CARLOADS OF MAIL
NOT DELIVERED TO
TROOPS IN FRANCE;

Washington. Jan. II. From
eight to ten carloads of mail for
American soldiers are undelivered
in France. Second Assistant Post
master General Praeger told the
senate postoffice committee today
and thousands and probably mil
lions" of letters addressed to the
men overseas will arrive in New
York in a few days, to be sent to
the dead letter office. where an at
tempt will be made to return them
to the writer's.
Blame for the failure to deliver
this mail was placed on the war de-
partment by Mr.. Praeger. who again
explained that the army authorities
handle all soldiers mail in France
the postoffice department deliver
ing outgoing mail at Hoboken and
receiving returning mail at the
French ports.
Mr.. Praeger said one way to i'm
prove conditions overseas would be
to send a force of experienced mail
clerks TO France to deliver the mail
to the soldiers.
Members of the committee sought
to ascertain whether there was any
delay at French ports in handling
mail coming to this country.
The trouble does not lie at the
ports" declared Mr.. Praeger. at
lies in the interior. The mail gets
tied up somewhere between army
headquarters, censors and the
ports"
Mr.. Praeger told the committee
that one reason for the confusion
in the delivery of mail to soldiers
was the failure of the war depart
ment to keep up its index system.
This same cause, he declared, also
was responsible for the depart
ment's delay in sending out allot-
ments to soldiers and in reporting
casualties.
Another source of delay In de-
iivering mail promptly. he added.
was the transferring of units of
troops from one port TO another.
but he said this should cause only q
few days delay as the mail could
readily be forwarded to the moving
troops,

now established beyond all reasonable

not one but great many glacial

which proves that the latest or Pleis

Great ice sheets were formed at diff.

Eggs, Milk and Vegetables
Are Essential to Growth

Eggs, milk and the leafy vegetables,
according to II. L. Kempster of the
University of Missouri college of agri-
culture, contain substances known as
vitamines, which are essential to
growth. They are called the protec-
tive foods because they correct the
faulty composition of seeds and tu-
bers. Young animals fed on wheat,
oats. barley, or other seeds fail to
grow. The ration Is inadequate, even
II the feed includes beans, peas and
potatoes. and even IL moderate
amounts Of leafy vegetables are also
fed. Egg yolk contains about 33 per
cent fat. Like butterfat, 1t contains
growth-producing substances which
are absolutely essential These
growth-producing substances are not
found In vegetable fats or oils In beef
or pork fats. Some protective foods
are necessary II the health is to be
maintained. Eggs should, therefore
become one of the regular articles of
diet. The price should be minor
consideration. Eat an egg day. They
promote growth aud increase your
ability to withstand disease.

Animals Display Great
intelligence When IN or
Hurt-Treat Themselves

Few people realize, notes writer in
the Christian Herald, how many ami
mails are constantly getting hurt and
sick. The wild animals seldom get
sick from what they eat, but the do
nestle animals frequently do. Wild
animals get injured from fighting with
other animals Of their kind or in fights
with animal enemies. In all cases,
animals have a way of doctoring them.
selves that Is remarkable.
Animals suffering from fever eat
nothing, keep quiet, seek darkness
and airy places, drink much water
and sometimes plunge into the water
from time to time. When a dog has
lost its appetite it eats that species Of
grass known as "dog's grass" Cats
also eat grass, catnip. etc., when sick.
Sheep and cows in the same circum-
stances seek out certain wild plants.
II an ants foot is cut, other ants
will cover the wounded part with a
transparent fluid from their mouths.
II a chimpanzee is wounded it stops
the flow Of blood by placing its hand
on the wound or dressing it with
leaves and grass.
A terrier had an injured eye. 1t re-
NAMED lying under a counter, avoid
ing heat and light, although 1t had
been its habit to keep close to the fire.,
It adopted the general treatment
rest and abstinence from food. The
local treatment consisted In licking
the upper surface of its paw, which it
then applied to the wounded eye,
again licking the paw when it became
dry. Cats, when hurt, also treat
themselves by this simple method.
The methods adopted by most of the
wild animals for doctoring them
selves are unknown to man, but there
is no doubt that every animal has the
ability to skilfully doctor itself.
