tox will be presented to the Virginia

in the American Magazine:
What the Germans needed for a
Kaiser was a man with a sense OF
comedy. Such a man would have

This satisfied something in him, for

Strong Seasoning Hurts Stomach.

In an article about food and grow
ing fat, a well-known doctor says N
the American Magazine:
When you continue to pour strong
mustards and other seasoninss into
your food day after day and week
after week there can be no question
but that their effect is injurious. ];
is exactly the same as IL one used a
drug Of some sort. Constant use
creates the desire to increase ousutI-
ties until the amount used becomes
positively harmful
For example, everyone knows that
when mustard or pepper is put on the
skin. the skin reddens and IN lev.
minutes a blister is caused. And
since the skin can stand a great deal
more than the membrane OF the mouth
and stomach, YOU can well imagine
the effect upon IL when you pour
strong mustsrds and peppers in your
stomach. So IL you are prone 10 iu-
digestion and ssstritis, see II you are
not using too much seasoning in your
food"

Foch VS.. Ludendorf.

Never before in the war has the Prussian theory
OF war received such clean-cut test, as opposed
to the French, as in the offensive of IoIS-and
particularly in the fifth phase OF that offensive
which is still in progress.
Strikingly alike in some respects, radically
different in Others Foch and Ludendorf are now
rapidly reaching the point where the warfare in
the West is becoming entirely an intellectual
duel between them. Is it too much to say that
in this duel the advantage is entirely with the
Frenchmsn' To begin with he has the advantage
OF clear. dry, brilliant Gallo mind-the kind of
brain which, from the scientific point of view ranks
the highest in the world Ludendorf on the
other hand, is touched, to a certain extent, with
the Prussan blight-the mind that combines intense
concentration on detail with impatient generaliza-
lions and certain arrogant, grandiose conception
Of things. The Prussian is constantly suffering
from considerable amount of self-education; the
idea that what he wills to be must automatically
and relentessly become the fact
Here is a certain facet of the difference between
the French and German theories of warfare, as
by the New York Evening Post:
1T seems fair to say that there is general
difference in the way in which the two commands
visualize Both believe in the overwhelming
application of force, and both believe in hnesse
out the Germans put force immeasurably the
higher Hence their favorte SMILES of the iron
ring and the hammer blow. 1t may be said that
hey took this from Napoleon. No one ever
surpassed him in the rapid and crushing concen-
tration OF against the weak point Of the
enemy. An artillery officer himself, he practced
the massing OF guns in a way prophetic of the
modern hesping up OF howitzer and mortar. But
