PEOPLE HAVE WASTED FOOD
Specialist Makes Some Interesting
Comments on Misunderstanding
Which He Says Is Widespread.

The birth rate of the former empire
of Austria-HunGary fell so per cent
during the war DIR. Clemens Won Pr
quet, specialist on diseases of chill
iren. said in discussing results of the
war from the standpoint of food.
1.-THE poor quality of the food" he
added. "cut the total weight of the
population one-third. 1t is common
to find that the weight of an average
man has reduced from 40 to 100
pounds. 1t Is doubtful If such per
son will ever fully recover.
"The food of the wealthy classes
was not nourishing. The quantity
was sufficient, but 1t was lacking In
quality. The big mistake of the en-
tire world has been to waste food by
misunderstanding the values.
"How the child population has been
affected is shown by the fact that out
of $4,000 poor boys and girls under
eight years of age applying to the
clinics In Vienna, who lost an aver.
age of ten pounds in weight. there
were only $500 who were suffering
from malnutrition.
1.-THE, ration provided by the food
cards permits the population to get
but one-third of the necessary nutri-
lion. Only the rich have been able to
buy.
During the war all diseases have
increased, especially the lung dis
eases, which resemble plague. The
regularity of the epidemic of grippe
in Vienna has been that 1t has car
ried off young people between twenty
and thirty years of age, especially
young women about to become moth
ers or those with small children"

CAPTAIN Rene Fonck,s Record.

The highest official score for bring
ing down Hun flyers, according to Fly
ing, goes to Captain Rene Fonck of
the French army. Before the armis-

tually he brought down over 100. On
two different occasions he brought
down six machines in few minutes.

MuItiplies Capacity of Phone Wires.

An achievement more extraordinary
by far than making two blades Of
grass grow where one grew before, is
the sending for five telephone CONVEX
sations simultaneously over one pair
of wires where but one conversation
could travel before, says Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. The new invention
also makes it possible to send 40 tele-
graph messages, simultaneously over
one pair of wires, or they can be used
in part for telephoning and in part
for telegraphing. Ten conversations
can be carried on over two pairs of
wires which formerly could be used
for a maximum of three conversations
by means of the so-called phantom
circuit" Tests covering several weeks
have been made of the system on
Baltimore-Pittsburg line and have
been pronounced successful In every
way.

of high official who is in close touch

Despite the ingenuity being displayed
in finding peace uses for these plants,
there are some establishments which
are not adaptable to such conversion.

passed from the country newspaper
office into ordinary speech: you can't
run nonpareil newspaper in q bour-

Is used in its typographical sense (and
pronounced "burjolce"), is synony-
nous with rusticity and lack of enter

social sense, Simplifying a trading mid
die class, the average American has
never had any use at all, because he
had never been aware of any such d.
vision or classification of the popula-
ton. If he knows the word at all 1t
Is only through his reading of Euro
pcan books or papers. In its con-
tinental European meaning 1t is en-
tirely strange to our own usage.
But 1t is now made familiar through
the attacks of bolsheviki and Sparta
Gus people upon all the elements of
society except their own. Another
word, in their hostile and hating sense,
Is flagrantly misused. In strictness,
the term means the trading middle
class citizen. Anciently, it included
artisans as well if they dwelt in cities
and lived in comfortable houses. The
word distinguishes certain people from
royalties, from the nobility, the gentry
or Mt least the upper gentry-on the
one hand, and from country people
and poor town labOrers on the other.
1t is the same as "burgher" or citizen,
and Shakespeare used "citiZen" In ex-
