The American soldier, with ; but about a year of training is meet ing the seasoned veteran of the IViissinn army and i more, than holding his own as the results of the past' two weeks plainly Indi cate. i - The Gorman rules for fighting may be all right for Germans, but some now rules of the game have been Introduced by the Yanks. It Is a possibility that other rules will he put In operation as the one big rule, of all is to defeat the enemy, and this can be done and will be done without violation of any ol the clean ethics of humane' treat ment of a defeated foe. ' In nil tho Jong term of schooling' by the Ger mans there lire things about war which they, are learning every day. 4 As an example of one style of American fighting, and effective fighting at. that, the, London new.i says: " "The Germans are now 'squealing about the effectiveness of the American fighting.' They have good reason to squeal. Tho Ameri cans are fighting In tho Indian fashion, where ,tho ' trenehos are abandoned. "The American army teaches men to fight In the open, to advance In short rush os, take ccvor, and ad vance nculn. This calls for disci pline of the highest degree, but no Irps for Individual courage and skill. The lesson wus first lnnrneJ from the Indians and was adapted to modern tnllltnry needs. "North of Chateau Thierry where the marines hunted the German nut of their machine gun pita it was shown how effectively this sys tem ran he employed against a foe who Is schooled differently. As now battle, lines are created thru forests and hills we may' expect to hear more of the American style of fighting." (1) llio I;"' oven Is en Weill drier.

Dehy drated foods are natural .products friim which the water only has been . removed. If the water Is restored the product returns to a condition eo closely approaching that of the fresh that whan' ookeil It Is In all essentials cnmparablo with the fresh. No chemicals are needed In the new process no sulphur to bleach or dye to Imitate the natural color. These products have been found by Department of Agrloulture experts to have the same nutritive value as the fresh and they aro . practically unaltered, when proper ly cooked. In physical texture and llt- tie effected In tatte. Army officers have Investigated these dried prod. , ucts carefully for barrack and camp life and considering them from all standpoints, testify almost unquali fiedly In their favor. Dietitians In hospitals commend the healthful- nsss. uniformity, and, palatablllty ol the dehydrated foods, even for In valids. The civilian popalatlon has found properly, dehydrated foods practically as good as i the ' tresis Vegetable for which they are sub stituted and more economical. The Subsistence Division of the Quarter master's Department of the Army has purchased several thousand tons of dehydrated product fee Use in France. . mi Dehydration reduces bulk! from one-third to one-flrth and weight from one-sixth to one-tweltlu . This process will conserve great quantities of vegetables and fruits that would otherwise go to waste. It win, through the use of meehanleal devices, eliminate waute from trim mlng, paring, coring, avoid unneces sary handling, and be an enormous saving In tonnage, and at the same time lose nothing la attractiveness and palatablllty. m Properly dried products keep1 In. definitely, If exoluded from moisture, as germs of decay cannot grow ea dry material and chemical changes take place In it with extreme alow' something of a wizard to build hap piness on Biich a foundation. , f: Many a millionaire, when III health or falling strength compels him to drop the pursuit that has absorbed all his llfu, thought and Interest, might be willing to give large sum to bo able to foel cheerful. To those, who think that getting ' rich is the main aim In life and tho highest achievement it must seem strnnge that a poor man should have cheerfulness to spare to a rich man. But Such is the way of the world. , The, most pre cious thtugs cannot be measured In money. Nor can money buy them. A dying man canant buy a laugh outright; but If ho can got tho laugh, It has its cash value jiist the same. Population of the Earth. In 1787 tho population of tho earth, according to Hutching, was about !. 000.000,000; In 1800, according, to Fnhrl and Stein, only 900,000,000; In 1833, according to Kteln nnd Ilorsehol man, 872.000,000. Tn 1858 Dlotrlol es tlmnted It at 1,200.000.000 and Kolb, In 180S, nt 1,220.000.000. According to the latest calculations tho earth Is In habited by 1,400,000,000 human beings.

The court said that It was Impossible to separate physical benefit from good cheer, nnd Hint while good cheer Itself might not have a definite price, the physical benefit resulting from It certainly has. The end of life devoted to iumo money-making Is nut usually a cheerful time, and the cheerful man who can keep such ono cheered and happy earns his pay. Ono must b? Automatic "Moi':es."
