In every household, no matter how
economical the housewife, there is a
certain amount of table scraps and
kitchen waste which has feeding value,
but which, if not fed, finds its way
into the garbage pail.
Poultry Is the only class Of domes-
tic animals suitable for converting
this waste material, right where 1t Is
produced in the city, into wholesome
and nutritious food in the form OF
eggs and poultry meat.

New YOrk.-The- new currency Sys-

in the near future will make cons1d-
erable difference to the foreign banks,
mostly British, which have had con-
troll of the money circulated In the

Chinese government was the cash,

Mexican dollar.
The system of exchange and COM

were able to pay their stockholders
from 40 to so per cent, with occasional
handsome bonuses, was very simple.

Most persons have wondered at

NOW FOR A PRESIDENTIAL

The state primary being over and

face another ballot-box battle on

This is a year for elections, to be
sure. Everything from president to
county coroner must pass under the
wire on the national race track. 1t
is plainly evident that Governor Cox
has steep pull before him. Of
course, he will get the solid south, as
usual. They fight and scratch down
here in the primaries. but the Demo-
Gratis usually pull together on the
final stretch.
In the November election there will
be an issue that Georgia has settled
IN the prlmary-concerning the
League of Nations. Georgia has de-
cided not to have it in hers. How
other states will deal with it on No
vember is not My an issue, but an
intlammable issue. In thirty-tive
opinion (and that amounts to very
little) American motherhood will not
vote to send their own boys over

ABSENT TREATMENT

a ! claim to heal disease disease by v What What
~ they call absent treatment.
Personally, I belong to the
III | want doctor to feel my pulse
while he keeps his eye on a large
thick, gold watch with a massive
cha1n, and I want to be given large,
cltter pills, and have hot STICKY poul-
tlces put on me; but the absent treat
remedy when applied spiritually and
to the sick places in our souls. I
know, Tor L have tried it and it
works.
The difficulty with US is that we
are too close too our troubles. we
them. We see every little thing ex-
aggerated, distorted, made unbearably
hideous, instead of the trivial affair
it really is.
It's like the closeup in the movies.
You know how that is. For four or
five reels we have been following
the romantic adventures of two young
creatures who have looked like Young
godlings. The man has been an
Apollo, with ambrosial curls and soul
full eyes. and cleaning teeth, and the
grace Of a fawn-a youth who had
but to whistle, and any woman from
sixteen to sixty would get up and
follow him, and small blame to her,
he was that easy on the eyes.
The heroine was the realization of
as reed in the wind, with eyes like
Swallowed pools of light, a complex
ion Of roses and lilies, the very in
carnation of youth and beauty, and
you sighed sigh of mingled envy
and satisfaction as the two melted
into each others arms.
Then came the closeup, and in the
huge, grotesque faces that were flash
ed on the camera, you saw that your
hero had pimples and a mushy mouth,
tell you denoted a criminal tendency,
and that your heroine had pug
nose and coarse skin, and showed no
more intelligence than a block of
wood.
And you went away bit disgrunt-
led, your illusions sha tered by your
being too near the objects of your
admiration.
That's what makes the absent
treatment the great cure-all for
the sovereign remedy for divorce, for
the reason that most husbands and
wives quarrel, not because they
have ceased to love each other, but
because they are fed up on each
other. They have lost the perspective
on their romance and only get the
closeup.
If every time a wife began to, feel
peeved with everything her husband
did. and to wonder what she ever
could have seen in him to make her
marry him, she would try the absent
cure on him for only a couple Of
weeks, she would find that It would
save the situation and keep the gilt
on the gingerbread of matrimony.
In reality, every woman knows
this from her own experience. She
knows that when she starts forth
on her summer vacation, the man
she leaves standing on the platform
looks like a pretty poor fish to her.
She observes his every defect-that
he slouches as he walks, that he's

How much time and thought do
you put on your children's lunch
basket?
children have such appetites that
they will eat anything" is remark
often heard They may have good
appetites now, but if school children
are allowed to eat the wrong things,
the time may come when they can't
eat the right things.
Growing children have certain spe-
cial needs in the way of food. Like
grown people, they must be supplied
with that which is necessary, Tor
health and strength, but, unlike tneIl,
they should be given also that Whlch
is necessary for development.
Even one hot dish obtainable at
school at noon makes the lunch more
appetizing, and many schools are now
providing it. When a child must
school a hot dish, the task of filling
the box or basket demands great care
to make sure that it is appetizing,
nourishing and sustaining.

a hot lunch is a bottle which Will
keep liquids hot or cold for some
time. Cocoa or soup piping hot on
a cold day will make feast out OF
an otherwise uninteresting lunch.
Five Groups of Food Needed
In general, the school lunch, like
the child's diet as a whole, should
contain representatives of the five
food groups. In it should be found
foods rich in protein, such as milk,
cheese, meats, fish, dried beans, peas,
peanuts and other nuts: cereal or
starchy foods, such as bread, cereal
mushes, rice, and tapioca; fatty
foods, such as butter, cream. salad

and other dried fruits.
Some Suggested Basket Lunches
Here are some recommended COM
