The action of the Bork is probably the only thing that can show that it is tiring of the food being furnished.

Knowing the proportions of these ele- ments of the foods nvnilsble it is then possible to proportion the quen- tities so as to get the results. Often the use of just one other product will correct the balance to bring real good results, where for lack of something to correct the missing required ele- ments only loss can result. A balanced ration can usually be arrived at for almost nny purpose with the readily available products as a base to work on, adding anything having the elements in right propor- tion that can be secured to fill in what is required. Palutableness makes more difference than some imagine, and Although a ration may be balanc- ed fairly well the birds may not take to it, and in consequence cannot se- cure the nutrient values in tsufficient quantities to give the desired results. Sometimes a change becomes neces- sary merely to vary the monotony of Quantity is also a neceuary con- sideration. and if the breeder knows what each fowl should receive he is better able to be sure they are receiv- ing all that is necessary or getting more than they should.

In one cane an Eskimo on the Is- land of Disco in Western Greenland consumed in one day nearly four pounds of boiled meat, corresponding to 85 grams of nitrogen and 218 grams of fat. This is said to be far below the record figure among these people, who eat very large meals at irregular and somewhat infrequent in- tervals. Human Organiam's Adaptability ls Shown by Research. Two studies recently made by Euro- pean scientists illustrate the range in nutritive conditions to which the hu- man being can adapt himself. Indigestion and other nutritive dis.. orders, however, are rare among them, and their physical endurance and resistance to cold is very high. The way the above extraordinary meal was utilized by this Eskimo was found to be very satisfactory. The other study was of a man in Copenhagen "who was able to main- tain himself in excellent nutritive equilibrium and muscular efficiency through long periods of months, not merely days, on a diet essentially composed of potatoes and margarine." Four pounds of potatoes were eaten daily, yielding 3.62 grams of diges- tible nitrogen, which, with the mar- garine, amounted to 3,900 calories. When hard work had to be perform: ed this man ate eight pounds of pota- toes, with liberal additions of fat, so that the entire energy content was brought up to 5,000 calories with 10 grams of digestible nitrogen. No di.. lation of the stomach was found to re- sult from these monster meals. Such curiosities of the literature of nutrition simply show the great adap- tability of the human organism which has enabled man to live in every re- gion of the earth. It is needless to say that neither the maximum nor the minimum of any nutritive element is desirable. The normal individual lives in the safe medium. postulated Dumas.

French Noble-an Served in Famous London Restaurant. Cooking, or the compounding of sal- ads and sauces, has the authority of historic precedent as a suitable hobby for French gentlemen of distinction. It was fashionable among the aristo- cracy in court circles before the Revo- lution, and became of essential service to more than one noble fugitive from the Terror during his exile. One young nobleman, after narrowly ea- caping the guillotine, hid his great name under an alias, and served for several months as an assistant in a famous London restaurant, where he was soon given entire responsibility for the minced meats, entrees, and regents. After the partial restora- tion of his fortunes, he delighted in telling the story of his adventures, always concluding with a phrase that may perhaps best be rendered: "Bo, you see. I disappointed them finely-the Sans-culottes. By the chopping knife they would have had me die, and behold.' by the chopping knife I lived!" MAN CAN LIVE ANYWHERE.

He 'was the son and heir of Viscount Clifden and represented a Cornish constituency in the House of Com- mons. He was a member of an in- separable trio consisting of Neil Prim- rose, Earl Rosebery's second son. and Jimmy Rothschild. Captain Robartes was the Corinthian of the House of Commons, and his naivete in speaking [was greatly enjoyed. He frequently lbroke the rigid etiquette of the House Lord Cowdray, the head of the fam- ous firm of Weetman-Pearsons, so prominent in the oil fields of Mexico, lost his third son, the Hon. Francis Pearson, who enlisted as a private, was taken prisoner, and shot while trying to escape. The death of Captain the Hon, R. Wyndham, heir presumptive of his brother, Lord Leconfield, the nephew of Lord Rosebery, makes the third member of the Wyndham family to fall in the war. Boys Inherit Titles. l The havoc that this war has playedl with the aristocracy may be best in-'; dieated by a partial list of members: of prominent families killed, includingl Lord S. D. Compton, a lieutenant iii) the Royal Horse Guards, brother and I heir presumptive of the Marquis of Northampton; Capt. M.

Colwyn Phillips,' elder son of Lord St. Davids, was an: early victim of the war. His brother; Roland, who is now sole heir, is ", lieutenant in the cavalry. a When the Earl of Erne died his son and heir, Major Viscount Crichton, who had been equerry to the King, was reported to have been taken prisoner in Germany. Later inform- ation showed he died from wounds about the same time as his father. Viscount Crichton left a son born in 1907, who at the early age of eight years has become the Earl of Erne. Through the death of Viscount Northland, the only son of the Earl of Ranfurly, the heir to the earldom is Nurthland's little baby, born in May of this year. Lord Northland came into notoriety some years ago by being named as the correspondent in a sensational divorce case. Lord Kinnaird lost his eldest sun, Capt. Douglas Kinnaird, while an- other son is serving in the army. Lord Balfour of Burleigh's eldest son, the Hon. Robert Bruce, the mas- ter of Burleigh, was killed, and his brother is with the colors. Picturesque Figures. The death of Lord Anncsley result- ed from his being shot through the head while making a brilliaht aero- plane attack upon Ostend. Another pathetic case is that of Captain Lord Guernsey, whose little son Michael, born in 1908, becomes the heir to the earldom of Aylesford. Lord Ninian Crichton-Stuart has lost his life in the war, w brother to the Marquis of Bute, When Capt. Charles Monek was killed his nine-year-old son became heir to his grandfather, Viscount Monck. Lord Killanin's heir is now the baby son of Lieut.-Coh S. H. Morris, who was killed some months ago. Lord Congleton is succeeded by his brother, the Hon. John P. Parnell, a lieutenant in the army. and heir to the title is his brother William, who is 11 yearsrof age. How heavily the titled families have contributed themselves to this eontiiet may best be imagined when it is stated that 213 peers and 424 sons of peers are already serving with the colors. Brothers of peers, baronets, and knights who have either been killed or wounded number a great total. Fifty sons of peers have been kill- ed and the number wounded is in the hundreds. .. Nearly thirty heirs to peerage: have been killed and almost as many wounded. Six peers have already been killed, namely, Lords Congleton, Huwarden. Brabourne, Annesley, De Freyne, and Petre. Already five peerages are without heirs in remainder through the war, namely, the marquesate of Lincoln.. shire and the baronies of Knares- borough, Playfair, Ribblesdale, and Stamfordham. An illuminating illustration of this fact was given recently when the members of the much abused House of Lords refused to pass a motion au- thorizing the return from the front of those of its members who had gone to the firing line. Sole heirs, eldest sons, youngest sons, fathers, and brothers of the greatest and most famous English families went to the front " the very onset and are now in the trenches in France and at the Dardanelles or on the high seas. There can be no doubt that the peer of England is paying toll, not less willingly, but even far more than the men of the working classes. NOBHITY HARD HIT BY THE WAR The old French adage "rtobietsse ob- lige" has never been more true than now, as has been clearly demonstrate ed by the part played by the aristo- cracy of Great Britain in the present war. No recruiting officers, no hands, no parades have been needed to bring the sons of the finest families of Brit- ain to the colors. They have rallied, fought, and fallen in so great num- bers that there is practically not a noble house in all the United King- dom to-day which is not mourning.

The man was Charles Far- mer. a hero of the Crimean war, who had been out of the army for 44 years. It occurred to him recently. after hearing some of Lord Derby's emis.. saries that in spite of his age he was a pretty ht young fellow. so he ap- plied for enlistment, and was made a member of the King’s Shropshire Light Infantry.

A part of the equipment of some cavalrymen just returned to France from a few days’ furlough in Eng- land is a fishing-rod and sereral vari- eties of floats. But there are others who prefer to fish for the pot in more sudden and ruthless manner. Their method is very different. They oper- ate in those parts of the csmls where roach and Mee are thouttht-not " ways with reitt---to be numerous.

A small wad of truncotton, neatly exploded under water, is enough to account for all the fish within a con- siderable radius; and a few moments after the discharge the underside of the touch and the? appear on the sur- face. The idea was suggested by the accidental havoc wrought among the tish by a certain Jack Johnson. Each shell weighs two hundred pounds and stands three feet. It splits two strips that measure from two to three feet in breadth, the edges of which have jagged teeth like a saw. These "Shells came tearing through the air for a quarter of a mile or more, cutting through trees that stand in their way. When one of the shells explodes the concussion can be heard for ten miles.

Philip of Macedon created the na- tional military organization with which his son Alexander the Great swept from the Balkans to India. That is an example of the way in which the making of armies may ab- sorb one famous mind and the use of armies another. If the hereditary genius of a single family, the Home of Baraca, shook Rome to its founda- tions, it was because Hamilcar fram- ed the Spanish infantry with which Hannibal crossed the Alps. Louvois. in more modern times, was an organ- izer of the armies that Turenne and Conde led to triumph. Frederick Wil- liam, like another Philip, created the Prussian military machine which Frederick the Great wielded like an- other Alexander. Catrnot organized the French armies which Napoleon led. We come down to a still more recent instance when we remember that won Roon's functions as an army maker were almost as distinct from Moltke's as was the latter'a position from Bismarek's. More Expected of Him Than Atty Man Could Accomplish. Lord Kitchener, under the special difficulties and uncertainties of the voluntary 'system, has had to grapple with the most gigantic problem of re- cruiting and training that any sol- dier in the world's history ever had to face, says the London Observer. There never has been anything like the magnitude of that work, and it had to be tsteotttp1ished by improvised machinery. Even after the recon- struction of last May, Lord Kitchener was still expected to combine the functions of a maker of armies with that of a director of campaign; These two totally different functions cannot be successfully combined.
