AN OBSCURE BATTLE


Today is the anniversary of an inn
portant but little-known battle of the
American Revolution-the battle Of
Hobkirk's Hill, South Carolina, fought
on April IS. 1881.
Technically, 1t resulted in a British
victory, since the handful of Ameri-
cans, under Nathaniel Greene, tenn
porarily retreated. But as they had
done so often before, they retreated in
such a way as to place the British
In a worse position than they had
been before their victory" Famili-
arity with the countryside, of course,
enabled them to do this.
Furthermore. Lord Rawdon, under
whom the British fought the battle
found that his lines OF communica-
ton had been cut by two wings Of
Qreene's army, and was forced to re-
treat Immediately from his newly
gained position.
The battle of Hobkirk's Hill pre-
ceded the surrender Of General Corn
wallis at Yorktown and the end of
the Revolution by just six months.
1t undoubtedly hastened that surren-
der because Rawdon's forced retreat
following it added a final blow to a
series Of harassing incidents the
British had met during their North
Carolina campaign.

IMPORTANCE OF EXPORTS

Few persons realize how much their daily lives depent
on the flow Of commerce the The relations
OF foreign trade to the individual known only to the
economist to the few others who have observed them
In their actual workings
Trade is such an ordinary thing the layman pays
little attention to It, but stop and what happens
Some American communities sell in foreign countries
half OF all the goods they produce. Suppose some
catastrophe blocked all exports at the American piers
Ono imagine the result Were the United States to
discontinue exporting her manufactured products and
materials millions would be thrown out OF work
here and foreign factories consuming materials
produced here would have to suspend operations.

diet course which started on Tuesday,
April 16th)
NOW YOU ARE ON A NON
STARCHY DIET
Today you are living on 4 vegetable
diet made up Of what are called the
on-starchy vegetables. The list from
which you are selecting your vege-
tables really names almost al Of the
vegetables, and there are not very
| many left which belong In the starclly
class. Potatoes and Hubbard squash
are about the only ones you will not
find In this list. The tubers, such as
parsnipS, beets and carrots, could be
listed as medium -starchy vegetables.
as they contain from eight to twelve
per. cent Of starch, but these vege-
tables may be usually placed in the
non-starchy class as their starch is
not sufficient to cause the same di-
geStive disturbances which are created
when such starches as the grains and
flours products made from the grains
are used.
With the exception Of potatoes and
Hubbard squash, you can always
think OF vegetables as being nom
starchy, and such vegetables may be
always freely used in the diet with
the exception Of those which are espe-
cially gas-forming In themselves, such
as onions, garlic, cooked cabbage. etc.
Those with tendency to excessive
gas may find that the use of turnipS
and beets will bring on stomach or
intestinal distress caused by the gas
produced from the use of these vege-
tables. Lettuce may also be consid-
cred gas-forming food II too much
is used at one time.
Spinach, string beans, asparagus,
celery, small squash and egg plant
may always be considered safe vege-
tables to use by anyone, no matter
how sensitive his digestive organs
may be. OF course, even these foods
may be spoiled by improper prepar-
alton.
Minerals and vitamins Needed
While the non-starchy vegetables
contain only small amount OF
starch and little sugar, they are.
nevertheless, very valuable foods. The
largest amount Of their weight is
made up OF water and cellulose but
the solid material is q combination
OF vitamins and organic minerals
which are indispensable to the body's
growth. All Of the animal kingdom,
including man, must use food con-
tanning these substances. The carniv-
orous animals get their organic min
erals directly from the fresh bones
and flesh Of the animals they have
eaten, but man who uses only a lin
ited amount Of flesh foods and prac-
tically no bone must depend upon the
vegetable kingdom for his mineral
supply which the plants are able to
transform from the minerals Of the
soil to vegetable minerals.

Editorial Comment
PRISON ESCAPES
(KanSas City Star

considerable number Of prisoners escape from our
pcnitentaries as and other penal institutions from
time to time They gain their freedom by OF In
strun,cnts smueged to them by by mutiny
We are apt to become hoty indignant when hardened
criminals escape the punishment assessed against them
for their crimes by breaking out Of prison by any means
We censure prison officials for not preventing escapes
and SO far escapes arc due to carccssness conn
ance. such cesre Is properly placed But at most the
escapes from prisons are few In comparison to the
escapes in courts because Of defective laws pro-
ccdure and the ceveress Of criminal lawyers who make
their business to get murderers bandits and other
fclonous awhreakers out Of the clutches of the law.
We arc much more indifferent to the prevailing failure
Of our legal system to convict In many cases in which the
evidence conclusive than we are to the occasional
escapes from prisons Our concern In the one instance
Is not misplaced but In the other Is much less than 1t
should be.

PRAISING THE BABY
(By Alice JudSOn Peale)

While he is baby the child knows
only love and tenderness and appre-
citation.
His first step is great event and
his first word a triumph. Whatever
he does meets with indulgent laugh
ter and uncritical delight. No won-
der he sometimes tries to cling to the
rosy days of babyhood, unwilling to
face hard, exacting world.
The process of growing up is made
harder for some children than for
others. The baby who is exclaimed
over every time he eats all his spin
ach, says q new word, or does some
charming little trick, grows to accept
adulatiOn as natural accompani-
ment to good behavior. Admiration
and attention become his daily bread.
Then one day the family decides
that the baby is becoming spoiled
and vain, or perhaps new baby
arrives to occupy the center Of the
stage. The hitherto balmy atmos-
phere of the nursery changes quite
suddenly for one Of severity.
No wonder the dethroned one
sometimes goes on strike and refuses
to do any Of the things which have
won him appreciation In the past. He
who not many months ago was such
a bright, responsive little creature,
becomes moody, unresponsive, con-
trary. Perhaps he even develops tenn
jer tantrums and night terrors.
I. is wise, therefore, to refrain from
constant praise and attention even to
little baby. for, while he may not
know the meaning OF single word,
ne understands perfectly the admira-
tion Of those around him.
When the time comes. as 1t inevit-
ably must, that he can no longer be
continually adored, he will be saved
a profound disilluSionmcnt.
He will have learned to be good for
the sake of quiet approval and to be
happy in his increasing power over
his environment.

THE TYRANNY OF YOUTH

The overestimate Of youth is phase OF weakness
The disposition to lament its passing Is evidence
that one has not found the secret Of happy life.
Youth is the time OF enthusiasms bright hopes and hot
desires The tendency Of the immature mind is to con-
slider these things the best part Of existence.
If We fortunate enough to acquire any wisdom
as grow older find that contentment does not
lodge in these things but prize to be gained by the
normal Of will, intelligence and skill in
self mastery.
The sentiment which crops out so often in poetry and
in novels that the Joy Of fes morning Is all that's worth
while is closely akin to cynicism
For 1t leads to cyncism and to despair when the
early period is once past
The impression you get from the average novel is that
the interesting part Of life when the young people
are married and done for
matter Of fact, the best part Of life ought to be
after so.
We begin life as young animals We ought to wind
1t up great spirits And age is better than youth
precisely the life Of the spirit is better than the life
Of the flesh: precisely intelligent human being
ought to be happier than an unthinking animal
The average American family is dominated by the
children.
This is bad for them and for everybody else 1t makes
them intolerant selfish and dsagrceabe And reduces
their parents to = state Of peonage.
The truth that every parent ought to know is that II
q clds youth is to be permanent asset in his life
it must be made period Of discipline rather than Of
self-indulgence.
No wants to go back to the heartless caous and
unsympathetc system of treating children They should
have their full portion Of love- appreciation and under
standing But at the time they should be made
to realize that life is not matter Of having good time
1t is matter OF sef-masery Of honor and OF hcroisn1
Such qualities alone bring permanent happiness. And
such qualities do not grow in soil Of continual In
dulCcnce.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Coal OIL For Rhemvna fas,,,

Question: J. A. s. writes: II am
troubled badly with rheumatism from
the shoulders to the wrists, especially
IN the elbow joints-so much 50 that
my right arm Is slightly crooked
already. Would rubbing the arms
with coal oil be Of benefit? Also, is
eating apples harmful?"
Answer: It is all right to rub on
Goa! OIL. wintergreen oil, or any kind
OF IMMINENT II 1t brings you temporary
relief. but you must not expect . cure
from such treatment. Eating the
apples might do some good providing
you eat nothing else for three or four
weeks. Poisonous infection from the
colon is the primary source Of rheu-
matism. Through q cleansing diet and
coion hygiene you will be able to stop
the spread which is now troubling
you. The stiff arm may never be-
come normal. but you can even hope
!or q good change in that as ! have
known many badly crippled cases to
completely recover and regain the
normal use Of the joints affected.
Mucus- Forming Foods
Question: Mrs. w. M. asks. "rn

I eliminate bacon, mayonnaise. butter

Answer: I see no reason why YOU
cannot use reasonable amount of
the foods you ask about providing the
rest OF your diet Is we'll balanced.

THE BOSS HAS TO KNOW

II you want to teach man how to do something, be
sure you first know how to do it we'll yourself.
This advice isn't especially new, perhaps: but 1t Is
given new force by recent interview in which Henry
Ford revealed that that is the rule he goes in every
phase Of his life.
He 1t in his history and he 1t in his
ton For instance:
He took up the old-fashioned dances few years ago
because he noticed that at most dances the elderly
pie simply sat around watching the younger and he
thought that the oldtme dances should be revived for
their benefit. SO he set to work to do It,
First however he had to learn how to dance the old
dances himself. He got a teacher and made himself
proficient In all the old steps that had gone out VI
favor. Then he considered himself qualified lead the
movement for the old dances.
Il always learn to do things myself before try to
get other people do them" he said never ask any
one In the Ford Motor company to do anything cam
not do learn first and then turn over to some
one else. In that way turn my attention to
thing else"
Obvious this lesson is there are great many peo-
pie who could take the time to re-learn it.
You've met them. Perhaps you've worked for them,
ct one time or another Occasionally such get into
positions Of responsibility they don't often stay
Of ambonbut they can't get the best results Of the
people who work for them because they themselves can't
do the things they expect their subordinates to do
In the old sailing ship days. first mate whose han
ding Of his men was unjustly criticized always had
ready comeback It was:
4 didn't come In through the cabin window"
What he meant. Of that he had worked his
way up to the officers rank by doing seamans work
himself. he was = good officer. he knew that he
could 90 Job the ship better than the sailors
who worked under him. An officer Of that kind no mat
ter how brutal or overbeartns he might BE- always
had the respect Of the men.
The officer the sailors hated the one who had
come in through the cabin window"-who had gained
his Job through favoeitism, and whose ability actually
TO do with his hands the jobs that he directed them
TO do was not up to snuff
No man can hops TO rise very high unless he knows
thoroughly, every angle Of the Jobs below him. An am
tious young man. Just getting started In trade or bust
ness. would do well % remember that.
