A wise mother does not allow her child to make a meal of any one arti- cle to the exclusion of all others, but insists that along with his eggs he shall eat bread and butter,.or along with his bread and butter: he shall eat meat or cheese, or that he drink a sufficient quantity of milk. In other words, she balances his ra- tion by seeing that each of the five' food principles makes a tair amount ; of each meal. Just what these proportions shall be, how much of the tissue building fool, or how much of the heat-produc- ing foods—the fats and oils—or how much of the work supplying food he shall have, will depend largely upon! the individual.

Too of- ten there is too great a consumption of the nitrogenous foods in compari son with the energy yielding — sub- to the combined amount of these two principles needed as compared with | the bulk of the meal that is neces- sary to insure satisfaction. Because of this many persons are habitually over-fed.

Von Papen and Boy-kd were sent home because some bit of information, dropped somewhere, put the secret service on the trail, The hiring of an expensive apartment by the Hindu physician, Dr. Chandra Chakraberty, and Dr. Ernest Sekunna, and their mysterious comings and goings, raised suspicion which put the authorities on the trail. For the past year the United States department of justice has worked in complete accord with the British agents in this country, The work has now been taken over by Bielaski’s division, and the British agents help. The one thing which makes it easier to deal with the German spy system than with ordinary criminals, is the extent to which the Germans go in for writing everything carefully on paper, Every German agent— from the waiters, barbers, bar-keepers and servants, up through the various grades to the top--is required to report to his superior in writing. the material they It is this work that causes the arrest of many, been said that the German espionage sys- tem so complete, that such details as the color of the hair and eyes of every important army and navy officer are on record in Berlin—but it is so inefficient that it leaves a trail almost everywhere it touches.
