must be ready to do the thing that
comes to him to do. France is no
place these days for the man who
thinks he has mission. There is
just one idea behind the whole work
and that Is service, what our boys
want and not what some missionary
thinks they ought to have. The man
who goes overseas must be a man Of
conscience. integrity and high ideals
and ability. And he must realize that
he is tackling the biggest job that 1t
was ever given man to do.
Second man must go in there with
the idea firmly fixed in his mind that
unless we win this war it were better
that America should be annihilated
than that she should retreat one step

barbarous Hun from imposing his un-
merciful sway over the world and
sweep democracy from the earth.

SOLDIERS LIKED WAR BREAD
British Fighting Men Found Their
Health Improved Through Use Of
UnboIted Wheat Meal.

4 little more than q century apo.
wnen Britain had been fighting for
years against Napoleon, food became
very scarce. Following is from book
on bread-making. written by Sylvester
Graham, In 1897:
In order to conserve wheat as much
as possible. the British government or
dered that the army should be supplied
with bread made from unbolted wheat
meal. 1. e., simply the wheat ground
without having the bran or middlingS
removed. The soldiers were at first
displeased with the bread and refused
to eat 1t. even casting it from them in
great rage, but after two or three
weeks they began to be much pleased
with 1t and preferred it to the fine
-four bread.
"The result Of this experiment was
that not only was the wheat made to
go further. but the health of the sOI-
diers improved so much and so mani-
festly in the course of few months
that 1t became matter of common re-
mark among themselves and Of obser-
walton and surprise among the officers
and physicians Of the army. They ex-
pressed themselves with confidence
and zeal on the subject The public
declared that the soldiers were never
so healthy and robust. The public pa
pers were for months filled with praise
Of whole-wheat bread, and 1t was reg
ularly introduced into families.
"Still, After this experiment with
such happy results and so general and
full testimony had been given in IA
or Of the coarse-wheat bread, when
large supplies of superfine -four came
In from America. and the crops from
home became again abundant and the
act of parliament regarding the food
Of the army became extinct. most of
the people by degrees returned to their
old habits Of eating fine bread"

Rubber In japan.

The rubber manufacturing industry
in Japan has developed greatly within
the past year in the scope and variety
Of its products. In the export trade.
too. lis Importance is increasing. The
growth of the industry may be seen
from the steady increase In the Inn
port of crude rubber. The Official trade
returns state that the import in 1917
totaled 9,6S9,6S2 yen over the figure
for 1915. Formerly most of the auto
mobile tires used in Japan were inn
ported into that country. but now the
greater part of Japan's needs are sup
piled by domestic manufacturers. The
export of automobile tires has also
begun with the development Of rubber
plants In Japan.
