The largest class yet to be grad

the class of 1915. who received their
diplomas at the commencement ex-
ercises held in the opera house last
evening.
The class consists of sixteen men,

through the twelve grades of the
Miller public schools. the others

through the grades, or still later on
at the beginning of the high school
course.
Some of the class will join Hand
County's teaching force, having
been successful in securing certifi-
Gates at the recent examination, and
others may enter college. But if
they go no further in the search for
knowledge, so far as actual school.
ing is concerned, they are well
equipped with a fair education to
enter life's school where they meet
the real test Of being worthy mer
and women. The foundation has
been well LAID by their early
training at home and school
and whether they build successfully
in the years to come IS largely with
IN their own power. May they
make the most of their %opportuni
ties.
The high school from which these
young people receive their diploma
has grown from an enrolment il

present enrolment of near 80. Tn,

the bride of June, with her cherry

successful marriage depend upon me
entirely?"

Remember, if he fails in his part
and does not support you, you have
redress; according to law you can
get a divorce for nonsupport, but if
you do not spend judiciously the
money that he earns, il you know
nothing of the real duties of home
making and are careless; if you neg
lect through selfishness or want of
knowledge the children that are born
to you-he can do nothing. He can
only grit his teeth and make the most
of a bad bargain.

thing to say-the truth is usually
unpopular-but it is, nevertheless, a
fact that there are things more con-
ducive to a happy marriage than love

these are very necessary if you would
carry out your part of the marriage

c'nlrageously faced the problem Of or

to teach them to realize their civic du-

them what can be accomplished by in

loved him for his courage. but were
sometimes irritated by his strictness.
Yet in spite of this exacting severity
be was Unexpectedly lenient when a
large occasion demanded it.
One day when the regiment was "dr-

He did not stop the firing. but when
the number of rounds ordered had been
completed he rode up to the line and
said: . .
Boys there's Il bad shot in the
Tenth. He nearly shot my trumpeter.
and what should l have said to the
boys mother? I don't want to know
the blackguard's name. The officers
will not examine the mems pouches"
This was on the Eve Of q campaign.

came to him and said: Don't put your;

Cookery
Notes
Lent.n Meat, Substitutes.

eUUSW "O0S' S00ossS0SOOs
With the approach of Lent, when the
supply of meat will be cut down.
housewives are interested in knowing
how to substitute for it foods that
will supply equal nourishment.
Meat is not a necessity. though it has
many points in its f%avor-that is. it Is
palatable. capable of much variety in
cooking and is fairly easy of digestion.
with the exception of veal and pork.
Foods best adapted to take the place
Of meat are eggs. milk and cheese. and.
for those who are leading an active
life. pulse foods. such as peas. beans
and lentils. These heterogeneous vege-
tables have excellent meat value, but
are not easily digested In large guam
titles by those leading sedentary lives.
Remember that cheese is a highly
concentrated food, so should be mixed
with starchy foods. such as macarOni.
bread and rice. Nuts are highly nu-
tritious and capable Of being converted
into many attractive dishes. Pine ker.
nels. almonds. walnuts and hazelnuts
are good meat substitutes. while Bra
iii nuts and %cOcOanutS are OleaginOus.
Chestnuts alone contain any starch.
Too much meat is not healthy un-
less one is expanding a great deal Of
energy. Vegetables make a satisfac-
.ory and wholesome diet. especially
when they are supplemented by fruits.
With the exception Of beans. peas
and lcutilS. which contain a large
amount of proteids, vegetables are val
liable for their potash. and salts are
a valuable part of diet. They contain
%cellulose. which gives the needed bulk
to food. Winter vegetables should be
kept in Il dry place.

in the long ago. ''are such as have stud

whereby they have become famous.
and. seeing that they are not knighted

Foreston Correspondence: The
village councilmen are full of law
these days. They have had several
arrests made for non-payment of poll
tax. In most of the cases the man
could show receipt for tax paid else=
where, but it made no difference.
One case man was arrested without
having been notified to pay his tax.
The long and short of the matter is
the council is "pulling all ways for
Sunday" and cannot agree among
themselves. A great deal of the con-
tention come from wanting to oppose
the president in all matters regardless
of everything. Gentlemen, work for
the interests of the village, not for
your own individual interests. Be-
fore beginning suits would it not be
advisable to look up the law and see
if you are legally entitled to poll tax?

Again and again we have read of

But Princeton's pertinent question
has always been Has anyone here
in Princeton been cured?'' The
word of a stranger living a hundred

not have the same weight with us
as the word of oul own citizen,
whom we know and respect, and
whose evidence we can so easily
prove.
