DEAR ELIZABETH LATTIMER:
Last spring when gathering up things
for the rubbish man, threw in a pair
of red felt bedroom slippers and anr
other of high-top leather shoes. but
later took them out. Tho outer soles
of the slippers were completely gone:
there was even d hole through the in

ors 1 removed the ragged outer soles

piece of cloth over the holes in the in
ner soles, bastng II firmly in place
and made paddings from cotton bat
ting. Then from the uppers of the
old leather shoes I cut outer soles and
sewed them to the slippers with linen
thread. using the overcast stitch. The
finished slippers looked we'll and were
very comfortable. I am wearing them
yet as house shoes.

THERE seems to be littIe indeed
that the housewife can do to
reduce the high cost of foods.
But whether we will or no. we must
admit IL only to ourselves, that
oftentimes food is spoiled after it
comes into the home. In other
words, it is improperly cared for
and this causes spelling.
Yet today. OF all times. every
woman should make proper effort
to care for the food that comes to
the home. Some one has worked
hard to earn that food and a high
price has been paid to obtain it.

have such appetites that they will
eat anything" Is a remark often
heard. They may have good appe-
tites now, but II 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
special needs in the way of foods.
Like grown people. they must be
supplied with that which Is nec9s-
sary for health and strength, but,
unlike them. they should be given
also that which ID necessary for de-
veiopment
Even one hot dish obtainable at
school at noon makes the lunch
more appetizing. and many schools
are now providing IL. When a enid
must carry lunch and cannot obtain
at school q hot dish. the task or NIL
ing the box or basket demands great
care to make sure that II is appetiz-
ing, nourishing and sustaining.
One Of the best Investments TO
make for q child who carries his
lunch to q school that does not serve
a hot lunch is q bottle which will
keep liquids hot or cold for some
time. Cocoa, or soup piping hot on
a cold dly. will make feast out

Five Groups

In general, the school lunch, like
the child's diet as whole, should
contain representatives OF five food
groups. In II should be found foods
rich In protein, such as milk, cheese

Another Democratic Administrations;
What 1t Will Mean for Business
(By Homer 8. Cummings)

a business policeman and prosecu-
tor.
If party with our record for
constructive achievement could not
reasonably count upon the support
of the rank and file of the business
men of the country, would any 9TH
err inference be possible, except that
the business world does not approve
of such policies and such a record?
One Big Help
What has been the attitude of the
Democratic party toward business?
For more than a generation the bust
ness world was hampered by ian
archaic and utterly indefensible
financial system. This system for a
decade or more has been neither
sponsors nor defenders. 1t has been
condemned alike by all political par
ties and by all intelligent and hon
est men. But administration after
administration held power in Wash
ington without being able to put
into the solution Of this problem the
necessary amount of intelligence,
charcter and driving power.
Practically the first thing the
Wilson Administration did was to
set to work to solve this problem.
And while a large majority of bust
ness mon of the country at the time
of the passage of the Federal Re-
serve act did not approve of that
measure, il a referendum vote were
taken today they would concur, with
practical unanimity, in the opinion
that the Federal Reserve System is
the greatest and most beneficent
single piece of financial legislation
ever enacted into law in any coun-
try in the world. Because of the
Federal Reserve System our finan-
cial structure stood the strain of tho
World War without tremor.
During our participation in the
war We spent more money than any
nation has ever spent before in the
same length of time. During that
same period we loaned more money
to our allies than any nation ever
loaned before in the same length
of time, and during that period We
raised moro money by taxation than
was ever raised before by any ma
tion in the same length Of time. But
IN spite of all these extraordinary
performances W. ! ave had no pan
les, nor even anything resembling a
financial depression. Bank failures
since 1914 have been practically

The Democratic party asks the
business world to judge its proposals.
and promises by its past perform
ances. 1t maintains that the only
safe and sane way to judge political
parties or platforms is by the acid
test of previous accomplishment.
Political promises unsupported by a
record of accomplishment have a
hollow sound in the ears of the aver
age American.
Curiously enough, there are intel
ligent business men who honestly
think that during the past seven
years the Democratic party has dis
souraged and stifled business initia-
tive and unnecessarily interfered
with and restricted normal business
development. Such belief is so
dearly unfounded that a fair analy-
ais of the situation will remove it
from all disintered and logical
minds. That such an assertion
should be advanced during a period
Of unexampled and widespread ma
tonal prosperity is all the more
remarkable.

srd of actual achievements in its
relations to the business world. \
Legitimate Business Encouraged
1t can be demonstrated that no
previous administration ever did as
much to encourage legitimate BUSH

ton, that it has never restricted or

ed Federal Trade Commission,
which is doing everything in its
power to lift business in this coun-
try to a higher standard and to es-
tablish It ON firmer foundations.
The story of the constructive work
of the Federal Trade Commission Is
known to comparatively few of our
business men, but II is story Of
splendid constructive achievement,
and when added to the constructive
work Of the Department Of Agricul-
ture, the Interior Department, the
Labor Department, the Department
of Commerce and of the Tariff Com
mission, the Wilson Administration
has a business record unsurpassed.
Antidote for Bolshcvism
In view Of the state in which the
world today finds itself, with labor
in every country Disconnected and
restless. could any work be more i'm
portant than that OF business SANTA
ton conducted by Government Off
cials intent only upon great con-
policy of building up sound
legitimate business' 1t
is openly stated on every side that
business men are agitated and ap-
prehensive about the possible spread
of Bolshevism in this country. IL
there is any such danger today. how"
much greater would that danger
have been but for the constructive
work OF the Wilson Administration
in the matter of eliminating illegiti-
mate business and upbuilding every
legitimate business interest!
The outstanding distinction be-
tween the Democratic party and the
party is that the former
is an unentangled party; it owes no
allegiance to any particular group or
class 1t is. therefore. free to de-
vote its energies to legislation in the
interest of the whole American pub
lie and, of course, all legitimate
business is better served in the long
run by that policy than by any pol
icy which tends to recognize special
groups at the expense of others, or
which would place the machinery of
at the service of special
groups. We have had many illu-
STATIONS in the past of the danger
inherent in methods of that charac-
ter.
Extreme conservatism begets ex-
treme radicalism and the pendulum
is apt to swing from one extreme to
the other. Under any such system
Of continuous oscillation between ex-
tremes, there can be no sound bust
ness security.
America, under Democratic Ad-
has become the great
est financial factor in the world.
The markets of the world are open
to us. Trade channels can be es-
tablished everywhere and our coun-
try is upon the verge of her great
est success as a commercial and in
dustrial nation. The safety of bust
ness lies in the continuance of the
policies of the Democratic party.
Our party has done more for the
business of America than the Re-
publican party did in a period of
two decades. Surely ancient preju-
dices will not prevail as against
these suggestions of common sense.
When our opponents charge us with
business incapacity, we have only
to point to the actual achievements
Of our party. The undoubted facts
constitute the best answer to parti-
san propaganda.

Election TUeSdaY

Formal election of F. G. Proutt as
chairman of the Memphis water COM
mission will be made by the city COM
mission at it's regular meeting next
Tuesday Mayor Paine announced on
Wednesday. Proutt was selected some
time ago as the successor of ]. Thomas
Wexford, who rendered his resignation
as chairman of the water commission.
Mr.. Proutt will assume his new duties
on Sept /, and Mayor Paine and mem
bers of the city commission express
the belief that the city will be greatly
benefited by the addition of Mr.. Proutt
to the commission. He is one of the
leading members OF his profession and
his experience with matters of this
kind is expected to prove valuable to
the commission as a whole. Mr. Proutt
is at present engaged in making a
survey of the property of the Memphis
Gas and Electric company, having been
employed by the city for the appraisal.
When Mr.. Proutt assumes his new
position the friction which has existed
in the water commission for several
months is expected to disappear. Mr..
Wexford has served the city for a num-
Der of years, and his resignation was
accepted with regret and only. after
he had expressed a determination to
quit the service of the city.
