which sent him rolling into the street
When Berman was arraigned in court
on a charge of fighting he told the
judge that he had evened up some
old scores of his army experiences.

We are glad to note that the old
time army red tape seems to have
disappeared in the matter of taking
care of the disabled ex-service men.
But the red-tape seems to be added
to the experimenting of many thous-
ands of draft evaders which enjoy the
fruits of the labors of the men who
waded the muds of France, Belgium
and Italy for democracy" Where
are these hundred thousand evaders
Perhaps the government is really do
ing something along this line. We
surely hope so. There are quite a
few "Corned Willy" experts who are
waiting for a chance to help this
cause along when they do.

If you once come to American Lee

These draft dodgers are going to
hate the American Legion before

who cancelled their first papers in
order to avoid the draft three years

NJ OF only from a humanitarian
~ standpoint but in view Of the
serious situation faced by
America in the Orient, it would be wise
to cement the friendship between the
United States and China, in the opinion
of the Rev. DR.. Henry e. Dosker, a
member of the faculty of the Presby-
terrain Theological Seminary, Louis
vile, DR.. Dosker, who served as a
missionary in Japan and also in China,
make an urgent appeal for funds for
the 100000 starving Chinese in the
famine stricken provinces north of the
Yellow river.
He has been in this territory and
says he is not surprised at the report
Of the American Minister at Picking,
which states that 100000 of the in
habitants are subsisting on dry leaves,
wild plants and tree bark and the
death rate from starvation now is
$1,000 a day with typhus epidemic
seemingly inevitable.

LINCOLN'S DISTATE
FOR HUNTING.

in all the work Abraham took his
part" says Ida NJ. Tarbell in her boy
Scouts Life of Lincoln appearing
serially in Boys Life, the official mag
a zine of the Boy Scouts of America.
THE AK was put into his hands as
soon as they arrived in Indiana, and
he was so strong and so willing that
he was soon abel to swing it with
skill. 1t was only from hunting that
he held back. He had no taste for
KILN gthings. Just before he was
eight years old he shot his first tur-
key-and it was his last. He never
shot a deer or bear, though he always
took his part in guarding family and
neighbor when there was danger from
proving wolves. But if he did not
kill, he did know how to skin and
butcher animals. Curing and tanning
the hides of the bear and deer and
wolf they took was almost as impor-
tant to the family as the meat, for it
was from these skins that large
part of their clothing, as well as bed
and floor coverings, were made"

amount OF food rightly combined will
give more energy than large
amount lily combined. Some one has
said that the selection and organiza-
ton Of food In the diet is as fmpor-
tant as the organization OF an army.
A properly disciplined force OF soldiers
is more effective than an unframed
mob, we viii agree.
One of the essential things to re
member is the different groups of
foods:
|. Foods which provide protein
which builds muscle; these are milk,
eggs, cheese, meat, poultry, dried
peas, beans and lentils, as well as
fish.
2. Foods which furnish US starch
and sugar; these are cereals, meals,
flours, bread, macaroni, potatoes and
such starchy foods; sugar in various
forms such as honey, molasses, can
dies and sweet fruits, preserves, sweet
cakes and desserts
8. Foods which furnish fat. Sup
piled by butter, cream, olive oil, corn
oil bacon, salt pork, suet and other
cooking fats
4. Foods which supply mineral
salts, vegetable acids and body-regu-
lating substances. This is a most i'm
portant group and has been sighted
in the planning Of the ration far too
often. We ind these substances In
apples, pears, berries. melons, oranges,
lemons and other fruits; in salads OF
green vegetables, such as lettuce and
cress; in green's, like spinach green
peas, tomatoes and squash.
When purchasing supplies for the
family table think in terms Of these
groups. Some Householder will say
MY family will not eat such and such
foods, or certain members Of my fam
lily will not eat the kinds CT food
necessary for them to keep In perfect
health With rare exceptions this is
admitting your own lack Of properly
training the children 70 eat the things
that they should eat
