and how much energy our bodies use.
This is where the calOries come In
for we can measure both food energy
and body energy in calories.
Choosing Cheap Fuel.
Body-fuel, like other kinds of fuel,
costs money, and the problem IL to get
the amount needed for the smallest
sum possible, which means choosing
food rather carefully. A man running
a sawmill in the cypress swamps Of
Louisiana or the Michigan woods
would have to pay a lot Of money for
enough anthracite coal to run his
steam engine, but he can take his fuel
from the sawdust heap and the slab
pile and 80 save money.
Much the same situation exists with
regard to the fuel for the human en-
CINE. If our family Of five bought its
12O 100.calorle portions all in sirloin
steak at 50 cents pound, the cost
would be SO day. II 1t bought them
all in white potatoes at $50 bushei'
the cost would be only $40 day.

WEDDINGS, TELE-

Hyndsver, Jan. 12.-Wedding bell
continue to ring in this vicinity, tn
last time for Allen Mann, the indus
trious, honorable son of Mr.. Johr
Mann, and Lula White, daughter OF
MIR. John White. These young PEG.
pie were joined in the bonds of holy
wedlock last Sunday at the home of
Esq. John Halter, the ceremony be-
ing witnessed by several friends of
the young people. Esq. Halter is Of
fering extra inducements to clipping
couples to come his way TO rthe nup-
tial knot. He guarantees red hot
fire, dinner and agrees to kiss the
bride, provided she is pretty. The
young people were given sumptuous
supper Sunday night at the home of
the groom's parents, near Martin.
The Hyndsver Rural Telephone Co..
has just recently reelected Elder
II. E. Barger as operator for the
fourth consecutive year, The COM
pany has ordered new blank lines
built to Ralston, Martin, and Latham.
With these new lines excellent SER
vice will be rendered.
Mrs. Carlos Gatewood arrived
home just in the niche OF time
few days ago to save her home from
destruction by fire. Mrs. Gatewood
had been absent for several hours,
and upon her return found large
hole burned in the carpet and four
big holes burned in the feather bed
and the bedding just ready to burst
into flames. BY her quick work and
presence of mind the fire was extin-
guished with but little damage to the
building.
The infant of Mckinley Leagon,
near Unity was buried Friday, The
child was taken suddenly i'll on We'd
nesday, but died before the arrival
of physician. Owing to the high
waters, burial was deferred until Fri
day. The sorrowing parents have
the sympathy of their friends.

10000 pounds of leaf. Some tobac-

These prices are the best being Of
fered in the county.
Ezell's buyers have not got into
the field up to this time, though Mr..
Ezell is making arrangements to get

BROTHER MAYO breaches
VERY INTERESTING SERMON

Last Sunday Rev. G. T. Mayo
filled the pulpit at the Baptist church
at both hours, giving to his audi
ence two very interesting sermons.
The morning service was taken from
"The building of the temple by Sol

of Bible stories by this speaker is
indeed wonderfully interesting and
holds the man and woman of deep
thought speel-bound. His compari-

SUBSCRIPTION PAY
ABLE IN ADVANCE.

After all that has been said time
and again in these columns on the
subject, it seems that our subscrib-
ers would understand that subscrip-
ton to the Enterprise is payable in
advance. Three years ago this rule
was established and has been adj
hered to, but every once in a while
some subscriber becomes offended
because his paper has been stopped.
We have no way of knowing
whether you wish the paper contin-
ued except renewal for it. That is
the invariable rule--to all alike.
Just recently we have adopted an
original collecting scheme-onc
which is quite expensive to US, but
mighty handy and conveient to the
subscriber, who is notified week or
two in advance that his time is about
to expire. Then, if he does not re-
new by the time it expires his name
is dropped from the list. 1t is too
expensive to continue these notices
after one has been sent.
Paper, labor, material, living ex-
penses-even to shoe strings-are all
advancing and we are forced to
adopt this new rule, which, really,
is the only correct way to conduct
newspaper. We do not want to ap-
pear as trying to force the Enter
prise on single person, and have
made it very convenient for those
who want the Enterprise to re-
new. 4O-2t.

Mr.. Clarence Witherington was on

lively will not have the job unless

WHAT DOES A CAL.
ORE MEAN TO YOU?

"A family consisting OF father,
mother, and three children requires
about hundred and twenty 100
calorie portions for an adequate daily
Diet"
How much would that have meant
to the average housekeeper ten years
ago? She probably could not have
told whether calories were ISLANDS or
canned goods" as Mr.. Dooley said Of
the Philippines. Lately, however, say
the authorities in charge Of this work
In the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, calories have been taken and
written about so much that the house
wife at least has a vague notion that
they are in some way connected with
the value of food to the body and that
the more calories she can provide for
her family, the better it will be nour-
Ished The U. s. Department of Agri-
culture has recently published some ia
bles which make 1t easier for her to
"count the calories" as well as the cost
Of the food she buys. She can use
such tables without knowing anything
more about calories, just as she can
use electric light without understand
ing the kilowatt hours that appear in
the monthly bill; but calories are
neither SO mysterious nor so compli
Gated that she can not easily under
stand what they are.
The word calorie comes from
"calor," a word meaning heated. A
calorie is a unit for measuring guam
titles of heat just as yard is unit
for measuring length or pound for
weight. Roughly, calorie equals the
amount of heat required TO raise the
Of pound of water 4 de-
greeS Fahrenheit.
But this is not the whole story.
What we cali heat and what we call
energy are really different forms Of
the same force. The heat OF the sun,
the strength Of the winds, the warmth
from the fire, the pressure of the ex-
pandIng steam or exploding gas In the
engine, even the flowing of sap In the
plant and the contraction Of the mus
Giles in our bodies-all these are due to
the same universal energy showing IT.
self in different ways. Coal is made
up of substances held together by this
same energy, and so is gasoline or any
other kind of fuel. When the fuel is
burned, the energy is set free in the
form Of heat which in It's turn may be-
come the force that drives the ma
chine, In this last form we call it
mechanical energy and we know that |
equivalent amount of mechanical ener-
gy. Thus our calorie may represent |
either enough heat to raise the tenn
perature Of one pound of water de-
grees f.. or enough mechanical force to
lift one ton about one foot and half.
Now, food is fuel for our bodies and
energy stored in it can be released in
the body and used for keeping it warm
or for the work of the muscles, much |
the way as gasoline is released and
used when the gas is consumed in the
motor The more we exercise our
the more mechanical energy
we release and the more must be pro-
vided by our food fuel. In order to
make sure that we are stocking our
body engine rightly we must be able
to say both how much energy our food
yields (called its fuel or energy value)

HOW TO Use CALORIE TABLES

Other things than body fuel are
necessary IN human food. Not all OF
the necessary fuel may safely be taken
from potatoes nor yet all OF It from
beefsteak. Scientific investigations
have shown that Of the 120 1O0-calOrie
portions necessary for the family OF
five about "a should come from vege-
tables and fruits, SO from milk, eggs
and meat, 80 from cereals and legumeS'
IL from sugar and sugary foods, and
IS from fats and fatty foods. II these,
amounts are used as guide in plan
ming the meals of healthy family.
there is little need to worry about
their getting the right kinds OF guam
titles of foods.
Now a 1O0-calorie portion of some
meats cost good deal more than a
10O-calorie portion of other meats.
This is the case too with vegetables.
and fruits, cereals, fats, and sweets.
The cheapest food per pound is not al
ways the cheapest food per 1OOAcalOrte
portions, In this day Of high prices,
the housewife is interested In know.
ing what foods that will adequately
feed the family can be bought cheapest
figured on sustenance basis rather
than on a pound or pint basis. And
that is what the tables prepared by the
Department of Agriculture do for her.
BY using the tables, she can de-
termine the price of 100-calorie por-
ton of a particular food All she has
to do is to insert the price per pound
or bushel at the proper place in the
third column and divide it by the cor
