A BAN ON HAWAIIAN DANCERS

Atlantic City, March 29.-Ha-
waiian dancers will no longer be per-
mitted to cavort about beach front
cabarets. Director of Public Safety
Sooy issued the following warning:
owing to the complaints made last
summer by visitors and citizens of At.
lantic City against the Hawaiian
dances permitted at various cafes, the
commissioners have determined to no.
tify the managers of cabarets that
such dances. will not be permitted
during the coming season. This is to
notify you not to make contracts with
such performers, and that contracts
already made should be rescinded at
once"
Discussing the order, Director Sooy
said that when the Hawaiian dancers
first appeared at local cafes their
grass skirts were modest and becom-
ing. AS the competition became keen,
however, the skirts continued to
shrink to a point that provoked pro-
test. Atlantic City is LIBERAL" Di-
rector Sooy declared, land strains a
point in this regard, but there is a
line which cannot be passed"

comes necessary to substitute stand
ard head rice for potatoes.
standard grade head rice, as We
have seen, is not a substitute for po-
tatoes. Potatoes contain n vast ex-
cess of base-forming substances
whereas standard grade head rice
(polished rice) contains an excess OF
acid-forming substances. They bear
no more resemblance to each other
than an undenatured ripe banana
bears TO highly milled patent flour.
On the banana monkeys and hui
man beings can live indefinitely. On
an exclusive diet of patent flour they
are doomed to tuberculosis and col
lapse.
The rice bulletin, issued for free
distribution among the poor. urges as
matter of economy" the use of rice
with cheese, peas and beans, all of
which now happen to be among the
most expensive foods on the market.
The bulletin also publishes a num-
ber of recipes which call for the use
of tomato sauce, now a luxury; cab
bage, which for a time threatened to
be seen only in museums of natural
history; onions, which since the civil
war have never been so high and kid
ney beans, which happen to be the
most costly aristocrats of the bean
family.
In passing it might be said that
beans of any kind are cheap at any
price. They have never been prom
erly appreciated in the United States
since the practical extinction of the

Why Stay Fat?
You Can Reduce

The answer of most fat people is
that it is too hard, too troublesome
and too dangerous to force the weight
down. However, in Marmola Pres
cription Tablets, all these difficulties
are overcome. They are absolutely
harmless, entail no dieting or exer-
else, and have the added advantage
of cheapness. A large case is sold
by druggists at 75c. or if preferable,
they can be obtained by sending price
direct to the Marmola Co, S64 Wood
ward Ave, Detroit, Mich. Now that
YOU know this you have no excuse
for being too fat, but can reduce two,
three or four pounds a week with
out fear of bad after-effects.

ing less expensive substitutes fol
onions, tomatoes and cabbage. There
are no such substitutes.
The free rice bulletin declared
Many people do not like rice" 1t re-
mained silent as to the reason be-
! hind the fact.
People do not like head rice because
! it has no flavor. 1t is one of the de-
natured foods which in itself is so in
/ sipid and characterless that it must
/ be drenched and disguised under a
mass of gravy soups, sauces or other
condimental or succulent treatment in
order to make it palatable.
Natural brown rice possesses a
| flavor of such character that it needs
no such drenching or Disgusting.
Growing children on a diet of nat
ural brown rice will continue to grow.
On the same diet mothers can bring
forth their offspring and nurse their
infants indefinitely. on diet of
standard grade head rice they go to
pieces.
If there ever was a time when all
foods entering the larder of a family
forced to subsist on a small income
should be whole, complete, and entire,
that time is now.
Paris, with it's regulations of March
II, 1917, enforcing the use of whole
meal bread, where heretofore white
rolls were common, has set the eX-
ample. The cities of the United
States, with profit to themselves,
would do well to follow it.
Honest whole meal bread (not the
molasses-stained fraud that mas
querades as graham bread in the
bakeshops of our large cities), with
whole wheat breakfast foods, natural
brown rice, whole oatmeal, whole
cornmeal, unpealed barley peas,
beans, lentils, and whole pure pas
teurized milk. would stiffen the ma
tion's backbone and help to put real
preparedness on firm feet.
The rice bulletin was designed to
meet what was said to be an emer-

American Indian, who ate them in
great quantities.
But no real economy is achieved in
! exploiting the sham virtues of stand
ard head rice when such expensive
foods are included in it's preparation
for the table. Fresh tomatoes, in the
principal cities of the United States
during the first week of March, 1917.
were quoted at % cents a pound
wholesale for prime quality and 10
cents a pound wholesale for seconds,
At retail these tomatoes sold at
from 20 to 80 cents a pound. Such
tomatoes are, of course, hothouse to-
matoes. Standard canned tomatoes
No. are now worth S1.25 a dozen
wholesale or approximately Is cents
can retail They contain 80 per
cent. water, and estimated on a dry
solid basis are worth $3.50 a pound,
at which price we might as we'll eat
the expensive potato.
Certainly If preparation with to-
matoes is essential to the finished dish
of standard head rice the argument of
economy falls fiat and all reason for
substituting rice in the place of the
potato Vanishes.
During the first week of March old
onions were worth S12 a hundred
wholesale, and We're bringing 25 cents
a pound in the market at retail. One
year ago onions sold at 20 cents a
peck. Ten days ago they sold at S2.40
peck. Any recipe calling for onions
in order to complete a dish. the base
of which is standard grade head rice.
results in the production of finished
dish far more expensive than the po-
tato even at prices twice as high as
they now are.
1t may be that the recipes calling
for the use of these luxuries with rice
were worked out when the so-called
substitutes for potatoes were cheap.
But to make rice palatable and at
the same time as cheap as the rice
bulletin asserts 1T to be, we are re-
duced to the painful necessity of find

THE SOLDIERS LITTLE JOKE

Paris, March 29.-The Paris police
authorities have decided in the future
to arrest all soldiers on leace who

other high explosives in theunder-

soaring other passengers to get out.
1t has been a common practice for
soldiers weighed down with a steel
helmet, knapsack, blanket roll and
canteen to squeeze into a crowded car
and then warn the other passengers
Don't jostle or crowd me or my
grenades may blow up
Thus usually caused many fellow
passengers to leave the car at the next
station, thus giving the soldiers plenty
of room and seats. Two poilus have
been arrested for this hoax.
