FORD: MEN AND METHODS. BY Ed
win P. Norwood. Photographs by
Charles Sheeler. New York: Double
day, Doran & Co.
Not word of theory, business or
humanitarian, within the covers OF this
book. Rather Is it a terse, straight bit
of reporting on the case of that huge
Industrial plant run by Henry Ford for
the turning out of the various forms OF
Tin Lizzie" so serviceable to the joke
maker and the song-hit genius. Yet
despite the fact that this Is prose OF the
most matter -of-fact stripe, the story is
an inspiring one. It is huge and epic in
its effect. No, not a classic fable turned
to daily news. Just the genius OF one
man instead, sprouting in a thousand
ramifcations of invention, plan, design,
for converting natural resources into
easements Of daily life, into work and
good wages and contentment.
Under such titles as Health and
Production" Converting Waste Into
Plank" 'They Earn While They
Learn and many another of like call
one here is able to read a fabulous
story of production where there is so
fine an adjustment of means to the
end in view that the whole becomes
lesson-not on the making OF Ford
cars, but, instead, of doing in the
best way whatever job it Is that you
and I have in hand Having to choose
some one point of deep moment here,
I, naturally, take that last story Of
boys being taught in the school of
Henry Ford Next to this, that chap
ter having to do with health and
sanitation In the great Rouge Plant

Food Facts Something Every House.
 wife Should Know

Food is cheaper this year.. A re- cent goyernment study of retail food costs in 51 cities shows a de- crease of IF per cent February Is, 1881, as compared with February IS, 1880. and a decrease of 4.3 per cent with January 15. 1881. The com- bined decrease of various foods in. cludes dairy products, butter, cheese bottled milk and evaporated milk.
 The housewife need never be with out sour milk. To Q cup of evapor- ated milk add a tablespoonful of vinegar.
 one half pint of evaporated milk will make a pint of unusually rich milk when mixed with water. Evaporated milk will whip. For garnishing strawberry shortcake it is much cheaper than market | cream.
 The good old-fashioned cocktail has gone highbrow. Nutritionists have dubbed it the Protective Cocktail" No misinterpretation is suggested. Its new name merely means it contains those indescrib- able things that keep you well and protect your health. A good tomato cocktail is made by mixing in your cocktail shaker 3 1-4 cups chilled tomato juice, 3-4 cup cold evapor- ated milk, 1-2 teaspoon salt and a dash of pepper. Evaporated milk producers have changed the size of their tall can from 16 ounces to 14 1-2 ounces. But in the IA 1-2 ounce can the house. wife is getting the equivalent in food value of that contained in a quart of bottled milk of legal stand ard.

DOCTOR SUGGESTS
 DIABETES DIET
Voted Diet Specialist Tells How to Overcome
 Disease
roo LITTLE EXERCISE

That many cases of diabetes can be fought without fnsulin if the right diet Is scientifically worked out. is the hope held out by Dr. E. V. Mo- Collum, noted diet specialist of Johns Hopkins. Explaining how the normal body burns up glucose and why worry and the burdens of re- sponsibility favor diabetes, he writes in McCall's for June:
 ''In spite of the remarkable value of insulin treatment, deaths from diabetes are increasing every year. The reason for this is that so many more people are developing this dis ease. The prevention and effective control of diabetes depend largely on good living habits, particularly those concerned with our daily diet. Unfortunately, modern conditions favor indulgence; we eat too much food Especially starches, sugars, and fats) and take too little exercise. These factors, together with worry. nervous strain, and overwork pre- dispose one to diabetes.
 "A certain portion of the food we eat is burned in the body to pro- duce energy. Sugar and starches are first changed by the digestion into glucose, and glucose can be burned only when insulin Ca substance pro- duced by the pancreas) is burned with it. In diabetes, the pancreas supplies an insufficient quantity of insulin so that the body loses in some measure it's power to burn glucose. When this happens sugar is excreted by the kidneys. Insulin prescribed by physicians is made from an extract of the pancreas of animals. A defi- nite amount of this product will burn a definite amount of glucose.
 Many cases of diabetes result from persistent overeating, especially when this leads to condition of overweight. When too many sugar. forming foods are eaten over long period, the amount of insulin used by the body exhausts the cells which form insulin and so the pancreas be- comes worn out for this special pur- pose. Simple weight reduction is all that is necessary in order to make some diabetic patients sugar-free. If shey. eat just enough food to keep their body weight somewhat below normal (without giving any special attention to the composition of the ood) their kidneys will cease to ex-
 rete sugar.
 Nervousness, worry, and the car- wing of heavy responsibility (such as that associated with the work of ship captains and locomotive en- gineers) appear to favor the devel-

Dr Olmsted begins his article di- rectly by saying, Tn recent years the use of unsweetened evaporated milk as an infant food has increased lrapidly. Coincident with it's clinical trial, laboratory investigations by biochemists. and nutrition workers have focused attention on this product. It can now be said that evaporated milk has some distinct advantages which have earned for lit a prominent place in the realm jof infant feeding
 Cows milk is almost exclusively used in civilized countries for the artificial feeding of infants. He an-
 swers the queries of many per-
 plexed mothers who have had to turn to cows milk when their
 breast milk has failed, but fre- quently with unsatisfactory results.

 majority of them display diges- distress and hte vomiting or pas sages Tn stools of undigested curds of milk. In addition raw cows milk
  Then he explained that 1t is the protein in the milk which causes the difficulty. The principal protein of cows milk is casein, while the larger
 part of human milk protein is lac- talbumen. Cows milk casein in the
 baby's stomach tends to form large
 masses or curds of calcium caseinate
 which are hard to digest. Whereas small flocculent curds are formed in
 the baby's stomach when it gets
 breast milk. That is the great dif- ference. The curds of raw cows milk often cause the colicky condition in very young babies.
 In the simplest terms Dr Olm- sted describes evaporated milk: Tt contains approximately twice as much of the individual food ele- , ments as does cows milk. Adding ! to the former an equal amount of
 water practically restores 1t to its state before evaporation, as far as
 food values and percentages are concerned.
 "Evaporated milk differs from

All the babies.-the Smiths, the Browns, the Joneses-are getting more attention to-day than the crowned princes of Europe ever did in the old days when royalty was next to divinity.
 Columns upon columns about babies are set up daily in the com posing rooms of newspapers and magazines. Editors and compost tors are treating infant welfare copy with great respect these days And not latest in importance IS the subject of infant feeding. Physi- clans, too, are adding authenticlty ito the printed matter with their by-lines.
 Recently Northwest Medicine" carried an article by Harry c. Olm- sted, M. D., of Seattle, in which he relates his experiences in infant feed ing with evaporated milk.

Farmer Browns Boy sighed "All
right, Cousin Tom, if you think ought
to go, I will"
So early the next morning Cousin
Tom, Farmer Browns Boy and Flip
were once more in the airplane, the big
man-bird, as the little people of the
Green Meadows back home called it,
speeding away from the Dry Desert
toward the mountains that looked blue
in the distance. Farmer Browns Boy
wasn't wholly happy. for he had grown
to love the desert, in spite Of The tIeac

the engine made talking difficult.
After time the mountains ahead
began to grow and grow in size, and III
watching them he forgot the desert
There were really mountains, such as he
had read about but never seen. They
made what he had called mountains
back home seem mere hills. Higher
and higher in the sky they lowered,
and it seemed to him that they were
gong right into them. You see, he
didn't realize how clear the air was,
making distant things seem much
nearer than they were.
At last the nose Of the plane was
pointed down. Beneath them was a
great plain, stretching as far as he
could see in all directions, save toward
the mountains. A few minutes later
they touched the ground and TAXED up
near a big, cOmfOrtable-l looking ranch
house, from which several people came
running out to greet them. II wasn't
until after naQ shaken hands all
around that Farmer Browns Boy sud-
denly remembered that town 1t was

time enough before dinner, and it will

So he led the way, and Farmer
Browns Boy followed. Presently Cousin

Farmer Browns boy saw, stretching
away before him, ever so many little
mounds CT sand, and suddenly he IN
