RETURNED SOLDIERS
 OF IRELAND OBJECT
 TO GERMAN MUSICIAN

DUBLIN, July g Correspondence of Associated Press) The returned Irish soldiers are organizing them selves and asserting their right to be heard. Tn Cork it was proposed by the local municipal music committee Irish music German musician. There Irish music a German musicion There was no personal objection to the pro- 1 lessor except that he was a German, but the soldiers would not have it. Four hundred of them turned out in a body and prevented the appointment. The secretary, defending their conduct in the press, writes:
 We are faced with a grave trouble in the people who yesterday were badly misled by hopes of German vic tories and who have now taken a def mite stand against us. Without friends on any side, and left to our own re- sources, we find that in our own coun- try we are not wanted and insulted Only recently a member of the Cork board of guardians proposed that no demobilized soldier or sailor get em- ployment from that board. The Gaelic Players have seen fit to ban us from their games. These and many similar incidents are not likely to improve our temper.
 "TO understand the feelings of our men, these people should have a heart to heart talk with some of their coun- trymen who spent three or four years in German prison camps. This is not time to set Irishmen flying at each others throats over job for a Ger man professor"
 The attitude assumed by Ramon De Valera, president of the Irish repub- lic," toward the returned Irish sol dier, has not been one of hostility He gave them credit for fighting for what they believed to be the right cause and the one they thought most likely to serve Irish freedom.

F. w. Woolworth.

F. W. Woolworth's life emphasizes once
more the Importance of looking after the little
things. Beginning business with $50 he died
rich and famous, after a manner of speaking.
The company of which he was head was CAPT
talized at $65OO0,000 and 50,000s000 people can
now close their eyes and see his name, with
initials and correctly spelled, emblazoned in
gold raised letters on a flaming red background
What other in this or any other country
is there of whom this may be said?
And yet Mr.. Woolworth did not attain wealth
and popularity simply because he gave atten-
ton to trif1es. Many another man OF his time
dealt in the same wares he sold. His distinc-
ton lay in his vision, his anticipation of the
tastes and demands of the people next year
and in the years to follow, and his capacity
for thinking and acting in large terms. His
trifes were handled in quantities. with quick
turnover and small profit, and the system he
devised enabled him to undersel competitors
and yet to make good return. Attaining his
own ends with unusual success, at the same
time he performed real public service

Reliable News and the Other Kind.

1t is to be regretted that the Chicago Her
ald-Examiner has departed so far from the
Standards of the old reliable Herald and adopt
ed so completely the characteristics of the
Hearst publications.
One day this week we read about King AL
bert Of Belgium being lost-not killed, for OBJ
vious reasons-but merely lost in an airplane
Fight. 1t was typical Hearst story, with pos
sibly a shadow of truth in it, but with the
main features drawn from somebody's imag-
nation and featured on the first page to catch
the eye of the unwary patron of the street
news stands
The average newspaper tries to give its
readers the truth and takes pride in its repu-
lation for accuracy, as well as for enterprise
But when a publication like the Herald
Examiner comes out with lurid yarn in which
facts are so plainly subordinated to sensation
and loses confidence not only in the offending
publication but to a certain extent in others
which aim to be conservative and truthful.
To good many people a newspaper is a news
paper and a press dispatch is a press dispatch.
They do not make the fine determinations that
characterize their judgment of the reliability
of individuals.
So every newspaper which tries to protect
it's readers from impositions upon their cred
ulity has real grievance against those which
are not so scrupulous. It feels that the family
reputation of the press is involved and stain

TIHI1E DAILY SHORT STORY

dron a trifle breathlessIy, I've hur-
ried after you to give you sure tip.
You got me my place and l want to
try and do something for you.
There's big deal going on with the
Aetna Coal company. My sister
works there and she says there's
going to be a merger, and they're
buying in all the stock they can get
at any price asked"
Thank you, Ned" replied Drake.
THAT may be worth something to
me-"
Drake was a young business man,
but profoundly expert in brokerage
tactics When he got back to the Of
fee he looked up the list of the
stockholders of the Aetna Coal COM
pany Outside of officers and direct
ors in control he found only about
half a dozen scattered holders CT
the securities of the company. One
of these, phoned or wired to, all but
one replied that they had recently
sold their stock. From John Baird,
listed as holding two shares, brief
letter announced that the same had
been transferred and were in the
possession of Miss Elsa Norris,
Yorkton.
Then Ned came to Drake with
some decidedly important informa-
ton. 1t was to the effect that each
of the rival factions in the Aetna
Coal company was straining every
nerve to secure a majority of the
stock. Drake Investigated for him
self. He lost no time after that in
getting down to Yorkton. He never
forgot the twelve hours he spent
there; he never ceased after that to

Fattening Up With Fat.

What kind of food may be ex-
pected to produce the most rapid
accumulation of fat in the body?
There is a general belief that the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES is, the starchy
vegetables and cereals and the nat.
ural sugars-are the most fatten-
ing foods. This belief is probably
founded upon the we'll known
methods of fattening fowls and an
imals for the market. But an ex-
pert in the subject of human nutri-
tion thinks differently about it.
Says Carl Won Noorden:
THE most favorable substance
is fat. This requires but little ex-
penditure of force on the part of
the digestive organs and is depos-
tied as fat with almost no loss of
energy. Practical medicine still
hesitates to make effective use of
fet as a fattening medium, and
generally gives preference to the
carbohydrates. l have often point
ed out that this should be abandon
ed, and that large, even enormous
amounts of fat (neglecting here
certain pathological - diseased
states of the stomach and intes-
tinesl are eXceilentiy borne, and
bring about results which can
scarcely be equalled, not to say
surpassed, by extra administra-
ton of carbohydrates"
If a man weighing $50 pounds
lives on a diet which supplies $500
calories day, he may expect to
increase his weight 30 pounds in
the course of a year by the addi-
ton of 200 calories to the daily ra-
ton. This represents a compare
lively small amount of food, espe-
cially when the additional food is
in the form OF fats. For instance,
two ordinary pats or balls of but
ter, or one-half glassful of cream,
