meals should be planned by days and
by weeks, SO that the proper balance
can be maintained in the diet Too
much food is wasted in American
homes-enough, we are told, to feed
the Belgians and the Serbians- 1t is
not necessary to buy a thirty cent
roast and have no good meat, when
one could pay 80 cents, and have
enough left from the first meal for
two or three more Dishes Women
need more business sense. We do not
wish to be like men, but we wish to
be as capable as men in a different
way. The clock and the watch serve
the same purpose, but one may swing
from the tower and the other lie near
the heart
The music at the morning session
was furnished by Miss Gertrude Nut
ton, of Bethany college, pianist, and
by the Ladies' chorus of the Topeka
Federation. The chorus sang Gypsy
Daisy by Woodman. The members
are women of the music department of
the federation, led by Mrs. George w.
Payne. The chorus is to be a perma-
nent institution in Topeka, and will be
built up of the best material the lead
ers are able to get.

training of an army man at West
Point costs the government $4,000
With its extraordinary educational

there is a war for every generation,
that means that only one-tbirty- third
