QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Dietctic Data.

1. Is it good habit to drink
hot milk before retiring at night?
2. Is there any objection, to drink
ing milk at a meal when you have
eaten grapefruit, provided you have
felt no ill effects from so doing for
years past? S. Y. H.
Answer. Yes, if you wish. 2.
No. Milk and grapefruit or lemon
or orange are not ordinarily an
appetizing mixture. but if you like
them at the same meal there is no
sound objection. only a plausible
or theoretical objection. made by
self-constituted food specialists
Would matted milk help me gain
% pounds? l am about So pounds
underweight. Could you tell me
how to make matted milk at home?
MRS. c. S.
Answer-Fresh raw milk would
be a great deal better for the pur-
pose. If you will drink pint of
fresh milk every forenoon and an
other pint every afternoon. mid
way between meals. you should
gain the So pounds in year.

Fighting the Enemy at Home
Oenyer Tirues)

The government is regarding the APP
plication of its campaign against dis
ease in each locality in two was: first.
as concerns the tho-oughncss with
which each community adopts the gov
eminent program: secondly. as concerns
results. In other words, cooperation
and an enlightened viewpoint are rated
more highly than mere numerical sue
cess in eliminating undesirab,es. fer
while the latter may be gratifying tem-
porarily, permanent effects can only be
obtained when a community adopts the
federal attitude and clamps the lid down
for all time. Thus the public health
service does not list cities for cleanli-
ness according to number Of underworld
inhabitants. but according to the spirit
and method by which they take up the
fight against commercialized vice.
Not the least among the victories of
the public health service was the doing
away with prudery. The government
attacked the problem Of venereal dis
eases openly and with frankness. 1t IS
continuing this policy in time of peace.
Why not? When the evidence in our
own Police court reveals high school
youths brought in as witnesses against
hardened women of the underworld, and
when the besetting problems of the Ju-
venile court have to do with immature
boys and girls. is there any valid rea-
son for SNUG evasion or stultifying n.y.

Our Navy

The testimony OF Admiral Sims in
navy. 1t may be and probably is
true that the navy wasn't ready
when war was declared. also that it
wasn't properly handled. but the
public is not disposed to Weld its
conviction that this was in no way
the fault of the navy. Indeed Ad-
miral Sims takes occasion to re-
mark tina. he is not insensible 10
the splendid work done by the navy
at large or the various bureaus and
other Offices OF the navy depart
ment" So the navy Is entitled 10
consideration.
The House Naval Affairs commit
tee evidently arrived at this conclu-
sion when it decided TO carry out the
existing program of construction.
All naval powers. with the exception
Of Japan have decided to limit con-
struction to programs previously
made so that in 1924 it is estimated
that our fighting strength will equal
England's. though inferior in point
of numbers. Our project for con-
struction is estimated to involve an
expenditure of s425.290,574.
This estimate is based on the sup
position that competitive construc-
ton will not be begun. The other
powers are not in financial condition
warranting such a course, but may
be forced into 1t unless they may
all agree on a policy of limitation.

Content, to Be Partner in Crime?

(New Republic)
With both sides Of the Senate pro-
testing equal love for China and dis
agreeing only about the proper way
Of showing it, there remains one way
for Congress to help China which
does not require even an inter-
pretative reservation. That is by
making it criminal offence to ship
morphia from this country to Japan,
where il can be trans shipped to
China. 4 recent cable to the New
York Times from Picking tells of the
efforts being made to arouse the
American people to the enormity of
the morphia evil. Yester-
day a stock of opium and morphia
which had been seized. was burned
outside the Temple of Agriculture.
Its value was $4,000. 1; would be
a criminal offence to ship morphia
direct to China. There is no law
against shipment to Japan. In the
first five months Of 1919. twenty five
thousand ounces of morphia reached
the port Of Kobe from American
ports. We do not wish tc share in
robbing China of Shantung. Are we
content. meantime. TO be a partner
in drugging her with morphia?
