FEEDING THE FAMILY.

The ordinary human heart swells with gratitude
toward that n Y. health board for its exact nforma
ZION as TO how TO feed family Of grown-ups and
three children $3.50 week. The boards menu
contains pretty much everything family would like
with change OF diet from day day. meal to meal
that makes the ordinary boarding house menu look
like last years doughnut chained to a trolley pole
However. before put family on the experiment
would respectfully for very little additional

pound Of butter in only seven days? Isn't
the allowance Of 40 the fund for meal
too liberal? Fourteen pounds of meal per week would
be hllng tbs true, but think of the monotony of it,
Two quarts of milk daily seven cents will do for
family of five and may be obtainable in New York
but large part Of American urban humanity can't get
good milk for less than eight or ten cents Finally
the board omts very important In the cost OF
feeding family of fve-the cooking. We are loath
70 believe that any health board recommends the eat
ing OF dried beans. meal pruncs potatoes in
the raw. Three OF the most reasonable children a
fellow could have would kick this sure
as you cook just so surely you've pay fuel
However. this health boards information like most
other wisdom put out the subject Of how to live
cheaply, is based careful laboratory tests The
laboratory tests make fine showing. for those who
don't have to feed family five $3.50 per week
The only laboratory worth much is the laboratory OF

waste the family that is fed SIS per week OF

IMMUNITY FROM CONSUMPTION

According TO the public health service the best way
to escape tuberculosis is be born Italian or a
Hebrew In wide Investigation it has found that
almost without exception. cities with a higher per-
centage Of Irish Scandinavian and German stock and
those in which the Negro population is relatively large
have correspondingly high mortality while these
where the Jewish and Italian element proportonately
great have low tuberculosis death rate."
The same contrast is found within the Of
most any city whose population includes these racial
groups.
Just why there should this difference in suscept-
biity TO this disease is still mystery Some medical
authorities however have that the difference
not in the racial is to be found in the man
ner OF living particularly in the diet They call special
attention TO the of article garlic by the Italians
and Jews. Although there is no specific cure" for
tuberculosis recognized by the medical profession many
physicians are convinced that garlic is more effective
than any other known medicine food in combating
the growth of tubercular germs the human system
Can it be that the Italians and Jews owe their relative
immunity to simple thing as this?

more than a six per return thus relieving the
government from any actual expenditure. The bill, it
is said has already resulted in the tentative organza

turns indicate that the increase in
corporation taxes amounted to $12,
100000 and that of individual in

These tremendous increases in
taxable incomes, reflected in the
increased income taxes, are attribut-
able directly TO the great business
and industrial expansion which took
place in the country's past year Of
prosperity. OF course a very credit
able portion of the increases is at

LIVING ON A PITTANCE.

wheeling, w. Va, Register.)
Not long ago a prominent society
woman announced that she had
demonstrated the possibility of a
working girl living or 80 cents a
day. More recently a New York
millionaire asserted in an argument
against a minimum wage law that a
man can live comfortably on $500
q week. He did it as an experiment,
he said. and he saw no reason why
others could not do it as a regular
practice. Neither Of these investi-
gators tried to live on a pittance for
longer period than a week, how
ever, and both accomplished only
what any strong and well-fed per-
son could do as an experiment or on
a wager and that thousands of per-
sons have done at one time or an
other out Of sheer necessity.
But to use the fact that a man
can live on a certain amount per
week as an argument for limiting
HIM to that amount is a very diff
ferent matter. There are grinding
employers, happily Fewer nowadays
than formerly who base their pay
upon what they can get labor for,
rather than upon what il is worth.

Recently Governor Ferguson held a
conference with General Carranza of
Mexico at Laredo at the suggestion of
the Mexican leader. The border situa-
ton was the subject Of discussion. and
it is said that an agreement satisfac-
tory to both was the result.
Governor Ferguson is considerable OF
a character in his way. He had never
held public office when he stumped the
state last year. but he had no trouble
in beating his Democratic rival at the
primaries.
The Texas chief executive is a native
of the Lone Star State and is fifty-six
years old. He was born on a farm, but
at the age of sixteen went to Califor.
mia, where he hunted for gold. Later
he worked in Il wire factory in San
Francisco, wandering thence to tho
forests of Oregon to become Il lumber
jack. In 1892 he returned to his native
state and for Il time laborcd as Il bridge
builder. All this time. however, he
was adding to his store of education.
He studied law and was admitted to
the bar, but eventually entered the
banking business, i'll which he has been
very successful.
Governor Ferguson aside from being
a banker is largely engaged in farming.
