Sc OF HIGH DENOMINATIONS
STAMP TO BE ENCOURAGED

AS measure Of economy post
masters ard postofiice EMPLOYEES
are directed to encourage the public
to use stamps of the highest denorai-
nation suited to the amount Of.
postage required on all mail. For
example, &c stamp instead of two
1c stamps should be affixed to
letters requiring two cent postage
hnd lOc instead Of SIC should be
attached to parcels requiring 1Oc
postage. Cooperation between post
office employees and the public in
the sale and use Of stamps of the
denominations will affect large
saving to the Government in the
cost of producing, transporting, and
eancelling them, and will benefit the
public in minimizing the number of
stamps handled and affixed to mail.
This benefit will be especially i'm
portand to business concerns mail
ing large Quantities Of letters and
parcels and postmasters are direct
cd to bring the suggestion particu-
larly to their notice.
By order,

THIS is A PRACTICAL WAY OF
LOWERING THE COST OF
LIVING.

Fruits are valuable part of a
balanced meal, and may be eat
en- n larger quantities than at pres
ert Fruits and nuts should be con-
sidered an economical source of
nrtritive material. Fruit and fruit
juices keep the blood in healthy
condition. A large quantity of sugar
spoils the flavor of fruit and makes
it less easily digested.
A great deal of fruit should be
canned with little or no sugar.
Plenty of grape and other fruit
juices should be bottled, which will
mean better health and greater
economy in the cost of the table.
Juicy fruits, such as berries and
grapes, require no water in the cam
ming; one gill of water to six quarts
Of berries may be used. One gill Of
water to quart of grape juice is a
good proposition.
The food value of corn meal is as
follows:
One pound of cornmeal is equal
to 1 pound of wheat flour, l pound
Of rice, 1-2 pounds of cheese,
IL ga pounds of round steak, 2 doz-
en- eggs, 1-2 peck of potatoes, 6
pints of sweet milk.
Sugar
Sugar is valuable and concen-
trated food, and should be eaten in
moderate quantities, rather sparing-
ly. A lump Of sugar contains as
much nutriment as an ounce of
potatoes.
Green Peas and Beans
Green peas and beans are among
our most valuable green vegetables,
Dried peas and beans are rich in
protein and nitrogenous constitu-
ents, which is the chief nutrient of
meat, and can thus take the place OF
a large part of the meat in the diet
Rice is valuable source OF
starch and should be more generally
used than potatoes are scare anc
high in pirce.
| Value and Care of Milk
| Whole milk, skim milk and but
termilk are highly nourishing anc
aluable foods; they require no pre-
paration, have no waste, are easily
digested.
Skim milk furnishes proteir
about four times as cheaply as beef
One quart of milk has as much pro
tein as ounces of sirloin steak,
ounces of round steak, 4 eggs, 81
ounces of fowl.
One quart of milk has as mucl
energy as II ounces of sirloin steak
IL ounces of round steak, 1O.'
ounces of fowl, 8 IL eggs.
Keep milk cool, clean and cover
The Morgan City daily review. (Morgan City, La.) 1916-1920, 1917-06-11

ed continuously. Never let it get
warmer than so degrees FIR.
Bacteria, such as those which
cause milk to sour, develop very
slowly and cause little change in
milk when kept at such low temper
ature. Scald first, and then cool, all
vessels into which milk is to be pour
ed for keeping or serving.
Never pour milk which has been
exposed to the air back into the bot
tie containing other milk. Before
you open bottle of milk wash and
wipe the outside Of the cap with
water and clean cloth. The little
depression at the top of the bottle
collects dust, or water or milk,
which may attract flies.
Even in the cleanest refrigerator,
never keep milk in an open vessel.
Keep milk clean, cold, continuously
covered.

The leaders of the Progressive par
ty of the parish expect during the
month of January to take definite
action relative to the question of the
continuance of the party in the Par
ish. The Registrar of Voters states
that all who intend to change their
party affiliation, should do so be-
fore the end of January 1918 in
order that there be no doubt as to a
full six months interval between the
date of the change Of party affilia-
ton and the democratic primary
election for Congressman and Sen
ator to be held probably in August
1918. 1t is believed that under the
present election laws of the State of
Louisiana, that the Progressive par
ty has now no legal status, and its
continuance means the disfranchise-
ment Of its voters. This is ques-
ton that the leaders wish the voters
themselves to pass upon and a Par
ish Convention will probably be held
for that purpose.

AN APPRECIATION.

In the passing away Of Mr.. Doc
Jones of WartraCe, there passed INFO
the great beyond one of natures noble
men. The esteem in which he vas
held by both white and colored, show
ed the worth of the man. One of
the leading white citizens said to the
officiating clergyman, you can't say
too many good things about Doc
Jones. He was greatly interested in
The uplift of his race. He was ever
ready to help his fallen brother rise
Mr.. Jones was seen best in his fami-
ly life. He loved home. To him
here was no place like home. His
was an exceptionally brilliant fami-
ly, talented and of good repute. He
managed to educate his children and
they are making their mark in the
world.
Mr.. Jones was an ardent church
man, being a member of the Chris
ion church. He fellowshipped with
other churches and gave literally to
help spread the gospel. He will be
missed in church circles. His hon
esty and integrity was generally rec
ognized. He believed in justice to all
men. He was Industrious. He was
loving husband and father. The
lives of such men are Of incalculable
GOOD. Being dead they yet speak
Real worth is always recognized.

AND NURES TRAINING
SCHOOL OPENS.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 15-Another
big hospital and training school
threw open its doors in this city
today. This time it was the Wilson
Surgical Hospital and Nurse Train
ing School located at 1903 Pierce
st. The opening exercises of the
school were largely attended. Prom
inent citizens from various sections of
the country were programmed to at
tend, notable among those were Drs.
J. H. Hale and S. S. Caruthers of
Nashville. 1t was also learned that
Rev. Preston Taylor, Brig. Gen. Of
the Knights of Pythias will be in
the city. The prime mover and pro-
moter of the new institution is Dr.
j. T. Wilson who is now the Surgeon
in-chief but who has only been in
this city for few years, having
come from Nashville where he form
erly conducted the Wilson Infirmary.
But the president of the new hos
pital is DR.. w. S. Martin, while DR..
c. j. Covington is secretary, DR.. A.
D. Bias, treasurer and Miss Annie
B. Wilson Of Philadelphia, head
nurse. Handy's Band furnished
music throughout the day. 1t was
announced further that there will be
free clinic at this new hospital every
Tuesday and Friday.

firmly grounded was Miss James in
musical technique, musical history
and the essentials of harmony that
this seemingly phenomenal feet was

Thus, 1t will be seen, Miss James

music in the land. Besides this, she

Tullahoma, Tenn.-After spend

session here, the Tennessee Metho-
dist Episcopal Conference closed
Sunday with religious services in the
vrious churches throughout the city.
From all reports of the various de-
partments and from the announce
ments of the presiding bishop, it was
one of the most successful confer
ences held in many years. The work
of missions and the subject Of edu-
cation were given first place. The
delegation was by far larger than
was first expected as it was thought
by some of the leaders that the fl
nancial strength would affect the at
tendance largely. This city extend
ed a warm welcome throughout the
session to those who took advantage
of the opportunity to come up to
the top of the mountain in Middle

the educational institutions under
the auspices of the church were here
throughout the week. The presi-
dent of Walden University was no
