GRAND DUCHESS MARIE.

Grand Duchess Marie, the titular ruler of the little state of Duxem- bourg, will be twenty-four years old tomorrow. Many conflicting reports have come out of Luxembourg as to the attitude of the young Grand Ouch ess to the Germans who invaded her country and who are in practical pos session of her territories. It has been said that Marie bitterly resented the violation of Luxembourg, and tha+ she has become voluntary prisoner ir her palace, refusing to have any thing more than is absolutely neces- sary to do with the Kaiser and his of ficers. Another report is that the Grand Duchess welcomed the Teutons and made no pretense of opposition to their violation of her country S neutrality. This much is definitely known-that on the day the Germans invaded Luxembourg, the late Pre- mier Eyschen handed his passports to the French minister and ordered him to leave the country, while the German minister was permitted tc remain. It is almost certain tha! the days of Luxembourg's 1ndepen- dence are numbered, for, according to prevailing opinion, that country will be incorporated with Belgium af- ter the Germans have been defeated | and the little Grand Duchess will then lose her throne.

WARS GREAT ATEST DIET LESSON IS iNADEQUACY OF THE FOODS
 UPON WHICH AMERICA IS REL TYING

preventable ills
 We now know that "war nephritis" and trench edema," almost identical in symptoms with the symptoms of the Kronprinz, Wilhelm, have broken out among the French and British troops to an extent sufficiently alarm ing to engage the attention of the Canadian Medical Journal (April, 191D, The Bulletins ct Memories de la Societe Medicale des Hospitaux (Paris, 1916), The New York Medical Journal (April 2S 1917), etc.
 The lesson of the Kronprinz Will helm is this: She has proved almost conclusively the inadequacies of, the, very foods on which America relies so heavily for the protection of her troops, as well as the protection of her so-called middle and lower class civilians.
 With Dr. Perrenon, the ships sur- geon, went over all these points, ans many more, treating them in detail. I did not suggest to him that it was heri-beri, which had so tragically af' fected his men, for the reason that the cure for beri-beri, pellagra, acid osis, nephritis, edema and scurvy is the same. It consists in restoring by unrefined foods to the sapped body the bases stolen from it
 Dr. Perrenon asked me to write 9 formula for feeding his stricken men. I did so.
 From him I received the following response in writing:
 With respect to the disease we have on board we are satisfied now that this condition is due to the i'm poverished character of our food sup ply. The remedy you have suggest ed is obviously the correct one and I shall immediately order it's applica- tion. I shall read your monograph studiously.
 ''E. PERRENON, Chief Surgeon, s. s. Kronprinz Will helm"
 The formula which it was my priv | ilegt to suggest, after all medical l treatment had failed and the extra ordinary result which followed its ap- | plication, will constitute the second l and final chapter of this dramatic, and, at the same time, truly scientific l episode.-From '"The Wars Greatest Diet Lesson," by Alfred w.

No Cause for Alarm at Berea College
Vice President Rumod Sums the Situation Regards
Meningitis Cases Berea

Thus far only nine cases of men,
nights have occurred among the
students at Berea College. All Of these
are on the road 10 recovery. The
vigilance OF DIR. Cowley and his as
sistant DR.. Lichtwardt and the ell
cient work OF the Superintendent
II the Hospital, Miss Powell with
her staff. Miss Stearns and the nur-
ses. have made II possible for all OF
these to recover. II is not likely
that another case will occur.
However, il is wise TO take every
precaution. Gatherings where large
groups may be assembled have been
discontinued.
The Health Officers Of the United
States Government are on the ground
and will find those who are carriers
Of the disease SO that these may be
separated from the rest Of the stu
dent body and properly treated.
This is really "A protection for the

as any one is found free from the
germs Of meningitis he will be in

reported from the cultures, students
are not allowed TO leave Berea.
There is no need-of alarm. All OF
our cases are recovering. Students
are safer here than in any other
place. Our action is now being taken
at the direction of the State Board
Of Health through the County Board,
and is an attempt TO prevent endan-
gering the health Of students and cit
liens Of Berea and elsewhere. No
time, trouble or expense is being
spared TO make Berea safe. IL is
only another Of the many evidences
that Berea College looks after the
best interests Of its students. Boys
and girls are safer in Berea than
they would be at home. When there
is real cause for alarm Berea College
will be the first one to let you know.
