CAPTURES
CAPITA

A distinguished diplomat
who has observed the ebb and
flow Of world politics in many
quarters of the globe said to-
day:
"The BIRTHS h captured
Washington in 1914 after long
and bloody fighting; it has
remained for a pacifist Prime
Minister of Great Britain to
do it 115 years later without
the firing of a single shot. -
Behind this somewhat WagGiSh
observation lay a sincere and elo'
ouent tribute to J. Ramsay MacDon-
all, the square built, self-made
Scotsman, whose ruling passion is
world peace. whose dream is part
world peace.
Brushed Cobwebs
Without the services OF experts or
the trappings of formal diplomatic
intercourse, the British Premier
undoubtedly has accomplished things
in Washington the full SiSnIllrante
of which may not be fully realized
for years.
And as a result, Great Britain
and the United states go into the
forthcoming naval conference III
January on a basis of friendly eqnh l.
itv and earnest cooperation toward
the goal OF reducing ornaments
throughout the world
Talk Was Climax
The climax was reached when
British prime minister for the first
time in history faced the American
Senate in session. the Senate that
jealousy protects It's prerogatiVes
in international affairs, the Senate
that broke the heart OF Woodrow
Wilson. and exclaimed:

serve. heaped up and flowing over"
But behind the British Prime
Minister who stood on the rostrum
there. most Senators discerned also
the first laborer ever to reach the
pinnacle Of the premiership. a man
sprung from low estate. and a man
whose aversion to war and militar-
ism in 1911-1918 almost made him
q pariah in his own country, his
name Missed. and his company
avoided. Whatever it was, the Sen
tie unquestionably took his pro.

SUGAR MAKES
FOODS PLEASANT
Good Cooks Learn to Use
Natures Supreme Flavorer

No wonder sugar used to be con-
sidered a luxury Of the rich. No
wonder a noted scientist says that
sugar is the greatest continental
food in the world.
Sugars supreme Importance to
health is that it makes foods pleas
ant. No man, woman or youngster
can live on one food alone. To eat
a great variety Of foods daily the
year round is to promote health,
and sugar adds flavor and delight
to nearly every known food. AS a
noted scientist says, to try to eat
most foods straight" would result
In a monotonous, unpalatable diet,
and you simply can't get people TO
eat things they don't like.
Try q dash of sugar on your
favorite cereal. Eat healthful black
berries and other fresh fruits made
delicious by a sprinkling of sugar.
Profit by the experiments of four
well-known women cooking experts
in New York who recently redis-
covered the old art of using a dash
of sugar in vegetables while they
are cooking in a small amount Of
water. Note how the vegetable
colors, freshness and fiavors i'm
prove. This little added sugar
makes eating vegetables a joy. Re-
member the value Of custards, milk
shakes, ice cream and other milk
desserts in helping your family to
eat enough milk. Remember stewed
fruits, candy and cookies for the
end Of the meal.
Slimness is no longer stylish.
Good food promotes good health.

who seems to have about all the
bad breaks. First he loses what
money he has in little game, then
his job, and last Of all is asked by
his brothers to return his pin.
He takes everything good

he faces the boys at a hurriedly

tragedy.
But tragedy was not made for
him, for the next day everything is
cleared he helps to win the foot

mother.
The local revue which the college
boys produce is a riot Of comedy
and burlesque. Eddie takes the
feminine lead, and what he can do
with a dumbell is shocking to say
the least. "The Sophomore" is
