STATEHOOD BALL
 GRAND SUCCESS

That the Band Boys is a pop ular OrganIzation and can sue cssfully manage and get crowds, was proven to everyone's satis faction last Wednesday evening when the largest dancing crowd Tn the year took part in the Car nival of Fun at the Statehood Masquerade Ball. Over 200 dancers were on the floor. The special prizes (includIng a years ticket to all Band events) awarded were as follows: The best dancing couple, Mir. Rich ard Duggar and Miss Pauline Woods. The most comical gentle mans costume, MT. Arthur C. Smith, which was a sensation and a scream from start to fin ish. The most attractively cos tuned lady was an easy decision for the Judges who awarded the prize to Miss Jessica Reed who impetsonated "the Goddess of Liberty"
 Mention must be made of the funniest stunt ever seen in Win slow which originated with three of the Band boys: Geo Drumm, Willie Wright and little Buddie Clark, who represented two poor Dagos with a hand or gan and monkey begging the nickles Buddy as the monk, ) who got the goods but liberally spent it on candy to his little la- dy friends.
 The only obstacle in the way of success was the limited capacity of the Opera House. A letter ot regret was received by the Band from Governor Sloan who stated that he could not attend owing to the canvassing Board of Elec- tions being busy to hurry Arlz: ona into the Union.
 The Band wish to thank all who attended and especially the 1 tdies who assisted at the piano.
 The next big stunt will be the management of the Leap year Valentine Ball on Feb. filth, the date that all are now looking forward to. This will be an event that everyone in Winslow should cake personal interest, in the proceeds of which will go to the cemetery fund and which everyone should attend and assist.

sponge cake, fill with chocolate ice

whipped cream on the top of each,
sprinkle with chopped pistachio nuts

VIII COWS STOOD IN WATER
Artistic Limitations Responsible fer
Characteristic Attitude of the
Humble Bovine.

In a north of England town there
was a shiftless man who would never
accept gifts outright, although he was
always depending on charity. says Al
Priddy in his book, Through the
MILL relates the Youths Companion.
He painted landscapes. and my aunt,
when benevolently inclined. would
hire him to decorate our walls with
rural scenes, highly colored in glaring
tints, as II nature had turned color
blind. These were cows In every
scene, and Aunt Mile noticed that all
the cows were up to their knees in
water. Not one stood on the vivid
green hills.
"Jorvey,"' she remarked to the old
man. why do you always put the cows
in the water?"
It's this way. Mrs. Brindin," the old
artist responded. You see, ma'am, l
never learned to paint hoofs."

MEALS WITH LITTLE HEAT.

For those who feel that they cannot
dispense with meat entirely during
the heated term. there are many
dishes which may be favored with
meat In small quantities which serve
every purpose. The agricultural de-
partment tells US that two and a half
quarts of milk are equal In protein ma.
terial to a pound of average beef, nine
eggs have the same value, two-thirds
Of pound of ordinary cheese, half a
pound of peanut butter and two-thirds
Of q pint of dried peas, beans or lem
tbs.
There are still people who depreci-
ate the value Of skinned milk; it IL
most excellent for soup making. many
buildings and for use In bread and
rolls. Skim milk has nearly all Of the
food value left in 1t minus the fat.
This may be supplied il needed in any
of the dishes. so that the milk is as
valuable practically for food as II It
were unskimmed.
A cupful of meat added to dish of
vegetables or with dumplings makes
good favored dish, and the gravy
will make 1t go much farther. A mix
ture of two or three kinds of vegeta-
hies with a cheap cut of meat will
serve a large family. If housekeepers
studied the amount of meat necessary
per, capita for their family and what
was considered a suitable allowance,
there would be smaller meat bills and
better nourished families.
Excessive protein food is dangerous
as 1t imposes undue exertion on some
of the organs. Over-eating is com.
mon fault and many of the diseases to
which our flesh is heir might be done
away with if We were more abstemious
The suggestions to cure the meat
ridden" menu are the substitution oil
salads, milk and milk dishes, cheese
eggs and nuts.
Nuts are 80 good and wholesome
eaten with no accompaniment except
salt, made into croquettes or baked in
a loaf and served with a sauce as for
meat loaf.
Sudden changes are never wise; II
is better to gradually wean the family
from large quantities of meat by the
substitution of some of the above foods
little at time.
When cooking fowl add knuckle
of veal and the flavor will be nearly
as good for a pie as the chicken Itself
