"The starchy foods, such as cakes,
pies, hominy, hot cakes, biscuits, bread
and potatoes should never make up
more than 30 per cent of the menu,
and should be much less, if possible.
People should eat lettuce, cabbage,
spinach, carrots, turnips, onions, ap-
pies, pears, oranges, grapefruit and
other fruit and vegetables.
Stirring beans contain about the
right proportion of foods and we should
eat all we car get of them. The peo-
pie now eat a half-pound of meat a
day per capita, which is just 100 per
cent too much. Sugar Is a luxury that
could be entirely eliminated with no
bad effects. The best rule to follow
is a mixed diet, with emphasis, espe-

German Liners
Are Marked

The four most aggravated cases
which are being considered involve
three American vessels and the I'm
perator, which is flying the flag of the
Cunard line since she was turned over
to England by the United States. The
United States ships are George Wash
ington, on which President Wilson
Travelled to and from the peace con
ference, and the cargo carriers Moe
casin and Callao.
Attempts to Damage Ships.
The Imperator, while on a trip to
Europe early in March, developed a
mysterious list while at sea, which her
officers and crew were unable to rem
edy. It is held to have been caused
by a deliberate attempt to disable the
giant liner.
The MOccasin turned turtle in the
Erie basin several months ago. When
divers investigated they found her sea-
cocks had been opened and so tam.
pered with that it was impossible to
close them. Several bombs were found
on the George Washington several
weeks ago just before she was sched-
uled to sail for Europe. The Callao,

ton as the result Of deliberate tamper

CHILDREN to the number of $780,

United States school garden army.
With the new year the problems that
confront educators are to increase this
army, to make the garden work more
permanent and to increase its educa-
tional value. The motto of the garden
army-"A Garden for Every Child,

realized when gardening becomes a
definite part of school work.

Washington.-The high cost of food

undermining the health Of thousands

This is the deduction made by scien-
lists connected with the government,
whose job is to figure out just what
kinds of foods are necessary to sus-
tain the human body.
The reason for the II. G. L. casualty
list Is that the most expensive foods
are the ones most necessary to good
health. Economical shoppers select
the cheaper food and thereby deprive
themselves and their families of life
sustaining elements.
The disease that develops is called
acidosis. 1t is not a new disease, but
its prevalence in America has devel-
oped in the last five years. The word
"acidosis" is so new that it hasn't got
into the dictionary.
The disease Is more prevalent among
children. 1t was the malady that kill

those reporting to the agricultural de-
partment are Seattle, Milwaukee and
Green Bay, Wis, where the price is II
cents a quart to family trade. Salt
Lake City has a price of 1914 cents a
quart.
Every other city of the 81 reporting
has prices above IL cents.
In 1914 the average price per quart
of milk was only s cents. By 1918 it
had risen to an average of IA cents;
now it is neal 16 cents. This repre-
sents an increase of nearly 100 per
cent.
That the farmer is not profiteering
is indicated by the fact that the costs
of all foodstuffs and other elements en-
tering into the production of milk have
risen more than the milk price.
Out of 25 principal cities in the
United States the farmer fares worst
and the distributing company best in
Omaha, Neb., where ST. per cent of
the price of a quart of milk goes to the
company and 42.S per cent to the

Marshalls adopted him, but he was un-
d~ernourished before he fell into such
fortunate hands and several years of
proper feeding failed to restore his
health.
BREAD and other starchy foods are
the cheapest" said DR.. Carl Voegtlin,
professor of pharmacology, government
hygienic laboratory. "For this reason
they are consumed more extensively.
They are the foods that, used to ex-
cess, bring on acidosis."
The principal symptom of acidosis
is abnormality in breathing. The res
piration is more difficult because the
lungs are trying to eliminate the ex-
S Of poison.
What is the preventive or remedy
for acidosis?
Sometimes doctors give bicarbonate
Of soda or magnesia-alkalines that
neutralize the acids-to prevent aci-
dosis after operations, after ether an
esthesia or relieving established aci-
dosis or diabetes.
Proper Diet Needed.
But to keep from getting acidosis
there is a better way. The necessary
alkalines can be taken into the body
in a mixed diet, containing green vege-
tables, fruits and milk.
"One cannot emphasize too much
the value of milk, fresh vegetables
and fruits" declared Doctor Voegtlin.
From these foods gets sodium and
potassium carbonates and other in
organic salts that are absolutely neces-
sary in neutralizing the acids If one
is to keep well. The juices contain
the alkalines the body needs. We

i the United States 15.9 cents a quart
for milk. This is the figure based on
returns for April of 81 Of the principal
cities of the United States in every
state in the Union, compiled by the
department of agriculture.
For the milk which costs the house
wife 16 cents approximately the
farmers of the United States get from
4 cents up to Is cents--an average of
81 cents.
Thus, of every dollar spent for milk
in the United States, the dairy farmer
gets only so cents. The other so cents
covers the costs which come between
farmer and consumer-freight, distri-
button and profits of the middleman.
The range of prices in April to the
farmer who produces milk varied
throughout the United States.
In New England the farmer got from
6 to 10 cents a quart; in the east north
central states they got from 5 to s
cents; in the west north central states
from 8 to S cents; in the south Allan
tic states from 7 to 10 cents; in the
east south central region from 6 to s
cents; in the west south central states
from 6 to II cents; in the mountain
states from 6 to 9 cents, and in the
