What Shall We Haze
for Dinner?

Sometimes-let's admit tive gel
SO tired of wondering what to have
for dinner. We get especially tired
during the first warm spell, when
everyone's appetite is a bit jaded, and
, the busy tired housewives is equally
jaded, only her job is to go ahead and
forget herself to keep her family well
and happy.
She knows health-is so important
and she does want to do the best
possible for her John and the chill
dren; but she doesn't have time to
keep up with the new. food ideas (at
least she thinks she hasn't) and all
she can possibly manage is to keep
the bills down somewhere near the
amount they used to be and learn
how to use the new flours. s.
What Every Dinner Ought to Include,
Because dinner b the main meal
ia the home Of most city dwellcrs,
that meal should be planned with es-
peciai care. Many people get half
the food value of the day in the one
meal. If it does not contain the right
things that make for health, it is a
serious matter Any dinner, no mat
ter how simple, should contain one
dish that is mainly bodybuilding.
The bodybuilding foods include
meat, eggs, fish, milk, cheese, dried
peas and beans Any dinner should
contain also some, body-regulating
food, such, as fruits or green vege-
tables. Fortunately the season is ap-
proaching when fruits and vegetables
are the regular rule on every dinner
table.
IN recent years, nutrition experts
are telling US that we require some
raw foods in the diet. This raw food
may be fruit or vegetable; and while
cooked fruits and vegetables will
answer the purpose of body-regulat-
ing, only the uncooked will satisfy
this very important and little under
stood need. Uncooked milk will
answer this same need.
What We Want Dinner to Include.
No matter how scientific" a din
ner may be, unless we like it, it will
not satisfy our needs in the highest
degree. But it Is equally true that we
do not need to- indulge our food likes
and dislikes to the extent that most
There is a great deal in mental atti-
tude toward food. A few things,
however, will always add to The en-
ioyment of a meal. Dinners should
present variety from day to day, and
variety within the meal. Any careful
housewife will have the outline (per-
haps the details also) of her menus
planned ahead of time, and then she
does not "happen" to have the same
foods two days in succession or even
day apart.
Variety within the meal means no
repetition of similar favors or tex
lures. We do not want strawberries
in the fruit salad and strawberries

or smelts at 80 cents a pound, use
whiting at s cents. Instead of hall

at 8 cents pound. Instead of mack

STATES NOTED LAWYERS
DIES IN ASHLAND
Funeral VIII Be This Afternoon In
Woodiawn Cemetery, Conducted
by Rev. DIR. Pitt

The funeral of Hill Carter will be
held this afternoon at $3.50 o'clock
from the home in Ashland. and the
services will be conducted by Rev. r.
Fl. Pitt, at the grave in woodlawn
cemetery. Ashland.
Mr.. Carter died from blood poison
ing at his home. after an illness of
less than two weeks, shortly after mid
night yesterday morning. The funeral
will be simple. in compliance with
the wishes of Mr.. Carter. who, al
though a great lawyer in his day.
shrunk away from plaudits and dis
play.
He was as we'll known. probably,
as any lawyer in the state. AS a con-
stiturionai and constructive barrister,
I he was equal to any and in his long
career as member of the bar he ran
the whole gamut. appearing with
trate and the presiding Judge OF the
supreme court OF the United States.
Mr.. Carter was born in Caroline
county. in 1S4S. and had passed his
allotted time. having served faithfully
and well his family. his friends and
his country. At the age of seventeen
he went to the front for the Confed-
eracy. offering himself for his coun-
try. serving In the Amelia troop OF
cavalry, commanded by Captain
Frank Southall. He saw much service
in those years that tried mems souls.
His orders carried him through the
valley campaign and he displayed
great gallantry in the battle OF Spot
syivania. Three months before the
surrender at Appomattox he was cap
tured by the enemy and detained as a
prisoner at Point Lookout. where he
remained to the close of the war. He
received several slight wounds, but
suffered no serious injury.
Natural Leader.
| AT the close of the war, Mr.. Car
ter his family having moved into the
! county of Hanover, took the law
course at Washington and Lee under
the tutonhip of John W. Broken
brough. He was exceptionally bright
and soon became a leader In his
classes and among bis associates and
friends. He had exceptional oppor-
tunities to study constitutional ques-
tons. the country at that time being
in the midst of one of the greatest
upkeavals and transformations in its
history. and he proffted by devoting
much of hts time to the study OF the
SbSSSeS VA LAG pt'ta0Ht tASH VI that
day.
Mr.. Carter grew with the country,
ard In many respects. perhaps. was
ahead OF his time Early in his career
the people OF his adopted county Sc
le6ted him az their commonwealth
attorney. This was signal honor
for a country lawyer. and a youngster

ever. and he remained SO always.
