FAIR PLAY ABOVE VICTORY
Canadian Soldier Generous In Seeing
That Opponent Should Have His
Right Chance to Shoot.

In an obscure Los Angeles suburb
lives a blind man. The following is
one of the many stories he tells of his
experiences:
1t was in the early nineties that a
picked team Of American riflemen
had gone into Canada for a friendly
contest with the Queens Own.
The competition had been fierce and
the score close when the last American
rifleman laid down at 800 yards. He
had to make % to tie and "A to win
out of possible rs.
A great crowd had gathered to watch
the contest, and had gradually closed
in behind the firing station until there
was very little space left for the rifle
man.
The first four shots scored the bulls
eye, counting 20. With his last shot
he had to make a to tie and q 4 tc
win. The excitement was Intense,
and the air was charged with the
magnetic stiffness of repressed excite
ment, as the commanding officer OF
the Queens Own stepped forward and
called out sect back there and give
the man a fair show. How can he
shoot with you standing on top Of
him?"
The crowd fell back, the American
fred, and the Indicator recorded an
other bulls eye, making his score 20.

pehydrated Food Products.

As food for armies in the field de.
hydrated products are almost ideal.
One of the most important features Of
the food conservation movement In
Germany since the outbreak of tho
war, a writer states, has been the prac,
tice of dehydrating fruits and vegeta.
bles and Germany's efficiency in con,
nection with the conservation of that
country's limited food resources is
strikingly demonstrated by the fact
that, after more than three years iso-
lation from the world markets upon
which she formerly depended that ma
ton still manages to feed its inhab-
itants.
In June, 1914, there were 4S0 deny
drafting plants in Germany, treating
annually about quarter of million
pounds of potatoes alone In a food
conservation campaign organized at
the time of Germany's first declara-
ton of war 246 new dehydration
plants were added, 100 of which were
aided by government funds.

CONGRESS Of Polish rechnIcIans

The Polish. engineers and technicians
now residing in Russia held a congress
at Moscow recently, at which 285 per-
sons We're present. The program con-
sisted of general discussions concern
ing the rehabilitation and development
of industry in Poland after the war,
also the organization of technical edu-
cation. Special sections dealt with
architecture, mechanics, chemistry,
electricity, and economics.
1t was decided to found a Polish as
ISOLATION of engineers and technicians
in Russia, with branches in the prin-
cipal industrial centers, and also to
undertake the publication of a BIZ
weekly sheet that should become the
organ of the society. Among the reso-
buttons adopted was one relating to the
future economic development Of Po-
land

VALUABLE ARTICLE OF FOOD
Banana Really Is Not Appreciated
Anything Like as Much as 1t
Ought to Be.

The banana is one of the most use
full of all foods. When the population
of the earth becomes overcrowded.. we
shall have TO eat more bananas and
less bread. An acre in wheat will
yield 900 pounds Of food. An acre in
bananas will yield 10000 pounds.
The banana resembles in compost
ton the sweet potato. Both contain
~ per cent of protein and 20 per
cent carbohydrates. The banana con-
tains more starch than fruits of the
temperate cline. AS 1t ripens, the
starch gradually turns to sugar.
The late Edgar Wallace Conable
said that the banana is the only food
which may safely be eaten when 1t
has been picked green. This, he ex-
planned is because the green bananas
draw nourlshment out of the great CEN
trail stem, which gradually shrinks and
withers. A banana should never be
eaten until the skin Is beginning to
turn black. Some claim that they
should be entirely black. However, it
is not necessary to go so far as that.
AS they turn black the starch turns to
sugar. Scrape the white material from
beneath the skin before you eat the
fruit

RED CROSSCARES
FOR OUR TROOPS
HELD BY ENEMY
Each American, Captured by Foe,
viii Get Three 10-Pound
Packages of Food Every
Two Weeks.

Parents who have thought of prison
life in Germany as perhaps the worst
experience that could befall their
sons In the American army will be re-
assured In knowing thar the American
Red Cross provides service to sup
ply prisoners with food. This is further
proof of the great value of this organi-
cation.
The plan, briefly, Is this: The Amer
lean Red Cross Committee stationed in
Berne, Switzerland, will send each
packages of food every two weeks. Al
ready enough supplies are in Switzer-
land or on their way there to care for
10000 American prisoners for a period
of six months.
Naturally General Pershing does not
intend to let the Germans capture that
many American soldiers, but the Red
Cross is measuring the possibilities by
what has happened to the FHench and
English in gigantic engagements when
both sides lost heavily.
Expert DietItians on the Job.
This Red Cross bureau Will be the
sole agency licensed by the War Trade
Board to transmit money to American
and allied prisoners in Germany. The
German government never yet has had
occasion to doubt the good faith of the
| American Eed Cross, so that its relief
plans are certain of execution.
Stories about the starvation of pris-
oners in Germany have been printed
so frequently in this country that many
parents will consider the Red Cross
plan worth all the money they have
contributed to 1t If 1t did not attempt
any other form of war relief work
/ The xind and amount of food to be
sent every two weeks to each Ameri.
can prisoner will be determined by ex-
pert dietitians.
General Pershing and other high Off.
GERS consider such work by the Red
! Cross a vital factor in winning the
war. It makes all the difference in the
world how soldier feels. When q
whole army becomes depressed disas

AT dusk that evening Gurdon Espey
| left the circus grounds after carefully
placing bank note in an envelope. He
| sought out the scene Of the amateur
circus of the afternoon and the home
of Mrs. Daniels adjoining. He was
almost stealthy as he advanced up the
garden path. The front door was
closed, but light streamed broadly
across the middle of the porch, al
though it was in shadow.
Espey crept up the steps on tip toe.
He stopped down, drew out the en-
velope and attempted to push it under
the door, but this set so closely shut
that the interstices would not admit
the envelope.
"What is it, please?" spoke a voice
at the Swallowed end of the porch,
startling Espey quite, and straining
his vision, he made out feminine
form rising from a chair.

"Gurdon!" died upon the lips of the
woman, and she wavered and was
forced to steady herself by grasping
the porch rail.
"Alicel" uttered the man, and the
habitual cynical expression left his
face, and the glowing eyes told of a
new soul aroused.
She shrank back. It was under the
memory of five years previous when
she had fled from this man as from
pestilence, for soul and body were
given over to drink until she had
feared for her life. She had hidden
away from him and now-he had found
her.
"Alice" he said, his tones tremu-
lous, but not uncertain, "since the day
of your absence and that of your dear

for she recognized in him the regen-

a longing glance through the window
at a little white-robed form lying on
a trundle cot.
Her hands clasped, her eyes were
suffused her care-worn, but still beau
tiful face looked up to him trustingly,
hopeful, longingly.
"Oh, Gurdon!" she sobbed, will you
come back to us?"

Ace Of Fishes.

The most striking characteristic by
which fishes of different ages can be
distinguished Is their size. But the
size affords us only the means to esti-
mate the age of younger fishes; as to
the older, it cannot serve us as an in
dIcation of their age, since their
growth may vary according to the DIFF
ferent conditions of nutrition, so that
often the younger fish will excel In
size the much older fish. There is,
however, at least as regards the fishes
of the Northern seas. sure indica-
ton that betrays their age. 1t Is the
otolites, or ear stones. These ear
stones grow as long as the fish itselI
continues to grow, and form annual
rings in the manner of trees TDe
more annual rings shown by fish's
ear stones the greater its age. In
this way the age Of fish can be ex'
actly determined.

taking some daintily prepared edibles
next time you make visit.
Nourishing broths and soups, wine

and light buildings made of eggs and

ed biscuit for the invalid's tea. Or
creamed chicken and creamed oysters
delivered In a charming blue bowl ana
all ready to be heated up by the nurse.
Grapefruit is always appreciates
and mandarin oranges and White
grapes In pretty basket are an appe-
tizing combination, and there are some
invalids who would be delighted with
a jar of preserved ginger for occa-
sional nibbling.
