scientific dietary principles are followed
is the contention advanced by Miss Win
fired Gibbs, dietitian and social worker
on the staff of the New York Associa
ton for Improving the Condition of the
Poor in dietary manual ,called, Some
Lessons in the Proper Feeding of the
Family" about to be published. The
book is to be brought out by the associa-
ton for distribution among the tene-
ment house dwellers. ''Too much money
is spent on beer and coffee and pickles
that should go for health giving foods, "
says Miss Gibbs. "Then, too, the ma
jority of women 1 call on are ignorant
of what is best for them to buy to nour-
Ssh their families"
Miss Gibbs says that she has worked
out her 10 2-3 cents a day per capita
menu scientifically and that the nour-
ishment furnished will just replenish the
strength spent in the course of one aver
age day. She would not, however, ad-
wise this minimum fare unless it is abb
solutely impossible for the family to
spend more on their diet.
The food standards worked out by the
government experts at Washington have
been USED Dy MISS GlDDS In preparing
her cheap fare. Following is a typical

The Morganatic Marriage.

The word morganatic is from the late
Latin ''morganatica." morning gift, a
kind of dowry given on the morning be-
fore or after the marriage. The term
is derived from a still older German
or Anglo-Saxon word, morgen, and re-
fers to one of the customs connected
with marriage which was always a part
of ''left-handed" alliances and so became
especially associated with them. The
term '1eft-handed'' in this connection
had its origin in the circumstance that
the bridegroom hands his left hand in
stead of the right to the bride in the
celebration of a morganatic marriage.

Horrible Example.

A certain bishop was famous as being
the plainest man of England.
One day, as this homely parson sat
in an omnibus. he was amazed by the
persistent staring of fellow passenger.
who finally said:
"Look 'ere, parson, would you mind
comm 'ome with me to see my wife?'
Imagining the wife was sick and need

inconvenience to himself, went On ar

The members of a group of eminent
English physicians have subscribed to
the following declaration: eve have no
hesitation in saying that we consider that
school and cross-country races exceeding
one mile in distance are wholly insult
able for boys under the age of 10, as
the continued strain involved is apt to
cause permanent injury to the heart and
other organs" This is warning as
much needed in the United States as
anywhere else, for American athletic
youths are as prone as their British
brothers to overdo.

Andrew Carnegie's peace proposal that
the United States defend British ports
on the Atlantic coast in return for a
similar compliment on the Pacific coast,
and in Hawaii and the Philippines,
amounts practically to a merging of the
naval power of the two nations and the
formation of navy that would be large
enough to provide fleets galore for de-
fence purposes. Mr.. Carnegie is quite as
interesting in this as he was in the re-
cent tariff inquiry.
