ABANDON FOOD PREJUDICES

Don't he fnicky. BE willing to try
new foods. Certain plentiful and
nourishing foods widely used and en-.
toyed in one section are practically
unknown In other sections OF the coun.
try. Learn 10 know all the good
things. not few only.
People too easily get into food ruts:
insist on eating only the food they
are used TO. and refuse to give n fair
trial to others. This causes undue
demand for certain staples. with re.
sulting scarcity or high prices when
crops are short At the same time
other valuable foods may be rels,
lively cheap and avaiiabie. A stffk.
ing instance OF this is failure to fully
appreciate rice-a valuable source of
Etarch-when potatoes are scarce
and high. Another example is re.
fusal in certain sections to use any
thing but wheat as bread stun,
wnen corn. n valuable cereal, widely
used elsewhere az a bread stun. is
plentiful and relatively cheap.
Cook Food Properly.
Learn how TO cook all kinds OF sta.
pie foods and 10 serve them in a
variety OF ways. Simple dishes well
prepared are better than expensive
foods badly cooked.
Many persons are pretudiced against
certain foods because. when hrst
tried. the foods were improperly
cooked or prepared.
Remove from your vocabulary
don't like or can't cat"
Most individual pre3udiccs against
wicety popular foods arc either imag.

It fnir trial.

Some Rather Important
School Legislation Passed
By State Legislature

Aitho our hopes were upon the en-
actment of the code and the disap-
pointment occasioned by its failure
is keen, the educational legislation
actually enacted is neither inconsid-
erabIe nor unimportant. says the Col
orado School Journal. Perhaps first
in Importance is the
Tenure of offics for teachers. The
text of this measure is printed in
full in the present issue. II provides
for stable and continuous tenure for
teachers after a three years proba-
tionary period and an election TO a
permanent list by the board of educa-
ton. There is some doubt as to the
exact meaning OF its phraseology. but
the intent is plain and it provides for
written charges. public hearings. ap-
pearance by counsel, etc. as do such
laws elsewhere.
An act concerning fees and salaries
of county superintendents: One Of
the main changes made by this bill
is to put Denver county in the fifth
class with a salary of $1,000 year.
An act to comply with the provi-
sions of the national law concerning
vocational education: This is to en-
able Colorado TO profit by the national
law making appropriations for voca-
tional education in the various states
This was done by the general ssembly
and the law will be of great and
increasing importance to the cause
of education in Colorado. The Jour
nal will print the act In full in May.
An act Increasing the number of
directors in Denver from Ave to sew
en-: This act was passed with the
present school trouble in Denver IN
mind and the election OF the coming
May will be under its provisions.
An Act Relating to the Tenure 81
Service Of Teachers in the
Public Schools.
BE it encated by the general assembly
of the State of Colorado:
Section I. After the expiration of
n period OF probationary employment,
not exceeding three years. the teach.
ers and principals in the public
schools of this state shall be eligible
to election as permanent teachers
and the service OF all teachers and
principals after such election shall
continue during good behavior and
efficiency. Provided, IL during the
, probationary period II is proposed by
the board of education to dispense
