FRUITS ARE OF IMPORTANCE
Valuable Chiefly Bseause They Sup ply orowth-stlmuiatins and
 Body Regulating Substances.

The uses of fruits in the diet are much the same as those of green vege- tables, though, unlike most vegetables, they have considerable percentage of sugar, especially when they are dried and sugar is a quickly absorbed fuel food. Like vegetables, they have value because they contribute some of the nitrogen required for tissue build ing and repair, and some energy, food specialists of the United States De partment of Agriculture say. How ever, they are valuable chiefly because they supply growth-stimulating and 0odyregulating substances and also mineral matter needed for bone and for many other purposes. The Quan- !ity of these materials in fruits and vegetables is small, 1t Is true, but large In comparison with the amount in many other cOmnyOn foods.

but if that cannot be had it is better to use clean fresh skim milk than dirty or questionable whole milk. A quart of skim milk, even separator skim milk, contains about a third of a cupful of solid food, which is near ly all there was in the whole milk, except the butterfat. In feeding skim milk, however, 1t is necessary to make up for the missing butterfat by giv- ing the child plenty of butter to eat. If it is absolutely impossible to get fresh milk, then condensed, powdered. or evapOrated milk may be used.
 Contains Much Lime.
 Compared with most other foods, milk contains much lime, but very lit- tie iron. Spinach and other green vegetables and egg yolks, on the other hard, are very rich in iron. This is

 If a child is below its proper weight after it reaches the age of twelve, the chances are much against its ever be- coming normal, child specialists say ; yet several million American children some put the number at 5000, ,0OO- are below weight today. Recent sur veys made in different parts of the United States, both in the city and in the country. disclose the fact that in each community surveyed weigh at least 10 per cent less than thsg should. Epdemics find these under weight children easy victims, and large numbers die from contagious diseases each year, that might have lived if their bodies had been in normal con- dition when they were exposed to the cOntagiOn.
 Not Quantity, but Kind, of Food.
 It Is not a question of the amount of food provided for the American child who is undernourished. but of the kind, as the proportion in the fam lilies of the well-tO-do is about as large as that in the poorer districts. An effort is now being made by various agencies to teach children and their parents the kind of food that should be given children; and the success that is attending the effort is encourag- ing. The thing stressed most In these campaigns is that children must have plenty of milk. Give an abund- ance of that food, and you have gone long way in giving child his chance for health. A quart of milk day for every child Is not too much, say nutrition specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, for milk helps a child to grow, to keep we'll, and to build up strong, vigor- ous body.
 Milk, being liquid, is sometimes cassed with water tea, and coffee, simply as beverage, by those who do not understand its value as food This is a great mistake. If all the . water were to be driven from a quart Or>tea or coffee, almost nothing would be left and the little that remained would have practically no value as food. If, on the other hand, the wa ter were driven from quart of whole milk. there would be left about half a cupful of the very best food sub stances. including butterfat, and kind of sugar not so sweet as granu- lated sugar and known as milk sugar." together with other materials needed to make muscles, bones, teeth and other parts of the body. All these valuable food substances are ordinarily either dissolved or floating in the water of milk. Milk is also very important for providing the growth-promoting substance. or vita mine, called a fat-soluble. Appar- ently nothing can serve SO well as milk, as a basis for the diet of healthy child.
 Good whole milk Is desirable, but if mother is obliged to choose be- tween clean milk and rich milk, she had better take the clean milk, Best of all, of course, is clean whole milk,

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
TRACE EOY."

D ISCOvERY of the fact that D the word tragedy" is a compound of two Greek words meaning "goat" and song" and that a literal translation of the original term would be "a song of the goat" throws but little light upon the modern use of the word, until one examines the custom In vogue in ancient Greece, particularly In connec- ton with the production of tragedies.
 Here, though. we find that the goat played central role in these entertainments. Not only was one of the animals offered as prize for the best perform ance by the actors but, because the goat Is very partial to eat ing grape-vines. and therefore an enemy of Bacchus--the pa gan god of wine in whose honor the festivals were held-One of them was sacrificed at each pro- duction of tragedy. Further to carry out the simile, the ac- tors were dressed for the most part In goat skins, because many of them posed as mar tyrs, a custom from which we obtain our word "satirical." The singing of a solemn, melanchOlic song was the signal for the sac riflce of the goat, and 1t is be- cause of this connection that we apply the word tragedy" Ito something which is extremely sad. whether on the stage or in everyday life.

 THE GIRL ON THE JOB 2 How to Succeed-How to Get Ahead-How to Make Good By JESSIE ROBERTS
DOES TEACHING PAY2

THE talk that was started by Miss q Helen Taft, acting president of Bryn Mawr college, when she assert cd that in her opinion the professors of the country should strike for high er salaries has led many people to ask themselves whether or not teaching pays. It has long been called the "worst paid profession" and there is no doubt that the teacher must sacri- dce any hopes of a great income, now ever eminent he or she may become.
 Yet there is no profession of a more vital importance than teaching, and the teacher should be treated as, and receive the remuneration of, valua- ble member of society. Teaching thOuld be made attractive, and every means that could induce people of talent, force. energy and charm to take up teaching should be used as a matter of course. since the community b bound to beneht.
 There are some who say that the vacations of teachers are longer than In the other professions, and this is so But the work itself Is extremely tatiguing: even with the long vaca- tions, many teachers break down In what should be the prime of life. Then these vacations are often cur tailed by summer work and extension work.
 Teaching In America is largely in the hands of women. It Is woman's duty to see that teaching is brought to its highest efficiency, and that 1t Is made attractive to the right people. Teaching must be better paid or the mon and women who are most needed as teachers will go into other work.

Army Planes To
Try New Aerial
War Weapons

Washington, Sept. 1. - New
weapons OF aerial warfare win be
given an initial test when the
army air service conducts its next
bombing operation-a night at
tack ON the old battleship Alaba-
ma, about September IS.
"A light barrage" composed Of
giant aerial flares, each of more
than 200, 900 candle power, will
be one feature OF the attack. Army
engineers have submitted such
enthusiastic reports on this wea-
pom that larger flares. estimated
to be equal to one million candles,
have been placed under construc-
tion.
Giving a greenish white light,
literally "brighter than day." the
flares to be used in the Alabama
test will illuminate an area Of
five square miles, and expert fly
ers say, should enable the avia-
tors to obtain greater accuracy
than in day time. The flares are
attached to a parachute OF white
silk which reflects the light down
ward with sufficient intensity, It
is believed, to blind the officers
and gunners on the ship under
attack so as to demoralize any
plan for defense, while keeping
the upper air reaches shrouded
in gloom.
1t will not be the object of the
army pilots to see how quickly
they can sink the Alabama, Off
cials said today, but rather to try
lut special gas and non-extinguish
able phosphorus bombs on her, as
we'll as to ascertain the effect of
small demolition bombs.

Dear Dollar
Blamed For
Export Loss
Decline In Foreign
Commerce Affecting
All Business by Glut-
ting Home Markets
By W. H. Atkins

Washington, Sept. 1.--Contin-
ued decline In export trade In re-
cent months has brought with it a
still larger degree of uncertainty
in domestic Industrial trade fields.
The governments program to
finance exports may be broadened
considerably. 1t Is also probable
that the plan of extending finan-
cial relief to domestic agriculture
must assume larger proportions,
with the inevitable piling up Of
surplus stock In American ware
houses.
Exports dropped frora $8,000,- Z
100000 to $500, 100000 last
year. Since the beginning of the
new fiscal year, July /, the de-
cline has continued. Future
months probably will show steady
drops in the volume of goods sold
10 foreign buyers.
Officials are giving close study

ts bearing upon measures de-
signed to aid in restoring busi-
ness In general to normal. Comp
troller of the Currency Crissinger's
explanation Of the export trade
drop and what 1t means to Amer
lean business was this:
Need to Increase Exports
''We need to increase our ex-
ports. But in our new place as
the greatest creditor country we
find it difficult. The difficulty is
increased by the fact that Amer
lean money is the best in the
world-the most expensive.
"Take Italy, for an example. On
a gold basis five italian lire would
buy dollars worth Of goods from
America. But the lire Is SO de-
preciated that II takes more than
twenty lire now to buy a dollar

where else rather than from Am
erica"
This cheapness In the value Of
money of all other countries,
therefore, is driving them away
from American markets. They are
trading with other countries
whose currencies are deprecated
nearer to their own standard OF
exchange. Officials have no way
of predicting when these exchange
fluctuations will cease and cur
rencies made more stable.
Out OF the chaos in exchange
there have come to the officials re-
ports that some of the industrial
countries that are fighting Amer
lea, in capturing world trade
wherever 1t can be gained, or re-
opened, are not disturbed over
their low exchange, but are taking
advantage OF that situation. espe-
cially If America is strong COM
petitor.
Falling Exports Make Glut
The falling off In exports con-
tinues to back UP In American
markets a much larger supply of
goods not needed at home. This
accumulation OF goods, normally
raised for export, is having a dis
astrous effect upon the agricultur-
al and other industries, because 1t
renders more serious the price un-
certainties Of the near future on
many staple goods.
To prevent any great disturb
ance coming to American produc-
ers and shippers, the war finance
corporation has adopted a policy
OF giving larger credit relief to
concerns having goods for export.
The corporation has already as
sured to producers and export as
sociations nearly 800, 100000 in
backing from govern
ment funds.
1t is expected that several hun
dred million dollars will be ad-
vanced by the corporation, now
that 1t becomes evident that heav-
Ter Withdrawals on the export
credit account will be justified.
