IA housewife who does much OF her
own cooking longs to get away from
the hot stove and the monotony of
preparing the same kinds OF foods
day after day. This is not an un-
natural desire either from the stand
point OF preparation or OF the bodys
needs. Change and variety always
lend a charm To work which must be
performed and there is no reason why
we should not make our work agree
able since it is our life Recreation is
merely means OF keeping Us efficient
that we may perform our duties well.
Because OF the heat in summer
which makes much cooking unpleasant
and because the woods and fields call
out u IL to come and grow with the
growing things around Us, and because
we wish to answer this call knowing
that by so doing we are increasing
our usefulness i'll every way, there
must be some readjustment OF our
routine household duties if we are still
10 enjoy them and yet provide the
necessary food for the family.
We ind it much pleasanter to pre-
pare fresh. crisp salad, which may
contain a store oil adequate nourish-
ment than to brol a steak. and the
small amount OF heat necessary to
prepare geatine dessert is much to
be desired in contrast with three or
four hours OF fire necessary to steam
fruit pudding.
Then from the body standpoint. we
find by little study and investigation
that the lighter foods are much more
desirable but that care must be taken.
a. always. that both the right amour,
OF food material is supplied and that
it is in the right proportions of the
various kinds OF food
There are two things which our food
must do for us, winter or summer, no
matter where we live or what our
occupation First. it must build up
Our bodies and keep them in repair;
and second, it must furnish power for
our bodies to move and act at the
direction OF the mind
There are certain kinds of food
which are better adapted than others
for each OF these separate functions.
H. order to build up or repair the body
tissue we must have food which con-
tains the kind Ct material we are
endeavoring TO produce That IS in
order to build muscle we must furnish
foods such as eggs. milk, meat, cheese.

etc. which contain the same sub
stances as muscle in such form that
the body can transform it into muscle.
Again. if we wish to furnish heat and
energy in order that the muscles may
obey the dictates OF the mind and
will. we must furnish food which
may be burned or oxidized by the
body and thus furnish the thing re
CURED
There is just about the same waste
in the body material the year around,
which must. il we are kept at point
OF highest efficiency. be resuppied
each day However, the amount OF
heat and energy we require varies
with the temperature and the amount
oil exercise we are taking. Therefore.
in the summer when the days are
warm and we may be having less
bodily activity we shall not require
a much heat and energy producing
food as in the winter when we are per-
haps more active and the mercury
falls low in the thermometer. Ii the
order OF our duties are reversed, and
Our greatest activity comes in the
summer. then we must provide for
it. but with equal demands in winter
and summer we shall need less in
summer owing to the extra amount OF
heat in the atmosphere which we need
not supply Our tissue building foods
also yield heat and energy, and if
used in excess overtax the organs of
digestion and assimilation, thus max
ing a still greater demand for energy
producing food in order that these
organs may do the extra work laid
upon them.
Therefore. in summer we should
reduce both kinds OF food: the tissue
building food to the limit of the body's
needs and the fuel foods such as fats
sugar. and starch according to the tenn
perature of the air and the amount
of work or action we expet from Our
bodies

State insurance Commissioner
Is Removed from Office.
POLITICAL ACTIVITY CHARGED
Action Follows Rebuke Given by
Governor for Ekern's Championing
of Assemblyman Johnson's Candi-
dacy-Contest by Ekern Probable.

Madison-Insurance Commission
er H. L. Ekern has been removed
from Office by Gov. McGovern upon
charges of wilful neglect of his du-
ties, misconduct. and violation Of the
statutes under which he was appoint
ed, which provides that he shall re-
frain from political activity.
The notice of discharge was served
upon Mr.. Ekern after a stormy two
hours conference between the COVER
nor and John A Aylward and M.
Olrich, Ekern's representatives. Mr..
Ekern will probably take steps to re-
sist his dismissal.
Commissioner Ekern stated that
he would not submit to the COVER
nor's order and that he would con-
tinue to perform the duties of insur-
ance commissioner until forcibly
elected. 1t is understood the COVER
nor will not Immediately take such
measures
On the day preceding the repub-
lican caucus on the speakership
a sensation was caused by Gov. Nc
Govern when he notified Insurance
Commissioner Herman l.. Ekern that
unless his political activities We're
abandoned the governor would re-
move him from office. The COVER
nor's warrant for this is the law
which provides that the commission
er shall not serve on or under any
political committee or act as manager
for any political campaign or candi-
date.
Commissioner Ekern was called to
the governors office, and upon IN
formation the executive had received,
that the commissioner was managing
Assemblyman Johnson's campaign
for the speakership, was tersely told
what the result of his continuing ac-
tivity would mean.

Board Quiz.

Washington, Jan l0.-President
Taft sent special message to con-
gress on Wednesday asking that an
appropriation of $250,000 be made for
the continuance of the work of the
commission on economy and efficiency
which has been investigating the exec

In his message the president points
out that there is no greater service
that can be rendered to the country
than that of the continuance of the
work of the commission until some
form of organization is provided for
continuously doing this kind Of work
under the executive"
The president expresses the opinion
that the technique and procedure or
every branch and Office of the govern
ment should be submitted to the pains
taking examination as that given
those on which reports have been
made. To do this, however, President
Taft says ample funds must be proV1d-
ed, and asks that congress make the
$250,000 appropriation by March 4 for

BY u. S. SUPREME COURT
James A. Patten and Others Lose
Fight to Quash Indictment
Case Sent to Trial.

Washington, Jan. Sin far-reach-
ing decision the Supreme court of the
United States on Monday laid down
the principle that corners" of inter
state commodities such as articles of
clothing and food are in violation Of
the Sherman antitrust law, and held
that those who attempt to form them
in the future will be criminally prose-
cuted.
The courts opinion was handed
down in the so-called Patten cotton
corner" case, in which James A. Pat

Col. Robert M. Thompson, Sydney ].

dicted for manipulating a corner in
cotton in 1910.

cotton corner were given as 100000

straint of interstate commerce and
