DISTINCTIVE FEATURES.

The attention Of all who are inter-
ested In education is respectfully call
ed to the special advantages now Of
fered by the virginia Military Insti-
tute. Among these advantages are:
I. It's Distinctive Military System.
This has secured for It the. name Of
the West Point Of the South" 1t
tends to muscular development and
ularity In food. sleep and exercise.
1t creates habits OF pror1titude order,
discipline and subordination. 1t fos-
ters seIf-reiIance and force or personal
character by removing all extrAneous
distinctions, and casting each youth.
whatever his antecedent circum-
stances. on his own individual RESPONSE
bility. 1t is equal. uniform and whole
somely restraining. without rigor.
IL. Its Distinctive Academic Currf-
culum. This embraces the study of
English, History, French or Spanish
German Latin. Mathematics. Phys
les. Geology. Mechanics. Surveying
Literature. Practical Science.
III. II. TeeAAtcal Scientf Courses.
Provision is made for the members of
the second class to elect between the
courses of Civil Engineering. of Ana
lytical and Applied Chemistry and of
Electrical Engineering. These courses
are of one and a half years duration,
and are illustrated by continuous field
and laboratory practice. The Depart
ment of Engineering is thoroughly
equipped with instruments and models;
and the chemical physical and miner
illogical laboratories have all appli-
ances for thorough practical instruc-
ton.
". It's Distinctfve Sywtem Of Instruc-
| ton, namely. dividing OF classes into
sections, whereby the students are ac-
curately graded. and each secures a
share Of the personal attention of the
| instructor. The success of the educa-
| tional work OF the school turns large
| ly on this method.
v. Its Economy. The expenses are:
Pay cadets $425 year; Virginia ca

THE TWINE MONOPOLY.

The senate committee on agriculture
has discovered a factor in the in
creased cost of living that has its ORR
gin in Mexico, but that is not without
domestic Encouragement.
The marketing of sisal hemp from
which binder Irvine is made is i'll the
hands of q monopoly which is financed
by GROUP of American bankers The
combine has doubled the price of
sisal since the senate committee began
it's inquiry, entailing an annual in
creased cost to the American farmer
of $26, 100000.
What can be done about the MeM-
can concern does not appear and prob
ably the only thing that could be done
to the bankers would be to apply Some
of the sisal in the form of 4 rope.
This method probably would be con-
sidered too severe.

people. He has obtained a $4,000 or
100000 courthouse or postoffice at
the expense of the nation. 1t adds
much to his prestige and vote-getting
power
An expert says of the s39.0O0,o00
appropriation that a small part of it
will go to satisfy Republicans who
must be taken care Of and will be
expended in districts strongly Repub-
lican, while the larger part will go to
Democratic districts where politically
it will do the most good and add to the
glory of Democrats now in the saddle.
Populations shift, the parcels post
brings about changes that often make
the postoffice data of a few years ago
valueless today. but on the political
trading and the conditions of five or
ten years ago we build our federal
structures of today, and on the condi-
tons of today we build the structure
of ten years hence.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS
The Table.

Cocoanut-Apple Balls-Pare ana
core tart, firm apples of uniform size
place on plate, fill centers with scrap
ed maple sugar and set plate in steam
er over boiling water. Cook until ap-
pies are tender. basting frequently
with the syrup that forms on the dish.
When fruit is tender but not out OF
shape remove from steamer and let
them become cold. Prepare an icing
of confectioner's sugar. Flavor with
almond extract, cover the cold apples.
then roll in grated cocoanut and set
on paraffin paper until the icing sets.
Roast Spareribs With Oyster Dress
ing-Select two pieces of spareribs the
same in shape and size, weighing from
one and one-half to two pounds each
Wash well, dry thoroly, season with
salt and pepper and good pinch of
sage. Let stand one hour. Make an
oyster dressing of two cups drained
oysters, three cups grated bread
crumbs, one-haf cup milk. one egg,
salt and pepper. Mix dressing Wen
Lay one of the spareribs flat on table
and fill evenly with the dressing; lay
the other piece of ribs on top of dress
ing. Tie both firmly together with
strong cord and bake in moderate
oven two hours, basting often. Make
gravy in usual way. then add one-half
| cup boiled and mashed chestnuts. This
roast is delicious and takes the place
of more expensive meats, such as
| chicken, goose or duck.
| Potted Turkey and Lamb Liver
| Get a small lambs liver, slice and put
! in-sauce pan with the turkey liver
| (also sliced). Add just enough water
to cover, put on tight cover and SIM
mer until tender. Then cool, chop
fine, put thru potato ricer, add just
enough of stock to make a smooth
paste; add one tablespoon sweet but
ter, salt and pepper to taste; carefully
stir all together until well blended.
| You may also add mushrooms cut and
| boiled, and this makes it taste like

How Much Do You Give?
BY RUTH CAMERON.
fell to- talking the other

We fell to talking the other day
about gift giving-how much it is Gus
tomary among people of moderate
beans to spend on gifts of various
sorts.
Take wedding presents. for instance.
When 1 was a girl working in an
office" said the Most Recently Wed
Lady, when that subject came up, II
used to pay four or five dollars for a
wedding present for anyone 1 knew
friend. l didn't know what other peo-
pie paid. 1 was getting pretty good
money, and thought it would be mean
to give less. And then 1 was married
myself. 1 didn't look the gift horses in
the mouth. but 1 simply couldn't help
knowing that people didn't give as much
as that. Now, did I give too much ?"
From wedding presents the CONVEX
sation turned to Christmas giving.
How much do you spend on Christmas
was the question
A working girl with a good salary
said she spent sixty dollars last year,
but she felt it was more than she
should have.
A family in very comfortable cir
cumstances spent four hundred dollars
last year.
A young married couple who have
some difficulty in getting along spent
thirty dollars.
A young man who probably doesn' t
get over fifteen dollars a week belongs
to a xtyeight- dollar Christmas club.
I don't know how much he spends on
Christmas, but 1 think most of it.
| All this was Interesting, but not as
much so as it would have been if we
had had more definite information
about each others incomes
! Which brings me to an idea which
came to me while we talked.
| Can't We have a symposium on this
subject?
| Write me unsigned letters telling me
what your income is and what you
| spend for Christmas. Tell me what
| you spend for wedding presents, what
you put aside for charity Or if you
/ put aside no definite sum. what do YOU
/ give to the church? What do you
give, for instance, when someone
| comes round to collect a Christmas
purse for the postman or the police
man OF to ask contributions for the
Red Cross.
Don't make the letters long, be-
cause we want to print lots of them
You would like to know what the
other fellow does, wouldn't you? Well
here's your chance to exchange
anonymous condolences and thus find
out without awkwardness or embar-
| rassment.

perience in the field to make him the
soldier par excellence.
At the age of 10 every Swiss school
boy begins his program of physical
training. The course consists of the
practice of exercises, selected after
long experience and applied in keep
ing with their value as regards a sys-
tematic, harmonious training of the
body and development of it's organs.
1t progresses from easy perform
ances for the boy of 10 to difficult
problems for the boy of 5 in setting
up exercises, calisthenics, work on
horizontal bars, parallel bars, rings
and horse, jumping, vaulting, climbing
and all other applied gymnastics. This
work gradually takes up more and
more of the boys time. The boy of
he of 5 devotes one hour every day
to such practice. ,
The exercises and drills are con-
Quoted out-of-doors whenever possible.
Every school yard has stationary

apparatus and side horses

MILLIONS FOR ROADS.

Expenditures for road improve
ments in the New England states in
1914 showed increases over such ex-
penditures in 1904 ranging from 10
per cent in Rhode Island to nearly
205 per cent in Massa chusetts, accord
ing to road statistics for the section,
just published by the office of public
roads and rural engineering of the
United States department of agricuI-
ture. The total for 1914 was $15.-
5,766.01. and for 1904 1888, 1870.
OF the expenditures in 1914, Massa-
chusetts spent more than 100000
and Connecticut over $3,640,000. The
approximate expenditures for the re-
naming states were: Maine, $2,642,-
900; New Hampshire, $1,59O.O00;
Vermont, $1.O24,OOO. and Rhode Is
land, $446,5
The surfaced roads of the six states
had an aggregate length of 1S,036.7S
miles on January 1, 1915. This was
20.S0 per cent of the total road mile
age, which was 86.71S. While the
percentage of improved roads is a tri-
file less than that given in the statis-
tics gathered in 1909. this merely in
dicates, in the opinion of federal road
specialists, that the present statistics
are more nearly accurate and not that
there has been any lack of growth in
the road systems of the section.
Road and bridge bonds to the
amount of $50, ,52282 were out
standing in the. six New England
states January 1, 1915. OF these, all
but $1,606, O22.S2 of town bonds in
Massa chusetts were state obligations
All the New England states now have
highway departments and apply state
funds to the aid of road improvement

PORK BARREL NO. 4,

One of the annual pork barrels has
been rolled in on the floor of the halls
of. congress. 1t is the one known as
the Public Buildings bill and carries
appropriations totaling $39,OOO,0OO.
OF this amount s6.OO0,OO0 is for a site
for a new postoffice in Chicago. The
postoffice now in existence has been
completed but a few years.
None of the structures provided for
inAthe pending bill will be built before
1920 and most of them will be put up
between 1920 and 1925. Need and
conditions may change by that time in
various of the localities concerned but
without regard to these the buildings
will go up if the appropriation is
made.
The treasury department is 375
buildings behind in structures for
which appropriations were made be-
tween 1910 and 1913.
All of this is going on in the ia ce
of an enormous deficit in the treasury
balance
No thought is ever given, says the
New York Mail. to combining the con-
struction of public edifices as much
as possible to times of business de-
PRESTON or when material is cheap.
There is no system. study or scientific
method employed. There is no
thought or desire for economy.
