millet and bCclkWheat differ little from
corn in their average composition. In
dian corn runs 10 percent protein
while the average of the others in the
content OF this nutrient is II percent.
Corn, on the other hand gives more
fuel value than any Of the others and
thus should produce more energy, on
account of its high percentage of fat,

Red, White and Blue Corn.
Corn of different colors differs very
little in nutritive composition, though
there is a difference in flavor.
White corn seems to be preferred
in the southern states and Rhode
Island; yellow corn in most northern
states; while the red, blue and black
varieties have been largely used in the
southwest especially among the Span
ish people.
Uses Of Corn Meal.
Nutrition Investigations by the
United States department of agrioul-
ture show that over so percent of the
food consumed by the people OF the
United States is Of vegetable origin,
and that about One-tenth of this, or
81 percent of the whole is corn meal.
OF the total protein consumed, corn
meal supplies 10 percent; of the total
fat 13.S percent; and of the total
carbohydrates 1877 percent
Corn meal compared with other foods
OF a similar nature is low priced, and
when used alone or with other equally
low priced foods makes economical
dishes.
balanced Ration.
In well balanced dietary, the COM
position of corn meal would require
that it be combined with foods of
higher nutritive ratio of protein to
fats and carbohydrates such as milk,
cheese, meat, fish. or eggs for eN-
ample. There seems to be an in
stinctive tendency toward the use of
balanced 'rations. as indicated by the
early use of such dishes as succotash,

not one time in 1000 does it happen
that a boy and girl develop along the

the superior one must ever drag about

66NAN you tell me" writes lover,
how many nights a. week a

That is the point Of view Of the

sidered. The lover would call every
night. The parent, remembering how

The Difference.

Of short life, and the recollection brings
humiliation. InfatuatiOn means being
tricked in love.
Geraldine writes: Il have been keep
ing company for some time with a
young man, of whom I think great
deal. I 90 out with him quite often,
but have never invited him to my home
though he has asked to come, always
meeting him on the street. Ny reason
for this is that my home is small and
old fashioned. Do you think his feel
ings would be different to me if he

A serious question, from the View
point Of IS, and silly one in the
opinion Of those who are older. If a
young man loses his love for a girl be-
cause she lives in a house that is small
and old-fashioned he never loved her
in the first place, and the sooner she
puts him to the test, the better. She
imagines her action originates in pride.
It doesn't It is born Of snobbishness.
A Similar Case.
The girl who writes the following
has a lover in the same class:
Il care for a young man who cares
for me. His parents, as well as mine,

they should do away with these spe-
cial funds, that 800 oo0 was spent

He declared that instead of levylng
special taxes and putting them under

appropriated like every other tax. He
said there must be some reform and
