WOMEN SHOULD STUDY FOODS
Nutritive Values Are Not Now Con-
Sidered in Preparing Meals.

"The average man is the greatest
lmpediment we have in attempting to
get the women of Florida to study
foods and their nutritive values" de-
cI&reS Miss Agnes Ellen Harris of the
University Of Florida extension divis-
ion. "The reason is, that a man likes
to eat, and he insists on having what
he his always had on the table. re-

many husbands complain Of being
forced to starve when a properly bal
ancea diet is placed before them. As
q matter Of fact, we are eating about
one-third more than we need. 1t is a
part of the work for the home demon
tration sgents to fight the lavish table
and loft-overs."
Mis- Harris says the table should
rot be loaded for every meal. No

A PLACE TO PLAY AT LIFE.
Trivial Affairs Assume Great lmpor-
tance In Quito, Ecuador.

Every one appears to be entitled to
three guesscs on the population OF
Quito, capital of Ecuador. The figures
range from 10000 to 10000, with the
truth somewhere near the 10000 at
; tributeG to it in Stevenson's time.
Though more in touch with the outside
world than BogOta, 1t has much the
same atmosphere of city apart, a
peaceful. restful spot, with some of the
principal modern convenienccs of II
crude, break-down-often sort, but with
little of the complicated life Of the
great centers Of modern days.
1t ts splendid place to play at life,
to lie fallow and to catch up with one
self, with nothing more exciting to stir
up existence than the evening concert
in the Plaza Mayor, where few of the
inhabitants do not come to stroll at
least once week. A score of car
riages rattle over its cObhlcd streets.
The rails of a street car line had al
ready been laid years before our ar
rival. but the requisite ears had not yet
even been ordered.

less and less food is required to meet

THE FLAG OF OUR COUNTRY.
Beecher's Eloquent Tribute to the
Stars and Stripes.


A thoughtful mind, when it sees
nations FLAG. sees not the flag only, but
the nation itself, and, whatever may
be its symbols, its insignia, 1t reads
chiefly in the tag the government, the
principles, the truths, the history which
belong to the nation that sets 1t forth.
This nation has a banner, and Wher-
ever it strcamed abroad men saw day
break bursting on their eyes, for the
American flag has been the symbol OF
liberty, and men rejoiced in it. Not
another flag on the globe has such an
errand or went forth upon the sea car
rying everywhere the world around
such hope for the captive and such
glorious tidings. The stars upon Ii
were to the pining nations like the
morning stars Of God, and the stripes
upon it were the beams Of morning
light. And wherever the flag comes
and men behold it they see in its sa-
cred blaZonry no rampant lion ana
fierce eagle, but only light, and every
fold significant of liberty.
Let us then twine each thread of the
glorious tissue of our country's flag
about our hcartstrings, and, looking
upon our homes and catching the spirit
that brcathcs upon us from the battle
fields of our fathers. let us resolve.

HUTS FOR BRITISH SOLDIERS
New Invention in Use at the Front
in France to Shelter the
Troops.

Toronto.-A recent invention adding
to the comfort of the British and
Canadian forces at the French front
is described in u dispatch received
here from London. 1t is known as
the Nissen hut, a semicircuar shell
ter with the appearance OF big piece
of etoyepipe, half buried in the earth,
and containing doors and windows.
There is room for - men in each hut.
The convenience of transportation and
the speed with which they can be
erected enable men hitherto forced to
sleep ia the open during an advance
TO obtain shelter,
The event of the week at the Cana
dian army headquarters at the French
front, according TO the dispatch, was
visit by Sir Robert Borden, Canadian
premier, and Robert Rogers and J. d.
Hazen, members of the premier's cab
met. The famous First brigade of the
Dominion's original division passed in

English Farmers Prefer Ordinary

means a modern invention, has not
yet penetrated into some of the re-
mote country districts of England.
The coffin of the late duke of Norfolk
when it arrived from London at his
country estate at Arundel was not put
in a hearse, for none was available
there. but according to custom was
placed in an ordinary farm wagon and
drawn by four horses to the castle.
In many parts of agricultural Eng

ing that the Lords harvest when
gathered should be carried in the

Inc srenes with niodor into the court

the mobiles, and to the car himself, de-
scribed by Iliodor as imam without
tongue, nervous, weak, phlegmatic.

voice, muffled, emitting sounds like

plain. 1t was the French revolution
repeating itself.
Welded Terrible influence.
For years the car had listened to
the teachings" of religious mystics
ana the last and the greatest of these
was Rasputin. Iliodor said he nos.
seSsed almost hypnotic powers and this
power first exerted itself on women
ana then through them on the court it
self. One of those first to fall under
MS influence was the cZarina and the
car soon succumbed.
How strong the influence of the nvs-
tlcs was on the car is illustrated by
the fact that Iliodor relates that when
ms ministers had finished giving him
their opinions of weighty matters the
mystics would sweep in and get the
last moments of the cars attention,
otten reversing all that the ministers
iad said. Rasputin, the greatest of
these, was able to use this weakness
10 great personal advantage, and many
efforts TO overthrow him We're defeat
ed by the ear himself.
1t was shortly after Rasputin was
introduced to court by the wife of a
famous general that the revolution of
1900 took place, and the car and his
court, frightened by the clamoring of
the populace, prepared to flee. Raspu-
I'm, however, presented such a firm
front that the car again took heart
and from that moment Raspntin held
full sway.
Many serious charges were made
concerning Rasputin's personal sway
over the cZarina, Iliodor said, but it
was always the ear who quashed
these charges. What were the prac-
tees of the cult Rasputin led in the
lnnermost circles of the court Iliodor

so-called cult practiced the most re-

The assassination of Stolypin, Inodor
laid directly to Rasputin and the car.
Stolypin had got in Rasputins way
and his elimination was an easy mat
ter; Iliodor said also that it was Ras-
putin who prevented Russia going TO
war with Austria when Austria took
over Bosnia and Herzegovina Count
White was a favorite of Rasputins
and was practically made premier
through RaSputin's offices.
Russia's entering the present war
was due, IliodOr said, to another dream
of Rasputin. He became an ardent
supporter of the idea of a separate
peace with Germany. 1t was only the
scandal raised by the duma and his
subsequent assassination that prevent
ed it.
