BREADS OF ACoRNS, CHESTNUTs.
BANANAS, BEANS AND PEAS

Recent dispatches from Germany
have referred to bread made OF beech-
nuts and acorns. This serves to recall
that in the earliest days both OF these
were put to the same usage. AcornS
are still made into bread by certain
Indian tribes, and in colonial times
acorn meal was common among the
natives. 1t is said that after being
boiled several times the acorns lose
their bitter taste, becoming sweet and
wholesome.
Almost everything that grows has
been called upon to make bread for
man. In remote ages the Egyptians
of the Nile valley prepared bread from
the seed of lotus flowers. These flowers
grew abundAntly in the mud OF the
river bottom. and when the annual
overflow receded there was a harvest
of lotus flowers, just as We harvest
wheat today. II (
Early records Of the North Euro
pean peoples, particularly In Scandi Il
navia shows that the poor subststed
partly on bread made of nothing norsa
substantial than ground moss. HuN
this had such slight nutritive lSvAtue
that 1t was almost worthless as a food

While the impression has been gen.

loan bonds, the fact is that only $780,
900 of the school and university funds
are so invested. The board voted to

loan was so largely over subscribed
that all subscriptions of more than
100000 were cut down rs per cent
when the bonds were appOrtioned.
Subscriptions under 100000 were cut
down 10 per cent. The board of uni
versity and school lands, therefore,
was allotted $15O,O0O worth of bonds,
and the trustees of the state teach
ers' retirement fund, who had sub

~ More Artillery Activity
Increased activity especially in the
artillery on the western front has not
yet resulted in any determined attack
by either of the opposing forces. The
Germans are more active on the Brit
ish and Belgian fronts than elsewhere.
Near Kippi, in Flanders, the Belgians
have driven the enemy from parts of
the trenches he took several days
ago.
Recent German attacks on the Brit
ish lines in the Ypres area were
checked through British knowledge Of
enemy plans gained from deserters
and prisoners. The enemy intended
to take important positions south Of
Houtholst forest, but heavy British fire
prevented a major effort and the
strong British defense threw back the
strong local attacks the Germans car
ried out
On American Sector
On the American sector, northwest
of Toul, the artillery and aerial activ-
ity has increased. American gunners
have shelled effectively various enemy
targets opposite the American
trenches, The German reply was with
out result.
German aeroplanes have attacked
American trenches with machine gun
fire, while French gunners brought
down an enemy aeroplane within the
American lines.
Progress is being made by the Brit.
ish armies in Mesopotamia and Pales'
tine. Eighty miles west of Bagdad'
on the Uphrates river, the British have
occupied Hit, the Turks retiring with
out opposition. Advancing northwest
Of Palestine, General Allenby's forces
have gained ground Immediately west

Turks resisted strongly in both places
and on the Jerusalem-Nabulus road
the British advance was two or three
miles on a front of 13 miles.

BUT ONE DEATH
FROM DISEASE
IN NINE MONTHS
Sammies With American De.
stroyers and Supply Ship
Have Health Record

Base of the American r'lotilla in
British Waters, March 11.-(Corres-
pondence Of the Associated Press)-
One death from disease in nine
months is the health record of the
American 1orces i'm the destroyers
and supply ships operating from this
base. This fact and subsequent fig
ures would prove all the more remark
able if the ratio could be given bat
the number of Americans over here is
of course, not for publication.
This gratifying record is regarded as
a splendid tribute to the flotilla's SEN
ior surgeon who holds the rank of
lieutenant commander and his two
assistants, junior surgeons, who rate
as lieutenants.
Sixty-two operations under general
anaesthesia have been performed by
this trio since the arrival of the first
OF the American destroyers over here
last spring. The majority Of these
were abdominal operations. And all
were done without single case of in
fection, noteworthy point. In the
same period there were 1S9 minor
operations. These were done under
local anaesthesia.
The medical work consisted chiefly
of the care and treatment of respira-
tory diseases due to exposure from in
clement weather. cold and dampness,
and sea watches in rough weather.
There has also been considera bic
amount of laboratory work.
The general health of the Americans
continues excellent, despite the rig
ors of the raw, repressing climate Pc
culiar to the south coast of Ireland.
They miss the dry, crisp winter
weather of the northern part of the
United States. The dampness here
abouts causes colds to be contracted
easily and weakened constitutions
crack under the strain. A few of such
men have been sent back to the Unit
ed States but the greater majority of
the sailors are in better health than
in time of peace.

and the great cause in which he fell.
Especially did he commend the Spar

this loyal American mother when
called upon to give her only son
to the cause. Rev. Postlethwaite
was assisted by Rev. w. J..
