By the Way (Continued)

the artist was in the service of that royal patron of art is to be given up to France by Austria, so a New York "Tribune correspondent states. Italy is to get from Austria, it is said, Titian's "Ecce Homo," "Entombment," and "Diana," Correggio's "Christ and the Samaritan Woman," etc. Thus ancient wrongs by old-time looters are to be undone. The same correspondent, however, says that it seems as if some modern looters were to keep their plunder: "Most of the loot carried off by Germany has been placed for safe-keeping in neutral countries such as Switzerland, and it will be difficult to recover these art treasures."

What is the oldest restaurant in the world now open for business? Paris has at least one restaurant-the Café de la Régence that is more than two hundred years old; the Mitre Hotel at Oxford, England, is said to be five hundred years old; the Rathskeller at Bremen, which holds what is regarded as the finest stock of Rhine and Moselle wine in the world, was built in 1405; the curious little restaurant known as the Bratwurstglöcklein, in Nuremberg, which is part of a church, has, it is believed, been serving roast sausages since the year 1400; and the Capello Nero restaurant in Venice traces its beginnings back to the year 1376.

Apropos of restaurants, a pleasant story is told in that entertaining book, "The Gourmet's Guide to Europe," which illustrates the aphorism that you generally get what you pay for. At Monte Carlo, says the author, most of the restaurants adapt their prices nicely to the purses of the winners at the Casino, who want the best and don't care what it costs. Before one of the smartest of these restaurants an economical stranger paused and asked the liveried porter who stood at the door whether it was a cheap restaurant. "Not exactly cheap,' replied the Machiavellian servitor, but really very cheap for what you get here.'"

The "Journal of the American Medical Association" quotes, under the head of "Poor Charlie," this paragraph as appearing in the Palmyra (Missouri) "Spectator:" "Mrs. K- came to see her son Charlie, who had been ill for eleven weeks and has had several attacks of appendicitis. ... His relatives have very little hopes of his recovery, and if it is necessary to operate on him, none whatever."

John McAllister was an artist. Falling from grace, he became a convict in Sing Sing. When he tired of captivity, his art training enabled him to construct the most lifelike" dummy" in the history of prison escapes. He made a head, resembling his own, from soap, dough, putty, and odds and ends of hair, and a body from a pillow, straw, and waste. Each time the guard looked into McAllister's cell he saw this lifelike figure on the bed, and said "All's well." Meanwhile the prisoner was making good his escape. This ruse has been tried many times in prison history-the most famous occasion, probably, being when Napoleon III left a dummy in his prison cell at the Castle of Ham and went off to become Emperor of the French.

"A man with a weak wing should never try to cover one of the garden positions." This advice is not given to aviators or farmers, as the phraseology might indicate, but to baseball players, with special regard to the outfielders. Interpreted, it means that good arms are necessary for the long throws from the outfield to the home plate.

TRUCKS MOVE FOOD CROPS QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY

FROM AN ARTICLE BY ROBERT E. JONES IN THE COMMERCIAL VEHICLE"

WE

[ocr errors]

E sat on the broad veranda of a pioneer home in the Sacramento Valley, California, watching a string of motor trucks, pyramided with bags of rice, pass by bound for the river docks at Colusa. It was last fall. Overhead a squadron of airplanes from Mather Field, at Sacramento, had just flown, headed for the old Glenn homestead, domicile of a bonanza wheat farmer of the early days, where a Red Cross fête was to be held in the evening.

"It seems almost unreal-a weird dream," said my companion, the daughter of one of the first settlers. "I can remember when there were no roads and no railways here, not to mention motor trucks, concrete boulevards, and airplanes. During the wheat harvest father used to set off. for the river in a buckboard dragging a chain to mark a trail in the grass for the teamsters, with their loads of wheat, to follow. Those wagon trains crept along through that clump of oaks yonder-there were no fences going to the river in one day and returning the next."

"And now it's motor trucks, almost an army train of them, carrying from five to nine tons of rice at a load, moving swiftly over hard-surfaced roads," I put in.

"We are living in a wonderful generation," she mused.

Of course it was a trite remark-80 because many people have realized the truth of it and voiced it.

Motor-truck transportation in California has grown as the State's system of hardsurfaced highways has been extended, and this has been rapidly. Trunk-line roads, connecting the county seats-more than fifty of them-are being built under a $33,000,000 bond issue, and the work is more than fifty per cent completed. Coun

ties have followed the example and are building similar concrete roads to tie up with the State system. The shortest routes between shipping points were selected when the State system was laid out for the sake of through tourist travel and freighting.

A form of rural motor express has existed in California almost since the beginning of motor trucks. It followed closely upon their appearance in cities. But the most recent development has been in crop

handling on a large scale. In this service the motor truck has played a tremendous part in getting food under cover before stormy periods of the year, for even California has some wet weather.

Rapid transit from field to warehouse is vital to such crops as rice, beans, and hops, and growers of these goods never realized before how much they were losing to the weather. Of course there has been a saving, too, in cost of moving, but that is a second consideration with them.

Trucks for crop moving were first tried by a community of hop-growers in the Sacramento Valley, where the fields are twenty miles from the railway and the river. A progressive truckman offered to carry their hops to the steamer landing at thirty-five cents a bale and got the business. Eight-mule teams with three wagons had been carrying these hops, making a trip from the country in eight to ten hours, three round trips a week. The trucks made three trips daily, carrying fifty bales each.

Most of the trucking on a large scale is by individual truck-owners or companies in the cities who go into the country after the harvest and contract to move the crops. While the summer and fall are busy periods in California, it is almost a year-around business.

Hardy vegetables, such as lettuce, celery, and spinach, begin to move in the early

Trucks Move Food Crops Quickly and Economically (Continued)

winter to railway stations for shipment East or to canneries and dehydrating plants. Thousands of truck-loads of spinach grown in fields that produce tomatoes in summer are hauled to canneries and drying plants at Sacramento through the winter. A truck with a large flat bed has almost the capacity of a box car, for spinach is light in proportion to its bulk. The plant is stuffed into crates, which are piled high on the truck.

With asparagus and artichokes in the early spring, the vegetable season keeps many trucks busy until the first deciduous fruit is ripe. Fruit-growers usually are established farmers operating on their own land, and many of them own trucks. But the canneries, obtaining fruit from a distance even up to fifty miles, contract with truck-owners for hauling fruit to their plants, for it not only saves in the actual cost of moving, but the boxes are handled only twice. If shipped by rail, boxes would have to be handled four times.

The fruit season lasts through summer and winds up about November 15, so that a large extra force of trucks is necessary when grain ripens. While wheat and barley farmers have not taken to trucks as readily as the rice and bean growers, still the truck is handling a great deal of these cereals, particularly for large opera

tors.

Rice is a comparatively new crop in California, and, with beans, ripens late in the fall. The quantity of both has increased so greatly in a few years that the transportation problem has been multiplied.

The main problem of both rice and bean men is to avoid the early fall rains. They may grow a wonderful crop, but if the rain comes while sacks are piled in the field, losses may amount to thousands of dollars in a single night.

In Colusa, the center of the rice district, fifty trucks were operating last fall through the town, from the rice-fields beyond to warehouses on the river levee. While the trucks on the land and big barges in the river form an admirable combination for Tours and Travel

moving the quantity of rice, the total yield has become so large that all rail lines get their share of the through business. Trucks do not venture onto the wet and boggy ricefields, but pick up their loads along the concrete roads where the bags have been piled from wagons.

Beans are handled in similar fashion, though most of the bean-fields are nearer the river and the haul is shorter. Trucks can go directly into the bean-fields, where the soil is on a more solid foundation.

Manager George Maddock, of the great Armour project involving 70,000 acres of rich river-bottom land in the Sutter basin, is planning a gridiron of concrete roads for motor trucks to carry vegetables to canneries and dehydrating plants.

All railway expansion in California now takes the motor truck as a crop mover into consideration. One electric line in the Sacramento Valley is in the curious position of fostering the building of a hardsurface road, for it would make a certain large producing district tributary to its line by motor truck.

THIS advertisement is published in the interest of a Russian lady, the story of whose escape from Russia was told anonymously in The Outlook of April 23. She is a widow with a little girl eleven years of age. She is of aristocratic parentage and as a girl attended a fashionable school in America when her father was for some years in this country on a diplomatic mission. Her property, which was considerable, has been practically confiscated by the Bolshevists and she must now support herself. She speaks four languages fluently, namely, English, Russian, French, and German. She is also an accomplished pianist. Because I believe that she will be a valuable addition to the faculty of some American school as a teacher of French and music, I take this method of bringing her case to the attention of the many educators who read The Outlook in the hope that some of them may be able to offer her a position that will enable her to support herself and daughter. While she has had no experience as a teacher, she is a woman of alert intelligence, great adaptability, and attractive personality, and I feel that she would be a valuable addition to the faculty of almost any girls' school or college. I am publishing this advertisement over my own name because I am anxious to help her and because she is reluctant to attempt any self-exploitation. I shall be pleased to receive and answer any inquiries that it may elicit. Theodore H. Price, 65 Broadway, New York, N. Y.

Worn-Out Stomachs Renewed

[merged small][ocr errors]

And in these four short words he summed up the reason for almost every human ailment. It is a well-known fact, recognized by scientists and physicians, that 90% of our every-day complaints can be traced directly to some disorder of the stomach, and that our stomach trouble is caused by what we eat.

Your body can be compared to an immense apartment building; your stomach to the boiler which is providing steam to keep all the tenants warm and alive. The steam it supplies, of course, is blood; the tenants, your various organs of life and intelligence. You are the fire

man.

Now then, if you were firing such a boiler you would put into it only the best coal available--the coal best suited to burn correctly and evenly and to supply the most steam. And as a result you would have plenty of steam, your tenants would be warm and happy, and there would be no complaints from any one.

But, suppose a bag of powder, such as is used to fire our big guns, got mixed up in the coal. Suppose there were several sticks of dynamite and three or four cans of gasoline in the coal. What would be the result? Shoveled into the boiler, they would sputter for a second, and then-BANG!your boiler would go flying, your flues would be ripped and twisted, your steam would escape, and your tenants, being without steam, would start a clamor that would shake your apartment building from basement to roof. Yet dynamite, powder and gasoline are all good fuels when properly used.

EUGENE CHRISTIAN

spe

Twenty years ago Eugene Christian was at death's door: for several years previous he had suffered all the agonies of acute stomach and intestinal troubles, until his doctors among them some of the most noted cialists in the country gave him up to die. As a last resort, he commenced to study the food question himself. As a result of what he learned, he succeeded in literally eating his way back to health without drugs or medicines of any kind, and in a remarkably short space of time. Eugene Christian is today nearly sixty years old or shall I say young? For he has more vitality, more ginger, more physical endurance than most youngsters in their teens. For almost fifteen years he has not even had so much as a cold. What Eugene Christian has done for himself he has also done for thousands of others. Is it any wonder that some of his rich pupils have sent him checks for $500 to $1,000 in addition to the amount of his bill in token of the wonderful results he has secured for them!

THAT'S a direct par

allel to what happens in your stomach when the wrong food combinations creep in, It is a well-known fact that some chemical properties found in our every-day foods, if mixed in a chemist's retort, will explode. The same action takes place in the stomach. Very often, two perfectly good foods, when eaten at the same meal, form a chemical reaction in the stomach, and, figuratively, explode, liberating dangerous toxic poisons which are absorbed by the blood and circulate throughout the system, forming the root of all or nearly all sickness.

The natural condition of the stomach is good. As long as it is not interfered with it will function efficiently and well supplying the body and brain with vigor and energy. But when foods which do not properly combine

are

put into it, its ability to convert them into blood is destroyed. The first indications of this condition are acidity, fermentation, gas, constipation, and many other sympathetic ills leading to most serious consequences.

in 48 Hours

If these wrong food combinations are used over and over again, the stomach will very soon become chronically bad-will refuse to properly digest the food given it, and become the base for any number of complaints. When the stomach is not functioning properly, every organ, heart, liver, lungs, brain, kidneys, nerves, muscles, will become sluggish and weak, and the entire system will become susceptible to any kind of infection that may happen along.

The Proof is Free

If you have stomach trouble you'don't have to be told the symptoms. You know you have it. But do you know how to get rid of it? Here is the way by which thousands of worn out stomachs are being renewed in 48 hours. And it won't cost you a penny to prove that it will do the same for you.

As startling as this statement may sound we will prove it to you, entirely without cost or obligation. Read about this wonder-working method and take advantage of this Free Proof.

Now as I have said, if it is not interfered with the body will keep itself healthy and will maintain an energetic, vigorous condition at all times. Therefore, it is only logical to believe that if the stomach is again given the proper food to digest, it will quickly become strong. With the fluids which are automatically secreted in the stomach for digestive purposes nature will quickly bring the system back to nor mal. Therefore, if you give your body the proper food-give nature half a chance your stomach trouble and all the associated ills will soon disappear.

THAT is the simple secret of the whole thing. Eugene Christian, the eminent food specialist, has treated over 23,000 cases with this method. In some cases where constipation and indigestion have been chronic for five years, he has induced a natural passage in 48 hours. His methods make gas, acidity, fermentation, and indigestion disappear. And it is all done without medicines, exercise, or instruments of any kind.

With Eugene Christian's method of treatment you eat the things you like. You are not told that you must not eat the good nourishing foods to which you are accustomed. You are not bound up with a lot of ridiculous rules for expensive diets. You can go right on eating the foods you like-so long as they are properly combined with other foods.

This sounds so simple that many people will be incredulous. Many will think that a thing so obvious and so easy could not possibly cure so terrible an affliction as a bad stomach. And the idea that you can positively start yourself on the road to a new stomach, good health, and strength in 48 hours may seem far-fetched.

Therefore, it will take unusual methods to back it up. Here's our offer. Here's the way we propose convincing you that you can give yourself relief from any kind of stomach trouble-chronic or acute -in 48 hours.

Don't send a cent. This is going to be a free proof. Merely mail us the coupon. We will send you the 24 little lessons in Corrective Eating, written by Eugene Christian and published by the Corrective Eating Society of New York. These lessons contain actual menus for breakfast, luncheon, and dinner; covering every condition of health and sickness from infancy to old age and for all occupations, climates, and seasons.

With these lessons at hand it is just as though you were in personal contact with the great food specialist, because every possible point is so thoroughly covered that you can scarcely think of a question which isn't answered.

Remember, this is without a penny from you. Now we're going to ask you to follow very carefully the instructions that come with this set of lessons. You won't be asked to abstain from foods you like. You can eat anything you want so long as it is properly combined with other foods. All we ask is that you follow these menus religiously for 48 hours. Just give them a fair trial for your own sake.

You can start eating the very things that will produce the increased physical and mental energy you are seeking the day you receive the lessons. And you will find that you secure results with the first meal. This, of course, does not mean that complicated illnesses can be removed at one meal, but it does mean that real results can nearly always be seen in 48 hours or less.

ALTHOUGH we are willing that you judge

results from a 48-hour trial of the lessons, we want you to use them Free for five days. Then, if after 5 days of delicious health-building meals, you are not convinced that this method of correcting a bad stomach is good-if you are not convinced that your stomach can be made over-renewed-and kept in a natural, vigorous state by eating the proper food combinations, send the whole set back to us and you won't be out a cent. We won't send any solicitors or any letters to annoy you. You're not putting yourself under any obligation whatever.

But if you are feeling better-looking better, if your brain is acting quicker, your stomach functioning better; if your general physical condition is greatly improved, and you want to keep it in condition; if you realize that this set of little lessons in Corrective Eating is invaluable to you as a health-builder and health-keeper, just keep them and send us only three dollars in full payment for the entire set.

This is the easiest, quickest, and surest way we know of. We don't ask much of you. Just a 48hour trial at our expense, that's all. You keep them Free for five days, but we stand or fall by what the little lessons do for you in 48 hours. Surely you owe it to yourself to at least investigate this method and give this society an opportunity to prove its real worth.

The reasons that the Society is willing to send the lessons on free examination without money in advance is because they want to remove every obstacle to putting this knowledge in the hands of the many interested people as soon as possible, knowing full well that a test of some of the menus in the lessons themselves is more convincing than anything that can possibly be said about them.

You don't risk a cent and you may, through following these simple methods, gain complete relief from stomach trouble forever. This is a real chance for you. Mail the coupon now with your name before the impulse is cold. Action is what counts. Give your stomach a fighting chance.
