Never Had Air Service.

Here the start was made hat-footeti
to drop into sporting parlance for a
moment. The American Army had
never had an air service. It had had
a few old planes and a few f1iers Why
1t had had 10 more is 4 question that
must be answered in Washington some
time, bat that is phase of the situa-
tton which need not be entered upon
at the moment. Hangers were bought
here and planes and motors and me
chanical equipment These things
might have been purchased in the
United StateS-perhaps -but it is doubt
1uI At all events the purchase on
this side was dictated by common
sense.
For a few weeks the buying was
hUSger-mugger, hit-or-niss. The Amer
lean Army was in competition not only
against the French and British gov
ernments, but Army departments out
bid each other. This could not have
been avoided for the moment, because
of the total lack of preparation in
America prior to our entrance in the
war. But in time system came out
of chaos. The captains of industry be-
gan 10 justify themselves. \ plan was
evolved.

TNHE total amount Of food necessary
l. for n person doing sedentary work
Is from 1000 60 $500 calorles-for
person doing muscular labor from $500
20 $500 calor!es This means that the
desk worker needs scarcely more than
200 calories Of prote'n--but as a matter
of fact. most people, even those who
keep the ration dowa TO the proper
limits. take from 500 20 600 Of the total
1000 calDries in the form Of proteins,
which means that the body is not get

cutting down our ration is among the

the amour. Of food reccssary--say 1000
calories-should add 20 his diet an
amount OF carbohydrate food and fats
equivalent 20 the amount Of protein food
which he removes from hi ration.
Following this plan will effect very
considerable saving, for the foods which
contain protein are the most expensive
among our staple foods And the re-
duction Of our ration will be in the hish'
est degree scientific.
Then there IS further consideration.
Most people doing sedcntary work are
eating far beyond their 1000 20 $500
caloTles T. Is safe 20 say that the aver-
age person eats ono-fourth more food
than his system needs That is an abso-
Lutte loss. The reduction In these cases
should embrace all three Of the CONS
bustible" elements the protein supply
should be gotten down TO proportion OK
onc-tenth OF the normal ration, often
this will be accomplished, as We pointed
out above. by the mere process OF cut
ting out the meats and eggs and other
protein foods from the dietary without
substituting carbohydrate foods and fats
IN their pla,s.
When ono wishes to reduce tle weight
considerably il is advisable 10 eliminate
all sweets and all fats. except a smal
serving of butter at each meal and the
very smaal quantities used In seasoning.

due to hysteria. In such cases the voice
may be suddenly recovered at any time.

suit Of infection of the larynX with
