The Girl He Brought With Him

According to the American Legion Weekly,
the soldiers and sailors of this country have
brought back with them from France, England,
Ireland and Scotland 10000 brides-most of
whom, of course, utter strangers in the
land, and nervously apprehensive of the first
meeting with the husbands relatives. The Ian
guage is not stranger than the mode of life;
it's long way to the matched roofs and white
walls of the village beyond the sea. When the
doughboy was in France he freely admitted his
longing for the sights and sounds and ice cream
sodas of home. Is it wonderful, then, if twinges
of nostalgia af1ict the demoisee or colleen
transplanted to the new world with all her hap
piness staked upon the matrimonial venture?
Some of them, of course, suffer bitter dis
iusionment. The husband tires of the sworn
allegiance, and there are slackers and deserters
in marital even as in martial affairs. The i'm
ported bride finds that the man she married is
tar less socitous and considerate now that he
is back in a land where girls of his own tongue
and social tradition are plentiful She is per-
haps less decorative than some of these young
women; her training has been in the more sub
stantial accomplishments of the home builder.
He looks for more of the playmate than she
knows how to be; her youth may have been
spent in SOLDERING toll, and since the war nearly
all the fun in the world has been in America
and not in Europe. We are bound to remember
when we institute comparisons that Europe has
been house of mourning when we have been
house of mirth. We may learn to make al
lowance for features that are not always frivo-
lously pretty when we reflect that the iron has
entered into the soul.
Let us, as we are urged to do, receive the
war-bride from abroad with every manifestation
of sympathy and not as though she had en-
shared the doughboy into entangling alli-
ance. In few instances can it be truthfully said
that she is marrying him for his money In
most cases he is coming from S33 month to
conjectural occupation. She is bravely electing
to share with him a hazard of new fortunes,
and she displays valiant initiative like his own
when he went over the sea to tight. She may
not reveal the lively versatility we associate
with the nature Of the American girl, but she
will, in congenial environment of answering
devotion, show the attributes OF affectionate
constancy that are the assurance of happy mar
riages.-Philad elphia Ledger

Summer Hotels and the Old Front Porch.


Apropos of nothing at all, American art
critic lifts his voice to complain against the
American summer hotel. Wanderlust stimu-
lated by sultry weather has led him to many
places in search of surcease from torridity and
other discomforts attendant on the season, but
in vain. His esthetic soul revots at the SINH
laritv he finds in the resorts where varied
simplicity might at least supernduce quiet by
mental reaction to the suggestion if not the
presence of ease. Instead of this, the tourist
is confronted with such an array of massive or
fragile furniture, immovable or impractcable,
as gives rise to the notion that hotels are
standardized, and flight from one to another
affords little opportunity of escaping the terror
inspired BY any, After reading what this dis
couraged traveller has to say, the old home
porch looms brighter and more inviting than
ever 1t is a place where at least you can have
YOUR own way about few things always keep
ing in mind the rules and regulations laid
down bv the missus The willow rocker, or
the hickory spnt haven of rest, the pipe and
the evening paper, very nearly reconcile the
stay-at-home to the presidents persistence in
his habit of vetoing bills to repeal the daylight
saving" law. And when the crckets and the
katydids the locusts and the tree toads strike
nd their evening concert, the satisfaction is so
perfect that some lazy wonder is excited that
folks ever 90 away from home in search of
rest during hot weather. The old front porch
is the best summer resort as yet invented.

Calcium in Cows Milk.

l.. E. Holt, A. M. Courtney and
H. l.. Fales (Amer. Journ. Diseases
Children 16 I91S), No. l, PIP. 81
56).-The authors find that Of a
group Of 80 bottle-fed children from
2 to Is months of age, 20 had a fat
retention of SO per cent or more Of
the intake-1S having over 80 and
10 over 95 per cent-while only two
retained less than 80 per cent. In
their opinion, this seems to indicate
that there is no serious loss of fat
when the usual simple dilutions of
cows milk are fed. They conclude
that unless the harm caused by a
fairly high calcium intake can be
definitely demonstrated it would
seem safer to allow an excess of
calcium in the intake rather than
to run the risk Of providing less
than is needed for the normal
growth of the bones.

age weights were for males 1891

cases where the infants received 100
calories per kilogram they were
found to be overfed. The average
initial loss of weight was found to
be 240 GIN. and the average time the
loss continued was three days. The
average daily gain in weight after
the third day was about 20 GIN. per

E. V. McCollum and N. Simmonds
Gamer. Jour. Physiol, 46 191S), No.
3, PIP. 275-3O1, pls. 3),-The authors
call attention to the fact that the
extent to which the material or
ganism, through the secretion of
the mammary gland. can serve as
a factor for safety for the sucking
is still very little understood. They
believe that the lactating mother,
like the growing animal, is unable
to effect chemical transformations
Of one food complex into another,
and that she can utilize food proteins
for milk production only to the eX-
tent that they yield amino acids in
proportion suitable for rearrange-
ment into milk protein. The result
of experimental studies led them to
the conclusion that the nursing
mother lis a very important factor
Of safety for her young in that her
mammary tissues can remove from
the blood all elements necessary for
the production of milk, approx
mating more nearly the normal in
quality than was the food from
which it was produced. She can
pass these on into the milk in de-
cidedly more favorable relationships
than they exist in her food. This
the mammary gland can do when
nourished by blood which contains
certain inorganic elements in such
relationships as render the cirrula-
tory fluids of the body a pahulum
from which the tissues of the young
can not secure satisfactory supplies
to permit the cells to grow, even
though the organic portion of the
diet is satisfactory"

led the authors to believe that many
of the troubles encountered with
bottle-fed infants receiving cows
milk are due to the i'll effects pro-
duced by the calcium. They believe
that Notwithstanding the high cal
cium content of cows milk the cal
cium metabolism of bottle-fed in
fants is seldom greater and often
less than that found in breast-fed
infants, much of the calcium being
eliminated as insoluble calcium
soaps. They refer to a method of
demonstrating cows milk which per-
mits the removal of much Of the
calcium, and advocate the use of
this "decalcified" milk in place of
the usual simple dilutions.
