FEEDING THE FAMILY

THIS is the daily task of twenty
million housewives In America
to provide a good meal for the family.
AS 80 per cent of our housewives must
use economy, it is vital that they know
how to spend the money provided
them, for the best food. Our gro
GERS tell us it is not the wealthy house
wives, as a rule, who buy food, fruit,
vegetables and luxuries out of season,
but those who can least afford it.
It is often a lack of knowledge of
food values, and c~arelessness and in
difference in regard TO expenditures.
1t should be the aim, and is, with
a large majority of ho~usekeepers, rich
or poor, to feed the family well. with
as little waste as possible and with
as small a money outlay. Food is the
big item in the weekly budget of the
growing family and there is no n
who can do more than suggest as to
the wise spending of the income, for
each family has it's own problems
which must be worked out in the
same manner that a mother manages
her children-no two need the same
training or discipline.
Growing boys and men at active
labor need substantial, filling meals.
The boys need as much as grown men,
for they are building their bodies as
well as burning up food in their &C
tivities.
Men who are in offices, or occupied
in positions where the brain is active
and the body has little exercise, need
much less of the energy-producing
food. Their food should be of such
combinations as are easily digested,
of course 1t should be nourish-
Ing as well. Pork and beans, ham
and fried eggs, corr beef and cab
are foods which the laborer or
outdoor worker may eat freely, az
such food is necessary.
Put as much interest into the plan
ming of meals and the serving of them
as is put into a game of bridge or
movie picture and we will have
made a start toward the millennium.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
~cRYSTALn

THE strange and erroneous
notion current among the
natural philosophers of antiquity
and of modern times down to
a comparatively recent date
concerning the origin of crystal,
was plainly traceable to the
confusion occasioned by the OBJ
ject itself.
According to these teachers of
a former day, crystal was ice
which had undergone a peculiar
process of induration so as to
totally lose its power of being
melted. In fact. Pliny, support
ing one error with another,
states that crystal is found only
in countries which are extreme
ly cold. Up to some two hun
dred years ago this idea about
the formation of the substance
still persisted. for Sir Thomas
Browne considers il worth while
to place it first and foremost
among the "Vulgar Errors"
which he sought to dissipate.
Though the mistake is more
amusing than dangerous, it is
easy to see how it arose, for the
Greek word chrystallos, or Ice,
was early transferred to that
quartz which closely resembles
Ice. In a little time it was
tacftly assumed that the two
substances were the samoa
belief which persisted for many
years.

Let us be better men,
Whether with pick or pen,
The labor we do is q work worth while
IL our hearts are clean and our spirits
smile,
And out of the rue and rust and stain
We make some growth and we mark

Great Are Statistics

Richard Vasolino, the hero Of
this picture, smoked 6,7SS
cigarettes during the filming Of
the first reel. More than 800
pairs of shoes were worn out
during the chase scene where the
hero pursues the william to the
edge of the cliff for the final
battle.
The paper used in writing tho
subtitles which were not used for
this picture would, if laid end to
end, reach from New York City
to Omaha.
Nearly 5000 young Alpine
goats gave up their lives and
their hair to make the whiskers
used in the great Bolshevist
scene in the third reel.
Many of the antique objects
used in the boudoir scene are real
antiques, being nearly two years
old.
It took 1914 men 548 days of
8 hours each to remove the cliff
from its original position at
Cardiff, Wales, and to set it up
again on our studio lot.
Additional statistics may be
obtained at the box-office when
leaving the theatre.

K TOT SO many years ago, at
IN that, the great writer's OF
the world were accusing
modern men of lack of chivalry
toward the fair sex. In those
days they were termed cavemen,
being imitators of a virile race
of handsome, yet unpublished
brutes who lived back in the age
of stone hammers and leopard
skin unionsuits.
At the time of which we write,
several years ago, men juries sat
and wept over the pitiful tales
told by downtrodden wives
whose husbands insisted upon eat
ing with their napkins tucked
under their chins, wiped their
muddy shoes on the parlor carpet
or INDUCED in other practises Of
great cruelty. In fact, In those
days, a man was occasionally
hauled up for spanking his wife.
The grief Of men juries was in
consolable.
Nowadays women juries sit
and weep over the Affections of
poor weak, downtrodden hus-
bands. who tell tales of un-
chivalrous wives.

on the inside Of a restaurant the
word liquor has to be covered up
with q napkin, q high-sign and a

ALI exchanges Of alcosol are

Eighteenth Amendment. Those

Men who used TO 'have some

anything worth being cheerful
about.
The saloonkeeper was once re-
garded as belonging to the lower
classes; the bootlegger is now
associated with the elite.
OF course, the folks who never
had 1t never miss it. Exactly the
same remark can be made about
taking bath; those who have
never had 1t never miss it. How
ever, that has never been taken
to mean that baths should be
abolished.

Just, She Struck Me"


the martyred husband on the wit
ness stand.
"Sniff sniff sniff" echoes
throughout the court room. The
lady jurors are visibly affected.
There is little doubt what the
verdict will be. At least one
cave-wife will get what is coming
to her.
Man in Illinois complained bit
terly in court the other day that
his wife made him stay at home
every evening with the children
while she gadded off to the
movies, and when he protested
she locked him up in a clothes
press without anything to eat for
twelve hours.
This sort of cruelty toward the
weak male sex must stop. The
men are necessary in the scheme
of existence and none can dis
count thir value. Eventually, of
course, they may gain their
liberty, but it will be a matter
of centuries, and will not do the
men alive to-day very much
good.
A campaign for chivalry on the
part of women toward men seems
to be due the poor helpless, sub
merged creatures.

ted q great many Of the details
which would naturally occur to
q mere man who doesn't happen
to be an expert on women'S
styles-and thanks heaven ho
isn't.
For instance, he said that
some women should increase
their latitude and decrease their
longitude. But he didn't mem
ton reducing the equator.
He said that q woman i1

ing her curves.
He said a woman with round
face should wear a V-shaped
neckline, but he neglected to ex-
plain how her husband could ac-
quire V-filled pocketbook.
He said that woman with an
elliptical face looks best in q
round neck, but he omitted to
state whether it would be wise
to call a woman elliptical-faced
to her face.
He said clothes should express
ones personality, but he didn't
tell how it could be done at
present prices.
He said a dignified woman
should not wear plumes, but he
did not go so far as to advocate
that if you meet dlgn1f1ed
woman wearing plumes, you
should yank them off of her.
He said no woman should wear
fruit or vegetables on her hat.
which is a waste of breath on his
part, in view of the price OF fruits
and vegetables.
He said that when a fat woman
wears red she commits a crons
against herself, but in our opin-
ion it's much more of a crime
against the community in which
she lives.
He said that red expands the
figure 81 per cent, and we can't
help feeling that it took some
pretty close figuring to be as ao-
curate as that.
He said that body blue likewise
increases the figure, and at Sass
a yard we can readily appreciate
that.
He said that a Gainsborough
hat is a cartwheel, but we'd like
to see a man with nerve enough
to offer his wife a cartwheel il
her heart was set on Gainsbor"
ough hat.
He said that loud colors attract
attention, which may explain why
chorus girls are so modestly
dressed.
The idea of clothes for shelter
has entirly disappeared, he said.
And there, for once, we agree
with him.
