perhaps the most awakening which
has appeared thus far was that in
Saturdays issue entitled, Education
the Remedy"
Scientific subjects, no matter how
popularity discussed, do not appeal to
laymen as a rule, unless they be in
vested with a good deal of human in
terest. What to eat and what not to

every man and woman wants to know
about.
DR.. Harris gives the schools and
colleges credit for the wonderful NOR
al and industrial growth of the coun-
try, but stresses the fact that they
have neglected the important. study
of foods and nutrition. He thinks
the American people eat more ration

The Germans with all their educa-

set every person to thinking, and
brain and body will be greatly bene-
fitted thereby.

they couldn't resist the temptation to
boast about it.

Musical shows will be numerous next
season, to entertain the tired business
man and help other people to forget
about the war.
There are still a few people in Eng
