SIMMER LEAVES TEAM
By PAUL PREP

LNNSIGN r. IT. DE FRAN, of the
~ Fourth Naval District, was all
smiles today. For two weeks he has
been endeavoring to arrange a basket
ball contest between his star Supply
Department five and Frank Poth's naval
training school quintet of League Island
to settle the championship OF the Fourth
Naval District.
But something always stepped in and
grabbed the completion OF the act, and
the Supply Department players were
despairing of ever meeting Poth's team
for the championship. But all barriers
were swept aside this morning and ar
rangements were made to have the game
played Monday evening, February II,
at the League Island Y. NJ. c. A.
Have Fine Records
| The Supply Department five and the
Naval Training quintet are two of the
best service teams in the East and the
winner will have a rightful CLAIM on
the naval championship of this district.
They have played and defeated the best
around here and close game is looked
for.
On Saturday evening the Supply team
defeated the Pusey and Jones combina-
ton. of the Delaware Shipyard league
by the score Of 1896. The Naval Train
ing teams last game was with st. Co
lumba, of the American League, the
Saints winning. The score was 31-26
With three minutes to go the teams were
even at 26 points.
Simmer Receives Discharge
Frank Poth was given quite set
back on Saturday when mick" Sim.
mer, his star forward. announced that
he had received his discharge from the
service. Simmer left town on Sunday
for his home in Park River, North Da,
kota. Before leaving Simmer said he
was going to be married as soon as hS
landed in Park River.
Simmer is a former University Of
North Dakota star. He played half
back on by" Dickson's League island
football team this fall. Simmer has beer
; the leading light for Poth's team al
year and his absence will be felt. Poth
however, is fully capable of developing
another TO fill the forward position.

Yours Truly Soft

The 3o-17 victory of Midvale over
Yours Truly was an easy one In the
first five minutes of play the Steel Work

never in doubt. Then for a long time
there was no scoring whatever, but to-

trio had field night and dropped them
in from all angles. They amassed a

FINE OLD ENGLISH DWELLlNi
Stokesay Castle, Dating From 1891,
Has Many Unusual Attractions
for the Tourist.

StOkesay castle, which dates back to
1901. Is probably one Of the finest Of
all Englands old dwellings. Alrhnu..l
called a castle, this ancient dwelling Is
really 4 fortified manor. and all Of Its
ancient characteristics have been
maintained through the last 500 years.
The great hall, which is over SO
feet long and 80 feet Wide. is easily
the most striking feature Of the old
manor house. The windows of the
castle are all large. and the hall was
thus made much more pleasant place
to live In than the majority Of houses
built In England at that time.
During the thirteenth century the
builders 6rSt began to make English
dwelling houses pleasant to live in.
instead Of mere places Of shelter or
dsfenBs. Windows Of the kings houses
were ordered to be glazed, outside
doors to have protecting porches. fre-
places to be built, and numerous other
household additions made. In some
places the windows were filled with
painted glass and the walls decorated
with rare paintings.

CHURCH NOTES

The church services at Raymer
Sunday evening will be planned in
harmony with the Red Cross drive
of the following week. The sermon

occasion, and special music is being

Red Cross members and discharged

Is America christian nation?
The question could be more clearly

some respects. The work of the

activity ofNbur nation.

ADUTERATION
BY c. w. Nonier

NEWS NOTE: Manufacturers Of in
sect rowder are adulterating their goods
with powdered daisy flowers, the depart
ment of agriculture has found.
They aduterate our yictuals, they
adulterate our news, they adulterate
the leather that they build into our
shoes. They adulterate our clothing
and the milk the baby drinks, to men
tion just couple OF the profiteering
kinks. And when we try to fight the
bugs that feed upon our crops, we
find there isn't any place where prof
iteering stops; for while they DOCTOR
ed everything from matted milk to
glue, they practiced substitution on
our insect powder too. There's not
an unadulterated thing, 1t seems to
MS, at all, except perhaps the fat
boys unadulterated gall.

TASTE CAUSES US
BAD BREAKFAST

+ While we are looking into the
reasons for the present high cost of
living ii is well to regard the ex-
tensiye use of the prepared break
fast foods.
The cost OF manufacture of grains
into the various prepared breakfast
foods increase the cost enormously,
adAng practically nothing to the
food value pound for pound.
When we buy polished rice at Is
cents pound we obtain only 0 less
ealories of food value than when we
pay go cents a pound for pnffed rice.
II we use cornmeal at I cents a
pound instead of corn flakes at 25
or 80 cents pound We gain so cal
cries and save / s to 23 cents.
Farina and shredded wheat each
cost about l " cents per serving
while puifed wheat cost cents and
the Farina has exactly three times
as much and the shredded wheat
twice as much nutritive value.
OF the preparation requiring
cooking, corn products are the
cheapest, followed by oats, with
wheat the most expensive. The
specially prepared foods cost from
three to six times as much per cound
as the simple cereal preparations.
Judged on basis Of composition and
cost oatmeal is by far the cheapest
OF all breakfast cereals.
OF course while we pay more for
prepared than for uncooked foods,
the price is partially justified by
convenience and by saving of time
and fuel in cooking period.
The question however, still is
how far are. we justified in these
times in catering to our over devel-
oped tastes Marjorie Shut, Colo

this reptile. which b rather pretty. is
given such sinister names as fiat-head
