LUxuRIEs oR NECESSITIES


 There is no household allowance so liberal that the house wife does not have to debate often as to what the family really needs and what may be consid- cred as unnecessary. This problem is even more difficult when table expenses must be kept down ''as low as possible ' How familiar that term is and yet how hard it is to meet the problem
 Every. housewife today has some smat- tering of domestic science, if not learned at school, acquired by tradition. handed down from mother to daughter, as is generally the case in foreign families We need a certain amount of fat, a certain proportion of sugar and starch foods, and fresh, green vegetables for their bulk and mineral properties A well-balanced and therefore economical meal does not serve too large a pro portion of fat, or starch, and yet in- cluees sufficient fresh greens and fruit juices.
 Good food is cheaper than docter's bills or stomach troubles that reduce the working force of the family. When the sy stem demands certain foods for health such foods are removed from the class of luxuries to necessities.
 The body needs a certain amount of fat, but it is not necessary that this fat should be always in the form of high in nourishing form that can be taken even by young children: it is certainly ar extravagance to eat butter with a Neal that includes bacon.
 The question of what should he eaten on bread is much a question of tradition and habit The French child for his afternoon lunch has lump of sweetened

FAMILY BREAD BOX
 CONVERTED IN TO
 BOX FOR BALLOTS

bread box has been used for many of dry duration-in fact, many times to contain cold bottles and upon various occasions the police officers have founc in it's innards bottles containing real, red "likker," and the breadwinner around the premises generally got into trouble But here IS new use for an ordinary bread box.
 Recently the citizens of Broyles de- cided to hold an election to ascertain whether they would incorporate the village into town or not; they go' everything ready, so they thought, and the morning of the election came and as voters filed into the drug store to cast their ballots they were informed that there was no ballot b9f to receive their ballots
 Mrs. HE. Pearce, postmistress of that village and business woman of Birming- ham, as we'll as a prominent member or the suffrage association came to the rescue. She went home, got down the old family bread box, punched hole in the top large enough to receive the pa.- lots, put lock on the hasp that was at : tached to the side, took IL ooWn to tiie drug store, and the trick was turned
 That's how Boyles became an 1ncorpor- ated town.
 Now Boyles is going to elect a mayor and city council and marshall and al such. just like regular towns always have. and it's safe bet that some fam fly man who wants to win, and believes fin catering to the breadwinners for real votes. will insist upon having that same bread box as the lucky receptacle for the votes that will be cast.

LAPS WOULD BUY
 MILLION ACRES IN
 LOWER CALIFORNIA
Government Informs Own CTS of Attitude Toward Sale, Which Might Be
 Made Military Base
By Associated Pres,

Washington, March 21.-As a result of receiving telegrams from Senator Phelan of California giving information of a proposal by Japanese interests to acquire large tract of land in Lower Caiifor- mia owned by Americans, the state de- partment has called the attention of the owning corporation, the California-Mexi- co Land company, of Los Angeles, to the attitude of the United States government toward such sales of property which might be used for military or naval pur- poses.
 It was said at the department today that the land in question was reported to . comprise nearly a million arces. The use to which the prospective purchasers pro- pose to put it is not known here.
 Documents indicating the attitude of the government to which the department called the Los Angeles companys atten- ton included the Lodge resolution in the Sixty-second Congress and message by President Taft, both in the year 1912, and which were inspired by project by Japanese fishing interests to establish a base on Magdalena bay.
 The Lodge resolution declares that the sales of property by Americans to any nation which might use the site as a base to threaten the United States could not be seen without grave concern by the government of the United States.
 The message of President Taft trans mitted report by Secretary Knox in response to Senate resolution, and con- veyed correspondence between the office of the Secretary of State and a New York lawyer who represented Japanese sym dicate which sought to purchase land at MagdaIena bay.

 There has been strong prejudice among housewives towards oleomarga- rine' due probably to the fact that for sCme years interruptions dealers labeled 1t and sold it as butter. People are be- ginning to understand now that oleomar- garine has a certain definite place in the cuisine. It is excellent for cake short ening. For all purposes of nutriment olecmargarine is the same as butter; it has exactly the same balance of fats. and many people have come to like it as we'll as butter for table purposes. As tion of doubt; it comes down, therefore. simply to question of taste and habit. Butter Is not always a necessity.

They are great pre- ventative of uric acid for the reason that the process of digestion turns fruit acids alkaline and therefore reduces the amount of acid in the blood Lemon juice has direct action on the liver, valua ble at times. but it provides no nutr;ment unless sugar is added.

 New Orleans, March 2.-Moderate ad- vances prevailed during the greater part of the session in cotton today. but in the afternoon the tendency was to sag under the bearish weekend statistics Reports of a better spot demand were the main supporting influences although some buying was done on predictions or more rain in Texas Old contracts were stronger than the new standing at their best 34 to A points over yesterday S close. At the highest the new contracts were 2s to 36 points over yesterdays close. Late in the day the market stood at a net advance of only about 10 points on both old and new contracts.
 Spot people say that the demand for the last few days has been mainly for the lower grades and this claim was con- firmed in todays revision which narrowed differences on the two lowest grades ten derable on old contracts by 50 points. In other words, good ordinary and strict good ordinary were unchanged wnlie grades above were lowered 50 points Ihe discount on good ordinary in this market is now 1000 points as compared with an average discount for the 10 designated spot markets of about 1050 points.
 The easy tone late in the day. was due mainly to the small mill takings for the week only 10s. GOO bales against 20o,0o0 this week last year and 2O5,0o0 this week two years ago. Much depends on the spot developments of the near future. Notice was given today that both the New Or leans and the New York cotton markets will be closed next Tuesday.
 The market closed at net rise of 10 to 14 points on the old contocts and net rise of 10 to 13 points on the new.- Shepard & Gluck.
