They need it and like It. A lot of experimental work has been done on vegetables during the last two years. Much of it has been done in an effort to find out whether dried vege tables can take the place of fresh ones. One discovery hue been that vegetables vary greatly as they' mature. Fresh, young, tender vegetables are far better for us than older, tougher ones. In fact, fresh, young, tender vegetables, after having been dehydrated. Haw audio anti scurvy substance thjtn old, tough' un dehydrated oneg* Therefore it is not ad visable to dehydrate old, tough, matured vegetables. Select the young, tender ones. Guinea pigs could be cured of scurvy by feeding them dehydrated carrots, pro vided the roots dehydrated were yi ung and tender. It was likewise found that prolonged heating extracted the anti scurvy principle from carrots. If young carrots are boiled for 20 minutes and then permitted to finish cooking by allow ing them to stand in the hot water they retained the anti-scurvy principle. If they were boiled longer ^hey lost it. Nothing is better for young children than tomato juice. It r.ot only prevents scurvy, but it has anti-neuritis proper ties. When pigeons are fed too long and monotonously on a diet that is wrong in certain ways they get neuritis and eventually become paralyzed. Human beings have neuritie pains and even a disease similar to that referred to in pigeons and known as beriberi. It has been found that plenty of tomato juice is a remedy for these neuritie difficulties as well. But the tomatoes must be fresh, tender, and not at all spoiled. In cooking the heat must not be tco long applied. If fresh, young tomatoes are used and the heating Is properly done the pulp can be canned and even after a year or more it is a cure for mild scurvy and an ar.ti* neuritie as well as a preventative for the disease conditions referred to. Falk, McGuire and Blount say that to get prime products in canning and de hydrating vegetables the goods must be young and tender; they must not be over ripe, and they must be cooked at a high temperature for a short time. Another suggestion that seems to of fer much is that we make use of yeast as a staple article of diet. It is especially promising as a food for persons between 10 and 20 years of age. Yeast is a plant. It grows rapidly and is inexpensive to produce. It has not the limitations of wheat which can only be grown on rich soil or of beef which is expensive to pro duce. However, it remains for the cooks to learn to make palatable dishes of it and for the growers to put it on a com mercial basis. Yosemite Park. Fr6m the Book of National Parks, Scribners’ Sons Publishers. In the impressive surroundings of the Yosemite National Park in California, F. E. Matt bee, of the United States geolog ical survey, will this month announce in a series of three lectures a new and final solution of the long debated problem of the origin of the Yosemite valley in Cali fornia. The fact, as advanced by Matthes, is that the Yosemite valley was cut from the solid granite nearly to its present depth by the Merced river, long before the be ginning of the glacial period; before the glaciers arrived the river cut valley was already 2,400 feet deep opposite El Capitan, and 3,000 feet deep opposite Eagle Peak. The valley was then V-shaped, and the present waterfalls were cascades; those which are now the Yosemite falls were 1,800 feet deep and those of Sentinel creek 2,000 feet deep. It was not the dawdling modern Merced river that cut this chasm, but a torrent which, day and night for several million years, swept with terrific force down a sharply tilted bed, sand papering its path with the friction of the masses of sand and granite fragments borne down from the high Sierra. That the river could con tinue in this process for millions of years without cutting down to a level, choking up with the sand and gravel it carried, and eventually slowing up, was due to the frequent tilting and shifting of the Sierra throughout its geological history. For the present Sierra Nevada is not the first mountain chain upon Its site. Can Money Buy It? From the Springfield Republican. The project to make New York city the world's medical capital, an honor here tofore divided between Berlin and Vienna, has a reasonable basis. America is already wrell to the fore in surgery and has made notable contributions to tne science of bacteriology. Whatever cash may be necessary can doubtless be raised with out much difficutly. Mexico’s “William Weeks." From the New York Sun. For some years past Mexico has been extensively engaged in the agreeable pas time of making money. More than $2,000, 000,000 worth of engraved certificates have been issued since the revolutionary trou bles set in. The notes arc given the curious name “blllemblque-s,” which Is only a Mexican effort to pronounce the American name “William Weeks.” This William Weeks was once a pay master who used to give orders to the peons tor small sums tq carry them along until nest they aligned themselves before the cashier’s window. The local merchants would accept the notes with the signature of the accommodating paymaster as good currency, and they were named “Bill embiques." By a simple transition the term came to applied to the revolutionary paper money.

E. F. The flag on Ehrenbreilstein may weather a few more summers, but this summer is the last that the A. E. K., as most of us know it, will sweat through. Wo’ve finished. And we have the satisfaction of knowing that we did a good }ob and we're glad to quit. But can we carry the lessen home? Print can’t do It. Photographs can't do it. Man.\ will come to Belleau Wood, people who have read all about the Great War. Already worn paths scar that onoe pathless hell. Those people will see the twisted trees. But they won't see the sprawling forms beneath them. They will see the bullet bitten rocks. But they can never visualize the trembling .horror of lying in those crevices while the German guns spat their death through the grass. Here and there they may pick up an empty shell. But tlie fingerless hand protruding from the rotting khakt blouse has been gra ciously burled beneath a -neat white cross. The horror has been hallowed. The misery has become picturesque, the murder- turned to romance. And those little villages in the, valleys! Their strange sad windows look out across fresh meadow's now like staring blinded eyes. They are so still, so deathly still—not a single wisp of friendly smoke, no human color, only a garish patch perhaps, where some unremembering bush flaunts its green brancli across the gray. This cannot touch the tourist. The home folk can never feel it beside their friendly hearths. Nobody under God's great, tranquil skies can tell of the rottenness of war but the men who suffered through it. Upon (hem rests a solemn duty. They must go home and choke the coward, jingo who macks himself behind his false and blatant patriotism, and the merchant politician, not content with stuffing his home coffers tilt they burst— but anxious to barter the b'ood of his country’s young manhood for new places in the sun! The Prussian guardsman died hard, fighting for such a place. The men in frock coats who make the laws never had to stand up against him. They never took a machine gun nest or saw a barrage roll down, stop and then uncurtain a wall of .shrieking steel. We know what the Prussian guardsman means—his code, iiis cold courage and the blind patriotism that sent him forward, granting none the right to live but those who wore his uniform. We know, but we cannot give that knowledge to others. But upon it we can act. We can help build a League of Nations with such sinews of war and such conscience for peace that no one will dare oppose it. If we don’t, tiro blood will be on our own foolish heads, which, by the grace of God, chance, or sethe Prussian guardsman’s poor aim, are still on our foolish shoulders. j The Finical Taste. J Frcrr the Portland Oregonlon. The war department recently rejected some t>8 bids for purchase of 43,000,000 pounds of canned and cured meat which it had on hand when the armistice was signed. These bids in a majority of eases were for less than half of the sums the government had paid for the goods. .VIany of them were made by the same packers who had sold the goods to the government. There is, perhaps, an element of profiteering in these later trans actions. Evidently the war department is going to get more money for its supplies if it can. It will not, however, in ordinary expectation, get out all that it put into them. They were bought in a war market ; when they are sold their own v.« ight will serve to bring down the scale in some E'gree. Thor© is a ecvtr.in allowance to he legitimately made between market* then and now. But (here is another and an even more influential factor. One element in fixing the price of these goods for civilian use is that they are packed in army packages. The army pac kages are durable enough, but, as the New York Commercial, speaking with authority from*the trade viewpoint, observes, they “have a generally unfinished appear ance, are unattractive to the eye, and the public would expect to get them at a considerably reduced price.’’ So the public pays for its finical taste in such matters as these. Grown accustomed to buying its food put up attractively, it will have it no other way. Tin* eye, no less than the palate and the digestion, figures in the purchase of necessities for the table. Bomb Logic. From the Dearborn Independent. Bomb logic is the argument of t man without a case. It is the snap of the dog who resents society’s insistence on a standard of manners even for dogs: it Is ;he climatic blow of the ignorant out argued by hi? times and baffled by the moving forces of the world with which he Is out of step; it Is the curse of exaspera tion when the world declines to recog nize the pot hobby; it is the earnest desire savagely and selfish.y conceived, to “make 'em suffer,' ’to "hurt ’em," to "give em pain." A poor and insufficient premise for assassinatio n yet bombing has a strong sompeiling appeal to the inarticulate, sub merged fragment, struggling to voice things which are only half formed, at best, in their own lopsided brains. They mouth fearful things, frothing at the mouth, running along at top speed like , t mill race, and pouring over a Niagara )f incoherence; the world looks with ! raised eyebrows, and, with a patient | ihrug of the shoulder, passes on; the humiliated zealot, speechless but blazing with bitter, sullen anger, takes the one1 ;tep which, to him, carries the most im pressive punishment. "Hurt ’em." That’s lis creed. He can understand that; but not much else. lie never realizes he Is stupid; yet he is. It never occurs to him that there are a dozen far more effective ways of making society sorry far its indifference than by bombing a half dozen public officials whom nine-tenths of society have never teen and never expect to see. He sets ils bomb, and, barring misadventures to iis own person by premature explosion, mgs himself, the silly fool, and grins a oothy grin of glee at his "triumph." He’s urt someone; he’s made a wound. Pity the unfortunate bomb logician; he’s 11 dressed up with unwanted ideas, and o place to go. LICE. Some of our good people are alarmed est the returning soldiers scatter gray lacks'all over the country. They say he boys who are now coming back have •sen more closely in touch with the na Jves and the danger of bringing beck hfectlons is greater In consequence, imong the men who are now getting back .re many who have been in Russia, some n Siberia, and a few who have been in he Balkans. There countries are over ain by a variety of terrible diseases. In wrtain sections of the Balkans half the ■opulation have died from typhus within Ive years, and typhus is spread by lice. The fear is not justified. Every mili ary command returning t<» this country ias a delousing and bathing officer and ’very soldier Is held until he has been Jirough the baths and delousing sto lons as often as the delousing officers :hir:k necessary In order that he and his ilothing shall be safe. On the other band a considerable por lon of ;he civilian potmlstlon Is lousy. \To man in safe from lice « „d not because >f the soldiers We need the same rtur.d irds for civilians that the soldiers have, t have known of 10 per cent of the clill lrcn in a public school having been found frifected with lice. Furthermore, there Is more typhus in Mexico than there Is In Russia, and there Is a little mild ty phus prevalent in the United States all ■ie time. So important Is this subject |r.at Dr. McCullough of the Ontario health j department has a pamphlet of Instruction j for civilians.

Attention, therefore, ?ho«hi be concentrator! on iho clothing. When the clothes arc only moderately in bsfrd. ironing the* pram* with a hot iron, brushing of the outside c/othlng and boil ing of the underwear will generally suf lice.

From Leslie’s Weekly. —4— MuJ. George W. Simmons, special com missioner of the American Red Cross, who returned from Sibora, says those who op pose bolshevism by word or deed are shot. Some victims were killed because they lived In brick houses; others because they owned their shops or stores; one because he had formerly been a policeman; others because they were teachers. Many priests have been killed and the churches turned Into theaters. Hinting at Somebody. From the Humboldt Chronicle.
