PrOteidS.


The proteid is benevolent bug that
gets into your system and prowls
around among your food, making it
behave itself and do you good.
1t is a half brother to the vitamins
and uncle to the calorie, which also do
police duty along the alimentary canal.
The caloric likes to live only in GER
tain kinds of food The bean is prob
ably more densely populated with it
than any other vegetable.
But you want to be careful. Don't
let too many proteids congregate in
your system; they'll get mad. No pro-
ted likes to be crowded. AS long as
you treat it right and give 1t elbow
room, it'll be decent; but once gain
the i'll will of proteid and you might
as well give yourself up to dyspepsia
and be done with it.

CONDITIONS NOT GOOD AMONG
THE WORKERS IN DUBLIN

DUBLIN, Ireland, April 6.-While
the Irish farmer is prosperous beyond
precedent and wages in many trades
are higher than ever before, the con-
dition of the poorer classes in the
cities is in many cases worse than for
years. SAT the present moment the
artisans and the poor in Dublin are
reduced to state of privation that
causes a great feeling of alarm and
disnaay,'' said the Lord Mayor at a
meeting of the Corporation this week.
Members of the Corporation COM
planned that the work Of rebuilding the
city, which had been expected to do
much to relieve restitution, was not
going forward as had been planned. It
had not been found possible, he ex-
planned, to import the material neces-
sary for the work of rebuilding, al
though the Ministry of Munitions had
promised to facilitate it in every way.
A deputation was appointed to wait
upon the Chief Secretary and impress
him with the great need Of employ
ment, especially in the building trades.

WHAT is PROPERLY.

Foreigners in the United States
who conduct themselves properly will
suffer no loss of property or Of liberty
as a result of a declaration of a state
of war; reads an official statement
from Washington. This has direct ref
erence to the situation as 1t regards
Germans and their sympathizers. The
statement may have gone further by
substituting "all people" Tor foreign
ers," as 1t would have then covered
large number of Teuton sympathizers
in this country with American citizen
ship.
The right of property in case of war
has been made paramount by the
United States in all the conduct of it's
affairs. Should the German merchant
boats now in our harbors be seized
they would be paid for, should nothing
develop in the terms OF peace which
might affect their status other than Of
private property of an alien or an
enemy.
The right of liberty most seriously
affects the nation at this time, for it is
the pro-German element-under the
spy" system and under American cit
izenship who will exercise himself in
aiding the German government in
their campaign of ruthlessness and
hellishness on land and sea. The gov
eminent cannot move too quickly in
making preparations for the detention
of people who hold interests above the
United States.
England suffered very seriously in
the days Immediately following the
war by allowing alien enemies to par
ade as free men 1t led to rioting and
drastic action. The same must follow
here, possibly in more violent form.
The work of German agents among
the negroes is an element which at
tracts acute attention in. the South. We
have no fears for any serious result,
although prompt and summary punish
ment should be dealt to the offenders.
Another feature of our preparation
is very serious. Supposedly patriotic
are being heard to warn
young men against enlistment in the
service of their country. and they open
ly declare that the only condition on
which they will lights CONSUMPTION
or defense after Invasion Their atti-
tudes are against the best interest of
the nation. and the propaganda should
be hushed. The Albany Herald very
says:
OF course a man may be opposed
to war without being traitor or
coward either. as for that matter,
but those who attempt to retard or
in any way interfere with the coun-
trys preparations for war when
the war is inevitable or has really
already commenced. are playing
with fire"
