HOW TO LIVE ON

Gan Be Done With Careful
Management, Says AL C.P.
MUST STUDY FOOD MARKET

Housewives Should Keep In Touch
With Prices and Market Conditions In
Order to Provide Adequately and
With Plenty of Variety at This Price.
No Radical Departures From. List.
The announcement of the New York
Association For Improving the COndi-
ton of the Poor that because OF the
rising food prices 1t has increased its
allowance for food for the families I'm
for the husband, with lesser proper
tons for the mother am children, has
resulted In many inquiries as to how a
family can contend with the present
prices even on the new "a cent basis.
Stll further interest in the subject has
developed from the experiment Of Chi
cago's "diet squad" with a 40 cents a
day dietary. In answer to these ques-
tions one of the associations dietitians
said:
"To keep within the "a cent limit the
housewife must buy most carefully and
take advantage of every opportunity to
buy cheaply, and the tenement house
wives opportunities to buy cheaply are
greater by far than those of the dwell
ers In apartments and private resi-
dences.
Must Manage Carefully.
mo housewife need expect to keep
her family well fed on the "a cent
basis except by very careful manage
ment and by following closely dietary
based on careful study of food values
and market prices. She must maintain
a reasonable balance between the va
rious items on her list. The list has
plenty of variety, and good house
keeper can serve an entirely attractive,
varied and healthful fare from it. but
there must be no radical departures
from 1t, or the "a cent basis will not be
maintained very long"
The allowance for family consist
ing of father, mother, boy Of ten and
boy or girl of eight would be 98.6 cents
per day. the A. l. C. z. dietitlans say.
No family, whatever its personnel. can
hope to have well balanced, adequate
diet on less than $21.66 month, they
argue, because the buying for less than
three persons cannot he done as eco
nomlcally per person as when the fami-
ly is larger

DAYTON LANDS THE
CONVENTION OF 1917
Rudisill Delivers Splendid
Address On Good Roads
Situation


-egates closed their convention work
at noon Friday, after the largest and
one ofthe most strenuous sessions in
the history of the state organization.
The delegates are tired but satisfied
with what they have accomplished,
as it was predicted in the beginning
they would have to extend the time
allotted for the convention in view
of the immense amount of work that
had to be attended to.
The rapidity with which the bust
ness was transacted was due to the
rapid-fire methods of the officers in
charge and the unity of the delegates
in their cooperative action with the
chair. While in matters in which
there was a contest the opposing
parties worked like beavers for theil
point, but with the kindliest feeling.
hence there was nothing in the con-
vention that resembled a ruction, and
the defeated side of the question con
tested congratulated the victor on his
success, and for that reason on the
whole everything passed off lovely.
Especial compliment was paid the
Licking county grange as a whole, for
the mastery and courteous and eff
fective work done in caring for the
visitors from afar, and a vote o.
thanks was rendered Licking county
with the added statement that the
convention of 1916 will be one lone
to be remembered with much pleas.

woman or child who was not delight

The county grange has to thank,
and SO have the visitors, the chamber
of commerce in it's entirety for the
splendid and unhesitating hospitabla
care-taking of the visitors to the city,
dered the chamber for its efficiency
and painstaking.
During Thursday afternoon, ]. w.
Rudisill of the good roads commits
sion delivered an address to the as.
semblage on the matter of good roads
and the many advantages derived
instances in which the community
had been many-fold benefited by the
building of good roads which permit
ted the farmer to get to town with his
products, and for the city folks to
get to the farms, and in this way a
hearty cooperation sprang UP be
that was highly beneficial to both
parties. He complimented Licking
county for it's step forward in the
matter of building good roads, but he
injected the statement in his speech
that 1.-The good work had practically
just begun, and urged further efforts
along that line, until every inch oi
roadway within the county limits be
paved or macadamized, or asphalted
or anything else just so it was made
a good road, and concluded by saying
theNTesult in Licking county would bt
just as it has in other counties and
in this county between points thai
are good roaded."
Dayton was selected as the place o.
holding the 1917 meeting.

MUST QUIT EATING
CROP BEFORE MADE
South Must Stop Time-Honored Sys-
tenn OF Economic Suicide,
Says n. G. Hastings

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special. 1.-THE peo-
pie Of the south must quit eating their
cotton or other so-called cash crop
before it is made if they ever expect
to accumulate wealth and have the
comforts and luXuries of life due
them," says H. G. Hastings, agricul-
tural vice president Of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, and fore
most authority on farm conditions In
the southeast.
THE south must stop forever its
time-honored system of economic sut-
cide," says Mr.. Hastings. Advance
steps were made last year towarC =
condition of farm independence in ne
Cotton Belt. They were forced ste ),
it is true, but they marked an advance
just the same, and more bread and
meat, more grain, forage and other
food and feed stuffs were made in
1915 than ever before, with the result
there are tens Of thousands OF farm
ers better off than in past years,
despite short crops and business Ce-
preston.
with higher cotton prices, it IS
going to be a great temptation 20
drop back into the old habit Of PUG
ting cotton, or whatever other cash
crop one may be. growing, in pawn
for bread and meat. We are suffer
ing today from the old system fore
ed on us by conditions following the
Civil war, necessary then, but unnec-
essary now.
"Year after year we have stayed in
the same old rut as a matter of habit,
eating our crops, so to speak, before
they were made, a financially suicidal
policy for the farmer, each year put
ting his nose a little closer to the
credit grindstone.
"If the south had not been so rich
in natural resources, this system
would have bankrupted US long ago.
What's the answer? 1t is home pro-
duction by each farmer of every dol
lars worth of food and grain supplies
needed on his farm that it is possi-
BILE to grow on his own acres. This
means good big home gardens; hogs,
chickens, cows and something to feed
them on through the year."
