iRAPES A FINE FOOD i
FOR THE HUMAN RACE.
This is the season of the year
vhen grapes are at their best, and
gost abundant. So, if you want to
ry the grape diet, now is a good
ime. It is also a good time to eat
rapes even if you don't care to
ry living on them exclusively.
The idea of the grape diet, of
vhich we heard considerable a few
‘ears ago, is to eat all the grapes
‘ou want and to eat nothing else.
n that respect it is not unlike the
range juice diet. But on the oth-
r hand both of these exclusive
iets of one fruit are quite different
n their effect from the milk diet,
vhich is the third food that is used
8 an exclusive diet.
The milk diet supplies a super-
bundance of nutrition including
11 the food elements. It is there-
ore a diet used to wuild up flesh
nd gain weight. But it is practic-
Jly impossible for one to consume
nough orange juice to gain weight,
nd that is frequently used for the
pposite effect of losng weight.
Grapes occupy something of an
ntermediate position, as they con-
ain nearly twice as much total
ourishment per pound as oranges.
jowever, it is not complete nour-
shment, as neither fruit contains
ippreciable fat or protein. Both
ruits are rich in vitamins and min-
rals, and very rich in fruit sugar.
The effect of a grape diet is to
ast the body on fat and protein
ind yet give plenty of easily ab-
orbed fruit sugar. Such a diet
nay for a time be beneficial both
jecause the simple fruit sugar is
asily digested and because a tem-
yorary reduction of fat and pro-
ein intake may result in a bodily
wousecleaning of accumulated sur-
lus elements.
One should not expect to eat
mough grapes to gain weight on
he diet, yet from four to six
sounds a day will prevent any great
oss of weight and at the same time
jave some of the digestion resting
ind eliminating effects of a fast.
These qualities of grapes which
‘esult in their being chosen for such
1 diet also recommend their free
ise in any diet. It is a mighty
recommendation of any food
when it can be eaten exclusively
without making one ill. Grapes
isually can. They are one of the
most tried and proven oldest foods
tnown to man and all human food
sroducts. Noah grew a crop of them
ind after he got out of the ark
made wine and got drunk and dis-
graced himself. People are still
joing it, but the grape is not re-
sponsible.
ELEVEN YEARS TEST OF
WOMAN SUFFRAGE
The eleventh anniversary of wo-
men suffrage finds only a few old
fogies still refusing to accept en-
franchisement of all citizens as a
matter of simple right. Butit finds
many, who have always believed
that women should vote, disap-
pointed in results.
It was, of course, sentimental
foolishness to expect that women
would immediately become a great
purifying force in American politics. '
For one thing they did not know
how. It would have been hard for
an electorate of enfranchised sera-
phims, if they had had to conform
to the electoral systems invented
and established by generations of
men voters, and seemingly designed
to keep control inthe hands of ward
boeses, party cliques, favored busi-
ness interests and campaign contrib-
utors.
Yet there are certain things wo-
men might have been expected todo
which they have not done. Many
tasks ‘are waiting in woman's prin-
cipal vocation--the rearing of new
citizens to be physically, mentally
and morally fit.
Hundreds of thousands of children
continue to work in mills and
sweat-shops, because not eno
voters are interested in pi or
ratification of the child labor amend-
ment. The pure food laws are
generally unobserved, their great
champion, Dr. Harvey Wiley, charg-
ed just before his death. The
8 -Towner Maternity Act has
been allowed to lapse. The country
retains its relatively high rate of il-
literacy.
To organize united support of
these measures, and others like
them, requires no particular political
skill. It demands nothing more
than intelligence and interest in
one's immediate concerns as a mem-
ber of a community. Surely intel-
ligent self-interest is’ not too much
to expect of women voters. Cer-'
tainly not enough of it is being dis-
played.— Pittsburgh Press.

MAN RESIDED HERE
20,000 YEARS AGO § LIGHTS ) yum:
Life in North America Is |
Traced to Ice Age.
Pasadena, Calif.—The time man has |
lived In America was pushed back to |
at least 20,000 years ago by reports to |
the American Association for the Ad- |
vancement of Science here recently,
Archeologists and geologists told |
how they have read the record writ-
ten In earth deposits that give strong
evidence that highly developed man
hunted strange red haired and large
clawed ground sloths, primitive horses,
buffalos unlike those known to early
white men or Indians, and other
strange beasts. Man was contempora-
neous with these creatures when the
last great ice sheet of the glacial age
still covered northern United States,
That man existed at a time more re-
mote than generally credited is the
conclusion of leading authorities, in-
cluding Dr. H. M.
Harrington of |
the Southwest museum, Dr. Barnum |
Brown of the American Museum of
Natural History, and Dr. Chester Stock
of the California Institute of Technol-
ogy.

Doctor Harrington and Doctor Stock
told of explorations of a gypsum cave
near the site of Boulder dam in Ne-
vada, where the camp fires, weapons,
and torches of early man were found
imbedded. They concluded that this

only from his tools, since none of his
bones have been found after two
years of excavations, greatly strength.

most scientists have considered possi-

At Folsom, N. M., Dr. Barnun
Brown found a kill of extinet buffalo
made by men using stone weapons
that are different from and superior
to any hitherto discovered in Amer-
lea, He dated the deposit in which
the bones were found as 20.000 years
old.

Practically anyone can go to bed, but
not everyone can go to sleep. For
this there are various remedies. All
depends upon the form of wakefulness
| from which a person suffers. I know
| a man who Is kept awake by any light.
He happened to get a room in a hotel
where a street light shone through the
window. Knowing that his wife some-
times slept with a stocking over her
eyes, he tried the scheme with a sock.
Apparently, he didn’t know the trick
of adjusting it, as it constantly slipped |
down over his nose and mouth, threat-
ening to smother him. Finally, he re
made the bed so that he lay with his
head away from the window. This
was a pretty good Idea, except for
the fact that he had a stiff neck In |
the morning from twisting about to |
see whether the light was still there.

Another man I know can’t stand
noises; at least, city noises are a
source of Irritation to him. When he |
lies down to sleep he finds himself
counting trucks and automobiles which
roll by. Somebody told him about
some wax things which you put in
your ears and he thought the problem
was solved. The next time he came
in from the country he prepared for
a peaceful night in town by getting
some of the wax plugs and Inserting
them. The rest of the night he lay
awake, straining his ears to discover |
whether he could hear through the
wax,

There 1s a friend of mine who lives
next to an armory. In the regiment
to which the armory belonged was a
man who evidently hed smbitions to
become a bugler. After everything
was over on drill nights and the oth-
ers had gone home, he would remain
and practice bugle calls. Perhaps at
eleven o'clock, he would blow tattoo
for a while, which was fair enough,
but around midnight he would start In
on reveille, or boots and saddles. La- |
ter still, he might blow the mess call. |
Now the listener to whom I refer Is a
man who retires and rises early, but |
he had no desire to boot and saddle
at 1 a. m. And as for the mess call,
his doctor refuses to permit him to eat
at night. The result is that a good,

Part of Noted Robinson
Crusoe Island Vanishes
Santiago, Chile.—Six persons were
killed when a part of the Island of
Juan Fernandez, 350 miles off Val-
paraso, suddenly glided Into the ocean,
it was announced by the war minis-
try. The disaster, which was attrib-
uted to effects of a strong storm and
a tidal wave which swept It, affects
Cumberland bay, the only harbor on
the island, and surrounding hills,
It was Juan Fernandez island which
.nspired the book “Robinson Crusoe”
by Daniel Defoe. That story Is sup-
posed to have been based on tales told
by Alexander Selkirk, a sailor who
was left on the isiand following a
mutiny on his ship in the Seventeenth
century. After the island became a pos-
session of Chile, following Chilean in-
dependence in the Nineteenth century,
it was used for years as a state prison.

Some people think that the national treasury is full of what

treasury spends its income from taxes about as fast as it re-

dollars more, and facing a big deficit.
This deficit will have to be met by an increase in taxes or
by borrowing. Yet in the face of this we shall find, when the
next Congress meets, schemes for doles of every kind, fostered
by politicians looking for votes.
