nally all booty taken from the enemy
In war pertained TO the crown of the
victorious nation, the title thereto be-
ing regarded as indisputabIe. The
crown was supposed To dispose Of
these spnIlS of war according 10 its
pleasure, bearing In mind the services
of the captors of the matter. This
was, indeed. the basis Of prize law at

to restrict cOnfiscatlOn to the national

GOOD HEALTH RULES FOR ALL
English People Have Many Ideas

Not only does this food contain large
percentage of protein, but II also con

combined with bread. which Is Carbo.

combination, supplying rs it does all
the clements necessary for nour.Sh.
mcnt-protcin. fat, carbohydrate and
mineral salts.
Cheese and bread Is very norulnr
form of food in England and it is
eaten by all classes. Being an eco.
nomical food. 1t is eaten to n larger
extent by the laboriGg classes, who,
owing to the sort of work they do. re-
quire a good tissue builder at a mod
crate price.
Ii 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 very good
thing for us to profit by this and cul-
1vate at all times, in ourselves and in
our children, the habit Of getting out
doors as much as possible.
