Can You Live on Is Cents a Ddu9

| In lecture a the Brooklyn Institute
| of Arts and Sciences the statement was
made recently that sufficient raw food
material for the production of health and
energy could be purchased anywhere in
the United States within reach Of a rail
road for % cents per day per person.
This has given rise TO much comment.
In order to understand the main point.
it is necessary to consider the definition
of food as that which when taken into
the system builds up or repairs tissue q"
provides energy in the form of heat or
muscular power. II is important that
food should please both eye and palate.
especially the latter, but pleasure or sen
sation is not the purpose of food. We
eat 10 live is terse way of saying that
primarily the object of food is that of the
fuel in the steam engine
The cheapest fuel will be that which
supplies the most heat for the least
money, as the cheapest food is that which
supplies the most nutriment for the least
money. There is. however. a distinction
to be made between the cheap and the
economical in most commodities. II is
possible 10 conceive Of a thing cheap in
price, yet not economical. The most eco
nomical fuel for the engine is that which
supplies the most energy with the least
waste and for the least money. So the
most economical food is that which at
the least price is best adapted to the
needs Of the eater Whatever view is
taken Of the pleasures Of the table it re-
mains an irrefutable fact that the pri-
mary need of the eater is uourishment
The dangers OF overlooking are no less in
result or frequency than those of malnu-
triton. This must be comprehended In
order to make the arguments for the 20
cent dietary quite plain.
The scarcity OF a desired article raises

.erials viii be cheapest which are most

Always becoming and effective are the
lace gowns, but especially attractive for
summer, and for dinner and ball gowns
there is nothing prettier. The new fad
new this winter of making I'D the lace
gown over an underskirt of accordion

cost, but at the same time adds mar
yelously TO the beauty Of the gown. for

up these two materials the plain skirt
Is the best. the fiounced or rufied skirts
being too close to show the spangles on
the chiffon or net.
Draped effects are also fashionable in
thin materials. but. as q rule. are made
up with other fabrics. A thin crepe with
lace is, for instance. q fashionable COM

used. The crepe is draped. but the lace

makes the gown look as though It we're

though there are a great many exceed
ingiy fine ones IN the cottons and linens:
but for some unknown reason the plain
effects. with quantities Of lace and en-
bToidery, are thought smarter. and so
the price asked for the figured patterns
is less. \ great many Of the dressmak-
ers use lawn Innings instead OF silk fer
their gowns, but they are not SO efTae-
tive as the silk and the gown lined with

pensive muslin AMI lace gowns look bet
ter made up over lawn than silk. and IN
consequence one rarely finds at the ex-
Densive establishments gowns made Up
in this fashion. To be sure, there is al
ways silk. A princess combination OF
corset waist and pettcoat is one to wear
under all thin gowns, but no silk lin

higher price of perishabIe food. That
oranges should cost less in the midst Of

them. and that the grocer or fruit seller
must guard against loss by freezing or

evident. In buying the raw material

UNCLE SAM TO RAISE
GIANT TREES NOW,

Uncle Sam has been studying the
famous Big Trees and the Redwoods
of California. He has found that the
best of the mighty forests are in the
hands of iumbermen and will inevi-
tably be cut down. The gigantic trees
are worth so much money that 1t Is
useless to expect that the owners will
let the forests stand for merely senti-
mental reasons.
Realizing this, Uncle Sam has tried
experiments to see what could be done
to reproduce them. OF course he has
several national parks now where the
wonderful trees will be preserved as
long as they will live, which may be
for thousands of years. But that is
not enough. He wants to preserve all
the forests II he can.
Now, as a first result of his study I'm
Gle Sam has discovered that the great
Redwoods can be grown easily from
sprouts and that in thirty years
sprout will grow into tree eighty
feet high. SO by planting trees now
every time one Is cut down, 1t VIII be
possible to maintain at least proper
ton of the mamomth trees in all the
forests of the Pacific coast without in
terfering with numbering.

teresting and hitherto unknown things
about Redwoods and the Big Trees.
He finds that the genuine Big Tree is
of the same general family as the Red
wood, but of a different species. Both
are related to the Cypress. The
Redwood grows higher than any other
American tree, but the Big Tree beats
1t in thickness and in age.
On the fiat lands under the best

as high as $50 feet while 225 feet is its
maximum hight on the slopes. Most
of the Redwood that is cut is from 400
to 800 years old. After a Redwood
reaches an age of 500 years, it begins
to die from the top down. The oldest
Redwood studied was 1873 years old.
The Big Trees are even older than
this. Many of them stood, almost as
great as they are to-day, While Christ
walked in Galilee.
The Redwood resists decay so well
that there are sound trees living to-
day in the Redwood forests that fell
long before Columbus discovered
America. Through the periods of
Aztec and Spandard. through the
American Revolution, through the
Mexican War that led to the acquisi-
ton Of California, these mighty trees
lay prone, and they are sound to-day.
Recently a tree that had fallen 500
years ago. as the foresters could see
readily from certain surroundings and
| characteristics, was taken to a saw
! mill and 1t cut up into slabs Just as
good and beautiful as any taken from
freshly felled trees.

inside his stomach, playing just as If
it were accustomed to being swallow
ed. His stomach itched a good deal,
but so long as it was filled with gay
tunes the youngster didn't care.
Just as he began to wonder how
long 1t would last he happened to
touch his right ear and with snap
and a double click the thing stopped
He pulled first the left, then the right
ear and found that he could start the
music or stop it as he chose, so he
closed the early performance and
went down to breakfast
In trying to eat a whole hot cake
at one bite he attracted the attention
of his father who reached around and
grabbed him by the ear. If it had been
the right ear everything would have
been well, but it was the left ear and
the pull was strong enough to cause
the machine to start up with "There'll
Be a Hot Time in the Old Town To-
night"
Mr.. Higgins let go the ear and
glared at his son, half in rage, half in
establishment. He tried to speak, but
the music saw him first and began
with Tell Me With Thine Eyes
"Zeke Higgins" shouted the father,
''what do you mean by this? Stop
that music at once, sir"
II can't, father" whimpered the lad
Then I'll show you how" and Mr.
Higgins clutched the right ear.
OF course the music stopped at
once. Giving the ear an extra hard
twitch Mr.. Higgins said, This is no
concert hall. Neither is it a wholesale
cake factory. Hereafter take nine
bites to a cake and stop carrying a
