With butter 40 cents pound, eggs
So cents dozen, potatoes SEA bus
hel. sugar cents pound, flour $40
barrel, beans 50 bushel, meat
prices higher than ever before, nearly
all other foods correspondingly high,
and no signs of lower prices, the
average housewife has hard time
keeping the grocery bill within the
limit allowed by the family income.
For the benefit of these worried wives
the government has set to work a
corps Of men who are experts in food
values They are issuing bulletins
telling how to get more out of foods
than cooks usually get, how to save
in the kitchen and what the food
values are of things we all eat There
is great public ignorance about this
question of food values. The average /
woman has some sort Of notion that
meat is more Strengthening" than
any other kind of food, that eggs are
almost if not quite, as good, and be-
yond that, she knows little that Is de-
finite. And yet she ought to be an
expert along this very line of food
values, for il is one of the most inn
portant things in life both from the
standpoints of economy and of health.
A woman knows linens and silks and
dress goods and the best brand of
shoes and hosiery. She has studied
those things out, and she will spend
a whole half day shopping around to
get the most linen in a tablecloth for !
the money, and yet, if you ask her
about the food values and the seal
cries" in the foods she is to set upon
that cloth, she will look at you in .
blank establishment. If you should 3
tell the average housewife that a
pound of soda crackers has nearly
twice as much food value as pound y
Of the best roast beef, she would thisk !
you were joking, but the government O
says it is true. !

A tramp knocked at farmers
door and called for something to eat.
"Are you a Christian" asked the
good-hearted man. 'Look at the holes
worn in the knees of my pants. What
do they prove?" The farmers wife
promptly brought out the food and
the tramp turned to 90. "Welll Welll"
asked the farmer. "What made those
holes in the back of your pants ?"
"Backsliding," replied the tramp as
he hurried on.

Waycross, Ga, April l4.-AttOrney
! for G.. Wash Lott, the aged slayer who
! is serving life sentence, are here to
present before Judge Summerall their
arguments for new trial Lott who is
nearly 20 years Of age, was recently
convicted of the murder OF his son,
| Warren Lott. The grounds for the ap-
peal are the scene made in court by
the slain mans widow when she fell
in Mysteries before the jury, the prose-
cution making an issue of the deferd-
ants character when, it is claimed,
this issue had not been introduced by
the defense, and the allegation that
one OF the jurors was not citizen OF
the county.
One CLEAN Of hope is left to the to-
tering man who sits in his gloomy
cell. That is, new trial. The case was
one Of the most pitiful in the annals OF
Georgia courts. Lott was found guilty
in February, and the jury recommend
cd mercy for him. He was saved from
hanging by the courts mercy, but must
serve the balance Of his natural life in
confinement unless his lawyers can Sc
cure another trial
