uASHINGTON.-After a seven-year
w lapse during the Roosevelt ad-
ministration men are again giving
teas. because President Taft does not
consider tea drinking mollycoddish.
During the last year Of the Roose-
welt administration men at teas were
very scarce. Even the diplomats who
were careless of Roosevelt's vigorous
iy expressed views (which often they
did not undcrstand) finally yielded to
the influence that eventually caused
but a handful Of them to be present.
Teas in the afternoon practically were
wiped OF the social slate.
Now this is all changed. Even the
United States army is becoming host
at teas. and Capt Sherwood a. Cheney
gave tea recently to Miss Roosevelt.
daughter os the man who believed that
an officer who would be host at a tea
was TO soldier. The officers at Fort
Myer and the Marine barracks expect
soon to give teas.
That tea of Capt. Cheney was the
third big tea of the season, although
the first to be given by an American.
Two other large affairs were presided
over. one by the secretaries of the
German embassy on the occasion of
the Emperor Williams birthday and
the other by the Marquis de Villalobar.

vantage of the occasion to receive

National Capital.
''Teddy" Absent, Capital Men Drink Tea

The five O'Clock tea" Is considered
by Washington hostesses who have
the spirit OF continental entertaining
as a happy medium between the
breakfast and the dinner. Breakfast
usually occurs at an hour when men
are already busy with their affairs.
while the dinner is looked upon as too
ponderous.
With the beginning Of the Easter
season the president and Mrs. TAFT
will again inaugurate their lawn par

afternoon teas. Meanwhile. Lent Is In
the propitious season for such infor
NAL entertainments. especially Of an

First. the distance is too great. and
attendance at them and the return
home to change for dinner requires
much time.
Hostesses in the capital do not
deny that teas without men are very
insipid.
With the presidential approval OF
this revival of afternoon teas-in fact.
with the desire of Mr.. Taft to see his
assistants and the naval and military
officers sparkle little more In the
social firnament-there is no question
that the tea will become within the
next twelvemonth the most satisfac.

Do farmers eat the proper sort Of foodf
The farmer Of today buys a much
larger proportion of the food that goes
on the table than he did ten years ago.
It's good thing that this is SO because
he has a great variety to select from.
He should, however, use great care
in selecting for the best results IN
health and strength.
The widespread tendency in the city
to increase :Se amount of Quaker Oats
eaten is due very largely to the recent
demonstrations by scientific men that
the Quaker Oats fed man is the man
with greatest physical endurance and
greatest mental vigor.
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten by
themselves, their children and the
farm hands. 81
