BETTER A HEALTHY "BONEHEAD"
THAN A SICKLY MARVEL
By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D.

ALTHOUGH "overwork'' and Excessive
n study are seized upon as convenient
explanations for a lot OF dismal failures,
which are in reality due to other and
less admirable causes, It is impossible to
escape the fact that a great many young
people in high schools and colleges lay
the foundation for lifetime of I'll health
In stoo much study. Competent peda-
gogues recognize this fact when they list
among the essential requirements for pro-
motion or graduation such athletic ac-
eomplishments as swimming or fencing.
It is a sad and rather frightful thing to
see young high-school girls dragging home
night after night great armful OF books
to pore over, instead of devoting the eve
nings to music. dancing, visiting or some
healthful recreation. Rather an ordinary,
but well-balanced young woman than
prodigy OF learning with a poorly-deVel-
oped body and nerves" or delicate health.
At the risk of bringing down upon us
the ire of schoolmasters. we say that a
normal boy or girl should be able to get
along satisfactorily in high school without
night worlz-that II the five hours spent
~ school each day will not suffice for all
necessary study, something is wrong with
the system OF instruction.
Five hours per day Is ample for actual
brain work. al least for young people. II

FOOD VALUES
Bake Your Own Beans; Cook Your Own Fruits
By VIRGINIA E. KIFT

TT YOU bake your own baked beans
i you can save 10 cents on every can.
A 10-cent can of baked beans contains
enough to serve four people. If you buy
dry beans, soak them, bake them your
self-you get one pound for ten cents,
enough to serve eight people. With the
10 cents you save you can buy salt pork
or bacon. add more molasses and have
dish suitable in food value to the
usual meat course served at dinner.
From two tablespoonfuls of dried
beans your body receives as much heat
and energy as II would from slice of
roast beef A-lnch thick, five inches long
by three inches across.
Two tablespoonfuls of dried beans con-
tain as much flood value as two-thirds
of a glass of milk.
generous slice of bread will not glvo
you any more food Salue' than two
tablespoonfuls of dried beams
However, it is not we'll to eat only
the foods which supply heat and energy
some fresh fruit should be eaten at
every meal to add variety and give the
body the inorganic salts needed to keep
the blood clean.

Ruffs Are Chic

The new ruffs show more variety than
they have for many moons. Here are a
few novelties picked out in shop the
other day:
Ostrich ruffs. quite long and light at
the ends. shade from mauve to purple,
white to black, gray to dark taupe and
rose to cerise,
lavender tule run has centre piece
of the same colored ostrich.
A white tulle ruff has centre of coral
ribbon. from which loops of the same
hang down.
An upper ruffie of white tulle and a
lower one of black horm another very
smart neckpiece. Daisies finish Off the
front and tie with long ends of black
satin ribbon.
Another two-toned ruff has an upper
of pale green net and lower of mauve
maline. Poppies and mauve streamers
form the trimming.
Tiny looped ruffs of satin ribbon are
made to wear at the back of the neck
They come in all shades.
The smartest neclpiece of them all was
made of old blue moire ribbon edged
with dull silver. This forms both frills
and the band around the centre of the
neck second frill of very fine soft
tulle softens the lines of the blue.

Bridge number 45 in Cedar township
was rebuilt, in section 2Sl last week.
The 16 foot wooden spann in White
Oak township, just east of, the White
Oak church was torn down and feplac-
ed with large shell or culvert pipe.
A short while ago Mr.. Reynolds and
his men refloored the .BelIefountair
bridge across Des Moines river, using
gum lumber for the work The FIRST
number of this kind which was ever
used in the county was seven years ago
on the river bridge just north of the
city. The board of supervisors con-
sidered the wearing qualities of the
lumber so great that they purchased
the same kind for the new floor on
the Bellefountain bridge. Including the
labor and the material the new floor
cost Mahaska county only $500.
The new floor required some $4,000
feet of lumber and considering the
lasting qualities of the material, the
floor vas comparatively inexpensive.
Mr.. Reynolds is working now on
bridge number A in Pleasant Grove
township, section 10. A part of his
gang OF men are in New Sharon I'M
loading a car of lumber at that place.
One team and man is working in sec
ton of Jefferson township on bridge
number 7.
One week ago Friday, or July 2Sth,
James Taylor went over a bridge in
Spring Creek township with its trsc-
tor engine and badly damaged the
floor of the structure. Mr.. Reynolds
and his men worked all the next day
repairing the floor, and by evening the
whole floor was in place and being
used. The accident occurred late on
Friday evening, traffic was never stop
ped, and the new floor was in place by
Saturday evening, the Following day.
