THE SONG OF THE ROD AND REEL
ALLEN 4. BREWER.
In Field and stream.


You hang them up with a saddened
heart.
when the frosts OF Autumn steal.
With a wintry grip DER the ponds and
brooks,
10 drive the fish 10 their cozy hooks,
Afar from your rod and reel
on the wall Of your den they'll play
their part.
Your reel and your split bamboo.
As you tell Of the fish they've brought
TO shore,
As big as whales or maybe more.
When the summer zepyhrs blew.
Through the wintry months when the
snow drifts deep
On the banks OF your fayOrite
streams.
By the nreside glow your thought will
steal,
Back 10 the song Of your buzzing reel.
And the biggest fish Of your dreams.
But a time has come when the ice
cakes break.
AND the freshets food the fields
Then your heart beats quick and you
feel the thrill
That comes as a cure for many an III,
With the lure Of your rod and reel.

everywhere advise us. DO not give;

Diet Kitchens For

Diet kitchens have been established

and the French doctors are fully
aware Of its possibilities" states w.
S. Patten, director of the Department
of Military Affairs of the American
Red Cross in France.

with the French Bien Etre des Blesses
to establish diet kitchens Of a more

America special diet delicacies for

suit that today we nave in our ware

The National Chamber Of Commerce

TIE United states Chamber Of Commerce, now IN
~, session in Chicago. has succeeded remarkably IN
regimenting the commercial and industrial forces OF the
nation Before this organization OF organizations """
ia fabricated powerful individuals and more powerful groups
carried their ideas to Washington for the considerable"
of congress and the administration. But no agency existed
for ascertaining and uttering the opinion Of the composite
business and industrial classes on matters Of national
policy.
The national chamber fulfills that function admir-
ably. 1t has developed representative machinery for reg
istering the will Of its constituent bodies. The referen-
DUN votes conducted by 1t reflect truly the attitudes OF
the classes polled. The very incisiveness of the chamber
is moreover a wholesome characteristic. A position taken
by a majority of the commerce. and industrial associa-
tons of the country is very much more apt to be care
fully considered than the action of a less representative
body.
The soberness of this machinery was we'll tested dur
ing the debate on the problem presented by the foreign
language press in war time. The natural. impulse of many
of the delegates was to record the chamber against the
publication Of newspapers in foreign languages. Yet
other of the delegates knew Of their own experience that
large sections Of the populations of this country would
by such an. act be cut off from any news. Too often aiien
workers have found it practically impossible to learn
English. To deny such people the chance to inform them
selves in any language they understood would be only to
condemn them to further ignorance. The chamber steer.
ed safely past this danger.
1t is wholly desirable to have such a coordination
of ideas and aspirations as the United States Chamber OF
Commerce makes possible. The chamber clarifies and
unifies the policies of a powerful part of the American
public. Representative government is furthered thereby

+, There is always some diniculty about xettinx the
other follows point Of view. one naturally feels that
the thing which he prizes must be priced BY others. He
may fall to give proper weight to the Influence Of ira
o oa and environment. People In one part Of the
world bedeck themselves with ornaments which to 9TH
es are hideouss a tribe Of Arabs. one OF whose number
had just returned from a tour Of distant countries, were
amazed to- learn that no dates srew in England; ana
could not understand how people could live in such a
country. And in a country where it has been the Gus
tom. from time imrnemorial, to confer ohicial titles as
marks OF distinction, It is a little dificult for the people
70 get way Hrom the idea that iii other surroundings,
and under other conditions, these distinctions are not
equally priced.
Every little while there crops up in the British govern.
ment the notion that the granting Of titles to citizens Of
the distant dominions will aid materially in cementins
the bonds which hold the various parts of the British
empire together. and residents Of those self governing
paris u Inc empire nave often had difficulty in lodging
the titles which the imperial government fairly hurled
at them. Not long since quite a furore was caused in
Canada by the well-meant, but i~li-judEed decision to
confer hereditary titles on certain Canadians More "a.
Gently, there has been created the Order Of the British
Empire, with its appropriate accompaniment of ribbons
and titles to be bestowed throughout the empire for
n excellent purpose OF creating a closer bond Of union
among Its people: A few of these titles have been given
out, but when the Canadian government was recently
notified that the quota Of Canada for the next batch of
admissions to this order would be 34s, and was requested
to recommend persons upon whom this honor might be
bestowed. the people down at Ottawa proceeded to for
get all about it, being somewhat busy with attending
to war and other matters, and no nominations were
made Further, a decree has just been issued that the
granting Of hereditary titles to Canadians must cease,
and the suggestion has also been made that the titles
which have been granted must lapse after a certain date.
The matter of other titles is still under consideration,
but it is expected that the final decision will be tnat
such titles as are granted in Canada must be granted
only on the direct Recommendation of the premier, in
which case there will be very few Of them.
The subject is interesting as indicating the diff
Guilty which people often have in understanding each
other. In England, as in many other European countries,
the use of titles is as much a part of the life Of the peo-
pie as the hills and rivers are parts of the landscape.
And the custom is almost as old as the natural features.

soy beans; among these are bean
meal, a kind of spaghetti, bean
cheese, bean sauce. bean milk, and
bean oil, all of which are used by the
Chinese as food.
The nutritive value Of bean curd is
equal to that of meat and it's cost is
much less; when properly cooked it's
flavor compares favorably with meat.
1t is an ideal food from a scientific
point OF view. yellow beans form the
chief raw material for bean curd.
When ground they yield a milky
fuid, which Is coagulated by adding
certain chemicals. To form the curd
of commerce the coagulated mass is
subjected to pressure to remove the
excess of water. 1t can then be
sliced with a knife.
In an article in the Yale-in-China
Student. John F.. S. Han states that
improvements in the native processes
should be made. THE serious draw
back in native factories a y Mr..
Han. "is the enormous amount of
manual labor that is required for
such a small output. In the beam
curd factories in Paris many scientific
improvements already have been put
into practical use" The use of hy-
drometers for the native manufactur-
ers is suggested.
