Advocate More Corn Bread.

Col. J. H. McConlogue. member of

to the superintendent greater use
of corn at the institutions. He favors
corn bread as a substitute for wheat

other ways Of preparing foods with
corn products.

TO POPuLAR|zE
OUR CORN BREAD
And Incidentally to Eoonomlze, State
Board Of Control Devlses New
Plans to Cut High Llv-
ing Cost.
BEANS ARE TOO STEEP
Cost Of These Has SCARED 90 That
Purchasing Agent 10 Waiting
For New Crop Before
Buying.

As Iowa is a great corn state, the
state board OF control intends to
make an attempt to populariZe the
use of corn bread and other corn
products in TIE state institutions.
The move is principally for economy.
as -four has advanced 81 barrel over
the price at which the state bought
its annual supply year ago.
At the business meeting Of the
superintendents of the various state
institutions, with the board of con-
troll. the members Of the board dis
cussed various ways to reduce the
cost of living at the institutions.
Some of the superintendent sug-
gested that more vegetables should
be substituted for meat, but this
proposition was met with statements
that practically all vegetables have
advanced in price.
Beans are Too High.
The greater use of beans was sug-
gested. But on consulting the bids
on navy beans which were submitted
to the board, it was discovered that
the price now is So bushel. an ad
vance Of 81 q bushel over the price
a year ago. Henry Shropshire, pur-
chasing agent for the board, de-
clined to MAKE a contract at the IS
rate. He says he will wait until
the new crop is in, when he expects
the price to fall.
The board Of control tried to in
crease the use of rice at the insti-
buttons, as rice is practically the
only food products on which the
price has not greatly advanced since
the war opened. However, the instf-
buttons have not been using any
greatly increased quantities Of rice.
Whether the cooks do not prepare it
for the state wards, or whether the
wards do not like rice, has not been
explained to the purchasing agent.

WIDE VARIETY IN VEILINGS
Hard to Say That Any One Style Is
Distinctly in FaVor-Features of
the New Models.

1t would seem that every veil is
branded, and the consequence is that
the wearer of the veil is branded also.
One veil of fine hexagOnal mesh has
vine trailing through its meshes, and
directly over the cheek is cluster of
leaves in a circle forming a medallion.
The effect was most unusual.
Wool embroidery, which is such
popular trimming this season, has in
vaded the yelling field. The wool is
used to harmonic and to contrast
with the veil On which it appears.

Exercise for Beauty.

The woman who does her own
hOusewOrk is usually worn out at the
end of the day. She is apt to con-
clude, therefore, that exercise is not a
word intended for her She could
hardly make a greater mistake, how
ever. A woman needs a half hours
rest near the middle of the day, it Is
true, but she needs also systematic
and stimulating exercise.
One reason why women are so fa-
tigued at the end of the day is that
they lack muscle tone. Half an hour
of brisk exercise suited to the particu-
lar needs of each individual, and TAX
en- regularly, followed by Il cold dash
of water, will serve to keep the whole
muscular and nervous system in tone.
1t also works wonders in keeping eyes
bright and color good, something that
all women desire.

America that day, or there does not
happen to be a presidential election
on, she may even win that coveted dis
tinctiOn Of breaking into the news of
the day, which it is the dream of ev-
cry press agent to achieve at least
once in his career for a favored client.
A determined effort was made few
seasons ago, in the form of the "Jupe
culotte," or trOuser skirt, which made
brave struggle for existence against
desperate odds. Again the thing was
tried in the form of straight satin
trousers under a walking skirt to take
the place of a petticOat. This had
brief vogue, after having been heav-
lily exploited by some of the leading
shops Of wOman's apparel, but 1t soon
died the death of the unpopular; and
then trousers retired to the seclusiOn
of the bOudOir in the form of negli-
gees or pajamas. But that they were
only checked and not defeated is
proved by their tentative recru-
descence this year.
An effort "alOng another 'front.'" to
use the military language that is such
temptation, is being made to intro
duce the persistent garments as part
of little girls walking dresses. The
sketch shows how this is done. The
frock is q cOatlike affair of blue vel
vet-almost everything is velvet just
nOw-which is stitched in the new
fashion with canary-cOlored silk to
form the decoration. At the sides
there are brass buckles, which seem
to be placed there to go with the high
leather leggings, buttOned away above
the knees. 1t would almost take
special nursemah to attend to the
fastening Of so many buttOnsi The
frOck part is so short that it shows
the tight little pair of blue velvet
trousers, just like a boys, which are
worn with the smart little suit. Amer
;can mothers would be apt to ask for
long sleeves in a frOck which was de-
signed for outdoor wear as this one
Is, but there is no reason why coat
should not be worn over it, after all.
The headgear is tam of the velvet.

are worn flowing.
A feature of many snug-fitting wells
is the combination of fancy borders
with dots or other small, scattered de-
signs.
Among the new models are mesh
veilings with delicate borders of che
mile in new cOlOrs.
Fur edgings are also used on wells,
In some cases n wide band Of fur is
used for holding the veil in place.
Black, of course, is strong where veil
colDFs are concerned, but faddists are
using taupe, dark brown and beige to
great extent.
