THE COLOR OF FOODS.
The brilliant green chlorophyl of
the vegetable kingdom is In some way
connected with the golden yellows of
the pumpkin and the carrot, the bril-
liant reds of the cherry and the straw-
berry, the blush of the peach, the
apple and the pear. It has to do with
the bronzing of the silken tassel of the
corn and the golden hue of the wheat
—In short, with the general riot of
color running all through the vegetable
kingdom and touching berries, fruit,
vegetable and cereal, which Is a cer-
tain indication whereby nature glveB
notice that the process Is completed
and the product has reached maturity
and Is fit and wholesome food tor man-
kind.
Most of ub have had experience In
our younger days along the lines of
“Johnny Jones and his sister Sue and
the peach of emerald hue," and know
that until certain shades of color have
been acquired Indulgence In fruit Is
quite certain to be followed by rebel-
lion and great distress In our Internal
Improvements located round and
about our equatorial region, a condi-
tion comprehensively covered by the
expreselve, old time term, bellyache,
and for the relief of which there Is
no better, quicker nor safer remedy
than a generous dose of good old fash-
ioned castor oil.
This ripening process 1b due to the
absorption of a definite amount of
solar energy and elemental matter
which Is tied up In vastly complicated
molecules, and which, being torn apart
under the action of our digestive or-
gans, supplies us with food—the en-
ergy and material necessary to both
drive and repair our machines. There
Is a vast fund of Information awaiting
development concerning the universal
formation and distribution of the me-
lanlns—the pigments—for the subject
of color In the final analysis Is but
a part of those fundamental physical
laws that govern the rise and fall of
nations, the origin of wealth and pov-
erty and the general physical welfare
of the species. We Ignore It at our
peril.
We are known throughout the world
as an active people; uncomfortable
people are always active. Really, It Is
the neurasthenic that sets the pace—
but uncomfortable people are as a rule
unhealthy people. A hungry baby Is
always restless and fretful. Con-
versely a well nourished baby Is well
behaved and good natured, and It Is
the same with youth or adult. In
neurasthenia, tuberculosis, probably
In Insanity, and In the vast Increase
In the degenerative diseases of liver,
heart, kldneyB and arteries, we have
the results of some form of starvation
of some part of our complicated ma-
chinery. We lack some element of
the universal energy to establish our
nutritive balance, and who with a full
understanding, so far as science has
penetrated, will say It may not be
light energy as condensed In these
atomic forms conveyed to us In the
shape of the color elements In our
food matter which we so systematical-
ly and persistently eliminate from our
diet by the too exclusive choice of
starchy food?
Wild creatures are pmctlcally ex-
empt from malady and die either from
accident or from mature old age. As a
result of his superior wisdom we
would expect man to be at least as ex-
empt from disease as the wild ani-
mals. Instead we have the spectacle
of a land tilled with hospitals, sanl
tarla and asylums, all taxed to the
limit of capacity by the thousands
clamoring for admittance, seeking re-
lief from the results of their own
Ignorance of life principles.
Probably not until we come to look
on the profession of the practise of
medicine and the manufacture of food
material as closely allied vocations
vocations that are not to be consid-
ered as private business, but rather
as social obligations, will It be safe
for us to depend on “the other fel-
low" for wholesome food supplies. At
the present time our safety lies In
consuming unprocessed foods.
Fresh meats, fresh or sun dried
fruits and vegetable matter. Including
most of the so-called waste, the skins
and woody liber, furnish a diet more
in keeping with the demands of nature
than can possibly be had m the
"scientifically prepared, predigested"
matter packed under labels guarantee
tng "purity and freedom from germs.”
And $1 spent In a feed store or grocery
for whole corn, wheat, oats, barley,
etc., In bulk, and ground Into meai
or flour at home, will give a real food
equivalent of at leaBt $3 spent In pre
digested breakfast foods and will se
cure vastly more wholesome food at
that.
BRU SH SOLDIERS TELL HOW
THEY WON THE DAY AT MARNE
MAN AND HIS FOOD.
The United States department of
agriculture recently issued a report
showing that climate Is the principal
factor In determining the varying
characteristics of wheat grown in dif-
ferent regions. The bureau of chem-
istry had previously called attention
to the fact that environment had more
Influence upon the crop than had the
composition of the seed. And now
these new tests show that in environ-
ment climate plays a more important
part than soil.
The source of all life—the sun—con-
tains wilhin it practically everything
of which this earth Is composed, and
it Is on the products of sunlight, there-
fore, that we have to depend lor the
source of all human energy. Con-
versely, It is logical, then, to look for
any absence of human energy or har-
mony in some lack of this universal
driving power.
Passing sunlight through a prism
splits it into bands of color which we
know as the spectrum. The speetrum
Is made up of six prominent hues,
supplemented by a multitude of sub-
ordinate ones, the total number which
the eye can recognize as distinct being
not less than 1,000, each one of whlcn
corresponds to a definite wave length
of light and each probably producing
some definite physical reactions on
similar substances.
At the red end of the spectrum we
find the long waves and at the violet
end we find the short waves, and we
have demonstrated that it is the short
rays at the violet end that act on the
delicate silver salts, while vegetation
responds most to the yellow and red
sections. The red end is known as
the heat, or thermic, rays, and the
violet end as the chemical, or actinic, I
rays.
The green color of the plant, chlor- j
ophyl, bears some direct relation to j
the plant’s ability to absorb the wave
length needed to break up the car-
bonic acid of the air and convert It
into sugar, starch and gums. Excluded
from light, plants lose their color by
reason of the fact that this chlorophyl
becomes submerged Into the proto-
plasm from which It came and from
which it is again devolped by exposure
to light and heat. This seems to In-
dlcate that vegetation normally grow-
ing under sunlight might reasonably
be expected to show variations if de-
prived of any part of the light, and
Flammarion and others have demon-
strated this to be a fact.
Lettuce grown under similar condi-
tions of soil, position and humidity
showed considerable difference in the
matter of growth under different col-
ored lights. That grown under red
glass developed four times as quickly
as that grown under ordinary sun-
light, shooting up like bean stalks.
Under green glass the result was not
so striking, yet the lettuce was taller
than that produced In sunlight, while
that grown under the blue light was
very insignificant. Other plants sub-
jected to this process gave various re-
sults. Indian corn under white glass,
measured 25 inches, under red glass,
18 inches, under green glass, eight
inches and under blue glass, six inches.
Beans flourished under white and red
glass, but perished under green and
blue glass.
All nitrogen compounds are noted
for their instability, some exploding on
exposure to light or on a very slight
shake. Nitrogen is the basis of all
modern explosives ana the foundation
of photography. Nitrogen Is the basiB
of protoplasm; hence, we might ex-
pect protoplasm to be seriously dis-
turbed and modified by vibrations
which cause it to move at a rate faster
than that to which it Is adjusted; and
this is precisely what happens when
single cells are exposed to the action
of the short rays, and this is why vio-
let light, radium emanations and the
“X” rays are fatal to bacteria. The
protoplasm of our nerve cells is so
very complex and unstable that it will
not function exbept at the rate of
vibration between 98 and 100 degrees
Fahrenheit, though a temperature of
105 degrees may require some days
to break up the molecule.
Animal life is possible only between
the red and violet range of the spec-
trum because the tissues are developed
and “tuned" in this scale and exist be-
cause they are links in the universal
chain. Just as plants excluded from
light lose their color, so man depfived
of free access to color in food and
surroundings will develop the well
know’n "prison pallor.”
There is no room for chance In
nature and all that is needed is care-
fully to unravel the correspondence
which must exist between all depart-
ments of the universe In order to ex-
pose the source of our physical Ills
and make It very clear that nature’s
unrestricted growth never resulla in
I discord.

Paris.—Details given me by British
soldiers enable me to give the follow-
ing account of the participation of the
British in the great battle of the
Marne:
The trpops had marched since dawn
through a country of Helds and com-
fortable farm houses. As the after-
noon wore on they could see the foe
had been driven back from positions
recently held. On all sides began to
appear stretches of charred waste and
broken, gaunt walls, relics of happy
homes—even a church on the edge of
a village given to the flames, and tomb-
stones trampled under foot.
As the march wras renewed the tem-
per of the men exhibited a distinct
change. There was no more whistling,
no more light banter. Each man's face
W'as set and determined. As night
drew near the rumbling of guns w’as
audible in the distance. Then came a
galloper on a foam-spattered horse
bearing dispatches to the general. Af-
ter delivering the dispatches he mount-
ed a fresh horse and disappeared into
the darkness.
Still the khaki-clad wave marched
on, every mile bringing the sound of
heavy firing nearer. Toward midnight
a squad of cavalry came into touch on
the right, and a little later the men
were in what they soon discovered
was to be the firing line.
Trenches Dug at Night.
The army came to a halt, but hard-
er things than blankets were in Btore.
Gallopers came flying from nowhere
and were as quickly dispatched into
the darkness. After a wait of no long
duration the men dug trenches and
threw up breastworks to be ready for
the coming fray.
Daylight showed in front of an al-
most level stretch of open country,
backed up by a belt of growing tim-
ber, where the Germans had taken
up their position. Although none of
the foe was visible, the woods were
alive with armed men, and behind the
woods lay artillery in trenches pro-
tected by breastworks. The British
troops waited, backed up by heavy
guns in the rear. Suddenly there was
shooting in the distance, followed by
a long wall as a shell passed over
their heads, to explode with a deafen-
ing roar at a safe distance from the
trench. The Germans had opened the
duel.
Guns Begin to Answer.
The guns of the British soon began
to answer with greater effect. All at
once little spurts of dust were notice-
able rising in front. The men in the
woods were trying to get the range,
but still our men had no orders to
lire.
One of our men, unable to control
his anxiety to use his rifle, rose from
the trenches, fully exposing himself
to the enemy’s fire, only to fall back
dead.
Finding themselves unable to draw
our fire, the Germans advanced in the
open, only to be met by a heavy vol-
ley. They quickly sought cover, and
then the fight became vigorous. With
two hours’ continuous fighting, the foe
returned into the heart of the woods.
Our guns practically silenced the
German-jjattery, thanks to information
received from a French aeroplane.
They then turned their attention to
the riflemen in the woods and under
protection of their fire our soldiers
silenced . the Infantry. If it had
been a parade they could not have
showu more coolness and steadiness
Enemy Quits Thicket.
After covering most of the inter-
vening space at a march they broke in-
to the double and soon were in the
vicinity of the thicket. Finding our
guns had located them, the enemy had
retreated.
Our left and right flank cavalry
rounded the edge of the woods while
the infantry passed through the cen-
ter of the timber. On reaching the
far side they fell into close formation
and charged the foe, and what they
missed was not enough to fill a liquor
glass, let alone a tumbler.
Dead Germans, struggling, wounded
horses and broken guns made a thrill-
ing but terrible picture. Great gashes
torn in the earth were eloquent
signs of the accuracy of British gun-
nery.
At another stage of the great battle
the Germans massed near a wood. The
British lay well away from them on
one side, the French under General
Pau on the other. Some desultory
firing took place and the Germans
tried to hide their real strength un-
der cover of the forest, but the allied
commanders had been well supplied
with information and were on the
alert.
The Germans' right asked for an
armistice for the purpose of attending
to their wounded and burying their
dead, but while this request was un-
der consideration a British aeroplane
Uiscovei^d the Germans were setting
a trap for the allies. Negotiations at

once were broken off and the fighting
recommenced.
Death Trap Fails.
An airman had seen an immense
number of guns enter the woods,!
the foe evidently having planned to
put up a sham fight and retreat so
as to draw the British to the hidden
guns. It was a well planned death
trap, but the allies by this time were
aware of the tactics. The motive be-
hind the request for an armistice was
to lull the allies into a sense of se-
curity and so enable fresh German
forces to arrive from Compiegne.
A terrific cannonade at once was
opened upon the wood, which took
fire, and as a brisk wind was blowing,
the flames soon turned the forest into
an inferno. The Germans rushed out
in great disorder, and the British, who
w'ere waiting, fell on them hip and
thigh. The men, remembering all that
has been done by them and the peas-
antry, fought with terrible fury, and
■friped out the score.
The German commander concen-
trated all his energies on saving the
guns, but this was just the thing the
allied commanders had decided to
frustrate. Much fierce fighting took
place around the artillery, the British
cavalry distinguishing itself by its
dash and determination, sweeping
down upon the German horsemen try-
ing to escort the guns to places of
safety. They were through them like
an avalanche, and it will be long be-
fore those Teutons who escaped for-
get the headlong, irresistible rushes of
our hard riders.
Cavalry’s Worth Shown.
Once again it was demonstrated
that the cavalry arm still is one of
the most effective an army can pos-
sess when it is used at the proper mo-
ment and in the right way. Cavalry
may be useless against men in-
trenched on kopjes, but in the open
field it is as effective as in the days
of the first Napoleon.
Not only did the cavalry prevent
the German guns from escaping, but
their lightning-like delivery of
charges prevented the gunners from
taking up positions from which to
work havoc on our infantry. The Ger- j
mans were busy at all times, and the j
accuracy of their firing soon made |
every fresh position untenable.
Our infantry went also into the fray j
with terrible relish and zest. The
zouave-like open formation is the best j
on earth for rapid advance and heavy \
volleying on the move.
Our men got over the ground at
a swinging pace, and closed up for
bayonet work. The men literally were
on the run, and nothing could stop
them. They went through the Ger- j
mans like fire through flax.
The French are loud in their praises
of the British in this battle. Stand
after stand was made by the Germans I
in hope of stemming the tide of disas-!
ter until support should arrive, but
the British knew the value of time as
well as the Germans, and pushed the
attack home so hotly that, according !
to the latest verbal reports, the enemy
lost, in dead and wounded, 35,00^men. j
A large amount of artillery, great and
small, big guns and rapid flrers, fell j
into the British hands.

RIVERS CHOKED WITH
BODIES OF AUSTRIANS
London.—"The newspaper corre-
spondents describe horrible scenes on
the battlefields abandoned by the Aus-
tEO-Gernian forces last week,” says the
Morning Post’s Petrograd correspond-
ent.
"Streams, they say, were choked
full with slain men, trodden down in
the headlong flight till the waters
were dammed and overflowing the
banks. Piles of dead are awaiting
burial or burning. Hundreds of acres
are sown with bodies and littered with
weapons and battle debris, while
wounded and riderless horses are
careering madly over the abandoned
country. The trophies captured com-
prise much German equipment. An
ammunition train captured at Janow
(11 miles northwest of Lemberg) was
German, while the guns taken include
46 heavy caliber bearing Emperor
William's initials and belonging to the
German Sixth army corps.
"The line of retreat of the Austro-
German forces was blocked with
debris of every kind—valuable mili-
tary supplies, telephone and telegraph
installations, light railway and oth-
er stores, bridging material—in fact,
everything needed by a modern army
was flung away in flight. Over one
thousand wagons with commissariat
supplies alone were captured.
"Newspaper dispatches assert that
the German troops have been inter-
spersed with Austrian troops in the
lntrenchments in order to raise the
morale of the Austrians. One corre-
spondent declares that while the Aus-
trians took flight the Germans wero
ready to the last man to perish.”

“An attack of grip, so severe it cams
near making an end of me, left my
stomach In such condition 1 could not
retain any ordinary food. I knew of
course that I must have food nourish-
ment or I could never recover.
“I began to take four teaspoonfula
of Grape-Nuts and cream three time#
a day and for 2 weeks this was almost
my only food. It tasted so delicious
that I enjoyed it immensely and my
stomach handled It perfectly from the
first mouthful. It was so nourishing
I was quickly built back to normal
health and strength.
"Grape-Nuts Is of great value as food
to sustain life during serious attack*
in which the stomach is so deranged
It cannot digest and assimilate othef

“I am convinced that were Grape-
Nuts more widely used by physicians,
it would save many lives that are oth-
erwise lost from lack of nourishment."
