Now, there are two playing the game. % that AN ANNIVERSARY. One hundred and forty Jears ago today the Marquis de Lafayette sailed from France to America- He came, in Largely through the efforts of this gallant Frenchman, Washington. the father of his country, was enabled to bring the infant America through its first great fight.. Democracy tri- umphed, autocracy was vanquished. The House of Brunswick went totter- {ng and a new Republic found its place in the sun. One hundred and forty years ago today was a momentous one in the career of this nation. That day saw the start 6f a career'that is ever to be held sacred in this country. On this anniversary day the American people in New York and other great cities of the United States are pledg- ing their love anew to the memory of the gallant Lafayette. They are cementing further the bonds of friend- ship that exist between France and They are plighting Republic. the United States. their troth to a sister France, forever and a day! It is more than coincidence that on this very day, set aside in honor of the great Lafayette, there should be on American soil one of the great- est Freth Generals of all time, the Hero of the Marne. Marshall Joffre's reception in the nation’s capital, yes- terday. when as a member of\ thé French mission he game to offer his services to this countrd, was an event that will be.long remembered by those who saw it, and those who read of it. Just as Lafayette came to this coun- 4ry one hundred-and forty years ago. so Joffre comes to this nation today. As we cannot forget Lafayette, we must not forget Joffre and why he is here. FOOD SAVING. 'r'hysicnuns of London have re- marked upon the condition of those people who curb their appetites and eat but two meals a day. According 10 the medical authorities the people of London and all England are de- veloping into a better physical class because of this, in many cases, en- forced economy. It is now suggested thag the American people will be bet- | ter off .‘when .they get.dawn to a war ‘basis for foodstuffs. Three meals a day is a_habit, say the physicians of England. Break- ing the fast of the night is a sensible as well as a necessary custopn. Eat- ing a heavy meal in the middle part of the day, however. is at once an extravagance and a burden on the sys- tem. A light collation is all that is neceded to tide the body over the in- terim between breakfast and the meal later in the day. The two meal day is rapidly coming in America. Already.many New York business men have ceased, the prac- tice of a heavy noon-day lunch. A cup of coffee and a light sandwich is all that is required to keep the ma- chinery of. the body in working condi- tion. At night a heavy meal is in order. Following this practice the nation will soon learn Anothn way of saving’ food.

AS SOON AS THE YOUNG soldier has learned how to stand cor- rectly he must learn how to step and to walk.

If he steps badly, walks on his heels, has flat' feet, bow-legged, or. handicaps the work of his members with any unnatural position or strain, then he will not last in the ‘march. He will | keel fover by the roadside becausg his | muscles cannot stand the additional i and unnecessary tasks put upon them. ! All a soldier's work is figured. on i a basis of the normal man’s capacity. The normal manls capacity is like- wise fizured on the possibilitics of the naturab—and normal—use of the muscles.
