NEATLY PHRASED

When a great number Of men are engaged in a com
mon effort. each operating in his own way and in his own
field, but all contributing toward the same great result
it is obviously impossible to say with accuracy that any
one of them actually did the work And in most such
cases it is impossible to say whose contribution was the
most valuable.
Who won the war? Was it those who endured the
longest fighting and wore down the enemy, month by
month and year by year until he was ready for the final
blow, or was it those who came in to administer that
blow, and did it effectively, when their friends were all
but exhausted? It is difficult to assign the place OF su:
preme honor to any nation without a suspicion of boast
fulness. and without more than a suspicion of tactless-
ness. r
In his address at the university memorial exercises
last week, Dr.. Gordon, Of Winnipeg, paid high tribute
to all who contributed to the result, and expressed him.

CHINA IN THE WAR

as their self-sacrihcing devotion to the cause of liberty,
a spirit which. it is said, induced multitudes of the com
mon people to volunteer for service in distant lands in
support Of the principles Of democracy. 80
China contributed to the war all that she could well
give, and'al that was asked Of her. but a recent article by
an American who volunteered for British service in the
training of coolies for European service tends to strip
away some Of the slamor with which Chinese particle
patton in the war has been clothed. =,
This writer, Laurence Salisbury, who trained sew
eral hundred coolies in China, accompanied them on their
journey across two oceans and the American continent.
and retained charge Of them in France, deals very
frankly with his charges and the motives which led them
to volunteer. The Allied governments, he says. sought
the services Of coolies as laborers, and the Chinese gov
eminent gave III permission for their recruiting. It
did this very willingly because it was possible thus to
remove from China, at least temporarily. a large number
Of thieves, murderers and other undesirables whose pres
ence at homo tended to increase the abors-of-the au-
thorities. The recruiting, he says. was from the low
est classes, and especially in its earlier stages the GRIM
inal classes constituted a very large percentage of the
recruits. Later there was some Improvement in the ner-
sonnet, presumably from the exhaustion of the criminal
class. al ~ ~
The coolies were offered service as laborers quito
distant from the battle front and in zones of compare
tive safety. They were offered decent clothes instead
of the filthy rags which they wore, good and abundant
food. which was a novelty to them, and wages of 60
cents per day. which was far more than they had ever
earned before. Those who had families were required
to allot 40 cents per day to the families. and were at
liberty to dispose Of the rest as they saw At. To the
families affected 40 cents a day was wealth beyond their

Next give them a thorough soaking with
cold water. The season for transplating
hardy roses is April, May, October and

This phase Of rose culture Is in all
cases regulated by the habit of growth
of each particular bush. Generally
speaking all weak shoots are cut back
and all strong owes permitted to grow.
The old-fashloned moss rose needs the

Climbing roses should have their

choose meat or its equivalent, a
starchy vegetable, green vegetable,
salad and fruit for dessert.
Sugar and fats, as we'll as the starch
group, supply the heat and energy.
Make a daily practice of serving
succulent salad green with every
meal. We have for variety water
cress, lettuce, scallions, dandelions,
celery, cabbage, young onions, ro-
maine, endive and corn salads. This
old English custom promotes health.
Physicians tell US that diet Of
cereals, meat, etc, is lacking IN the
health giving elements unless we
include milk and the succulent leafy
vegetables.
Frequently some woman will com
plain that she finds fresh vegeta-
bles, fresh fruits and milk very ex-
pensive, and that as they do not
take the place of meat she can get
along very well without them.
Then again she will say that her
mother and grandmother did not
have these delicacieS and they had
splendid health. Surely so they had,
but do you remember that nauseat-
ing dose that was portioned out to
us when we were bilious-a disturb
ance that came from overrich menus
that contained insufficient fresh
vegetables and fruit, with their
health h-giving acids and mineral
salts? And who is there among us
who doesn't remember the old spring
dose of sulphur and molasses?
The days Of these old-time reme-
dies are gone and now we use in
their place plenty Of fresh green
vegetables, both raw and cooked, and
the juicy fresh fruits that are so
palatable.
Serve daily fresh fruit, and now
that the summer is coming fre-
quently light breakfast salad Of
fresh vegetables. Serve toast in
place of hot cakes and watfles. Have
"a cream soup for luncheon and
salad and dish Of fresh fruit. Try
using eggs and cheese, milk and fish
and the legumes TO replace the ex-
pensive cuts of meat on the daily
bill of fare and in this way increase
your efficiency.

General Pershing has arranged 70 pur-
chase from the Young Mems Christian
Association nearly million dollars
worth OF textbooks covering virtually
every phase of general and technical
education from elementary schools TO

French and British universities.
A recent cablegram said the estimate
placed by Y. M. G. A. officials on the
hooks already obtained by their agencies
in connection with the army educational
work was $964.792. and this estimate
had been accepted by the army.
The transaction marks the transfer Of
the complete educational program
abroad with its post and technical
schools, the a. +. F. university near
Paris and the postgraduate scholarships
to army control.
A report to the War Department
shows that on February 20 the enroll

WILSON, EXPLAINS
ABOUT FOOD VALUES
There Are Fiue Different Kinds, Al of Which Ought
to Be Included in Euery Hell-
Balanced Menu
By MRS. M. A, WILSON
Copprioht, 1919, bU Mrs. NJ. 4. wilson.

LIVERY ONE knows that when
wood is burned in the stove it
furnishes heat, and that only few
/ shovelfuls are left as waste or
8 ashes. Our bodies are very similar
TO the stove and the wood that is
burned in it. Some foods are en-
tirely burned up, thus giving US heat
or energy to do our work; other
foods build new tissue and repair the
waste tissue, and they leave a pro-
portionate amount of waste.
Now if our body is efficient and
quickly removes this waste we have
clear eyes, an elastic step and, in
the parlance of the day, are full of
pep. A body that fails to eliminate
the waste has slow, sluggish blood
steam, a dull eye and is only so per
cent efficient.
To prevent this condition eat
plenty Of fresh green vegetables,
/ whole-wheat bread, fresh fruits and
drink plenty of milk. Keep the fact
IN mind that a half-pint glass of
milk contains as much nutriment as
five ounces of lean cooked meat, and
when milk is used in puddings, Gus
tards and sauces they have addition
I al food value. Succulent vegetables
and fresh fruits contain large
amounts of pure distilled water and
mineral salts.
Now, milk also contains. in addi-
tion to its food constituents, large
percentage of water and mineral
salts, which act directly upon the
tissues and the blood stream.
There should be nothing difficult
or mysterious about planning we'll
balanced menu that will help us to
secure 100 per cent efficiency and
keep us physically fit.
First, you must divide the food
In f1ve groups, namely:
The protein group-Meats, fish.
eggs, cheese and legumes, which in

The starch group y Potatoes,
cereals and fours.
The sugar group-Sugars, dried
fruits, preserves, sirups, jellies, mo-
lasses and honey and fruit sugars.
The fat group-Butter, salad-oil

peanut butter.
The mineral group-Fresh fruit,
