FEEDING THE FAMILY,

Food is not necessarily nutritious in
proportion to its cost.
Proteid foods are those more expen.
sive and complex. such as meat,
cheese, eggs and milk. Carbohy drates
are the starch foods, such as potatoes.
rice and macaroni.
Brain workers need easily digesti-
BILE food; muscle workers find coars-
er foods better suited to their needs.
It is not necessary that any one
meal Of the day be balanced, but each
days dietary should contain proteids,
fats and carbohydrates in the correct
proportion, which is one part proteid
to five or five and one-half parts car
bohydrates.
We should not forget that butter,
eggs and milk, in combination with
other foods. count as foods.
Diet should be varied as we'll as
mixed, substituting rice and maca-
roni for potatoes.
Plant proteid, such as peas and
beans, take the place of meat. When
the meat allowance is small these
vegetables should be used rather than
cabbage, beets or turnips.
By planning meals several days
ahead it will be easier to arrange a
rightly balanced and varied diet
The water in which most of our veg
etables, all of the starches and cereals,
as we'll as meats are boiled or cooked,
should be saved, as they are valuable
foods in themselves.
Do not serve heavy dessert when
a hearty dinner has preceded it. Like
wise, never precede a hearty dinner
with a cream soup. Oyer-eating is not
only a willful waste of food, but is
the cause of many ills that our flesh
is heir to. 1t has been repeatedly
proven that one-third of our food cut
out would give us better health and
greater efficiency as to mental and
physical labor.
An excess Of meat or other animal
food is especially bad, as that which
is not assimilated clogs the system
and causes auto-intoxication. or, In
palmer words, self-poisoning.
1t is not possible to fix dietary
standard, as there are SO many things
that enter in to qualify it. Age, eli
mate, occupation and health are
some.

WITH OR WITHOUT oNE-PIECE TUNIC

The skirt with a simple tunic is always
pretty one for the younger contingent

very novel results. In this case, only
the trimming band is of a contrasting

and the skirt Of another, as a lowered

velvet; or the tunic of chiffon or other

Among the best reproductions are the
Sheraton and Adams type Of furniture
heading the list. These are very simi-

probably retained their popularity
largely because Of the attractiveness
and practtcability Of the buffets. The
Sheraton chairs and tables are also
charming in design. Mission types

also, though they may lack some of
the elegance Of design found in the
older types.
The lighting and coloring are the
important features. The color scheme

identification cards of policemen,
coachmen, cab drivers, commission
aires and servants have, since 1896,
borne their finger-prints. Upon all
passports and bank receipts for de
posits the imprint of the thumb must
be made at the time OF delivery. In
Roumania. since 1903, the thumb
print has been substituted for the
cross made instead OF signature by
persons who cannot write. In the
Philippine islands those who cannot
write are not obliged to be Identified
by witnesses at savings banks, but
merely have to make their mark with
their thumb. The same system has
been used In the banks OF Bengal for
