READY-TO-EAT FOODS.

An example Of the manner in which
the public is induced to pay exorbitant
prices for articles of food under the
guise of reducing the cost Of living is
afforded by the item of bouillon cubes,
which for some time have been heavily
advertised by manufacturers as high
ly concentrated meat essences.
The department of agriculture has
issued a bulletin advising the public
that while these cubes are more or
less stimulative they have little or no
real food value and are relatively ex-
pensive in comparison with home
made booths and soups.
According to the analysis % bouil-
Ion cubes made by the experts of the
of from one-half to three-fourths
common table salt and as they range
i'm price from ten to twenty cents an
ounce they are expensive without be-
ing nutritious. They tickle the pallet
and perhaps for the moment satisfy
the stomach's craving for food. but
contribute very little TO the nutrition
u the DOuy
Doubtless similar criticism would
apply TO other food preparations
placed on the market. which il is
probable are extensively used because
Of their convenience rather than by
reason of any known food value.
Housekeepers and their maids are
easily persuaded by glowing advertise
ments 10 take the easiest way 10 the
discharge Of their duties
For example it is much easier to
drop a cube in a vessel of hot water
and serve IT in the name of bOuillon
or soup, or To open can OF bOuillon
or soup prepared by some manufac-
turer, but it is much more expensive
than the good. old fashioned way OF
keeping a pot of soup stock on the
back of the stove. and the purchased
bouillons and soups do not compare in
quality with the homemade variety.
Ready foods are in harmony
with the artificial tendencies of pres
ent day life. In too many instances
they are false pretenses.

WE were about TO ask what had be-
come of all the high school girls when
We were advised that they are painting
their cheeks and turning in their col
lars. The explanation has a double
significance.
INSTEAD. we will ask what has be-
come OF the once we'll known single

which had such a whirl for While.
PERHAPS we came TO the sane
conclusion that if we can stay on two

couldn't stick to one track at all.

she has nurtured this ambition for
twenty years. Being policeman is a
perfectly respectable though much
abused employment. but the American
people would not care to leave the
selection of its presidents TO one whose
conceptions and ambitions have no
higher range than wearing a star and
twirling a club.
Incidentally we wonder that such a
person could have been elected presi-
dent OF the American Woman suffrage
association. II must be assumed that
the association is on a level with its
president in its conception of Ameri-
can citizenship and the privileges
thereof. Certainly such standards are
not encouraging TO those who are
lending their aid and encouragement
TO the suffrage movement.
We are inclined 10 believe. how
ever, that when DR.. Shaw made these
statements concerning the fitness of
men for the presidency and her own
ambition She was intoxicated by the
excitement Of her reelection and was
hardly responsible for her utterances.
We hope that when the doctor be-
comes more calm she will modify her
stric ures.
As fitness for the franchise is TO be
a large factor in securing national
Legislation in favor of votes for wo-
men it will be the part of wisdom to
establish that by manifesting an in
telligcnt appreciation Of what man
has done for this country OF ours.

THE EUGENIC MARRIAGE.

Though the eugenic marriage has
not appealed powerfully to popular
sentiment it is not without its enthu-
siasms Hence will not be without its
martyrs.
An Atlanta girl. Miss Roberta Bren-
nan. has offered herself as candidate
for the eugenic marriage being ar
ranged by the Medical Review of Re
views sociological fund. Miss Bren-
nan is classified as a society girl. what
ever that means. and declares t9at the
eugenic marriage appeals TO her as
desirable. especially in its relation to
offspring She is also of the opinion
that il is not repugnant to romance.
A healthy man and woman" in the
opinion Of Miss Brennan. cannot be-
come intimately acquainted without
being drawn close 20 each other"
This must be regarded as an ad-
vanced idea, and almost Spartan in its
simplicity. IL makes marriage a purely
physical affair, on par with stock
breeding. How ear the advocates OF
eugenic marriages Will get with such
a proposition is more or less specula-
tive. but we are OF the opinion that
the progress will not be rapid.
Miss Brennan's prediction that 1T
will not be long before young women
will lose the false modesty which has
prevented them from investigating
matters so important as marriage and
the future OF the race" is more ac-
reptable. Men and women should
marry for love II the person loved is
worthy and physically lit, but the ad-
visibility OF marrying purely for rea-
sons of physical fitness will be doubted
until proved.
The experiment for which Miss
Brennan and others have volunteered
viii be OF interest TO the civilized
world. holding out as it does a hope
for the physical improvement of the
race. but il it succeeds il will be the
first substitute for the old fashioned
conception OF marriage that has stood
the test.
Meantime It Will be the part of pru-
dence for men and women 20 know
that the objects OF their affection are
duly qualified for marriage. if they
care anything about that part OF it.
