Dear Cynthia--Recently l read let.
ter written by "Sophist" Well. Just had
to laugh. Honestly. It is a fine cure for
the blues.
Cynthia. what is the matter with
friend De Jure? Is he preparing long
calling down for the readers Of the col
umn. or IL he sitting back Oilie ] AND
laughing at the literary efforts of "Soph-
ist?" have missed his name from the
column for some time.
Just a few lines to "Sophist." Please,
"Sophist," tell me what college or In
stitution you have attended? Hadn't you
better use straightforward English and
say what you mean. instead of covering
II all up with fiowery rhetoric?
took a peep into the dictionary for
the sole purpose OF informing you of
| the meaning of your name: "Sophst,"
one of a body of men in ancient Greece
| (5th century Il. c. who taught philos-
ophy. eloquence and politics.

Perhaps "Sophst" did not use straight
English, but he Certa My managed to

Why Say They Are Bad?

Dear Cynthia--It has been quite
long time since I have written anytnins
10 your column, 80 am writing TINS let
ter for your girl readers to answer.
What I would like to know Is What is
a good man?" To explain what mean
Ia this: Quite often a girl VII write 70
your column and tell you all the men
are no good and they are all alike' etc.
I have also spoken to quite rev
girls and hear them say that these Gays
a good man Is hard to find and you
can't trust any Of them and n lot more
stun about them.
I have many friends of my own sex
that I work with and others on the out
side that I go around with and go TO
show or a dance, or In fact anywhere
They seem to be very nice and. think
would make good husbands some day;
But still there are some girls that VIII
say they are of no account .
Now I am not directing this letter to
the girls that do not say these things
but am directing It to the girl who al
ways says, "A good man Is hard to
| find" GOOD MAN
Some girls have gotten into the habit
| of saying that there are no good men
without actually meaning 1t. They tn 'nl
| it's smart. While there are many bac
persons In the world, there are also
many good ones, both men and women.

Tasty, Appetizing Food Planned for Saturday, Sunday and
~ Monday EUening-Friday Market Basket
BY MRS. NJ. A. WILSON

eceps~toht, 1920, Sy Mrs: n. A. Wilson.
ErHE October markets are at the
= harvest food tide and show an
abundance of the late fall and early
winter products. Spinach, cabbage,
celery, turnips, carrots, beets will re-
phce the succulent corn, tomatoes and
beans. Just about this season lettuce
becomes scarce and. therefore, corre-
sponllingly high priced and the economic
housewife is tempted to omit 1t from
the menu.
The fall and winter diet requires an
abundance of green uncooked foods for
salads II we are to remain physically
fit. a liberal diet of bread. meat and
potatoes with pastries and heavy des-
serts win cause the blood stream to be-
come oyerrich and therefore sluggish,
and IL is in this condition that we are
ant to catch colds and other winter ills.
30 for safety's sake see that Mt least
once day well made salad of I'M
cooked green's is served to the family in
liberal portions. This salad need not
Be expensive and yet it must be APP

you have given up baking during the
the family budget when you start bak-
Ing home made bread. cakes. pies and
pastries, and the family will also surely
appreciate the home baking. If you
have a cold cellar, now Is the time to
think about storing potatoes for winter
days, and with this thought in mind
Keep the fact plainly before you that
many of the so called farmers who visit
the city with loads of potatoes are
really not farmers at all, so il you pur-
chase from these men see that you OBJ

pounds to the bushel and 100 pounds

Every fall I receive many letters
from women who purchase from street

'been short weighted. The ordinary
peach or tomato basket holds one half
bushel. or thirty pounds, when filled
rounding high. Trust this. rather than
the so called bushel measure. Pota-
toes should be covered with fine dry
sand and placed in a cool and we'll
ventilated cellar far from the heater.
This weekend we are planning n
suggestive menu to include a Saturday
evening dinner, three meals on Sunday
and a Monday evening dinner.

UNHE story Of the boyhood and llte Oh
l. Nathaniel Hawthorne tells an in
teresting fact about his mother, VINO
was widowed when she was only twen-
ty- seven.
After the custom of those old times,
her mourning was very deep and very
prolonged. ..
She even went so far as to withdraw
entirely from the family circle; for from
that time on she never ate a single
meal downstairs in tho dining room
with the rest of her family!
What a strange, morbid custom that
was; it seems wrong, cruel to us in
our modern times. :.
We haven't lost any depth of feeling
with the years, although sometimes ~
seems to older persons as IL we had
hardened and become cold with the rush
and hurry and greed of the century.
And we have to admit sometimes our
selves that some of us do seem to have
killed a great deal of what they cal
sentimental foolishness' in their ma
lures.

- some Of us.
The majority Of us are just as ten
der, just as easily moved as any OF ou,
ancestors. but we don't show it.
Why, a woman nowadays would fee
selfish IL she shut herself away in hel
grief; and undoubtedly she would b'
considered selfish.
"What about the rest of the family,
would be today's argument. Don.
they need the presence and the strengttl
of their mother? Surely they feel al
most as much sorrow as she does.
Probably II was said Of Mrs. Haw
thorne that she was brave to suffer b.
herself, and not infict her sadness upol
the rest of the family.
We suffer by ourselves now, too. bu
we don't inflict it upon the rest OF tn
family by taking ourselves osteptatiousl
away from them. There are women to
day who have taken off their dee
mourning, have almost erased the line
of sorrow from under their eyes, an
have gone back to their everyday live
as cheerily as If nothing had ever bro
ken the surface of that brightness.
But there are some days, some hour
during the day when those women kee

When the reform" wave turned foot

games to be played. Some years later
this number was increased TO seven,
which Is hardly enough for the multi
tude of fans who are hungry for con
tests
II the Conference teams We're per-
Initted to play nine games the students
would have the added pleasure of see
ing their respective elevens in action more
times during the season. Schedules are
so arranged that some of the teams play
as many as four contests away from
home. This is made necessary by the
drawing power Of certain universities,
which always draw large crowds, regard
less of the attraction.
4 nine game schedule would permit
at least two preliminary contests On
the home gridirons early each year.
These games would serve to ct the Big
