has cleaned up several sections of the
city which were a menace to public
health. While it is not expected that
the demand for sewers will be as great
during the coming year as it has been
during the past. we shall nevertheless
be called upon to carry out some sewer
construction .end l believe that We
should give this question careful con-
sideration.
Departments.
Each committee of the city council
should consider carefully the needs and
requirements OF its particular depart
ment. Each committee should visit its
department frequently and take an ac-
tive interest in it's work. Frequent
committee meetings should be held and
matters of importance should be thor
oughly discussed and passed upon.
Conclusion.
We meet today ambitious to serve
our city to the best of our ability. May
we work together in harmony and &C
cord for the best interests Of Augusta
that each has important du-
ties to perform and each anxious to do
his part in the affairs of government.

FOODS WHICH FURNISH ENERGY:
l. Foods rich in sugars and starches
as: Sugar, Fruits, Rice, Potatoes, Ce-

ROOTS AND TUBERS.
2. Foods rich in fat as: Butter,

vegetables as cabbage, celery, etc.
Fruits, raw and cooked.
4. Foods which keep the intestine in
an active condition: Vegetables,
Fruits, Whole Cereals.
Once the uses Of each food have been
determined, the next problem is to
make the proper combinations to form
a meal. To have a we'll balanced diet
airy means supplying in the meals Of
each day all the food principles needed
to keep the body tissue in repair, to
furnish sufficient energy for the days
work and to keep the body in good
healthful working order. The house.
wife must study the needs Of her fam
lily and select those foods best adapted
to their use. She must study their &C.
equations and plan such foods as will
best furnish the required energy.
Most Of all are needed plain, nom
stimplating. easily digested foods
which are simple and easily prepared.
The unmodif1ed foods such as grains,
vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs and milk
may be depended upon to supply all
the necessary elements to sustain the
growth. work and functions Of the
human body. Potatoes, fresh vegeta-
bles and fruits. thoroughly baked bread,
milk and eggs should form the staple
articles Of food in every family.

One of the most perplexing problems
the home maker confronts is planning
three meals a day. The ability OF
person to live an efficient life depends,
to a certain extent, upon the food ne
eats. The planning of meals is duty
not to be attended to in any uncertain
manner. The farmer has long been
studying the question Of proper foods
for his stock 1t is time the housewife
should give careful consideration to
the food for her family. Personal
tastes and individual peculiarities Will
always exist and always must be con-
sidered. On the other hand. unhealth-
full dietetics and the unwise expendi-
ture of money for food are serious
faults to be remedied. The housewife
can study the most fundamental prin-
ciples relating to the needs OF the hu-
man body and she can study food val
ues. 1t is within her power to do some
thing very practical. to give well
planned meals to her family and to
gain a freedom from family food Gus
toms.
AdaptabiIity Of Foods.
1t is impossible to group foods under
one function for practically all foods
are capable Of doing more than one
thing in the body. However, in gen.
eral way they may be classified under
their most important functions.
Foods which furnish protein to the
body for tissue building:
Milk Meat Legumes
Eggs Fish Cereals
Cheese Poultry Nuts
Care must be taken in selecting these
foods. One cannot entirely replace an
other. Variety is necessary. Animal
protein is necessary to the body, hence

a Democrat of pronounced Democracy
but with a fairness of political vision
very rare with Democrats. He has

Senator will not be swerred from his

A BELATED ADMISSION

Dr.. Pratt VINO was somewhat per-
'niciously active in the late prediction
in defending some OF the
trade fallacies connected with the De-
partment OF Commerce, with which he
is associated in a subordinate capac'
ity, stumbled on all important econom'
ic truth in statement made at Oma-
ha. this week. DR.. Pratt is reported
as saying: Out here in the grain
country you know now what export
trade can do for prices. and that.
though our foreign trade is only 10
TO per cent of our total business, YET
ii is mighty important part and Of
Ell means the difference between pros
perity and stagnation." 1t is Il belatp.l
admission of what the Republicans
have contended for months, that our
present prosperity is based upon DIT
war-order exports. and that without.
that export trade we would be in +he
same depression that existed before
the war began.
Our export trade certainly means
the difference between prosperity and
stagnation. In the ten months the
present Democratic tariff law Was IN
effect before the war began our eX-
port balance was s26l.000. 600 less than
for the corresponding ten months IN
the year previous. In that ton months
Of free trade we were lin period Of
stagnation as compared with ;rI
months of prosperity in the year be-
fore. Not only in the grain country
but all over the country, We now
know what export trade can do :0E
prices. We know what il can do sOC
employment and for wages. But all
through the recent political campaign
the Department Of Commerce belittIed
our war order business and the Dem
ocratic campaign managers claimed
credit to the Democratic administra-
ton for the present prosperity. "Pi:;-
less publicity that awaits upon par
tisan politics is pernicious.

HAS DECIDED NO PRINCIPLE

The farther away we get from the
early November election the more I'M
possible it becomes to discover that
the attitude Of the voters WITH re-
spect to any party principle was rem
dered decisive by the results. II can
not escape observation. however, thai
personal auimosiies and factional dis
turbances, which for the past SIN
years have Slapped the strength OF the
Republican party, made their contrl0u-
ton to the defeat of 1916. The Demo
cratic party seems to thrive on the
discord within its councils. Twenty
years OF dieting on the husks OF de-
feat ultimately convinced the Democ-
racy that red meat was the reward
held out for united effort. Woodrow
Wilson had violated every principle
1s Id dear 70 the disciples OF Jefferson.
but his retirement spelt the downfall
of Democratic supremacy and 1t was
easier TO relinquish principle than
power.
The he kept Us out OF war appeal,
coupled with the purely demagogic
prophesy OF war to follow change Of
administration sank into the hearts OF
the imid, and many who feared the
bullet OF an imaginary foreign Zoe
marked the ballot OF a real domestic
enemy, an enemy OF our stable pros
perity, TO our constitutional form VI
government, and TO our international
nrestiee. But neither were these Of
frighted ones actuated by a party prin-
csple, unless their party emblem is q
cotton-tau rabbit.
The cardinal principle on which the
two great parties have been divided
is the tariff. That was an issue which
was Systematically eraded b. The
Democrats, and availed Of all TOO lit
tie by Mr.. Hughes. But the tariff
question Is with US stronger than ever
and it need surprise no one if the
close Of the European war finds Wood
TOW Wilson ranting for protection
with all the ferTor that he exhibited
when he back-tracked on the prepa'
,edness issue and assured US that the
world was on fire. The protection
sentiment grows stronger in the coun-
9ry with each year and reelection mas
not stabilized the Presidential mind.
And we shall be disappointed il We
do not find him proclaiming some day
That ne was really the father of the
protective tariff
