Well, the farmer studies out how much to feed his stock, but the question of his family is not studied at all. Ani mals of themselves give injurious foods a wide path. Miss Morrell named the proteins, carbo-hydrates, fats and mineral matter. The proteins contain nitro gen and do for the body what the cover crops do for the land. They build tissues and are necessary to growth and repair. They are not needed in large quantities, however, and an excess of them makes trouble. Protein is secured from eggs, milk, cheese, oatmeal, wheat, ueas, beans, nuts, etc. .. The carbohydrates are what are generally known as starch and sugar foods, and may be taken more freely than the proteins. The fats produce heat and energy, ind there are two kinds, animal and vegetable. line animal lats are eraam, butter, lard, and vegetable ire olive oil, nuts and various oils de from cotton seed. Vegetable o:'s are more easily digested than animal fats and generally are cheap- Miss Morrell stresses water, light z i exercise also, saying that health d pended as much on observing sim t't rules as on anything else.

(By Associated Press) Atlanta, March 22. Examination of the effects of V. J. Pieczynski, and a German youth arrested here last night, today led government officers to investigate whether there has leen anything sinister in the move ment of several German hikers walk iag over the United States in the past two years and a half. The po lice say the men told them they were walking around the world to win a bet. It is believed that several such ledestrians are journeying from point to point. AT N DOES HONOR TO WORTHY WRIER 'Paris believes that the extraordi nary speed with which the French have advanced has disconcerted the German plans and rendered probable a continuation of the retiring move ment to the Belgian frontier. The official Berlin report throws no light on the situation, but it seems certain that a few days, or even hours must decide the fate of LaFere. The situation on the British front is rather vague, judging from offi cial reports. The latest reports from London say that General Haig has pushed ten miles east of the Somme at some points. Measured from the Somme this would put the British within four miles of the vital point of St. Quentin and this estimate is supported by reports from the front. Apparently the spasmodic fight ing in the Champagne and Verdun sectors has ceased for the time being, but important news comes from the far eastern field. The Russians have crossed into Mesopotamia from Pei sia while a second army has pushed out from Kermanshah to link up with the British north of Bagdad. This means that the retreating Turks are in a more serious position than when Bagdad fell. What may prove to be the opening of a German offensive on the Russian front is reported in today's Russian statement. The German attacTc was delivered on the northern end of the front in the region of Vilna. The Russian positions there were entered, but afterwards the Germans were driv-j en out. The Berlin official stateme:it re ports this move as a raid in force and does not mention the retention of any ground gained. The Russian position was penetrated as far as the second line and the raider3 re turned with 200 prisoners and two machine guns. The German statement reports the revival of activity on the Rumanian front with the Teutonic armies. Pet rogad speaks of Teutonic activity al ong the line of Southern Moldavia. The aerial and artillery arms of the service are intensely busy here as if in preparation for an infantry at tack. In the aerial fighting on the Brit ish front, a prince of the Prussian royal house apparently has been kill ed or captured. Berlin reports that an aeroplane which was piloted by Prince Fredrich Karl has failed to return from a raid over the British line between Arras and Peronne. (By Associated Press) New York, March 22.
