AMERICA'S POSSIBI/K OBLIGATION

[George Burton Adams, formerly

1 believe that if the time should
come when Germany scents about to
train a final victory in this conflict,
then the obligation would rest upon
tie to declare war upon Germany. Let
me be*? the reader to notice exactly
what I say, and not to understand rne
to say more than I have said. I say:
J believe that the war may lay Ihis
obligation upon us. 1 do not believe
that it has done so yet, though the
possibility seems to me nearer than it
did six months ago. In certain con
tingencies, which have not yet arisen,
It will he the duly of the t'nited States
to declare war upon Germany.
Why? I have no intention of rest-
Ins? this obligation upon any ideal or
theoretical (grounds, nor upon any
grounds of race relationship, nor even
of humanity or civilization, however
solid such grounds may be thought to

of an unavoidable necessity, and con
sequently of political and military ex
pediency.
It has been said by one in high sta
tion that we have no part or interest
in the policies which seem to have
brought this conflict on. If by that is
meant the immediate policies which
brought the war about in August, I!H4,
then the statement is quite true. It is
true in no other sense.
1 find it very hard to believe that
any student of recent history whose
mind has been open to the reai drift of
events can convince himself that the
particular Balkan issue which brought
Ihis war on was its real cause. The
truth was admirably stated by an
Italian journalist in answering one of
the early manifestoes of the German
university professors. In trying to roll
the responsibility for the war off the
shoulders of Germany, they said that
Europe might have had peace—that
Russia and France might have had
peace, if they had been willing to have
it. Very true, was the Italian answer,
Kurope could have had peace, if it had
been willing to submit to the absolute
and unmodified dictation of Germany,
but upon no other terms, That is the
true cause of this war—that. is the
practical issue which will be settled
OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
"THEIR MARRIED LIFE"!
|,
The telephone wakened Helen out
of a sound sleep, and she started up
hurriedly only to settle back on her
pillow with the knowledge that llary
would answer it. She and Warren
had been Tip very late the night be
fore, and, as she had been very tired,
she had gone to bed directly after
lunch to get some sleep before Laura
should arrive.
' The telephone rang again, and she
| wondered irritably why Mary did not
| answer. Really, she would have to be
reproved if she did not do better;
and then Helen remembered, that this
was Mary's day out. Again that an-
| noying tinkle, and this time Helen
sprang up and went out into the hall.
Her "hello was not too cordial until
she recognized Laura's voice.
"Helen. I don't think I can rnan*-
age to come over this afternoon, after
jail. Will you excuse me"
I The quality of Laura's voice ban
ished the last vestige of sleep from
Helen's eyes—lt sounded as though
she were in trouble and neetied help.
Her voice sounded strained and un
i natural, and the situation required an
unusual amount of tact.
"You simply must come, dear,"
Helen said sweetly, as though she
suspected nothing.
"But 1 won't be any kind of a com
panion; I am awfully nervous to
day."
"I am all alone, T have let my maid
go out and there is no one here. I
shall be awfully disappointed if you
don't ccme."
Laura hesitated, and Helen jumped
into the breach.
"You simply must come. I won't
forgive you if you disappoint me. I'm
sure it will do • you good to get out
into the air. Why don't you walk
over?"
"No, I'll come in the car. All right
Helen, you can expect me, but I told
you the truth when I said that I am
terribly nervous."
She Prepares For Laura
Helen just laughed and rang off.
| She rubbed her eyes and then went
j into the bathroom and plunged her
j face into cold water. The icy sting
I refreshed her, and she proceeded leis
urely enough with the rest of her
dressing. It was only 3 o'clock.
Laura would probably wait until 4 to
come. Helen could not help thinking'
I a little regretfully of that extra hour
that she might have slept. Really she
and Warren must cut out night hours.
Now that she thought of it. she
actually hadn't been in bed before
twelve or one in ages. They had spent
so many evenings with the careless
Bohemian people who never went to
bed until the hours were small. Helen
had noticed that Anne's small white
face was beginning to look even
smaller—that child wasn't used to
such hours either.
Well, lhat was neither here nor
there. There was another problem
I still more important. What, was there
about Laura Richards' life that was
making her unhappy, that was chang
ing her from a contented woman to a
hitter type of wife entirely unlike her
ordinary disposition?
Helen wheeled the little tea wagon
that was a recent acquisition into the
dining room and arranged the cups
and saucers and plates on it. She fill
ed the tea ball with her best orange
pekoe,and placed the muffins ready for
toasting. There was fresh butter, too.
Helen remembered how Laura adored
unsaVted butter, and had bought some
on purpose. The bell rang, just as
she finished. Laura already? Why
it was only three thirty, that was
strange.
"1 came right up," Laura said as
Helen swung the door open and pulled

Amazing but Rarely Suspected Truths About the

CHAPTER 30.
Tlic Use of Wliite Bread Enormously Increases the Consumption of Meat,
Which, When Pushed Beyond the Limit of Normal Toleration, Is Fol-
lowed b.V Physical Derangements
From Mineral Starvation.
Not content with the result of their I
experiments, which demonstrated the j
Inadequacy of pearled barley as a life j
sustaining food, Weill and Mouri- !
quand subjected pigeons to a mixed j
diet of pearled barley, polished rice, >
and b'olted wheat flour from which
the germ, the bran and underlying
layers, containing the salts of calci-
um, phosphorus, potassium, iron,
silicon, sodium, sulphur, maganese,
magnesium, fluroine, and iodine had
been removed.
These are the same refined grains,
now purchasable in every grocery
store in the United States, on which
the American people are now striving
to develop a normal race of men, not
realizing that in every pound of such
refined food the growing child, the
prospective mother, the nursing moth
er, and the feeble adult are deprived
the elements indispensable to the
proper functioning of their vital or
gans.
Weill and • Mouriquand expressed
the results of their experiments in
these words:
"All the pigeons fed on this mixed
diet of polished riee. pearled barley
and bolted wheat flour showed para
lytic disturbances ending in death. We
have thus proved that symptoms of
the beri-beri type can result from a
diet of refined cereals.
"Nutritive disturbance in infants
are doubtlessly, at times, caused by a
too exclusive feeding with exhausted
flour derived from decorticated ce
reals.
"The physician should take care
to vary the diet of the weaned child
and include in it cereals from which
the pericarp, bran and germ have
not been removed."
Six months later another French
man, A Balland, national associate
of the Academy of Medicine, issued
a warning to the French government
in which he said:
"Several times T have pointed out
the exaggerated development of the
bolting of flour, which augments the
price of bread and diminishes its nu
tritive value.
"Notwithstanding the known facta
It in in vain that some of our most
distinguished physicians, eye-wit
nesses of the miseries suffered in hos
pitals, who are anxious for the future
of the race, have arisen against the
invasion of white bread.
"The bolting of flour, favored by
the world-wide cultivation of wheat,
which is extending every year, reaches
at the present time as much as 50
per cent, of the weight of the grain,
while less than fifty years ago only
'3 per cent, of the grain was utilized
in flour milling.
"Hoimehold bread ha.s diauUDeared
her into the hall. "I'm glad you made
me come. Helen," and she turned her
head away as her eyes suddenly filled
up with tears.
Helen was more mystified than ever.
She could not understand Laura's at
titude. First she was bitter and then i
she was miserable, There was only
one answer to the riddle and Helen
dread to think of such a thing.
In the living room with the shades
drawn and the lamp lighted over the]
tea cups and toasted English muffins, {
Laura raised tragic eyes to Helen sud
denly and said:
■ aura Tells the Secret
"Well, 1 have decided to tell you!
dear, you are so sure that you can
help me. It's another woman."
"Oh, Laura are you sure?" Helen
was truly amazed; she had thought of
such a consequence, but only remote
ly. Somehow Laura's husband seemed
such a different typ«j of man.
"Of course I am sure, it is hardly
clandestine any longer, everybody
knows. 1 am surprised that you
haven't heard."
"That is htardly strange," Helen ex
plained, "considering that 1 don't
know any of your friends."
"Really, Helen, you are more for
tunate than you know. I am telling
you frankly, a woman never knows i
when she is well off. 1 used to Ihink |
that I was utterly miserable when
I was alone and friendless without
money here in New York. I know
there must be hundreds of other wo
men just as I was, but if they only
knew, they would try to be more con
tented with their lot. 1 never dreamed ;
then that I could know the depths of !
misery I have endured for the past
few months."
Laura spoke wearily, with a tone
less quality that brought tears to 1
Helen's eyes. Why was there so much
misery in the world? Above all, why j
couldn't men be deecently faithful to j
the women they married? Laura was j
right, she might better have remained j
single and endured "the pangs of lone- 1
liness than to have had her married
life turn out like this.
Like a flash her mind leaped back'
to her own skirting of the precipice, j
She and Warren had come very near
the parting of the ways, nearer than j
she had thought possible. Perhaps j
things might not be so bad for Laura, j
"Can you tell me about it, Laura." |
Helen said, gently. "You see I can j
tell better after 1 know."
"There's very little to tell. She is
a woman of means, a flighty little soul, j
one of the appealing doll-like variety I
that men often admire so much. Herj
husband can't seem to do anything
with her, and all the men spoil her ut
terly. We met her at an affair tip at j
the Armstrongs', and she marked ,
John as an especial favorite that even- ]
lng.
"Of course, I laughed, and in fact
we both did, her preference was so
marked and she showed it so child-!
islily in a pretty confidential manner!
that always takes with men. John
was flattered of course, and afterward i
he began to show a preference for j
her.
"At first I could not believe it. but;
when they began to appear together j
in places where I could not help but i
hear it, I lost my head, and I haven't j
known what to do. There have been
times when I have been frantic. I j
know that T can't bear it much longer I
Helen, something will have to be
done."
And Helen, looking mattters frank
ly in the face, agreed with Laura that
things could hardly be worse.
(Another incident in this absorbing
series will appear here soon.)
as Grave as Those Which Kesnlt
from the ration of the French army
and this fact is specially dwelt upon
by those who dread the effects of the
use of white bread because never In
the history of France is there greater
need than just now of beautiful, well
nourished, active, and long-enduring:
soldiers.
"Recently the bolting of flour used
for the French army bread has dis
carded from twenty to thirty per cent,
of the wheat of the grain. The re
sult has not let itself he long waited
for. Everywhere the ration of bread
appears insufficient; the hunger of
the soldier is less satisfied.
"Xt the beginning of the French
revolution, when the army bread was
made entirely of unbolted flour, the
subject was placed before the Acad
emy of Sciences for a decision con
cerning the advisability of removing
a portion of the grain, and Parmen
tier, the agriculturist, who introduced
the cultivation of the potato into
France, prepared the official report.
"Even then it was recognized that
bolting the white flour was injurious
and did not constitute a substantial
aliment for the soldier."
Balland, quoting from this ancient
report, says:
"What is good for the soldier Is
good for every man who is engaged
in active physical work and who needs
thoroughly nourishing food. The
bread so universally employed to-dav
is made of the central parts of the
grain which are the least rich in the
elements most essential to life."
Supplementing Ralland's warning
Michel, Levy, and Begin, army medi
cal inspectors, declared:
Bolting eliminates the useful ele
ments of flour in more than one re
spect and has no other compensation
than an Improvement in the color of
the bread.
"What the white bread lacks in nu
trition has to be made up by an in
creased consumption of other foods
containing the missing elements. This
fact is brought out very clearly in
the reports of the food supply 'fur
nished in the French army.
"The use of white bread'enormously
increases the consumption of meat,
which, when pushed beyond the limits
or normal toleration, is followed by
many physical derangements as grave
as those which result from the min
eral deficiency of refined cereals."
Never before has any case been
made in behalf of public health in
which the evidence Ims been so over
whelming or so conclusive. Yet. If
we may lie permitted the phrase, "the
worst is still to coma."

Here is one of the newest and prettiest
coats for little children. It includes the
fashionable shoulder cape and it flares
generously, at the same time it can be
made a simpler garment by the omission
of the cape and by the use of a belt.
Again. there is a choice of a round neck
or a neck with high collar, consequently
1 the model is a good one both tor the
1 cool days of the spring and for the
warmer days of the coming summer.
For the spring, it would be pretty made
of corduroy or broadcloth, or of gabardine
or of taffeta. For the summer it could be
made of piqu6 or of linen, of silk, of
bengaline or of bedfored cord. On the
figure, rose colored broadcloth is shown
with the edges bound with bias of satin.
For a still handsomer coat, taffeta could
be treated in the same way. In the small
view, there is a suggestion for white
broadcloth with stitched edges. The
coat without the cape is made of cash
mere with narrow silk braid as trimming.
For the 2 year size will be needed, 3*4
