Of Cadiz, former speaker Of the
Ohio house Of representatives, ad-
dressing the Community Club

referendums since Ohio adopted

Woicing fear Of consequences re-

'The good American is one who
puts his country ahead Of himself.
He Is for his State first, rather
than his class or group. He is an
American before he Is q lawyer.
doctor, merchant, farmer, banker.
mechanic or laborer. The great
menace to good government Is the
selfish desire Of individuals.
Every voter who is not lazy
should have for his slogan: Get

unless he fails TO vote his honest
convictions. The good American
win serve on the school board or

You're going to be sick and in debt and
generally heckled by fate. You're never
going to have the life you dreamed Of hav-
ing, whether you marry or not That's tho
human lot. We all get more or less Of q
rough deal as we scramble through the
years. Then why not face those facts when
considering the success or failure Of your
marriagef
Analyze the sum total: Just so much is
due to the general process of living. Then
you can't blame your wife or your husband
for that. just SO much more is due to the
fact that you are Yourself-tO your own

WE blame marriage for so much dis
" comfort that is in no way peculiar
to marriage, but is simply part of
the business of living. All this misery of
the adjustment Of one personality to an
other, for instance. Well, if you'r going
to make a success of yourself, your per-
sOnality will have to become adjustable
whether you marry or not. In many ways
we are simply highly complicated ma

Color of FoOdstufs.

While il is true that the house
wife should be careful in selecting
her food to use only such as presents
a good appearance, it is also true
that we sometimes are led away by
the eye. In other words, in our usual
purchase of attractive fruits and
vegeta bles we may hark back to our
youthful fancies for pink lemonade
and let the color of the given food
play too large a part in our selec-
ton.
On the other hand. we may err by
not thinking enough about color in
our foodstuffs.
Scientists now are working on the
theory that the natural colored foods
may very possibly be richer in one of
the most important vitamins than
those that are paler in color True
to our usual aim of rousing interest
in further study. therefore, we are
asking readers to organize their in
formation regarding the color of
foodstuffs so as to know when to lay
stress on this and when to soft-pedal it.
Take first the matter of the impor-
tance of color. When there is. q
choice between yellow cornmeal and
white, for instance, unless you wish
the lighter qualities of the white va
riety. as, for example, on a warm
morning. choose the yellow. because
of its richer oil. When there is a
question between yellow turnip and
white. the same principle of selection
probably holds good. These are but
suggestive illustrations, and the
whole subject is worth real study.
Then there is the color that gives
the right kind of appeal, namely. that
which really helps to make the food
oil tg.h 10 ~
digestible and nourishing. The rosi-
ness of apples may give no indica
tion of the higher food value, but If
YOU are striving to make special
color scheme for your dinner table
there is no doubt about it that the
cleaning red of certain varieties OF
apples will lend material aid in this
direction and directly contribute tC
the value of the feast
Then there is the matter of norma
color, the freshness and general at.
tractivenesS of products that are il
best condition for food. Such aspects
of the color question are very i'm
portant indeed.
One good example of our being lee
astray by our color taste is that OF
brown and white rice or other cereals
An overcultivated national taste has
for some time demanded these white
types of cereal. and by the same
token our families have been de.
prived Of some of the most important
elements in the grain. The impor.
tant mineral salts are in most cases
In tho outer coating of the grains
and brown rice may actually save g
life when white would have con
tributed to an already established
state of disease.
The whole matter. then, may bt
summed up in a few words.
Color that indicates freshness ant
normal development in fruits ant
vegetables is very important. Color
that adds to the aesthetic and appe
tizing qualities of foods is important
Color that shows that the food is il
a complete state, such as the whole
ness of grains, is vitality important
Color that appeals merely to the eye
without a corresponding service tt
the nutrition Of the body is mis-
leading.

Nutrition Nuggets.

Food that is not needed immedi
ately is stored in the body for future
use and it has been found that when
there is a sudden call for energy and
strength the storedup starch is the
first to be called upon. In fact. un-
less there is sufficient starch stored
away in the body the surplus fat that
is also stored cannot be used prop
erly. This is a thought for those
who are concerned about a reducing
diet" Be very sure that you are not
disturbing the general balance of the
body by cutting out too much
starchy food.
Corn oil is one Of the by-products
obtained in the manufacture of starch
from corn. This oil is nourishing and
palatabl and may be used as a salad
oil. Corn is one of the few cereals
containing an appreciable quantity
.of Gil.
The contractions of the stomach
which cause the sensation known as
hunger are most numerous in chill
dren decreasing gradually as ma
turity and age advance. This ex-
plains why elderly persons are said
to have small appetites.' 1t is,
moreover, an Indication that less food
is needed.
The saliva is the first digestive
juice which the food encounters. 1t
is composed of water. certain inor-
ganic salts, mucin and elements called
engines, and directly concerned with
the digestive processes.
In the intestines are found various
types Of organisms or bacteria. Some
of these are beneficial to the body
in fact necessary to the digestion of
food. Others are the direct result of
nj ia Of W r. h i
gested food. One source of the for
mer type is the starchy part of our
food Bacteria contained in properly
prepared starch help the body in get
ting rid of the bacteria which come
from putrefying food.
Although we are accustomed to
think Of the intestines as organs to
help rid the body of waste, we some
times forget that they have CO.
workers, namely, the lungs, kidneys
and skin. Attention to good air,
fluids and bathing, therefore, is inn
portant when We are striving to help
rid the body of the waste products
which cause disease.
The value of food to the body de-
pends upon the amount of material it
furnishes after digestion. This means
that the relative digestibility of
foods is important and demands care
full study by those who are charged
with the responsibility of formulat-
ing dietaries.

Windows.

Windows are most convenient to
look out of and most unconvenient to
fall out of. However, meny people
look out of them all their life with
out ever falling out of one, even
low one, the result being they don't
have eny sympathy with the people
that do.
Wind blowing in one window is
jest air, vile wind blowing in one
window and out another is a draft
If you go to sleep between 2 windows
you are libel to wake up with a. cold,
being the best way to get one be
cause then you can blame it on the
draft, vile if you catch cold with
nuthing to blame it on all you can do
is wawk erround with it saying, I
wonder how l cawt this? On the
other hand. if you haven't got a cold
you hardly ever think of wondering
wy not.
The hardest windows to open are
train windows, and even wen you do
get one open you are libel to get q
cinder in your eye. Proving some of
the hardest things you do are the
ones you wish you hadent.
Nuthing keeps you awake eisier
than window ratteling all mite, but
If you jest stick peece of paper in
the side it will stop, the mistery be
ing wy you don't get up and do IT.
Children are allaways being advized
not to fall out of windows. but they
proberly wouldent enyways if they
could help it.
The younger you are the more fun
it is to cline in through a window
insted of wawking in through d door,
SO as soon as people get old enuff u
be allowed TO do it all they wunt 10
on account of owning their own win

More Politeness.
Too often 1t is very clear
POliteness is thin veneer.

Peter Rabbit chuckled to himself.
This is funny old world" said he.
Yes. sir, this is a funny old world.
Yesterday ReGdy Fox was most polite
and humble as he stepped aside for
Old Man Coyote, and Old MAJ Coyote
was naughty and acted as il he ruled
the old pasture and cared for no one.
This morning Old Man Coyote was
even more humble and polite to Bus
ter Bear than Reddy Tox had been to
him. Buster Bear acted just as If he
didn't see Old Man Coyote. Buster is
so big and strong that l guess no one
in the Old Pasture can make him po-
lite if he doesn't feel like being So"
The following morning Peter was
back in his old place in the bramble
tangle on the bend in the old cow
path. 1t was safe place, because
that bramble tangIe was very thick.
And it was fine place to see what
was going on, because that old COW
path was much used. Peter wondered
if Old Man Coyote would appear
again. He didn't. Instead, who
should come ambling slowly along
down the old cow path but Jimmy
Skunk. Jimmy likes a few berries
now and then, and so he was up in
the Old Pasture to get his share.
Peter looked down the old COW

Scalloped Eggs.
MRS. OLLIE JAMES,
Widow of Former Senator James.

Mrs. James, who was such a popu-
lar and active hostess while her hus-
band was looking after the interests
Of Kentucky in the Senate, has con-
tinued to spend a great deal of her
time in Washington since his death.
Noted for her beauty and charm, Mrs.
James has always been rated as a
true daughter OF the Blue Grass State.
She was one of the interested spec
tators at the Democratic convention.
Regarding foods. Mrs. James has
said that she considered eggs the SAL
vation of the housekeepe the year
around, when the meat, fish and
poultry routines became monotonous.
Being always obtainable, independent
Of season, is another advantage, and
there is no end to the variety of
dishes which may be made with eggs.
While many families regard eggs
solely as a breakfast dish, they are
susceptible to many adaptations that
make them delicious for luncheons.
There is no better way to serve them
than to have them scalloped.
Take one dozen eggs, one cup of
breadcrumbs and one pint of milk.
Boil the eggs hard and when cool
slice them. Butter baking dish and
place in it the breadcrumbs and sliced
eggs in alternate layers, with gener-
Gus pieces Of butter scattered through
each layer and d seasoning of salt
and pepper. Cover the top of the dish
with the breadcrumbs and pour over
the milk. Bake until brown, and you
have a dish that is inexpensive and
delicious.

sary, you have anything but a judi
cial mind, in spite of the fact that
your reputation is above reproach and
your honesty of character is unques-
toned. You are, unfortunately, dog
matte and at times bigoted. You
have mapped out a line of conduct
for yourself and think that every
one else should abide by your rules
and regulations.
You are a foe of compromise, and
half a loaf is better than none
You can never appreciate the force
OF an argument when it is contrary
to what you believe. You can never
concede that there might be justice
on the other side.
II experience had proven beyond
the peradventure of doubt that your
own opinions were always correct and
your judgment infallible, there might
be some excuse for your unrelenting
attitude. This, however, is not the
case. Your friends, therefore. while
admiring the probity of your per-

rather than to seek you.

What TodayMeans to You
Leo.
BY MARY BLAKE.

Today's planetary aspects are ex-
cellent, and remain so until the early
part of the evening. They indicate
success along most lines of en-
deavor. although they are not very
favorable for work of an inventive
nature. They also portend optimism
and courage. While, therefore, it is
advisable to guard against excessive
optimism. every task in hand should
be tackled with courageous effort.
In the evening poise is needed to
avoid argument and misunderstand-
ing.
A child born today will be normal
in all respects. 1t will be subject to
ordinary ailments, possess normal
virtues and display ordinary weak
nesses-will he no better and no
worse than the average child. Your
responsibility viii not, because of
this, be any the less. In order that
it may be taught to accentuate it's
good points and overcome its bad
ones. you should surround 1t at all
times with wholesome influence
and provide for it a good environ

precept. will have a very important

Buster Bear again, but he was hap
PLY surprised. Buster was Snuff ing
along up the old COW path just as he
had done the day before. 1t was quite
clear that Buster and Jimmy Skunk
would meet on the bend in the old
COW path right in front of where
Peter was sitting. Peter was tempted
to warn Jimmy Skunk that Buster
was coming. Jimmy seemed like such
a little fellow compared with Buster
Bear. Why, Buster could crush him
with one paw But Peter didn't warn
Jimmy. and Buster and Jimmy came
face to face on the bend in the old
COW path.
Instantly Jimmy Skunk's big black
and white tail came up over his back
Then a funny thing happened. Bus
ter Bear hurriedly stepped to one side
and left the path clear.
Good morning, Neighbor Skunk, y
said he most politely. I'm glad TO
see you looking so fine this morning.
| hope you are feeling as fine as you
look
Jimmy Skunk said nothing. He
hardly gave Buster Bear so much as
a glance. He didn't hurry a step. He
ambled along in his slow way just
as if Buster Bear were nowhere about.
He didn't even look back.
Buster Bear looked after him,
shook his head and grinned. Buster
looked as if lie felt little bit fool
ish. Then Buster stepped back into
the old COW path and continued on
his way. He soon disappeared among
the bushes. Jimmy Skunk disap-
peared down the old COW path, and
Peter was once more alone.
Once more Peter began to chuckle.
II was right" said Peter to himself.
"This is funny old world. | don't

likeness. First Reddy Fox politely
steps aside for Old Man Coyote, and
Old Man Coyote acts as If he didn't

Old Man Coyote. Then Buster Bear
politely steps aside for Jimmy Skunk,
and Jimmy acts as If he didn't see
Buster. Each acted as if he was SC
Independent that he could do as he
pleased in the Old Pasture, and each
excepting Jimmy Skunk, has politely
