OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
THE STRUGGLES OF A WIFE
By Virginia Tcrhune Van de Water
CHAPTER XXXVm
Copyright, 1916, Star Company
When Myra and Grace were seated at
the small table assigned them in the
large diningroom, they looked about
.them with interest.
"The hotel is evidently very full,"
Myra remarked after a while. "And
as the people are all strangers to us,
we need not mind If we are some
what travel-worn."
Grace did not respond and Myra was
aware that her remark had been un
heeded. Following the direction tn
which her daughter was looking, the
Older woman's attention was arrested
by a young girl sitting on the other
»ld e of the room.
She was pretty enough to make any
body look at her a second time, and
Ihe was faultlessly attired —almost too
elaborately gowned for an evening at
a country hotel, was Myra's secret
criticism.
Two men were standing by the table
talking to her. They had evidently
started to leave the ainingroom and
had paused here on their way out.
"She's pretty, isn't she?" was My
ra's comment. "And the men evidently
think so too."
"Yes," Grace said slowly, without
taking her eyes from the group. "She
Is wonderful, isn't she?"
She stopped abruptly and started
Slightly. One of the men had sud
denly turned in her direction and she
Baw his face plainly.
She Sees a Friend
"What's the matter?" Myra asked.
"Oh. nothing," Grace rejoined, look
ing quickly away. "Only I have met
that man before, months and months
avo. He would not remember me."
"Who is he?" the mother inquired
Interestedly.
"His name is Dayton—Henry Day
ton," Grace returned. "Ah, here is
our waiter. Let us give our order. I
feel as if I needed something to eat. I
really believe that I am hungry."
Dinner over, they strolled out up
on the veranda where people were
Bitting and standing, chatting mer
rily.
In the valley stretching away from
the front of the hotel the lights were
appearing in the windows of farm
houses. Over in the east the moon
v as slowly rising. The night air uai
fresh and fragrant.
It was all very beautiful, Myra
thought, and yet she was conscious of
a, weight of homesickness oppressing
her. She wondered what Horace was
doing now. Glancing at Grace she
saw that she, too, looked depressed.
"Dear, you are very tired." the
mother said, laying :ier hand on her
daughter's arm. "Suppose we go up-
Btairs and get ready ror bed."
"Yes, and we have to unpack our
trunks yet," the girl rejoined with a
sigh.
As they started toward the front
daor two girls and a young man came
out upon the veranaa. One of the
girls looked back over her shoulder
end the light from the chandelier fell
upon her face. Myra and Grace rec
ognized the beauty who had caught

their attention an nour ago in the
diningroom.
"What are you watting for, Sylvia?"
asked her companion.
"I was looking for Mr. Dayton." was
the answer. "I think he expects to
go with us."
The -Man Remembers
"Oh. don't wait for him, Miss Ains
lie," the young man urged. "We'll
have a good time without hlra."
The trio went towards the steps,
and Grace and her mother crossed the
hall and started upstairs. Half way
up they met a man coming down. At
sight of them he drew to one side to
allow them to pass.
Myra would have gone on with a
bow of acknowledgment of his cour
tesy, but an exclamation from htm
made her stop abruptly. He was
looking past her and at Grace.
"Why, Miss Webb!" he exclaimed.
"This is a great pleasure" I did not
know you were this side of New
York."
"I only came this evening." she ex
plained, shaking hands with him.
Then, "Mother," she said, "may I in
troduce Mr. Dayton?"
Myra found herself clasping the
hand of a tall young fellow with a sun
tanned face, deep blue eyes and a
mass of light hair. She liked him In
stinctively before he had spoken a
word to her.
"I was Ju»t telling Miss Webb," he
announced, "that it Is an unexpected
pleasure to meet her here. She and
j 1 met at a dance over a year ago. I
,am glad 1 have not gone entirely from
her memory. I caught a glimpse of
1 her on the street last winter, but she
was so proud and haughty"—he
iaughed boyishly—"that she would not
even recognize me."
Grace blushed, but did not contra
idict him.
"Are you going to be here long?"
he asked Mrs. Webb.
"For a month," she replied. "My
daughter has not been well and we
are hoping great things from the
change of air for her."
"You don't look 111 a bit," he told
Grace.
Indeed at this moment she looked
wonderfully pretty, the mother no
ticed.
"I am to b® here a month more,
too," the man said. "I am taking six
weeks' vacation this summer. I
hope," turning to Grace, "we may have
some tennis together and" —
"Oh, Mr. Dayton,'* a voice from the
front door summoned htm. The girl
whose companion had addressed her
as Sylvia stood there. "We are wait
ing for you," she called.
"I am coming, Miss Ainslie," he re
sponded cheerily. "Then, I shall hope
to see you both to-morrow." he said
to Grace. And with a bow to her
and her mother, he was gone to where
Sylvia Ainslie stood waiting for him.
Alone in their room Myra spoke out
!ier thoughts. "What a charming
;ind good-looking chap Mr. Dayton
'is," she commented.
! "Yes." said Grace, "I like him. But."
; hesitatingly, "you know, mother, he
lis a rich man and. therefore, not In
my set."

Every girl needs such a coat as this om
It completely covers and protects the
{rock, it is easy to slip on and off and it if
available for many different uses. Here
it is made of a light weight wool material
and without a hning. The cloth shows
black and white checks and the trimming
is pale green linen. The combination oi
materials is a much liked one and it is
smart and attractive. If the coat were
wanted for the automobile, it would
be well to use a little heavier materia!
or perhaps to line with something warmer,
for motoring is a cool snort whatever the
thermometer may register. For travel
and for general wear, the coat illustrated
is as good as anything that could be
offered although it co; ld of course be
made from a light weight serge or from
gabardine to be eaually correct and
equally desirable. Dark blue serge
would be pretty with collar, cuffs and
belt of plaid taffeta.
For the ia year size will be needed, 4
yards of material 36 inches wide, 3*l
yards 44 or 2% yards 54, with H yard 36
inches wide for the trimming.

ACCORDING TO THE PUBLISHERS
It is said that unbound copies of
The Hate Breeders, Ednah Aiken's
"frightful" war play, nre being: sent In
to Germany via the balloon route by
the antiwar Socialists. Hundreds of
balloons have been specially made for
use in this campaign. To each is
attached a wicker cage containing
manifestoes in German. When the
wind blows south or southwest the
Lalloons are released from Switzerland,
when west from Holland, and w-hen
from the north from Denmark, in the
hope that they will reach a German
destination. The Hate Breeders is
said to be the only piece of American
made literature that the Socialists are
using.
ACCORDING TO THE FORMULA
A tramp knocked at a kitchen door
and said: "Please, kind lady, I'm a
sick man. The doctor gimme this
medicine, but I need something to take
It with." The lady was ready to help.
"Poor fellow." she said, "do you want
a spoon and a glass of water?" The

purely speculative theorizing con

and calories clashes with actual fact
was demonstrated at the anniversary j
meeting of the New York Academy
of Medicine, November 20. 1913, when j
Graham Lusk made the statement that
follows.
"It Is necessary that the body have
a constant replenishment of Its pro
tein store. There Is no doubt of the
superior value of meat, flsh, egg and
milk proteins to that of bread, beans
and Indian oorn.
"The proteins of rloa and potatoes
hold an Intermediate position between
the two claaaes of proteins above
mentioned. Such facts make it pos
sible to classify proteins acoordlng to
their physiological value and they may
be sold, therefore, as mllfc In three
classes—A, B. and C. In a fourth
grade, D. might beong gelatine and
some other proteins which cannot re

"Experiment with wheat protein '
show that glaidin. which represents !
nearly one-half of the protein of j
wheat, is of inferior food value. It re- '
quires more protein in the form of 1
bread to protect from protein loss that
it does when meat or milk Is ingested.
The same is true of other proteins
derived from grains."
In making these extraordinary
statements before a group of learned
scientists, Lusk entirely ignored the
fact that meat protein, which he re
ferred to in such extravagant terms,
when deprived of Its mineral salts,
destroys llfs.
It is evident, therefore, that he did
not estalish his value of meat pro
tein upon processed meat which we
have seen, after having been immer
sed in distilled water and then fed
to dogs, kills the animals.
Why, therefore, should he attempt
jto estimate the value of wheat pro
! teins or the protein of any other
grain upon the detnineralized white
bread protein or the demineralized In
dian corn protein which he used as a
' base for his comparisons?
How are the common people to
| maintain respect for a scientific utter

! which are not only unscientific but
utterly untenable?
j We have seen how. in the absence

DENVER IS DONE
WITH COMMISSION
[Continued From First Page]
friends. He is a native o£ Pennsyl
vania and is proud ot the State. Den
ver has learned to know the real
worth of Robert W. Speer during the
four years that the city has been ex
perimenting with the commission gov
ernment, and, repudiating that form
of administration, the old mayoral sys
: tein has been assumed with the re-elec
-1 tion of Mayor Speer. Having rebuked
, him and listened to his vilifiers, the
citizens of the metropolis of the
i Rockies are now glad to welcome him
j back to the place of authority. And
this is the story from Denver:
The reversion from the commission
go\ernment demonstrated that the in
-1 telligent voters decided that municipal
government is primarily a business
and an economic problem, not a po-
I litical problem, to be handled by poli
ticians, dreamers and reformers.
There are many psychological rea
sons that helped bring about the re
i version, but the economic problem was
the basic reason The test of four
years under the commission form has
1 shown a constant Increase annually in
i the cost of administration, with little
1 c*r no money going for permanent im-
I provements.
••Headless" Commission
I The "headless" commission form,
with five different departments, caused
too much divided authority and di
i vided interests. The lack of central
ization, with each department head
! trying to get the most he could for his
• department, was like five horses pull
: In* in different directions or like the
stockholders of a company electing a
board of five directors and neglecting
to pick a chairman.
No department head showed much
regard for other departments and It
was a case of "the devil take the hind
most." Nominally one of the depart
ment heads was made "mayor" by
l courtesy, but his authority was prac
tically limited to the desires and
wishes of the other department heads
and his duties were largely clerical.
This division of authority or lack of
centralization made it almost impos
sible to plan expenditures of city funds
along a general improvement line or
do any cohesive constructive work.
The commissioners of Denver were
simply a mediocre lot of men; they
were neither good nor bad, but indif
ferent to the welfare of the city as a
whole. Had there been some man of
strong personality and executive ability
filling the "mayor's" chair it is prob
able that Denver would have given the
commission form at least a few more
years' trial. The commissioners'
methods of expenditures made for ex
travagance and there was a lack of
initiative.
All of the city revenues went simply
for maintenace. with the cost of main
tenance mounting up each year. Tho
adoption of state-wide prohibition by
Colorado last January spelled an an
nual loss of about $300,000 in saloon
licenses to Denver and a consequent
increase of that amount In taxation.
While not responsible for this loss of
revenue, the commission incidentally
received much unjustifiable blame for
the increased taxatton.
Vilification Does Not Pay
For several years Denver has been
the melting pot for many govern
mental reforms. The city has largely
been controlled by a set of men who
paid little or no taxes and who earned
their livelihood as reformers, not by
the sweat of their brows, but by the
abuse they could heap on Denver of
ficials and Denver property owners.
One Denver newspaper of the "yellow"
type has been foremost in that kind of
tactics and the recent election was
largely a rebuke to that newspaper. It
waged a campaign of vilification
against Speer, charging him with
graft, ballot box stuffing and "crow
barlsm" during his former adminis
trations. They predicted that if he
were returned to office It would result
In a saturnalia of crime, "red light"
districts, political corruption, graft and
a "czarlike" form of government.
About four years ago the people of
Denver administered what they felt
was a stinging rebuke to Mr. Speer
and elected Henry Arnold to the po
sition of mayor. Mr. Arnold went into
office under the greatest wave of pop
established that meat proteins from |
processed or exhausted meat are
worthless compared with wheat pro
teins or corn proteins containing all '
of the mineral salts and colloids of the j
I unbolted grain.
j At the same meeting Lusk also )
j said*. "The Eskimo consumed large
: quantities of meat, even as much as j
nine pounds a day, and yet health |
and strength are not wanting among
I these meat-eaters, and they are not)
1 the victims of uric acid diseases." |
! Openly opposed to this declaration !

'Medical Association, March 28, 1913,1
said: I

"Surgeon M. H. Foster of the pub- '
lie. health service reported August 11,
1911, that at Sitka fairly reliable sta
tistics placed the annual birth rate |
tor a period of Ave years and seven :
months at 72.3 per thousand, and the <
annual death rate for the same period ;
at 85.4 per thousand, an actual de- j
crease In population of thirteen per j

| "On request of the secretary of the j
\ Interior, Paased-Assistant Surgeon j
| Emll Krullsh of the federal public j
J health service was detailed to In- j

the Alaskans under the commissioner j
!of education. His report, under date I
of January 22, 1913. after a study of I
nine months, was filed with the secre- !
tary of the interior. January, 1218.
I "The report corroborates all the '
.findings of Surgeon Foster. The most
' serious menace is tuberculosis, which,

Speer Man of the Hour
No other man in Denver to-day
could have probably appealed so
strongly to the taxpayers and voters
for a reversion to the mayoral form as
Robert W. Speer. His ability as an
expert city manager is now fully rec
ognized in Denver and the constructive
work he accomplished while he was
for eight years mayor of the city was
his strongest recommendation for re
election.
Speer was of the "boss" type of
mayor, but of the hardest working
kind.
The minutest detail of civic govern
ment was submitted to him for his ap
proval or disapproval, but he accom
plished big things In a big way and
practically all the big civic improve
ments that Denver has to-day were
Initiated and completed by him. He
built the municipal auditorium, the
public baths, laid out and practically
completed the boulevard and public
parks system, built the first play
grounds. established a municipal band
which gave free Sunday concerts dur
ing winters in the auditorium, deco
rated the city on holidays and during
big conventions, established bathing
beaches in the parks and did many
other things for the welfare and
amusement of the people.
Further, during periods of financial
stress, he planned municipal work to
give employment to the unemployed.
Naturally all these things increased
taxation, but the increase was paid
with little complaint, for the people
believed they were getting their
money's worth.
WHERE TIIE COI-LEGE FAILS
Sometimes the coach teaches his
men to play the game on the square
at all times and to be good sportsmen,
but this is not so universal as to justi
fy us In saying that the college is
teaching high Ideals of sport through
its coachers. Every college teacher
knows that the namby-pamby methods
used by the college In teaching these
things are inefficient and can have lit
tle effect on ideals and character.
The college is not only failing to
teach its students the highest standard
of sport but It is actually demonstrat
ing to them a wrong conception of
sport by commercializing Its own
games and showing how they can be
made to pay. Then It hopelessly
fogs the Idea of amateurism by assum
ing that its athletes are bona fide ama
teurs after it has exploited and profit
ed by their athletic ability and fame,
just as they were before. When a
l college team is coached and trained
lust like a professional t am, when its
f imes are advertised and staged In Just
the same way, and when the purpose is
the same —prestige and gate receipts—
the undergraduate, unlearned In the
I technicalities, sees little difference be
tween the two except in efficiency, and
this Is in favor of the professional.—

THE WILL TO DO
Jim Smith was notoriously slow pay.
He owed quite a bill at the grocery for
pork. One day, as his credit was be
coming strained, he walked calmly Into
the grocery, and said, "Mr. Black, I
want to pay you for the pork I have
had, and I want some more." "Cer
tainly," said the delighted proprietor,
as he hastened to wait on his customer,
{faking the package of pork, Jim Smith
started to go. "Walt a minute," said
the proprietor, "I thought you wanted
to pay for the por«t?" "I do," re
marked Jim, as he resumed his home
ward way, "but I can't."—The Chris

SHOES FOR THE WOODS
Shoes that may be comfortable for
ordinary walking are apt to be too
small for use when carrying any
weight. Twenty-five pounds carried
all day will make a tremendous differ
ence to the feet. The shoe should be
big enough to allow the foot to spread
somewhat, but not so big as to let the
foot move around in it as this means
chafing and blisters.
The Navy drill book says of the
marching shoe: "A common defect in
shoes is that they are too tight over
the instep and top loose over the ball
of the foot. If the leather forward
of the instep is too slack, wrinkles will
form. . . . The inner edge of the
shoe should be almost straight, the
sole thick and wile, projecting be
yond the upper leather. The heel
should be low and broad, anil the toe
of such length that there will be no
pressure on the ends of the toes or
toe-nails." The army marching shoe
is built on these lines and is an excel
lent pattern.—June Outing.
