American officers in Germany will
tolerate no Hun propaganda even by
the German clergymen. One of these
gentlemen of the cloth was recently
dragged from his pulpit and fined
$4,000 for preaching kaiserism, while
another German was fined $500. Many
violators of law have been sent to Jail
and fined and our officers compel the
German press to publish a list of the
names of offenders. The latter consti-
tutes bitter pill for German news
papermen to swallow, but they know
what a refusal to take their medicine
would mean. ..0f.

Why not withdraw our troops from
Russia? It is not the true American
spirit to keep our soldier boys up in
Siberia to suffer the rigors Of an arc
tic winter and sacrifice their lives for
horde of terrorists-t red-f1ag-
gers of bolshevism. Let the internal
bewhiskered anarchists of the oppos-

der is worth more than the whole OF
the so-called bolshevik army. Why
have the boys not been brought home

Much dissatisfaction is manifest
throughout the country over the pas
sage by an extravagant congress Of
the $1OO,0O0,O00 charity bin, which
means that a large percentage, if not
all, of this money will be devoted to

this money would have been an action
to which few would object, but giving
to the enemy, for whose condition we
are in no way responsible, is an en-

BRITISH ADVANCE IN AFRICA

Railway development in Africa Is

Ruanda from the trunk line that Ger.

a country where the war in Europe
probably saved the natives from Ger
nan attack. Ruanda had remained an
undeveloped part Of the German pos.
session, but had been examined and
written down as particularly worth
while to develop for the variety Of its
products. The new railway had
brought German military force within
striking distance, and the history OF
German management In Africa gives
every reason 20 believe that the open

GOOD HEALTH RULES FOR ALL
English People Have Many Ideas
Which II Would De Well for
Americans to Copy.

One of the most popular forms Of
food in England is cheese. This sup
plies a highly concentrated protein
food which, when properly ripened and
masticated. is usually well assimilated.
Not only does this food contain a large
percentage Of protein, but 1t also con
tains fat and mineral salts. When
combined with bread, which is a carbO-
hydrate food, cheese makes an ideal
combination, supplying as 1t does all
the elements necessary for nourish-
ment-protein, fat. carbohydrate and
minera salts.
Cheese and bread is a very popular
form Of food in England and it is
eaten by all classes. Being an eco
nomical food, it Is eaten TO a larger
extent by the laboriRg classes. who,
owing to the sort of work they do, re-
quire a good tissue builder at q mod
crate price.
1t is well to remember that part Of
the health Of the English race is due
to the fact that the English life is an
outdoor life, and 1t is a very good
thing for us to profit by this and cuI-
tivate at all times. in ourselves and In
