Music: "Apart from reading, the population relies chiefly upon sports and music for recreation. By music I mean serious music. We even have the beginnings of opera. The performances are out of doors. Almost the Imperial Opera in Petrograd are now in Palestine." Movies: "You can't feed the population of Palestine on movies. The people are too fastidious...
...present population of the country is about 110,000,000. When we have increased it to 190,000,000, the people will begin to feel the pressure and emigration will set in. England does not produce nearly enough to feed her population. She imports food and at the same time her people emigrate. The same conditions will appear in the United States within the next half century unless we radically reduce our standards of living, or work much harder than we do now. I believe the latter possibility very doubtful," added Professor Carver with a smile...

Olive, peanut, soy bean and peach kernel-oil were found to restore and promote fertility but failed to produce lactation (that is, milk for the young). The seeds of wheat, corn, hemp produced fertility and lactation. From these facts are inferred the existence of a new vitamin, called Vitamin E or Vitamin...
