Today as I was struggling with my
dinner menu. trying to feed my family
the proper amount of proteids and
carbohydrates and fats. to keep them
healthy, and at the same time not
spend too much money. 1 realized the
necessity Of some knowledge of food
values.
In this day of substitutes for meats
and sugars, made necessary by the
high cost Of living, 1t is almost i'm
possible to serve daily the ordinary
meal of meat and potatoes with an
extra vegetable and pie, the total
of which is a well balanced diet. But
unless one knows something of the
composition of foods, 1t is rather diff
fcult to find substitute combinations
that will have the prope amount of
nourishment.
If dishes containing a large proper
ton of carbohydrates, sta~ches and
sugars are served day after day. you
| will find your family growing fat and
flabby. In an effort to do without
meat at a dinner I seemed for a while
TO run to heavy starchy foods. How
ever, l finally worked out the follow
ing arrangement:
Menu for Tomorrow
Breakfast
Cantaloupe, oatmeal with top milk
coffee.
Luncheon
Dreamed dried beef on toast; apple,
celery and nut salad, ginger bread,
tea.
Dinner.
Tomato soup, cheese fondue, fresh
| fried potatoes, brown bread and but
| ter, cabbage salad, peach pudding,
coffee.
My Own Recipes.
Every day L am glad hat | had
| sense enough to take a domestic sci
ence course when I was at the state
university. Cook books are every wom-
! ans good friends and ] own a fair
number of them, but in these days OF
high prices the cost of "cupfuls' OF
cream or ''one-half dozen eggs are
beyond my p~ocketbook. SO I make
use of my knowledge of cooking chem
istry to formulate my own recipes
and keep down my grocery bills.

MALES DO NOT BITE
It's The Female Mosquito That Does
 The Damage.

MT. Mosquito does not bite; his bill is so blunt that he could not be a bloodsucker if he wished. It is Mrs. Mosquito who does all the deadly work of fever propag gation. She is most active around dawn and after sunset She avoids strong light and prefers dark colors. She is essentail- ly domestic creature, staying around houses by preference, says the Scien- tific American
 In the autumn the males die, and the females seek winter quarters They hibernate in dark corners of cellar and garret, and on the first warm day of spring, are out laying their eggs. Save when extended by the arrival of this hibernating period. the life of the fe male is one or two months; the male, on the other hand lives but few days The food of the mosquito is the juice and nectar of plants. and, of course, blood-should not necessarily that of man, animals, reptiles and even cater pillars are bitten with the same free dom.
 The female mosquito lays from 30 to 100 eggs at time, and on any quiet bit of water. In about three days they hatch, and though at first the lava is very small, it grows rapidly and attains full development in a few days. We have then the familiar wrigglers of the old-time rain barrel and uncovered cistern.
 During the larval stage. which lasts from seven to IA days, the malarial variety Can be distinguished from all othersl by the curiosly inclined, by virtue " the fact that it lies with it's body parallel to the surface of the water, While the other species hang with tn Cir heads downward.

 Buying Newspapers.

Washington, July 6.-Reported at ,en,u,s by the Mexican government to purchase the support of the American newspapers for spreading Mexican propaganda. in connection with a re- cent defense of Mexican policy to- wards American oil operators, issued by Gen Candido Aguilar, son-in-1aw of President Carranza, have been call- ed to the attention of the State De- partment, and the situation is being watched by officials here. The Mon tercy (Mex) organ of the Carranza administration, first to call public at tention to it, said, in discussing the advisability of a propaganda cam paign in the United States.
 6dfachSneeirory should know all the details of this Brave question. should sound all opinions and direct an active press campaign in the Unit ed States. this last is of the utmost importance, Not one thousand or one hundred thousand, but million pesos, if it necessary, should be spent in purchasing Yankee newspapers (there are those who vii, not refuse the business), so that theN i'll defend .x.
 us and in substituting writers of some prestige who will translate the argu- ments which our own chancellory will give them. It is necessary to prepare ainssthe very bosom of the opinion in our favor, taking advantage in order to do this, of the political division be- tween Democrats and Republicans.
 General Aguilar, just before he sail ed for Europe, said that "the only order issued has been that the Mex ican law be enforced"
 It was pointed out that General Aguilar must have referred to Article 27 of the Mexican constitution and the decrees of President Carranza to make effective that law In official circles it was said this law declared:
 ''In the nation is vested legal own .ership of petroleum" and "only Mexicans by birth or naturalization have the right to acquire ownership in lands, or to obtain franchises to develop mineral fuels in the republic of Mexico"

sTHE AsHD0WN BARBECUE

1 Written by G. E. Scott, Foreman) Upon the Fourth of July. 1919, Nothing else my folks would do, But go to Ashdown T6 the big barbecue. So to Ashdown we went, It did not take very long,
 Until we found ourselves in the midst of large throng. As large crowd of people,
 You hardly ever see, And they furnished plenty
 Of ice water free.
 We went to the ball ground,
 The ball game for to see,
 From there we went to dinner, Which was also free.
 We saw many people,
 Some of much renown,
 Meats and fine things piled upon A table for fifty yards around. There were fat people, lean people, And people very short, Tall people, low people, And people of many sort. We thought when we begin to eat, We'd eat everything in sight, But To and behold we all ate Till we lost our appetite. We thought after eating all we could, We'd rest awhile in the shade, Eat ice cream and drink Soda pop and lemonade,
 As this was the first time, My folks was on that ground, I thought I'd take and
 Show them through AshdOWn. So we walked through the town, East, west. north and south,
 We saw the court house,
 And jail upon our rout.
 Through the streets of Ashdown, There crowded many cars,
 And we saw negro,
 Tn jail behind the bars. We were homeward bound,
 We had all we could drink and eat,
 But when aboard the crowded train, We could not get a seat.
 We sure did have a nice time,
 At the barbecue at Ashdown, We hope some day to have one, So they can visit our town.

ACQUISITION OF REVENUE
 IS NOW FOR DISCUSSION
Many Vexing Problems Are Facing Towns and Cities of Arkansas on
 That Question Today.
(By Clio Harper)

change in many Arkansas cities on the question of revenue. There is a nat ural and universal opposition to the payment of taxes, dating back to the time when the Roman tax-gatherers were the most unpopular officials in the provinces conquered by the Cae- sars
 But sometimes community is con fronted by conditions that must be ct even in violation Of cherished tra- dition, established prejudice, or the antagonis of minority This is true of Arkansas municipalities. For many years they, especially the larger cities, were dependant upon the revenues from an illegitimate business, which has since been outlawed in the whole nation. Now, it is inevitable that another source of revenue must be found from some legitimate business. The honor of the people should not be from saloons and the kindred evils of
 
 In Little Rock, for instance, the city, although deprived of revenue the red-light district, which amounted to considerable in the course of a year, has more than doubled in popu> lation in the last ten years, and the consequent demands for increased revenue must be met in some way that will be in keeping with the new standards ol civic morality.
 The occupation, or privilege tax seemed to be the most available solu- ton, but when this was suggested a few years ago it met with violent op- position. It has been defeated once in Little Rock, but the people are be- ginning to realize that they must ac- cept this or resort to something worse The last legislature passed an act permitting city councils to levy a privilege tax, with clause providing for d referendum upon the petition of ! 15 per cent of the qualified electors. Fayetteville, Fort Smith and Hot | Springs are among the cities that have ] already taken advantage of the new 1 law The Little Rock city council has been working on it for the last two months. It has divided the taxable privileges into three classes. The or dinance assessing tax on merchants, based upon the average stock carried, as passed last week, and two others are to be passed, one comprising the businesses and vacations that offer no | protest, and the third comprising 1 those items that are in controversy.
 While it is impossible to calculate in advance what the new taxes will produce, it has been variously estimat- , ed that it will yield from $150,00O to $2OO O00. This will enable the city to carry on the progressive work started by the Taylor administration, and es- tablish sinking fund that will grad ualy reduce the city's debt of more than $1,1OO,OOO. It is believed and hoped that the people, realizing the dire extremity of the city, will permit the ordinances to stand, and not ops pose them.

PROVED EFFECT OF MICROBES
Experiments Made by French Scientist
Reveal Possibility Of Marvellous
Thlrgs In the Future.

II there were no microbes men
would grow to gigantic stature and
have intellectual powers far In adj
vance of those which they possess at
present. What is NOR, II Is possible.
at least, to live wi hcrt microbes.
Anyway. these are the conciuslons OF
no less an authority than Doctor Roux,
who heads the P;.@;oG- institute In
Paris. They are based upon the re-
suit Of some experiments carried o.
by one Of his pupils, Dr. Michael Co
hendy.
Doctor Cohendy placed some guinea
pigs under glass at the moment of
their birth. The air which they
breathed was thoroughly stcrilized, as
was all the food administered to them,
Unquestionahly many germs were able
to reach them, but every precautton
known to science and possible with
the application of one Of the com
pletest laboratories in the world was
exercised to protect them.
The result rather astounded the doc
ior. The subjects grew with amazing
rapdity. three or four times as fast
as guinea pigs of the same age sub
Sisting under normal conditions. In
the brief span OF - days they were
for the most part a third larger.
Doctor Roux concludes that man, II
under perfect ontiseptic conditions
from birth, would develop very fur be-
yond what Is possible as things are
Mt present. He even hints that with
If not attained. will be so approx
mated as to materially enhance the
physical welfare and mental vigor OF
