FOOD WORTH MUCH STUDY
No Other Problem Can More Worthily
Engage the Attention of the Moth
er on the Farm.

What could be a woman's problem
on the farm that was not a woman 8
eternal problem everywhere and any
where? Home economics or the Sc.
lection, use and preparation of food,
clothing, shelter and household man
agement, and how can this problem
or any other problem, for that matter,
be solved except through study or ed.
ucation? And yet so little has been
thought of the home problems that
more money is spent year by year for
teaching the men how to fatten a steer
or pig than to teach mother how to
care for her babe or feed her superior
animals-the men of the family, writes
NJ. f. Barrett of the Texas experiment
station. Visit any farm you please
and you will be shown the fine pigs
and calves, goats or sheep, but never
word of the baby or it's nursery.
I've even seen kindergartens for colts
to train them in their stunts, but
never a home garten for the children.
| believe you will all agree with me
that food is the first problem. To
load your table down with vege.
tables and meats is not treating your
child as your husband treats his pig
baby. He is carefully balancing the
rations for the pig for growth, and
that of the horse for energy, and that
of the cow for milk. Neither is he
working all day long on the three
meals a day for his animal family
Now here is where education comes in
again, to cut down the work of those
three meals in quantity and make il
count in quality, to take less time and
more thought. Try a fireless cooker
Get bulletin on balanced rations and
menus from the university. Then, in
the cool of the afternoon, prepare youI
vegetables and meats for next day; at
breakfast bring them to boil and put
in the hot rock and close up the din,
ner. This will save you from one to
two hours On dinner which can be
spent in further study on the subject
of food values.

GRAND JURY HAS
MANY EMPLOYEES OF
CITY BEFORE IT
FROM MAYOR TO DRIVERS OF
CARTS EMPLOYEES OF THE
CITY WERE sUBPoENAED TO
TESTIFY BEFORE JURY.

That the grand jury, empanelled
Monday by Judge Campbell, is inves-
tigating thoroughly the city of Pen
sacola and all transactions, is the
belief of those who saw the witnesses
appearing before the investigating
body yesterday. From mayor down
to cart drivers they appeared and the
day closed with some of the city en-
ployes still waiting about to be
called.
1t is not known what is transpiring
in the grand jury room or the char
acter Of evidence being brought out,
but it was stated yesterday that
dozens Of the men drawing pay from
the city had been called before the
jury.
Inasmuch as some city employees
were still about the court house yes
terday afternoon it is presumed that
the investigation has not been con-
cluded.

CORONER PROBES
DEATH OF NEGRO
LARGE NUMBER OF WITNESSES
EXAMINED BUT NOTHING
DEFINITE ESTABLISHED AS TO
CAUSE OF KILLING.

Fourteen witnesses were heard yes
terday afternoon by a coroner's jury
in Judge Will L. Johnson's Office, in
the inquiry into the death of the ne
gro Scott, who, missing since Saturday
night, was accounted for when his
lifeless body was found floating in
the bay.
Although the case went along
slowly and with an earnest endeavor
apparently on the part of the jury
to ascertain who was responsible for
the Negroes death, such was not es-
tablished definitely, and the case may
be taken up by the grand jury, with
a view of going further into the in
vestigation. 1t is understood the wit
nesses will be subpoenaed before that
body before adjournment of the pres
ent jury.
One witness yesterday, the wife of
the deceased negro, gave the name of
negro "who had it in for my hus-
band" as she expressed it, and this
name was carefully noted by the cor
oner. Just whether there was any
room for any suspicion against this
party was left with the jury at the
conclusion of the testimony.

otherwise, no positive evidence found
as to where leakage occurred; and,
therefore the vessel began to leak

the depth of three hundred feet was
reached, and at such a rate that the
weight of water coming in was great

furthermore:
''Slop tanks found corroded; sue

tory to the disaster"
The report continues:
''No evidence found that the F-4
had poor diving qualities prior to her
docking in February, 1915, when ex-
perimental propellers were fitted

therefore the experimental propellers
so substituted probably so affected

most effective procedure for sending
the boat to the surface was promptly
carried out, diving rudders were sci

the electric motors started to drive
