HEAT TALK A NUISANCE. It is perhaps true that no man or woman is so miserable from the heat but he or she might find some one more miserable. And if you feel so hot that you think you would like to die, just reflect how much hotter you might be if you did. Of course it's hotYou know it; everybody knows it- So what's the use talking about it? What good can come of fuming and fretting over something that can't be helped? You only add to your discomfort by dwelling upon it. You only make your friends more miserable by piling your troubles upon their own- . The heat is one thing that will take care of itself without any word of advice or criticism from you- You may complain and whine all day long, making yourself all the hotter doing so. and the mercury in the glass won't .shrft the millionth fraction of a degree out of deference to you. So, it being generally and thoroughly understood that it is hot and that there is no help for it, why not forget about it, and be comfortable? The heat cannot bother you if you are not thinking about it. You will be "less likely to think about it if you don't talk about it. It is a fact that the busiest people, who ought to be hottest, really bear the heat best. That is because t&ey have something besides the heat to think about The instant you free your, mind from slavery to it the heat becomes powerless to oppress you. There are millions of people bravely bearing the heat, or rising mentally superior to it- Why not you? Can't you bear your little millionth part of the burden without making a fuss about it? You think you suffer unbearably from the heat, but what do. you really know about those who really suffer?

NEW TTAR NAMES. Kerensky, Michaelis and Venizelos! Admiral Grant, General Siebert.and Eric Geddes! Hoover, Crowder and Willard! They come out of the realm of obscurity todayWho will be up tomorrow, next week, next year? War is a great shuffler. , Just as likely as not the corner coal dealer may have shoulder straps or a cabinet Job six months hence.

"NOT TRADING AT HOME" IN GARY. Speaking about "trading at home" campaigns, the merchants will do well to beg:&at the city hall. Gary' TribuneThe merchants might begin at the city hall, but when there are elephants to shoot at they are not going after quail. Gary people get very' little chance to trade at home. For one thing a "great system of landlordism prevails at Gary and the rentals of a thousand houses go out of town. Then the sales proceeds from the largest property selling institution in Indiana go out of town- So does every dollar that Garyites give for gas, water and electricity. This might be said to be true of the telephone company, but it is not under the same large ownership as are other Gary enterprisesGary steel workers monthly produce millions of dollars worth of goods, but all this money is kept elsewhere save a little sent down to one bank, which is owned and directed from the same out of town sources- Even two of Gary's newspapers have their policies guided by out of town influences, and it is through the good will of these same interests that the editor of one of them has been able to engage in profitable land speculating enterprises. Not only is Gary's political machine directed from out of town, but those spasmodic periods of "reform" in politics, crusades against union labor under the guise of "bettering building conditions" or sequestering -fat sewer contracts by means of "bribery arrests" are out of town inventions. Most of the turmoil that has been stirred up in Gary has been of an out of town nature. And so it goes. How rampant the out of town affliction hits Gary may be shown that a group of men sitting around a directors' table in New York, nearly a thousand miles away, supervise the system of out of town landlordism in Gary, keep the people of the steel city not only from using but even seeing their lake front- How many of these men who run Gary ever spend a penny in the town, though they take millions out of it? In their generosity these same absentee landlords, besides barring Gary people from their seven miles of beach and from the advantages of their harbor, kindly let them have one use of Lake Michigan. That is, they let them buy from them its water at high rates, and the money of course going out of townAs the Tribune has said. Gary is in great need of "trade at home"

campaigns, but to march on the city hall would be amusing. There, are some gentlemen elsewhere to deal with, but if Garyites have to have heading their "trade at home" campaigns the same old crowd of men who are the satraps of the out of town bosses, the situation will be about ns fruitful as a Russian army heading to attack Germany with German generals in control.

NOW the spectacle of the pastors of churches being goaded by the Gary Post to preach reform sermons must seem amusing to the divines when they recall how narrowly the scribes and Pharisees of the Post escaped indictment on account of that gambling game in the paper's editorial sanctum.

NATIONAL BREAD ECONOMY WHAT IS MAN'S BEST FOOD? By Harry Everett Barnard, Ph.D. State Food and Drug Commissioner of Indiana, member of Indiana Stats Council of Defense, author and lecturer on food subjects.

Farmers feed their stock by rule and know to a fraction of a cent how much It costs them to produce a quart of milk or a pound of beef or pork. It is not possible to estimate in the same way the cost of feeding the human family, for the value of the product is determined by the ability of the consumer to do work instead of in increased weight. We have learned by many careful experiments just how much food It takes to keep the average man or woman in tealth and efficiency. And we know by analysis the value of our different foods in doing this important work. The tabla below lists the purchasing power of 10 cents spent for staple commodities. It also shows the amount of protein, fat and carbohydrates that each 10-cent portion of food furnishes, as well as Its energy or calorie value. Ten cents will buy:

Beef3teak (round)... Mutton chops (loin) . Hani Egg per doz., 36c. .. Eggs, per doz., t50c... Milk, quart, 10c Potatoes, bu., $1.20. . . Potatoes, bu., ?2.40 . . . Potatoes, bu., $3.60. .. Wheat bread Wheat bread

Vff?

Wheat flour

H. e. Barnard. -phe value of meats is also shown. Beef, even at the lowest price, costs most. This is due to the fact that it is less fat. But what it lacks In fat it gains in protein content. The most striking thing in the table is the fcreat value of bread. Ten cents spent for bread, even at its present high price, will buy 1,500 calories of energy; nearly five times as much as can be bought as steak, and six times as much as when spent for eggs. Bread tdda'y is cheaper than potatoes at normal prices. Indeed, it is our cheapest staple food. But better than that, it is the best balanced food we can buy at any price. With the exception of milk, it is the only food listed that contains protein, fat and carbohydrates in well-balanced proportions. Whether wheat is cheap or dear, bread at almost any price is cheap food when compared with meat. There is no denying the fact that the well-fed man is a lover of good bread. The stale bread delusion has cost the consumer as well as the baker, a great deal of money. It is foolish besides. When bread is first baked, it contains nearly 30 per cent of moisture. After a time some of this water escapes. The bread dries out, or as the baker says, "goos stale." As a matter of fact, the bread isn't stale, it Is just as wholesome, junt as sweet, just as satisfactory as the moment when it left the oven and every loaf that is returned to the bakery to be fed to horses by that much increases the cost of bread. Bread three days old, when properly kept, is just as good as when a day old. Why shouldn't it be? Bread baked in the home is always used up before the next baking. It doe3 not dry out because it is wrapped and placed in a bread box. where its moisture content is conserved. The average housewife doesn't like to cut her homemade loaf until it is a day old, for its texture is then firm, instead of spongy. Because bread is such a wonderful food, it Is the first thing to which the government turned in the accounting of our supplies necessary because of the present war. For two years the world has produced less wheat than it has eaten, and this is why far-seeing men at the head of the government are urging the most careful economy in the use of bread stuffs, so that we may have the maximum quantity to send across to those who are doing the fighting in the great war. Today there can be neither excuse nor tolerance for the waste of a crumb of bread. Housewives must look to their larder. Bread that is eaten is put to its best use, but bread that Is wasted In times like the present becomes party to a crime. In cooking, the use of toast for a garnish or decoration, unless it is eaten, should be discouraged. Cutting more bread than the family will consume at a meal, is wasteful. Crusts and crumbs must be carefully saved and untilized in other dishes. Only by such practices instituted at once can the United States hope to escape the necessity of dark, coarse breads, that are being eaten in Europe and generally known as "war bread."

This table is full of surprises. The first is the great diiTerence in food value of staple foods. We see at a glance that potatoes at 30 cents a peck (until this year an unheard-of price) are much cheaper than eggs at Sfi cents a dozen.

by w. s. roaxtrsT (United Press StaS Correspondent.) PARIS. June 25 (by mail). Gare du Nord is the great railroad station of Paris through which American troops will pass on their way to and from the front. General Pershing and his start had. their first glimpse of Paris through its big front door, ' ' Otherwise It is the happiest and saddest p:ace in the French metropolis. The happiness Is made in America. The sadness Is, of course, the war. If the, American women could see the results of the handy bags they sew and send to France and the money they collect in America to cheer the soldiers at the Gare du Nord they would feel justly compensated for every cent and every nour of work. In a great hall in the basement of the station French poilus. gather to be entertained by vaudeville artists and to have luncheon furnished by Madame Couicol, a benevolent French woman wlio assures America that American soldiers will be Just as welcome. The men are leaving for the front passing back to the firing line. When the luncheon is finished the work of tens of thousands of American women Is handed to the soldiers by kindly faced American women in1, Paris doing the work of the American Fund for French Wounded. These include Mrs. Mary Eeech Needham. wife of the late American writer, and Miss Brant of Chicago. Hundreds ot "tiu-k bags" sewed and provisioned in every state of America are handed to the eager Poilus. Big strong men, who know that within twenty-four hours thy will be back fighting death in the firing line almost weep and bless the American women. The bags contain what-nots of everv description needles, thread, soap, towI els, tooth brushes and paste and hun dreds of things that cheer men cursed with almost three years f war. On the night the French Poilu received his first message direct from General Pershing and was introduced to the American officer, the United Press saw what kindly American women were doing to cheer the soldiers of France. Captain N. E. Margetts. Aide-de-Camp to General Pershing and Major Churchill, of the general staff, repre- ! sented the American army. Four hun dred and fifty Poiius, cheered the American officers and American women until their throats were tired. "Vive l'Amerique." "Vive le General fersning. lve la .trance, came i from all the 450 throats. "Vive Everybody," shouted one old pollu after the others had finishedCaptain Margetts told the soldiers in slow careful French that General Pershing, like all America, admired them for the valorous fight they had made for nearly three long years. "We are with ygu until the finish," Captain Margetts said. General Pershing asks you to continue the struggle until the American comrades arrive and fight by your aide." Then came the American "tuck bags." Eag;r uniformed arms reached for the treasures. Scemama Elie, a big handsome blond Zouave, who has been through hells of fire dozens of times, wrote his name on a slip of paper and asked the United Press to thank Miss Ruth Fry-ling, Concorde, North Carolina, for the bag she she sent "to some unknown soldier." He cannot use the two boxes of face powder, but he'll send them to a girl he knows, while he'll enjoy Hie other things the bag contained. Elie wrote his "front" address as follows: "Sc.emma Elie, 4e Zouaves, Compagnie Mitrailleurs du4e Batalllon Sector Postal 131." Katheryn H. Shay, 814 South University street. Ann Arbor.
