Hunting a Husband.-2.
BIT DOROTHY DIX
worlds Highest Paid Woman writex.

No one need smile, however, at the
woman who wants to get married. and
in her search for a husband is driven
to the desperation of advertising for
a nice, gentle, quiet man who is will
ing 10 work in double harness, and
will stand when hitched.
Since we all admit that marriage
is the proper sphere for woman. and
the one in which she finds her own
highest happiness, and is most useful
to society. We should encourage her
| on in the husband hunt instead of
beratirg her for going out on the
| chase. Nothing could be more idiotic
ana inconsistent than our attitude in
| this matter. and if we only had
| enough intelligence to abolish the
en- from openly seeking her mate, we
should not only have more marriages.
but happier ones.
For women know what they want
| in husband, and if they had their
choice they would get it. 1t is only
because they have 10 take anything
that is offered to them that they
make what appears to US to be such
| poor selections.
All honor. then, to the woman who
wants husband and has the coura ge
| to seek one instead of submitting
tamely to fate and ending her days
in the Spinsters Retreat.
l would remind such a one of two
, things. The first is to use judgment
in selecting her hunting ground. Just
as there is no use in fishing in a river
| in which there are no fish, or beating
bush in which there are no birds,
SO there is no profit in seeking a hus-
band in places where the only men
are dotards, or beardless boys.
At present the happy hunting
ground for husbands is in the bust
ness world There are two reasons
for this. One Is that when a woman
is in business she is where the men
opportunity to meet daily and hourly
men of every conceivable type. Any
business girl knows a hundred times
more men than the most popular So
ciety belle does, and has therefore
that many more chances to catch one.
Secondly, in business a girl has a
man off his guard. When he visits a
girl in her home, or takes her out to
parties he knows that he has entered
INTO the domain of the man hunter
and that the traps are set and have
been baited especially for him, so he
is wary and suspicious. But with the
business woman he feels safe. and so
he strolls merrily along. careless and
unconcerned, until she gets her pot
shot into his heart and bowls him
over.
1 would also remind the woman
who wants to marry that men are like
children. Indifferent to the thingsthey
have and with which they are famil
lar, but taken with a new toy. Thus
it is that the girl who is a wall flower
at home is rushed when she goes TO
strange place, and that not infre-
quently woman who has been re-
garded as a hopeless old maid makes
a highly desirab BILE match when she
goes on visit TO her sister.
The moral of all which is, If you are
not appreciated at home, go where
the men have better taste. There is
nothing like a change of partners.
But don't advertise for a husband.
It's not romance you will get but black

vitamines the subjects droop, and un-
less the balance is restored. they will
soon die.
Human beings who are not on
polar explorations or in remote camps
where a fixed ration must be eaten
should not be in danger of a lack of
vitamines if they eat varied and
substantial diet. The layman who has
only casual acquaintance with pro-
teins, carbohydrates. and yitamines
can best insure himself against dan
gers of mainutrition by remembering
that fruit, dairy products, green vege-
tables, fresh meat, and dark bread,
are the basis of a highly unanimous
menu
The white bread which most of us
eat is made Of flour so thoroly husked
ard devitalized that its yitamine con-
tent is declared by experts to be al
most negligible. The public health
service urges the use of whole wheat,
rye. bran, and other dark breads, for
these contain the husk. and the husk
contains the life of the flour. Our
war experiences with dark war SUBJ
stitute flours were unfortunate, but
the oid-fashioned whole wheat. the
German pumpernickle. the Norwe gia n
brittlebread and the Scotch oat cake
are all recommended by health au-
thorities as aids to good teeth and bet
ter digestion.
HOW COOKING At1eCtS 1Dcm.
The subject of vitamines is slightly
complicated for the unscientific con-
sumner of food by the fact that cooking
affects some of them. Science has not
had time to test every vegetable before
and after cooking to see how much
heat vitamine can stand and live.
Some experiments with carrots were
made on white rats, some eating raw
carrots, and the rest the cooked ones.
No great difference was observed.
The cooking proposition is still be-
ing tested. In tomatoes, it has been
proved, the vitamines are not killed,
even when subjected to a high degree
of heat. Cabbage, on the other hand,
loses some of it's unanimous strength
when cooked, the conclusion being
that you would have to consume more
cooked cabbage than raw in order to
get the same amount of vitamines into
your system.
In the case of milk, it is known that
real sterilization" destroys the vita
mines; 'pasteurization," however,
merely lessons their strength. All
babies milk should be pasteurized, as
all sorts of germs Turk in raw milk.
In New York City, where milk comes
from ten states. such pasteurization is
enforced by the health authorities,
and the result has been a reduction
in infant disease and mortality. For
babies fed chiefly on cows milk this
pateurization results in a deficiency
of vitamines. especially of the water
soluble vitamine c. Tests have shown
that little orange or grape fruit juice
supplies the needed vitamines, but
these fruits are often too expensive
ned or raw and sweet turnip juice
we're tried and were pronounced
highly successful, even with babies
three months old.

PALMER's SUGAR ORDER.


Attorney General Palmer has or
{ dered that retail grocers limit their
profits on sugar to two cents a pound
There are many persons living who
can remember the time when retailers
made no profit whatever on sugar. 1t
will be interesting to observe how Mr.
Palmer will enforce his order He
hardly can force grocers to handle
sugar if they conclude not to do so.
Arbitrary price-fixing and food con-
troll are interferences with the laws of
trade, and, unless the food dictator be
a man of more than human wisdom
and prescience, the outcome is almost
certain to be more injurious than ben
eficial.
1t is asserted in the dispatches that
state control in Great Britain has
been SO unpopular that even the
heads OF the cooperative societies are
now protesting strongly against it,"
Under government control the price
of tea was doubled but after the re-
moval OF government control the price
fell materially. The prices of sugar
and meat went up under government
control and the inefficiency was so
marked that tons of spoiled meat was
sold to the oap-boilers and every soap
factory in England is declared to be
clogged with bacon which was sold for
soap grease because of the delays in
handling.
With food prices so high as to be
burdensome to the consuming public,
the government made enormous prof
it's on some of the commodities it
handled. AS one authority is quoted
as saying, "Profiteering has it's great
est opportunity under the system of
government control and government
department themselves have not been
above extracting enormous profits
from their deals in national necessi-
ties"
Food control and price fixing in this
country have been unsatisfactory in
results. Congress guaranteed a min
imum price for wheat but under the
| licensing system this was made the
maximum price instead, and 1t is
charged that many a farmer, under
the system of grading established, sold
his wheat for less than the guaranteed
price and less than it was worth rela-
lively in view of its flour-producing
qualities. Under the system of food
control and price-fixing, dairymen
found their business Improbable and
sent thousands OF their cows to the
slaughter house. Only by vigorous
, protest were sheep growers able to in
duce the food controllers to reverse
their attitude relative to the use of
lambs for food.
! Altho entirely proper and laudable
price-fixing and d-control, by rea-
son of the limitations of human wis
dom, are fundamentally unsound and
certain to produce unsatisfactory re-
suits as compared with the natural de-
velopment of production and limita-
ton and regulation of consumption
under the free influence of the law of
supply and demand. High prices of
some commodities naturally increase
the production of those commodities
and bring about desired results. Ar
bitrary control and fixing of prices
tend to discourage production and in
terfere with the full operation of the
laws of trade.
is unlikely to cause any reduction in
the price of sugar and may increase it.

Burning To Death.

fire of an abatis and the burning OF
wounded soldiers, both Union and Con-

the story in his "Recpllections of a

and counted the minute when they
would strike him, but was unexpect-

which arrested the fire just in season.

to Mr.. Gross:
