DUTY IN EATING.

Not many weeks ago, the country
rang with this:
Make your own garden!"
Now the cry should be:
Eat your own garden!'
To help out our foreign brothers
and to knock down the high cost of
our own, living were your main pur-
poses in putting in your home gar
den. Those purposes appeal just as
strongly now that your garden begins
to yield, for every pound of your gar
den stuff that you eat means a pound
more that can be exported or released
for our soldiers.
But, when we say Eat your own
garden, we mean much more than just
stuffing anything you've raised into
your own stomach. Eat the perish
able stuff; can or dry that which will
keep. This means just little brainy
Encouragement of your menu, and
about three-fourths of your eating is
mere habit and always has been.
Furthermore, when we urged you to
go to gardening, we predicted that
you'd get health out of the ourdoor
work and the habitual physical exer-
else. There's health for you now in
eating your garden. In the hot days
of August and September it is doubt
full whether anything, save fish, eggs
and some of the cereals, should be
eaten that doesn't come out of a gar
den. At this season, your system es-
pecially requires food that's most
easily digested, and in the heavy foods
there is often real danger. :.
Our war duty requires that we sub
| stitute on our own tables commodities
which cannot be exported for those

Korea Gold Mine for japan.

The total output of. the Korean
mines last year exceeded 100000
yen ($7,5OO,OO0). This amount is far
greater than the gold production: of the
mother country, says the East and
West News. The three largest gold
mines in. Korea-Unsan, Suan and
Changsong-are managed by foreign
ers. The largest gold mine entirely d.
rected BY Japanese is the Asano, in Su-
nan district, South Pyongando. Ken
song mine in. the same province, man
aged by the Furukawa firm, is equally
prosperous. Hoichang mine. in Song
chon district, is developing greatly.
Msst of the gold ore produced in
Korea goes to Japan: for refinement,
but a refinery has recently been built
at Chinnampo that will save some Of
these shipments. -. - -.

Lion Rampant Not Scottish Flag.

John C. Black, convener Of the St.
Andrew society, Glasgow, in letter to
a correspondent, points out that. the
lion rampant is not the Scottish flag.
1t is the banner of the king of Scots,
and as such is quartered in the Brit
ish royal arms. The Scottish national
naval and military flag is the white
satire Of st. Andrew on blue field,
just as the red cross of st. George on
a white field is the national banner Of
England. Mr.. Black accordingly SUBJ
mits that the Scottish national satire
is the only proper flag to put on sale,

Scottish troops eventuate in London

CHAPTER !.
A. Yacht Party.

So many items bearing upon those
strange adventures which have lately
befallen me have found publication in
the newspapers, oftentlmes distorted
and untrue, and resulting in letters OF
inquiry from friends, induce me now
to- write out the tale while the Incl
dents remain fresh in memory. In.
deed, owe the truth not only to my:
self but even more to her who 50
bravely shared with me those days and
nights Of peril. - ,g.$ Fl
The earlier passion Of my life was
the sea, and, when others Of my age
were grinding away. through their
courses in college, y was apprenticed
to the merchant service In fleet
owned by my father, trading between
New York e and northern European
ports. Loving the work, and, possibly,
assisted by the fact that was my
fathers sons, i rose rapidly, until
licensed as captain Of steam, and as
signed to command the Vulcan, q
freighter Of 5000 tons. At thirty, how.
ever. the novelty and fascination Of q
sea life ceased its attraction, and when
my father died sufficient property be-
came my share from the estate to en-
able my resigning this command, and
retiring permanently from the service.
Circumstances, unnecessary now to re-
late, caused me to make permanent
home in Chicago, where I soon became

Nothing could have been more unex-

to christen it rby"a run 'across to the
ports of Spain. He wrote urging me
to become one of the party. The temp

PEACE TALK SEDlTIOUS.


Both the German and Austrian (bet-
ter called German-Austrian) chancel-
lors having showed an inclination to
talk peace, there is demand, by the
peace-at-all-prices element and a small
but villainous part of the American
press, that President Wilson make
some movement for peace discussion.
And our president, sensibly and patri-
otically, confines himself exclusively
to making movements for war.
A fellow who would peacefully go
out and pat mad dog on the head
and say Good doggy! Good little
doggie!' would be rightly set down
as idiotic. That's just what President
Wilson. would be doing by assuming
anything like pacific attitude toward
the German autocracy. Peace with
that body of brutes would be worth
less. Belgium proves it and thinner
mann's effort to set Japan and Mex
leo upon us, when we had a peace
treaty with Germany, rivets it. So
,long as that mad autocracy has the
power to represent Germany at the
peace council, we cannot, in wisdom
or safety, even consider peace. A mad
dog is shot, not treated with pills and
antitoxins. The autocrats of Germany
have put themselves without the lin.
its of treatment under the ordinary
diplomatic processes of civilization
and, while they rule Germany, peace
talk is seditious.

selves is that we taboo foods that add

months ago are yelling, we judge that
you're doing it, in a number of cases!
