A LETTER FROM GREECE

Prof c. G.. Hopkins, formerly of
Brookings and State College, in a let
ter to his home folks at Estelline tells
the following interesting account of
his life in Greece, where he is Red
Cross commissioner.
Athens, Greece. May II.
Dear Folks-We are back in Athens
after our trip to Tripolis and Sparta.
From Tripolis we code 40 miles in
a hack over the mountain roads to old
Sparta. returning over the same
route by an all nights ride. with a
stop of about two hours toward mid

DAMNING THE MIDDlEMAN

Chicago Tribune-It has grown to
be the fashion to complain of the mid
dleman as a profiteer or extortionist.
But few of us stop to think what the
middleman does to make life more
comfortable for us. how many steps
he saves US, how many irksome chores
he takes off our hands, how much
time he economies for us, how many
luxuries which we have come to re-
gard as necessities he provides for us.
A writer in the Voice of the Peo-
pie makes some sensible and timely
comment on this subject. He points
out how we demand delicacies and

have it too fat nor make it with
scorched fat.
Young children may be given the
young and tender parts Of celery and
lettuce, a satisfactory way of serving
them being in the form of sandwiches
For this purpose salt slightly and chop
or cut the celery into small pieces.
Wash all vegetables with great care,
whether served raw or cooked. Scrub
large vegetables, such as potatoes and
carrots, with a brush. Greens should
be washed leaf by leaf under running
until free from grit and visible dirt.
In the latter case any sand which
clings to them is likely to sink To
prevent it from again getting on the
vegetables lift them from the water
instead of pouring the water Off
Serve most vegetables when cooked
as a separate dish, either steamed,
boiled, baked or stewed. If the sup
ply of fresh vegetables is not gen.
erous, use with them the juice in
which they are cooked, as far as pos
sible, or put it into soups or stews.
Experience has shown that vegeta-
bles, particularly green vegetables,
are at their best when cooked until
tender, but not until completely
wilted. Spinach requires from 20 to
80 minutes cooking
Vegetables may be served either
quite simply seasoned with salt or
with little milk, cream, or butter, to
improve or vary the flavor. Oil may
be used to dress green's instead of
butter. These simple methods are bet
ter for children than complicated ones
smallest children, chop finely such
vegetables as greens, and If the
tougher portions of other vegetables,
such as the skins of green peas, are
found to disagree with child, re-
move them by putting the cooked veg
etable through a sieve. Do not give
small children such vegetables as raw
radishes or cucumbers, which might
easily be swallowed in large pieces
and not digest well.
Fruits are also very important in
the child's diet. They supply mild
acids, and they are important for their
flavor, for their laxative effects, and
no doubt for other reasons. This lax
ative effect is well recognized in the
very general use of prunes, orange
juice, and apples. Fruits, like the
vegetables, have mineral elements
which the body requires. Serve fruits
in some form at least once day. In
general, follow the same rule as FOR
vegetables in deciding in what form
they should be served
Fruit juices and the pulp of cooked
fruit, baked apples and pears, and
stewed prunes, for example, are safest
for children. Whether the skins are
given depends partly on the age and
health of the child and partly on the
way the fruit is prepared. If the skins
are very tender they are not likely 10
cause trouble, except with very young
children. When apples and pears are
baked the skins can be made tender
by frequent basting.

ers and how we demand the choicest
parts of meat and the very best veg
etables and fruit Most of us use
the telephone for ordering and demand
prompt deliveries at our doors. We
cultivate neighborhood stores, regard
less of lower prices obtainable at
large stores farther away Milk, which
cannot be produced in city factory,
but out in the country miles away,
and which cannot be stored, we have
delivered promptly, in sanitary con-
dition. by the milkman, who gets out
of bed at midnight Sc we may have
| fresh milk and cream for breakfast.
| All of this is complex machinery,
employing millions of capital and the
service of hundreds of thousands of
men and women. We press the but
ton 1t works wonders for us. De-
stroy ii and we should be compelled
to make our lives over Without its
service we should be back on a from
tier, living primitive lives in which
we should go without a very large
part of what we now enjoy, our COM
forts and pleasures, and what we may
fairly call even necessities of the daily
I life we live.
This middleman service is not mere
ly for the rich or we'll to do. 1t is
even more important to the vast ma
jority of us of small means, salaried
workers and wage earners, those of
us who dwell in fats and cottages.
We may find it harder to pay the mid
dleman's charges, because we have
less to pay with, but the comforts, con-
veniences and necessities, such as
| fresh milk he brings us, are even more
| important in our lives. The rich can
organize their own machinery of COM
fort and convenience, as they did in
the middle ages, before cities were
built by the burghers or middle class
But we of the great majority in cities
and in the country, unless we are will
ing to give up very large part of
what makes life freer and pleasanter
than it was for the masses Of men
in former times, must sustain the mid
die man and pay him reasonably for
what he does for us. We have come
to take him for granted, but if we
want what he does for us-and we
all do, whether we are rich or poor,
city folk or country folk-we must
pay for what we get.
This is not written in extenuaton
of exorbitant charges or artificial
methods of price manipulation. Prob
ably we do not protect ourselves as
we might by proper regulation or SUI
pervisory agencies. Certainly our
occasional and spasmOdic attempts at
investigation and control bring no sub
stantial or permanent changes and
do a good deal of injustice along with
such temporary good as they may ac-
