FOOD FOR WINTER.

Before the winter ends many people
will develop mild disorders, the result
of sticking too closely to a diet. that
is overrich in meat and bread and too
poor in some of the accessory foods
so accessible and so popular at other
seasons. Some Of these people will
suffer from vague pains in some meas
ure akin to beriberi, some will have
bleeding or soft gums in some meas
ure akin to scurvy, some will develop
roughness of the skin, while many will
have no disorder excent constipation.
Fitch's D~ietotherapy says that the
following foods are rich in the sub
stances which prevent beriberi: Brew
er's yeast (and bakers yeast also).

fresh meat, fish. beans, peas, oats. bar
ley, wheat, corn and other cereals. I'm

mild form Is liable to develop.
If q person sticks strictly to a diet
limited to the following he will prop

mines from the destruction visited on
those of France. according to a cable
gram from Mr.. Hoover describing the
country as it stands today. Prior to the

extending clear across the country. with
it's railroads and canals, had been de-
stroyed. but little had been destroyed
afterward. The Belgian is
rapidly taking hold Of affairs, and manu-
facturers are engaged in the %rehabilita-
ton of their works so far as materials
are available. On this report the food
administration has engaged to send 10000
tons of supplies. including clothing, to
Belgium monthly, and application for
necessary tonnage has been made to the

The manufacture of a new explosive
known as sengite. to meet the growing

This new explosive, which has a gun
cotton base. is the result OF experiments
conducted by Kynoch. Ltd. at their

plosive is said to be so insensitive to
shock as to be quite safe IL m
with a steel tool. Accidental explosions
In mining caused by drilling into unfired
holes would not occur when this explo-
sive was used.
The name sengite originated with III
manufacturers. The first four letters
were derived by using the initial letters
in the following words: Substitute ex-
plosive. no glycerin.' The last three
letters are taken from the word "dyna.

THE TEST OF A MAN.

The test is to be in peace what

you fitted for the fight? The man
who knew how knowledge could
be converted into power was the
man for whom there was unlim-
tied call. So it is increasingly to
De. To be useful is TO be the test
that society will put. Each mans
rights are to be measured, not by
what he has. but by what he does
with what he has. The honors-
the Croix de Paix-the richest
rewards will go to the capables,
those who are not standardized
INTO men machines" those who
dare to venture and learn to lead.
But all must work. and this duty
10 work and respect for work
should be the earliest lesson
learned. And it should be taught
IN n school, not as a homily, but
in a living way. by tying work
with instruction, making the thing
learned to apply to something
done. | should like TO see the day
when every child learned a trade
while at school, trained his mind
and hand together. lifted labor into
art by the application Of thought.
To be useful is the essence OF
A~mericanism. and against the UNI
developed resource, whether it be
land or man. the spirit of this
country makes protest.
