aged twenty-three since last fall.
He was very good to me all this
time and I have grown very fond Of
him. He says he loves me, and

cares to 60 out with different boys.
All the time he was going with
me he did not go with other girls.
l went out once with another boy,
but did not delay in telling him
about it He seemed very glad to
have me speak the truth,
But at last the crash came. We
were not of the same religion. He
told me his parents forbade him 20
come and see me. My parents have
no objections, This young man Is
very ready to obey his parents. Do
you think II he really loved me he
would give me up just ON account
of religion? I have no intention Ia
marry as yet and not for some
time, but / love him dearly and
therefore want advice.

Ing in his possession a copy of his
own book, Leaves of Grass" The
book, which has subsequently be-
come world famous and has been
translated into many languages,
was considered immoral by many
Americans when it was first pub

Harlan found a copy OF the book in
Whitman's desk, read it, and dis

a pamphlet defending him.
Q. Why is butermilk supposed to
prolong human life? D. E.
A. The idea that the drinking OF
buttermilk prolongs human life was
originated by famous Russian sci
enlist named Metchnikoff. He b.
lieved that the acid in the milk de-
troys the bacilli in the major in
testine, which are a leading cause
OF sickness and death.
@. Are more automobiles owned
In the cities or in the country?
G. S. P.
A. Figures published by the Nar
tional Automobile Chamber OF Com
merce show that in June, 1919, the
registration Of cars by farmers was
2.466,475, while the total registrar
ton for the United States was
7,esS,S48. Thus the farmers, whe
make up nearly half of the popula-
ton, own ;-bout . third OF the ara
showing that the cities have thu
larger share in proportion to pop
ulation.
Q. What do the letters s. O. 5
mean when used ~ . wireless Sig

A. A great many people take :
that the letters s. o. 8. stand for
Save Our Souls" or Save Ouf|

thoritiss this abbreviation is use1
simply because Of the fact that thu
particular combination Of letters
can be given more clearly and read

SUGAR PRAISED AS CHEAPEST
 EDIBLE

] NEW YORK, Oct 10.-Sweets, con
 sidering their dietetic value. make a cheap food according to w. D. Horne. a sugar chemist of Yonkers. who
 was one of the speakers at the
 meeting Of the American Chemical
 Society here last week. Appreciation of sugar as a food has been increas- ing in this country, Mir. Horne said, consumption having risen from fifty | pounds per capita in 1885 to ninety pounds in 1921 Cuba leads with ! ll2 pounds per capita, and Australia consumes 100 pounds.
 Although we consume less than We safely could and economically should, our demand for our quota is very strong. as evinced by the re cent high prices when a shortage threatened" said Mir. Horne Tn a well balanced food ration one should take about 60 per cent carbonhydrates 30 per cent fats and l9 per ce Tt proteins. measured by the calorific efficiencies of the various articles of diet. A fair average is 25O0 cal ories a day of food energy for an adult, and, as sugar develops 1860 calories per pound, the 3S ounces of sugar we eat daily provides about l7.1 per cent of the food energy we acquire.
 This, at '. cents per pound for sugar, is so cheap. our entire food If it could be bought as reasonably
 in comparison to the energy it be slows, would cost each one of us only $34.3S per annum.
 "A comparison of calorfic eff ciency and cost per pound of our principal food materials shows that for the energy developed sugar is one of the very heapest foods We possess. While it compares closely with some of the cereals. it costs only from a half to a twenty firth as much as most of the articles which constitute the chief part of our diet.
 Experiments carefully conducted under government supervision shows that five ounces of sugar daily can be easily digested by an adult. while some countries have shown an av- "rage daily consumption or 5.7 ounc- es per capita of entire population. This indicates the probable safety of increasing the sugar in our bill of fare by 20 or 90 per cent.
 The index numbers of retail food prices show that prices are about one and one-half to four times as high as before the war, and in the main these ratios are borne out by other commodities. so it is evident that no possible economy in food should be overlooked.
 Our sugar and sugar products usually cost about per cent of our total food bill and furnish over 1Si per cent of our food energy. It Is evident, then, that with this efficient and favorita food so abundantly and cheaply at hand We should make even greater use of it, to the increase of our food energy and to the saving of our money"

With the total value of the pro ducts of Alaska imported to the Unit ed States estimated at S2,S91 1892 for the month of August this year as shown by the monthly summary is sued by Alaskan collector of customs. there is evidently a decrease from Alaska exports from the same month last year amounting to $4.4l6,7 ,734. This decrease is accounted for in two products alone, canned salmon and copper ore. One bright spot in the summary is the materially in creased business through the port of Nome with Siberia.

A late edition of the Nome Nugget 1 contains a long account of the ex- petition into the Port Barrow oil fields this summer. The expedition
 headed by Bob Adams. a pioneer res ident of Nome, included geologists and other technical assistants. They returned with samples of oil from the various seepages they visited. This is the oil field to which pr. Alfred H. Brooks referred, in his testimony before the house committee on the territories, last May, as having most promising indications. The result of the explorations by the Adams party more than bore out the predic- tions of Dr. Brooks, that the Arctic coast of Alaska, heretofore consid- cred a barren and unproductive sec tion of the territory, may become one of the richest producing areas

Homer Baker Now
Athletic Director
For Canal Zone

Homer Baker, who has held a niche
in the athletic hall of fame since he
won the international half-mile title at
London several years ago, will leave
these shores this afternoon. The be-
spectacled sprinter is listed as pas
senger on the steamship Colon, which
Will pull up at Panama some time this
week
The veteran athlete will carry his
running togs with him, but will leave
behind his amateur registration card,
for he embarks upon the journey to
the Canal Zone with a new title-that
of Director of Athletics for the United
States Government. Baker received
notification of his appointment last
Friday and lost no time starting out
on his new career.
1t is understood that Homer harbors
4 vague idea that he can compete as
an amateur, despite the fact that he
will receive a nice remuneration for
his services as coach, but this angle
is rather difficult to understand, as
under the A A. U. rules an athlete
who receives compensation for coach
ing is guilty Of capitalization of
fame
