ONE FORM OF
FOOD FRAUD

One reason why cooked foods,
bought at lunch rooms and to take
home SO frequently taste badly, may
be found in the story of the cam
paign against decomposed eggs. The
business of selling fluid eggs, honestly
managed, utilizes much material 9TH
erwise wasted. But recent investiga-
tions by food experts show that many
producers are using quantities of de-
composed eggs.
People who have to eat much
away from home have theft .vicissi-
tudes. There is no line of trade hav-
ing SO many cheats as the food bust
ness A pie or cake may look most
attractively brown and crisp, as it
stands in, a window. But the tRetter
it looks, the f1atter it may taste. Often
there is a distinctly bad flavor, offer
thereafter. It is an oddly of hui
man nature that many people, once
they have paid their money. will eat
every crumb to avoid waste.
Boarding houses are additionally
the place where a great deal of poor
food is worked off. It is assumed
that working people come in hungry
However, the faults are perhaps due
more to difficulty in getting intelligent
kitchen service than to other causes.
= Many lunch rooms and restaurants
along the railroads or in city streets
work off poor material on the tran
silent trade that they never expect to
see again. A vast amount of uIlsani-
tary food is disposed of on the prin-
cip1e that what you don't know won't
hurt you. Skillfu1 seasoning covers
many culinary sins.
Wholesome food can still be had at
reasonable prices, if people will put
up with insipid flavor. Those who de-
4I7,oA
to make must pay for it. Fresh
eggs, rich milk and cream, well made
butter, and tender toothsome meat,
cost very high, and thoroughly good
cookery is not possible on any other
basis. t'Wea1 pie,'' as the immortal
Sam Weller observed, is a fine thing,
when you know the lady as made it. -
That principle applies in every kind
of food purchasing, and never more sc
than right now.

THE NATIONAL BANK BILL.
Calhoun Speaks in Favor of Bin,
February 2sth. 1916.


The House having resolved into a
committee of the whole, on the Dali 10
establish a National Bank, with a cap
atal of $S5, coo, Geo, which being read;
Mr.. Calhoun rose to explain his
views of a subject so interesting to
the Republic of the United States,
of which the following is an outline:
A National Bank, Mr.. Calhoun said,
paving specie itself would have g. ten
dency to make specie payments gen
eral, as we'll by its influence as by its
kxample It will be to the interest
OF the National Bank to produce this
state of things, because otherwise Its
Operations will be greatly circumscrib-
led, as 1t must pay out specie or Ma
EtionaH Bank Notes: for he presum-
ked one of the first rules of such a bank
would be to take the Notes of no bank
(which did not. pay gold or silver.
A National Bank of $4,000, 600,
with the aid of those banks which are
READY at once to pay specie would pro-
Iduce a powerful effect all over the
Union. Further, National Bank
would enable the Government to re-
sort to measures which would make it
Improbable to banks to continue the
violation of their contracts, and ad-
svantageous to return to the obserya-
l4ion of them.
The leading measure of this char
lacter would be to strip the banks re-
n arising from the business of the gov
Iernnaent. to prohibit the deposits with
them, and to refuse to- receive the
Notes in payment of the dues of the
lGovernrnent. Flow far such measures
would be eficacious in return of spe-
Ecie payments he was unable to say;
hut it was as far as he would be will
ling to go at the present session. If
they persisted in refusing to resume
payments in specie, Congress must re-
sort to measures OF deeper tone,
which they had in their power
The restoration of specie payments
Calhoun argued, would remove the
ernbarrassments on the industry of the
country. and the stains from the pub
s lie and private faith. It remained
4 to be seen whether this House, with
out whose aid it was vain to expect
success in this object, would have the
fortitude to apply the remedy.
The evil desired to remedy, Mr.. Cal
houns said, was a deep almost
S dncurable, because connected with
control The arrangement Of IA cir
culating medium, was a. joint thrown
out OF its socket; let it remain for
while in that state, and the sinews
will be SO knit, that it cannot be re-
pIaced-apply. the remedy soon, and it
is an easy operation, though painful.
The evil grows, whilst the resistance
ito it becomes weak; and unless check
ed at once, will become irreparable.
Mr.. Ward of Massachusetts,, ack-
now1edged the correctness of the rep
resentation of the existing evil, for
which he appeared to think the rem
edy was near at hand and more sim
pie in its application than the estab-
lfshment of a National Bank, viz. by
refusing to receive the notes of those
banks, which do not pay specie, in
dues to the Government. Congress

on themselves would be the blame
The House then adjourned until to-

She Spoiled Her Daughter in the

 Somewhere in the suburbs of New York live a man and wife. happily married. with one child. The husband has a job that brings a fairly good income and the wife keeps the house and takes care of the baby. Both are we'll bred He was a southern gen. tleman: she is the daughter of we'll to-do parents, went to boarding school, is handsome and accomplished She learned everything a girl should know bu. the one essential thing, how to make a home. Her mother had her maid. The daughters clothes were all ways ready and her mending done. Her youthful years were spent In having a good time and learning the art of be- ing lady.
 She married. Now she must run home. She doesn't know how. Her husband gives her $125 month for to cook and can't afford a cook, they must take their dinners out. Therefore MT. Husband comes home, takes care of the baby while Mrs. Wife rushes half mile to boarding house, eats her dinner in a hurry and rushes back; then he hurries half a mile to the boarding house and gets his fag-end dinner Her generous allowance Is gone when the month is up and it has bought no satisfaction. They have no "homey" meals together; they blame the baby-the ought to blame her mother.
 Had his wife been brought up to be a woman instead of just lady, she would take that $50 they spent every month for boarding house dinners and get two meals day for two that would

She doesn't want to be merely lady, she would rather be woman now: it's too late-shes spoiled.
 But it's not altogether her fault. She wasn't trained right. She is a parlor ornament. She can't plan. She can't save. She can just be sweet; but sweet ness never runs a home.
