Judge Rucker says he opposed
the promotion of Gen. Crowder
to the rank of Lieut.. General,
to be retired with that rank and
pay because he thinks those who
were abroad and actually in the
combat should be taken care of
pecunia-ily first. The judge is
not averse to the promotion if it
be conferred without the salary
raise attached.

Classification of Foods

One of the most essential stud
les in Vocational Home Econom-
les, is that of foods. 1t is nec-
essary first to get a thoro know
ledge of the kinds of foods, then
to get the relation of these var
ious foods to the body.
There are five classes of foods,
namely; Carbohydrates, Fats,
Protein, Mineral Matter and
Water. Sugar and Starch are
carbohydrate foods, and are
found in fruits, vegetables and
grains. This group gives ener-
gy to the body, but builds fat
when a surplus is eaten.
Fats are the heat and flesh
producing group and are taken
from three general sources, ami
mails, vegetables and nuts.
The protein classification is
very important for it is most
misused as a human food. In
consists of meat, eggs, milk, and
corn. beans, peas, legumes, and
nuts. Protein foods build mus
cles and do not give energy, as
is commonly supposed.
But what our diet is most def
cient in, is undoubtedly mineral
matter. There are certain foods
valuable for a particular mineral
matter of indispensable service
to the body. All green leafed
foods, fruits, red meats, eggs
and especially milk are safely re-
lied on for mineral substance.
The most important minerals are
iron, calcium, sodium, chlorine,
phosphorus, potassium and mag
nesium.
Water demands a far more i'm
portant place in our diet than it
is accorded, eight glasses per day
is the minimum requirement and
this amount is scarcely adequate
to furnish the large demand made
by the many needs Of the body.
These five classifcations will
be taken up separately and given
fuller discussion in sequence in
this manner. Teacher.

Unwarranted Extravaganza

There was never such a pres.
sure for money in the history OF
the world. Agitations to raise

throphic organizations follow on

whether one is able to give or

giving goes the buck. 4" 1t is
passed in increased margins to
the next fellow and on to the
next and next ad infinitum- COM
paratively few are really giving,
and the sum total is piled daily
on to living cost, which continue
to mount at a terrifying rate.
We talk of thrift, but are seized
with a delirim of spending a

in human annals. Yet we are in

our national income mortgaged

have reached the limit in taxa.

ment faces bankruptcy and yet
we go merrily on. One wonders
often where the money comes
from, and shrinks from conjec-

when the final liquidation in &C
tual dollars, worth a dollar, is
forced. That the huge bubble
we are so recklessly blowing
must burst soon or late is as
near a dead certainty as that

when it does the only secure
