Challenge of Government.

LONDON, March 19.-Winston Spen-
Ger. Churchill. the war secretary, to-
day added fuel to the political con-
Premier Lloyd George that the coali-
tion 1ibersl and unionists unite into

extremists.
In an article in the Evening News
Mr.. Churchill reiterates the premier's
call of yesterday, and characterizes
the so-called socialist party as the
most dark and formidable menace
with which British civilization is con-
fronted.
In the meantime, Andrew Bonar
Law. the government leader, is max
ing speech also upholding the coali-
tion. Labor has been quick to accept
the challenge. and labor statements
today indicate that the laborites are
prepared to fight to the bitter finish
to determine which party shall hold
power in the government.

A Mountain Tragedy.

Occasionally there are tragedies
in the lives of bears just as in the lives
of human beings, Mr.. Enos A. Mills
writes in his new book, The Grizzly
and he goes on to tell of an appealing
incident in which a pair of cubs whose
mother had been shot by hunter were
the heroes. The little bears were dis
covered peeping from beneath large
rock short distance from where
the slain animal lay, and after hesitat-
ing for moment they came out and
stood looking intently toward the men
and their dead mother.
AS the men did not move, they took
a few steps toward them. Hesitating
again, they stopped, rose up and look
ed round, and then hastily retreated
to the rocks. Evidently their mother
had trained them to stay wherever she
left them until she returned, but they
had waited long time.
For a while they stood and whimper-
cd very much like hungry, forsaken
children. They could scent their mo-
Their, and see her, too, and they were
hungry and lonesome. Again they
started slowly toward the men, walk
ing closely side by side. When very
near, they paused, rose on their hind
legs, and looked in wonder and long
ing al their lfeless mother. Then
they went TO her. One little cub sniff
fled in bewildered, puzzled way ovei
her cold, still body. He gently strokcd
her fur with his paw and then sat
down and began to whimper and cry.
The other cub looked with awe into
his mothers motionless face, but :;

How Many Meals a Day?

The theory is advanced from time
TO time that one or two meals a day
woeld be preferable to the three
commonly served in this country. II
the same amount of food is to be eat
en-, United States Department of Ag-
riculture food specialists state that it
is hard to see the advantage of two
very hearty meals over three ordinary
ones.
The best physiological evidence i'm
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 long intervals. If the food
ordinarily eaten is considered exces-
sivc and the aim is simply to reduce
the amount, it would seem more ra-
tional TO make all the meals lighter
than to omit one. The very fact that
the custom of eating number o!
meals a day has so long been almos,
universal, indicates that it must have
some advantages which instinct, based
upon experience, approves and justi-
ies.
