DEMAND THAT IS SUPREME
World Must Have Food, for Famine
and Disorder Have Always
Been Synonymous.

About 1850 Benjamin Franklin OBJ
served in Poor Richards Almanac that
wherever there was famine there was
disorder, and wherever there was dis
order famine followed in it's train.
This has been the keynote of the
present world situation, Graham Lusk
writes in the American Museum Jour
nal. Lack of hygiene and sanitation
does not cause disorder. Soldiers have
lived %incrusted in the mud of Flanders,
but have maintained their morale
when well nourished. The Russian is
firmly convinced that the louse is nee.
essary for health because this vermin
leaves his body only in the event of his
death. If cleanliness were as much
desired by the people as food, then the
streets of cities would be kept in
perfect order, and no dirt would be
allowed to accumulate upon them. In
deed, TolstOy teaches that the desire
for cleanliness is a cultivated extrava-
gance and not an instructive impulse.
The coll for food is. however, in~sistent
and instructive and must be satisfied
or social discomfort arises.

A "Gob" Editorial on
Benefits of Training
from ths Great Lake, suIletin.

The health record of the men passing through Camp Barry daily
shows that in almost every instance they are returning to civil LIE
In a much better condition than when they entered.
They have been inoculated for typhoid fever, diphtherla and
smallpox. They have been given every protection against disease.
Pure water, pure food and correct living conditions have been theirs:
Now they are returning to their homes to resume the duties OF
citizens and voters. '.al. 8mF, - ..
In their community they will have a part in the making OF the
laws and regulations of their town.
a Will they drop back into the old order Of things and forget the
lessons in health they learned while in the service Of Uncle Samf
Or will they pass laws obtaining for their townspeople, their families
and themselves, the same protection which they enjoyed while wear
ing the uniform of bluef "
If they introduce ordinances which will insure pure milk and
pure water for their community, and also provide for an incubation
of the whole community at least every four years, they will have taken
a big step in the prevention Of disease in general and typhoid fever
in particular.
The community will not have families left on their hands made
destitute by the loss of their main support through deadly disease.
1t is a matter worthy of deep consideration.
The above is not a preachment by a medical writer; Of course,
those fellows want to boost their game. 1t is not a bulletin by some
health department; of course, health departments feed us such stuff.
No. 1t was written by a COB for gobs. / am sure that If we dug
around enough we would find a simir statement in some camp jour
nal written by a private soldier for soldiers. I am not going to add a
word to the editorial. 1t cannot be improved. u..

Refusina Remuneration.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
1t is passing strang that with the
promise Of a world regeneration before

medium Of the federal prohibition amend
ment the voters in Massachusetts and
Vermont towns are feverishly filling arid
places with licensed saloons. Cities and
villages that ave been dry for years
have marched over into the wet column,
the wet majority being imposing as well
as decisive. In Vermont, as in Massa-
chusetts, no wet community went dry.
The explanation may be found in the
hypothesis that the voters, realizing that
the drought is to descend in July, are

win Help Restore Forests.

The American Forestry association
will aid in restoring the forests Of
Great Britain, France and Belgium
which were sacrificed to the allied
cause in the war, Charles Lathrop
Pack, retiring president Of the World

Of Belgium's forests of timber value

that Great Britain's sacrifice in for

A Statue With Glasses.
From London It'd Bits.

A singular question has been raised by
the proposal to erect a statue Of Presi-
dent Wilson in Londo The point is, can
a statue have eye glasses? 1 confess /
have never seen one so adorned; yet Mr..
Wilson'S glasses, being part of himself.
must certainly be part Of his effigy as
well.
Why is IT that glasses on the nose Of a
president lose that ~incongruity which
they seem to posses on the nose OF a king:
King GustAf, of Eweden, Is the only mon

and a pirce-nez happens to accord wen

the king OF the Belgians occasionally
uses are curiously out OF the picture.
