'Words fail me in attempting to describe my gratitude for the benefits that I have derived from the use of Orgatone," said Mrs. H. J. Sutton, wife of a well known Iron Mountain Rail- way mechanic living at Little Rock.

Proper Food,

There is no end to the discussion of the influence of dietetics on the health, In that discussion we find much said about calories, proteins, and food values generally. In the meantime the people seem to be eating what they want, mindless of calories or proteins The scientific facts concerning food have no more effect upon people than on the woman in the Chicago settle ment, who refused some healthful saw dust and straw, saying she would eat what shed ruther." It is almost inn possible to hold people down to sciesl- tific dietetics. Take calories, for in- stance, the ruling element in food, but which sometimes are not as loudly called for as at other times and by oth- CT appetites, but no one thinks of cal ories One takes the food that suits his palate, without any reference to the chemistry of 1t: But the food prob lem that does not include the habit problem Is not to De coiiif1ended. Good habits and good food go together. A person of bad habits wants bad food. A person of good life wants his air pure, his talk pure, his food pure, AS a man thinketh in his stomach so is he, also.=Ohio State Journal.

Indians and Gold.

The California Indians, familiar witt the yellow wealth of the alluvia
 gravels long before the first whit, man appeared on the scene, had tra dition to the effect that somewhere 1T the Sierra Nevada range was a noun tain of gold-an entire peak of the solid metal, thinly covered with a lay. CT of earth, moss and herbage.
 Search for the Mother L6de began as early as 1850. Enterprfsing miners who had no belief fin the story of the golden mountain nevertheless realized that the yellow output of the stream graveis must come from somewhere, and in looking for its source they ex. plored the Sierra in all directions. The result was the discovery of many valu. able quartz mines and, in particular, of a series of rich veins of gold-bear- ing quartz extending through Eldorado, Caiaveras and three other counties.

more likely by his wife, but these are rare. The great majority show a pa thetic lack of knowledge of the funda- mentals of building construction and of the principles of art.
 Not long ago, one of our prominent architeets made some suggestions for the guidance of the owner or building contractor who wants to work out his own home building ideas. They are worth repeating, and will give the glst of them in few words.
 Few persons, save Architects, are aware that the rectangIe most agree able to the human eye is the rectangle whose sides are In proportion one to another, as three Is to five. All man. kind, in designing shapes, unconscious ly choose the three to five proportion in preference to the two to five or the one to five, or five to five. Did you ever see a square writing tablet, or banner? Come to think about 1t they are all three to five. There are defi- nite rules of harmony in shapes just as well as in tones.
 But the architect does not follow musician has the tune in his head :" the architect has the design in his eye. Both are written records, the one with notes, the other with blue prints. -sz--'a=
 Thus, the architect gives the roof the right pitch, places the windows and doors in the right positions, makes the trimmings the right width, deter mines the kind of gables and the height of the walls, takes into account the position of the house on the lot and the appearance of neighboring buildings. ..---.-..-.,..e,
 Closely related to the sense Of pr9, portion is the sense of stability and 1 unity. However secure q porch may be, 1t does not appear well unless it has visible support. I know of houses which make me nervous every time pass them. They are securely built, yet look 'top-heavy." I have in mind still other houses which violate the princi- pie of unity because they have sec tions of Eaity appear as though they had been built afterward, giving the impression of not really being a part of tke house, just an addition" The work of an architect Is not a group of walls, it is unified structure with uniform design.
 The manner in which he attempts to ornament a house betrays the amateur quicker than anything else. No orna- ment should be put on which does not have a meaning. Ornaments are mostly sensibly employed when their effect is to strengthen the proportion, unity or stability, impressions which every well-designed structure must have. For instance, big pillars, though mechanically unnecessary, as- sure the onlooker that the weight l above is supported
The Green Forest tribune., 1918-02-15
Cornices and copings of uniform

CornieeS and copingS of uniform pattern may be used to make all parts of the building appear as parts of the whole. Wall bands frequently divide unproportionate walls into proportion ate sections. Experts occasionally carry out imitation schemes, repre- sentations, for instance, of flowing wa ter plants, trees and men. But such embellishments would look ridiculous on any simple building which our lay man friends might design. In any case, not more than one kind would be used. Never add an ornament be- cause that place looks bare"
 Utility Is less matter of art. But the architects experience enables him to provide for the maximum of conve- nience with a minimum of expense. He knows how much sunlight can get through a window of given size in given position. He knows how to place the heating and plumbing ap- paratuses where they are least apt to give trouble and will serve best
 The architects familiarity with the cost and nature of materials, enable him to tell his client how elaborate structure can be built with a given amount of money, and how best that amount can be expended The archi- tect who starts client building S15,000 structure with only $10,000 is not under ordinary circumstances, worthy of his calling. I say "ordi- nary times," because soaring war prices have fooled the best of us.
 If, with all the multiplicity of cir cumstances to be taken into account, the layman can on paper lay out building which, when completed, will satisfy all the requirements of propor- ton, simplicity, unity, utility and econ- omy, he certainly does not need the services of an architect. He is then an architect himself.
 Surely it is worth while to design every detail correctly. The appear ance of the buildings in which are our homes or our places of business is a most important detail in the environ ment which makes our lives happy or

POLITICAL DEBATE
 IS UNAVOIDABLE
CONGRESS CANNOT OVERLOOK FACT THAT THIS IS lMPoR-
 TANT CAMPAIGN YEAR.
VIEWS ON CRITICISM DIFFER
One Group Sure 1t Is Only Way to Get Mistakes Remedied and Another As- serts It Will Give Aid and Comfort to the Enemy.
By ARTHUR w. DUNN.

hington.-Political debates have been brewing for a long time, in fact ever s1nce the present session of con- greSs began. Political discussion has been almost inevitable in campaign year and this is a very important cam paign year from the standpoint of those who desire to control the next national administration. For nearly half century the victory of a politi- gal party in the congressional cam- paign foreshadows the success of the party in the ensuing presidential com paign. Only once since the Civil war has there been an exception, and that was in 1876. Even at this date, how ever, it is hard to convince the Demo- crats that they did not elect Tilden in 1876.
 Consequently both parties regard the coming congressional campaign which is now in process of incubation as one of great political significance, and it naturally follows that there must be political discussion in congress in session while the campaign is un der way. During the session last sum mer, commonly called the war session political debate was avoided and onl, occasionally were political speeche made. In this congress political de bate has been started and there i: likely to be a great deal of it notwith standing the desire of the people that there shall be no partisanship in the conduct of the war.
 When politics becomes part of the war discussion 1t naturally follows that there will be vigorous criticisms of the management of the war. And vet 1t is known that such criticisms were launched at the British and sev- eraI governments were overturned without any reference to the effect upon the political parties of England. But the English system of government is so different from ours that no par allel can be drawn. They have had no political campaign in sight, the result of which may mean the control of the government after the next presiden- tial election.

There is q difference of opinion as to whether or not criticism will weaken the war work. Those who have be- come critics. especially in congress, as sert with a great deal of insistence that criticism of various features of war preparation and the manner in which the war work is being conduct ed will be beneficial in the end. They claim that only when mistakes are publicly pointed out will remedies be applied. Moreover, they assert that incompetent men in positions of impor- tance will not be removed and others selected unless their mistakes, and faults are brought to notice in such a public way as to insure a demand for change.
 Those who deplore criticism insist that it can do no good and will do much harm; that it will give aid to the Germans and dishearten the allies by showing that this country is not united ly behind the administration In the great war Whatever may be the claims of the critics and those who would avoid critical discussion, the ball has now been opened and 1t is quite likely that from this time for ward both houses of congress Will in- .dulge in political debates and that criticism of the conduct of the war will naturally become a part of such discussions.

We must give the Pacific coast credit for much of the virility of modern home architecture in America.

A group of men were discussing the war situation. There were senator's, army officers and newspaperfnen, a very small gathering, but views were being interchanged. The senators con- plained about the lack of interest throughout the country in the war and asserted that the people did not yet realize that this country was actually engaged in the greatest struggle in the history of the world Another re- marked that it would probably take a great disaster to the American troops in order to arouse the people to the war conditions.
 Then spoke one of the army officers, and it was a real treat to hear him talk. "There is not going to be any great disaster to the American army in France" said this man. and he was one who had been over there and knev the situation. "We will have ferc fighting and there Will be many cas ualties," he continued, but that is ir
 evitable in big war. But the Amer
 can troops are going to give goo account of themselves. They are nc going to allow the Germans to brea through. If the German generals ar figuring upon the sectors occupied b, the American troops as points of weak ness which will give them the oppor tunity to break the long allied line they are going to be very much mis- taken and surprised. It is true that our troops are not as numerous as they should be and that they have not been equipped with everything that they should have, but there will bye enough frst-class fighting men, all well equipped, to handle that part of the line to which they are assigned and to
