The crusade against the drug habit
led to the arrest of John Smith, a
10-year-old boy, at 18th and State

Standards Different.
Clothing for American women is
designed by a set of men of another
country, largely, who plan their
clothing for a different social order
of women. The standard of morals
here In America Is radically different
from that of other countries with
perhaps the exception of England.
Why should the styles which the
French male and female dressmakers

Buying by the Food Unit
1t Differs From Buying by the
Pound or the Dozen Because it
Considers the Waste Products
BY MRS. CHRISTINE FREDERICK.

~ D you practice the new buy
ing and the new marketing?
IL In a certain high school
last year experiments were
armed on by n gr0up OF high school
Eludents which were given a certain
sum OF money with which to Dur
hase the food supplies for a given
family for a week. The same sum
OF money was given TO several
housekeepers, and the results COM
Jared.
II Is interesting to note that the
nigh school girls got the better Of
IS housekeepers because they
oought by the food unit. and not
merely by SO many pounds or SO
many dozens. This meant that be-
fore buying a piece of meat or a
bunch Of vegetables the girl deter
mined how much nutriment she
would get from that piece of meat
or from those vegetables in COM
garrison with some other piece Of
meat or some other kind of vege-
tables.

does not cost 81 cents. but Sl.ls: not
"A cents pound. but "a cents a
pound. And the peas will cost more
Eearly 20 cents quart when the
waste of the shells is estimated.
Through a desire for economy we
may feel that short ribs of beef at
ls cents a pound are very econom-
zeal or that the turnip is a cheap
vegetable; but when the waste and
!efuse of bone and gristle in one case
Iabout 70 per cent? and parings and
tops in the other go per cent? is con-
sldered, the actual amount of sub
stance that can be eaten will be
Jound to cost considerably more
per pound. Similarly a roast Of
lamp, which We now buy with its
long bone and its netted fat. costs
even more than the 20 cents per
pound asked for.
The point is this: That in our
purchasing We should consider the
per cent Of waste compared with the
amount of actual nutriment which
the food offers when the waste is re-
moved.
On this basis some foods. which
apparently are more expensive per

The days harbinger, the morning star,
tangoes from the eastern blue to lead
the flowers Of May across the green
sward. Golden cowslips. pretty prim-
roses. hail the health of bounteous May.
Inspired SWANS WOO trembling maids,
youth and mirth and warm desire fill
the glens and forests, mountains and
valleys. towns and villages.
May is the birthday Of physical well
being. Teeming vigor, masculine bar
barity and girlish modesty were all born
in May. The very air is redolent with
the perfumes so enticing to youths of
both sexes. Rainbow showers, crimson
blossoms, blue buds and white woodbine
fairly dazzle the healthful senses.
Why does order and perfection rule
anew In May? How does II come about
that the senses take in the worlds OBJ
tects and the product of human thought
Is greater and purer at this time Of the
year than at other times?
Plainly the answer lies in the observa-
ton that children see more clearly and
with more accuracy, as well as less con-
fusion, than their elders.
The stirring physical stimulation and
tonic which courses violently in your
veins in May is analogous to the vigor
of youth and the clear vision of child
hood. Perhaps you arc bit less spirit
ual None the less you are all the bet
ter physically, all the sounder In your
senses Of color. fragrance, tone, feelings
and movements.
The bird scars more unerringly, the
fisherman fishes more patiently, the lass
allows her Ianguishing eyes to linger
moro Iongingiy, the athlete runs, jumps
and throws the discus more skillfully,
the laborer- works more efficiently now
than at other seasons because the May
time elixir of youth is in his blood.
Mating and loving. the beating Of two
iealthful souls with but u single,
fiowery thought are the characteristic
impulses Of May.
