Girls Conserve
On Gum to Glue
Coin to Red Cross

One group OF girls at the Moor
head normal school, the Gamma
Neches, contributed s135 in cash
to the MoOrhead chapter Of the
Red Cross.
What can be done by small
organizations that feel the call TO
service is well illustrated by the
excellent record OF the Gamma
Neches. a society heretofore
organized purely for social pur-
poses. This group OF eighteen
girls, under the direction Of Miss
HARRISON, at the very beginning
OF the school year, enlisted in the
work OF the Red Cross. They
put a ban on parties and dances
and feeds, turning the money
that would have been required
for such purposes into a sacrifice
and service fund" and devoted
the time to purposeful meetings
where, in addition to social en-
joyment there could be some
thing good accomplished. AS a
result many sweaters, socks and
other articles have been con-
tributed, one girl alone knitting
three sweaters. On Sunday even
ing, the sacrifice and service box
es were opened, the combined Of
ferings amounting to $135. The
Gamma Neches are to be COM
mended for this splendid show

Psychology Of Taste.

Flavor and appearance of food are
very important factors to be COM
sidered in planning family menus.
We spend an appalling amount OF
our food money for flavor. You know
also that it is really the flavor of the
food you prepare that makes II
popular with your family. The cake
OF perfect texture and even crust
will dry up in the cake. box, while
the cake OF good flavor that can't
compare in these points will dis
appear like magic. The right flavor
aids digestion in that it starts cer-
tain gastric jucies necessary to Dig
estion and best assimilation OF
food.
Mind Effects Digestion.
It is a great waste OF money to
eat during a heated discussion or
just after any mental provocatiom

vendee had been deprived in a suit
brought against him by the owner, 1t
!" i. That the judgment in the former
suit against the present plaintiff is
admissible for the purpose of showing
that he had been deprived Of the

2. A contract for the purchase OF

title to the grain grown thereon as Sc

chase price, was properly admitted in
evidence for the purpose of showing
lack OF title in the defendant.
3. Evidence offered to show fraud
in the execution OF the land sale con-
tract was inadmissible where both
plaintiff and defendant were strangers
to the contract, where both derived
the title to the grain from the pur-
chaser of the land, and where the pur-
chaser had not attempted TO avoid the
contract on the ground of fraud.
Such evidence would establish that
