Cheap Food

I know not what this uproar
means about the cost of living ;
I'm eating dandelion greens, and
much delight they're giving. The
dandelions grow around, in yellow
blooming splendor, wherever they
can find the ground, and they are
nice and tender. You'll find them
growing on your lot, as on your
lawn you potter; you put the
blamed things in pot, together
with some water. You boil them
with a piece of meat, then at the
table rally, and dine, and what you
cannot eat you throw out IN the
alley. Such diet at this season
means the cure of ailments chron-
ic, for all physicians hold that
greens are quite helpful tonic.
They heal the nerves, all torn to
shreds, your blood and bones they
nourish, they bring new hair to
old bald heads, and make the
whiskers flourish. But dandellons
grow at large, and do not cost a
penny; we want the things for
which they charge, or else we
won't have any. If peaches grew
on every shrub, if every weed
bore honey, we'd say, They
aren't fit for grub, or they would
cost us money"

at Town and Country
Club.

About 800 members and guests of the
Town and Country Club attended a
meeting at the clubhouse. Georgia ave-
nue. northwest, last evening and heard
John Temple Graves of Georgia make
an eloquent appeal for direct repre-

of Congress. This representation. said
the speaker. is the first necessary step
in making Washington the focal point
of the world, contamination both pos
sible and probable after the close of
the war.
In order to make Washington a model
city Mr.. Graves advocated representa-
tive civic organization with substan-
tia1 backing that would work for moth
ing else but the betterment of Wash
ington. The citizens of Washington the
speaker divided into three classes
manent, temporary and casual. There
should be cooperation between these
classes, Mr.. Graves said, especially be-
tween the first and second.
Flags Of the United States, France,
England and Italy formed the keynote
of the decorations, both inside and out
side the club, while music was furnish
ed by an orchestra concealed within a
miniature fortress.

TALKS OF THE RUGGED LIFE"
Rev. DR.. Pierce Addresses Students
of National Service School.

The Rugged Life" was the subject of
an address by Rev. DIR. Ulysses c. B.
Pierce, pastor of All Souls Unitarian
Church, at the National Service School
yesterday afternoon. 1T is with life as
II is with language" DR.. Pierce told
the students.
There must be consonants as well as
Soweis. The yoWels stand for the beau
ties. the graces and amenities of life.
The consonants correspond with the
sterner and more austere life The
Steiner life that faces us now demands
the habit of democracy. 1t makes us
mingle with our own kind, and that is
one important thing
This sterner life demands active CO.
operation in community spirit. 1t de-
mands an appreciation of the oppor-
tunities of this age. 1t is a great time
to be living because of the great prob
lens to be solved. There was never a
time in the history of the world when a
life counts for SO much as it does to-
day"
