The old Rowe carriage shop on South street, owned by Hutson B. Saunders, ot

The fire spread through the up- per part of the building, burning out the roof. There was no insurance on the
building. Louisa B., widow of Frank Austin, of
North Ellsworth, died yesterday in ! Brewer, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. R. M. DeWitt, at the age of seventy* four years. Mrs. Austin spent most of he^ life in North Ellsworth, where she was held in the highest esteem. Bhe was

GOOD ROADS DAY.
Kllsworth Men Make Work a Pleas- ure-Good Work Being Done.
This is good roads day in Ellsworth. Down on the stretch of road connecting with that gilt-edged State highway in
Trenton, men and teams are busy, mak-
ing a holiday of a work day, with a chow- der dinner as a side feature. There will be blisters to-night on many hands unac-
customed to handle of pick and shovel. Street Commissioner Newman, who is
boss-in-chief, says there were about 130 men on the job this morning, of whom about 100 were sub-bosses. Thirty or
more teams were kept busy. Bar Harbor and Trenton were represented among the laborers.
The men opened up a gravel pit on the Osgood place which began to look like a
north of Prance army trench by noon.
Gravel was moved rapidly, the teams mak-
ing about twelve turns each in the fore- noon. The road had been prepared for the gravel beforehand by Street Commis- sioner Newman and his regular crew, and the work to-day consiated of gravelling the road.
The work began at the Trenton line.
By noon one-third of a mile had been
gravelled. Then came the call for dinner at the Osgood farm. Caterer John H. Leiand lived up to hit reputation with the Ash chowder prepared. The ladies turned out in force to assist in serving dinner to the hungry laborers sod the dozens of
“inspectors'* who came down to look over the work just in tins for dinner.
The dinner scene +m an interesting one. No tables were spread, but the
diners, with bowls of chowder, hardtack, bread, doughnuts, pickles, baked beans, coffee, etc., found places as best they could on tbe ground, on and iu automo- biles. An old hayrack formed a conven-
ient lunch counter (or a congressman, a
justice of the supreme court and a candi- date for the republican nomination for I governor. It was a merry crowd, where "good digestion waited on appetite, and health on both”.
A light shower just after dinner threat- ened to cut short the operations for the day, out the volunteer crew had entered thoroughly into the spirit of the work, and it took more than a shower to dampen their enthusiasm. They stuck to the job long after a steady ram set in for the afternoon.

mentary Prepared by Rev. O. M. Steams.
David having been established a*
Meg over all Israel began at once to
think of a place for the ark of the
Lord, the symbol of the presence of the Lord In the midst of His people. The last record of the ark was when the Philistines returned It In a new
cart with an offering; the men of Beth- abemesh transgressed by looking Into it, and 50,000 perished; they were glad to send it on to Ktdath-Jearlm, where it found a resting place for many years In the house of Abinadab In the hill (1 Bam. vli, 1). I think that there Is no men-
tion of it during the reign of Saul. In our lesson chapter and In chapter vli. 2. it is mentioned sixteen times, and In
the parallel record In I Chron. xltl. xv
and xvt It Is mentioned twenty-live times. It always suggests righteous- ness which God requires, but also that
righteousness provided In Christ. wh<> is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. The blood on the mercy seat speaks of the saerl- flee on CalTary. and the cherubim beat- en out of the same piece of gold as
the mercy seat tell of the oneness of Christ with His redeemed. •]
The Lord of hosts dwelling be- tween the cherubim (verse 2; I Chron. xlll, 6; I Sam. lv. 4: Pa. Ixxx, 1) tells of the mercy of Cod In Christ and of His provision for communion with as (Ex. xxv, 21, 22i, for It Is our privi- lege to say "Truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesua Christ" (1 John L 3i. Although David's desire to provide a place for the ark in Jerusalem was com-
mendable. be was certainly out of fellowship with Cod In the way he took to accomplish It and in his adopt- ing the method <>f the Philistines, when he really knew better, as we shall see David's folly in the matter of a new cart to bear the ark Instead of the j shoulders of the priests (chapter vil. 3: , I Chron. xiii. 7; xv. 2, 12-15) brought 1
about the death of I'zzah, terror in the heart of David and the ark resting for three months in the house of Obed- edom. When the Lord instructs us as ; to how He desires His work to be done there is nothing for ns to do but obey and avoid all methods but His own.
One of the most grievoUB things *ln so called church work of our day is the worldly methods which seem to have been adopted on all sides Instead of prayer and fasting and looking to the Lord alone to carry on His work in His way by His Holy Spirit. As truly as the Lord gave Mosea that plan of the tabernacle and David the plan of the temple (Ex. xxv, 9, 40; I Chron. xxvlli, 12, 19). leaving no room for sug- gestions or improvements or modifica- tions of any kind from them, so has He as plainly told us His plan for subdu- ing this world to Himself and making it a new eerth wherein dweileth right- eousness. We are not permitted to be conformed to this present evil world In any way, nor are we to think of making this world, which Ueth In the wicked one. a righteous world, for It
" cannot be done while the dertl la Its god, ruling as he does in politics and In commerce and In social lift and also In much that la called religions. [Bee my tract entitled “The Secret of Mis- sionary Interest." L. 4k K-, box 218, Harrisburg. Pa.]
When the ark finally reached Its place In the tent that David had pitch- ed for It there was great rejoicing be- fore the Lord, and David blessed the people In the name of the Lord of hosts (verses 12-lb). There la always blessing associated with obedience to the Lord. Chapter vli is one of the most Important records In the whole story of David, for It tells of God's un-
conditional covenant with David con cerulng the everlasting kingdom yet to
be set up on the earth, with Israel as
Its center and an immortal man niton the throne of David at Jerusalem (vl 1. 12-241. That David knew that the promised son was not Solomon, but the Messiah. Is plainly stated in Acts 11. 30. and Messiah risen from the dead.
t an immortal man. for no mortal man
could reign forever. The same person Is spoken of in the same way In Isa. lx, 6, 7. and also by Gabriel to Vary In Luke 1. 32. 33. and the kingdom thus foretold will surely and literally come.
That the church is the kingdom, that the kingdom Is here now. that It is only a so called spiritual kingdom and within us. is wholly without foun- dation In the word of God. The much misunderstood saying In Luke xvil, 21. would not be so misunderstood If peo- ple noticed that the words were spoken to blaspheming hypocrites. The mar-
ginal reading Is the correct one. Da- vid’s thought at this time was to build a temple for the Lord, and even Na- than the prophet encouraged him. but the will of the Lord was otherwise (chapter vtl. 1-11: compare I Chron. xvil). The plans for the building were
given to David, and be was allowed to make great preparation for It (I Chron.
xxriij, 12. 19: xxlx. 1-5). Note David’s question when he heard of this won-
derful King and kingdom (vtl. 19; I Chron. xvil. IT) and compare the ques- tion of the disciples In Mark Iv. 41. Be it the same In all the Bible story, and His name is ”Wonderful.” With- out Him we can do nothing, but If as
brunches we abide hi the Vine He will
surely bear fruit through is.

An OLD AIXT DRUM.
It beat the reveille long and loud, To wane the camp in the morning gray,
And summoned us to our many tasks. And sounded "taps” at the close of day.
Its muffled tones la a funeral dirge. Fell sad and slow o'er some term of clay.
And wbga the chaplain said "Dust to dust**. It played "Lights out" ere we turned away.
It heat “Long roll" at the first alarm From scout or picket, by day or night.
And led us forth to the bsttleflejd With heart* made strong for the coming j
•gbt. It went ahead on the weary march,
And tapped the notes of some stirring song. That brought the words to a thousand lip*
And cheered us up as we tramped along. It throbbed with Joy when the news of peace
Ran down the lines in a mighty shout; It called from trenches the smokes (mined
men. And played "Farewell” when we mustered
out.
Mow worn and gray like the comrades brave Who faced the bullet and screaming shell.
It beats ao more la the camp or field The old commands la a rolling swell.
For la the garret it lie* at rent. With tarnished frame and a fraying string,
And overhead from a rafter brown The drnmeticks dusty and idle swing.

I had a very enjoyable call from B. J. A. a day or two ago.
To A uni Madge and all ike dan: Don't suppose it is any use to make excuses
or try to redeem myself at this tat* day. bat have never lost interest in tbs column. It la about the first thing I read when getting tbs paper. Have tried many of tbe recipes aad •ad them all right.
Am through with the aprtag cleaning, aad this week have done some gardeaiag, weed- lng out the perennials and planting some
early soed. Bight here let me ask if yoa have ever need a fork for weeding among email planter It works fine.
Daring late winter aad spring have planed two quilts, braided a rug, read "Ben Her", "The Wrestler of Philippi." "Bobooca of Bnaay Brook Purm," and, other books loo numerous to meattoa, beside* doing the thousand aad one things that fall to the lot of every housekeeper.

B. J. T. writes that she it improving; hop* she will soon be as good aa new.
Say, Dell, de yoa ever change yoar mind? I do. Have said many time* I hoped to llva to see the lias* when women ooald go to the polls, bat have become so disgusted with the way eoate have done trying to gain that end, that I don’t think I would vote if tb* oppor- tunity were given.
With beat wish** to all for a happy Bum- mer. C.
Isn’t this i treat to hear from C. once
mote, and thanks to bar for congratula- tions and latter and all. Don’t any of yoa think C. seat this as a substitute tor her part of the “dost,” for she did not know her name was on the dob program when she wrote the letter.
One of our nieces called me up on the ’phone and told roe when she read what 1 wrote in the column about cooking in house-cleaning tiro sbe was reminded ot what her John said the other day. Sbe had planned to make an apple pie for dessert but it was easier to make a custard
pudding, which she did. being busy, she did not attend to tbe Are as carefully ; as usual, so tbe padding was a little soft. Her John looked at it and said: “I should call this a house-cleaning custard.”
Many of the readers of the column will; be interested in tbe following, which is | copied from a paper relating to the attrac- tions of Florida as a good place in which to locate permanently.
Mrs. C. H. Osgood is spoken of ss tbe “mother” of Ceredo, W. Va. She is ninety- two years old, but ia still yonng in spirit. She has gone to Clermont, Florida, to live. A letter to a friend at home waa so interest- ing that it was printed in tbe Herald Die- patch, of Huntington, and we make this brief j quotation from it.
“A carriage and driver came to take ns through tbe country about Clsrmont to see tbe lovely views; tbe trees laden with fruit of so many varieties; flowers ia abundance and the lakes of indescribable beauty, bordered with white sand (not mad). The lakes are not on lowland, as I had thought before seeing them, bnt more than ISO feet above sea level. As to | the temperature, the mornings and evenings

Advice to Housewives. In June Woman’s Horn* Companion
the cookery editor writes t page ol edriue to housewives on the subject ol canning Jane fruits. The jelly-making, canning and preserving time is approaching, and the directions given are particularly val- uable Just now. Following is an extract from me general directions:
“Fruit for panning should be fresh,Orm, of good quality and not over-ripe.
“For canning fruit allow one-tbird its weight in sugar, and two and one-half to three cupfuls of water to each pound of' sugar.
“To sterilize jars: Wash jars and fill with cold water. Set in a kettle on a trivet and surround #with cold wster. Heat gradually to tb boiling point, re- move from kettle, empty and dll while hot. Let covers eland in hot water dve minutes. Dip rubber bands in hot water bnt do not allow them to stand. Always use new robber* and see that the coven ere in perfect shape.”

small to finance economically and ef hetively the necessary road work. The road officials are too numerous,
and of these officials no special kuowl- edge Is required.
Selected for tbelr personal or pollt leal affiliation*. moat of these men net tber know the drat principle# of road balding nor appreciate the tiewliy of systematic maintenance of all road*. Nearly everywhere, therefore, are coat

C ly a Blindfolded man would buy an automobile today without looking the Maxwell over
There’s no excuse today for any man who is “jollied” into buying a car before he looks over the 1915 Maxwell.
We give you the two vital things in this Maxwell Car and then the 17 new features that have made the 1915 Maxwell the most talked-about car ever produced.
Here are the two vital things that any sane
man wants when he buys an automobile
In the first place —a handsome, real automobile that
he can be proud to ride In.
In the second place —a powerful, fast, economical auto-
mobile that will take him any- where and bring him back. *
We give you these two vital things, and then just about every other detail of re-
finement, comfort and endurance that you can think of.
Take power and hill-climbing ability, for example—when you buy a 1915 Maxwell you buy an exact duplicate of the stock Maxwell cars in which “Wild Bill” Turner and “Billy” Carson broke two World's Re- cords in two of the toughest, roughest moun-
tain hill-climbs ever made—Mt. Hamilton and Mt. Wilson.
Take speed and endurance, for example— when you buy a Maxwell you buy a car made by the same designers—the me chief engi- neer—from the same Maxwell Laboratory, heat-treated, tested steel, that was used in the Maxwell Racers in which Barney Oldfield and wBilly” Carson both broke the 300- mile non-stop race records, in Corona and San Diego.
Read This !’•* of Expensive Features. The 1915 Maxwell Has These Features And Many Others.
Attracting Streamline Body Para etreamlln* body: graceful crown fendara.
with all rlrota concealed All the grace. »ty la and “anap" that you will find In any of tha hlgheat greed earn.
A High-Taaaion Magneto Nearly alt the high priced car* hare high tenalon
magneto*. A high ten.Ion magneto gU*. pogltly* Ignition. The Slnuna magneto, with which the Maa- weli I. equipped, la recognized an one of tb* boat
magneto* triad©.
Left Side Drive—Central Control Laft «!de steer with geer shifting lev erg in center
of dr vin« compartment—center control has been
accept.-.! by leading maker. of VSffSl bller* as the safest and moat comfortable for the driver; that la why the Mazwall hak IL Tba Mu- well Is »o easy U> drive and control that a child
can handle It.
Three-Speed Sliding Geer Trentmigaion All high priced cars have a sliding gear trans-
mission It is costly to malts, but It la the best. If ths motor has the power, sliding gears will
gull the car oat of any mud or sand. The Maxwell as a three-speed selective sliding gear transmission
because Maxwell engineers do not consider any other type to be worthy of the Maxwell car.
Double-Shell Radiator with Shook Absorbing Device
The Maxwell radiator Is of handsome design, gracefully curved, and It Is built to be trouble proof. It Is the expensive double shell type and ha- ample cooling capacity. The radiator is mounted to the frame by means of a shock ab- sorbing device on each side, which relieves the radiator of ail twista and distortions of the frames caused by roughness of the road The shock ab- sorbing device also minimises the possibility of radiator leaks.
The Roomy Full S-Pasaenger Body Adjustable Front Seat
The 1915 Maxwell has a full grown 6-passenger body The front seat is adjustable, you can move it three inches forward or backward. Thla makes the car really comfortable for the driver. No cramped legs for tall people or uncomfortable reaching for short people Most drivers’ seaU are made to fit anyone—-eo fit no one.
Low “Up-keep" Carburetor The carburetor used on the Maxwell was espec-
ially designed for it after long and severe tests under every conceivable condition. Economy tours conducted by hundreds of dealers and owners In different sections of the country have proved Its efficiency, its quick response to throttle and Its extremely low consumption of gasoline. It haa been termed the *'fow up-keep" carburetor.
Irreversible Steering Geer The greatest margin of safety has been pro-
vided In the steering gear of the 1915 Maxwell. The Maxwell Irreversible steering mechanism la of the expensive worm-and-gear type and its nu- periority over every other type lies In Its many adjustments. At no time is more than a fourth of the bearing surface of the gear* which operates the worm in use. When needed, a new bearing surface may be had by adjusting the gear a quarter of a turn. In short, the Maxwell steering gear has four times the adjustment of any other kind.
Heavy Car Comfort What surprises most people Is the smooth, buoy-
ant riding qualities of the Maxwell. The spring siyi pension of the 1915 Maxwell is the same costly combination of long semi-elliptical front springs and the three-quarter elliptic rear springs that is used on most heavy weight, high priced care. The Maxwell offers you every essential of the high- est priced machines at a fifth of their cost. I
One Sise el Tire—Anti-Skids on Renr The Maxwell car Is one of the easiest ears In th®
world on tires. Maxwell owners carry but on® pare tire and but one size of spare tubes Econorn- teal 30 Inch x 3ft Inch tires are used all around. A famous make of anti-skid tires are supplied on rear wheels.
A Dependable Electric Starter For $55 extra, you can have your Maxwell de-
livered equipped with the famous Simms-HufT elec- tric starter. This starter Is efficient, trouble proof and easily operated.
And the Maxwell Is completely equipped from the clear vision, ventilating windshield at the front to the spare tire carrier at the rear

The Maxwell Company’s Guarantee of Service to Maxwell Owners No other automobile is backed by a more reliable service than that guaranteed every Maxwell owner. More than 2,000 Maxwell dealers

men are just finding out how many relatives they have.
The Are of last Thursday nigh1 leaves no doubt that Ellsworth Is
harboring one of those dangerous and most elusive of criminals, a Are-bug, or pyromaniac. No effort should be
spared to effect his capture.
The New York Mail declares that Roosevelt has not- “come back”. He “was never out”, it says. All right, we will not quibble about words. The main thing is that most of his
party baa “come back”, anyway.
The famous Barnes vs. Roosevelt libel suit, which baa laid bare to pub- lic gaze some of the inner history of New York politics, is over. The jury returned a verdict for Mr. Rooeevelt. It is estimated that the case cost the
principals something over 1100,000. the larger part of which will have to
be borne by Mr. Barnes.
In the death at Litchfield last
Thursday of Hon. Oramandel Smith, Maine has loat one of ita best-known and most prominent men. As repre- sentative and clerk of the House, as
secretary of state, private secretary to the governor and state treasurer, be had had an almost continuous pub- lic service for thirty-five years.
Ellsworth has a candidate for the republican nomination for governor.; Dr. Alexander C. Hagerthy, seven
1
times elected mayor of the city, a
former representative and State senator, has formally announced his j entrance into the primary campaign for the republican nomination for: governor. Dr. Hagertby's statement j of his position on several public qnes- j tions, which accompanied his formal announcement of his candidacy, is i printed elsewhere. The most novel proposition advanced by him in this j statement is that of State control of mail-order business—an application of the protective tariff principle to states.
It has recently been discovered that the amendment to the charter of the Bar Harbor municipal court which will become effective in July provides that the recorder of tbe court shall be a member of the Hancock county bar. This will legislate the present recorder, Mr. Wasgatt. out of offioe, !
and while his term does not expire until Dec. 31 1916, there seems to be but little doubt that the new law, which also fixes the salary of tbe re- corder, will become fully effective ninety days after the adjournment of the legislature. As H. L. Graham is tbe only democratic lawyer here who is not now holding an office, it would seem that be has a clear field for the position if politics is taken into con- sideration.—-Bar Harbor Timet.
Italy has formally declared war
against Austria-Hungary, and a new
field of army operations, on tbe Italian-Austrian frontier, now de- mands attention of the world. At tbe
beginning of the European conflict, Italy was arrayed with Austria and
Germany in tbe triple alliance, and was called upon by her Teutonic allies to enter the war on their side. Italy’s sympathies, however, were on the other aide, and she declined. Since then Austrian and German diplomacy baa been exhausted in tbe effort to induce Italy to remain neutral, and
large concessions of Austrian territory were offered her, but ail was swept aside in the rising flood of war spirit in Italy._
Distributed Hsr Kisses. In one o' her plays Sarah Bernhardt
had to rush on the stage in the last scene, kneel down at the side of her dead lover and smother him with kisses.
As Mme. Bernhardt, for the sake of MaUsm, was giving away the real
thing Paris thought her sweetness was
being wasted on a mere ac tor, and tbe netrees was inundated with letters SYma French noblemen, artists, poets end authors liegging her to allow them
to take the part of the “dead lover.”
And, not wishing to offend any one
who appreciated her, the ac tress eon-
gantsd, with the result that she kissed
e different “derd lover" at every per- (pisiiis during the run of the piece.
Dm. ALEXANDElt C. HAUEBTHY.
for Krpublican NomliwUnn Dr. Alexander C. Hafvrtbf, of Kill-
worth, on Saturday made formal an-
oounceroent of bis candidacy for the re-
publican nomination for governor. Dr. Hagerthy accompanied his announcement
with the following statement of his
attitude on several public questions: I favor a referendum on the question of equal
suffrage, a special election to be held, with no
other question to be considered at that time, but allowing only women to vote on the prop- osition.
1 favor some control of so called mail- order shipments from outside the Slate to
protect the local dealers who pay taxes, rent and clerks, wbo help make up the business section of the various tow us and supply credit to their neighbors when needed, and wbo are placed in competition with those mail-order bouses who sell only for cash and carry none of the tax burden of the heme dealer.
I advocate the election of the secretary of state, the state treasurer, the attorney gen- eral and the commissioner of agriculture by direct vote of the people the latter ffli-ra! to be a graduate of an agricultural college.
I favor a highway commissioner rather than the commission of three as now consti- tuted, so that the responsibility wilt be placed on on* person.
I am in favor of some system of rural credits to give relief to the farmer-
1 believe that all contracts for the construc-
tion of State highways should be awarded to
Maine contractors.
1 am opposed to the present federal plan of quarantine on potatoes.
I favor a plan of reforestation by the State
COt'NT* OSSIP.
toad, found at Great Pond recently, as re-
ported in The Americas at the tune, has been identified by Ldward C. Pope, of Manchester, as a spotted salamander. The description of tbe reptile as printed in The Americas, was as follows: “It looks somewnat like an alligator, but is
pronounced neither snake, frog nor hzard. It is about nine inches in length, with
bright yellow spots each side its baric.” j Mr. Pope writes: ‘"This creature is a
spotted salamander (ambiystoma punrta- tami and is an amphibian, like the froga, but is much more closely related to tbe newts or salamanders of our streams, commonlv miscalled lizards. The spotted salamander is not rare in this State, but is not often seen, tie cause it is a night feeder, lying concealed in moist spotsdur- ing the day. At this time of year it may be found in pools and puddles, at night, where it goes to deposit its eggs, which occur in roundish masses of transparent Jelly, resembling frog spawn. The young, when first' batched, swim freely in tbe
water, and breathe by means of fringed gills on the sides of the bead. When they have attained a length of two or three
inches, they begin to breathe by means of
lungs, tbe gills are gradually absorbed, and the youngsters begin to travel about on land? I have kept two of these sala- manders in a glass tank in tbe bouse for two or three years past, with plants and moist moss for shelter. They are very tame, and will eat quantities of earth- worms, slugs and insects, but are not very active.” _
JOHN LAUGHLIN I)KAI>.
Collapsed from Heart Failure While lu Canoe, Which Overturned.
John Laughlin, aged seventy-four years, of Great Pond, lumberman, and one of the best-known citizens! of the up-river section of Hancock county, died suddenly last Wednesday evening under peculiar circumstances. Stricken, it is believed, by heart failure while in a canoe, the craft was overturned, and his companion narrowly escaped drowning. Mr. Laugh- lin’a body was recovered. It is believed he was dead when he entered the water.
Mr. Laughlin and T. H. Mclninch were
coming down Great pond about 9 o’clock in the evening. Mr. Mclninch was pad- dling. He heard a slight noise, and look-
ing up saw Mr. Laughlin standing up. He cautioned him to sit down. In a mo- i meut Mr. Laughlin collapsed, falling into the bottom of the canoe, which upset.
Mr. Mclninch clung to the overturned 1
canoe, and tried to locate Mr. Laoghlin, who did not rise to tbe surfsoe, bearing out the belief that he was dead when he
j fell. Mr. Mclninch succeeded in reaching j shore with difficulty.
PROTEIN IN TIIE PIET. [From France* H. Freeman. Associate Pro-
f. **or « f Homr Krcnomu*, C. of M-, is Wees Coarse. l#sS.;
Our bodies are very much like any ma-
chine. both must be kept In good repair and supplied a >th fuel from which to da-
nce their power of energy. 80 a food is
any substance which will build new tis- sue or repair worn-out tissue snd also
yield this energy for muscular and nerv-
ous activities. AU foods art made up of one or more of
the five constituents called food princi- pies. These are protein, fat, carbohy- drj.lv (sugar and starch), water and
^mineral matter. The tissue-builders are
(he protein, mineral matter and water. 1 be energy producers are fats, carbohy- drates aud proteins.
Protein is derived from both animal and vegetable foods. The animal foods, as
meat, fish, poultry, milk, cheese and ggs j offer the iarg<*t source, although much; may well be derived from the vegetable foods, as the dried legumes, cereals and nuts. The purest form of preteiu is the white of egg, other types are caesin or j curd from milk, the lean muscle fibre ! from meat aud gluten from wheat. Pro- ! Uui is the most important fcod principle. It is absolutely essential to the body structure and forma the basis for all the: muscles. It is also the moat expensive !
item in our diet. The body must have a definite amount :
of protein per day, which for the adult in j health is fairly constant. Authorities dif- \ f-.r somewhat upon this amount, but there j is no doubt that one hundred and eighteen ! grams per day or approximately one-fourth
J pound is sufficient for the average person 1 engaged in muscular work.
The old idea that people doing heavy j muscular work needed large amounts of
protein, especially meats, has been dis- | proven. What is actually needed is more J of the principal energy producers, namely >
fats and carbohydrates. Large amounts of protein are responsible tor a great deal of ill health.
Meat is tbe most expensive source of
proteiu snd much leas is needed in the diet of the average American family. It is not necessary to serve meat three time# a
day. Meat served once a day, supple- mented by other protein foods, is sufB- cienfto keep the body of the healthful adult in good condition. The cheaper j cuts of meat may well be utilised. They i are just as nutritious as tbe better cuts 1
snd cost a great deal less, but require i tong, slow cooking.
Milk is not a beverage but a true food. 1
j It has been shown that milk selling for j seven or eight cents a quart, is a cheaper { source of protein than any of tbe animal 1
| foods except cheese, very cheap meat and salt fish. Skim milk usually coats less than half as much as whole milk snd furnishes protein four limes as cheaply ; as beef. The fat w'hich it lacks may ; readily be supplied by other foods,
j Eggs should bold a place equally impor- j tant with milk. They are very easily di- gested and thoroughly absorbed by the , body. It is true economy for tbe family of very moderate means to serve fresh eggs one meal a day to place of meat.
Dried legumes are the cheapest source ! I of protein snd pound per pound yield
larg» amounts of protein than any other food, and there ia no dietary in which they may not profitably find a place.
An Ksauy. A little boy in school was commanded
| by tbe teacher to write an essay on the automobile, containing 500 words. This is what he wrotei
“My father bought an automobile and
I one Suuday he t bought he would take ua
out riding. 8o he went and got the auto- : mobile and he took my mother and myself and the baby out riding in it. We bad a floe ride away ou^ in tbe country,
! but something happened to the automo-,; bile and it ran into a fence and got broke.
! Father got out and tried to fix it and he fussed around with it for a long time, but couldn’t make it run again. Then it be- gan to rain and we bad to walk back to town, a distance of three miles. It rained very bard and the mad was very deep and
my father had to carry the baby. “That makes 121 words*. The Other 379
words are what my father said on the way home."
