Mr.. c. B. Loats, writing from his
home at Lay, Nd, says, Il had been
taking medicine from four specialists,
but believe me, friends, one box OF
eatonic has dono me more good than
all the remedies I have ever tried.
I was in awfully bad shape. About
half an hour before meals, I got nerv-

bad I could hardly walk or talk. One
box Of eatonic stopped it."
Eatonic quickly produces these tru-
" marvellous results. because it takes
UP the poisons and gases and car

OF course. when the cause is removed,
the sufferer gets well.
Everyone that wants better health Is
told to have just a little enough
to try one box Of eatonic from your
own druggist. The cost is a trife,
which he will hand back to you If you
are not pleased. Why should you suf-

When the various kinds Of greens

HOUSEWIFE OF TODAY
KEEPSF0OD ACCOUNT
She is Checking Up Weights and
Measures of Products.
Decreased Buying Power Of Dollar
Makes Her Think and Avoid All
Kinds Of Waste-Lessens Prices
in Many Ways.

The modern housewife is becoming
expert in buying. She is reading the
labels, in accordance with the sugges-
ton made BY the United States de-
partment Of agriculture, and checking
up the weights and measures Of the
food products she buys. She has
learned when to buy in quantity and
when in small amount, and when It is
more economical to buy in bulk than in
package. Many have compared the
cost Of making bread at home and of
buying it and are choosing the way
that is best for them.
The lessened buying power Of the
dollar has made her think and avoid
all kinds Of waste. The family must
be kept well nourished, but the wife
and mother should not provide more
food than is needed. She must know
what kind Of food will fill her market
basket to the best advantage. Along
with this knowledge is that Of how
much Of the family food should come
from each food group and how far it
is wise to save money by using more
food from the less expensive groups.
The housewife Of today is keeping a
food account and checks up her weekly
buying by the plan she has made.
II she wishes to try to lessen prices
for everybody here are some Of the
ways she is going at it: By producing
food at home; by using local products;
by choosing food that is plentiful in
the markets; by lessening her use Of
such foods as are scarce; by co-opera-
tive buying; and by using the parcel
post.

An investigation which promises

durability has been undertaken by the
bureau Of public roads, United States

includes taking samples Of soil at

ditions to determine how moisture ar
rived in the subgrade, thus destroy
ing It's value; making laboratory
tests to determine the physical char

Of soils. In this investigation it is pro-
posed to obtain as much cooperation
as possible from the various state
highway departments. The bureau OF
soils is cooperating with the bureau

Preliminary Investigation has been
started in Maryland on the Washing

tended beyond Baltimore and on other
roads in Maryland. Progress has been
made in the matter of laboratory tests,

material and other samples already
having been examined.
The federal highway engineers point
out that soils differ widely in their

when they are wet. Just why this Is
true and just what are the character
istics which make them different is

CLUB GIRLS TAUGHT
TO PREPARE SUPPER
Each Member Is Assigned Certain
Part Of the Meal.
Constructive Criticism Found to Be
Valuable in Making Each Repast
Little Bit Better Than the
Preceding One.

To make sure that the girls in the
home-making clubs, supervised by the
United States department Of agricul-
ture and the Connecticut State Agri-
cultural college, are able to put to
practical use what they have learned
in the clubs about buying. cooking and
serving food, their leaders have organ
lied supper clubs"
These clubs meet twice a month al
the local leaders home. At the first
meeting Of the month a well-balanced
meal is planned with the help of the
leader. Each girl is assigned a certain
part of the meal, for which she is re-
sponsible.
At the second meeting she brings the
material and prepares, cooks and
serves her part ct the supper. Adults
are asked to these suppers, and the in
vitations are highly priced. The usual
menu consists Of meat, potatoes, one
vegetable, hot bread, sometimes salad,
dessert, and hot drink. So far the
average cost per person served has
been "a to 26 cents.
After the meal the club girls meet
in group and discuss and criticize
the vayious articles on the menu and
the serving. This constructive criti-
cism has been found to be very valu-
able in making each supper little
better in every way than the preceding
one.

Variety in breads is more important

HOW TO CHECK ACCOUNTS.

When checks come back from the
bank a good way to straighen out ac-
counts for the month is to paste the
checks back OF the stubs. The return
check is in itself a receipt and takes
care Of that part Of the business. The
large checkbooks having three stubs
on page are little easier to handle
than the small books. A rubber band
snapped around the returned checks
keeps them from the blank part Of
the book and causes no Inconvenience.
