Eugenic ImproN ement

IL may be truly said that eugenic improvement is attained through the control of heredity. Again, it is un- derstood that by heredity is meant the action Of clements which control the development Of the individual and determine his constitution or makeup. The laws of nature which determine this action are known now far better than ever before.
 There is rather mistaken idea, too often loosely accepted by the pub lie, that eugenic improvement refers to sex hygiene of the race alone. Sex hygiene is, Of course, a part Of the general consideration to be dealt with in eugenic improvement, but it is by no means the whole subject. Unfortunately, it is one part which seems to be unduly emphasized when the subject of eugenics is mentioned. In fact. many ignorant people are op- posed to any spread Of knowledge Of eugenic improvement because they egard it as not proper knowledge for boys and girls cf school age.
 II is a ST mich should be accepted as our homes and race. The ,rds of young men and women shtA. what may be ey- peeted if We rely upon the nnin- formed pubicists for information.
 By eugenic improvement Is mf""' the use Of special medical and s' tifc knowledge which will aid r, in the ordinary walks of life to l.. ter and improve their living condi- tions, themselves and their offspring. Remember that injuries which may be lifelong can be inflicted on your offspring by unhygienic living. Learn how to secure and keep, AS a price less heritage to the generation ahead, a sound body.
 Not all shortcomings are inherited, but lack Of germ resistance is, 10 a great extent. Engenic improvement is raising the mental, physical and moral life 10 the best development possible by right living.

As potatoes seem to be necessary tt every mans dinner, no matter wha other vegetables appear. few diff ferent' ways to serve them may ap' peal to the cook.
 Potatoes are most wholesome wher baked. The intense heat changes tho starch to sugar to a certain extent making them more easily assimilated by the body. There is an authority on foods and eating who tells us that 1 If a person wishes to do 1t, he can 1 live in splendid health on baked po- tato, milk and water, indefinitely" | In many recipes using boiled pota- toes baked potatoes can be substi- tuted if desired.
 Potato timbales are made with | either baked or boiled potatoes. Potato Timbales
 Four or five medium sized pota- toes. tablespoons butter. F tea spoon salt. Is teaspoon pepper, l egg yok. leftover meat, chiii sauce, canned tomatoes. parsley.
 Bake or boil potatoes in their skins. When tender peel aud rub through a potato ricer or a wire sieve. Melt butter in a sauce pan. Add potatoes, salt and pepper and egg yolk and cook and stir until hot and thoroughly mixed. Line some well-buttered custard cups with the mixture. The layer of potato should be about one-half inch thick. Chop meat. To one and one-quarter 10 one and one-half cups of chopped meat add two tablespoons Chili sauce and enough strained tomato 10 make moist, Heat this mixture and use to hll potato cups, Put in a hot oven for l6 minutes to brown Remove from melds and serve at once.

DAILY FASHION sEryIGE -
TWO WINTER NEGLIGEES

As the thermometer slides slowly down, ones negligee attire must be changed for something warmer than chiffon or silk crepe.
 For practical wear the breakfast coat of corduroy is recommended. It is made of wide-waled corduroy lined with silk and bound with silk ribbon. It ties, in the fashionable manner, on one side.
 For decoration as well as utility the ether neglisee sketched is exactly right. It is a slip-over gown with odd wide sleeves and girdle that fits over ones hips.
 Velvet or duvetyn are it's materials and marabou, moufflon or white reb- Tit its trimmings. The girdle may be beaded or of silk cord.
