INDIVIDUALS NEEDS IN FOOD
AS to the Suitability of the Diet Every
Man, Woman and Child Is
Law to Himself.

One condition of good digestion Is
that the food presented to the stomach
be suitable to the individual, that 1t
be sound, well cooked and not exces-
sive in quantity. AS to the suitability
of the sort of food, every man, woman
and child is a law to himself, and
much of the indigestion deplored Is
caused by kindly tyrants, who insist
on their family and guests eating what
suits the tyrant and not the victims.
One robust and genial head of the
household Of active habits and out
door occupations thrives on a large al
lowance in which meat is q chief con-

CHAPTER XXI.
At Sleepy Cat.

Nothing in nature, not even the
storm itself, is so cruel as the beauty
Of the after calm. In the radiance of
the sunshine next day De Spain, deli
rious and muttering, was taken to the
hospital at Sleepy Cat. In an adjoin-
ing room lay Nan, moaning reproaches
at those who were torturing her reluc-
tantly back to life. Day and night the
doctors worked over the three. The
town, the division, the stagemen and
the mountain men watched the out
come of the struggle. From as far as
Medicine Bend railroad surgeons came
to aid in the fight.
De Spain cost the most acute anxi-
ETY.. The crux of the battle, after the
three lives were held safe, centered on
the effort to save De Spaln's arm--the
one he had chosen to lose, if he must
lose one, when he strapped it to the
whifietree. The day the surgeons
agreed that if his life were to be saved
the arm must come off at the shoulder
a gloom fell on the community.
In lifetime of years there can come
to the greater part of us but few

had been wheeled more than once into
De Spain's room, to sit where she
could help WOO him back to life. The

OUR SOLDIERS ABROAD.

English newspaper comment on the
appearance of the American troops which
paraded through the streets Of London
and then were reviewed by King George
was decidedly congratulatory. meas
ure of felcitation was TO be expected in
view of the fact that the United States
had sent the soldiers across the ocean
to assist the entente allies in their fight
for world democracy; but there appears
to be a strain of absolute sincerity in the
expressions of high opinion of the trooph
which goes beyond mere perfunctory fe
licitation. The physical appearance of
the men as they marched along the
streets seemed to strike the Englishmen
favorably, and well it might, as the
soldiers were part of the regular army
and picked for their first-class physical
development; they were not the hit-or
miss variety of male kind which might
be drawn upon in an emergency. They
represent high type of physical man
hood from the United States, selected
group of the common run, so to speak.
The soldiers of the regular army of the
United States are of the lean. 1.-THE class
of athletic mold, trained right down to
bone and muscle, Drowned by exposure to
the rays of the sun in the process of their
training and with easy carriage on the
line of march The people of the United
States are proud of the physical fitness
of these men and they are proud, also,
of the evidences of their fighting quail
ties as given in the few times that thy
have been called into actual powder
smelling on tie field of conflict So we
take it that the Englishmen must ha 'e
been more or less sincere in their expires
sions of approval of the physical appear
ance of these men who marched throdgh
the streets of London just prior to their
departure for the fighting front.

Vermont has a goodly number Of army
officers as the result of the training and
the examinations held at the Plattsbure
reserve officers training camp and hopes
to have as many more by the time the
second school has been finished three
months from August 81. II is to be
noted that the two colleges of the state,
which, by the way, have again been
placed in the distinguished class" by the
national war department, were well rep
resented among the graduates of the
training camp which closed Aug. Is. The
military training given at Norwich and
the University of Vermont seems to have
been of considerable benefit TO the men
who were admitted to the camp. How
ever, some of those who took the course
were debarred from receiving commits
sions by reason of the fact that they
were considered too young for commits
sions, while others failed to come up to
the strict physical examination held to-
ward the close of the training school,
but the former will undoubtedly stand in
line for commissions if the war continues
to run for year or more, and the train
ing which they have received will be put
to good advantage.

! With American farmers crying out for
/ farm labor and with crops and harvests
likely to be decreased by reason of the
labor shortage, it does not appear GER
tain where the United States government
will secure 10000 harvest hands to send
into the Canadian grain fields during the
next few months. Labor of all kinds is
in great demand, largely because of the
drain incident to the enlistment of the
huge army and large navy, and also to
the increased industry due to the three
years operation of the war; and the
farmers of the states in the northern
part of the United States are hard
pressed to get their own crops and har-
vests in. Vermont, for example, can
not furnish any men for the Canadian
fields and yet do justice to her own har-
vesting; and we presume the conditions
are similar in most of the other states
in the northern tier At the same time
Americans would like to extend all pos
sble aid to the Canadians in the acute
situation which confronts them

CURRENT COMMENT


The resistance to the draft in Okla
homa, North Carolina, Georgia and Texas
is not opposition to the principle of con-
scription but to military service of any
kind The men who are resisting the
draft are not in favor of the volunteer
system, as evidenced by the fact that
they have not themselves volunteered.
Their theory is that people other than
themselves ought to hear the burden of
war.
A vast majority of the people of the
United States recognize the justice of the
selective CONSUMPTION system. Registra-
ton of all persons liable to military duty
and the drawing of numbers by lot in
such mannr that favoritism was abso-
lutely impossible, is system with which
no reasonable fault can be found. No
one has even intimated that there was
unfairness in the drawing.
While il is, of course, impossible that
human beings should be above making
mistakes in the administration of that
portion of the law which relates to phys
ical examination and exemptions, and al
though there will probably be many in
stances in which the officers administer
ing the law display exceedingly poor judg-
ment, yet there has up to this time been
no complaint of deliberate unfairness.
This being true, it is apparent that those
who forcibly resist the draft do so not
because of any feeling that an injustice
is being done them individually, but be-
cause they refuse to recognize any liabil-
ity on their part to serve their country |
in its time of need. They would not |
have served under a volunteer system |
and they viii serve under the conscrip-
ton system only in case they are forced
to do so. They are slackers-nothing
more nor Iess.-Concord, y. H., Moni-
tor

then, to question whether employees of
street car lines should be permitted to
work out their desire for financial gain
at the possible sacrifice of the efficiency
and safety of the service. Sixteen hours
of labor is too long a period, especially
when so much responsibility devolves
upon the workman as it does in the case
of man at the controller of a rapidly
moving electric car. That is one reason
why the agitation for shorter hours of
employment has been so persistent in re-
cent years and why it commands so
much support not only in labor circles
but among the public as a whole
