STARCHY FOODS.

Many mothers allow their children
to live almost entirely upon starchy
foods, simply because they seem to
prefer buildings of every variety to
the more substantial dishes. The
mother argues, "WelI, let him make
his dinner on the pudding, if he pre-
fers it it certainly is as nutritious as
anything else on the table" But it
should be remembered that those
foods that are pure starch, as corn
starch, or corn -four, SO called, and
all those that thicken in like manner,
contain but little proportion of nutri.
ment, being less sustaining and also
more difficult of digestion than stale
bread. In all cases, food that contains
traces of brsn, and also gluten, gum,
sugar, cellulose and saline matter,
especially the phosphate, in proper.
ton to the starch, are to be preferred.
If the child has formed a taste for
buildings until the appetite graves
these alone, and no other form of food
seems desirable, the buildings can at
least be varied, and need not neces-
sarily be made only from starchy
foods; plain fruit puddings-with
stale bread for q foundation-all sorts
Of custards, and eggs and milk form q
good substitute. Home Queen.

PARKS AND TREES room OUTLOOK
street and Lane Department Likely
to Take Tn the Work

The members of the park and tree COM
mission seem to get no sympathy from
the members of council.
There is evidently no intention on the
part of council to give the commission any
appropriation to carry on their work. The
object seems to be to freeze the commits
sion out and force it to ask council to
take charge Of Its work, which request
will be promptly acce ded to, and the work
placed in the hands of the street and lane
committee. Alderman Davis chairman
of the street and lane committee, said
yesterday that he offered, when the SUBJ
ject was under discussion, to take charge
of the work, but that he did not know If
this offer would be ac cepted
Alderman Charlton, chairman of the
special Investigating coa nmittee of council
appointed some time af,o, said that when
his committee investigSt tied the park and
tree commission about two months ago, it
learned nothing of the condition of the
commissions finances, the investigation
being confined merely to an inquiry as
TO its methods of work. Alderman Chart
ton was asked why he did not get his
commission together and investigate the
finances He replied that the committee
had not completed its investigation Of the
commission, and had intended to return
to it in time IT will finish its investiga-
tion at some future date, he said
Judging from what Alderman Charlton
said the park and tree commission stands
no chance Of getting anything from coun-
ell. There was no necessity, he said, that
council should take any steps to continue
the work of the commission In fact. he
regarded 1t fortunate that circumstances
should have compelled the commission to
turn loose In order to give the trees and
grass a chance. Don't you see that prov
idence has come to otlr aid soon as the
park and tree commit sson quit work" he
said. pointing to the falling rain. II think
we can very well afford to dispense with
the services of the commission for a
time"
AS matters stand now the park and tree
commission is left under the ban of coun-
cil The official statement of the commits
sion to be made at the next meeting Of
council win doubtless show where and how
the money has been spent.

THE MILLS CASE A MIsTRIAL.
The Jury Could Reach No Decision,
and Was DISCHARGED.

After two days and three nights. the
jury in the trial of the suit Of Miss Sarah
c. Mills against the Florida Central ana
Peninsular railroad for damages amount
ing to 8, 1909, failed to bring in a verdict,
and Judge Norwood dismissed it yester-
day afternoon, declaring the case to be a
mistriaL
This suit has aroused a great deal of
interest by reason of the plaintiff being
a young society lady, and also because
of the unusual points in the case.
1t is not known what will be the next
step taken in the suit, but it is certain
that 1t will be tried again before another
jury.
In dismissing the case Judge Norwood
stated that he was sorry the jurors could
not render a verdict, but as they were
sworn to a duty resting upon their opin-
law, he would dismiss them and declare
the case a mistrial.
There were rumors to the effect that nine
of the jury favored rendering a verdict for
the plaintiff In full for the amount claim
ed, while three were in favor of a compro-
mise.
The stateHknts, however. could not be
substantiated, and rested purely on the
gossip about the court house. 1t is but
fair to say that the people around the
court house were much surprised when
the jury failed to bring in verdict.

THE SUNDAY DELIVERY.
Pho Regular Summer System Agnin
in Force.

AS the hot weather approaches It be-
comes necessary for housekeepers to look
carefully into the food they prepare for
the table. 1t is absolutely important that
everything should be perfectly fresh be-
fore 1t is cooked. It's the time when great
care should be taken to keep your refrig-
orators filled with ice. H. Logan. the
butcher has undertaken to aid the house
wife in getting perfectly fresh and whole
some food. He inaugurates his regular
Sunday delivery system this morning, and
all who ordered their Sunday supplies
yesterday will have them delivered
promptly before breakfast to-day. This is
great convenience to families who do
not care to take the trouble of packing
away their meats fruits and vegetables
over Saturday night
The people of Savannah would guard
their interests and health if they would
go to the market to select their food in
stead of taking chances of getting sick by
eating unwholesome food bought all
around the town. They will also find it to
their interest to compare the choice offer
ings of pure meats at Logan's, with the
kind they find elsewhere.-ad.
