GREAT PROSPECTS FOR NORFOLK

With an interurban railroad out of
Norfolk to Newman Grove, with a
projected Hartman railroad from
Winnipeg to the gulf, by way of the
Norfolk-Yankton route, with Norfolk's
territory in South Dakota expanding
with the Dallas-Carter extension, with
new Union Pacific depot in sight,
with a Y. M. c. A. building to go
up, with a Carnegie library nearly
finished and with paving about to be-
gin, as well as unusual activity in a
building way Norfolk faces the COM
ing summer with a smile which, in
stead of coming off, shows signs of
growing bigger as the days roll by.

Norfolk.

An interesting. controversy is going
on over statement made in the Lon
don Times that despite the beautiful
things said by poets of the country
and the delights of rural life, most
of them preferred to live in the cities.
However it may be with English poets,
our own Longfellow, Lowell, Emerson,
Holmes and Whittier, wherever they
lived, kept in very close touch with
fields, woods and flowers.

the body the question that
naturally arises is what foods should

how much should be eaten and when.
Personal peculiaritles must be taken

food and food values. A safe rule for
any person to follow is to avoid any
food which disagrees with him. There

A woman who has been married
seven years recently cleaned out

with red tape, and marked on the out
side, For Mary" She opened them,
and saw that they were receipts for
her trousseau bills. The woman's
best dress now is 5O-cent wool, made
by herself, and she has worn it two
years. When she read in the receipts
of lace she had put on corset cover
that cost 81 yard, she grabbed for a

largely water, woody fiber, with some
mineral matter and flavoring extracts,
and any of these ingredients can be
obtained from any other vegetable or
fruit and possibly at less cost to the
digestive organs.
Then, too, the matter of nourishment
and cost should always be considered
when planning the meals for a day.
When cucumbers. which are more than
90 per cent water, are selling for 20
cents apiece the hOusekeeper is hard
ly eXcusable if she provides them for
her family at the expense of eggs,
milk, bread or some other food from
which nourishment is derived. Eggs
contain about II per cent tissue build
ing material. Dried beans have about
20 per cent of the same constituent.
When the former are selling for 40
cents a dozen and the latter for 3
cents quart it is the part of wisdom
and thrift to have baked beans on the
table more frequently than omelets or

What Is For Breakfast?
Many hOusekeepers consider the bug

the menus for the ever recurring
breakfast, dinner and supper. They
hail with delight any suggestions for
new dishes that will furnish variety in
any bill of fare. Breakfast is general

simple menu should present some vari-

should be prepared with special care.
In my opinion, meat dishes should APP

quite enough starch, too, in the break

For your consideration let me suggest
one or two breakfast menus that will
be not only appetizing, but furnish the
required amount of nutriment as well.
Baked Apples.
Cereal With Cream and Sugar.
Bacon and Poached Eggs

Bacon and Griddlecakes.

enough variety to satisfy the most ex-
acting appetite and can be served In
quantity sufficient to appease any
hunger. The majority OF people wiz
