In addition to the charge that Mr..

the work was to be undertaken, insist

1t is asserted also that the commit

War upon detailed estimates. Instead
it is said, the defendants authorized the
expenditure of millions of dollars with
out the approval of the Secretary of War
and without estimates.
The committee Is accused of disre-
garding the services of the engineering
corps OF the army and of employing at
the cost to the Government of more
than a million dollars consulting en-
gineers and town planners for work at
various camps. Although IL had been
ordered by the Secretary of War that

Brands of Patriotism.


Now patriotism the world round is a
lofty and a kinetic sentiment. In the
United States it is lofty always and
seldom kinetic In Europe it is kinetic
always, it has its direct influence IN
the day-to-day lives and existence of
millions OF people unconnected directly
through army, navy or other service
with their respective sovereign govern
ments; and. truth to tell, there are
times @hen 1t is anything but lofty.
With most Americans patriotism began
probably with the first childish salute
to the flag. 1t grew in the still sonor-
Gus school room echoes of the rotund
latinities OF Clay and Webster and the
soul-touching directnesses of Lincoln.
It was pricked to action by the furry

herself in "Humoresque," first saw

FADS.

A long time ago I recommended
taking yeast to cure impurities In
the blood, to clear the skin OF such
ugly eruptions as pimplos. to pre-
vent blackheads and generally to
improve the health. Yeast became
a fad--still is fad, for that mat
ter, and I think it is an excellent
fad-so Ion as 1t is not overdone.
Before yeast I think that the fad
was agar-agar. Nobody claimed
anything for that, except that It
would absolutely break up the most
stubborn case Of constipation. and
thus, by keeuing that part Of the
body in healthy working order,
clear the blood Of impurities and
keep the skin fine grained and
clean. No one said agar-agar con-
tanned vitamines. It was under
stood that its virtue lay entirely in
the fact that the system in no way
absorbed 1t and that 1t was nothing
but an internal cleansing agent.
But yeast was full of vitamines,
and vitamines became the next food
fad. Vitamines are the lifeglving
element OF food. Some foods are
very rich in them and such foods,
of course, are among the healthiest
to live upon. Now we have have a
new fad--iron.
Raisins are rich in iron and the
newest thing is to carry around n
package Of raisins in ones pocket
and eat a certain amount each day.
Like most fads. this is quite harm
less and indeed, has much to be

SUPPER,
