HOW AND WHAT TO EAT.
Mr.. Hoover Might Prescribe . Diet
for U.s.

To THE EDITOR or The suN-ST: l
note that United States Food Admins
traitor Hoover states in a recent inter-
view that "Our soldiers must have 400
calories daily-4.4o0 calories being all a
man wants to eat--and the civilian popu-
lation over there must have a.4oo cal
cries." &C.
presume this applies to civilians
"over here" as well as over there, and in
view Of the fact that the average civil
ian knows little or nothing about a
calory ! suggest that Mr.. Hoover eluci-
date and tell us Just what percentage
Of calories the different foods contain.
and just how the different foods should
be combined so that each civilian
can get his daily 3.400 calories. with
minimum expense and maximum effici-
ency how many calories In an ounce OF
potatoes, beans, carrots, onions. spinach,
lettuce, tomatoes how many in an ounce
OF wheat bread, rye bread. corn bread,
cakes. pies, and in the whole grain or
prepared cereals like wheat, corn. rice
oatmeal how many In an ounce Of beef
mutton, pork. &C. and in Ash, fowl or
what not--everything. In fact, that Is
used for human consumption--so tina,
we may all know how to eat wisely
and well at home. saving the lions share
for our soldier boys.
One popular priced restaurant in the
city, with branches in all the larger
cities throughout the country. publishes
on its bill Of fare the number of Galleries

advice to "eat plenty. eat well. eat
wisely" and It appears from this author.

The title emperor is assumed by the
ruler Of an empire, that is OF a ma
ton composed generally of several
countries once separate but later
brought together by conquest. coloni-
zation or confederation. Thus George
is King of England. Emperor OF India.
A kingdom may be part Of an empire.
The kingdom OF Prussia, for instance
is part Of the German Empire: the
kingdom Of Hungary is part of the
Austrian Hungarian Empire. The title
emperor is considered superior In dig

What Would the Hun Do?

! Were the conditions reversed were
II the Hun who was winning; had
his grand onslaught succeeded; had
ne captured Paris; had he planted
himself on the Channel ports; were
he steadily wearing out slowly re-
treating forces; were the evidence OF
our collapsing military and civil mo-
rale accommodating with every passing
day; were our man power diminish
ing and his own increasing. with re-
serves back of him for Indefinite fur
ther increases; were this the existing
state Of affairs. what would the Huns
programme be?
Would he be feeling his way to an
inconclusive peace by negotiation. or
a peace on terms Of his own dicta-
ton? Would he be deploring the
wholesale slaughter and whining
about the responsibility for further
slaughter resting on us and not on
him? Would he halt his plans for
absorbing Belgium and for reducing
France to a conquered province un-
der Hun yassalage? Would he do
any of these things. or would he be
moving relentlessly on with his pro-
gramme of crushing all before him
until the whole world was under the
Hun heel?
Were the Hun as sure he were
going to win as we are sure he Is
going to lose not a whisper or a
hint of peace, other than by COM
plete. crushing defeat of his enemies,
would be coming from him. His ca
reer of savagery would be taking on
n fresh and constantly accelerating
impulse. He would not stop until
every nation now resisting him was
ground into the dust. And what
would be his programme under such
circumstances must be the programme
of the Allies from now On--a pro-
gramme carried out to its last detail
of Hun subjugation, utter and COM
plete, unless we would. have the war
of the Allies a failure and all those
millions of precious lives Of civilized
men sacrificed in vain.
That, we apprehend, Is the doc
trine which Senator LODGE meant TO

Senate; 1t is the doctrine of LLOYD

We should be reluctant to say Of
the senior Senator from Illinois that
he never opens his mouth without
putting his foot in it--never Is prob
ably too strong term-but his most
devoted admirers must concede that
many Of his public utterances suggest
that observation.
The Hon. JIM HAM LEWIS was the
guest Of honor Oh Friday at n gather
ing at the American Luncheon Club
In London. In his address, after
needlessly denying that there was
any written alliance between the
United States and Great Britain, he
told his hearers that he voiced" his
opposition to writing down 1.-The de-
tails and items as to other countries
upon which peace can be based" He
feared such statement would en-
barrass the peace commissioners. 1T
would deprive them of the trading
basis necessary to the undertaking"
There could hardly be more
shocking suggestion to the moral
sense Of mankind than that the En-
tente Allies are to enter negotiations
for peace In a trading spirit!
What does our rosy bearded Pater
COnscriptus mean by a trading basis
necessary to the undertaking? On
the part of the Entente Allies this is
a war in behalf Of principles and for
protection against that arch enemy
OF civilization and law the Imperial
German Government. There is moth
ing at issue to which the idea of trad
Ing is in the slightest degree appli-
cable. Senator jim HAM LEWIS may
think that We propose to play Off one
bit Of conquered territory against
another. after the fashion Of treaty
making monarchs in the past but II
so he profoundly mistakes tho tenn
per Of the times as well as the mo-
! tives which actuate those who are
defending themselves and the world
against German aggression. There Is
rothing we want TO trade about; we
want first to bring the Germans TO
their knees in the humiliation Of de.
feat and thus inspire In them a
Willingness to deal justly with the
rest of mankind.
Senator JIM HAM LEWIS went on
to say that IL We disclosed our par
tlcular claims in detail the enemy
would be better prepared to Offset
them. This fear is unfounded. The
| claims which the Entente Allies put
forward will be claims that must be
| complied with. no matter how Ger
many may seek to avoid compliance.
The idea Of concealing our attitude is
just as much out Of place as the idea
| of trading at the peace table.
The truth Is that when the peace
commissioners gather around the ia.
nous green table that we have heard
so much about. the matters for their
consideration will be mere matters OF
detail. The real issues will have been
settled on the field of battle.
In these times the public utterances
Of Senator of the United States
when abroad are likely to be listened
to with respect. For this reason we
regard it as unfortunate that oul
honorable friend Senator jim HAN
LEWIS should have used such wore
as trading to characterize the pros
pective action Of our representatives
who shall negotiate the peace which
Is to bring to an end the great war.

With the assurance of goYern- meEt aid in the Atlin country this summer, and with the hope that the Caradian government will send a mining engineer to see what is re- quired in order to facilitate mining, the prospects for fine season in At In this summer are high, accord ing to Captain w.

 Mining in the creek beds has a. gain been resumed, the severe cold weather having caused all opera tinss to close down for 8 time. Ap- proximately 15O men are working at present, which force will be great ly increased during the open season. All mining men in that country are more than optimistic as to Atlin's future, and predict a development second to nothing In Alaska or the Yikcn..
 Atlin has done nobly in sending her sons to the war, 25 having gone so far. Of this number six have oa'd the supreme sacrifice.
