THE FIRST CONCERN.

the “I Dare Say’ column in the
Pittsburgh Press, makesa wise sug-
tion for the foundation of health

COOK!!
After seeing the Exhibit,
After reading the new books,

That the world needs better cooks.
Mebbe if there were a way to
Increase artists’ calories,
We would not be so depressed by
Visits to the galleries.
It was on an empty stomach
Hoper's “Standing Girl" was painted;
And the ‘‘Bathers’” of Carona
Is a bilious-attack, ain't it?
And I'll bet the quiet portrait
That made P. Picasso winner
Was the pure and simple outcome
Of a good, well-balanced dinner
When I read Van Vechten's

Or perhaps some Scylla Seeds."

Radclyffe Hall is undernourished,

And what troubled D. H. Lawrence
Was a lack of vitamine.
And I'm sure that if Stokowski

And not mix his starch with acids
Hoe would not be half so rude.
If you'd look into the diet
Of our favorite movie queen,
Greta Garbo, you would find that
What she needs is more protein.
‘fake that man Mahatma Gandhi—
Things in India might be quiet
If his mamma'd only raised him
On a better balanced diet.
Mebbe Stalin and Herr Hitler
Might not be so full of hate
If they'd take, righut after dinner

And I'll wager Mussolini

If he'd ever started into

All what's wrong with Al Capone
Is, his steaks are underdone.
Mebbe on a meatless diet
He might lay aside his gun.
Be that as it may, dear readers,
When 1 start to write my book,
1 shall fortify my muse with
A Humdinger of a cook.
Meal planning is less difficult if
a few well-established rules are
kept in mind.
The first rule is this. A balanced
diet must be maintained. Unless
one is dieting under a physician's
supervision, protein, carbohydate and
fat must be supplied in definite pro-
portions. It has been estimated
that the minimum calorie require-
ment for a day for adults is 12
calories to each pound of body
weight. Children require. more food
in proportion to their weight than
adults. Ten to 15 per cent fat and
the remaining 60 to 65 per cent
carhohydrates,
Second, organic salis or minerals
must be provided in necessary
amounts. Calcium, - phosphorus, iron,
iodine, copper and other minerals
are important factors in every meal.
Third, the “protective foods or
vitamins are imperative.
Fourth, each meal should contain
something crisp which requires
thorough mastication for the sake
of the teeth.
Fifth a quart of milk a day for
children and a pint for aduits should
be used either in cooking or as a
beverage.
Supplementing these constituents,
bulky foods and water must be in-
cluded.
With the exception of a few con.
centrated foods like sugar, other
elements in addition to the one which
classifies it are found in all foods.
Vegetables which are primarily
sources of starch and s —CAar- |
bohydrates-—also are supplying some |
protein. Cheese is rich both in
protein and fat, although it is con-
sidered a protein food.
The function of each group. of
foods is significant, Mary Swartz
Rose states that “protein food has
an absolute monopoly on the nitro- |
gen supply of the body” and that
“nitrogen enters into the construc-
tion of body proteins which are es-|
sential to the life of every cell and
constitute the most prominent part
of muscle tissue. A child cannot
grew and form strong muscles with-
out it; a full-grown adult cannot
keep in health without it.
Carbohydrates furnish heat and
energy and fats give energy and
reserve force. i
Organic salts or ash constituents are
cleansers and natural blood tonics.
They affect assimilation and are in-
dispensible to sound teeth and strong
bones. The efficiency of each min-
eral salt is increased by the presence
of the others in proper amounts.
The vitamins provide health and
vigor and the power to grow, steady
nerves and have marked effect on |
the appetite. They are, in fact,
“protective” substances, for their

CITIES OF THE FUTURE
By 1980 there will be two races,
aristocrats and groundlings, inhabit-
ing New York.
The aristocrats will live 40 stories
and will never
come down to earth, literally or fig.
uratively. The groundlings, on the
other hand, will do the work of the
world and will live in tunnels and
crypts below ground, never getting
a peak at the sun.
All of this is the prediction of
Dr. John Dewey, Columbia Univer-
sity's famous philosopher, who be-
lieves that the skyscraper is going
to revolutionize society. The sky-
dwelling aristocrats, he says, will
develop a religion based on sun-wor-
ship, because of their proximity to
the sun; the groundlings will invent
a religion related to the ancient con-
ceptions of Hades.
This is anilitetesting picture, even
if slightly dizzy. r. Dewey is
known as a sober and weighty think-
er. But on this occasion one is com-
pelled to remark that he has been
indulging in a gaudy pipe dream.
Besides, it is not a new pipe
dream. H. G. Wells painted the
same picture upwards of twenty
years ago in his imaginative novel,
“The Time Machine.” To date we
do not seem to have progressed any
nearer to it, and with all respect in
the world to Dr. Dewey it seems
rather obvious that the tide is be-
ginning to set in the other direction.
Skyscrapers are going up rapidly,
even where they are not needed;
but for every skyscrapr that is
erected, three new subdivisions are
plotted on the outskirts. These mag-
nificient towers of steel are lovely
to look at--at least some of them
are—but they have not yet eradicat-
ed the average man's desire to have
a place for himself close to the
earth, with room for a tiny garden
and a bit of lawn, and they never
will; for that desire goes down to
the roots of being, and is a very
hard thing to down permanently.
If Dr. Dewey's prediction comes
true it will simply be because the
human race, as a whole, is a great
deal dumber than its severest critics
have suspected. For we are just
beginning to get into our hands the
weapons with which we can make
our cities into decent places to live.
The automobile, the electric train,
the express highway and the air-
plane, these are the things with which
we can enable ourselves to live far
out on the edge of the city in which
we work. If we don't take ad-
vantage of them we deserve the
fate that Dr. Dewey has outlined
for us,
For the city, when all is said and
done, is a poor sort of place to
live; and the 60-story apartment
house is the worst the city has to
offer. The poorest suburb, with its
untidy streets, its unsightly perry-
built houses and its microscopic
lawns, is a better proposition.
“BLIND TOM” ONCE FAMOUS
COLORED PIANO PLAYER
Blind Tom was a Negro musical
prodigy, born on a plantation near
Columbus, Ga., some time between
the years 1849 and 1853, where his
parents lived as the slaves of Gen-
He was
born blind, with a week mental
development, but had a marvelous
imitative quality. In early child-
hood he imitated the cries of farm
animals, the call of the birds, and
the sound of the wind and the rain.
At night he would steal into the
house of his master and imitate on
the piano pieces he had heard others
playing during the day.
His ability to reproduce so aAccui-
ately on the piano musical compo-
sitions he heard others play led to
his stage appearances, and he was
exhibited in various cities through-
out the United States and in London
between the years 1861 and 1873.
Durig his public appearances he
often played one melody with his
right hand and another with his
left, singing or whistling a third as
frequently the classic composition of
Bach, Chopin and Mendelessohn as
“Yankee Doodle,” “Sailor's Horn-
pipe” or other pieces of that class.
Often when applauded at the con.
clusion of a difficult composition on
the piano Blind Tom would rise from
his chair, walk to the front of the
stage and clap his hands enthusi-
astically.
Blind Tom also imitated the sounds
of other musical instruments and
del.vered addresses in foreign lan-
guages without understanding a
word of it.
He reappeared on the stage in
1904, but being difficult to manage,
was soon withdrawn. He made his
last appearance at the Circle Thea-
tre, New York, in that year. He
died at Hoboken, N. J, June 13,
1908, where he had lived for several
years.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

' State Boundaries Long
Matter of Disputation
For a great many years the boun-
dary between the colony of New York
and Massachusetts was in dispute, The
government of New York maintained
that the eastern limit was the Con
necticut river, basing its claim upon a |
Dutch title. The Massachusetts gove
ernment claimed territory westward as
far as the Hudson river. For the pur-
pose of establishing this claim the
Boston government In 1659 made a
grant of land on the Hudson river
below Fort Orange and in 1672 sent
John Payne to New York to solicit
permission to pass and repass by wa-
ter. He was most courteously re-
celved, but the claim was never rece
ognized. The dispute finally reached
such a stage, resulting in riots, ete,
that it was submitted to the lord
commissioners of trade of Fngzland,
and George II In 1757, by royal order
in council, determined the boundary,
granting the territory to New York.
This was still not acceptable until
1773, when commissioners from New
York and Massachusetts met and fi-
nally decided the boundary according
to the present lines.
Long Line of “Caesars”
in Annals of Old Rome
Caesar was the surname of a re-
nowned branch of a line of Roman
patrician generals with the forename
Julia. They claimed descent from the
sons of Aeneas, the mythical Tulus.
Sextus Julius Caeser, a praetor in
208 B. C., is the earliest by that name
to be mentioned In history. No direct
male descendant was left to bear the
name of the great Julius Caesar. Oec-
tavius, whom he had adopted and who
later became the Emperor Augustus,
took the name. The name passed, algo
through adoption, from Augustus to
his immediate successors, Tiberius
and Caligula. The use of the name
was tontinued by Claudius and Nero,
although they were not Julil. When
Nero was killed, the use of Caesar
as a family name was discontinued
and it became the title of the reign.
ing emperor. The title Caesar was
used later to designate especially the
heir presumptive, although it con.
tinued to remain part of the imperial
title, It is from the title Caesar that
those of the former Russian czars and
German kaisers were derived.
Famous Old English Inn
The name of the Lion tavern fig
ures continually in the records of old-
time Shrewsbury, England. It was
one of the great centers of social life
from an early date, In this pictur
esque old town on the border of
Wales. Its exquisite ballroom, de-
signed and decorated hy the Adam
brothers, Is alone well worth a pil-
grimage. Famous feet have trod its

Charles Dickens, accompanied by
“Phiz,” was accommodated in what
was then the annex, and wrote to his
daughter of “the strangest little
rooms, the ceilings of which I can
touch with my hand,” and how “the
windows bulged out over the street
as if they were the little stern win-
dows of a ship.” The same little win-
dows still bulge &nd the lovely Adam

A Relic
Little Roger, spending a holiday on
his grandfather's farm, was ‘permitted
to begulle the hours of a wet day by
turning over the leaves of the family
Yible.
Suddenly he looked up from the
faded pages and quaint pictures and
~alled out:
uSee what I've found, grannie!”
In his hand he held a leat, old and
dry, and after a few moments’ reflec-
lon he added: . :
“Do you think it belonged to Adam
and Bve, grannie?”
0. K. With Mother
One day, while entertaining a guest,
Edwin's mother was called to the
phone. Edwin promptly disappeared
from the room to return with an ex-
pensive looking box of chocolates.
After giving several to the guests, Ed-
win selected some for himself.
“Are you sure your mother knows
we're eating this candy?’ the guest
asked,
“Sure!” sald Edwin. “Didn't you
gee her frown and shake her head
when I came through the hall with it?”

tional students at the Pennsylvania

—In pruning young trees have in

tree will look like. Proper train-
ing of young trees, which includes
light pruning, will result in a strong
framework of well spaced branches.
Profitable production and early bear-
ing are the objectives.
When in bud, bulbs should be
kept in a sunny place and given
occasional applications of plant food.
After the flowers have opened, re-
move the plants to a cooler and
partly shaded location so as to
keep the blooms from fading early.
—A farm inventory is the first
step in keeping farm accounts. On
the average farm it requires about
one-half a day to take ‘t.
~Pullets’ eggs usually do not bring
as high a price on the market asdo
hens’ eggs; therefore, it is to the
advantage of the poultryman to
bring the eggs up to normal size as
soon as possible.
—Grain, oyster shell and water
are other essentials in a laying
ration, Milk is an excellent poul-
try feed and may be substituted for
one-half the meat scraps in the
mash, if it is kept before the hens
all the time.
The richness of cow's milk is a
matter of inheritance and not of
feed. Certain factors do influence
the test, such as breed and stage of
lactation.
“There is nothing which will im-
prove the quality of summer eggs
more than the production of infertile
eggs. This means that all roosters
should be removed from the breed-
ing flocks just as soon as hatching
eggs are no longer needed.
Records show that fall fresh-
ening cows will produce 15 per cent
or more of fat than where spring
freshening is the rule.
~A temporary surplus of dairy
roducts caused by low buying power
nu the part of the consumer makes
necessary a dairy program that in-
cludes more rigid culling of the
| dairy herds, feeding in proportion
to production reduction or saving of
labor on the care of the dairy herd,
and vealing of all calves except
those from the best cows.
Milk from cows suffering from
diseases such as tuberculosis, foot
and mouth diseases, etc., is unsafe
for consumption because of its dan-
ger of containing the germ of these
diseases.
The progressive steps in grow-
ing a beef steer are first to develop
by continuous growth a large frame
well covered with muscle and never
entirely denuded of fat; then to de-
posit on this freme the fat necessary
to give the animal the desired finish,
To achieve the first step requires a
ration rich in bone and muscle-
building feeds such as whole milk,
skim milk, roots, ensilages, legume
hays and grains, such as bran, oats
and oil cake meal. To achieve the
second step requires a somewhat
similar ration at first, but this must
be gradually changed to one contain-

—There is a tendency on some
dairy farms to feed too much high
protein grain to dairy cows, with
the result that they have to be sent
to the butcher within two or three
such as
years because of udder trouble or
failure to breed
If such practices meant increased
profits, dairymen would be justified
in following them; but such is not
the case. There is too much money
spent for grain, too little attention
paid to the raising of the right kind
of hay, and too heavy depreciation
yon the cows. :
The. average lifetime of the cows
in a herd should be five years, or
‘five milking periods. When cows
‘are fed properly they will calf every
year, if there is no abortion in the
‘herd, and produce well year after
|year. In other words, we will get
|the most 1ailk from a herd of cows
lover a period of five years when the
‘amount of grain fed is not too heavy,
and when the grain ratios fits the
‘roughage fed. If we want a cow to
| stay in our herd any length of time,
'we must be careful not to overfeed
i her.

and legume hay must largely re-

| grown profitably. Allowance should
| be made for at least 30 to 40 pounds
| per day. He says that it is possible
|to put on again of about 200 pounds

Pretzel Legend
Pretzels, according to the accepted |
legend, originated in the monasteries
of the Middle Ages. It was the cus-
tom of the priests to give a small
cake to children who learned their
prayers. The cake was called pre-
tiola, meaning “little reward.”
One day an ingenious priest thought
to make the pretiola symbolical, so
he folded the strip of dough to repre-
sent the folded arms of children in
the attitude of prayer.
