And all the people who use
toothpicks in public should be
made to eat alone-behind

ever do this when you were in

DISARMAMENT

Placed on Agenda

GENEVA, Dec. 9.-France gained
q point in the disarmament contro-
versy today.
The French policy toward dis
armament has been more or less
opposed by the British representa-
tives. but today the League Ma
lions council made q concession 70
the French demands.
The council decided that the com
mittee appointed TO make a pre-
paratory examination of proposed
arenda for a disarmament confer
ence should take up the question
~ Article XVI of the league cove
nant. with a view to definitely fix
ing the extent and prOmptitude OF
league aid to an attacked country.
The French have insisted that the
disarmament conference shall lay
down definite rules for the activl-
Ties Of member nations, In the
event that they are called upon 70
make war for the protection OF an
attacked member nation. Great
Britain. fearing that any such pol
lev would result in regulations call.
ing upon the British navy to shoul-
der, the burden of enforcing league
decisions, has opposed this policy.
The preparatory committee has
been instructed to make suggestions
relative to the peacetime control OF
commercial ships and airshiDs, IN
the light Of the possibility of their
being converted into wartime
weapons. This is opposed by Great
Britain.
The work of the preparatory
committee is so ambitious that
chances of an early summoning OF
q disarmament conference seem de
cidedly slim.
The council returned to the dis
cusston Of the difficult MosuI ques-
tion. Although the Turkish repre-;
sentative has stated that he can
not participate until he has re-
ceived new instructions from An
CORA, the council today heard a.
report from General Laidolier, WHO
has been making investigations in
TAX of charges that the Turks
havs been deporting Christians.
The Turkish delegate, Munir Bey,
has bitterly attacked the League
council for its actions thus far
with regard to Mosul, declaring
that It has acted as an arbiter AID

USE
CARbONATED
DRINKS
Food Beverages Popular
in Many Northern
Institutions.

Speaking OF the use OF carbonated
beverages in the hospital dietary. Miss
Vera Kendrick, Of the Springfield hos
pital said: Bottled carbonated bev.
erages, which are classed as food by
federal authorities on food, have come
to be part of the daily diet of pa
tients in hospitals. Dieticians are
recommending these beverages, because
Of the aid the carbonic gas they con-
tain gives to digestion and the ease
with which they convert sugar. their
food property, can be assimilated.
What is the reason for this growth of
the use of carbOnated beverages in the
hospital dietary? There are several
reasons; but the main one is, the
manufacturer Of carbonated beverages
today is careful to see that only the
purest and best ingredients 90 into his
beverages, and they are manufactured
under the most sanitary conditions,
tons and experiments have disproved
the prejudices held against carbon
ated water"
Likewise, speaking Of the value Of
carbonated beverages, DR.. Copeland,
United States senator from New York,
leading health authority, says, "The
average person does not drink enough
fluids between meals and too much
with meals, so if you put bottle Of
carbonated beverage on the table and
tell him to drink it, you are doing
him good because you are going to i'm.
prove his process Of elimination, and
his process Of absorption"
The manufacture Of carbonated
beverage today is an exact science.
The flavors. carbonic gas, even the
publication Of the water comes under
the attention of scientific experts and
to further assure the high quality OF
the beverage, the American Bottlers
of Carbonated Beverages have endow.

AUTUMN LUNCHEONS

1t is customary to give a luncheon
or tea after one returns from the
summer vacation. This is done so
that one may distribute such souveu

and also it is formal notification

seasons activities.
1t may be a tea, luncheon or sup.

But whatever the meal the meuu
should be simple but appropriate. In.
asmuch as one usually invites only
very near friends to such a gather.

For a luncheon l usually serve only

4 medical journal recently published
an article on the effect of diet and
sunshine on teeth. The conclusion
from q survey of children's teeth con.
firms the theo that coarser diet
is associated with good teeth and a
softer one with poor teeth. Water is
also said to have its effect on dental
conditions, hard water being beneficial
to good development.
Foods which are recommended are
bran and whole wheat breads, espe-
cially the crusts. The child Of this
generation is being told that crusts
will build strong teeth rather than
that they will make the hair curl.

Over the sea of grain in the great
American wheat fields the eyes of
travellers look far, to horizon many
miles distant. 1t is unfortunate that
the majority Of consumers of bread
are restricted in their conception Of
modern farming.
The farmer nowadays sows the seed
by the aid of huge machinery. He
reaps the grain, in all of its stages
Of cleaning. with the aid Of more ma
chinery. The grain hardly falls into
human hands from seed time through
the process Of marketing, transporta-
ton and milling.
GROWTH INTERESTING.
From the very day of sowing by the
farmer, the various seed grains are
watched by many mirds deeply inter-
ested in the growing life and nutri-
