WHAT
PEOPLE
EAT
Science has been telling us a
great deal lately about what we ought to eat.
It assures us that
if we would be strong, vigorous, healthy, fit for the day's tasks and hopeful of a ripe old age we must absorb so and so many proteins, minerals, vitamins and what not.
Perhaps science is right, and perhaps it is laboriously restoring to our ken secrets hitherto ir reparably lost since Methuselab. at the dawn of history, carried them with him to his grave. Nevertheless, awareness of pro- teins and vitamins is by no means indispensable condition of bodily perfection.

KWANGSI PEACE
SETTLEMENT ·
Conclusion Expected In Few Days
(
Canton, September 8.
The chief and fundamental terms of the peace settlement havirs been discussed and settled, it is believed that the minor detalls are giving the Central Government flttle concern, and that a few days w see the negotiations brought to a satisfactory conclusion.
In the meantime, the Central Government has ordered the with- drawal of its investing armies to a distance of 59 11 from the Kwangså border, and this friendly gesture is being repeated in other parts of Kwangtung Province, where troops of the Central Government have been stationed.
The peaceful end of the two months' extended negotiations have given universal relief, and the con- fidence of the people is rapidly being restored, as evidenced by the change in the money market and the rapid rise in the value of
Kwangs paper money.
Mr. Lu Wei-chang, the Kwangsi
representative decided to return to Nanning last Sunday, but owing to unfavourable weather conditions he has been obliged to postpone his departure till today.
Mr. Kooy Ching and Generals Chu Pul-teb and Ching Chim
having completed their mission, it is reported that they too will soon be returning to Nanking, as their services are no longer required in
the South.
It is reported that General Li Tsung-Jen will soon be able to take up his new appointment and that General Pel Chung-hat will pay a visit to Canton, perhaps with General Li Tsung-len to zee Marshal Chiang Kai-shek, after which both will return to Nanking together.
Another report is to the effect that the Central Government may send General L Chai-shum on a
