 The Bri, .su ro lei nment was 0csii'- ous of an hoH2"at,c termination of the war he aldc.i. but the peace moves of the central powCrs heretofore lad not been in he 'n.etests fair and honorable peace.
 The American gov :rEmen:. sald MT. Balfour, wac al t.ie lime no letter IT. formed of the ia :ts recardln! the let ter of Emperor Charles than ne him plete d.. ,.ich
 helf was, but if anyone supposed that on that account any Want of confi- dence in the American government had been shown, he was undc" d com Dlctc dclusion.
 In response to question, Mir. Balfuur said that Emperor Charles wrote a letter to a relative (Prince 6iXtus is a brother-inlaW of the emperor), and that it was conveyed by this relative to the president and premier of France under seal of strictest secrecy. No permission was given to communicate the letter to anyone except the sover- ign and premier of this country. (This answers the question which has been raised why the emperor's proposals cI n do Wilson,.
 No Secrets From America.
 MT. Balfour said he had no secrets from President Wilson as every thought he had on the war CT. war di- plomacy was open to the president. He did not think it would be possible for the United States and Great Brit ain to carry on the great work which thev were engaged without complete confidence So far as he was con- cerned complete confidence would al ways be given.
 There was no enc moro desirous than the British government he con tinued, that the war should be brought to an honorable termination. If any method could be shown the govern ment whereby that would be accom- pllShed, 1t would of course DC accept ed. He added however, that no ef- fort at conversations which had been made by the central powers had ever been made ill the interest of fair and honorable peace; to the contrary they had been put forward in order to di- vide the allies.
 Referring to the statement made by Walttr Runciman, formerly presiden. of the board of trade, that France had asked for bigger Msace-Lorraine than that of 1870. Mir. Balfour said there was no question of this bigger Alsaco-L Lorraino being the war aim of the allies.
 If any representative of any bellis- erant country" the foreign minister then declared. desires seriously to lay before us any proposals we are ready to listen to them.'

Saccharin Not Injurious.

Some quite unfounded statements
have been made to the effect that sac
charm disturbs the digestion, Injuries
the kidneys, or is even responsible fer
gastric carcinoma. There is no evil
dcna, that saccharin or its allies has
sset effect whatever on the economy
Nm when it Is used in quantities
larger than are required to sweeten
foods and beverages to suit ordinary
tastes. And this, in spite of the fact thai
saccharin has been in use for more
than quarter of century.
The mere fact that it is an artificial
Substance remotely derived from coal
tar does not necessarily render it poi
sonous, as some seem to suspect. AT
the same time it is, Of course, value
less as food in the sense in which
sugar is a food, and even as flavor 1t
to most tastes Is inferior to the natural
substance.-British Medical Journal.

SURGEONS DO GREAT WORK
Rehabilitation of Wounded Soldiers
Seems Little Short of Miraculous
to a Civilian.

Foster Debevoise of South Orleans,
N. j., on a recent tour through France
and England, visited the armies at the
front, and speaks with enthusiasm OF
their indomitable spirit and unfailing
hopefulness.
In commenting he speaks on the
work done for wounded soldiers:
"The men in English cities, of whom
l saw hundreds, without legs or arms,
or with reconstructed faces, and those
in hospitals in process of being mend
ed, all had the same words: If only
could 20 back again. And this
brings me to another wonderful thing,
and that is the way the hospitals are
performing miracles. When finally,
| sometimes after months and months of
| treatment, the reconstructing process
is finished, the men are taught trades
and placed in positions so that they
are enabled to take up their lives
again with a large degree of happiness.
Straps operate as muscles on artificial
legs and arms and I have seen such
men swing hammer, play golf, knit
or work at lathes. 1t is almost incred-
ible what is being done. Hats off to
the doctors, say!"
The United States government will
! apply the same methods Of recon-
struction to those of our boys that are
disabled or crippled.-Marion Couth'
! Guy Smith.

SOLDIERS LIKED WAR BREAD
British Fighting Men Found Their
Health Improved Through Use Of
Unboited Wheat Meal.

A little more than a century ago,
when Britain had been fighting for
years against Napoleon, food became
very scarce. Following is from book
on bread-making, written by Sylvester
Graham, in 1887:
in order to conserve wheat as much
as possible, the British government or
dered that the army should be supplied
with bread made from unbolted wheat
meal, |. e., simply the wheat ground
without having the bran or middlings
removed. The soldiers were at first
displeased with the bread and refused
to eat it, even casting it from them In
great rage, but after two or three
weeks they began to be much pleased
with it and preferred it to the fine
-four bread.
1.-THE result Of this experiment was
that not only was the wheat made to
90 further, but the health of the sol
diers improved so much and so mani
festIy in the course of a few months
that 1t became a matter of common re-
mark among themselves and of obser'
vation and surprise among the officers
and physicians of the army. They ex.
pressed themselves with confidence
and zeal on the subject. The publii
declared that the soldiers were never
so healthy and robust. The public pa
pers were for months filled with praise
of whole-wheat bread, and 1t was reg
ularly introduced into families.
"Still after this experiment witt
such happy results and so general mt
full testimony had been given in fa
or of the coarse.wheat bread, wheI
large supplies of superfine flour CANT
In from America, and the crops from
home became again abundant and tn
act of parliament regarding the foot
Of the army became extinct, most O
the people by degrees returned to thei
old habits of eating flne bread"

Jackson's scheme would end with
the sending of notice by the collector.
The present law provides for exactly
the same scheme as that of Jackson,
but goes a step further in the direc-
tion of common sense, and requires
the tax collector to publish the list
which is still delinquent after Jack
sons method has been tried out, thus
giving the essential publicity to
protect the delinquent from the
wiles of the tax title grabber and the
tax lawyer. Of course these latter
gentlemen are working tooth and

Certainly there could be no fairer,

swat the measures hard.

Rubber in Japan.

The rubber manufacturing industry
In Japan has developed greatly within
the past year in the scope and variety
of it's products. In the export trade,
too, it's Importance is increasing. The
growth of the industry may be seen
from the steady increase in the i'm
port of crude rubber. The official trade
returns state that the import in 1917
totaled 9,6S9,632 yen over the figure
for 1915. Formerly most of the auto
mobile tires used in Japan were i'm
ported into that country, but now the
greater part of Japan's needs are sup
piled by domestic manufacturers. The
export of automobile tires has also
begun with the development of rubber
plants in Japan.
