his many friends. Few have lived SO long,
serviceable and happy life as he. On April

Mr.. de Forests interest in art and active inter-

during long period Of years First direc-

president, Of the Metropolitan Museum Of Art,
he did much to upbuild that great institution.
Becoming president of the American Fedora

time and thought and consideration to the di-

resources and the framing Of It's policies prac-

federation was his time and thought but he
also contributed literally to its finances, and ii

its power to take beauty into the lives of many

One of the reasons why the ~postoffice department is
no longer a money making division of our federal govern
ment may be obtained from a cursory examination of File

or chamber of commerce.
The government has followed p~recedents established
by Big Business and employed publicity writers. It's vari-
Gus departments prepare thousands of bulletins and
these, together with other matter, go through the mails
post free Congressional records and reports go through
by the thousands of pounds and the traffic Of frank free
matter has grown to be so heavy that postal receipts no
longer cover the cost of handling the volume of both paid
and post free.
Rank waste in the issuance of bulletins which are of
absolutely no value whatsoever to the recipients Is seen on
every hand. The Department of Commerce is a good ex-
ample. Virtually every chamber of commerce in the ma
ton receives bulletins containing such information as this:

tailers form Purchasing Organization, " and thousands Of
other items equally as ridiculous from the viewpoint OF
the average citizen. I'M.
1t would seem that this and other departments would
have specialized mailing lists, sending the material to
those by whom it can be utilized and by whom it probably
would be highly valued. If the tremendous waste in un-
desired COPIES of such matter could be reduced it would
go a long way towards cutting down the expenses not
only of the ~postoffice department but also of our bureau
cratic government. Until such a time File No. l will fat

Pres. Rubio a Lover of Peace

Pres. Rubio of Mexico is not a firebrand. He is for
peace and good will at home and abroad. He has let it
be known that the incidents. for which he blames Sin
ferior local authorities" did not affect "the understand
ing which exists between these two neighboring peoples
and governments"
~"Inferior local authorities" covers all the ground.
Rubio is a statesman, a business man, a diplomat, he has
travelled widely, and those who know him best say that
he is making an ideal chief magistrate of the sister repub-
lie. His nephew was slain in Oklahoma but the incident
did not inflame his mind or warp his judgment.

Daily Health
Talk

Editor. Journal OF the American Medical
Association. and of Hygeia.
the Health Magazine

Associated with the develop
ment of the machines. has come a
gradual change in food habits, SO
that We eat less meat, less cereals,
less sugar and less carbohydrates
generally than formerly. The per
capita consumption Of sugar has
dropped from 100 pounds per per-
son per year to 80 pounds. The fall
in the consumption Of cereals has
been so great as 70 cause extreme
CONSERVATION in the cereal indus
try, from the farmer down to the
baker.
/ have been saying much about
calories and have not yet explained
exactly what a calory IS. Calory is
q term used to indicate a measure
ment OF energy in terms Of heat.
When the human body does work,
it takes up oxygen. gives off carbon
dioxide, water and heat. Carbohy-
drates, proteins and fats taken into
the body undergo chemical changes
and make their energy available.
This energy is then measured in
terms Of calorieS. As a result. IL has
become possible to say exactly how
many Galleries Of energy will be
developed by any certain food in
any certain amount.
The energy needed by the body
must be made up Of definite guam
titles or protein. fat and carbohy-
drates. The body can select TO a GER
tain extent from all Of the food
given to it what 1t needs for en-
ergy, growth and repair Of tissue.
However, there are certain mini
mum quantities Of essential foods,
and unless these are supplied diff
ficulties OF nutrition may develop.
Because Of these factors Of safety
in the human body. bad food
habits may persist rel a consider
able length Of time before resulting
IN the form of definite disease. In
general 1t seems that the human
body needs about 1900 grams OF
protein daily. 56 grams OF fat, and
500 grams Of carbohydrates. There
are conditions in which protein,
carbohydrates and fats must be
modified in amount as occurs, for
instance. in obesity.
The proteins are not simple sub
stances, and they vary exactly as
do the carbohydrates and the fats.
1t Is because OF this new knowl-
edge that the science Of nutrition
developed.

The Tabloid Golf Course
Proprietor's Lament
CAfter Thomas wood
I remember, 1 remember
This Tom Thhmb course forlorn
When it was crowded every day
BY frenzied crowds and worn:
The fans that flocked each summer
night
The bugs" that fingered late
The days when / could talk about
The profit at the gate.
I remember, / remember
When silence vast and deep
Did not reign through the summer
day
And put me fast asleep
When putters merry music made
Throughout the widespread land,
And I was offered for the lease
The sum Of twenty grand.
I remember, I remember
When I employed q force
OF men TO help me with the Work
Upon the crowded course:
The throngs that battled at the
gate
To squeeze In one by one
The days when people played the
game
And thought that it was fun.
1 remember, I remember
When no one was so rude
That he could think Of coming here
In search Of solitude;
When there was life and action,
too.
On all the eighteen holes,
And no one ever thought 'twould be
AS lonely as the Poles.
I remember. I remember
When almost any lot
Was like a gold mine If transformed
Into a Tom Thumb plot;
When one stood on each corner and
Each block held two or three.
And every course an emblem was
OF great prosperity.
I remember, I remember
The days when every nut
Was bitten by the urge to pay
Two bits TO sink a putt:
When / could sit here busily
And count the daily take
And never have TO pinch my arms
To keep myself awake.
1 remember, I remember
The income swift and high:
I used TO tell my bankers that
The limit was the sky;
IL was a childish ignorance
And. realizing same.
I wonder where the people went
Who used to like the game.

Most people are so constituted they
would figure it cheap at twice the
money.

Oklahoma City officials arrested a Mexican consul
on charges of possession and manufacture of beer. Then
an investigation was ordered, the charges were dismissed
and a very formal apology rendered to the consul. Okla

relations as well as to issue instructions to its legally Gre
