i About two generations were' ro-
qulrsd for ' Ilia Oonnan militarists
lo perfect tho , science .of war, and
In building up the' fighting -machine;
tho boat part of tho youthful
period of the1 young -', me,n's Uvea
was wasted in such things as prac
tice of the goose step and other
parts of the military manual, which
now seems doomed to the discard.
The American soldier, with ; but
about a year of training is meet
ing the seasoned veteran of the
IViissinn army and i more, than

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."

The , principle of dehydration
particularly as applied to fruits has
been known throughout the ages;
but application of that principle In
a thoroughly satisfactory way Is a
very recent development. 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

sary handling, and be an enormous
saving In tonnage, and at the same

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.

that It was Impossible to separate

might not have a definite price, the

"Talk loss and sny more," is the ad
vice given to n group of girls: No one
expects a girl's conversation to be pro

no doubt that more thinking before

Searching for Franklin.
Sir John Franklin, the celebrated
Arctic explorer, .started on his last
voyagu Muy 17, 184.1. Thirty-nine re
lief expeditions, public and private,
were sent out from England and Amer
ica In ten years to search for Sir John.
By one of these expeditions, sent by
l.mly Franklin, traces of the missing
ship were found and its fute decided.
., Shrines to Foxss.
There are numberless shrines In
Japan dedicated to foxes. The badger
is nnolhcr nnlmnl feared by tho super
Milieus Japanese mind. It Is believed
to have power to annoy people, nnd to
bo nble to turn Into n priest nt will.
The crying of wensles and the baying
of dogs arc considered evil omens, and
such Insignificant happenings send a
shudder .through tho believers.
