it's purchase. At such a rate the poor mechanic and his family might have purchased their food for a very much smaller expenditure. The childish taste of the eleven-year- girl who did most of the marketing led her to buy peanuts MT. Woods said that, though unconscious of her wisdom, in buying the peanuts she did very wisely. Though difficult to digest, ten cents worth or peanuts contained more nutrition than an equal value of any other food eaten by this family.
 The same criticisms were passed upon every case studied. The main cause or poverty in almost all of these was that weight or bulk was sought in food rather than nutrient value.
 These criticisms passed upon the food consumed in the slum tenements apply as well to the average person, according to the dietary experts. An ordinary housewife is apt to have more knowledge of the actual value of dress goods or carpets than of food. She knows little concerning the actual sources of nourishment which ordinary food contains. Many valuable lessons from dietary studies of the prosperous classes as well as of the poverty stricken are being learned by Govern ment experts.
 A number of interesting standards are used in these studies. One IS that of the food required by the average man. The average woman IS found to require about eight-tenths; boy or IA to Is years old about the same; girl of the same age seyen-tenths as much; a child 10 to 13 six-tenths as much; child to one-haf as much;

were selected from the tenements as subjects for the study. The invest1- gators spent about week with each family.
 During this time they carefully re- corded the qualities and quantities or food eaten at each meal. the prices paid for 1t, the weight of the food actually eaten, and the amount rejected as waste matter, the percentage of the various food nutrimentS contained i'll that eaten and wasted, and the age. nationality, income, occupation, ex- each member of each family. Separate accounts were kept of the food eaten by each person living in the houses as well as the visitors.
 The food bought for each meal was weighed before being eaten. Every morsel wasted in the kitchen or left on plates or dishes was carefully account ed for after each meal, and when the weight of this was deducted from that of the food as originally purchased. the difference represented that actually consumed. Samples of all food were carefully analysed. The analysis show ed the proportions, fat and carbohy- drates contained in each food pur chased. It being known exactly what weights were consumed, the amount of nourishment in the food eaten by each person could readily be learned. Ex amples of extravaganza as result of ignorance were found in each family. For instance, it cost about s31 a month, or about one dollar a day, for the food Exclusive of beverages and condi- ments) of a family of five, father, mother, two little girls and an infant

 Here are some quotations rom an unpublished diary of Lord Robert Sey- mour. who was born in 1748 and died in 1851:

When the Queen came to the throne her first public act was to go in state to St. James Palace to be proclaimed. She naturally wished to be accom- panied in her state coach only by the Duchess of Kent and one of the ladies of the household; but Lord Albemarle, who was Master of the Horse, insisted that he had right to travel with her Majesty in the coach, as he had done with William ". The point was sub- mitted to the Duke of Wellington as a kind of universal referee in matters of precedent and usage lis judgment was delightfully."- unfiattering to the outraged magnate-'The Queen can make you go inside the coach or out side the coach, or run behind like a d-d tinker's dog.
 Lord Shaftesbury told the following story of his uncle, Lord Melbourne:
 When the Queen became engaged to Prince Albert she wished him to be made King Consort by act of Parlia- ment. and urged her wish upon the Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne. At first that sagacious man simply evaded the point. but when her Majesty in sisted on a categorical answer, l thought 1t my duty to be very plain with her. said, For Gods sake, let's hear no more of it, ma'am; for if you once get the English people into the way of making kings, you will get them into the way of unmaking them.

roasts without impairing the nutritive quality Then the amount of eggs ana butter might have been reduced to the minimum amount that would give the food relish. Eggs at more than sixteen cents a dozen began to grow expensive and at twenty-five or thirty cents should be entirely eliminated if it is desired to cut off unnecessary expense. The money saved by the purchase of cheaper meats and less butter and eggs could be profit ably expended for flour and other cereals, bread, rice, beans or potatoes.
 One of the best and purest ways to inn them practical instruction and object les sons in the preparation of attractive yet simple and cheap foods. Unless it can be demonstrated that the changes pro and palatable diet as well as a cheaper and more nutritious one, people of the character of many of those whose dietary has been studied will scarcely trouble to follow any suggestions that may be made toward cheapening their food and con- fining 1t to the most nutritious food ma terials.
 From slum workers here who are toil- ing to better the condition of that class 1t is learned that the same errors are committed as in the New York tene- ment districts-namely, weight or bulk being sought in food rather than nu- trient value, and marketing and pre- pairing to poor advantage.
 However, not until pr. Jaffa has made his investigation can we have any positive knowledge of the dietary meth ods of the poor of this city. It will be interesting to learn whether our poor display more intelligence in the selec- tion and preparation of food than that which is shown by the dwellers in the slums of New York city.

 Of protein, called the "body and soul of food" and known to be its most nu- tritious constituent, a man without muscular exercise is found to require 100 grams daily, a man doing light mus cular work 112 grams and a man doing moderate muscular work 125 grams.
 Mr. Woods summed up his sugges- tions for reforms in the slums of New York as follows:
 It is impossible to lay down any hard and fast rule which shall govern the pur- very great extent be governed by the different local conditions of supply and demand, by individual peculiartties, and by the different circumstances surround ing the family life.
 In many families studied no attempt was made to set the table. The food was left standing on the bare table and the different members of the. family took nasty meals when 1t suited their conve- nience. Such cases should be remedied by complete change in the family cus- who does the marketing, so that more ju- dicious selections of food will be made and the tables set
 Throughout all these dietaries there was shown very little comprehension of the nutrftive value of food purchased, se- lections being made according 70 some Whlm or taste, the presence of certain food materials in the market, or because the housekeeper had become accus- toned to purchasing certain foods. The families spent more than they could really afford for food, and yet frequently re- ceived insufficient nourlshment.
 How these people could have obtained more nutriment for the money expended or even for less, can only be answered in general terms. In the first place the cheaper cut of meats for stews and pot roasts might have replaced almost en, tirely the more expensive steaks and

 At dinner at Balliol the Masters S guests were discussing the careers of two Balliol men, the one of whom had just been made a Judge and the other a Bishop.

 In his collection of repartees MT. Russell has many old friends, but all are good. Here are a few examples:
 Lord Bowen is immortalized by his emendation to the Judges address to the Queen, which had contained the Heep-like sentence: Conscious as we are of our own unworthiness for the great office to which we have been called Wouldn't it be better to say, Conscious as we are of one another's S unWorthiness?

 Since more than half the incomes of the bread winners of Christendom are spent and must be spent for their food
 then any information that enables the laborer to select his food according to It's nutritive value, and to prepare 1t in
 the most advantageous manner, must
 result in much saving of his hard earned money

 private individuals have assisted by generous donations. A mans nourish- ment Is such an important factor of his producing power that the subject of nutrition is of vast and vital import ance.
 Tn studying the diet of the poor we shall find out exactly what kind of nu triment the people eat, and by compari son of their actual food consumption with physiological standards. show how their diet might be improved.
 It has not yet been decided who will assist Dr. Jaffa in this work, but in all probability it will be MT R. s. Louis of the chemistry department, who has made special study of diets and has worked on these lines with Dr. Atwater himself.
 pr. Jaffa will conduct the work in the same manner as the food experts who have studied New York slum life, as applied to the question of food.
 These experts have learned from con- stant association that poverty is often the offspring of ignorance. They have discovered that the poor are still poorer because they do not know what sort of food to buy. Poverty is due to un- wise expenditures rather than to small ness of income.
 The practical work in New York city was done by Mir. Charles D. Woods, a food specialist, who is one of Dr. At waters principal assistants. The great CT part of the study was made in the lower east side tenements. Persons

 One morning late in August Mrs Reid and Mrs. Marshall came in from @ stroll and reported they had seen deer on the mountainside.
 Dropping her dish-washing task, Miss Swasey grabbed a heavy rifle and put off to the mountain. With her sleeves rolled to her elbows, just as she had left the dishpan, away she sped, lug ging a gun whose weight almost equaled her own.
 Not more than half mile from camp a spike buck sprang into view. Before she had time to catch her breath, with a bound the buck crossed her path in direct range.
 AS the deer paused to look back, Miss Swasey raised the heavy rifle, took steady aim and fired. The deer turned a somersault in the air and fell with a broken neck.
