UNITY. """"When we'romo to celebrate this festival," said the presiding officer ..f rh? recent celebr.Uion of the Norwegian national anniversary in Minnesota, "it is not to create a miniature .Norway in America. We are here only to remind ourselves of dear old Norway. If an attack upon American freedom should come, you and all other Norwegians would do your share that this nation may continue to he the exponent of liberty, independence and democracy." That is the true spirit of Americanism. And it is typical of assurances coming from many sections of the country iuul ma'uy elements of our population. The confusion into which the nation was thrown for a time by conflicting war sympathies and old world prejudices is ivin way to a new, clear patriotism. And instead of a 'miniature Norway," a miniature Germany, a miniature Knidand and Italy and Poland and Seriua and '.recce, we tind all the racial groups combining in spirit to form a greater and stronger nation, just as our original uarrelling colonies combined to give us ur political organization. We have long been the "t'nited States;" now we are becoming what is more important than that a "united people."

THE HOUSING SURVEY. Whether or not the announcement of Health Officer r.osenbury that the South Bend housing and sanitary survey is to be turned over to a government agent or may be turned over to a government agent, is a move proposed for the purpose of delay, we will not attempt to guess. The .vin of such 3. guess might be unpardonable. Ve are told that it is merely because local people cannot be trusted to do the job, and the government agent cannot be secured until later. "It will be three or four months before we can get htm." sas the health officer June, July, August, maybe September. Then "we can have him for three or four month.-, if necessary." he continues, which means October, November, Dezember, and possibly January. Then the government agent will take two or three additional months in preparing a report, perhaps, running largely to the demonstration of his literary talents, and after February. March and probably April, if not May, we will get manuscript for a little booklet telling of his di.-coverus arid re ommendations. By this process the results of the suive will be at hand jut in time for Mayor Keller to have it to spout about during the next municipal campaign, tilling of the wonders of It, with-

MORE HEALTH FOR LESS MONEY. Mei.t is dear, and going up pretty steadily. We can no longer afford to rat meat as we used to. That is generally regarded as a misfortune. And yet, according to a scholarly work on diet written by I'rof. Chittenden of Yale university, it may be a blessing in dissuise. In the profeor's opir.ion. such deprivation,

i whether voluntary or enforced, brings better health

and greater v i'-or and efficiency. Here is the theory, as worked out and substantiated by Prof. Chittenden in a series of elaborate experiments.

Foods, as anybody knows who has looked irto the ;

diet question at all, are divided into three c! sses: First, proteids. represented chiefly by meat, fish, milk, and egg; second, starches and sugars, represented chiefly by the grains and vegetables; third, fats. Proteid is needed for bodily growth and repair work. It is the stuiT of which the cells and tissues are built. Starch and sugar furnish the fuel that heats the body and provides energy for work. Fat serves about the same purpose, hut is more concentrated and less easily assimilated. Of the three classes of food, proteid is the most Important. Without It the maintenance of life is impossible. Rut a llttlo proteid goes a long way. Prof. Chittenden finds that most of us eat from two to four times as much as we need. The surplus is not merely waste-1, but imposes on the body the needless burden of digesting it and then getting rid of it. That burden falls chiefly on the kidneys, and is a big contributing cause of kidney diseases. Furthermore, the stuffing of the body with expensive proteids fills it full of clinkers," making the victim "dopy," impairing his strength and lowering his general power of resisting disease. The thing to do, says Prof. Chittenden, is not to "cut out meat" but to eat less meat and other proteid foods, and make up for it if necessary by eating more of the fuel-producing cereals, vegetables, etc. He insists, however, that in nearly every case the total food consumption can profitably b reduced. In his own experiments with several groups of men representing various occupations, lasting over several months, he found that almost without exception as the quantity of food eaten was reduced to what would ordinarily be considered a "starvation diet," the men not merely kept their weight, but actually gained a little. And what was more important, they doubled their physical strength or working capacity, and "felt better than they ever had felt before." The sum.Tter Is a good time to try out this theory. If we can double our energy and save money at the same time, merely by giving a little attention to diet, why not do it?

Tin: xi-rr hating. The month of .Tun enjoys a wide and worthy reputation Ab furnishing the date for Fannies wedding celebration. It leTds eleven other months for Cupid's execution; It constitutes a permanent and proper institution; For it s a truth so true that it is needless to be stated Tha. many pairs are better off the moment they are mated. Hut lots of knots are tied with much formality, and tightly. Of which the consequence is far from rapturous and sprightly. The rolling-pin and frying-pan are thrown with indiscretion. The family Is as warlike as a parliament in session, J'efying all the palliative, pacifying labors 'f barristers and ministers, of relatives and neighbors. So June may well be modest, unpretentious and sober And flaunt no high and haughty airs with August or October; For though as the official month of mad and merry mating It's well entitled to receive its high class AAA rating, Insert et im cstigatton, if. impartially protracted. l.):sclofes heavy debits which should duly be exacted.

inconvenienced by attempting to cor

rect th various conditions of which it may complain. Which is about our opinion of the survey, and what it will amount to in the end. While it may be true that local people could not be secured t do the job, who could be trusted, it may be too. that perhaps they could not bo tru.-ted the light -vav. The complaint that they would have their lo.-al friendships and prejudices, that mi-zht incline them to overlook certain places, can just as k -utim.iw ly be answered that perhaps they could not le trusted to observe the friendships and partialities of admiiusti ativ e superiors, at least, without complaining. This turn of things mere! serves to confirm a suspicion. That the survey was so readily adopttd by the administration, may or may not have been because It could so easily be empbned as a Vehicle of delay. But survey or no survey, and completed this 3 ear or ne.vt. .t does not lescn the present desirability that

THE NATION ENTITLED TO IT. Sen:. Phelan. Smoot, Alden Smith and others make up a galaxy that recently not next week, but last, held up the l S. senate floor with speeches for a government expenditure of $20,000 on a ship channel in San Diego bay, and their remarks are thus summed up: "San Diego has never had what it was entitled to." Fact is, San Diego has never been entitled to a cent. Hut it is this miserable notion that a town or a community is "entitled" to something from the national purse that curses with the odor of unssalted raw hog even every worthy government enterprise of the nature of river or harbor improvement. San Diego harbor, with the legitimate improvements by the city, can accommodate all the San Diego commerce that comes her way. The nation may need San Diego bay for naval and other government purposes. If it does, it should spend the necessary money for these things because the people oi the whole nation are entitled to it, and not because, in cutting up he "pork," San Diego is politically or geographically deserving of a slice of the rind. San Diego bay and environments are by nature fitted for great government uses. That a body of senators can see little in the proposed improvements save the usual division of "pork" is unfortunate. It is making .1 fine national purpose emit a very obnoxious stench.

WAIIS IN COST OF HUMAN VALl'MS. (New York World.) The latest estimates of the dead and permanently incapacitated from the war are 2.000.000 for the entente countries and 1,950,000 for the Teutonic allies. The proportions to total population are 0.7 per cent for the entente countries and 1.4 for their enemy. The greatest sufferers are Austria-Hungary, with 1.7 per cent; Germany, 1.5 per cent, and France, 1.3 per cent. These figures lead Collier's to the conclusion that "talk about a wasted and devastated Kurope is not. warranted by the facts." This is a consideration merely of the economic consequences of loss of life and permanent disability from the war. It is not to be disposed of so lightly as our neighbor concludes. The war remains, relatively speaking, the most destructive to the economic populations involved which is known to modern times. If the entire army with which Frederic the Great entered the seven years' war had been completely wiped put and put underground in the first year and a half of Uie struggle, the loss relative to population would hive been no greater than Austria or Germany or France has already suifered in human values from this war. And Frederick's losses were very far from being total. There was not a time in the Napoleonic wars, on either side, when the armies in the field totalled as large a percentage of the populations involve 1 as the estimated dtad and wholly disabled alone already total for the three countries mentioned. And we rightly think of those wars as verv devastating to L u rope. Collier's is doubtless right in saying that even another year of war may leave the belligerents "strength enough for rapid economic revival." The recuperative powers of humanity from great disaster have always proved amazing. But for modern times the unprecedented waste of life and devastation from this war must be admitted.
