FOR WELL FED FAMILIES

The American housewife has an out standing characteristic and that consists of the ability to arise to the occasion when an emergency presents itself. So now in our present unsettled food con- ditions, we appeal to her to help us back to place of stability.
 And she has decided to do this by in- augurating campaign which will result in the greatest stabiliZing factor coun- try can possess-happy, healthy, we'll fed families.
 The first step in the campaign will be to see to it that every homemaker throughout our country plans meals, pur chases food supplies and prepares three meals a day correctly.
 Before a balanced meal can be planned women must know foods. But this doesn't { require lot of hard study; it's just the easiest thing in the world if you go about it in the right way. Take this meal for example. It is often served, but generally unnecessary foods are added It is a well-selected meal because every class of food is represented.
 Ham, which contains protein from the lean meat and fat.
 Potatoes, which contain starch.
 Cabbage, which contains mineral salts and roughage.
 Baked apples, which contain sugar mineral salts and roughage

Milk, which contains growth Of pro- noting substances.
 Bread, butter, coffee (if desired.) IT you were to serve sweet potatoes along with this meal you would be serv- ing two starchy foods This should not De done. It isn't necessary and may re- suit Tn you eating too much of one kind ot food at the expense of the others. And IL costs so much more in actual money, 100, not to mention the extra amount of Work you go to in getting so many dishes ready.
 Again, suppose you serve fried chickens with what you already have. You would then be giving your family two protein dishes. for chicken is rich in protein, so is ham.
 A real meal, not light lunch, con- slsts of meat or a meat substitute; two vegetables Gone light, one heavy). Potatoes are typical heavy vegetable, times one of these vegetables such tomatoes is served in the form of salad, so of course in that case you would serve only one vegetable, heavy one.
 Then you want something sweet. This may be either dessert or a salad. The baked apple given above is an ex- cellent dessert. If you want a little extra and serve both salad and dessert, watch that you don't give both from the same class. That is if you serve fruit salad, don't serve fruit as des- sert.
 You always need milk. especially

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Cattle Men Losing Money

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 l see you quote party claiming to know, saying the packers are paying 20 cents per pound on hoof for cattle. Ire New York Commercial of June 29 quotes good and choice cattle at $15.5O. and I am just back from Ohio. where saw the best kind of beef cattle selling for SIS per hundred pounds. and found no cattle man with whom talked who placed his loss at less than $25 per head. Here in Alabama. for grass fed grade Herefords, we are offered $7 per hundred.
 The writer has what is said to be the best farm in Talladega county. of fair size. and is one of the men who in 1914 went into the cattle business
 My losses being more than want to admit, decided to nose around through Ohio and find out wherein my trouble lay. but I find men who have been in the cattle feeding business all their lives estimate their losses from $25 to s125 per head for last season. and it irritates me to see men misrepresent- ine actual conditions.

 But you have duplicated the mineral salts and roughage foods you may say. Yes, but don't worry about using lots of that class which brings us to some thing else-a rather new subject by the way-the growth promoting substances, which are found-but why don't you write to the food economics department and ask them to send you table show ing all of the foods, where they are found and what each does for the body?

"THE woMEy's COLLEGES .

From the New iO-k Tribune.
The women's colleges. like other in
stitutions, are In serious straits for
lack Of money Bryn Mawr is cam
paigning for 100000; Smith for s4,-
10000; Nassar Is TO launch a big drive
In the Spring. AT Bryn Mawr the
whole Of the new endowment, when
obtained, will be used for raising pro-
fessOrs' salaries; at Smith and Nassar
the greater part OF the money will be
so used. The present salaries are. in
relation 10 the existing scale OF prices
lamentably insufficient. The instructors
do not get enough to marry on; and
even the highest paid professors arc
hardly able 10 send their children TO
college. When the bonds of loyalty
and OF inertia-have ceased TO hold the
present staffs, II will be impossible, I'M
der such conditions, TO replace them.
A few years ago the United States
Department OF Education made a care
ful Investigation OF all the colleges and
universities in the country. Fifty-nlno
Of them were classified as Of first
academic rank and among these nifty
nine there were just six independent

Smith, Wellesley, Mount HOlyOke and
Goucher. It is inconceivable that any
one Of these precious six should be
forced by mere lack Of money TO lower
its standard Of scholarship.
Any one Of the leading girls col
leges could obtain the necessary money
by doubling tuition fees. There would
be no injustice in this, In any ordinary
sense. IL would simply mean that the
students would be more nearly pay
ing for what they get. And the num-
bers would perhaps not diminish There
are plenty Of rich girls who would be
attracted by the idea of rich girls
college. But such a solution is not to
be thought OF. Education must be made
more, not less. accessible to girls and
boys in moderate circumstances.
II is not necessary TO argue the case
of higher education for women. The
arguments in its favor are al about. A
large part Of the best teaching in the
c0untry-teaching Of boys as well as Of
girls-is done by cOllege-trained wO-
men. In all sorts Of work for human
welfare and human progress they are
taking a useful part The Institutions
that have produced these results are a
great national possession, and must be
able 10 carry on their work.

counties In building roads. Sussex
county has authority for a bond issue
Of 100000 and Is to use this 10 gel
the State aid appropriation and has al
ready applied for S25000O Of the Sl5O,OOC
set aside. Kent county is in no posi-
tion TO avail Itself OF this aid because
u has no authority TO borrow money
except a balance Of the 100000 bond
issue authorized, and it cannot secure
authority until next winter. So that
but little can be done in 1920 in this
county toward county road building
Whenever Kent county ayails itself OF
this State aid the roads will be built
by the State Highway Department.
State highway standards will apply and
such roads will be maintained by the
State Highway Department at the
county's expense. II may be assumed
that such State aid roads viii be con-
crete roads which, at present cost
$4,000 per mile. These will be perma-
nent roads and while they are desirable
for many Of our roads on which is
heavy traffic, n Is obvious that the
county is not likely to secure many
miles. Ten miles would cost the
county 100000 and an annual appro-
prlatlon Of $1,000 for maintenance
would be required The problem that
cOnfrOnts Kent county is what is TO be
done with our roads other than the two
State highways under construction?
Most Of them are In bad condition and
10 viii cost a great deal Of money to
repair them each year and they are far
from satisfactory when kept repaired
and will be less so when compared
with the State concrete roads. II we
bond the county for Si,000,0O0 as Sus-
sex has done and secure a Ike amount
of State aid. we can secure but 80 miles
OF road of the State highway standard.
80 miles OF such roads would be but a
starter. II Is estimated that there are
8, 1893 miles Of public roads in De,a-
ware. II so, u is safe to estimate that
Kent county has at least 1900 miles.
The road problem is one OF our most
important and pressing problems and
10 is not to be solved by any means by
the less than 30 miles OF State roads
constructed or to be constructed in the
county. IL is up TO us TO plan for what
IS 10 be done with our other roads and
this planning should be done before
the next session Of the legislature. At
this time while we have the time to
read and discuss il, we advise you to

The clearing house OF the Delaware
State Program has issued an interesting
booklet describing the plans and work
Of the State Highway Department II
appears that there has been completed,
including the dupont boulevard from
Milford to Selbyville, 70 miles Of road,
that there is uncOmpleted but under
contract, 81 miles The completed pOr-
tions. beside The dupont boulevard
from Milford TO Selbyvllle, are the por-
tlons from Dover to Smyrna, from VIII
mington 10 the Pennsylvania line above
C'aymont, from Delmar TO above Laurel,
small sections above SeafOrd, below
Bridgevlle. above Greenwood and be-
tween Magnolia and Frederick. There
Is under construction sections between
FELTON, and Delmar, Dover and Milford,
and Wilmington and TalleyTlle. 10 is
planned to construct in 1920. the roads
from Milford to Rehoboth by way o.
Milton and HarbesOn. from Fe'ton TO
Dover, from Smyrna 10 Odessa, and
from Summit Bridge and ST. Georges to
a point above Red Lion. There are also
a number Of sections OF State aid high
ways under construction In Sussex
county and a number OF such State aid
highways for construction In 1920, In
Sussex and one IN New Castle county
Considering discOuraging conditions,
this Is quite an ambitious program both
in construction under way and planned
for this year. The one feature Of the
program that attracts US is the number
Of State roads being built In Sussex
county. II the 1920 program is carried
out, Sussex will, at the end Of the year,
have three State highways. one from
Delmar TO the county line. below Farm
lngton, another from Milford 10 Selby-
vile, and still another from Milford to
Rehoboth. Kent county is, in the same
program, securing two roads below
Dover, but there is the western side Of
the county. embracing all Of the third
district, the fourth district, the sixth
and most Of the ninth distric that has
been overlooked. Since We do not eX-
pect the State TO build roads connect
ing these districts with Dover or some
other points on the State highways now
being built, we still think a mistake has
been made in building a road from Har-
rington by way Of FELTON, and Camden
to Dover. As we see it, this road should
have been located west of FELTON, and
run by Willow Grove, through the
fourth district 10 KentOn 70 Clayton
and connected with the dupont boule-
ward at Smyrna. Another interesting
fact is stated in this booklet. In 1920
the State Highway Department will set
aside S75OO00 20 be used TO aid the
