FARMERS INSTITUTE.

No nation rises higher than its In
dividual homes. So says Miss Theo-
dosia Ammons, teacher of domestic
science at the Agricultural college at
Fort Collins. Miss Ammons spoke
briefly at the Farmers institute yes
terday afternoon. She said that only
20 per cent of the american homes
have help. The work she is engaged
In is called domestic science. She
explained that 1t taught economy in
time. economy In labor and economy
In money. One-half to two-thirds of
the money Is spent for food stufYs.
From woman's standpoint, she said
that foods were usually selected for
us, but we need to learn how to pre-
pare them. People eat too much for
their wellbeing. More people die
from overeating than from anything
else. The composition of the body
must be studied and people must
learn to simplify the foods and make
them OF the most value possible.
Miss Ammons claimed that men made
the best cooks because they cooked
according to rule.
She explained the work taught the
girls at The college. 1t Is four
years course for young women and
requires q high school diploma.
There Is also a two-years' course,
which requires a diploma. and u three
months short course and two
weeks short course for farmers
wives. They learn sewing, kitchen
work. culinary or any other OF the
various lines they may choose
Books are furnished by the Individual.

cloth unless she 30 desires.

we're asked by those In the audience.

thorked.
A lively discussion followed over
the street commissioner. Alderman
Hanno was on the war path. He
called attention that Mr.. Dupraw In
sisted on written orders. Hanno said
this was right. But he added that
Dupraw did not obey orders and he
wanted to know whether Dupraw
was running the streets or the street
and alley committee Hanno stated
that when he ordered men and teams
to report Dupraw countermanded.
This brought Alderman Casey IL
the wrangle. moving that the street
be dispensed with
that II the commissioner had been
paid 50 a day and sent out OF town
the city would be thousand dollars
ahead. The motion was ruled out OF
order by the mayor.
Dupraw. In replying to Hanno. said

elected by the people and was respon-
ibIe for the street and allsy work,
