NEWFOUNDLAND. WILL CO-OPERATE' V Chairman of Fad Control Board visiting' Ottawa and Washington. A despatch from : Ottawa says:— There is to. be close co-operation be- tweeir the Newfoundland and Cana- dian, Food Administrations. Hon. P. T. McGrath,, Chairman of the New- foundland •Food Control Board and President of the Newfoundland Legis- lative 'Coundil, is at present in Otta- wa, 'and has had numerous conferee - fes with representatives of the Cana- dian Food Administration. Newfoundland's most • immediate feed • problem is to secure delivery•of 400,0'00 barrels of flour for the next twelve months. Salt beef and salt pork to the quantity of 50,000 barrels are also needed. The colony is wholly dependent upon imports from the United States and Canada for its wheat flour, five -sixths of which comes from this country, as also does seven - eighths of its fresh meat. Salt beef and salt pork, however, are supplied almost wholly by the United States. After leaving Ottawa -Mr.- McGrath will visit Washington to consult 'with Mr. Hoover and members of the Am- erican Food Administration with the special object of arranging for sup- plies of salt pork and beef. ti U-BOAT PIRATES��1t C MURDER CREWS Turn Guns on Sailors After the Boats Sunk.

A despatch from Washington says: Immediate aid in solving Russia's transportation problems will be given by the American Government. Ship- ment of locomotives and cars to Vladi- vostok will be rushed across the Pa- cific in Japanese vessels, and Ameri- can railway men will be sent to serve as inspectors along the Trans-Siberian railway. The breaking down of Russia's traneportatiort system has been one of her"chief handicaps in prosecuting the war. Thousands of tons of freight is piled on the ground at Vladivostok, which' Russian railway men have found no way to move. The arrival of American locomotives in large numbers is expected to be of great as- sistance in starting this freight west- ward. American officials are considering proposing -to the Russian Government that 'a section of the Trans-Siberian line be turned over to a group of Am- erican railwaymen for operation. The Americans would train Russian crews who would be distributed to other sections as fast as possible. • CLIMATE OF HUMAN BODY. A Subject About Which As Yet Little Is Known. What about your climate?

Modern Vegetables Were All, .At One WRITING WITH LEFT HAND. Sensible Method Which Will be of Value to Many Soldiers. The difficulty of educating a right- handed person to write with the left hand, and tho best method of overcom- ing it, is described by Major Edwin I3. Naehe, of the British Army Medical Corps, in a letter to Tho Lancet. As many persons, by reason of an injury to the right arm or hand find them- selves faced with this problem, what Dr. Naehe says is important, especial- ly as it 1s based upon personal ex- perience. Dr. Nashe undertook to treat a thir- teen -year-old boy whose right side was paralyzed and who had been given up as hopeless by the teachers of many schools. He found the trouble was that the teachers, unable to write with their left hands, tried to get the boy to copy with his left hand the motions they were making with their right. 1 -lis brain was unable to perform this looking glass act of translation. So Dr. Nashe determined to learn to write with his lett hand, and then to get.the boysto copy his motions, This he did with highly satisfactory results. The secret of success lies in exactly reversing the right hand position of .paper and pencil. Instead of the up- per edge of the paper sloping up to the right, it should slope up to the left. The line of the writing should slope dawn from left to right at an angle 01 about fifty, degrees with the edge oe the desk, and the slope of the writing should be backwards et an angle of about 45 degrees to the writing line, "In this method," writes Dr. Nasho, un "It will be found that the fingers aro in the most natural position for writ - A despatch from Canadian Army before it, such a world as 110 suns 00011 ing, the arni and the wrist being in a s says: In the Lens can believe it to be.

The fields and woods are full of plant. forms which, though edible, are notl eaten—that is, the plants are not eaten by the great mass•of mankind. And it: is remarkable tbat men do not eat these plants, not because they do not lute them, but because they do not ]snow that they are edible, and even though they should learn that they may be eaten with safety and advant- age, would not have the slighest no- tion how to prepare them. There are many of these plants growing profuse- ly along the quiet byways of the coun- try and over the untitled fields border- 1'ng the highways and the byways, which, while edible in theirpresent wild state, are susceptible of being de- veloped into that form of food general- ly called garden or table vegetables. There is no vegetable that man eats to -clay that was not at one time a weed or a wild plant. The successive Years or centuries of cultivation have so changed its physical appearance that i there remains little outward similarity y between it and its wild ancestor. All the forms of cabbage—kale, cauli- flower, Brussels sprouts and kohl-rabi —have been descended, or perhaps as- cended, from a small and mean -look- ing wild plant that exists to -day in many parts of the world, but wllicb looks not at all like its cultivated des. cendants, A.11 the edible beans and peas, of which there are a surprising• ly large number of varieties, are sprung from wild plants, with pods containing inconspicuous beans. So it is with the potato, the sweet potato, carrot, parsnip, turnip, rhubarb and every other vegetable and fruit of which man can think. The and of turning wild things into cultivated things has not yet been reached. Then there is pueley.
