Why Three Meals q Day.

The theory Is advanced from time
to time that one or two meals day
are preferable to the three commonly
served in this country. If the same
amount of food is to be eaten it is
hard to see the advantage of two very
hearty meals over three ordinary ones.
The best physiological evidence inn
plies that moderate quantities of food
taken at moderate intervals, are more
easily and completely digested by or
binary people than larger quantities
taken at intervals, re6narks tan ex-
change. II the food ordinarily taken
is considered excessive and the aim
is simply to reduce the amount, It
would seem more rational to make all
the meals lighter than to leave out
one. The very fact that the custom
of eating number of meals day has
so long been almost universal indi-
Gates that it must have some advan-
tages which instinct. based upon ex-
perience. approves and justifies.

SAW HvMoR IN SITUATION
Speaker Might Have Been Bore, but
He Had Tact Enough to Carry
Off His Joke.

A teachers institute was being held
and number of noted speakers had
been engaged for the three-days' ses-
siOns. On the second afternoon, after
morning of round tables and lectures,
q group of us teachers were sitting in
the auditorium of the church i'm which
the meetings were being held, debat-
ing whether to remain for the next lee
ture or not
ooh, let us CO." l exclaimed; "I'm
tired, and I've heard that this man is
just perfect bore, anyway"
A rather insignificant man sat next
to me, who turned his head, and with
a merry twinkle in his eye, said:
"Yes, ladies; know the fellow. and
he is Il bore!' However, we decided to
remain, and the ncighbor continued to
talk to us.
After the meeting had begun, and
the preliminaries We're over, the pres
ident of the association called for the
speaker of the afternoon, and to our
dismay the nice stranger arose, adj
vanced to the platform, and pIefaced
his remarks by telling the incident
which had just occurred, and expressed
the hope that the women might be able
to hear him through. in spite of his
honest Observation-Disclosures.

the usage varying but little, even
though there are few other common
customs because of variation of ideals
and degrees of civilization. Where
flowers are readily obtainable, flowers
a variety of flowers are used, the
choice being dependent ON what the
particular nation regards as most SYM
holic of the renewing life and fruit
fulness of spring.
England, France and America find
their brides. while pink carnations and
red roses deck the brides of Spain.
The bridal wreath in the Ionian isles
Is made from vine leaves. In Germany
the wreaths are of myrtle, though in
the Black forest hawthorn is used,
and in Bohemia rosemary is the ia
vorite. In Pesth ribbon and artificial
flowers are blended in gay mass.
Switzerland makes its bridal wreatlls
of white roses.
A few nations use crowns rather
than wreaths, and the Norwegian,
Swedish and Serbian crowns of silver
are sometimes very handsome and
even beautiful. In Bavaria and Silesia
there may be seen bridal crowns of
fine wire, gold, glass beads and tinse
while in Athens fine filigree work is
used.

One Sense Held In Common.
When the eminent Aristotle evolv,

When the eminent Aristotle evolved
his theory of common sense-a
sense that would bring the other
senses into accord, clearinghouse
for the reports that come in through
herring, seeing and the rest. he made
what was wonderful contribution to
the sages and the ages. He made clear
that there is something in the human
system by which there can be such a
thing as understanding. At least so
he thought, and so have philosophers
thought ever since.

Agricultural society is, we would
say that it is made up of those

business men should run it.

elias people more than the fear
that ther armies would be beat
en- in the field during. the great
war.
The Bolshevists can drive east
and south into the great terri
tories anxious to escape Euro
Turkey, the great oil region of
Baku, Persia, Afganistan, China
and, as England especially fears,
India. The signing of peace treat
les with the Bolsheviki offers no
protection to European rule, be-
cause. peace can not set up bar
riers against the spread of ideas.
That is why England and France
stood for such intervention as
they could afford from the begin
ming. Now instead of the pleas
ure OF carving up Russia they
look on the possibility of seeing
their own territories pared away.
Were their own people at
home in the right mood, Eng
land and France would immedi-
ately declare a major war on the
Bolsheviki. But this is out of the
question for the present. The
one thing left is to stir up the
border states. Poland was made
for this purpose, as was Finland,
Letvia andEsthonia. The allies
will rush in food and arms to the
extent of their capacity to keep
these countries active i'm the
field. Poland attacked the Boil
sheviki as soon as Denekine
started his wild retreat.
This plan of salvation, how
ever, hits another snag. The peo-
pie of these little countries don't
want any more war. Esthonia
has already made peace with the
Bolsheviki. Poland and Finland
might go Bolshevik except for
outside force. So ruling-class Eu-
rope is worried as never before
modern history. The working
classes worry mostly about get
ting enough to eat, for when a
man is hungry he can't think of
much else-not even Of saving
empires or making the world
safe FOR democracy.
Receipt of 144,4SO pounds of
Danish butter at the port of New
York, with the promise of more
to follow, is not favorable news
to our farmers. We ought to be
sending a lot of butter to Europe.
Cold storage people had put by
2l,41S,516 pounds on December
247 pounds on the same date in
1918. But the Danish Shipment
is explained only in part by this
evidence of speculation.
European exchange rates
will fully account for the import.
When these rates first began to-
break our exports fell off. Now
a point is reached where Europe
can afford to send over here
commodities which we normally
would send over in large a.
mounts. In any considerable
length of time trade between ma
lions must be a bartering of
goods. If we do not take Eng
fish woolens and cutlery, French
wines and dress goods, German
dyestuffs and high-grade steel
manufactures, we must take 9TH
er commodities like butter, eggs
and wheat. We can not sell
everything and buy nothing, as
the protectionists preach.
