GERMANY STRONGER
 LEAN THAN FAT,

At the beginning of the war the German nation was the most overfed nation in the world; they surfeited on beer and sausage and the world thought that joy a food embargo the well-fed Teutons could be, quickly brought to terms. But with the cut ting off-of food supplies Germany ra- toned her people, reduced their waist lines, and increased their fight ing powers. For three years now they have waged war on short rations and have amazed the world by their fighting strength. It is a poor hunt CT who would not rather tackle a fat and surfeited lion than a lean and unrestricted beer and sausages might have been more easily vanQuished than the hungry-rationed Germany which has defied the world these three ] years past.
 Starving out the enemy to be effec. tive must be real starvation and not merely a cutting off of surplus food The efficient nations and the efficient | individual is the one fed just enough <, to maintain hard muscular fightins trim. It means a food consumption less than the food quantity eater when the human animal is allowed t' help himself at will after the manne of hopperfed hogs.

How to Cure stammering.

Lisping and stammering, according to Popular Science Monthly, are sep arate imperfections of speech which require entirely different treatment.
 Lispers, for instance, can be cured in a short time by tongue and palate gymnastics. They 'lithp'' simply be- cause they do not work their tongue and palate properly. By making the child speak before mirror, however, the teacher can correct these mistakes.
 Stammering is a nervous disorder which cannot be cured so easily. The pupil involuntarily applies too much force at certain parts of the vocal or gans, causing the stuttering and a sputtering with which we all are familiar. The cure is to relieve the overworked parts by distributing the energy evenly. This is learned by pro- nouncing certain flowing sounds in front of a candle until the flame does not flicker.

What Is Concrete?

Concrete-a manufac- tured stone-is made by, mixing together Port land Cement, sand and stone Cor gravel.) Var ious proportions of each are used, depending upon the use to which the con- crete is put. About half an hour after mixing these materials together, the mass begin to stiffen, until, in from half-a-day to a day, it becomes so hard that you cannot dent it with the hand. By a month the mass is hard like stone-indeed, hard CT than most stones.

Why White Corn Is Cheapest Food.

Those who have made careful study of the nutritive properties of various grains and foods, agree that white corn is the most satisfactory. It is also the cheapest. Figures quoted by the Literary Digest show that one pound of cornmeal, hominy, or grits is equal in food value to one pound of wheat flour, one pound of rice, one and one-half pounds of cheese, two and three-quarter pounds of round steak, two dozen eggs, one-half peck of pota- toes, six pints of milk.
