LIQUID BREAD COSTLY.

Liquid bread" is costly. Science
declares that "a man would have to
swallow daily 108 glasses of beer at
cost of $5.40 to supply the amount
of proteids needed, or % glasses to
furnish the carbohydrates"
Miss Bessie Cheshire,
Taiban, N. M.
Dear Miss;
| received your letter and en-.
joyed it very much. l am glad
to hear that you have a brother
who is not afraid to stand up for
his country, but l sine erely hope
that he will be one OF the many
who ge: to come back home as
good man as he was when he
left, or even a better one. Yes
little girl, l do wish the Kaiser
was dead. as do many others,
and | hope that the war is over
before any of Uncle Sans boys
lose their lives, but it is not like
ly that it will be thus.
Should We go east from this
camp, we will probably go thru
Taiban. We arrived here in
Deming the 10Th of August after
travelling four days and three
nights, and we were glad to get
our feet on solid ground again.
Rut before we got our tents
put up thewind began to blow
and the sand to fly, but it did nat
last long and then we had a nice
rain, +
The government is sure fixing
things pretty nice for.the boys.
Nearly everything was sll ready
for them when they arrived, the
kitchens, dininp rooms, bath
houses and the Y. M. G. A.
They are all frame buildings. I
am sitting in the Y. M. G. A,
writing this letter, the building
is sure is crowded ii is almostim- :
possible tu get place to write.
This will be some city when all
of the toops get bers as there will
be about fifty thousand of them.
AS soon as things are arranged
so we can we will have three
moving picture shows aweek be
sides other things and everything
is free 10 the soldiers.
Well, as there is not much to
say or tell | will close for this
time hoping to hear from you a.
gain, ! remain,
A soldier friend to you and
every other good American.

well, but it would have been more for. tunate if for part of the profits we had been able to obtain the articles which we want, and which are now more urgently needed than ever be- fore. As is we'll known this has not been possible. We have not been masters in our own house as regards imports, nor even as regards exports. Only when it was absolutely neces- sary have the latter been stopped, for export prohibition always impafrs one group of home interests and ex- poses us to the risk of further res trictions of the import of articles in which the shortage may be even more fatal. Important political considera- tions also come into play here.

yous breakdowns from oyer-study, but such break downs among sophmores and freshmen rarely occur, because they are compelled to take exercise.
 The compulsory training plan of the University calls for a regiment of three battalions, each battalion hay ing three companies of eighty men each E. M. Briggs, assistant proRes- sor of German, will be the colonel of the regiment and in command of the military work.

DENMARK NEEDS FODDER STUFFS
 ANDFUEL
(By the Associated Press)

 COPENHAGEN, Nov. S-Prediction of a more serious condition in the near future affecting Denmarks supply of fuel, raw materials for industry and fodder stuffs is made by the National Bank of Denmark in a summary of economic and financial situations in the country.
 "In the latter half of the year." says the report, owing to the German U- boat war, navigation met with such dangers as to become practically a gamble in which the stakes were life stopped altogether and imports were very considerably restricted, partly by destruction or seizure of cargos, part ly by the refusal of exports from Denmark by the belligerent powers, Conditions accentuated by the en- trance of the United States into the war.
 Denmark's trade balance during the war has been good. Our agriculture and navigation have earned profits which have more than covered the ex- penditure, and our exports have ex- 
 ceeded our imports. We have there fore, been able to pay our foreign debts ard we have great outstanding debts al road in bills, in credits and i0 foreigN securities. This is all very
