tFrom the United States Department of
Agriculture)
At time when 1t is imperative that
AZ much food as possible should be
raised and rs little as possible wasted
the housewife needs to know how much
food Is really necessary for the pres
ervation of bodily health and how
much Is eaten merely to please the up
petite.
TO ascertain the correct answer to
these questions in the individual case
would involve an amount of figuring
which 1t Is hardly likely that the ordl-
nary woman would care to undertake.
obviously the amount OF food varies
with the kind of work that the person
does, and children require q somewhat
different ration, more abundant in
some respects and less abundant in
Others, than adults. For practical pur.
poses, however, II Is quite possible for
the housewife with a little thought to
furnish meals that approximate at
least the quantity which the health Of
her family requires.
select Foods" the following materials
are suggested as one of the many com.
Dlnntions suitable for days ration for
rnmily consisting of man and
woman who do moderately hard mus
cular work, and of three children be-
tween three and twelve years old:
Four and one-hnlf pounds of bread,
having the same food value as three
pounds of wheat or rye -four, oatmeal,
cornmeal or hominy, or rice; or about
2% pounds of cereals and five or six
medium-sized potatoes.
Three-fourths cupful of fat Clutter
or butter with of. beef drippings or
other faD-a weekly allowance of 21s
to 3 pounds.
A little more than one cupful of
sugar. or a weekly allowance of four
pounds; or an equivalent amount of
some other sweet.
Four pounds in all of fresh fruits
and fresh or root vegetables.
One Of the two following, the choice
depending on the age of the children:
Three quarts of milk and one pound
of other foods taken from the meat
and meat-substltute group.
Two quarts of milk and IA pounds
of other foods taken from the meat
and meat-substltute group.
In these materials bread and other
preparations Of cereals play an impor-
tant part. This Is because such foods
are wholesome and economical. wheth-
err the cereal Is used as breakfast
dish, as -four or meal in bread and
cakes, or in other ways. An equally
nourishing and wholesome diet might
be planned which would contain less
cereal. but this would make II neces-
sary to increase the amount of more
costly foods, such as meats, fruits,
vegetables and sweets. To make n RI
ton In which cereals play such an i'm
portant part attractive, however, 1t Is
necessary that they be prepared with
care and with the exercise of some in
genuity to secure variety in flavor. For
example, rice, macaroni and homlny
can often he made more appetizing and
nutritious by combining with them
small amounts of materials which have

 One may easily believe that it required two years of preparation and a half mill lion dollars to give this picture to the public It was in the harbor of Nassau that the Williamson brothers first dem onstrated to the world that undersea photography was not a probability nor a possibility. but a wonderful reality.
 So successful was that expedition with the public that it gave risesto the de- termination for great picture to be staged largely on sea bolton. When Di- rector Stuart Patton of the Universal laid before the Williamson brothers the prop osition for filming Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" these wizards of the deep gave him the assurance that the picture could be made. And now we have the realization of that dream in the most thrilling and stupendous pro- duction of the age

With weary dejection Margaret climbed the three dark flights to her back hall room. The smoke blackened roofs shut stained window.
 The first glimpse of the mail that had been thrust under the door brought to her throat the sick clutching that al- ways came with rejected manuscript. Inside was the usual slip without even a personal line to take away the sting.
 Would she have the heart to send 1t out again? She had put into it her best work for she had written about the things she knew. It was a story of a sordid boarding house-the life she was living Having woven into it her own struggles, her heart aching loneliness, ner starved ambition, she had called it The Woman Alonei"
 She was still turning broodingly through the manuscript when there came the clamorous clang of the dinner bell. How she loathed the long table crowded with garrulous boarders. There was no es- cape and she started down to the base= ment The entrance of Mrs. Devlin cut short the complaints of her boarders who a moment before had been demand ing something different once in a while.
 Jimmy Dale, fresh young shipping clerk whose seat was beside Margaret's, annoyed her by obnoxious attentions throughout the meal and Margaret was glad to rush off without her resert. Hur- rying up, she closed the transom over her door to shut out the sounds of dis turbance downstairs.
 That same evening, several miles across the city, Mary Kennedy stood before her silver strewn dressing table examining the faint lines under her eyes.
 There was in her heart the dread chill that comes to every woman with the first signs of fading youth. She tried to comfort herself with the thought that youth meant less to her than to most women, for she had so much in her home and Horace.
 Yet this very reassurance brought more poignant worry. For months Horace had been becoming more ab- stracted more absorbed in his work and less interested in her and the home. It was the price of his success-that she must pay.
 Horace's heavy step on the stairs! Eag-

 An echo of the proceedings came with a letter from the star requesting Ken nedy to write a series of articles on the abuses in the courts through unscrupu- lous attorneys. It had always been Ken nedy's ambition to write and in this offer Mary saw an opportunity to bring them nearer arresting his growing abstraction.
 Reluctantly Horace promised to send a typewriter home so that she might copy the articles.
 Another week and they were well into
 the work. Accustomed to his office ste- nographer, he was at first amused, then impatient at her many errors. He sug-

 Reluctantly she conceded to a ste-

 Remembering Margaret Warner and her
 statement that she was often forced to do typing, Kennedy decided to secure
 her services. He phoned her and she gladly accepted his offer of evening work.
 The next evening Kennedy greeted her
 cordially, sensing her embarrassment and trying to put her at ease. The work went easily and well and arrangement of three evenings week was agreed upon. Tonight she was too happy to rebel at , the sordidness of her home surroundings
 In the six months since Margaret had come to New York there had been many days of bitter Encouragement. Only pride and grim determination goaded her on in her ambition to be a famous writer
