Who says so? Dr. Thomas M. Carpenter, phys- iological chemist of a Boston nutrition la3ora- tory. 5 The desk worker, Carpenter says, needs more meat to keep him warm. Thus he artificially secures the necessary heat which the hod-carrier and wood-sawer generate by muscular effort. The Carpenter line of thought,is that food, in the last analysis, bears the same relation to the body that coal does to a furnace. Heat is the ulti- mate object. van a stenographer live on chocolate sundaes and candy,?..Some of them come close to demon- strating it in. the affirmative. feat, Back of all this is heavy science, expounded by Dr. Carpenter, as follows: A normal stenographer, during the course of a day, uses up 2222 calories. That is the aver- age. The girl who types by the touch system needs fewer calories than the typist who attacks the keys like a chicken picking up corn, and ac- cordingly should eat less. Gum chewing uses up a terrific amount of en- ergy, which requires heavier. eating than in the case of a chicle abstainer. A lunch, consisting of a cholocate sundae. and some candy, furnishes the typist 1500 calories, or more than ‘a third as much as a hard-working carpenter requires daily. : Topping off this interesting discourse, Dr. Car- penter figures scientifically that a sundae, if thoroughly absorbed by the system, has.a cal- orific heating power sufficient to raise a ton of coal three stories. | While it might be'wise for people without cast- iron stomachs to take some of this food science with a grain of salt, it recently was expounded as gospel ‘by Dr. Carpenter before the Harvard Medical School. The important fact is that scientists are final- ly beginning to get at “original truth” in the mat- ter of diet, and that some of the accepted notions about fcod values may be due for an explosion. Until the investigation is nearer completion, a good average rule is to keep in mind the old say- ing that most of us dig our graves with our teth. ——S+___.

STORIES Undaunted by previous failures in filming Bible storie#—or perhaps unaware of them—an Amer- ican motion picture producer has taken a group of Hollywood actors to Jerusalem to play the lead; ing parts in a film play dealing with the life of David. It is reported that a love story has al- ready been incorporated in the film version of David’s career about the time he had his encoun- ter with Goliath. The love story and the fight with Goliath should be enough to jazz the story up for the standards of American film: tastes as the producers interpret them, their test being the box office receipts—a fair test as tests of popular taste go. ‘ David’s fight with the giant, is, however, hope- lessly out of date. Instead cf downing Goliath with a stone and so winning the hand of the fair heiress or sales agency stenographer. the produc- ers may incorporate several helpful hints to young men aspiring to success in the business world. Add to this as much as the censors will pass, and the film should be a success, both artis- tically and, since there will be no expense for au- thor’s royalties, financially. Again, it may be that the American company now in the Holy Land is under the direction of a mind trained in the dramatist’s art, saturated with the traditions of sound taste and moral restraint, and imbued with a highsvegard for the Bible as the Book. If so, the American people may in time go to see the great story, done.in, pictures with a clean consicence.

To the BMitor, Tribune: ; “fo the Men and Women of North Da- kota: i It has come to my attention that op- Position is being made to Senator P. J.

Senator) umber as been-through- out his long career a bulwark of pa- triotismjand 100:per cent Americanism, He has ¢onsistently stood for the best interest of his state’and the nation. In returning him, the state of North Dakota will have a representative who stands high in the councils of his par- ty and in the respect of the nation. His knowledge of finance has won him |) the admiration of all in Washington, where experts in finance are by no means few or rare. As the daughter or a captain in the Civil War, I cannot refrain from point ing out how Senator McCumber, has loyally and enthusiastically supported throughout ‘his long service the pen- sion bills and other measures for the relief of the old soldiers, their widows and orphans. It was through ihis man- ly efforts that the pension bill giving the old soldiers $50 a month and their widows $30 a month was passed last session. In this bill the blind and help- less’ children of soldiers are for the first time adequately provided for. Senator ‘McCumber hag never missed a roll-call nor an opportunity to be friend the men who fought for their country, and their loved ones. I appeal to the men who have fought for their country, in whatever war it may have been. and to the wives and sisters and brothers, sons and daug')- ters, fathers and mothers of all such, to return to ‘this post of usefulness in the United States senate the man who the nation’s\defenders’ and their fam- ilies; for the honor, and welfare of the state of ‘North Dakota, and for the in- tegrity, progress and prosperity of the United: States. ‘A vote for Senator P.
