S?Th. diet ud has raised a problem

.J. where husbands think their wives
'KB be made Immediately to feed the'
mould oe m family on lwnty-nvnv
cents a day per per
roii because It has
been done In the diet
squad test at the
Lighthouse, IB:? West
Lehigh avenue, where
we eight persons have
been getting our meals
for that much under
scientific direction of
the Life Extension
Institute.
The diet squad
members . who have
heard of this are
sorry that such an
Incident should come.
tlSETTA NEUKOM
I heard tho accusa
tion from the llps'of a
tiMlnjton woman at the Lighthouse. She
'Hid' "This squad will bo tho means of
'Jrwidn up homes. Men think their wives
timid be able to fce1 tllem 8m' tne,p famI"
Je on twenty-flvo centH a head, too, be
mum It can be done on the squad. I know
Jnaman who had a fearful fight 'with his
wlfc because she cannot do It."
SQUAD EDUCATIONAL
'ghe was angry about the squad, and she
ild'not seem to realize that the squad Is
a educational matter, and that women can
Jot' be expected to be able to. accomplish
tti thing In a day or a minute.
Sh herself took tho stand of an Irate
foiband.
And she herself denounced the diet squad.
Likely there are In the city of Philadel
phia many other persons who feel Just as
till poman does.
r' Now on this the last day of the two
tMta' twenty-flve-cents-a-day squad, I
wnt to try to tell a few things that havo
teen told to us by eminent speakers con
cerning this very question that men expect
their wives to do this thing Immediately.
The aim of the diet squad Is not to maka
"yeople live on twenty-five cents a day, al
tloulh It can bo done. The aim Is to teach
'eopl that .they do live too extravagantly
'till that they can uso cheaper foods 'which
lave large food value and dispense with tho
ejenslvo ones which havo little nourlsh
jnint. '
! TO ELIMINATE WASTE
' The aim Is also to eliminate waste and
teich the American housewife to stop wast
tar. ' Dr. Alonzo E. Taylor, for Instance, told
u that In this country It has been found
about one-third of the entire, food supply Is
.tasted. lie said this same tiling had held
true In England before the war.
' "But the war has changed a great deal
ft the waste In England," he said. "For
Instance, I found that-since tho Government
it England has cut down a loaf of bread a
Veek for each person that loaf of bread Is
med, not wasted. In a family of six, for
, balance, before tho war thirty-six loaves
jf bread were eaten. Now there are thirty
loaves of bread to the same family. But

ttle people get Just as much food and the
six loaves are not missed, because tho peo
ple eat the whole thirty loaves Instead of
eating Just thjrty nnd wasting the six."
Doctor Taylor said the same thing Is true
in this country. He nays the matter of re
ducing the cost of living Is one education and
the nation cannot expect to do it In a day.
Harvey M. Watts, of the Pudmc Lbdcikr,
told us a similar thing. He told how a can
vass of the garbago of the city of New
lork showed that the people of tho poorer
districts had much more mrh.iirn thnii ntlipr
sections of the city had In comparison.
mc iiuiu iieaHani wno comes to uus
country loses his habits of thrift," said Mr.
Watts. "He hears ho Is In a land of plenty,
and, of course. Is earning more money than
he ever did beforo In his life, so he thinks It
Is not necessary to save, and lin docs not."
He said, too, that In this country wo have
a tradition that teaches, "If you would
live well, live extravagantly."
The diet squad Is alining not to teach
that a family can live on Just twenty-flvo
cents a day and no more, but that It can
live and get enough nourlhnient to carry
on dally tasks and rebuild body tissues on
much less limit Is being, spent today l( tho
wife but kno how to buy foods and pre
pare them so' (bat tho maximum nourish
ment Is obtained.
C. S. Kates, chairman of tho food values
committee of the Mayor's food Investigation
commission, told me that he knew that a
diet squad had passed the experimental
stage and that It bad reached the demon
stration period.
"It Is now a question of how wo can
teach the American housewife how she can
buy and prepare nourishing food for her
family," he said, "and for that reason
our committee, consisting of some of the
leading food value fxperts In tho United
States, has recommended to tho Mayor that
we have a great demonstration and let the
women of Philadelphia see how this can be
done. We suggest that Horticultural Hall
bo used for two weeks, starting the last
week In April, and that we make meals for
five, six, eight and twelve cents, as they
have been done on the diet squad at the
Lighthouse.
"This diet squad movement must not stop
when the two weeks' are over. We must
get the message over to the American
housewife. And we hope to do It In Phila
delphia with the aid of from 5000 to 20,000
social workers and dietitians and nurses
all aiding in the education of the Amer
ican housewife."
Another man told mo that he knew It
was Impossible for women to learn these
things Immediately, and he thought It a
shame that some of the Philadelphia hus
bands should blame their wives nnd threat
en to reduce the housekeeping budget be
cause tho diet squad could live on twenty
five cents a day per person and his wife
couldn't.
"It, Is a matter of education," that Is
what we havo heard every day from the
eminent speakers who have been with us.
From Dr. Eugenq Lyman Flsk, the
director of the Lift Extension Institute,
down on through all the speakers It Has
been the same story.
Taking the consensus of opinion, most
of the women are not to blame. All they
need is a chance. They are Just as
anxious to reduce the cost of living as
their husbands.
We eight members of the squad hope
wo have helped blaze a trail and that tho
work will go on and that we havo not
"dieted In vain."

A STORY FOR SPARE MOMENTS
When the Ghost Came

W cald Carrion. Then fie turned to the
agent. "What's your opinion?" he asked
sharply.
The agent looked unhappy. He possessed
a noncomformjst conscience, which at nil
times he found hard to reconrlln with his
profession.
"I wasn't living In Thorndyke at tho
time ft happened, sir," he nnswercd diplo
matically, "and you know what village gos
sip Is."
"Then, nf course, you don't happen to
bellevo In this particular story yourself?"
Inquired Garden, a Irlfle maliciously,
Tho agent willed visibly.
"11 really don't know what to bellevo,"
he answered frankly. "Thero are more
things In heaven and earlh and, nnjliow.
It's a' fine property," he exclaimed In a
burnt of enthusiasm.
"I agreo with you there." said f'nrrien,
Irnnsferrlnir his gaze from tho agent lo the
house a square, substantial affair, built
of gray granite, up one- side of which clung
n magnificent creeper, one blazo of crimson
tendrils.
"Ghost or no ghost, t'm Inclined to risk

"That fil Ilko to hear morn about thst
ghost beforo venturing an opinion," re
turned Marrlot, "Remember, JL'vn only
heard scraps of the story up to now. 11
has something to do with that creeper,
hasn't It?" H jerked his head In tho direc
tion of tho flaming wall of leaves.
"My dear chap, that Is the ghost," re
torted Garden Impressively. "That creeper
Is tho reason why people slink past tho
garden fence o' nights and tho villagers
will not enter the house for lovo or money.
"Briefly, somo four years ago a myster
ious foreign gentleman took tho Grey house
on a long lease. Ho was accompanied by
a charming girl, many years his Junior, who,
It nppears, had extraordinarily long and
silky black hair. The relationship between
the two was doubtful, and was never ex
plained by tho pair, who kept to themselves
and refused to have nny dealings with tho
county people.
"They were hero for six months, nnd
then suddenly." he flung out ono hand
dramatically, "they wero hero no more. One
flno morning they had vanished, lock, stock
and barrel : but now comes the btrangest
part ofV tho story for tho first time a
curious Bcarlet creeper clung about tho
house. .
"you seo where It twines red arms round
that first-floor window? Well, gossip will
tell you that some time at night a man's
head Is seen leaning out of tho window,
with long tendrils of the creeper winding
about his neck. It seems to me rnthcr a
wild story."
"You might add. sir," Interrupted the
agent, "that although the mysterious
creeper has been cut down several times,
It has always grown again."
."And what Is the explanation of It all?"
asked Marrlot curiously.
The agent cleared his throat. "Well, of
course, It's all nonsense, sir," ho began
apologetically; "but the village says that
tho gentleman murder:'. the lady thero
was quarreling heard m tho night. It seems
and that the creeper Is her ghost."
"What absolute jot It all Is !" broke In
Carden Impatiently.
But Marrlot shook his head. "I shouldn't
take the house If I were you, old chap,"
he said seriously. "Thero seems to mo
something ominous about It. I felt It as I
rode up. I feel It standing here and I don't
like tho looks of that creeper, cither. It's
so confoundedly red."
"Nonsense!" retorted Carden. "I think
It rather an Improvement myself. It brings
up tho color of that old gray stono bo splen
didly. Anyhow, I think I'll risk It. I've no
objection to a ghost myself, especially a
young and pretty one."
A little breeze sprang suaueniy up ana
stirred the leaves of tho creeper, so that
they shook with a pleasant rustling sound.
Carden took, a step nearer, and laid one
hand upon the 6rImson leaves. It was ri
diculous, of course, and It wouldn't do to
tell the others, but ns he touched the
creeper It was as If the soft, cool palm of
a woman's hand had curled daintily Into
his.
A few we"eks later found Carden In
stalled In his new domain. Partly out of
a sense of bravado, and partly because It
happened to bo the best room In the house,
ho chose for his own the ono round the
window of which tho creeper clung with
slender scarlet arras.
The first night or two, a little, perhaps,
to his relief, although he told himself ho
was disappointed, he slept soundly, a long,
heavy slumber, unbroken by dreams. But
the third night he awoke suddenly to u
feeling of Intense discomfort. It was ,is
If he wero being strangled In his sleep.
He sat up sharply ln bed and switched
on the light.

flowing loosely upon her shoulders, and

that fell open at the throat, stood by the
bedside. But, ecn as he started, amazed,
she vanished and there was only tho heavy
scent of the creeper twining about the
open window In the room.
When he awoke the next morning a few
faded red leaves lay upon the parquet by
his bed. His Angers trembled sljKhtly as
ho stooped and picked them up. lie trem
bled more a minute after, for olico again,
as ho touched them, It was as If a woman's
hand had clasped his own.
Marrlot, who, under protest, was slay
ing with him, looked at him curiously as
hn sat opposite to him at breakfast,
"Seen anything of the ghost, old chap?"
he Inquired, with well-feigned careless
ness. For n moment Garden hesitated, then
"No," ho answered curtly, so curtly that
Marrlot. seeing that for somo reason hn
was annoyed, changed the conversation.
That evening, as they sat. on tho lawn
after dinner. Pardon saw tho woman In
red ngaln. She was loaning out of his
bedroom window, her chin propped In her
two whltn' hands. The moon was up, so ho
could see her quite distinctly.
A plait of long black hair fell like an
ebon streak across ono shoulder; her mouth
was a scarlet streak In tho whiteness of
her face. She was smiling, a little pensive
smllo that dream, ghost or living woman
rendered her absolutely adorable.
,Ho started nervously when Marrlol ad
dressed him. "By Jove! how sinister that
creeper looks In the moonlight," ho said.
Garden found himself looking stupidly
at an empty window showing dark against
the night.
"That's because you don't know It," he
began, dreamily, then stopped.
Marrlot said nothing, but Parden, busily
engaged In replenishing his pipe, had an
Idea that once again, as at breakfast, he
looked at him sharply.
It was only Inter on, when they sepa
rated for the night, that, seemingly Irrele
vantly, ho said: "I say, Carden, about that
ghost, you know; 1 should fight shy of her
if she were to visit roll. ... ladv who has
been done to death by ono man Is not likely
to feel enamored of the rest of the sex."
Ho remembered afterward that there had
been a note of fear as well as of contempt
In the bolsterousness of tho laughter with
which Parden had gteetcd his remark.
Hut Garden, when be found himself alone
In his room, so full of the subtle scent of
the creeper that his sense almost reeled,
even to himself admitted no thought of
fear. When he discovered that the wind
had blown a few of the red leaves upon his
pillow, where they lay glimmering ln the
electric light like great splashes of blood,
he only laughed ngaln and kissed them as
recklessly as he would havo kissed, had she
been there, the woman's mouth.
Ho was late for breakfast tho next morn
ing so lato that MarrloW after long wait
ing, went and knocked loudly at his bed
room door. No answer camo back then
or afterward.
When Marrlot. alarmed nt last, broke
open the door, the first glance showed him
an empty, tumbled bed. The second glance
showed him Carden kneeling at the open
window. Wound tightly round his neck like
the arms of a woman, wero two long, slen
der strips of crimson creeper.
Carden himself was dead.
