More interest is taken in eating and drinking at this season of the vyear than any other. Hot weather invari- ably causes a seccssion in the habit of it brings of over-drinking.

For those r-drink, rroyiding the bever- over-eating as conversely about & seige those who over-eat there is any who ov. ages used contain protein in any quan- tity, there is also little hope of cst- Ing off weight. The question of how to grow thin, then, resolves itself into a very sim- ple formula: Eat less, arink less. Pointing out that among curious pop- ular fallacles is the idea that an indi- vidual may become obese without eat- ing too much and may remzin obese even when very little food 1s taken, Dr. Graham Lusk sets forth World's Work some enlightening formation for the American reading public. For instance: in in- If & person, each day eats a butter ball weighin; a third of an ounce in the food actually needed, it seems trifling, gnificant; a yeur it would involve a gain in weight of nine pounds of fatty tissue of in ten yvears ninety pounds. An otuince of bread. or half a glass of milk, more than the food requirement for the day will bring the result. Conversely, if the quantity taken be only slightly below the needs | of the body, some of the body's own fat is used and the body weight falls, a process which may be extended over only excess of in: but continued over about same of food a long period of time. How to grow thin, after ex- planation, seems an easy ts Eat only as much food as the body actual- ly requires, favoring the short ration system. Coupled with the hot weath- er, which in itself 1s one good reason for restraint in eating, there Is the nation-wide appeal for food conserva- desirious of this tion. Those whg are growing thin now need only answer the patriotic appeal of Herbert Hoov- er, the national food dictator. FACTS AND FANCIES.

And it was he who command- ed the 180-odd Marines of the Allied Relief column which paused one day for breath on the banks of the Peiho River. They had encountered over- whelming numbers of Chinese troops and had been driven backward. The railroad ahead of them had been torn up; Peking was in a state of seige, defended by a handful of Marines. It would be no easy t to transport the Allied column with its necessary supplies through an unknown and hostile country. So the leaders sat in conclave and they sat long, for it was a hard nut, indeed, to crack. At last “Tony” Waller Lecame impatient of delay and he rose to remark that on the route ahead of him were sev- enty-five Marines whom he had orders to relieve. The Allied commanders were tolerant. They, too, had men in the beseiged city whom they intended to relieve. But it was a question of ways and means as Major Waller must know. Once more they went at their discussions. “Well, gentlemen”, said “Tony” Waller, at that, making for the~door, “My orders are to proceed to Tien Tsin, and the United States Marines shove off tomorrow morning at six o'clock."” And he went out. Next morning the handful of Ma- rines “shoved off" at the time ap- pointed. And. inasmuch as it was plainly to be seen that “Tony" Waller was possessed of a devil that would not let him discuss ways and means but forced him to follow his nose to Peking, the Allies went along.— “Navy and Merchant Marine".

Subscriptions | to this issue must be made by Aug, 7 and payment for them will be due two days later, The volume of certificates is greater by $100,000,000 than previous monthly issues since the United States entered the War. The reason for this is the necessity to raise war funds over and above the regular allowances of crod- it to the Ally countries, according to the continued tentative program of fi nancial aid agreed to by this Govern- ! ment.

Crowder issued a ruling late yesterday that men who have married since July 20, the date of the army draft lottery, and who present exemption claims indicating that the marriage took place solely to evade the draft, render themselves liable to prosccution under the selective draft act. Wives who have married solely to help their husbands escape service are also subj to prosecution, ac- cording to this ruling. This official statement swer to the question, “Can a person married since July base a claim for discharge on that ground?” which has come from all sections of the country. The ruling follows: “Marriage is not of itself a valid | ground for making claim of discharge. “A man whose wife is mainly pendent on daily labor for | port may claim exemption on ground. But dependency is a matter of fact. The rule does not ask: ‘Is the husbhand. as a matter of law, lable to support the wife?" It asks: ‘Is the wife as a matter of fact malnly de- pendent on the daily labor of her hus- band for support? “Only the exempton hoards can de- | termine this fact.

There is no provision under the law by which medical students can he ex- empted or discharged, and service in Red Cross ambulance organizations is not a valid claim for exemption, be- cause such service is not military.

The house forelgn affairs committee reported favorably the Rogers resolu- tion, which would authorize Secretary TLansing to begin discussions with the allied nations on the alien guestion.

Press.) Copenhagen, July 20.—That 2,200,- 000 iron crosses of the second class and 49,000 of the first class have been awarded during the war is shown by announcements published in Berlin which have been received here. ot this number 3,680 were conferred upon individuals “behind the fromt,” but it is certain that the number of persons wearing the decoration who fire is even larger. The classification “behind the front” probably applies only to non- combatants engaged in war service, and not to individuals, like von Jagow and other civilians, who from time to time have been stationed at the main headquarters. A horde of wearers of the iron cross have been simply emploved at the headquarters and by the staff: never smelling powder unless perhaps it was | during the repulse of a long distance | airplane raid. As an example of the lavishness with which the crosses are handed out a correspondent of The Associated Press was present at a luncheon party of eight at the main headquarters in 1915, where the seven | Germans present all had been deco- rated and not a single one of them had ever been under fire. . During the Franco-Prussian war about one in every twenty partici- pants was given an iron cross, and except in the case of high military commanders and sons of royalty, it was awarded only for exceptional bravery in the field. The value of the iron cross now has become so depaseéd because of the vast quantities granted and the num- ber of swivel-chair heroes who have through their influence received them, that the establishment of a new order for valor is being talked of. Exchange of Prisoners. i London, July 25.—Commenting on the meeting of British apd German delegates at the Hagns, to consider re lating to prisoners, the “Law Journal” saysi— i It has always been understood | hitherto that the state of war oper- ates a complete severance of all re- lations between thz belligerents ex- cept that of pure force. This is the explanation of the commen practice, followed universally in the present war, whereby the belligerents deal with each other through the inter- vention of neutral powers. The pres- ent meeting is, it is suggested, with- out precedent in ths history of inter- operation between ally and the police, according to opin- ions expressed to the Assoclated Press by high officials of Scotland of the war Eng- lish police and military agents, who have to do with the gathering In of German ing suspiclous persons and, through this co-operation, have been enabled to apprehend many undesirable . and dangerous persons who otherwise might have been a large. Since the entry of the United States into the war English officials and officials of the United States depart- ment of justice have been co-operat- ing along these and other lines, and the American agents have been furnished with much informa- tion, not only in regard to persons but in regard to methods of catch- ing those who are working for Ber- lin. The compact wireless easily moved about and within con- tainers ‘that disguise its real nature, is to be especially guarded against, Scotland Yard feels. Considerable difficulty has been experienced here with the wireless, and the police now employ an instrument through the use of which these enemy instruments are detected. Scotland Yard is intensely interest- ed in the work that is being done in the United States to discover how the Germans found out when American destroyers were due in English wa- ters and how they discovered the lo- cation of the ocean rendevouz of the transports bearing the first American contingent. Obviously. the English say, German spies are in a position to become familiar with secrets in Washington and they are anxious to render any assistance they can to- ward weeding them out. Wholesale internment of Germans will not solve the problem. England has not interned all her German resi- | dents, but the police are absolutely | sure of the connections of these al- lowed to remain at large. : There is a general feeling in Lon- don that execution of the first sples | caught would go far in the United States toward persuading others, Ger- mans as well as neutrals, that such work s extremely hazardous. apparatus, spies, have received masses ' of information from citizens regard- | related | | ing the Mersey during the past year 1 886 tons last Year. j pational law.

ANNIVERSARY OF .. EXCHANGE CLOSING New York Market at Oiber Ei- treme Three Years Ago at v New York. Aug. 1.—Traders on the Stock Exchanges yesterday . recalled that the day was the third annivege sary of the closing of that institution on July 31, 1914, immediately fol- lowing Great Britain's entrance into the great war. Conditions presented a striking contract to those that pre~ valled on that memorable day. A half hour before the customary opening on July 31, 1914, the gov- ernors had sent the word widespread that the Exchange would remaip closed for an indefinite period. Actnal- ly the doors did net reopen until Dec. 12 following. The interval had been one of the most exciting in the fin- ancial history of the country. The closing of the Exchange had come after a week of panicky liquida- tion on the part of FEurope and the suspension of dealings at that time alone prevented financial chaos. r?n the three years that have elapsed this country has bought back from for- eign investors about $3,000,000,000 of securities, and it has in addition lent to foreign borrowaers, including tho Allles, over $3,000,000,000 in cash. Market Now Back on Feet. Thé investment markets are now in a highly stable condition. The greal industrial corporations of the country have built up an enormous surplus, and it has been reflected in a great rise in their securities. Bethlehem Steel, which was selling at $30 a share when the Exchange was closed, sold as high as $600 a share. Upited States Steel common, which was sell-, ing at 51 7-8 the day before the Ex- change closed, has sold as high as 136 §-8. American Locomotive, which sold at 20 1-4 three years ago, is now selling at 72 1-4. Baldwin Locomo- tive sold yesterday at 73, as compared with 41 on July 30, 1914. Many of these stocks, however. have shown wide variations in the meantime. There is no doubt that the greater number of the active stocks selling on the Exchange are in a very much stronger investment position than they occupied prior to the war. Their book values have in most instances shown enormous increases, and the best opinion is that yesterday's quo- tations have not discounted these val- ues. < GERMANS KEPT OFF SHIPS.
