrangell Woman
 Doing a Wonderful Work

The Vancouver Daily Province of December 2Ist contains a large picture of Mrs. Duf-Stuart, a sis- ter of the wife of Capt. R. Smith of WrangelI.
 Mrs. Duff Stuart has been regent of Admiral Jellicoe Chapter of the Daughters of the Empire at Van- couver, and under her able direc- tion the Chapter has been a lesson in industry. Since its organization the Chapter has sent Over ten thous- and articles to Europe.
 Recently Mrs. Duff Stuart has been active in the work of caring for returned soldiers, and this work claimed her attention to such an ex- tent that she found it necessary to resign as regent of Admiral Jelli- COG Chapter. In view of the motive which prompted her resignation it was accepted, but in recognition of her noble work in promoting patri- otic endeayor she was made hon. orary regent of the Chapter she had so faithfully served.
 Mrs. f-Stuart is the wife oi Col. James Duff Stuart who is in charge of the British forces in Brit ish Columbia.
