ing the teachers away from the schools
to be clerks and day laborers.
Only people too stupid to be clerks
and day laborers are now offering them
selves to be school teachers, and not
very many Of those.
The children whom we can crowd into
our two room apartments and feed upon
what Mr.. Palmer, with his flying
squadrons, can save us of elusive dollars
are going to have little or snly bad in
struction.
What to do?
Mr.. Palmer's hands are full!
The New York Legislatures hands
are full!
All, there is General Wood!
Let him write piece about 1t in his
page in the Metropolitan Magazine.
He does.
He says teachers should be we'll paid.
The best, in the way of instruction,
Is none too good for the young.
The safety of the nation depends upon
three RS.
The lives of devotion led by-but why
60 on?
Another problem is solved!
We feel easier in our minds now that
some one has said that one of the first
duties of a democracy is to pay its
teachers well.
Life is not so difficult after all.
But what would it be without our
Attorney General Palmers, our New
York Legislatures and our General
Woods?

nID beer save the Briton?" asks a
- headline over special article in a
newspaper.
The argument of the writer is that
the British lived for generations on a
poor diet, yet lived.
How?
Why, by. reason of the vitamipes In
their beer, is the triumphant reply.
| The trouble with this theory is that
the special report of the accessory food
factors committee (English), the au-
thority on vitamines, says there are no
vitamines in beer
Careful tests were made and none was
found.
Says the report: "Botted ale and
stout and beer as bought on the
market are lacking in both the anti
neuritic. and anti scorbutic accessory
factors"
That is, it cures neither scurvy nor
beriberi.
The vitamine is trying to get into our
national campaign, which might become
as issue, not of wet and dry, but of
vitamine and anti vitamine.
If the Anti Saloon League is wise It
will procure the special report and con =
found those who wish to give any other
reason for beer than that they like it.
Those who like it will vote for It,
vitamines or no vitamines, and whether
1t saved the Briton or not.

IWTHAT are these vitamines which are
w trying to get into the campaign and
into common speech? They are the
latest proof that your stomach was right
when it rejected the chemists conclu
sions that all you needed were "calories' u
of food, and it did not make much diff
ference in what form they were offered.
J Your stomach was right and the
chemists were wrong.
, Your stomach liked butter, and did
not like butter substitutes.
Both were grease. But butter Is rich
in vitamines and butter substitutes are
not.
You liked fresh food better than pre-
served food
And you were right.
Fresh food has the vitamines pre-.
served food generally has not.
You liked well cooked food and gen
, orally were right, for in food properly
prepared the vitamines survive.
When it Is Cooked to death" Itht
vitamines are destroyed.
! If you eat food without one vitamin,
you get scurvy.
II without another, you get beriberi.
