But this is not the case. The foods used are as varied as the nations taking part in the world conflict. Some of the strangest foods, from our point of view, are used by the armies fighting the farthest away from us. The troops of the Chinese republic, now aasisting the Allies in clearing the Bolsheviki and freed Ger- man prisoners from Siberia, carry thelr tea much more compactly than do the armies of Britain, Each Chinese soldier has a hard cake of tea from which he breaks off a bit when- ever he has lelwure to brew himself a As the Chinese use neither milk, sugar nor lemon in tea the conven- fence of this arrangement can be readily seen. Compressed puffed rice bricks also are used by Asiatic troops, both Chinese and Japanese. These can be carried in the pocket and eaten om the march much as we nibble cakes of popcorn, Another Asiat delicacy ts the sun-dried goose giz- zard, ‘These gizzards are first opencd, the contents cleaned out, and then the gizzards are dried by exposure to the sun until they have hardened But these can bo eusily softened by soaking in water and then boiled. They are rich in protein and highly sustaining. Mor unknown centuries before the war these gizzards we! considered @ first ¢lass travel food among Asiatics.

They also have a sort of shalegagnannn | CAM trult auger 1a bass, All these | Eastern sugars have a stronger flavor of the cane than do the sugars used here. The Arab forces now assisting the British carry, among other things, sausages made of goat's meat. These are preserved without salt, but a pure dark red wine is used which natur- ally gives this dainty @ vinous odor and flavor. The Koran or sacred book of the Mohammedans forbids the use of wine or any intoxicating beverage as a drink but not as a pre- servative. The Arabs also carry a kind of dry date which never reaches jour markets, These are cleanly to handle, not at all sticky, and can be carried loose in the pocket as easily as marbles. From this kind of date is made the famous “gur’ or date sugar of Bagdad which comes in a | hard pancake. Oysters dried in the sun and strung on @ splinter of bamboo are carried by some of the soldiers of Turkey now fleeing the Arab forces, These ters are often suspended about the neck. When hungry all that is neces- sary is for the soldier to b: off and eat it. They are nourishing than appetizing. —_—>_—— oys- $395 ’ YOUR BIT OF LIBERTY LOAN.

Put it in the pot! A Series of Plain Talks to Parents By Ray C., Beery, A. B., M. A., Pres. of the Parents’ Association What Do You Do When Your Child Disobeys? N a@ train not long ago @ man O and his wife were entertaining some other passengers with a tin cup and their baby, which per- haps was about a year old. After giving the child @ drink’ the cup was set on the window sill. Little Jimmy soon managed to knock it off. Of course it made a splendid noise, The young father picked it up and At the same time advised Jimmy that he shouldn't have done it. But Jimmy must have misunderstood, because in @ moment we again heard the beauti- ful vibrations of the tin cup. Then something happened. ‘The mother noticed that other passen- gers were amused—supposedly at the cute and unusually clever child—and of course she, too, thought it was quite a stunt for the child to manage to get the tin when the father was trying to keep it out of reach, ‘The by laughed with glee on seeing the ther smile, and the father also " sught the spirit, and so the cup feil n the floor about every “twelve telegraph poles’ for the next tow nutes The end of the story is more inter- The father suddenly became very stern and tried to hold Jimmy, But Jimmy squealed and began to strike at bis father, ruffling up his hair, ‘This, of course, was followed quite naturally by a spanking, thus ending the scene with a orying spell. That incident was amusing—and , in a was a tragedy. his child in effect was given a most impressive lesson in disobedience, In the future he will receive many whip- pings intended to teach him obedt- ence, but all the whippings put to- gether will not counteract the effect of a few such lessons as that de- soribed. lmughing at disobedience {6 a crime, Many persons baye pointed the finger of shame at a youth or young ian having committed some crime, who wero themsvives partially responsible without knowing it, Child training is not such @ haphazard sort of thing after all, One child through inheritance may be harder to contro! than another, but wise training will count, | So many cases come to ny atten- | tion in which the child has the habit of laughing when spoken to, For example, ono mother writes to.

It 18 absolutely essential to see that he receives no further impressions in this direction, After definitely deciding you want him to do a certain thing do not ask him if he wants to at all. For ex- ample, if you are going to town, sim~ ply make preparations to go, » Let him see that you are getting ready and announce to him beforehand something like this: “We are going to town this morning; you oan play a little while and I shall tell you when I am ready.” Do not start to offer any reasons why he should want to go; simply assume he is going, If he should offer any objections do not make any reply to them at all, I find that many parents are inclined to weaken at thig point, They start to arguing the case, But this is wrong from the standpoint of securing obedience, You cannot got a child to obey: you in @ really satisfactory way unless he js friendly, ‘Therefore pay special attention to gaining and keeping the good will of the child, Your firm atti- tude of expectancy then will have greater effect, Copyright, 1918, The Parents’ Amocistion, Inc,) pH EE, NEWEST THINGS IN SCIENCE.
