American Efforts in Great War Are
Lauded by Brtish Official
By SIR FREDERICK E. SMITH, Atiomey General
We in thie country realize the immense contribu-
tion America is making to the fighting forces of the
allies and we are glad Americans are here now fo see
the spirit of the British and the sacrifices they are pre-
pared to make.
Never has that spirit stood higher and never have
the British been more resolute to maintain the struggle,
even for twenty years, in order that democracy might
win and Germany be shattered.
Undue and excessive expectations were entertained
regarding the speed with which the American contri-
bution could be got ready. I never had any illusions on this point. Amer-
ica was selled upon to do in one moment a task a hundred times. greater
than any nation in the world’s history has been called upon to accomplish.
Never has a nation undertaken such commitments or flung itself more
thoroughly into its task.
The very fact that we have with us in this war the sons and grand-
sons of men who fought in the great struggle between the North and the
South is a source of encouragement and a precious consolation.
should create a warm friendship, as their differences are only superficial.
It is worth at least something that the Anglo-Saxon races, the lega-
tees of a precious civilization, should make an imperishable friendship.
Jf that is the result, then even the shipwreck of this terrible war will not
have been entirely for nought.
Ill Health Brought to Millions of People
by Lack of Vegetables
By EDWIN F. BOWERS, M. D., in Physical Culture
It is notorious that in this land of plenty and reckless exploitation
of natural resources there should be—not thousands but millions—who
don’t know the taste of a green salad or succulent vegetable, or a ripe
orange or grapefruit from one late summer or autumn to the next. Their
winter-time conception of a vegetable is a boiled potato or a can of
tomatoes.
Hundreds of hotels, thousands of boarding houses and scores of thou-
sands of families—ignorant of the fundamental meaning of a “balanced
ration”—hold that peas or rice or beans are “vegetably” enough fo accom-
pany a dish of pork or beef. :
They ignore—if indeed they ever knew—the fact that rice is a carbo-
hydrate, a starch product, almost identical with the potato or bread they
already have—and that peas or beans are a sort of vegetable meat hash,
containing 22.85 per cent of protein (a nitrogen product, like meat)
and 52.36 per cent of starch. : : ey
And all the while these millions are suffering from the lack of essen-
tial mineral salts—lime, potash, iron and other elements that enter
largely into the composition of bones, teeth, nerves and other cell struc
tures. Vr
As a consequence we Americans have the most rachitic bones, the
softest, poorest teeth and the most unstable nerves of any civilized people.
A perfect set of teeth is hardly to be found in a child, and among adults
they are less frequently met with than are molars among hens. :
Vitamines, too, those unanalyzed and indefinable but tremendously
important substances ‘that contribute so much to the general physio-
logical “tone” of the body, are missing if lettuce, celery, apples and other
uncooked vegetables and fruit are missing from the dietary.
But most of all the “hay”—the bulk, made up of the fiber and cellu-
lose of vegetables—is lacking when vegetables and foods, low in actual
food values but rich in water, are lacking. This is the chief reason why
the American is the most constipated biped on earth.
Merely Cutting Down Courses in No
Sense Lessens Food Consumption
By HARRIET CULVER
\ Returning again and again, as we must, to the subject of conserva-
tion, we find that, after all, we are returning rapidly to the norm.
The period of fads seems to be passing and the wheels are slipping,
if not back into the old ruts, at least back where the going is smoother.
There’s the matter of the course dinner, for instance. The elimina-
tion of superfluous courses seemed the most patriotic thing imaginable
a few months ago and the hostess who dared to serve a one-course dinner
instead of three or four courses was dubbed at once one of our most
patriotic of women.
But now even the government sees that merely cutting down the
number of courses in no ‘sense lessens consumption, but does, as a matter
hardest to conserve.
Our soldiers may have a penchant for hors d’ceuvres, but the govern-
ment commissariat countenances mo such frills, and we presume that
they eventually become contented with their restricted but substantial
menus.
So, when wishing to ape government simplicity, we also cut out hors
d’ceuvre, what do we do? Show our patriotism? By no means. We make
a still greater demand upon the substantials which the government sorely
needs a monopoly of in so far as is possible. :
Tt has been shown that small course meals actually increase the con-
sumption of meat and wheat by 30 per cent because restricted meals do
fot so readily satisfy and thus extra portions are called for.
Let us, then, if we would be up and doing in true copybook style,
go back to the courses that dally with lobster and terrapin and duck,
game and sea foods, because by so doing we will be lessening our demand
for the staples which the army must and will have. We will be just as good
patriots as we were before the war and we’ll be steadying market condi-
tions as well. ’
Besides, we all have a weakness for a varied diet anyway, and it’s
such a comfort to know we can indulge our palates ad lib, as it were.
It is
well that Englishmen and Americans should be brought togrther. They |
of fact, really increase the consumption of the very foods we are trying |

French Politeness in War Time.
The new French “luxury tax” dis
eriminates between men and women,
in- favor of the latter, bien entendu.
Thus, while a man pays a tax if he
buys a hat costing more than 16s, wom.
en’s hats sre untaxed unless they are
priced in excess of £2. This preferen-
tial treatment, says the Temps, par-
odying a famous phrase, may be gal-
lant, but it is not war. One may add
that the difference is even more in |
favor of women than is apparent on
the surface, because the average wom-
an buys at least three hats to the
man’s one.—London Globe.

HAARLEM OIL CAPSULES |
IF YOUR BACK ACHES
Do you feel tired and “worn-out?”
Are you nervous and irritable? Don’t
sleep well at night? Have a “dragged
out,” unrested feeling when you get
up in the morning? Dizzy spells? Bil-
fous? Bad taste in the mouth, back-
ache, pain or soreness in the loins,
and abdomen? Severe distress when
urinating, bloody, cloudy urine or sed-
iment? All these indicate gravel or
stone in the bladder, or that the poi-
sonous microbes, which are always in
your system, have attacked your kid-
neys.
You should use GOLD MEDAL
Haarlem Oil Capsules immediately.
The oil soaks gently into the walls
and lining of the kidneys, and the lit-
tle poisonous animal germs, which are
causing the inflammation, are imme-
diately attacked and chased out of
your system without inconvenience or
pain.
Don’t ignore the “little pains and
aches,” especially backaches. They,
may be little now but there is no t
ing how soon a dangerous or fatal
ease of which they are the forerun-
ners may show itself. Go after the
cause of that backache at once, or you
may find yourself in the grip of an ins
curable disease. :
Do not delay a minute. Go to your
druggist and insist on his supplying
you with a box of GOLD MEDAL
Haarlem Oil Capsules. In 24 hours
you will feel renewed health and vigor.
Aftér you have cured yourself, con-
tinue to take one or two Capsules
each day so as to keep in first-ciass
condition, and ward off the danger of
future attacks. Money refunded if
they do not help you. Ask for the
original imported GOLD MEDAL
brand, and thus be sure of getting the
genuine.—Adv.
