Dr. Naismith Writes Home While Shells Are Falling On Paris

Trades English For French
"I am getting quite Frenchy in my eating," writes Dr. James Naismith of the University faculty now in Y. M. C. A. war work in France. "My dinner today was:
"That is as near as I can remember it, and it was all good and well cooked. I have not received my bread tickets yet and I will not get them until I return, as we get bread only when we are in camp. We get all we want to eat here and the soldiers are well fed, with bread and plenty of butter.

"I met a k. U. boy today, Burt Walsh, 1889-1900, who is now in Y.
M. C. A. work.
"I suppose you will read almost as I am writing that we are being bombarded, big shells dropping in Paris every twenty minutes. They make a terrific explosion and scatter things around quite a bit, but there is no sign of panic or anything of the kind. I have no idea where they come from. The newspapers say they come from seventy-five miles away, but this seems an impossibility. However, we shall know before long all about it. I cannot see any good of bombarding Paris while the big drive is on."
Doctor Naismith thanked his family for knitted things sent him. He says the wristlests and helmet will be very valuable during October and November, for those months are the most severe over there. Paris, he says, is still itself, and very enthusiastic about the American uniform.
"I like the French people very much," Doctor Naismith writes, "they are so kind and friendly. Today we sat down with two French sailors, and as we had no bread cards they gave us one each, although they would have to go without some other day. That little act drew us together. One could speak a few words of English and we could piece it out with a few words of French. One of them asked me the French for salt, and I told him. Then he asked for pepper, knife, fork, spoon, and then a plate, and I was stuck. I never had had occasion to ask for a plate, though I knew it the minute he said the word. You ought to see us sit reading a menu, referring to our little dictionaries to find what a new dish is."

Candy being composed principally of sugar, chocolate and nuts, is very high in food value. The Food Administration realizes this, and does not ask people to stop eating candy. Instead it simply requests a wise selection of the kinds of candies eaten, buying only those that contain the least sugar such as dipped nut meats, marshmallows, jellies, nut candies, etc. We make "Hoover-approved" candies -ask for them.-Wiedemann's.-Adv.
