Olito oil has been proved by experi ments to be highly assimilable; It lends Itself to the dally menu In a variety of ways that are not only raw! nourishing, but attractive to tho palate. Since fats are essential for growth and nutrition as well as force produc tion, fatty food ii indicated for con valescence from severe acuto diseases anil from chronic wasting diseases, in both of which classcn there has been considerable waste of tissue. Persons who RS.rarr.al,h ha, been .mrilr.3 I by bad hygienic Mirroundlng-, children I who havo 'been wrongly fed by Ignorant I or poor parents who could not obtain proper food for them, and aged person. In whom the nutrltho prccesFe, aro be coming less vigorous all these mny be benefited by supplying a sufficient amount of fatty food In tho dietary. And the best form of fat that can be given the fat that will most quickly glvo the desired results Is ollvo oil. It Is a real food remedy in cases of tuberculosis patients. In anemia, empy ema, rickets, clironio bronchitis, many chronic diseases of tho skin and nerv ous system. In brain fag and all nerv ous diseases, whether neuralgic pain Is present or not, olive oil is a first-aid food. In cases of hyperacidity, ollvo oil lessens tho flow of gastric Juice and un like other fats Is never a tax on a weak stomach. Because of this retarding of the gastric Juice, ollvo oil may be taken at the beginning of a meal to remove the keen edge of hunger and In this way assists In overcoming tho over eating habit. Not Infrequently people wish for something to lessen a too sharp appetite and ollvo oil will do It. To those who wish to put on weight, ollvo oil ts an essential part of every meal. It may be eaten In salads, on bread, and on such green things as lettuce, spinach, cabbage or kale. As part of a fattening dietary It Is best taken with the food and not at the be ginning of a meal. One should select olive oil carefully and know It to be free from fatty acid, clear, bland, yellow In color nnd of right consistency. Beer Do you consider beer In moderate quan tities good to build up the strength? a. n. n. There Is virtually no nutriment In beer. Lteblg, the great German chemist, many years ago made a careful analysis of beer, and he found that the amount of nourishment In a gallon of beer could be put on the point of a table knife, For an ordinary meal ono would havo to drink a half hogshead of beer. Milk Before Retiring la It harmful for a person to take glass of milk before retiring? jiibs n. v. a. A glass of milk taken nt night will often cause the tongue to be coated In the morning. A better plan ls to eat a little stewed fruit cr a little ripe fr.ult nf some kind If one feels the need of food ut night. A cereal gruel may be taken If one wishes a warm drink. Rickets What ls rickets? a. J. S. Light has been thrown upon the na ture of the disease and Its proper treat ment by the discovery of vttamlnes. Funk and his followers hold that rickets ls due to the deficiency of the food In certain vltamines tho presence of which la necessary to perfect nutrition.

(Copyright.) WAR BREAD IN U.S. TO BE EASY TO EAT No Danger That New Ruling Will Inflict Soggy Dough on People Anxiety lest this country be obliged to eat bread made from unpalatable grades of flour, such as are used In Great Britain, has no foundation, de spite the new ruling of tho food admin istration that millers must use less wheat to make up a barrel of flour, ac cording to J. W. Craig, gTaln expert of Shmo Brothers & Wilson Co., of this city, Whllo millers, under tho ruling, must not separate the cream and must use only 204 Instead of 280 pounds of wheat to make 196 pounds of Hour, the product will be all-wheat, wholesome and good. This decrease of waste of the wheat berry during tho seven months between now nnd the next crop will eavo 1C.00O, 000 bushels of wheat, by Mr. Craig's estimate, and will affect production of about 68,000,000 barrels of flour. The variance In the amounts of wheat used to make flourresults from Inability of smaller mills to afford 'tho expensive machinery used y large operators to secure a larger extraction of flour from the berry. Now the stream of discarded portions of the berry to the feed bins Is stepped, and hereafter only "straight" flour can be sold, with varying degrees of purity of color depending on the equip, ment used. .

Neither you nor I will be nskcJ by thu Government to sit In tho peace conferences and plvo our ndvleo re garding tho ilnal settlements. Hut our Interest In tho subject Is great enough to mako us wish to know the elements of tho problems to be con sidered. J. Ellis Barker, an English publicist, has done a great service for such as we by gatheiltiB Into a single volume the history of some of tho great problemi that must bo consid ered, lie calls his hook 'Tho Great Problems of Hrltlsli Stutemanshlp.' Ho ought to havo mado his title broader, for lie discusses tho rjreat problems of Huropciii statesmanship and gives tho history of them. Ills book ought to bo read by every mem- 1 ber of Congress nnd by every Amerl I can who wishes to know on what 1 basis a permanent pcaco can be built. Tho pcaco conferenco must consider tho fnte of Constantinople, tho ills position of Poland, tho construction of Austria-Hungary nnd the control of Asia Minor, including Jerusalem nnd Mesopotamia." "It ought not to be difficult to dispose of theso matters," said Dr. Mcrabre. "It ought not to be." said I, "but It will be. Take tho caso of Constan tinople. Tho Entcnto Allies agreed that Russia might havo that city, but after tho revolution tho Russians Is sued a self-denying proclamation In which they disclaimed nny territo rial nmbltlons. Yet It ts Important for tho commercial Interests of Rus sia that sho control tho outlet of the Black Sea or that tho outlet bo neu tralized In such a way that Russia's right to uso It in war and pcaco may not be denied. Russia would have got possession of Constantinople years ago If sho had not been blocked by tho British, Jealous of Russian am bitions In India. But, according to Mr. Barker, Russia's ambitions do not He in the direction of India, Ho quotes documents to prove that the whole alleged Indian policy of Russia .originated tn the mind of Napoleon, who was playing Russia against Eng land, and that the Russians never se riously threatened tho British posses sions tn Asia. Ho also reminds us that the possession of Constantinople by Russia would weaken that power from a military point of view, whllo It would strengthen her commercially. Its defenso would bo difficult, for It ls separated from tho rest of Russia and could bo connected by land only by annexation of part of Rumania and Bulgaria, shutting these powers from the Black Sea, or by tho annexation of tho Turkish coast of tho Black Sea from the Caucasus to the Darda nelles. The Powors v.-i havo to con sider all these questions when they decide on the fato of Constantinople. "Tho disposal of Asia Minor Is likely to produce still greater compli cations. Asiatic Turkey joins Europe, Asia and Africa. It was onco tho seat of tho world's civilization. It ls capa ble of maintaining a population more than threo times as great as that of Germany. It lies across the land routes from Europe to Asia. If po litically connected with a central Eu ropean Power Germany has had her eve on Asia Minor for years It would place that power In a position to domi nate the Old World. It was from this strategic position that tho Mohamme dans started their campaign of con quest and spread across northern Africa to Spain and even Into France. They went north and, crossed the Bos porus and Invaded southeastern 'Eu rope, and they went east into Persia and India. The district is a vast nat ural fortress protected by mountain ranges, deserts and seas. The future neace of the world depends on' the fontrol of that country by a Power or by a commission of Powers which will not seek to extend its domain by conquest. It may bo taken for granted hat Germany will ,excrt herself to tho utmost to protect the Turk in his control of Asia Minor in 'order, that perman Influence mat; continuo to phi1" uRfjrw.sawaf sr vish uv n CONFRONT COMMISSIONERS plro In tho heart of Europe, extending Into that strip of land which connects tho threo great continents may be car ried out. Tho Entcnto Allies cannot consent to tho German plans If there Is to bo any long-continued pcaco when this war ls over. Tho Russians have taken possession of Armenia and the British havo captured Bagdad and Jerusalem. It ls conceivable that tho Germans may bo ablo to induco the Russians to withdraw from Armenia, but tho British' statesmen aro too well awaro of German ambitions In Asia Minor and too keenly altvo to tho In terests of tho British Emplro for them to consent to surrender what they havo taken without adequato guaran tees that British rights will bo pro tected. ''It will bo much easier to dispose of Poland than of Asia Minor, nl though Germany will exert herself to tho utmost to prevent tho creation of an Independent Poland In which Prus sian Poland will bo Included. Germany wants tho mineral resources of Poland, as sho wanted tho mineral resources of Lorraine In 1870, and as she wnnts the mineral regions of I'ranco nnd Belgium at tho pretcnt time. Sho has seized the great coal and iron dis tricts" of Franco and occupies them now. If sho can get tho icprtsenta tlvcs of tho Powers about n confer ence table whllo &I10 stilt holds these districts sho will be In a position to demand better terms than If sho is forced out of Franco befoio peace terms nro serlously discussed. If she can mako peace with Russia now It Is morally certain that sho will Insist on retaining part at least of Russian Poland, cither ns her own territory or ns a sort of nn autonomous State dependent on Berlin. Mr. Barker, In 1015, foretold tho German efforts to crcato differences between Russia and her Allies In order to pavo tho way for dealing directly with tho Russians on tho Polish question. Ills prophecy has been fulfilled. "Whether the pcaco conferenco can solvo the Austro-IIungarlan complica tions no ono knows. It certainly ought to attempt It. Tho freeing of tho non-Gorman and non-Magyar na tions of Austria-Hungary is ns im portant ns tho freeing of Poland and tho neutralizing of Asia Minor. It is conceivable that Austria, which Is now merely a xassul of Germany, may be strengthened by tho restoration to her of tho South "German States to compensato her for tho los,s. of the non-Gcrmnn nnd non-Magyar peoples who wish to bo set up as Independent States or to bo mado members of & federation freo from German control. If tho llttlo nations aro to bo pro tected, thoso In Austria-Hungary de servo tho attention of tho Powers as much as Belgium and Serbia desonu It. Why, .do you know that tho domi nant races In Austrla-Hunpnry 1.0 not let the men of other races vote? They will break down the bridges so the voters cannot cross tho htrcams to the polls. They will order out tho soldiers to take the voters away from the poll ing places on election day, nnd thoy will resort to other practices beside which those Used In tho Fifth Ward i hero aro Innocont child's play. The realignment of tho nationalities there Is Important to tho peace of Europe. It Is part of tho great policy Involved In checking the German plans for world dominion nt tho cxpenso of other nations. A non-German federation In southeastern Europe Is needed to block the way of Germany to Asia -Minor, as Asia Minor, controlled by non-German powers ls necessary to keop the Germans from getting possession of that great strategic link between the continents." "Mr. Barker seems to have tho whole matter settled," said Owen. "He has assembled thoelements of the problems that must bo considered," I admitted. "Whether tt is possible to go so far as ho thinks la necessary Is doubtful, for thoro are so many divergent interests to be harmonized. But the peaco commissioner who goes to tho conferenco table unfortified by tho vast amount of information which Mr. Barker has put in his book will be an easy prey for tho ambitious Germans who know what they want and why they want it. And if tho intelligent Americans whiso views aro Influential In creating public sentiment should read his book and understand it, our commissioners would have back of them a body of opinion which would stiffen their backbono when they come to lay down tho terms on which penco can bo mado."

Colonel Harvey In the January North American Review regrets with this newspaper that tho President has not found sr.y use for Colonel Itoosevelt. He suggests that tho Colonel be sent to Japan or to South America to attempt to facilitate the co-operation with America In prosecuting tho war. If the Colonel had been sent to Ilussta tho success of the mission to thnt country might have been more brilliant. Indeed, It might havo beer. poslblo to have prevented the success of tho German machinations which have made tho Russian armies Im potent.

Oswald Garrison VII lard, who writes of "Press Tendencies and Dangers," seems to find Indications of a revolutionary sentiment In quar ters far removed from the sweat shops of the clothing makers.
