DIETARY STANDARDS.
What Seems to Be the Average Mans
Daily Food Need.

Accepting the daily dietary standard
previously enumerated, and which are
based upon observations as 10 what
people are accustomed to consume il Is
plain that the average man doing from
light To moderate muscular work must
take each day approximately llG grams
of proteid matter Us grams Of nitrugeul
with sufficient fat and carbohvdrutr IN
Yield A total fuel value OF 5000 large
calofieS. The usual proportion of .carbu-
hydrate tmoStly Starchy food Is ahont
900 grams to Ju-6o grams of fat Ia
other words, the average man needs. ac-
cortling TO the above hypothesis approx
mately l2U grams OF protCid, 500 grams
OF carlo hydrate and 80 grams of fat for
his daily ration. In order to obtain thrS,
amounts OF nutrients he would require
per day. threc-fourthS of "a pound Of or
binary Tonst beef, one pound OF boiled
potato, onehalt pound of white bread
and one-fourth or pound OF butter
Naturally, much greater variety of food
might be- adopted with the same nutri-
tive values as the above; but these fig
ureS will suffice to give some impression
OF the quantities of ordinary cooked
foodstuffs required To yield the nitrogen
aud the total fuel value called for by the
above standard dietary.
\ more elaborate diet. one in large
measure free from meat and having IS
scntially the same amount OF nitrogen.
and with a total fue value of approx
matey 1000 calorieS, would be ns fol
lows: Fried hominy, six ounces; syrup.
three ounces, baked potato. eight ounces:
butter, one and Onc-half ounces: baked
spaghetti, ten ounces: mashed potato, ten
ounces; boiled turmp, six ounces bread,
two ounces. apple sauce, eight ounces;
apple-tapioca pudding, twelve ounces.
fried sweet potato. eight ounces; fried
bacon, one ounce; fruit jam. four
ounces. coffee, one and one-half pints
and tea, three-fourthS of pint. Such Il
diet, owing to its vegetable nature aad
lack of concentration, is naturally quite
yoluminouS. \ greater concentration of
diet is easily obtained by replacement Of
a portion of the vegetable matter by
meat; and this the ordinary man, with
his highly developed palate usually pre-
fers to do. because of the increased flavor
which his acquired taste now calls for.
Further, the resources At the command
of the civilized man render possible
great variety in matters of dict; but
whatever the character of the daily foot

that chat and scandal
Hang on the teapot handle"
Detroit News Tribune.
Gratitude and Thankfulness.

Philosophers will tell you never to ex-
pect gratitude.
But it would be dreary old world if
we neither expected nor gave gratitude
for kind actions.
And no matter what our lives may be
we all have great deal to be thankful
and grateful for.
When you perform kind action is it
not pleasant to feel chat it is appre-
GATED?
OF course. it is, and so you must not
forget to show your gratitude when 9TH
ers are kind to you.
Never hesitate to express your thanks
fully and freely: people may say they
don't expect it. but they like it just the
same.
And do not let your gratitude take the
form of lip service only. Return the
kindness i'll deed as well as in speech.
If you are invited any place, or if a
friend gives you "A present, put your
whole heart into your acceptance of the
invitation or the gift. Make the giver
feel that You heartily appreciate his
kindness.
And when it comes to a question of
thanllfulness, why, my dears, every one
Of us could fill volumes ON the things
that we have to be thankful for.
There are so many everyday blessings
that we take for granted. such as youth
and health and sunshine.
The mere fact of living in this beauti-
full world is enough to fill our hearts
with thanksgiving.
But we whine and fret because we
( haven't good clothes or can't 20 to a
dance. or are not as rich as our neigh
borS.
The next time that you feel discon-
tented and at odds with the world just
sit down and enumerate your blessings
for "a change.
You will be astonished to see how
many you have.
We take it quite as a matter Of fact
that we should grumble over our woes,
but we seldom make it practice 10 re-
ioice over our blessings.

Buying q Dress.

Remember that the finish of Il ready
made suit is the gauge of its worth TIE
Innings simply must be good, Many ex-
penstve-looking suits are delusions and
do not hold together because of poor
Innings. No frst-clasS suit is masquerade
ing around with an appearance of style
and cheap lining. Examine the col
lar, belt and seams. Look we'll into the
finish of Il buttonhole. and never let the
smallest detail of the making escape
Your watchful eye. If your money Is
limited, risk it all on the quality OF the
cloth and this finish and avoid trimmed
suits. \ cheap suit, trimmed, will be-
come wearlsome to your eyes. Unless
you are possessed of much means and
have Il number of street costumes. you
should not wear an elaborate walking
suit They soon lose their first false
freshness and are never suitable for
early morning wear.
If, when planning the winter ward
robe, YOU look over your stock of sum-
mer waists and find that they can be
utilized, YOU will save that amount at
least. The white linens which have seen
service during the hot months viii be
found suitable for Wear with all the

To say Il am sorry" when you have

How Hanna Saved John Ellsler.

Perhaps no other OF the many anecdotes
which have been told of the late Senator
Marcus A. Hanna shows more clearly the
mans true kindliness, his steady loyalty
to his friends, and, withal, bis innate
business shrewdness, than the following
about the strong right hand of helpful
ness which he once held out, in time
Of need, to old John Ellsler, the dramatic
manager:
About the time that Mr.. Hanna took up
his home in Cleveland, Mr.. Ellsler, whose
career is, to-day, one Of the traditions of
the American stage, built the Euclid
Avenue opera house there. He had put
practically all his money into the venture,
so that when some enemies started to
drive him to the wall, with the intention
OF buying In the property at some merely
nominal figure, they had very little
trouble In forcing the house into the
hands OF the sheriff. Mr.. Hanna had met
Ellser, and liked him; moreover, he feis
that the effort to bring the best ssshowss
into the West was one that deserved we'll;
edge of the crowd that had gathered to
see the new theatre change hands.
The bidding ran we'll, with Mr.. Hanna
always little in the lead, till, at length,
1t went to him. Then he made Mr.. Ellsler
his manager on shares, backed him up
generously, and, in general, so guided and
guarded the destinies of the house that
at length, it passed again into Mr.. ELL
ler's sole control, the transaction having
proved, financially, advantageous for all
concerned.
