SCIENTIFIC MEAL
 FOR ONLY 10 CENTS

A scientific restaurant where one may obtain enough nutrition for 10 cents is to be opened in the Bowery. It has been scientifically demonstrated that enough properly balanced food to keep an average man in good condition Is not expensive, says the New York W orld
 The food which if is proposed to serve at this restaurant for 10 cents contains enough calories Cheat units) for an average person doing light work. Prof. Graham Lusk. of the department of physiology at Cornell Medical college, has arranged the menu based on the Q assumption that persons engaged in different kinds of labor require differ ent amounts of calories. A man who lies abed 24 hours requires only 1880 calories day; rider in six day ticycle race requires 10000 calories. A man abed for eight hours and In a chair fourteen hours and having mod crate exercise for two hours requires 2b00 calories The average farmer needs $500 calories.
 The meal which will be served at this scientific restaurant will give ex- actly 1000 heat units. enough for a luncheon for a man doing light work.
 Professor Lusk has arranged this menu. giving 1000 heat units for TO cents
 2-3 ounces of beans.
 1 ounce of pork.
 2 Ia ounces of butter. ounces of milk and ounces of coffee.

 Three such meals mean 5000 heat units. and If one eats a heavier meal in the evening. with this scientific luncheon of beans and pork, he will obtain enough calories for anything less than ha rd nbyafcaI 1ahor
 Professor Lusk at meeting of the Academy of Medicine. In March, said he wished that some public spirited person would establish restaurants where an almost ideally nutritive meal Of pork. beans, bread, coffee and milk could be served for 10 cents. A Bostonian, George Y. Banchor. of A Broadway. communicated with Pro- lessor Lusk on the subject. and as 3 result MT. Banchor is preparing to open Ia restaurant in the Bowery on Profcs- sor Lusk's. plan.
 1T know said Mir. Banchor. that a iplate of beans and pork can be sold food; I can eat them twice a day nearly every day. In opening such 6 lrestaurant it is important to select z location handy to large number o lpeople who cannot afford high pricei 1 for meals. I agree with Professor LusE that the Bowery is the place But what part of the Bowery? To deter mine this I am consulting settlement workers"
 Professor Lusk has written Mir. Ban. chor:
 "If you can establish such restau- rant in the Bowery. I believe you will get all the custom want. I do not know of . better charity than to give |n beggar a meal ticket for such a ~Yo no u{ {<., Of doing a great piece of educational work"
 Mr. Banchor remarks: While be- lieve this to be good educational work, I think could make the restau- rant pay"

CEASE C[AMOR
 ID RETURN HOME

Washington. August 1o-Americans in Europe have stopped clamoring to re turn home. according to today's state de- partment reports. Ambassador Page. al London. cabed that while steamers sail ing Saturday carried 5000 Americans. since the treasure cruiser startetd and banks began advancing cash on demand. many of those who first besieged the embassy for appeals for transportation have ex- pressed willingness to remain indefinitely.
 Secretary Garrison estimated tonight that the number of Americans stranded in Europe who wish to return home has dropped to 5000. He doubts whether it will be necessary to send any vessels across to bring these people to the United States. as commercial lines appear to be able to take care of them all. One or two ships, he thinks. may have to be sent to some ports where Americans have congregated beyond the reach of neutral commercial vessels.

SAYS PROHIBITION ISSUE WILL BE UP EARLY IN SESSION Brindley of EtOwah Will Ask for Some Investiga-
 tiOns on the "Very
 First Day"

IT an extra session of the legislature in November is dependent on the sur render of prohibitionists." there will be no extra sesion. in the opinion of A. k. Brindley of Gadsden. MT Brndley. who Is member of the legislature with ere dentials for service during another term, declared that he, for one. would not agree to be good while the gov ernor endeavored to immortalize him self by reforming the states Judicial system
 Tt seems to me-" said Mr. Brindley, that if it is now necessary to reform | the judiciary. it was just as neces- sary some months ago--or when the legislature was in session in 1911. It also appears certain to me that the al- |leged determination on the part of the governor to call the legislature togeth- CT in ovember-which determination grew out of an alleged caucus in Mont gomery last week--has for its object some scheme not connected with any re- formation.
 Therefore. the prohibitionists. in my opinion, will. in the event of an extra session, proceed to act just as they are determined to act in a regular sesion Speaking for myself, l will make no promises. "On the other hand. l will introduce on the first day of the session a resolu- ton calling upon the governor for ar itemized statement showing how the con tingent fund was expended. l will also introduce resolution calling on the gov ernor for all the correspondence relating to the recent investigation of the convict department, and for the appointment oi . a committee for the purpose of investl. gating by the legislature the department especially the transactions of the de pertinent when 1t was under the super. vision of former officials, and at the time when Theodore Lacy misappropriated funds of the department. And I will or the first day begin the fight in the legis- lature for statewide prohibition. An extra session in November would
 in my opinion, net no good to tho state in return for the expenditure of $40 GOO or
 S5o,0oo which the session would directly
 cause. If the governor desired any first
 class legislation we would aid him in ac.
 | complishin2 his purpose But it is cer.
 | tain that matter as important as tho
 ! eformation of the judiciary could not b,
 accomplished in any limited period oi
 | ttme especially when there would be con
 stant interruptions in behalf of other mat
 ters deemed of equal importance to tn,
 glory of the state"

the culture of this fruit: Tankage or
Peruvian guano, 600 pounds per acre;
fine ground bone. 1000 pounds; low
grade sulphate of potash, 600 pounds;
nitrate Of soda, 100 pounds. All these
materials may be mixed, applied after
blowing and before setting plants and
thoroughly incorporating in the soil by
narrowing. Dried blood, 1000 pounds
per acre; low-g grade sulphate of pot
ash, 600 pounds, tankage or Peruvian

Stag by itself. but all of the others
may be mixed before application.

Bad Weed in the Pastures.

Burdock is biennial plant with a
large, deep tap root. The leaves,
which are large, are generally fuzzy
beneath and the leaf stock is hollow.
The first year the plant merely devel-
ops leaf and root ssytem. The sec
s'ond year the branched towering stalk
is sent up, sometimes six feet high.
AT the ends of the branches purple
tipped flower burs are formed. The
gburdock is especially bad in sheep
land horse pastures, as the burs get
into the wool of the sheep and names
and tails of the horses. Burdock
flowers in July and August and seeds
in September 1t is typical back yard
weed, but is found in fence corners
and all waste places.
Continued cutting will exhaust the
plants, and, in time exterminate them
The process may be fastened by cut
ting off deeply below the surface and
applying handful of salt or few
drops Of gasoline or kerosene to the
root of each plant.
