husband is a hard job. A girl has to
watch out for so many things-has
to check UP so carefully on his good
qualities and bad oneS-that it's no
cinch to select Just the ideal mate.
And there are so many times when
the hesitating maiden must make an
important decision-when she must
decide for herself whether some
quality in her man is a. praiseworthy
or a blameworthy one.
1t happens often that she finds, to
her dismay, there Is a grave fault in
been regarding as a virtue.
Or perhaps she discovers too late
that some flaw in him which has an
noyed and bothered her is really evil
dence of his character and worth.
One of the tricky points m..ny girls
have to take up with themselves is
the question Of whether their own par
ticular hero is engaged in the praise
worthy business of Saving" or
whether he's just getting the detest-
able habit of Tightening up.
Bernice was pleased and full Of ap.
proving admiration when Fred an
nounced that he was tired of carry
ing dishonorable debts; that he meant
a.
pennies, give up idle sQuanderin7 and
try to build up a nice bank account.
She helped him enthusiastically
was willing to give up expensive the
ater tickets and high-priced night
clubs for the sake of the future.
Even when he cut down on flowers
and candy she understood and with a
trusting smile waited for the day
when he should relieve himself of the
old debts and start out with q. fresh
sheet of paper.
But that day when it came WASH
the happy event she expected 1t to
be. Fred still looked worried and
drawn. although free Of debts and
with q good income, he hadn't much
financially to worry about.
] But he worried. And after while
he bothered Bernice. She found that
Fred was getting into the habit of
arguing with everybody about prices.
He couldn't buy a dinner without
Quarreling with the waiter about the
check.
His tips were insignificant. His
presents to the lady of his heart took
On the nature of remembranees.
He explained all these strange
economies by saying that now he'd
learned to save. he hated to go back
TO the old gay. foolish spending.
which had placed him In debt.
Bernice foohshly accepted his
words M bits of infinite wisdom
and stuck up for him valiantly in
the face Of all criticism.
She continued to help him save
and he continued to ''tighten-up"
that n. to grow stingier and more
grasping. His poor sweetheart de-
luded herself with the vain hope
that hia new habit was a. good one.
A wiser girl would have known that
Il waS a danger signal for the future
and would have put stop to 1t
one way or another.
On the other hand, had Fred really
been In earnest about saving. with no
thought save Of Bernice's future, she
would have no right to accuse him of
tightening up. however drastic his
economies.
The wise maiden watches carefully
and learnes to distinguish between
these two forms of economy.
When she finds that her man is
past the necessity of being economi-
cal and still scrimps and saves just
for sheer love Of noney-getting, she
must call halt in the proceedings.

Food Groups.

In order to know what elements
foods yield, It is simplest to put them
into groups or classes.
Group I includes milk. eggs, cheese
of various kinds, meat Except the
fattest). fish and also two of the
Iegumes, namely soy beans and pea
nuts. These are complete proteins.
The protein In the foods of this group
can be used with special advantages
by the body. These are the foods
which especially make and repair body
tissues.
Group II-CereaIs and cereal prep.
arations form one part Of the carlo.
hydrate or energy class of foods. that
is, they furnish fuel TO keep the body
working.
Though cereal products contain a
very large amount of starch, which
puts them in the carbohydrate group
| or energy contributors, they also con
| tain large amounts of protein, and un'
less the outer cOatings Of the grains
| and the germ have been removed by
| milling, they also furnish vitamtns
and considerable amounts OF mineral
substances particularly phosphorus
as wei as lime and iron.
Group III includes sugar and sugary
foods, namely sugar, strip. molasses
honey, preserves, jellies, jams, marina
ladies' and candy. These foods are the
second part of the carbohydrate or
energy class. They are fuel foods.

Your Baby and Mine

Strike Echo in Frisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. %, (By
MaiD. - Speaking to the Central
Labor Council here on company union
ism, William Green, president of the
A. f. Of L. was astounded when the
delegates loudly applauded his state
ment that company unionism in the
mines of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company had failed to prevent a,
strike or many Of the workers from
joining the I. w. w.
Green said: To-day I received in
formation that the product of the Col
orado Fuel and Iron Company had
broken down completely because the
workers, all members of the Rookie
teller company union, have joined the
I. w. w. and have declared a strike"

outbreak of laughter and handicap
ping.
No Word For Mooney
Green, thruout his speech was en-
phatic in the eulogy to the accomplish
n1ents of the A. F. of L., both locally
and nationally. He never realized an

ued, old Mrs. Mooney, mother of Tom
Mooney was sitting there, listening
eagerly for some words of assurance,
some encouragement, some words
from the president of the A. F. of L.,
of which Tom Mooney is a member,
to give her hope that her martyr-son
has the backing of organized labor and
that the A. F. of L. will fight for his
freedom.
All that time she waited and won
dered and finally left the hall, not
knowing and not understanding that
the bureaucrats in the A. F. of L. are
more interested in stabilizing capital
ism than in freeing workers fhom jail.
The Mooney case was not mentioned,
neither by Green nor by any of the
other speakers.
