THE UNIVERSAL FOOD

DREAD has been the most important
- food of the human race and prob
ably always will continue to be. What
ever variety of fruits and vegetables
the Luther Burbapks of the future
may develop or however the improve
ment of transportation may make 1t
possible to ship foods all over the
world, bread will always be, literally
as we'll as POLITICALLY, the staff Of life.
While man was a wandering animal
he lived on the meat Of animals and
on Wild fruits and vegetables. But as
soon as he established home ami
settled in one spot, he began planting
grain Even the wandering Indians
planted a field of corn in the spring
and halted until the corn had grown
and ripened. The World war showed
that no matter how great nations
wealth in gold or silver, steel or cot
ton, it was strong only in proportion
to its bread supply.
The amount of bread needed by the
different nations varied widely, depend
ing on the habits of their people. In
Italy, where bread or its equivalents in
the form of macaroni and spaghetti
forms a large part of the food supply
of the people. 30 per cent of the re-
CURED food supply was in the form Of
bread. France needed 60 per cent Of
her food in the form of bread. One
half or 30 per cent of EnglanHs food
was bread. So under all the need for
iron, powder and other war supplies
was the stern necessity of getting
enough wheat to Europe. in spite of
the German U boats, to give the people
of the allied nations enough bread 10
keep them alive.
This country has never been a bread
eating nation as have the older coun-
tries of Europe. The quantity and
variety of food In the United States
Is such that only about 50 per cent Of
our food is bread. This, according to
DR.. Graham Lusk, one of the leading
food authorities, Is because the COM
parativey low price of food and the
high wages paid in this country make
1t possible for most of our people to
buy the most expensive foods.
For bread is cheap food, when
rmeasured by its heat-producing and
nourlshing value. AS DR.. Alonzo Tay-
lor of the University of Pennsylvania
says Bread is our cheapest food. for
4 gives us one-third more nourishment
for one-tenth the cost"

HOW TO KEEP
WELL
PLUMBING AND HEALTH
DIR. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor Of "HEALTH' ~
OCCOCOOOOC

MODERN plumbing, like modern
AVA dent istry, Is practically an Amer
lean invention. The average home In
this country is far superior to those
in other countries In heating, venti-
lating, lighting, the disposal of waste
and the supplying of water. Even the
cheapest flats and tenement houses
here have household conveniences
which few families in European coun'
tries enjoy.
The object Of plumbing systems In
the house is twofold: the removal of
individual and household waste and
the furnishing of pure water for house
hold purposes, for drinking and bath
ing. 49,.
When we first began to look for the
causes of diseases, much attention was
given to sewerage. Many diseases,
such as typhoid, pneumonia, scarlet
fever and diphtheria, were attributed
to air from drains. This was q sur
vival of the old belief In the existence
of 'miasms,' "effluvia," nOxiOus va
yors and bad air. which caused DIS
ease. Defective plumbing" was a
popular explanation of disease cpl
denies.
We know now that the possibility
of disease being caused by the air from
drains and sewers is practically neg
ligible. If drain pipes carrying away
sewage and water pipes carrying IN
water are SO leaky as to allow the
sewage to get into the water pipe.
typhoid fever may result, as generally
happens when drinking water Is pol
luted by sewage.
But most diseases caused by germs
are passed from one person directly
to another. They are not carried by
air. neither are they caused by bad
air. Constant breathing of air lddened
with sewer gas might possibly cause
lowered resistance to disease, although
even this Is by no means certain.
Plumbing methods and materials
have made great advances in the last
25 years. We all remember the old
zinc-lined boxed-in bathtubs, wash
bowls and kitchen sinks, in which
leaking pipes kept the floors and walls
water-soaked. causing bad smells,
cockroaches and water bugs. Present
day open plumbing, in which all pipes
are uncovered, porcelain or enameled
bathtubs and sinks and better meth
DDS of soldering and joining pipes,
have made the bathroom and the kitch-
en- the most sanitary rooms in the
whole house.
But to keep the plumbing in the
house in good working order requires
constant care and watchfulness. The
soil and waste pipes should be kept
free, so that constant current of air
prevents odors. Traps and drain pipes
should be frequently flushed out with
a hot solution of ammonia or washing
soda to prevent them from being
stopped up by accumulated grease, and
cracks and breaks should be promptly
repaired. Defective plumbing does
not cause disease, but it may cause
great deal of discomfort.

New Dover Opera House

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
Arrangements have at last been eff
fected for a local showing of the gi-
gantic motion picture classic, "The
Hunchback of Notre Dame" The
widespread renOwn of the famous
Victor Hugo masterpiece in its cellu-
loid form is such that it is hardly nee
essary to dwell upon the greatnes of
the production, for which the entire
Cathedral Of Notre Dame and eight
blocks of Parision streets of the per-
iOd Of Louis XI were reproduced at
Universal City. During the first five
months following its premier at the
Astor Theatre in New York it was
shown only at the largest legitimate
theatres throughout the country. 1t
established a record at the Astor by
running more than six months to ca
pacity crowds. According to Mr..
Swartz, manager of the Dover Opera
House, the expensive film was secured
for local presentation following a per-
sistent and growing demand on the
part Of patrons for the picture that
has had nationwide success and ma
tion-wide praise from the most dis
tinguished critics in every important
city, and is reported to have gained
unprecedented glory in the biggest
theatres of all the capitals of Europe
1t is claimed that an amount exceed
ing $1,5OO,OOO was spent on the pro
duction and that $500 people take
part in the great mob scenes before
Notre Dame, where Lon CLANCY, wht
is generally conceded to be the world
greatest character actor, plays tn
part of "Quasimodo,' the misshapenec
bell ringer of the magnificent cathe
dral. The production in its film form
has been endorsed by the clergy 0
all denominations.

Odd Japanese Custom
Fixing Age of Babies

Japanese babies are precociOus, for
they are year old the moment they
are born, and two years old the first
New Years day. writes Carroll Y. Zim-
norman in BabyhOOd. That is the
way the Japanese reckon age, counting
the year in which the baby is born
one. the next year two, and so on. If
you had been born in Japan just as
the temple gong was about to boom
u on the night of December 81, you
would be, according to the Japanese
mind, two years old with the first re-
sounding clang
So in Nippon. one of pair of twins
might indeed be a year older than the
other. This addition of another year
to a PERSONS age on January l, ire
spective of the actual month Of his
birth, came about in this way: When
in 1870 the Japanese calendar was
changed to conform to the European
months, the people at large could not
understand why they should be done
out of their real, as opposed to the
official new year. and so. at the be-
ginning of February, the same thing
starts again. and everybody considers
1t his duty to celebrate the occasion
just as his ancestors did.

"LittLe Rir6 Told Ne"

In early days superstitious people
paid considerable attention to the birds
and their different cries, which were be-
lieved to fOretell events. Thus comes
the old saying, "a little bird told me-"
says the London Daily Mail.
Traces Of this belief are to be found
in our own Old Testament, where verse
20 Of chapter 10 of Ecclesiastes speaks
Of "fOr a bird of the air shall carry
the voice, and that which hath wings
shall tell the matter" 1t is generally
agreed that 1t is from this belief in the
universal knowledge of birds-which,
of course, are supposed to see every
thing from the sky-that we get this
saying.

Emu Perfect Example
of "Henpecked" Male

Among the Australian emu emanci-
pated females are the rule. Here the
lady does the counting, which consists
largely of a loud booming. The emu
is a very irregular layer, depOsiting
her big green eggs at intervals of
from two days to a week. No nest
is built, and 1t is the duty of the
harassed male to follow her move
ments and to cover the eggs with bits
of straw or grass. so that they may
have at least some protection, says
Lee S. Crandall in the Mentor. The
clutch varies from two to as many
as eighteen eggs; just how the male
keeps track of them all is still mys-
terry. When he feels that no more are
to follow he scoops a shallow hollow
in the ground and gathers into 1t his
scattered treasures. Then he humbly
begins the process of incubation, a
task which lasts for eight weeks-the
longest incubation period known to
birds. When the babies emerge he
laviShes on them an attention that no
mother could excel. This great bird.
nearly as large as an ostrich, leading
a brood of chicks. might serve as a
perfect example Of mOtherly sOllci-
tude. He guards his children for a
year and a half. leaving them only to
yield to the persuasive "boom" that
again bends his neck to the yoke.

Che Screen
At The Strand, Smyrna

Saturday-Feats of French and
German air pilots in the World War
were duplicated in Southern Califor-
MIA recently -duels high in the air
and a plane crashing to earth in a
sheet of flame. Seasoned pilots many
of whom saw actual war service,
watched in amazement as these scenes
were taken for Betty COmpson's new
starring production for Paramount,
"New Lives for Old" It's a story of
a French dancer, caught in the net of
international intrigue which was
spread throughout the world during
wartime and forced to sacrifice her
career and, it appears, her love for
her country. Back of the primary
drama is the world war, booming a

Thieves Cart AUGy House

The daring and the ingenuity of
modern thieves occasion frequent sur
prises for the police of various cities
Articles picked up and carted away
range from things whose apparent
value to any other than the rightful
owner would seem nil, to things so
huge that 1t would appear almost I'M
possible to conceal them. A complaint
recently filed with the Paris police by
a Nine Cabert said that her whole
house had been stolen, says the New
York Times. Nine. Cabert stated
that she had built a house Of wood in
the Rue de la Caltpetriere. She was
called away to visit a dying aunt and
when she returned the house had dis.

brakes Set of Bow[s

One Of the features Of the great his

scene, of the identical set of bowls
with which Drake was playing when
the armada came in sight. These
bowls are among the treasures Of Tor

There are people, however, who
doubt their authenticity, or, rather,

Drake and his celebrated game on
