tion to be Seen at Toronto.
The famous World -at -Home -Shows
will provide the Midway attractions at
the Canadian National Exhibition, and
the fund of amusement guaranteed is
not only unique, but so arranged that
no matter what one wishes to see or
how diverse their tastes, they will find
something worthy of patronage. "Cre-
ation," the original spectacle exhibited
at the Panama Pacific Exposition, is
one:of the head -liners. From impen-
etrable darlcness and absolute quiet
and solitude, the wonderful tale of the
birth of the universe is told and un-
folded day by day, each incident, as
told in.the first book of Genesis, being
faithfully and artistically worked out
and portrayed in every detail, even to
the appearance of Adam and the crea-
tion of Eve.
Venus, the most perfect woman in
the world, is another feature, and
there are rides and pony shows, sub-
marine girls and a host of living curi-
osities.
Among the latest sanitary appli-
ances for public eating places is a
spoon pressed from paper that can be
thrown away after using,
ea 30 wig. .

TUBERCULOSIS AND FOOD.
Want of Proper Nourishment May Bo,
a Forerunner of Dread Disease.
While tuberculosis is caused by a'
well-known germ, we often have a)
right to be suspicious of its coming
from want of proper nourishment.)
This would seem to be a forerunner of
the true disease of tuberculosis.
This want of nourishment is to be'
accounted for in several ways. The
digestive system may be naturally
wbak; it may have been strong in ear-',
ly life but abused by the use of alco-
hol, eating rapidly when physically or,
mentally tired or ley gulping food
without proper chewing or mastica-
tion.
Tho increase of tuberculosis of late
in Belgium, in France and other war-
ring countries is largely due to the
want of the things that nature de-
mands for building up healthy bodies.
We must have some nitrogen in the
form of meat or eggs or ,beans. We.
must have some fats. And we must
havo some starches. Otherwise the
body will be partly starved and dis-
ease germs will thrive in the differ-
ent tissues. This occurs more often
in the lungs than anywhere else, but
there is hardly an organ in the body
that will not, under certain conditions,
become tuberculous.
We who are unable to go to the
front because of being too young, or
too old, or physically defective, will
have to take the responsibility of
keeping up the Immo conditions. Wo
must see that foodstuffs are produced
for all, not only at home but for the
faithful and brave who have gone to
the front to ralc their lives for the
continued freedom of America.
