OF GRAVES AND STARVATION
Lieut.. Col. Harris of u. S. Medical Corps
i Says Innocent Children Should Have
/. Relief From HUNGER.

, a great increase in skin diseases and
this is undoubtedly caused by the
| lack of nutrition and also the lack
| of soap, which during the war has
made it impossible for the Germans
| to keep as clean as they should
| II have been informed that more
than a million people in Germany
! kave died because of the lack of prop
| er food-not from starvation alone,
/ but a person in the lower state of vi
! tality falls an easy victim to tuber-
! culosis. pneumonia and many other
| diseases.
| Leaving Germany and crossing into
| Belgium, the difference in the appear
ance of the people was quite marked
/ The children of Belgium were rosy
| checked and seemed to have plenty OF
vitality and life, while the German
| soldiers were pale and listless.
| Though Col. Harris voices no sym
! pathy for those who brought on the
war. including the women who sup
ported and encouraged the German
| devils in trying to overrun France
! and conquer the world" he does be-
| lieve that the world should take some
| steps to feed the German children.
! My sympathies go out to the inno-
cent children who had no part in the
/ war, but are starving and who, II
| not given more food soon, viii die
/ or become defective and dependents
| that will make the next generation of
| Germans worse than the Huns of
/ today. Hungry men and women do not
make good neighbors. Already many
| of the people express fears that If
I the people are not given food they
J will have TO endure the terrors of
| bolshevism as Russia has done"
Another More Far-Reaching Peril.
Though pointing out the dangers of
a hungry Germany, Col. Harris also
points out more immediate and far
reaching danger unless the peoples
of the occupied areas are not fed
the danger to the allied soldiers scat
tered through the neutralized zones
of Rhineland.

for the protection of the troops, meas

OF tuberculosis among the people in

losis is malnutrition and the most i'm
portant measure for preventing it is
proper nourishment incidental to

Pluck and Resource.

Colonel Roosevelt never wearied
of telling the story of Littledale-a
story il Illustration of res Jurceful-
ness and pluck. He would begin:
During some amateur theatricals
in my early youth, Littledaie, one
of the performers, had to leap into
a FLYER in order to escape from a
wild beast. -
"The stage was so arranged tha;
the river was invisible. Lirtledale
was to leap and disappear strik
ins a soft mattress in the wings.
and at the same time rock was
to be dropped in tub of water to
create splash.
But, though the leap worked all
right in rehearsal. on the night OF
the actual performance il went
wrong. Neither mattress nor tub
was in place. When poor Little
dale jumped he fell 10 feet and
landed on an oak floor with crash
loud enough to wake the dead, and
there was no splashing water to
drown the crash, by Jove!
"The audience, expecting 10 hear
a splash, and hearing instead the
thunderous impact of Littledale's
bones on the oak, set up laugh
but the heroic Littledale, equal to
the occasion, silenced them.

SOY Bean MILK
IS new CHINESE
DEL|CACY HERE
Grinnell College Student Turns
Out Good Food From
Bean Intended for
Stock.

Grinnel, April lo.-"Soy bean
milk" a Chinese delicacy, was in
troduced to an astonished group of
science students at Grinnell college
by one of the Chinese enrolled here,
Mr.. Hi Men Yang. Mr.. Yang has
been carrying on research work on
food plants in the botanical labora-
tories for some time, and has made
some interesting discoveries about
some of our more familiar food
products, but it is his work with the
soy bean that has been causing
most interest.
The soy bean, which has been in
reduced into this country by the
Department of Agriculture. is COM
ng into popular use as stock>food
md as an enricher OF arid and i'm
poverished soils. However, in
China, the native land of the bean,
has been used for centuries as
staple article in human diet, taking
much the same important place in
northern China that rice holds in
he south. 1t contains a high per-
:entage Of oil, which western beans
ack, in addition to nearly twice as
much protein as the familiar navy
bean. There are over 800 varieties Of
the bean cultivated in China, and
,cores of recipes for its prepara-
ion.
Among the many soy bean foods
he. SOY bean milk" as prepared by
Mr.. Yang is one of the most inter
ssting. The beans are put through
process of grinding, soaking in
water. straning and filtering, until
in emulsion is formed of part of the
,ils and proteins in which they are
particularly rich. The emulsion is
hen boiled, .and the milk" is ready
or use.
Mr.. Yang states that he has not
yet succeeded in getting rid of a
bcany" taste in his product when it
5 cold; but those who have tried it
served hot claim that it cannot be
distinguished from boiled milk. Its
III mical composition approximates

Paris calls tailored suit and which
her women have worn without apology

through that phase OF dressing last

skirts off twelve inches above the IN

however, to cover the leg between the
ankle and the hem of the skirt, and
this helped matters some. The French
