Upon this theme she enlarged. "To keep
the homes together during the great draft
of women into industry and to release
women for Red Cross and other patriotic
activities, should be fundamental aim.
To do this we should relieve them of kit
chen cares.
"The saving of individual waste will be
enormous We will establish a central
kitchen in which the food for 500 persons
can be prepared. That kitchen will take
the place of from one TO two hundred prl-
vate kitchens.
1--WE can arrange to deliver to a family
cooked food of the most nourishing quail
ity for what it would pay for the raw
foodstuffs. We can do this by wholesale
buying, by the utmost care in conserva-
ton; for instance, corning our own beef,
making our own soap and our own pre-
serves. We will employ expert dietitians
as cooks, so that the food delivered will
have the highest nutritive value.
1.-THE individual householder saves a
maids service or releases the housewife
for industrial or patriotic service. 1t
saves the fuel and other upkeep of the
kitchen"
Plan Endorsed by Many.
Patiently the preacher of domestic eco
nomics repeated her sermon. Mrs. Her
bert l.. Satterlee became interested Mgr.
NJ. j. Lavelle pronounced the plan good.
Mrs. Charles b. Alexander and Mrs. Loril-

Central Kitchen No. ! of the Ameri-
can Food Service has been established at
2l3 West Seventy ninth street. Dinners
for so cents and luncheons for IS cents
are being served in containers that keep
the food hot or cold as desired for three
hours. Breakfasts for 35 cents are being
arranged to be served when the heated
season has abated. Thousands of house
holders are calling the system blessed
The system Is a vague abstraction to
them. The idea is incarnate in the slow
moving, soft voiced, yet authoritative
Miss Bancroft.
The young woman who was to be health
and food missionary to the East arrived
by way of the State Normal School of
Winona, Mimi, and the Minneapolis
School of Physical Training. She has
written books on physical efficiency She
is a member and was secretary of the
American Physical Educators Association;
member Of the National Educators Asso-
citation, and of the Physical Education
Society of Greater New York.
In the last capacity she made walking
fashionable in Greater New York. She or
gained field hikes and mountain tramps
for the summer. To these may be attrib-
Cted the free stride of tall, rosy girls
down Fifth avenue. 1t may indeed be
said, and truly, that Miss Bancroft's walk
ing clubs have made Greater New York
walk. Certainly she is the inspiration of
much of the female Professionalism in the
metropolis.

the assumption of an attitude expressive
of an emotion tends to produce the emo
ton. Darwin said:
1.-THE free expression by outward signs
of an emotion intensiies it. He who gives
way TO violent gestures will increase his
rage. He who does not control the signs
of fear will experience fear in a greater
degree, and he who remains passive
when overwhelmed by grief loses his best
chance Of recovering elasticity of mind "
These were the premises upon which
were built the health platform and the
subsequent good works of the American
Posture League. With it in some in
stances and independent of it in others,
Miss Bancroft vigorously prosecuted her
work. She invented the triple test Of
standing.
Invents the Triple Test.
We have all heard that we should stand
with the shoulders straight, the chest up,
the chin and abdomen in, In such posture
that were a straight line TO be dropped
as plummet through our crown it would
find its way to the space between our
parted heels. But how 10 know whether
we and others were so standing was the
rub. Miss Bancroft swept away the diff
culties with her invention of the triple
test.
"You can tell whether the posture OF a
person is correct by looking at him from
the side. By looking at him while he is
marching. By exercises one of which is
the long sweep of the arms forward and
upward"
She brought about the devising of
school desk that will not deform, book
rest that will not twist the vision and a
book bag that will not warp the bodies of
the children who carry it. When Mrs.
James Speyer threw open her Fifth ave
nue. home to Miss Bancroft and her prac-
teal propaganda, former Park Commits
siOner Cabot Ward was there to thank the
missionary of health for the gift of model
park benches to the parks of Greater New
York, which he hoped would soon be in
general use.
The Park Commissioner gave his in
dorsement to her emphasis of the relation
of character TO posture. He said that
prospective employer judges an applicant
by his credentials and the way he stands
when he presents them. DR.. Il. TAFT Ne
Kenzie of the University of Pennsylvania,
who had come from Philadelphia to talk
of posture In its relation 10 art, said with

turn Very Slowly to Grippe
Patients.

After an attack Of influenza, doc
tors advise that nature be assisted
in its building-up process by the
use OF a good tonic-one that will
not only put strength and endur-
ance into the body, but will also
help to build up and strengthen the
rundown cells of the brain.
One OF the most highly recon-
mended remedies to put energy in
to both body and brain is Bio-feren
your physician knows the form
ula-it is printed below.
There's iron in Bio-feren-the
kind of iron that makes red blood
corpuscles and creates vigor. There
is lecithin also; probably the best
brain invigorator known to science.
Then there is good old reliable gen.
tian, that brings back your tagging
appetite.
There are other ingredients that
help to promote good health, as
you can see by reading this form
ula, not forgetting kolo, that great
agent that puts the power of en-.
durance into weak people.
Idken altogether B1O-feren Is
splendid active tonic that will
greatly help any weak, rundown
person to regain normal strength,
energy. ambition and endurance.
Bio-feren is sold by all reliable
druggists and is inexpensive. For
weakness after influenza patients
are advised to take two tablets
after each meal and one at bed
time - seven a day, until health,
strength and vigor are fully re-
stored.
1t will not fail to help you and
II for any reason you are dissatis-
fled with results your druggist is
authorized to return your money
upon request-without any red tape
OF any kind.
Note to physicians: There Is no
secret about the formula of Bio
feren. 1t Is printed on every pack
age. Here 1t is: Lecithin; Calcium
ero-phosphate; Iron Peptonate,
Mang anese Peptonate; Ext Nux.

PEOPLES FORUM.
THE FOOD AND FUEL
ADMINISTRATORS
SHOULD GET BUSY

Profteering is hone of the curses
! of this war. The Congress of the
United States has had hard Job to
keep the profiteers from bleeding the
public to death, and with all of their
efforts, these blood suckers have rob
bed our citizens. Local officers in
trusted with this work all over the
Union, are likewise doing some good
service, but they have much yet to do.
Prices of food stuff and fuel are en-
tirely too high in this town and in
every other town. Not only this, but
dry goods, shoes, hardware, farming
implements, and all those things the
average family must have, should be
diligently and seriously looked afte-.
In our neighboring town of Water
Valley, Mr.. Bailey, the officer who
looks after this matter, read the
Riot Act" to the feed men who We're
charging exorbitant prices to the
people, and fixed the prices of what
they should charge. He allowed them
a legitimate profit of about thirty
five cents per sack on feed. They had
been making many times this.
We learn in our town of Oxford,
that one concern here made a profit
of one hundred per cent. or more last
year This is not right. That is too
much profit and the people should be
protected. We believe if the sale of
every commodity was properly look
ed after, the merchants could reap a
reasonable profit and the people
would be protected. We want to see
our merchants prosper. They are
entitled TO a legitimate profit, but
they should not be allowed in war time
especially, to fleece the public. We
desire to hurt no one unnecessarily,
but justice should be done, and we
trust our officials and citizens will
see to this matter at once.-N. \. 4.

The cattle shipment will be last be-

On hog shipping day the weight re-
quirements will be above 100 ibs. and

low this weight viii be shipped next
April.
The corn market IS around 81. .l5 TO
SIPS per bushel, and no farmer in La
fayette County can afford to haul com
to town at these prices, when we have
such high hog markets and better
prospects for a higher spring market
than we have had in years. Good
| hogs will command good prices foi
some time to come and these farmers
who buy corn and feed hogs instead OF
selling corn and marketing hgh'
shoats. will be the ones who make the
greatest profits. For these reasons We
are encouraging the sale of corr
among farmers instead of shipping
lit.
The market for sorghum seed, peas
and peanuts hasn't opened up yet
and don't get in hurry and rusf
these products on the market because
prices are sure to be better as tho
