Beer a Food for Athletes

There is no stronger Endorsement of beer as a food
than that of the professional athletic coach who main
tains a strict and scientific diet for his men in training.

Ebbetts of the Brooklyn Nationals, said: I'VE would
request a simple dinner. with light beer and no other
stimulant." 49,
John Burke. trainer Of the New York Americans. In
accepting the same invitation. requested "a good Amer
lean dinner and plain American beer" 49,.
TIC Flanagan. famous athlete and trainer, says: Il
have always maintained that beer is the best upbuider
and sustainer next to beefsteak that a man under a
steady grind for long periods can take. There must be
moderation. Of course. in this as in other foods, and

HIGH CHURCH COUNCIL IN RUS.
SIA.

PETROGRAD, August 28-(Bn Un-
ion Associated Press)-An ecumenical
council Of the Russia Greek Ortho-
dox Church met here today, Assump-
ton Day. The meeting is the first one
since Peter the Great, having abol-
ished the patriarchate, forced the
church under the control of the auto
cracy. More than 200 church reform
ers are taking part in the meeting.
During the revolution of 1905 Count
Witte offered to allow the church to
convoke the council on the condition
that it handed over to the state its
boards Of money, gold and precious
stones.
The Ecumenical Council comprises
members acting ex-officio and repre-
sentatives elected by the clergy and
laity. In the elections women will be
given equal rights with men. This is
a highly modern concession, as the
Orthodox Church, traditionally and
and by dogma, does not favor the
participation of women in ecclesiasti.
cal lif- The Council appeals for "sa.
cred inspired labor for the good Of the
church, and for the election Of worthy
Councillors"

WASHINGTON, August 28-lBy
Union Associated Press)-When Uncle
Sans soldiers get weary between bat
ties, it is not intended that they shall
feel that they are fighting for the

soldier at the front with "back home
pal" will receive the full sanction and
support of the government, as far as
possible, It is officially stated. Among
the things the soldiers pal is supposed
to do are: To see that he is provided
with such articles to furnish personal
conveniences, etc., as the Government
is not in a position to furnish at the
present time; to write at least q fort
nightly letter and to prompt the SOL
diers friends and acquaintances to do
likewise. .
