injustice Of permitting Davenport 10
do business on Mondays while its
neighboring cities were compelled 10

in the towns on this side of the Mis-

after he had been made familiar with
the local geographical situation. While
business was generally suspended In

the stores were open, and those in the
cities on the Illinois side filled their

Very Pretty Thought.

Count Won Reventlow is authority
for the assertion that if negotiations
could be begun with America the Ger
man U-boat warfare might be re-
stricted or suspended. Coming from
the ardent apostle of frightfulness this
sounds almost too good to be true. The
count knows as do others OF his kind
in the fatherland that the United
States has always been ready to dicker
from any angle that will bring an end
to the slaughter in Europe. But the
count should know that the United
States will not deal independently
with Germany; that any moves look
ing towards peace must include the
other nations that are arrayed against
the central empires.

Work International.

A thought the United States food
administration would like to implant
firmly and clearly in the public mind
is that the work of the food admin
istration is not merely national, but
international. 1t is the largest relief
work the world has ever known.
Our first duty is to see that the
armies fighting the battles for world
democracy in the trenches are prop
erly supplied with wholesome food.
Perhaps second in Importance is
the necessity for keeping ever before
the people of the nations associated
with us in the war assurance that
their food requirements are to be met
in sufficient degree to sustain life SO
there will be no food panics in those
countries. based upon fear that this
nation will not live up to the obliga-
tons now placed upon it by destiny
The Importance of this phase of the
food question is deeply impressed upon
the minds of all who have a basic un-
derstanding of European conditions.
The fact that food, Americas contri-
button to the war, is as essential as
either men or munitions, has been sc
often stated as to make repetition
seem needless. but it remains never
theless true all the time. 1t is true
that food will win the war. 1t is
equally true that lack Of food can
bring defeat, This is so true that il
the people of this country could but
understand how vitality essential is the
success of the food program proposed
by the food administration, much OF
the difficulty OF all problems OF food
conservation would disappear, because
the call Of humanity and patriotism
would lead all Americans to meet the
requirements asked OF them. The i'm.
portance therefore, of Intelligent edu.
cation along conservation lines can.
not be overeslimated.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
The Ubiuuity Of Carbon.


Phase inform me what kinds of foods
are rich in carbon. Why is lime water
used in milk? Does it prevent bilious
ness? What diet would you recon-
mend for person who has liver COM
plant and gets bilious? When a per-
son drinks half pint of cream a day
is it necessary to mix lime water with
it?
Answer-It is hard to name any food
not rich in carbon; fats, sugars,
starches, proteins, all have plenty Of
carbon. Lime water is sometimes
added to milk, few spoonfuls or much
more in a glass, to prevent the forma-
ton of very large curds by the hydro
chloric acid in the gastric Juice. It
doesn't prevent the upsets commonly
called "biliousness." We don't know
what liver complaint. means, but II
bilious attacks occur we would sug-
gest the Bread and. Milk Club "a glass
OF milk and a cracker or one-fourth
slice of bread. every three hours all
day every Monday, taken In slow sips,
and nothing else on that day. The
drinking of cream, in itself, may &C.
count for the liver complaint" and
bilious attacks" There would be no
harm in adding lime water, IL you pre-
fer it that way.

The NeighbOrhOOd PreVent0rfum.
Have you a. little preventorium in
your neighborhood? If not, what's
the matter with your local Red Cross
or other charitable organizations? Are
they faltering in the fight against tu-
berculosis? Do you feel that tuber-
culosis is none of your business, none
at present existing in your immediate
family? Well, your children may
marry tuberculosis some day.
The time Of infection by tuberculo-
sis is childhood. The environment of
childhood determines in large meas
ure whether or not given child will
subsequently (perhaps along in ado
lescence or early adult life) develop
manifestations of tuberculosis. For
tunately, the infection tends to remain
latent, dormant, throughout life, ii
the environment is reasonably whole
some. But let the child with latent
tuberculosis (Which child usually
seems about as well as a healthy
child be subjected to evil living con-
ditions and there is big chance that
the disease will eventually light up
and become a possible source OF in
lection to others.
The child with latent tuberculosis
is just little below par. Not an in
valid at all, but still not a hundred
per cent child. Anemia, adenoids, un-
derweight for age, not SO strong in
play as healthy children are. tires
easily, has kernels or enlarged lymph
nodes In the neck, groins and else
where. No cough, unless 1t be from
the adenoids. No fever. Just sub
normal child. School medical inspec-
tors find many such children in every
school,
Now, suppose you have a plant you
are trying to raise, and it doesn't seem
to do very we'll. 1t is a valuable
young plant, and you mean to save
1t if you can, Fine weather, nice
warm sunshine, everything outdoors
growing fast, You transplant the
weak plant, let 1t get the stimulation
OF sunshine and the energy Of mother
earth. and presently you have a -four
ishing plant.
The tuberculosis preventorium does
that for the poor little victims OF
latent tuberculosis. 1t gives them a
show. Mostly they come from the
poorer parts of the town, where the
living conditions are least wholesome
such districts exist in most commun-
tiles because we are a people with
too little civic conscientiousness
