WANT IMMEDIATE ACTION ON BILLS
 FOR EDUCATION
Would Have Compulsoy Ed ucation and Appoint Com mission On Illiteracy.
 Want Local Taxation

Montgomery. February 7.-(Special.) An effort will be made in the house tomorrow to have that body reconsider the motion to postpone until next July several of the educational measures. The bills on which immediate action will be asked are those providing for local taxation, compulsory education and the appointment of an illiteracy commission The latter measure, prob ably, is the only one which the house will consent to consider.
 This bill provides for the appoint ment by the governor of an illiteracy commission to be composed of five members, who will serve without com pensation. All expenses and remuner- ations of the commission will be sup piled by outside sources.
 Would Teach Adults
 The principal object of this commits sion seeks the removal of adult illit- eracy The duties prescribed for the members of the commission are that they shall visit communities in the state and use their efforts in the ed- ucation and training of the heads of families to the end that a deeper in- terest may be created in the educa tiona1 development of their children.
 The educational department is par ticularly anxious that this bill should pass at the present session of the leg islature because of the fact that plans have already been made for the 1n- auguration of a campaign in April looking to the removal of adult fllt- eracy in the state. The department in launching this campaign will have the assistance of Mrs. Stewart of Ken lucky, who has had a conspicuous part in removing adult illiteracy in certain rural counties of that state.
 Mrs. Stewart has agreed to come to Alabama in April to assist Super intendent F'eagin and the illitcracy commission in beginning the new movement, hence the department is de- sirous that this bill should pass be- forc adjournment And indications are that the measure will receive imme- diate and favorable action. It is also probable that the house will be asked to reconsider the motion to postpone the local taxation and compulsory ed- ucation measures, but there is little chance according to the expressed sentiments of certain members, that this effort will succeed.
 As is well known the principal ed ucationa1 measures which precipitated the fight in the house on Friday was the bill providing for the appointment by the governor of a state board of ed ucation, to be composed of five mem- bers. Further provisions was made in this bill for the election by the sew eral counties of boards of education, with the power to select the county superintendent.

Nuts as a niet


 Being somewhat inclined to be what you call 'nutarian,' venture to add to the opinion of a scientific writer pub lished by you the views of another emi l nent authority upon dietetics, dealing with the same subject-nuts as diet in the home: Nuts may be readily used as staple articles of diet, as an ingredient In salads, and sn soups. as a stuffing for poultry, in the making of desserts, and in many other ways. Wild turkey stuffed with pecan nuts is dish popu : lar with old Virginia cooks, just as stuffed goose with chestnuts is prized in Germany. Salted nuts and nuts crys- tallized in sugar are common accom- paniments of other foods. In general. nuts rich in protein and fat should be used in combination with carbohydrate foods, as bread, fruit, green vegetables, etc, while such nuts as the chestnut, {, which do not contain much protein or fat, are so rich in carbohydrates they may be properly combined with meats milk, and cream, eggs, and other food containing protein and fat
