Cleveland, Dec "a pickle, pref
Eel, and dish of ice cream; that's what
used to constitute the lunch of Cleve-
lnad high school girl. A pint of
pure, tuberculin tested milk, bowl
Of hot soup and sandwich; that's the
rew menu of the majority of Cleve-
land high school girls for luncheon
today.
Strict supervision of high school
lunch rooms has worked the change
from an unwholesome, digestion-de-
stroying diet to wholesome, health
producing luncheon, without any ap-
preciable increase in,cost.
1--WE don't eat things because we
ought to but because we like to-" said
DR.. E. A. Peterson, lunch room super
visor who brought about the change.
That's the theory we have been work
ing on. It's the best psychology to
get people to do thing because it is
a pleasure, not because they ought to.
eve made lunch room proprietors
put in tuberculin tested milk in place
Of the milk with lower per cent of
butter fat, and got the girls to drink
it by putting up attractive posters
advertising it. The hardest item to
replace in the girls menu was the
ice cream. Here again we resorted
to psychology and had sandwiches
displayed in tempting style, all the
while discouraging the eating of ice
cream at lunch. Needless to say the
girls do better in their studies on the
common sense diet"

MARKET REPORTS
LOS ANGELES PRODUCE

Los Angeles, Dec. 10--The weak
ness which has been apparent in but
ter for some time was manifested
yesterday when it declined on the Los
Angeles produce exchange to Sic a
pound for the California creamery eX-
tras. The former quotation was Soc,
but heavy selling yesterday forced it
down to first 32c and then to Bic.
Eggs also declined yesterday, the
fresh ranch case count selling on the
exchange for 43c dozen at the final
sale. Later they were offered for as
low as 42c a dozen but there were no
sales at that figure. Eggs have de-
clined steadily for over week, as
the supply has increased when the
falling off in the demand, brought
about by the former almost prohibi-
tive quotations.
With the icrease in the supply of
new oranges which are coming into
the local market prices have fallen
and dealers say that they will be
cheaper still in short time. Local
navels sold for $3.50 box yesterday
and the northern stock, which comes
from around Porterville, brought
S2.75. The apple demand is strong
at present although there have been
few changes in prices for about two
weeks.
The following butter and egg quo
tations aer taken from actual sales
on the Los Angeles exchange. Selling
prices to the trade Sc and 4c higher on
eggs and 4c higher on butter.
Butter, per pound, fresh extras, Sic; /;
fresh firsts, 29c.
Eggs, per dozen, case count, 43c;

New York, Dec. 1O-Disregarding
all other influences our market was
steady to strong all day, under short
covering over Fridays government
crop estimate and bulling by leading
short interests. Southern markets
steady at generally unchanged prices
while the indifferent demand from
spinners and delayed transportation
in the southwest due to flood condi-
tions in Texas was reflected in the
lighter crop movement. The stubborn

fruit of knowledge and understanding.
We are living in an age in which there
Is strong tendency toward the destruc-
ton of the narrow bridge which sepa-
rates the true "elegante" from the pro-
fessional beauty who delights in posing
under a strong limelight. We are rap
idly losing our sense of balance. IL is
time to call halt.
On or about August Is the famous
Deauville week will begin. This race
week crowns the season at Trouviile-
Deauvtiie. and II certainly may
be said to be one OF the most delight
ful and attractive race meetings in Eur
rope. Deauyille Is charming seaside
resort 1t is separated from Trouville
by a narrow strip of water and each
year 1t becomes more and more popular.
1t used to be the fashion to have a villa
on the heights OF Hennequeville. which
overlook Trouvilie. Henneaueville IS
still very fashionable, but 1t is sur
rounded by roads which attract the mo-
florists and in consequence 1t is very
dusty. Deauville Is close to the sea, 1t
Is comparatively quiet, though 1t pos
eesses its own clubs and a splendid
casino. and 1t Is within few minutes
drive Of Trouville. 1t Is not surprising
that the villas OF Deauyiile are eagerly
sought after.
I have sketched this week a splendid
wrap which was specially created for
the Deauville race meetings. It Us made

show bold, stencil patterns on con-
trasting ground. The gauze is cieverly
