LEST WE FORGET is A
WONDERFUL SPECTACLE
Has Thrilling Scene Depicting
the Sinking of the Great
Liner Lusitania.

When the producers of LEST

with the problenl ri reproducing
the scenes aboard the ili-fated
Lusitania during the minutes De-
fore the great steamer took h.
final plunge to the bottom Oh
ocean, they had before them
task such as few film maker
would care to undertake.
The uptilted decks, the p.
stricken passengers, the rush OF
the ocean waters-all have been
depicted with such ii startling
vividness and reality that the
spectator seems himself to be
there amidst those fearful
scenes.
In working out the details the
producers had the advice of the
star, Rita Jolivet, who was her
self present at that terrible ca
tastrophe, and was one of those
saved from the fearful death
that overlook so many hundreds
who went down with the doomed
vessel.
"What her eyes have seen
your eyes shall see," was the
motto of those who made the
picture, and that they have sue
ceeded in their work speaks vol
umes for the skill of the pro
ducer of films today.
"Lest We Forget" will prove
one of the strongest arguments
for the war that has ever been
shown upon the screen. 1t is
being shown today at the No
gales Theater.

Some people live, while others

Has 1t ever occurred to you
that 1t Is your duty to your coun-
try, as we'll as to yourself and
family, that you really live?
F Our country needs real, live
men and women to help in this
struggle for democracy, humanity.
And do you think for a moment
that you can do your bit IL you
are not physically fit? NO.
AS a matter of fact, health is a
signpost on the road to happiness;
Victory in this war will be an
other. We all know that we will
win this war-eventually; but let's
do it now.
Then will come happiness. But
how can we be happy IL we know
that our brave boys lover there"
are suffering? Let's help them all
we can. To do this we must be
physically fit.
Farming is synonymous with
health. and so by working on a
farm this summer, you can hit
the kaiser twice with the same
bullet, as 1t were; farming means
food--a necessity in this war, and
Ii also means health--another
necessity IL we would be able to
do all that is asked of US next
fall and winter.
Then we will be happy, healthy,
and SO we can really LIVE.

Need Phosphate
EDITOR THE TIMES:

In view of the amazing preva-
lence locally Of both animal and
human tuberculosis, am impelled
to make the following constructive
warning:
The soil of the Puget Sound dis
trict has an alarming deficiency
OF lime and Hms-phosphate. (Cal.
cium compounds.)
United States assays of our To-
cal soils show deficiency Of 10
tons an acre." in lime alone.
Lime, phosphorus, ma gnesia
and even sulphur and iron are in
dispensible in our foods.
Unless our soils contain these
Substances in abundance we must
either add them to our soil or i'm
port food from the regions whore
these substances are found.
! Animal life can not live on the
mineral kingdom. The plants
(grains and vegetables) stand be-
tween us and inorganic or mineral
things which our bodies can not
use.
Standard dictionary says: "The
problem of furnishing phosphate
matter to our soil is the gravest
of all which man has to meet
Unless our farms abound in cal
cium phosphate-and they lack 1t
we can not maintain healthy
physical, mental and moral life.
1t is supremely important that
gardens and farms be fortified
with ground raw lime, ground
fbone, gypsum, etc.
Until this is done, 1t will be
necessary to secure line of
bread foods produced In other re-
gions; even whole wheat and 9TH
er grains will not suffice, as the
percentage of lime-phosphate is
not sufficient to make up the de-
ficiency due to our vegetables and
fruits being grown in soils that
lack them.
The people of Tacoma should
make and eat bread from flour
from which the starch has been re-
moved. This means a higher per-
centage of lime-phosphate, so as
to make up the serious deficiency.
Personally, I have found 1t i'm
possible to keep my health and
work effectively on the ordinary
bread and other foods to be
bought in the markets. I make
