War and lusanity.

Dr. Oswald, bead of Glugow

· lasatio asylám in a report isaed with respect to the effect of war on koránity, says that war worries hare not, we win feared would be the case, led to an increase of iamaity. The removal of the powerfal effect of poverty on the wind and ite replacement by a higher standard of living and Remunerative employment baɛ done much to bring abogia de oréase in inensity. The greatest good to the diurdered wind is to be found, says Dr. Oswald, by work on the land.

Racing and Wär Bonds.

In the Bingoon papera a suggestion is made to Race Sewards that all subscriptions Boming into their hands should be învested in the war loan, and the prizes of all I indu should be paid in war bonds or port ci outh certificates. (Onsider the hdtror of receiving your modest dividend on the To's in a P. O. Order. Wiabere would be saved the trouble of looking for a good inveera eat. But bow is changing from one form of Government paper money to another poing to help?)-Singapore Free Pris.

Gulis' Eggs.

An antapped and easily accessible Boarce of food is to be brought to the notion of the Food Controller by be Yorkshire Wild Birds' Protection Society. Recent-

the sociely passed a resolation ssking Lord Davenport to com- mandeer all galle" "egge, which are luid in large and easily accessible colonies during 1917. In the conres of two or three months) there will be millions of egge, and they can be collected with such facility on Farne I-land, the Scilly Isles, on the Lincolnshire and Lancashire galleries, and in Scotland that Mr. H. B. Bootb, the president of the society, declares they could be sold in the markets at It. sach, and at that price make a fair return of profit. Bracken as Food,

The nees of bracken are referred to by Sir James Crichton-Browne, who says he bw long had his eya on the fern, both as an enemy and a possible ally. Some of outread- ers may recall that when Coopi Bajematsu was on m'visit to this country at the time of the Ross- Japanese war he advocated the ms of bracken as a food. Mr. K. Thi, of the Japanese Embassy, told some times20 how the shoots are prepared in Japan for cooking. "What you have to do first is to pick the tender parte of bracken shoots and wish, them carefully' in fresh water. You then pat them into boiling water for two minutes or 10, and afterwards remove them to cold water, where they are left for a couple of hours. This is the end of preparation, and you may then use them for cooking in any way, you like.” During last summer Bir Jame

s he got from Scotland paroele of young bracken shoots which were prepared in the manner dir- scled by Mr. Kiabi and afterwarda cooked as a pares, like spiasob, and like separagus heads, being served with melied batter. They proved sourless and insipid, bat not indigestible, but in the absence of all other fresh veget- } ables they might prove useful.
