Use Less Soap
By DR.. SAMUEL c. DIXON
Commissioner Of Health Of Pennsylvania

In this season and at this time when
thousands of our young troops are be-
ing modified for. the National army
and are, of necessity, exposed to I'M
usual conditions often producing nerv-
Gus chills, is the wise time to econo-
mize on soap. Again, when the cost
of living is so high all along the line,
it will be an economy to use less soap
as it is much-abused article. 1t is not
necessary, as so many seem to think,
to have a stiff, creamy lather in order
to dissolve the dirt that is filling up
the pores of the skin. On the contrary,
very little sOap-pure soaps re-
quired to break up the dirt and per-
NIT the water to remove it from the
pores so that the glands may perform
their normal duty.
The pores are the openings on the
surface of the skin of the sweat glands
and must be kept clear and free from
either dirt, soap or any matter that
would tend to interfere with their ac-
ton in the elimination of perspiration.
Imperfect action of the sweat glands is
a source of disease, various matters
accommodating in the system, which
would otherwise be eliminated.
Therefore, economy in soap would
not only be a saving in money, but
would help in saving human life, by
cutting down respiratory diseases.

Pity for Unmarried

When we consider the ordinary lives
of unmarried men, we must give them
our pity, for they have deprived them
selves of anxiety, says W. L. George, in
Harpers Magazine. Nearly all earn
as much as they need, and nearly all,
in their isolation and purposelessness,
learn to need all that they earn.
Their work done, their pockets full
enough, there is no mortgage on their
time, no compulsion as to their resi-
dence no demand that they should in
terest themselves in the occupations
or ideas of wife, or child or friend
in anything. indeed, except themselves.
q limited field for ones interest, for
soon one can know ones self too well,
and intimacy may breed contempt.
Marriage releases you from the I'M
real by giving you many real things
to think about, by satisfying your need
for association with the solid earth.
That need satisfied, your spirit is free
TO wander in the unreal, in abstract
thought, in artistic desire, instead of
being bound by the continual aspiration
of the unmarried to the real things
they do not possess.

John LIS Place in History
May Never Be Attained by
Squared Ring Men OF Today

Not only was John l.. Sullivan the
best-known of all American pugillsts,
but it cannot be denied that the great
majority of his fellOw-cOuntrymen, no
matter how much they disapproVed Oh
prizefighters and prizefghting, had Tor
this particular product of the squared
ring a feeling in which there were APP
preciable elements of pride and atfec-
ton, states a writer in the New YORK
Times.
He was, of course, for many years
the idol of all to whom such proWess
as his appeals, and there seems to have
been no doubt that the man had lk-
able qualities in addition to his cour-
age-which is a quality that earns ana
wins respect, no matter by whom dis
played or how.
A tale used to be told of somebody
who ventured to converse in the pres
ence of the Archbishop of Canterbury
about an approaching battle between
the then heavyweight champions or
Great Britain and the United States.
According to the legend, the prelate
prOfeSsed his proper ignorance OF such
matters, but could not refrain from
adding that nevertheless it seemed to
him probable that the Englishman
would win. SO Sullivan, even in his
most rOisterous days, was expected TO
win by the whole American public, and
when at last he fell there was more
sorrow for his defeat than acclaim for
the victor.
No other pugilist ever has gained in
America the position Sullivan held, and
probably no other representative of his
class ever will do so. There was some
thing amiable, even in his fOllies and
weaknesses, and he was picturesque
and quotable long after his inevitable
fate overlook him.

Prime Minister of England
Asks an Extra Hour a Day
to Help Beat the Germans

While American farmers are being
urged to do everything possible to help
feed the nations engaged with Ameri-
ca in the war, they should not get the
notion that those nations are not do
ing their utmost to feed themselves.
Lloyd George, prime minister of
Great Britain, has just issued an ap-
peal to the agricultural workers of
England, which could also have been
very properly made to American farm
ers. His letter was as follows:
81 ask all workers on the land to
do their very utmost to help to grow
more food. There is a shortage of
food all over the world, and we may
have to feed our army and navy, as
we'll as ourselves on what we can grow
at home. They cannot fight on unless
they are properly fed. Every full days
work that you do helps to shorten the
war, and brings peace and victory
nearer. Every idle day and all lOiter-
ing lengthens the war and lessons the
chance of victory.
"YOur comrades in the trenches are
under fire every hour of the day and
night. Will you not help them to win
by working an extra hour each day?
That is the way in which we can beat
the Germans"

Cotton and Soy Beans Fat
Producers Giving America
Advantage Over Germany

"The Germans, with their colossal
military preparedness, failed mlserabIy
at one point. They had soldiers and
guns galore, but they were short Of fat,
says Milo Hastings in Physical Culture
writing on 1.-THE Extravaganza OF
Meat" No provision had been made
in their domestic economy to produce
home grown vegetable fats. When I'M
portations were shut off and the guam
titles of live stock were reduced as
matter of economizing grain food, the
Germans both industrially and dieteti-
cally suffered acutely from fat prlVa-
ton.
"Their laboratory food scientists had
told the military authorities that car
bohydrates were dietetic equivalents or
fat. Through the means of most PAIN
full experience the Germans found out
the scientists had been mistaken, ana
smuggling fat into Germany today is
as profitable as shipping whisky the
week before Christmas.
'In America we have no such prob
lem of the shortage of fats. AS Dy-
product of our cotton industries we
have an annual production of 15O,OOO-
900 gallons of oil, and we have the soil
and climate suitable for the production
of other vegetable fats. Among the
most promising OF such fat producing
crops is the soy bean.
"The soy bean is sort of vegetaple
live stock. All the arguments III faVor
of live stock apply to this distinctive
plant. It's growth enriches the soil py
the extraction of nitrogen from the air,
hence it is a source of actual gaining
in soil fertility. The soy bean In our
Southern states yields thirty bushels to
the acre-one-third of the product be-
ing oil and another third protein. Both
elements are excellent human foods,
and il is only a question of learning
how to work them up into palatable
form"

Latest in Artificial Eyes.

To make an artificial eye practically
indistinguishable is the aim of a Brit
ish army surgeon who is experimenting
with a ball made of cartilage as a
substitute for metal or glass one. A
sphere of such construction when put
in place establishes connections with
blood vessels and the surrounding It's
sues. When thus fixed in the cavity
it is supposed to be capable of move
ment corresponding to that of a nor
NAL eye and Furthermore fills the space
so that there is no depression, as is in
variably the case where a shell is used.

ticability of the scheme there Is rea-
son to expect that the war has brought
forth another triumph in plastic sur

Even more than in Germany Is the
army a part of the daily life of the
Swiss.
With this spirit of militarism a part
of the daily national life there is moth
ing of militarism in the attitude Of the
people, because all the preparation and
system of training is purely for de-
Tense and not for aggression. At the
same time it is believed that the train
ing given boys and men is of the great
est service in raising the standard OF
the Swiss manhood and in improving
the health of the whole population.
Nothing is wasted in this land of
thrift, and the old remark of the hum
orist that nothing escapes the Chicago
pork packer but the squeal could not
be truthfully said of the Swiss efforts
toward efficiency. 1t is doubtful If
even the squeal would be wasted.
The Nobel Peace Prize for 1917 has
been awarded to the international Red
Cross committee in Geneva. This COM
mittee has, since the outbreak Of the
war, thanks to the Swiss and untiring
efforts of it's president, Gustave Ador,
lately elected federal counselor and
chief of the political department of
the Swiss Confederation, achieved such
remarkable and enviable success
that Switzerland today is generally re-
ferred to, as Mr.. Stovall, the United
States ambassador to Switzerland,
himself said, as the Good Samaritan"
The most remarkable of all the vari-
Gus humanitarian undertakings in the
world war, organized by this commit
tee is the agency for prisoners of war
at Geneva. The huge amount of work
performed by this institution and
other benevolent organizations in
Switzerland is reflected by the latest
report given out by the Swiss postal
authorities. This shows that since the
beginning of the war until the end of
October, 1917, 334, 772,081 letters and
postcards and 62,21O,645 small parcels
have been taken over and reforwarded
to the prisoners Of war of both bel
ligerent groups held in the various
countries.

ton dates back to BerthOld Won Zah-
rigen, who in the year 1921 erected
there a stronghold. Since the early
days Of the fatal month of August,
1914, and especially again in the last
few months, it has been frequently
referred to as "The City of Diplo-
mats" for there are now more diplo-
(and also spies are plentifuD in
Berne than there ever was in any
other city in the world. Berne has
come to be considerd as the most prob
able place for the conference which
will follow the war.
The keen recognition that the coun-
try lay in the midst of nations that
never have lived in neighborly love
made Switzerland for centuries a mill
tary country, although the CONSUMPTION
law now in force does not date back
beyond the revolution of 1S4S.
Even in its military relations the
country is truly democratic because it
has no standing army, for no canton
may have more than 800 armed men
permanently; yet it has a militia sys-
TEN, by which every man between the
ages of eighteen and fifty-two years
is in one or another of the classes
likely to be called to the cOlors, and
the mere training begins when the
boys attend school, for from the early
age of seven the Swiss boy is taught
to hold a rifle and to shoot it, too.
The value of the training and the
system which has been in force in
Switzerland since the last military up
heaval in Europe in 1S4S was strongly
shown when war began in August,
1914. It was Switzerland which first
modified her troops. She had large
bodies of men on her frontiers even
before France had modified complete
ly and even before the German mob
ilization, with all its perfection of eff
cheney, was accomplished.
For the next six months the forces
on her frontiers were constantly
strengthened until there are now per-
haps 100000 men of all arms defend
ing Switzerland's democracy.

Seven important New Food
Rules Are Now in Effect

The federal food administration now
asks all individuals and all hotels,
restaurants and boarding houses to OBJ
serve:
1. Wheatless Monday
2. Wheatless Wednesday.
8. One wheatless meal every day.
4. Meatless Tuesday.
5. Porkless Saturday.
6. One meatless meal every day.
z. Save fats agd sugar every day.
"Wheatless" now means to use no
wheat in bread, crackers, pastry,
breakfast food, or anything, except the
small amount necessary to thicken
soup or gravy or to bind cornbread or
other cereal breads.
"Meatless" means no beef, pork,
mutton, veal or lamb in any form,
fresh or preserved, and no bacon, ham
or lard.

''In that case, your majesty" suave-

This anecdote may or may not be
authentic, but it serves to show the
true military quality of the Swiss
army, which for, its size and cost is
one of the finest bodies of marksmen
in the world.
From the days of the mythical Will
liam Tell and the apple the Swiss have
made shooting a national sport. Prob
ably no army in the world can show
so high an attainment for sharpshoot-
ing as the Swiss, and during the last
three years the knowledge of this
quality no doubt has not been entirely
without effect in the preservation of
the Swiss neutrality.
Surrounded by beligerentS since the
war was begun in 1914, Switzerland
has been able to maintain it's neutral
ty, and this despite the fact that with
in her borders are opinions that sharp
ly favor one or the other of the coun-
tries at war.
While the cantOns which border the
German empire are, so far as the
issues o. the war go, profoundly pro-
German, and while the inhabitants of
the majority of the cantons speak
nothing but German, this favor does
not extend further than the borders
of the country. Switzerland as a
country is neutral state, and has
refused to enter the war on either
side
Self-preservation plays a great part
in this view, no doubt, for were the
country to align itself with the cen
trail powers 1t would soon be overrun
from the south and west by the troops
of the allies, only too eager to find a

Germany. On the other hand, any
attempt to ally itself with the entente
powers would result in having German
troops pour over the eastern borders in
such numbers that the little country
could not expect to escape suffering
The part assigned her in the great war
has been recognized by all the bellig-
erents as that of the Good Samaritan.
And there the little country stands in
the midst of wars alarms, Serenely on
guard, but otherwise playing the
part of the neutral and the friend
of all.
