| is up to the wife to make such cir
cumStanceS as easy as poSSible--and
even to permit her husband to suppose
that his efforts alone are responsible
for satisfactory results.
To have actually done the cooking
of a meal is a matter of Self-congratula-
| ton to a man ION his own" and 1t Is
I a wise method to lay in supply OF raw
foods which can be very simply made
ready. with a few already prepared
dishes which he can fall back upon in
| nary adventure.
Lamb chops, small steak, veal chops
or ham are among the meats which
may have been ordered beforehand and
put In the ice box II the interval is
to be one of some duration, such orders
may be placed with the butcher. Meat
balls sufficient for one person can be
made from one-third of a pound Of
round" steak. Eggs should be at hand
and some bacon. Cold meat in the
form Of roast Is very welcome.
The emergency" supply can include
either macaroni baked with cheese or
creamed caulifiower, apple sauce or
stewed rhubarb. The latter items may
serve either as a relish or. in the ab-
sence Of anything more elaborate, as
dessert. Raw celery and carrots are two
vegetables which keep well. The for
mer may be used without any prepara-
tions, and the latter with very little.
Potatoes, of course, are required. Di-
rections for boiling, baking and frying
may be left.
The usual breakfast of fruit, cereal,
coffee. toast and eggs is not hard for a
man to prepare, especially II one of the
many cold cereals is employed. The

pletes the rest of ones toilet. Even
il it happens to boil over on gas or
electric stove, no great harm is done.
On an oil stove it should be avoided.
InaSmuch as few men have a taste
for dishwashing, the wife may as we'll
face the fact that il will not be done
in her best style, and advise in the
matter Of simplifying the methods. To
dry by draining is all right. provided
dishes are perfectly clean. Soap pow

used on metal or enamelware. It should
be advised that no fat be poured down

be on hand If one would spare ones

For canned goods It is wise to pro-
vide one or two cans Of favorite SOUP

which are not easily prepared by man
for instance, string beans and either
spinach or squash. Avoid tomato, as 1t
needs too much attention before serving,

The most important reason for eating
Is obvious. We eat because We get
hungry. Hunger Is one Of the most
primitive instincts. We eat to sustain
life.
But this is not the whole story. We
do not eat merely 10 1--we. We some
times reverse the process and live to
eat. Taking In food is the chief source
Of pleasure To great many people.
Moreover, we often eat when we are
not hungry. On Sundays and holidays
people eat great deal more than usual,
especially candy and fruit They keep on
eating long after their appetite is ap-
peased Idleness and uneasii1ess are
common causes for eating and more
especially for overeating.
The eSthetic motives for taking
nourishment must not be overlooked.
Clean, wholesome food, and a healthy
appetite are not the only necessities for
a good dinner. We eat in expensive
hotels because we get service along with
the food, fancy linen, cut flowers. music,
Atmosphere"
Another proof Of the esthetic appeal
In eating is that we insist on pleasant
topics Of conversation during the meal
hour.
Food and eating play 80 important a
role In our daily program that we are
rightly accused OF being food~minded.
This means that we think I'm terms OF
food even In our religious rites and
ceremonies. Our food attitude is re-
fiected In the words we use In cOnnec-

''If you repeat that performance
in this court again." Judge Harry
II. Thomas rebuked the mother, "I
will have you jailed for contempt
OF court"
II don't give - If you
DO" retorted Mrs. Dixon.
Judge Thomas promptly fined her
SO for assault. $40 for contempt of
court and sentenced her, in addi-
ton. to 10 days in Jail. Kicking.
screaming. and shouting maledic-
tons at the judge, the young
mother was carried bodily from the
courtroom.
Her two children--a boy and a
girl. and 3 years old, respectively
were crying with fright as they
were. led away to the office of the
superintendent OF the welfare board.
The Dixons were brought into
court because of domestic troubles.
Welfare agents told the judge that
the children were being reared in
an unwholesome atmosphere. He
ordered the youngsters removed

Efforts Of Ohio utility interests
TO distribute alleged power trust
propaganda in Ohio schools and
colleges were revealed today before
the Federal Trade Commissions
power inquiry.
Fred J. Bollmeyer, OF Cleveland,
director of the Ohio committee on
public utility information, declared
that the committee spent nearly
$40, 900 in providing 100000 pamph.
let's for Ohio schools.
Between 10000 and $4,000 were
sent to Cleveland high schools
through the cooperation of Charles
l.. Lake, assistant superintendent
of schools, Bollmeyer said.
In 1926 about $4,000 copies of the
textbook, called "Aladdins of In
dustry" were broadcast over the
state. There were so public addresses
by< paid speakers, and 625 out of 700
Ohio papers printed press releases
sent out by the committee, said
Bollmeyer.

Joint committee OF national utility
associations. 1t was dated March
Is, 1928, and made to the order of
Lenroots law firm. The first $4,000
was made out to Lenroot.
The note on the voucher for the
second check read 'for special pub

maintained the fee was for legal

of Ohio textbooks i'll 1924 and then
