Each meal does not necessarily have
TO have each OF these principles, but
the solid foods saten during the day
should compare with these divisions.
Women Should Know.
II would be impossible for anyone
other than special dietitian to give the
exact amounts OF each food principle
buy. every woman who has to serve
meafs-should be informed sufficiently
on the subject so she will not serve
rice, potatoes, corn, white bread and tea
for luncheon or roast beef baked
beans, cheese and sweet potatoes for
dinner
While all of these food principles
and their functions are undergoing dis
coverics enough has been ascertaincd
to allow us the following directions
for their use and source:
Carbohydrates. the starches and SUI
gars. These foods have for their spe
cial duty in the body the building OF
fatty tissue. They also produce hca,
but cannot be depended upon to build
muscle, In general they require pro-
longcd heat at high temperature when
being cooked
Fats Produce Heat.
The fat obtained iron butter, oil
nuts, fat meat cheese, whole milk and
cream, ar the heat produccrs and do
not to any degree produce fatty tissue
The fact that many people gain flesh
after having taken olive oil is due ia
tn fact that the o'l has regulated the
digestive organs so that the other foods
may perform their functions. Fats are
more heal,hiu II used uncooked Bu,
il they are cooked il must be at low
temperature, so that fatty acids will moi
develop.
Proteins. the muscle forming foods
are found to predominate in lean mea,
eggs milk peas, beans, hard wheat and
in small amounts ext 10 the skins o
fruits and vegetables Their food valu,
may be totally destroyed by strong, higl
heat, which causes them TO harden ant
contract, while under prolonged low hca

Minerals Necessary.
Minerals are obtained in n small de
gree from practically all foods, bu
especially from fruits. green vegetable
and milk. Their introduction in tn
body is very necessary for good bloc,
and the upkeep of the solids,

MISS LENO OSBORNE.

Stories OF the idle rich" where
hours and hours of the day and night
are spent banquetlng, impress upon
us that there are people who "live to
eat" II is Just way Of spending time
helping the days TO drag along,
The people OF our kind, those who
must work to make living "eat to
live" While il is a pleasure to graft
ty the appetite 1t is also necessity.
We must keep going; keep up our
strength and our intellect.
Pulling Question.
Just why the CaretakerS OF children
are so far behind the caretakcrs Of ami
mails is a pulling question.
Scientific stock feeding has developed
into one of the foundation sciences, and
one in which all intelligent men who
own stock inform themselves. 1t is a
very ignorant farmer who does not
know what kind of feed and how much
to allow his horses when the heavy
spring work begins, or the grains and
meals to give the cattle that are being
fattened for the market. Yet this same
man will brag that his children "eat
what's set before them" Such meals
are often prepared without a though,
as to the effect it will have upon them
Our bodies are the most complicated
pieces OF machinery ever put into mo-
ton. Special parts require special re
pair materials to keep them mcnded and
in order Those special materials OF
food principles, which we need every
day, and the approximate relative pro
portionng are shown in the accompany

blouse. now mannlsh, now coQuettIsh,
according to the wheel Of fashion and
the demand for needlework.
Recently. women have delvcd back
further into the history of mannlsh
costumery, and feeling restless under
the long reign OF the straight, demure
coat and skirt which depended upon
perfect cut and Constant pressing Tor
its elegance, have turned toward the
costumcry that was worn by men a
century ago.
1t was the first evidence shown by
the men themselves that broCades,
laces, silver and gold and iripperlcs
were not the things in which to meet
the common activities of outdoor lite
II any man today wore in public the
costume OF century ago, he would
have to be guarded by the police or
ordered off the streets, but in the be
ginning OF the nineteenth century,
these costumes were considered SO
sober that the aristocrats felt that they
would not be distinguished frmn the
commoncrs.
Today, women find them a ipc-
turesque change from the severity
which has been ordained for them, and
as the fashion has grown in strength,
there are smart individuals who are
taking up the trifles that distinguished
the fops of that epoch.
Looking to the Theater.
In America, as in Paris and London,
We begia 70 look behind the ioo,lights
for inspiration in fashion; and the
coat suits worn by the men in Pen
dennis, as acted by John Drew, have
been taken as examples OF the most
| brilliant street suits that women can
wear.
The sketch shows an exact costume
as worn by young PtndenniS, with the
substitution OF a narrow skirt for his
trousers which were fastened under
his shoes by straps. The woman, you
see wear spats fastened under their
shoes, to carry out the picture.
The costume is OF colonial blue cloth
The skirt is plain and moderately mar
row and short. The slim body part OF
the coat is fastened, doubls breasted al
the waist with dull gilt buttons. The
tight sleeves are put into small arm,
holes and the wide, rolling collar and
reycrs are OF the material, The white
shirt has a full ruiile in front. The
cambric collar is cut to stand beyond
the ears without boning, and the polka
dotted neck,ie is wrapped twice around
the neck and tied IN careless bow
in front.
The audience is always delighted
that the valet dresses Mr. Drew before
its eyes, ior it is especially anxious Il
see exactly how this cravat is managed
Don't fail TO notice the black ebon,
cane with its black silk cord and tas
sells 1t was the smartest kind of thins
that the man Of the nineteenth cen
tury carried, and the women OF todal
have adopted it from pendcnnis.

ASQUITH

The threatened dissolution of the
British cabinet on account of the
Irish question has again brought into
the limelight the Right Honorable
Herbert Henry Asquith. Prime Minis
ter of England and, since 1914, the
secretary of state for war
David Lloyd-George is quoted as
having offered TO resign in view of
the failure of the cabinet to ac-
qiuesce to the proposals of the Irish
Nationalists. Premier Asquith. it is
understood, is ready to step down in
case of the retirement of Lloyd
George
Mr.. Asquith was born at Morley,
Yorkshire, in 1852. He was educated
in the City of London School and at
Balliol College Oxford. He served

same time he was ecclesiastical COM
missioner. From 1905 to 1908 he was
chancellor of the exchequer. when he
was made prime minister and first
lord of the treasurury.
Premier Asquith has had the homo
rary degree of ID. c. L. doctor of

THE SiLLIE FLOOD SCHOOL

A strong connecting link between
the old and young is the memory of
childhood. One tie that binds former
Columbians to their old home town is
the vision of childhood days spent
here. No part of a mans life is longer
remembered than the days when he
leaped from babyhood to the ranks
of the grown-ups and pattered off
for his first days of school.
In Columbia many children, moth
ers. fathers and in some cases grand
mothers and grandfathers are all
equal in age when they talk of school
DAYS for Miss Sallie Flood met them
all on their first frightfully gladstone
schoolday.
Teachers, bankers, grocers and their
drivers were on a level when they
trOtted IN Dare1OOteu 10 SNOW MisS
Sallie the big toad they had caught
or give her the reddest apple they
could swipe And to all, be it toad or
apple they brought, her gentle old
fashioned thanks was the same.
Her life was home life in the first
year of the grammar grades. Few who
ever learned their three RS" in Co.
lumbia public schools do not have
some endearing memory of Miss Sal,
lie.
Our senators, governors and presi-
dents are excellent historic subjects
but when naming the school that
molds our childhood fancies into
realities of numbers and letters and
pictures, more fitting is the name of
one who with love and patience
taught in this same town our mothers |
and fathers and their childhood play |

The New Books
NeedlewOrk.

A modern book on school needle
work by Ellen p. and C. A. Clayton
is 'NeedlewOrk Without Specimens. -
1t will be found of special helpful
ness to teachers and students of
school needlewOrk. In the scheme of
instruction an attempt has been made
to arrange for the teaching of all va
rieties of stitches by embodying them
from the beginning in actual useful
articles and garments cut out by the
children themselves Such a plan
satisfies the girls instinct to do and
construct instead of thwarting it. AS
result she must think out how she
can overcome obstacles and difficult
ties.
