SUITABLE FOR HUMAN FOOD
Neurishing Plants and Even Insects
Capable of Sustaining Life, at
Pinch.

According 20 some reports great in
genuity in the use of scientific knowl-
edge in extracting food values from
unusual sources is being employed,
the Baltimore Star states. There are
many articles good for human food
and wholesome food at that, which UNI
der ordinary conditions are not drawn
upon at all. There are the angle worm,
the grasshopper and fully score of
plants not ordinarily used as food
which. properly prepared, constitute
nourishing foods. 1t is perhaps only
the most desperate and resolute sort
of appetite that would stand for the
earth worm. but they have been eaten
even by highly civilized people and
when properly prepared are said to be
not SO bad. Why should we be squeam-
ish about the angle worm when we
eat the oyster. stomach, lungs and ev-
erything but the shell?
AS to grasshCppers they were an an
cient delicacy md are yet so regarded
by many races who know what's what
in the way of good things to eat All
the grasses that are eaten by animals
have nourishing juices. Glover and
green timothy possess a higher food
quality than cabbage or potatoes.
Boiled to tenderness they would pre-
vent starvation. There have been
famine periods when human beings
have been obliged to eat field grasses
and wild plant roots.

CHAPTER KIN.

Tamarack Spicer sat on the top of
box car, swinging his legs over the
side. He was clad in overalls, and in
the pockets of his breeches reposed
a bullying flask of red liquor, and an
uEbulging pay envelope. Tamarack
had been "railroading" for several
months this time. He had made a
new record for sustained effort and
industry, but now June was beckon-
ing him to the mountains with vaga-
bond yearnings for freedom and lei
sure. Many things had invited his soul.
Almost four years had passed since
Samson had left the mountains. and
In four years woman can change her
mind. Sally might, when they met on
the road. greet him once more as kins-
man and agree to forget his faulty
method of courtship. This time he
would be more diplomatic. Yesterday
he had gone to the boss and called
for his time" Today he was paid off,
and free lance.
AS he reflected on these matters a
feilow-trainman came along the top
of the car and sat down at Tamarack's
side. This brakeman had also been
recruited from the mountains, though
from another section-over toward the
Virginia line

first EnoIIsh Newspaper

The first newspaper printed IN the
English language, with its old English
type and its quaint account of events
in foreign countries, was a pamphlet
issued in 1921. It's title, "Corrant or
Nevves from Italie, Germanie. France.
and other places" is rs curious as its
contents. For many years it had been
supposed that no copy Of the Corrant
was in existence, bat recently a copy
of this interesting document vss dis

mendations which will be put In form
of resolutions and given to that COM
mittee:
THAT the New Jersey State Fedora
tion undertake a vigorous aggressive
campaign from today until May 20,
1915, to complete the $4,000 fund in
order to open the college for women
in September, 1915. This date is set
as the day on which the option on a
twenty-flve-room house for tempor-
ary quarters expires.
Because we must have at least one
month before the high schools ses-
sions end to advertise the opening of
the college to obtain our students.
Because the authorities of Rutgers
must have opportunity to prepare for
the opening, selecting faculty, etc.
THAT the committee be authorized
by this convention to confer with the
trustees of Rutgers to see IL an ar
rangement can be made to open the
college in September, 1915, provided
satisfactory guarantee that the resi-
due of the $4,000 still remaining to be
raised after this campaign shall be
raised by January l, 1916"
Mrs. Gedney, State regent, D. A. R.,
one of the guests, declared that pride
in revolutionary ancestors is becom-
ing secondary to responsibility laid
upon the members by lineage. I'VE
deem patriotic education necessary
for the preservation of our nation as
disloyalty is so often due to ignor-
ance," she said.

delphia women in taking over by

city planning, marriage. divorce, to
the right time to catch trout, and ask
them to enact accurate, well-draWn
laws, you're asking an impossibility.
In the short time allowed for this ad-
dress there is no room for definite
suggestions as regards this matter,
put when you know you are asking an
lmpossfbility you know there Is some
thing wrong with your system"
Industrial and Social Conditions.
Mrs. Webb, as mentioned hereto
fore. spoke on industrial and social
conditions. She said in part
The individual clubs, in a leafiet
sent out by the chairman, had been
asked TO discuss the problem of the
chlld laborer, and the laws regulat-
ing his or her employment, and also
the most complex question of what to
do with the child rightfully excluded
from industry. Fully half the fed
Grated clubs gave some place on their
programs to these topics.
Nearly all the federated clubs did
valiant service for the Palmer Owen
Dill ian act to prohibit interstate
commerce in the products of child
labor) both by writing to their Con-
gressmen and by bringing the subject
before the voters of the community.
Through 1915-1916 this department
purposes to work for two bills (and in
this 1t co-operates with the legislative
Department. to undo old wrongs, and
the ith-Hughes bill, which makes
for new rights, the help the child to
help itself 1t Is the bill for Federal
aid drawn up by the National Com
mittee on Federal Aid for Vocational
Education.
I'VE hope that the injunction and
abatement bill will be again presented
and that we may work for its pass
age.
"The enforcement of Section 1s of
the Compulsory School Attendance
Act, which deals with minors In street
trades. Each club Is urged to take
this up in its own city or town or
village. and to keep before a public
too often either careless or senti-
mental, the need of protecting the
children by the rigid enforcement of
this law"
Mrs. John V. Cowling, of Millville,
chairman of the education commit
tee, emphasized need of student gov
ernment in public schools, saying that
| there is a great economic gain in
training pupils to Z discipline them
selves in the saving of the teachers
time and is a good training for gov
ernment in later life.

hasn't reached the $4,000 goal, and
she added, that it would. keep OF
