For Women
Civic Pride.
By BETH JEFFRIES.

Whenever someone comes along and
accuses someone else of something, the
technical wsy in which to straighten
matters out, IS to accurately define that
thing OF which one is accused.
The other night, a prominent states
man and another man well known.
stood up and claimed that Washington
had no civic pride. Oh,
Perhaps we lack something. but thess
well meaning persons used the wrong
word. we arc sure they did. Here's
the proof
What is civic pride? We know what
pride means, and We think We know
what civic means, but II Is much easier
to translate the word civic into small
CT terms. civic interest is merely a
brosdened family interest, an interest
in the conditions which effect not only
ores intimate family but ones wider.
human family. the citizens of the identi-
cal community.
Civic pride. therefore is a broadened
family pride, an apotheosized family
pride il you wish.
Now the only right kinG OF family
pride, is that pride which Dictates,
and advance ones own family above all
things. Keep up the family before ex-
plotting outside interests
Civic pride, therefore would mean the
same thing only on q larger scale,
keeping UP our homes. instead of our
home. feeding and clothing our fami-
lies. instead of our family
According to a recent statement made
BY the Associated Charities to the ef-
feet that their finances, due to the CON
tributions OF the city of Washington.

many other cities. il would appear that
Washington has no small amount of the
proper brand of civic pride.

Cold Weather
Beverage
By MRS. CHRISTINE FREDERICK

Author OF The New Housekeeping.
Tea, coffee, cocoa-what shall our
hot drink be? Defenders of the cup
that cheers. but which may also con-
tain several grains OF caffeins or
theme, again rally TO their favorite
beverage now that colder days are
with us. Butterrnilk and all it's
cousins and aunts, plain milk and
cold egg and fruit drinks are being
neglected for that something hot
which We demand with the advent
of sharp winds and chill.
Even to many of US who like tea
as an accompaniment to lunch and
at other times cannot get down to
the viewpoint OF the Britisher who
wants tea for breakfast. Authorities
tell US that coffee Is dangerous there's
a reason), and Vet We must have
hot beverage to start the day right.
Self-respecting coffee fiends refuse
10 admit the possibilities of coffee
substitutes, and yet there are sew
eral OF these which. when made right
and served with cream, make a good
morning drink. one of these gain
ing in favor is a drink made from
the banana. Tropical jewellers have
long used this food-fruit in this way,
drying the pulp and grinding il. and
roasting il so that the beverage
brewed from il, while not in any
sense pretending to be a coffee, is a
pleasant, brown colored drink. Ii is
especially good for children or others
TO whom coffee is denied.
-'Why not cocoa" you ask. There
IS 10 more delicious drink than
cocoa. and il can be more widely
used than at present. But FOR many
the high amount OF fat present in
the usual makes Of cocoa, makes
this beverage hard to digest. es-

me recommend drink made
from cocoa shells. These are the
shells separated from the cracked
cocoa bean. They DO not contain
as much nutriment as ordinary
