Eat Corn: Grow Beautiful

HE statement that comes from Kansas
j. to the effect that corn is a beautifier
IS going to do more than anything else to
increase its consumption, For so great is
the demand for beauty mlady will con-
sumo anything that is to be obtained if it
promises to produce it. In this she is right,
for beauty is worth all it costs to obtain it,
But to get back to the subject 1t seems
that at beauty contest half dozen girls
who outranked all others admitted they
ate nothing but cornhrcad They stood
"1OO' for complexion and ''98" for shapeli-
ness. We can easily see wherein corr
bread might influence the complexion, but
we have never before heard that shapelj-
ness was a matter Of diet, further than as
shapelincss pertains to size. But we must
accept the verdict of the Understand go
ahead advocating cornbrcad as a moulder
of form as we'll rs q producer Of COM

The truth is that cornbread is a whole

health. We need not pursue the subject

by the british navy's assured control of the

menace still exists and will become even

An Iron Foundry in the
War Area

q N interesting narration Of opera
~ ton under unique and difficult con-
ditions of an iron foundry in the
war area is given by the correspondent of a
British paper writing from the firing line
in France. He relates: One does not see
much foundry work out here, but few
weeks ago l was billeted in town nearby,
and actually saw cupola in full blast. |
at once got permission to have a look
around, and was greatly surprised at what
l saw. The foundry was very primitive
affair-Just a little jobbing shop-and was
mostly run by French women and girls,
superintendent by a few men. These women
were making work up to three or four
hundred pounds in weight, and in a little
side shop some half dozen women were
making component parts Of machinery by
the simple method Of bedding-in. l after
ward saw some Of the finished work, and
it would put to shame the work done by
many of our so-called molders at home
The women work in ordinary dress, and
work very clean and exact in both iron
and brass, and also under shell fire and air
raids. In the shop was a great hole where
a German had dropped great bomb the
night before, but the women still worked
on.-.Scientifc American.

Concerning Oysters

\ S EARLY as so B. c. the fame Of the
British oyster had extended as far
as Rome, and Sallust seems to have been
more impressed by the oyster than by any
ether feature of the country, for he wrote:
"The poor Britons-there is some good in
them after all-they produce an oyster"
In so a. d. oysters were exported from
the Thames estuary to Rome. and ever
since that time England has had an oyster
industry Of respectable proportions, al
though for many years the supply has
been inadequate 10 fill London's gigantic
demands, and importations from the
United States, Holland and France have
been necessary.-San Francisco Argonaut

Zoology and the War
Scientific lMORthL1l

E&PEAKING broadly, no other science
~ is doing more perhaps none so
much. as zoology, or rather biology, to pro-
mote effective and successful prosecution
of the war;" writes Professor Marquard
NJ. Metcalf, in the March issue of "rhe
Scientific Monthy.' And he continues:
This seems strong statement, as one
thinks OF our dependence upon chemistry for
explosives and thousand other products.
upon mechanics for ordnance and all sorts of
war engines and upon engineering for the
great activities of military annd naval con-
struction. OF course all the sciences are so
ntcrdependcnt that no comparisons can really
be drawn. The statement is of value chiefly
to challenge attention and persuade the read
er to examine the relation of zoology-purcly
scientific 2ooogyto the problems Of the
"Man is an animal and all our knowledge
OF him and his activities is biological and all
our methods of dealing with him and his life
must be founded upon biological science. a
mere roster Of the biological sciences is
sufficient to show our dependence. Some of
these are; Morphoogy, including anatomy

and embryoogv; physiology, both normal
and pathologica!; geology, including parasi-
tology, with bacteriology as its major sub
division; genctics; psychology; surgery and
scientific medicine but an application of
anatomy physiology and parasitology; and
perhaps as vital as any in its effects upon all
human life has been the knowledge of the
fact of evolution.
1T is often said this is q scientific war
and it is true both in its destructive aspects
and IN ITS safeguarding and protecting fca-
lures. 1t Is equally true that when all is
SAID as TO guns and explosives and poisonous
gases, the last word lies with the man power
OF the bcligerents. And it is here that 70
ologys great service is rendered. 1t is pure

the assembling of great numbers of men

CT would be impossible without the knowi-
edge reached by decades of Physiological re-
search. Our knowledge of sanitation and the

How to Fool Mrs. Hen

impassioned climax:

afoot. What is the meaning of this
apparent rift in the party? These are
questions which are being asked, and

that socialism, as represented by the
ST. Louis platform, has lost the support
of its most important 'intellectuals,' men

dreams, have unselhshly given of their

bloc which upholds divine right and mill

happening these days to all sorts of
ideals. War and socialism are in the
throes of sharp conflict.

a for March deals with the third
M Liberty Loan, and proceeds in part
as follows:
an the third Liberty Loan the people of
the United States face a summons without
precedent in history. They also face an
opportunity without historic parallel.
There have been great war loans in the past,
IS measured by the wealth and resources OF
Individual nations. Such was the British
Victory Loan Of year ago; such was the
second Liberty Loan, the first adequate recog-
milton by Americans Of their latent lending
power; such also was the Victory Loar of
our northern neghbors, in which one in every
eight Of the men, women and children OF
Canada gave to win the war But our third
Liberty Loan is an undertaking vaster than
any Of these by whatever standard VIC apply,
and more intensive, too, in that it calls for
personal sacrifice by every Of our hun
drcd and more millions.
"Not every one subscribe, it is true,
but to make the loan the success it ought to
be Will demand subscriber in every six Of
our population. Consider what this means
Inc average family is still figured at five per
SONG, and this IL probably accurate enough
IL the test be earning power and joint sup
port rather than the mere fact Of housing
under II single roof. Then of every six fam

"A third Liberty Loan suhscri ption must be
had from all but one.
And it must, in every case, be the largest
poasiblc subscription. It must on the aver.
age, be for no $50 bond, nor yet for d 500

bonds That means the pledge Of The saving
