The British government now put forth a strong effort to reduce the colonies to submission. An army of 55000, including 17,000 German mer- cenaries (''Hessians), was sent under command of Sir William Howe to put down this wicked rebellion" The thir- teen colonies adopted constitutions as independent and sovereign states. On June ', 1776, Richard Henry Lee of Virginia offered a resolution in con- gross declaring that "the united col onies are, and ought to be, free and independent states; that they are ab- solved from all allegiance to the Brit ish crown; and that all political con nection between them and the state of Great Britain is, and ought to be, dissolved"
 Birth of Declaration.
 This resolution, after an earnest debate, was adopted by the votes of the delegates of nine out of the thir- teen colonies. A committee consisting of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman and Robert k. Livingston was in- structed to prepare a declaration in accordance with the above resolution; l; and the celebrated Declaration of h. dependence, written by MT. Jefferson, based upon the equality of all men and the universal right of self-govern- ment, and asserting that "all govern ment derives it's just powers from the consent of the governed" on July 4, 1776, received the assent of the dele gates of the colonies, which thus dis solved their allegiance to the British crown and declared themselves free and independent states.
 Dark Days for Patriots.
 After the evacuation of Boston by the British, Gen. Washington, with the remains of his army thinned by the hardships of winter, hastened to New York. On July Gen. Howe being joined by his brother, Admiral Lord Howe, and Sir Henry Clinton found himself at the head of 35,OO0 men; defeated the Americans on Long Island Aug. 27, 1776, compelled the evacuation of New York and secured possession of it's spacious harbor and the Hudson river.
 On Christmas night Gen. Washing ton by crossing in boats among float ing ice made a successful night attack upon Hesslan force at Trenton and gave new courage to the desPairing Americans who recruited the army and harassed the enemy with win ter campaign.
 In the meantime Silas Deane and Beniamin Franklin had been sent to France to solicit recognition and aid. The recognition was delayed, but i'm portant aid was privately given Ill money and supplies, and European volunteers-the Marquis de Lafayette, Baron Steuben, Baron de Kalb, Kos kiusco and Pulaski-rendered the most important services.
 While Washington was contendlng unsuccessfully against disciplined and overwhelming forces in New Jersey, Gen. Burgoyne was leading an army of 1000 British and German troops with a large force of Canadians and

Speaking of Vitamines.

That little knowledge is dam
eerous thing is especially true in the
field of dtetetics- Women read con-
corning matters of diet in magazines
and newspapers. and they enlarge this
smattering OF information by at
tending courses of instruction on the
subject. Then they regard themselves
as experts.
AS matter of fact any really
authoritative knowledge of dietetics
would have to be founded on thor
ough knowledge of chemistry and
physiology. 1t is because the house
wife does not possess this and does
not perceive her deficiency that she
talks so freely and conclusively on
all the new subjects of dietetic ex-
deeply interested in vitamines
She knows exactly what they are
and what they do. which is very
much more than the most learned
dieticians do. To her it seems the
most important thing in meal plan
ming now to get as many vitamines
into meal as possible. She feels
that if a certain food does not come
under the list of those containing
vitamines 1t is not nourishing. She
rich in vitamines it may not be easy
to digest or may have deficiencies
of another sort to make it undesir-
able as food for certain persons
Thus. though raw cabbage in one
case proved to provide the lacking
vitamines in the diet of certain
child, you would probably be far
from wise to start in giving your
child of tender years raw cabbage.
Just possibly the raw cabbage might
prove indigestible in spite of it's
vitamineS.
Another error that we are inclined
TO slip into as we feed ourselves up
on this new theory in dietetics is
that every i'll from which We have
ever suffered has been due to a lack
of vitamineS in our diet So we eat
yeast cakes and raw fruit and uuan-
titles o tomatoes. feeling that if we
just stuff enough vitamines we shall
