In general, protein should be cooked at a low temperature. The typical protein foods are meat, fish, milk, eggs, cheese. and the legumes. Americans have been accustomed to taking their protein in the form of meat, but the recent food conservation movement has taught us that there are other sources of protein which may well re- place meat in the diet.
 MILK
 Milk is the least expensive source of protein and the very best for chil- dren. It is easily digested, and is now always available since the national food producers are canning it as evap- orated milk. True, 1t has less water than the fresh product, but by diluting 1t may be used in all. ways instead of new milk.
 child under 12 should have a quart of fresh milk or pint of diluted evaporated milk each day. An adult should have at least half as much.
 Part of this may be taken as drink and the remainder in combination with other foods. Oatmeal and milk is an ippetizing and nutritious food. White

I've always understood that q
good son is the best of makings

also, that it isn't always an easv
matter for a mother to relinquish
her son to a sweetheart, and it
may be an understanding of this
which makes your fiance want to
be very dear and sweet to his
mother to make up to her for
taking someone else into his
heart.
About living with her after

ARGUES FOR CoATLEss MEN.

Some OF your contributors have
registered just complaint about being
chased out Of certain movie theaters
because they did not have on coats on
hot nights. 1t should be entirely per-
missible for men to appear coatless
in public places. When common
sense rules over convention, going
coatless will become general prac-
tice on hot days. Chasing a man
out Of a theater for being coatiess
and permitting women to remain
dressed in peek-a-boo waists is in
consistency. It's about time the men
were demanding equal rights" The

There are certainly some foolish

Is "pained that girls should eves

politics" they said. We know now
how absurd this statement was.
Women are approaching a state OF
equality with men. 1t Is only logi-
cal to suppose that mans respect
will increase as she reaches that
equality.
There is much yet to be accom-
plished. Nature and tradition are
antagonistic to woman's advance
ment, but I think can safely say
that unless II. NJ. B. opens her mind
a little and adapts herself to some

herself hopelessly behind by the

them I don't quite understand.
He Is very nice to me sometimes.
Then, again. he IL very Indifferent.
One night he met me on the way to
a party, so we walked together.
When we passed the home OF girl
friend he asked me to go on as he
was going to take the other girl.
I did not think this was very nice.
and when he finally arrived he did
not have this girl at all. Then the
other night he was at a dance
which l attended. Before the music
started he was telling me how he
could dance and said he was going
to dance with me every chance he
got. but when we started to dance
NE danced with everyone but me.
Do you think ! should invite this
boy to my home and have an under

not pay any attention to him? I
am very much In love with him,

acts in this manner. Don't put
yourself in the position of a per-
