THE FOOD WE EAT
By H. AddingtOn Bruce

TOR long 1 have been seeking a really
T good diet to recommend to the many
1nquirers alert to the Importance of
eating for health. At last have found one
IN the recently published 1.-The American
Home Diet" by Professor e. " McCollum
and Miss Nina Simmonds, co-wokers in the
school of Hygiene and Public Health of
| Johns Hopkins University
| Most diet books err either through dad
dlshness'' in their choice of foods or through
oVeremphass Of dietary technicalities. Busy
housewives, however conscientious, have lit
Tie use Tor, and are little helped by, elabo~
I rate mathematical tables of food values.
Nor can they grow enthusiastic over diet
DOCK that would rlgidly limit the family pro-
Vlslonlng to narrow selection, or that would
urge FOODS requiring unusual time and labor
for their preparation.
The ACCOMPLISHMENTS book avoids these
faults. 1t makes point Of trying to simplify
kitchen problems, while at the same time
giving all the really necessary information a
woman should have to enable her to arrange
menus at once nutritious and satisfying to
the appetite.
Indeed, Professor McCollum and Miss
S1mmonds have SO much at heart the easing
of the housewives burden as to offer menus
OF their own for the entire year. Though
to be sure, it must be said that in so doing
they have laid themselves open to some criti-
cism.
Their menus are most attractive, there can
taken sufficiently into account the present
high cost of living. To adhere closely to the
menus they offer would be beyond the means
Of most people.
Still close adherence is not imperatively
needed. What is NEEDED is appreciation of
the Importance of combining foods scientific
cally so that proper supply of all vital food
elements shall be secured. In this respect
the McCollum-Simm onds all-the-year-round
menus are most suggestively helpful.
That is to say, they supplement concretely
the general knowledge to be gained from the
test of the book tself-a general knowledge
happily conveyed in the simplest Of language
and including all essential points in dietary
teaching.
In addition, particular attention is paid
to the feeding Of children and to the proper
handling of food for children. This is fea-
ture of the book that cannot be too highly
praised.
Every year hundreds of thousands of little
ones perish from malnutrition and from food
poisoning. Ignorance, more than anything
else, is responsible for their deaths. Pro-
lessor McCollum and Miss Simmonds, accord
ingly, would enlighten mothers on matters
regarding which many sadly need enlighten-
ment.
All mothers, so far that goes, will find
in their pages much which every mother
should keep constantly in mind. Though
only 1t is addressed to every woman keep
ing house
And I heartily wish it might be in the
hands of every housekeeping woman. know

ness. During that time, moreover, we have
been meeting a good deal Of revived and
vigorous competition in other markets, no
tably in Latin America. While the war was
in progress and Immediately afterward, we
had no rivalry in that region. For commodi-
ties and credits alike South American in
terests which formerly looked to Europe
were turned of necessity to the United
States. The result, of course, was an I'M
precedented growth Of our commercial deal
ings with them. But the significant and
assuring fact is that after Europe's return
to the field with sturdy and resourceful eff
forts to regain lost business, the United
States still holds her own Competition
will wax keener, it is true, and will be
better equipped in the seasons ahead. Only
by unremitting energy and ever-improving
methods can we maintain our ground in
Latin America elsewhere.
We have the advantage, however, of
substantial merchant marine, which we
sorely lacked. before the war, and of great
ly widened banking facilities as we'll. 1t
may be expected, therefore, that the
strength Of the countrys present position
in world commerce, which her prosper
ity so vitality depends, will be conserved
and increased if Americans but develop
their opportunities.

MOTHER
By DR.. Frank Crane

Dy LII. oldllC
It has been written about, and told, and
sung, and acted, and preached, and related
in stories, and rhymed in poetry, all over
and over again, until you'd think the world
was weary of it, but it isn't.
I refer to the Mother theme.
For Mother is not only the Oldest it is
also the newest word in the language.
It strikes a little deeper note in the heart
of men than even Wife.
The woman who bore him lies just bit
closer alongside mans everlasting soul
than any other man or woman can creep.
It's Nature.
It's the cryptic cogency Of instinct.
1t is the unanswerable argument Of blood.
For any other person can let you go, if
you are bad enough, but your mother can
not let you go.
She stands by.
You may flout her and forget her, outrage
and mistreat her, but deep in her soul you
can never be anything else put her oapy.
She never forgets you as that wonderful
little life that grew in her body, and lay on
her breast, helpless in her arms.
We can forget her, and do, those who have
done us favor, but we cannot forget those
who have called out our fiercest fires Of love
and sacrifice.
There is a story-I heard told the other
night-I think it is an old one, and has been
done into song, but old or new, sung or un-
sung it's piercing story of tragic beauty.
It is of a man who had become infatuated
with an evil woman who was very comely
So great was her beauty that the man w.
mad over her. And he swore to her in the
excess of his passion that for her there Was
nothing in the world he would not do.
Then the evil-hearted woman smiled, in
her lust for power, and proposed a horrid
test so that her pride might be stated by
the knowledge that she could make a man
do anything.
eff you love me so much" she said
tprove it, by bringing to me your mothers
heart.
So the man, insane from heat of his in
fatuation, slew his mother, and cutting out
her heart ran with it to the evil woman.
And as he was running, and carrying the
heart of his mother in his two hands, it hap
pened that he stumbled and fell.
And as Nhe fell the heart cried out ant
said:
"Have you hurt yourself, my boy!"

Curtis Barrett
.HE heart of patriotic Georgia spoke


in the challenge which Curtis Bar
rett who fought as a private under
the Stars and Stripes in France, flung to a
politicians aspersions upon the officers Of
our overseas army and upon the American
Legion. 1t was at Tom Watson meeting
in GAINESVILLE that this courageous young
Georgian, brother Of President Barrett, Of
the Farmers Union, raised his dignified but
crushing protest.
A speaker, it seems, had brought sundry
baseless charges against the army command
and had recklessly attacked the character and
motives of the American Legion. Mr.. Bar
rett, himself a Legionaire and a soldier of
nearly two years experience in the fighting
zone, had listened carefully and with heroic
self-control to the stream of defamation
At last he arose, asked if he might have
moment to reply, and having been given
permission, he coolly said
your statement, sir, is wilful and
deliberate Misrepresentation. In war
you would be guilty of treason; in peace
you are guilty of unmistakable cow
ardice"
There was more to the reply; there was
citation of fact; there was argument; there
was appeal to patriotism and honor But
the significant and heart-warming thing is
that young Georgian, without buster OF
rudeness, called a politicians calumnies to
book and completely silenced them. Too
long has the States loyalty been reflected
upon, too long has her tolerance been abused
by few stirrers up of prejudice and dema-
gogy. The entire Commonwealth is indebted
to Curtis Barrett for his bold, timely trumpet
note.

Our Strength IN World Trade

II OREIGN trade figures continue to at
test the strength of Americas COM
mercial position. For the latest fiscal
year, On which reports now are being re-
ceived, merchandise exports from this coun-
try amounted to eight billion, one hum
dred and eleven million, one hundred and
seYenty-six thousand dollars-not far short
of billion more than the export value
of the preceding twelvemonth, and some
three and quarter billions more than that
Of 1916. Imports totaled five billion, two
hundred and thirty-eight million, seven hun
dred and forty-six thousand as against ap-
pfoximately three billion in the 1918-1919
period. Thus the years trade balance in
our favor was little less than three billion
dollars. g..
While it is true that much,sof this vast
volume of exports is attributable to condi-
tions which had their rise in the war and
to that extent were abnormal, nevertheless
it should be remembered that readjustment
and rehabilitation have been going vigor-
ously forward in Europe since the winter
of. 1918, so that the greater portion of our
shipments thither during the last twelve
month represents steady, peace-time bust
