10 OF INTEREST TO II THE STRUGGLES OF A WIFE By Virginia Terhune Van de Water CHAPTER XX. Copyright, 1916. Star Company. Husbands are born wet blankets!" declares one woman. If so. they do not mean to be. It is simply because they are born so. A man's nervous organization Is so much less sensitive than a woman's that he cannot understand why his wife is wounded by his Inability to see all sides of a question at once. At least, that is the way he defines his critical faculty. So Horace Webb had no Idea how much his lack of enthusiasm, his email criticisms, had done to mar his wife's Innocent joy In her good for tune. Grace's Information with regard to the missing dessert interrupted the conversation between husband and ■Wife, and perhaps It was just as well that It did. Horace Webb was not In a happy mood, and when he had what Grace secretly called "one of his fits of doldrums" it was not easy to arouse him to pleasure in anything. Myra's communication had come at lin unfortunate time, she reflected. But she had no chance Just now to muse on this fact, as she must turn her thoughts toward the dessert she had forgotten to order. What a bung ler she was, anyway! "I will slip on my things and run cut to the bakeshop for some parts," ►he said, starting toward her dress closet. "Nonsense!" Grace exclaimed. "We can get out without dessert, if we have; coup, meat and vegetables." "But we are not having soup to-1 night," Myra Informed her. "Oh, aren't we?" The words were few, but they ex- ' pressed either disappointment of dls- ! approval on the daughter's part. "Let Lizzie go out for the dessert," | Horace suggested, rising from bed. Tll a Quandary "She's nol well," his wife objected. "Not well! he scoffed: "she's well knough to do that, I guess." "I will go." Grace volunteered, and 1 before her mother could stop her she| had left the room. "Let her go, Myra," Horace com-j (Handed. "It will do her good. You pre always considering her. You spoil! both her and your maid. You women have a way of spoiling one another." He went into the bathroom to wash for dinner, and Myra stood still for Some minutes after he had gone. She I hiust fight back the tears that threat- ! ened to overflow her eyes; she must . quiet the trembling of her lips before She went Into the dining room. Why need Horace say that she was j always considering Grace? He did hot seem to realise that she was al ways trying to consider him. as well. Trouble and anxiety had made him hitter, perhaps. Then it was the wife's duty to try to sweeten his heart. She hiust do better hereafter. She turned impulsively as he re-! tntered the room, and, going up to | him, raised her face for a kiss. "Now you are more like yourself," j be said, gravely approving, as he kiss- I Bss?polishes I \ \ TIT fTj I * combination of bath i|j J:: :i : : :. \ \Jr I'• / liquid »«< »«il».

"J suppose it is but natural that what you term your 'work' should make you self-absorbed, but you are very often silent and ab sent-minded now adays.

Some thing in the expression of her hus band's face made her understand that he did not care to have her speak of these matters. "I mean," she supple mented, "that I wish you would let me offer you a little sympathy now and then. I would like to help you if 1 could, Horace." He turned away abruptly, in spite of her tender pleading. Was It to sup press any evidence of emotion? But, no, he was always self-contained, Myra remembered. "Thank you." he said tersely. "I>et us go into dinner without waiting for Grace. It takes her a long time to go out to the corner and back, doesn't It?" "Perhaps she couldn't get the tarts at that bakeshop," the wife suggested. Then as she heard the front door close, she started out Into the hall. "Here's the wanderer now!" she called blithely. "Come on, dear peo ple, and let us take our seats at the festal board!" She laughed, and Grace looked at her thoughtfully. "Mother," she said. "I would give anything in the world if I had your spirits. You certainly are to be en vied." "Yes," Horace echoed, with a sad smile, "she is certainly to be envied!" (To be continued.)

Ohio Elects Organization Candidates For Delegates at Large to Convention By Associated Press Columbus. Ohio, April 26.—Returns received to-day from the larger cities of Ohio made certain the election of the organization candidates for dele gates at large to both the Republican and Democratic national conventions at yesterday's presidential preference primaries. Theodore E. Burton, of Ohio, re ceived the Republican vote on the presidential preference ballots, while President Wilson, without opposition on t lie printed ballots, was designated as the popular choice of the Demo crats. William Grant Webster, Chi cago, attorney, whose name had been entered inadvertently ns a candidate for President on the Republican bal lot. instead of Vice-President, received less than 10 per cent, of his party's vote. A few voters wrote the names of their favorites on the ballots. The number of those who did this was small and Is considered of little sig nificance. The name of Henry Ford leads those written on. Both Repub licans and Democrats wrote in his name. Theodore Roosevelt and Charles E. Hughes followed Mr. Ford in order.

HARRISBURG frftiß&l TELEGRAPH AMERICA DESTROYING HEALTH BY COMMERCIAL FOOD FOLLIES Busing Forming Foods Most Important Declares Alfred VV. McCann, the Telegraph's Food Expert CHAPTER 61. Largely through accident, the chil dren of the well-to-do consume many offsetting; foods, the bases of which serve them as the orange served Kn sineer Ashniead in preventing exag serated forms of acidosis. The chil dren of the poorer classes do not ob tain these offsetting elements, which, nevertheless, lie neglected and disre garded within the reach of all. It is the modified but none the less serious manner in which our Ameri can school children, particularly the children of the poorer classes, are rob bed of the base-forming elements of i their diet through such demineralized jfood refinements as some breakfast fond, white breadstuffs, crackers, bis cuits, doughnuts, cakes, pies, griddle cakes, waffles, table syrups, glucose, candies, and ignorant methods of home cooking, which was so eloquent ly but tragically emphasized by the building of the Madeira-Mamore rail | way. Before continuing this record of | proof that America is to-day destroy ing the unborn, the young, and the middle-aged by her commercial food follies, it Is necessary to draw a con trast between the Madeira-Mamore poison squad and the diet of the aver age American child. In the limited selection of foods which are popular in the average Am erican home all the following refined, demineralized, and acidosis-producing products are consumed in large quan tities—sausages, beef, steaks, chops, pork, liver, ham, white bread, soda crackers, wafers, biscuits, doughnuts, buns rolls, crullers, pie crust, lard compounds, store cake, corn flakes, cornmeal, farina, tapioca, polished rice, corn starch, mashed potatoes, fried potatoes, refined sugar, glucose syrups, candies, the pie and cake fill ers used by bakers, etc. More through accident than design and largely attributable to the greater variety of foodstuffs at their disposal, the children of the well-to-do consume many offsetting foods the bases of which prevent exaggerated forms of acidosis, but which are supplied in insufficient quantities to make up for the many deficiencies of other refined foods or adequately to prevent the milder forms of acidosis. Among these milder forms defective teeth constitute the most conspicuous external symptoms. Defective teeth are always accompanied by other sys temic ravages more or less commen surate with the extent to which the base-forming elements are deficient. The greatest harm is accomplished, as we have seen, during the period preceding motherhood, during the en tire period of lactation, in childhood, and in middle age. Not only by bolting, sifting,* screen ing, degerminating, denuding and re fining cereal foods are these base forming elements lost to the human family, but by boiling vegetables and throwing down the waste pipe the wa ter in which they are boiled the house wife also rejects many of them. The chief base-forming foods are oranges, lemons, and ripe fruits of all kinds; greens of all kinds such as let tuce, celery, spinach, onion*. leeks, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, anil string beans; the roots of tubers and legumes when not boiled, such as baked potatoes, carrots, parsnips, tur nips, beets, beans, peas, lentils; nuts of every kind and dried fruits, such as prunes, raisins and currants. Egg white is acid-forming; egg yolk is base-formin. Milk is physiologi cally balanced, containing natural proportions of base-forming and acid forming elements. In accordance with their customs or ability to obtain and consume eggs, milk, fruits and vegetables properly cooked, the children of the poor are saved from the extreme acidosis which kills quickly as In tile Madeira-Ma more poison squad. Be it remembered that mild acid osis, which does not kill quickly, is nevertheless responsible for mal-nu- j trition, anaemia,feeble vitality, lowered j resistance to other diseases, and seri ous departure from normal physical; development that end in misery, im-i paired efficiency, and untimely death. ! If this be true, and the proofs of its truth are at hand, is it not time in- , deed that the public should under- ; stand the relationship between base forming and acid-forming foods? In all our alarm over the question of pre paredness no man is giving a thought j to the bodies of our children of to-day, the soldiers of to-morrow. Grasses and the seeds of grasses, as j described In the Book of Genesis, are i MAY INVESTIGATE ANTIWAR DELUGE Source of Flood of Telegrams | Frankly of Pro-German Ori ; gin Causes Indignation — \ Are Ten Forms at Least of the "Peace" Message The forms of the telegrams with j which Congress has been flooded since last Friday are several.

Timed with psychological accuracy for the manifest purpose of Influencing mem bers of the Senate and House, thou sands of telegrams have poured into Washington every day since the Presi dent notified Congress of the ulti matum he had sent to Germany on the submarine Issue. Doubt as to the origin of these highly seasoned protests against war was removed by a frank request tele graphed from Chicago to a Washing ton newspaper representative and signed by the secretary of "The Arms Embargo Conference." This is one of the organizations promoted by the German propaganda for the purpose I of Influencing public sentiment in the United States. BILL WOULD CUT DOWN WORK OP SUPREME COURT Washington. April 26. An effort to facilitate the work of the Supreme Court so that It might possibly dispose annually of all business before It is to be made at the present session of Congress. The first step In the proposed big reform has been takn by Senator Overman, of North Carolina. In intro ducing a bill, the effect of which. It Is believed, would be to cut, down the number of cases now going to the court as a matter of right one-fourth or one-third. The bill will be con sidered shortly by the Senate judiciary iComjalUee, I typical base-forming and acid-forming I foods. All the grasses nre base-form ling and all the seeds, with the exeep j tion of their outer layers, are acid forming. Hay and oats, for this reason, are perfectly balanced food for the horse. ; Gluten meal, brewers' grain, distillery ' waste, and beet pulp are acid-form | ing byproducts on which the cow is fed and under the influence of which she becomes the victim of tuberculo sis. I An understanding of the facts, not i now taught in any medical school in I the United States or Europe or in any public of parochial school, would re- | suit in a great physical blessing to ! America. j The deaths of the 4,000 laborers who : built those 232 miles of railway that ! runs by the Candelaria grave-yard represent not only a preventable loss of life, due to ignorance of the laws of nutrition, but they also represent tre mendous financial loss sustained by the builders of the road. who. handi capped by sickness and inefficiency, poured a hundredfold more money into the project than would have been the case if the diet of the men had been properly provided for in advance and less false and short-sighted econ omy practised. Men who are not fed cannot yield productive energy. A sick man or corpse cannot dig. Thousands of healthy monkeys played around the Madeira-Mamore camp. They lived, enjoyed life, chat tered, screeched, played and fought and maintained their energy and ac tivity on a diet or tropical fruits and nuts. Their presence in the vicinity of the sick laborers, who fell as fast as they might fall in battle, in the presence of tons of patent flour and thousands of loaves of bread brought from Xew York City, seemed to be an effort of Mother Nature to speak to her unfortunate human children and through the health of those monkeys suggest the remedy. The food of the monkeys was avail able. It was base-forming food, but the men, who even as laborers, had conceived astonishing ideas of class distinction, had already dubbed it "monkey food." The twenty physicians in camp, even had they known that this "monkey l'ood"would have saved the lives of the men, would doubtless have had diffi culty in inducing them to partake of it. With respect to his food mail has ever been a contradiction and a fool. He is not interested in the fixed laws which control the processes of nutri tion, however simple, obvious, or lu minous they may be. He alone is the one animal that ig nores these laws. The Great White Plague, cancer, Bright's disease, dia betes, appendicitis, heart disease, con stipation, and most of the other ills di rectly traceable to inadequate food, through the use of which the human body is deprived of the elements nec essary to maintain its integrity, could in large measure be banished from the human race if the human race would deliberately apply to its dietary the fixed laws which control the resistance of the sheep and the horse to the same diseases and the disregard of which makes the cow and the hog a constant prey to them. Properly interpreted the Madeira- Mamore episode brings home to the American people the importance and the significance of understanding their food supply and of making a belated resistance to the inroads which com mercialism, stupidity and artificial taste standards are making upon them and upon their children.
