NUMBER 20. Prominent Negroes of the West Organize National League. Mr. Clarence R. Groves, a prominent young business man of Kansas City Mo., and nephew of J. G. Groves, until versally known as the "Potato King," is President; Mr. S. Richard Hopkins, a successful real estate and oil operator, is Secretary; Mr. Mannie E. Oden of the Square Deal Realty & Investment Company, Treasurer, and Miss Alberta S. Collins, expert accountant, is Chief Clerk of Vital Statistics. The "organization is to be known as the National Negro Constitutional Conservation League of America, with general headquarters at 1315 East 18th street, Kansas City, Mo., from which it will direct the activities of its many branches which are being organized throughout the United States. The object and purpose of this League is to see that the blood of our brave and noble soldiers who fought for World Democracy shall not have been shed in vain, by waging an unending and ceaseless fight to wipe out and eliminate discrimination and prejudice, Jim-crowism and disfranchisement, mob violence and injustice from the United States of America FOREVER. It is preparing to circulate a great petition, and it hopes to have attached thereto, in the next few months, the signatures of over a million persons asking the United States Government to enforce the 14th and 15th Amendments of the Constitution. Every true and race loving Negro in this Country should see to it that he gets an opportunity to place his name on this worthy document. In summing up the entire purpose and object of the National Negro Constitutional Conservation League of America, we might say that this League is endeavoring to make the United States of America a decent place for the Black Man to live in. A Letter to Dr. Burris Jenkins. The Secretary of this organization, Mr. S. Richard Hopkins, wrote a letter to Dr. Burris A. Jenkins, the new Editor and published of the Post, which expressed the sentiment of all the thoughtful Negroes in Greater Kansas City. It follows: Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 8, 1919. Dr. Burris Jenkins, Publisher and Editor, Kansas City Post, Kansas City, Missouri. Most Honorable Sir: We wish to sincerely congratulate you in accepting the great office as Publisher and Editor of the Kansas City Post. We also wish to commend the owners of this paper in displaying such wisdom. We have heard you speak on quite a number of occasions and deep down in our hearts we believe you are the man. We remember when the Kansas City Post was established in this city. We were acquainted with the men who were the first publishers of it. We have been and are constant readers of the Post, and while we have not always agreed with it in most of its policies, we will let bygones be bygones, and ever keep in mind the words of President Wilson, as quoted by you, and which appeared in the first paragraph of your very able article at the left of your picture on the front page of the Kansas City Post, January 7th, 1919. They were as follows: "Precedents are often good only to be broken; and it is certain that because a thing is not usually done is no reason it should not be done now." How wonderful and grand are these words and what a deep and sanguine significance they should have with reference to the Negro. In the second paragraph, you say, these are remarkable times; that the War has fused, melted and tempered men all over the world; that it has quickened them to aspirations, higher and different. You also state in the same paragraph, that reason, thought and sympathy are to play a larger part than ever in human affairs and the vehicle of these things, which is words spoken and written, is to have a weightier influence than ever before. How truly have you spoken and may God grant that you may be equal to the responsibility now placed upon you. We believe that your task is a large one, and we know that the Negroes of Kansas City are with you. We are pleased to, know that you think the people of Kansas City are part owners and responsible for a paper, and that under your direction the Kansas City Post will undertake to reflect the spirit of this city and its territory. Your motto, as regarding the duty of a paper, "The right—neither courting favor nor fearing condemnation" The Kansas City Sun CLARENCE CAMERON WHITE VIOLINIST Big Benefit Entertainment For the Colored Y.

A. at Convention Hall, January 22nd, 1919 Violin Orchestra of 75 Pieces and Chorus of 1,000 Voices Boxes (10 seats), $7.50; Arena Floor, 35c; Arena Balcony, 35c; Top Balcony, 25c. —is wonderful, and if lived up to, will produce nothing less than success. We are also very glad to know that you have opened the Editorial door of your paper to the Public, and we sincerely hope that the Public has reference to and will include the Black Citizen in the same manner as it does the rest of the citizens. We also hope that good news pertaining to the Negro will be sought out and published through your columns in the future with as much persistence as the bad has been in the past. All we ask is Justice, and Justice only. We have fought and died together, now let us work and live in peace and harmony together. We believe that a people who is good enough to shed their blood in defense of a great commonwealth is, at the same time, worthy of being respected and protected by it, especially through the columns of its newspapers. In conclusion, let us hope that the words of President Wilson shall not have been quoted in vain. Though unprecedent—let us hope that the Negro will get a square deal through the columns of the paper whose destiny you are to shape and you will find him in the future as you have found him in the past, ever ready and willing to fight for Democracy; that the great League of Nations might be formed. Very sincerely yours, NATIONAL NEGRO CONSTITUTIONAL CONSERVATION LEAGUE OF AMERICA. S. RICHARD HOPKINS. From this letter Mr. Hopkins received the following reply from the distinguished Editor of the Post, who has proven himself a firm friend of our race: Mr. Richard Hopkins, Secretary, National Negro Constitutional Conservation League of America, 1315 East 18th Street, Kansas City, Missouri. Dear Mr. Hopkins: I have your kind favor of January 8th, and I hope you will find this paper ready to give a "square deal" to the Negro and to everybody else, all the time. The doors of this office are certainly open to the Negro citizens as well as white ones, and I shall be very glad to see you, or any of your people, at any time. As you know, I love to make speeches to Negro audiences, and I hope that my writings may be as courteously and as kindly received by them as have been my spoken words. With kindest regards and best wishes for our mutual success in KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, JANUARY 18. 1919. Mr. B. A. Parsons, President of The Kansas City Board of Trade, will give the address, setting forth the work of the Board of Trade and its relation to the business and other interests of the Colored People of Kansas City.

The Sun believes that our people should make friends of those fair-minded and influential white people who are willing to help us in the struggle for justice and opportunity which we are waging, and if the 18,000 Negroes who are taking the Kansas City Star would transfer their subscriptions to a paper that is as fortunate in having such a brilliant and fair-minded Editor as Dr. Burris A. Jenkins it would do much to demonstrate to those of the other race that we appreciate the efforts put forth in our behalf. HON. E. A.

Won't the sun shine once for you? Is your heart forever weary? Are your pleasures always few? Can't you feel a joy in living. When the earth is all abloom? And has hope gone off agleaving To the door of Faith's still tomb? Do you find each one a stranger? Don't you sometimes crave a friend? Are you missing all the brightness, As you journey to the end? Don't you get sweet peace in laugh ter? Don't your soul delight in song? Is the old earth turning backward? Has the universe gone wrong? Don't you love to watch the daisies, As they smile and smirk and bow? Do not songbirds ever stir you From the depths you're treading now? Does contentment beckon grimly Only to the opened sod? Then, if so, my friend, it's certain You have quite forgotten God. By W. W. Moseley Mrs. Laura Johnson returned home Sunday, after spending some days with her daughter, Mrs. J.

PRICE, 5c. GOODBY, TEDDY? And so, from us is Theodore Roosevelt gone. He whom we will always think of as the "strenuous one," feeling "bully," "de-e-lighted"—he will be with us never more. And yet, though the press has heralded it far and wide, though by telegraph and cable the distressing news has been flashed to the uttermost ends of the earth, and though thousands of messages of sympathy lie heaped up at Sagamore Hill, despite this, the bewildered world cannot realize that America's foremost citizen—for, though he left the White House, he did not cease to be that, both in the national and international mind—is dead. How unexpected was his end! Who could have pictured Roosevelt, of all men, passing unresisting, without giving battle to the Grim Reaper without "hitting the line hard" in a last desperate effort to maintain his hold upon life? It is hardly as he would have preferred to go. Had he been stricken suddenly in the midst of a great speech, a whirlwind campaign; could he have fallen on Flanders' fields leading a charge, or been hurled with his last born from the sky—that we surmise would have been more to his liking. No farewell, no last message to his country, only ushered with one fell swoop into that mysterious bourne—the silver cord broken with suddenness and abruptly. Yet, what if no last word be left. A Roosevelt needs leave no last word. His life, strenuous, dynamic, possessed of that spirit "quick to fight for its own, careless of consequences, deaf, alike to protest and entreat, intent alone on truth, its deathless goal," his life was so replete with the transcendent, the superhuman, he was a prophet and a seer so far ahead of his day that without that last message, he has left as an heritage to his fellows, sufficient to marvel over and wrestle with for generations, aye for all time. Never has America had a spokesman listened so attentively to throughout the world, for Teddy was not dependent upon imminent disaster facing the nations of Europe and prompting them to listen to most any one who could bring them relief, and that, speedily. Never has the workingman had a greater champion, never has there been more resolutely a President of all the people. Never has there graced Washington a man of such bewildering attainments—publicist, soldier, orator, scientist and statesman, and recognized as eminent in all. And no President, not even Lincoln, has gone so valiantly and fearlessly to the front for these fourteen millions of people, black, "despised and rejected of men." Especially is his taking off lamentable to the Negro for we have lost our champion, and while there are others, as Dyer of Missouri and Madden of Illinois, there is none who has the public ear as did he. It was said that there were only two men whom Wilson feared—he being one, the Kalser the other. He lived long enough to materially steer the course of this nation during the period of its greatest danger, for though denied any official place in the conduct of the war, though prevented from his cherished desire of leading an army to Berlin's gates, history will record his as the constructive mind giving pronouncement to ideals, the clarion voice which the nation listened for before action, the restraining hand with which the nation's chief magistrate had to reckon. His loss is irreparable. Never will come another Teddy. And with bowed head and bleeding hearts we stand, knowing that like Alexander, there is none able to wear his signet. But mayhap in another sphere there was need of Teddy. And good soldier that he was, he went all uncomplainingly to take up his more advanced duties out yonder where silence reigns supreme. And the world waves goodby, Teddy. You were loved by most of us, and if hated by others, respected for your integrity and freedom from gulle. As you crossed the bar and sailed into the great hereafter, we think you must have been accorded a mighty rousing welcome, and must have told them that you were "feeling bully" and had waded Death's waters that you might help out over there. You are merely preceding us by a few days. Goodby, Teddy, and Godspeed! CASWELL W. CREWS, From Our Foreign Correspondents Officers—1917. W. W. Fields, Cameron, Mo., Grand Master. C. C.

While there he called to see its very amiable and efficient president, in the person of President C. Richardson. One needs but to visit Lincoln to see some of the finest school work in the state of Missouri. The board of regents made a wise selection when Dr. C. Richardson was chosen president to succeed former President B. F. Allen, a man of sterling worth. Indeed it took a very strong educator to carry on the work as well as former President B. F. Allen, and we think the state has made no mistake in selecting President Richardson....The Lincoln Institute Alumni Association met at the residence of U. S. Grant Tayes January 10 and the following officers were elected for a tenure of six months, viz: Dr. E. L. Scruggs, president; Miss Bell Enloe, vice president; Mrs. Wheeler Sexton, secretary; Mrs. U. S. Grant Tayes, treasurer. Mr. William Flynn, J. H. Hemmingway, Charles Spencer, Miss Floyd King and Mrs. Yala Logan constitute the arrangement and entertainment committee. Mr. Flynn is chairman of the committee. The program committee consists of U. S. Tayes, chairman; Miss Alberta Rankens and Mr. John Burton....The selection of Dr. Scruggs as president of this association is significant of success in itself. Dr. Scruggs bears the unique distinction of being one of the greatest men and scholars graduated from Lincoln Institute. He is one of the state's foremost educators and ministers of the Gospel. He was for years the honored president of Western University, located at Macon, Mo., and has been an organizer of men and women for years. During his administration as chief executive officer of the association here, with his very able staff of officers, we look for the association to advance along all lines. We feel we as Alumnists should do all in our power to foster the good name of our Alma Mater and insure the great perspicuity which it justly deserves.

He is counting $10 bills. His cage is stacked high with bales of $10 bills. He is counting 100 bills every minute. He works ten hours a day, seven days a week. He is trying to count the money spent on the world war. But he will never, never be able to do!—not he nor his son nor USF his son's son, nor many generations to come. To count out in $10 bills the money spent on the war would take more than 1,000 years. Methuselah, who lived to be 969 years old, might have done it by working nights. No other mortal could. It must not be overlooked that Methuselah, either in his own time or ours, would soon have run out of currency. The world does not have, and never will have, in money of any denomination, the appalling sum of $221,000,000,000. Something like that is what the world has spent on the war that is passing into history, writes Glendon Allvine in the New York Tribune. These are figures that outdistance the comprehension of the wisest man that ever lived. The cost of the war transcends all the monetary conceptions which even a financier can conjure up. Nor is it much easier to conceive the toll of life that the war has taken. Great Britain alone has lost in the war about 1,000,000 men. France has lost perhaps 100,000 more. In a general way these figures mean something to us, but an illustration may help visualize these allied dead. Not more than 100,000 persons have marched in the greatest parade that Fifth avenue has ever known. Our preparedness parade, and possibly the Third Liberty loan parade, totaled that number of marchers. All day long they marched, and until after sundown. We thrilled at the sight of these living Americans. Let us visualize the march of the British dead. At daybreak they start down Fifth avenue, 20 abreast. Their fallen comrades follow a few paces behind, in close marching order. Until sundown these men who have "gone west" march down the avenue. The next day there is a similar parade, and the next, and the next. For ten days the British dead pass in review. For 11 days more the French dead file down the Avenue of the Allies. Three weeks of marching dead men. The Russians who died fighting for their empire that was would require the daylight hours of five weeks more. And for the other brave allied fighting men we must reserve a fortnight. Two months and a half for the allied dead to march past a given point. The enemy dead, although definite figures are not available, number about 4,800,000. For them to pass in review would require more than six weeks. Throughout all the daylight hours of June, July, August and September, then, the ghastly procession would continue. It is an appalling picture to contemplate. As preliminary punishment for the fugitive kaiser, for whom so many horrible fates have been suggested, there may be torture available here. For him to stand at attention throughout four hot summer months, while the ghosts of those he sent to death pass in constant review—surely, that might inflict mental agony enough to appense the most vindictive. Historians will finally agree that $221,000,000,000—or some such figure—was spent by the nations involved. They will eventually place the toll of dead at 11,000,000 or thereabout. They may decide that shipping was destroyed to the value of $2,000,000,000. But never, in computing the cost of the war, will they be able to estimate accurately these indirect losses; his son's son, nor many generations to come.

But never, in computing the cost of the war, will they be able to estimate accurately these indirect losses: Physical suffering. Increased illness. Property destroyed. Crops and trees devastated. Cargoes sunk. Property damaged by idleness. Industry crippled by diversion of men. Production diverted from creative to destructive purposes. Business development checked. Inflation of currency and increased prices. Of these indirect losses to the invaded territory which has been redeemed by the allied armies, Andre Tardieu, French high commissioner to the United States, says: Of these indirect losses to the invaded territory which has been redeemed by the allied armies, Andre Tardieu, French high commissioner to the United States, says: "The territories which have been under German occupation for four years were the wealthiest part of France. Their area did not exceed 6 per cent of the whole country. They paid, however, 25 per cent of the sum total of our taxes. These territories, which have been occupied again by us at the cost of our own blood and the blood of our allies, are now in a state of ruin even worse than we had anticipated. The very ground is torn, overturned, laid waste, damaged with shell splinters, and for months, maybe for years, unit for "The territories which have been under German occupation for four years were the wealthiest part of France. Their area did not exceed 6 per cent of the whole country. They paid, however, 25 per cent of the sum total of our taxes. These territories, which have been occupied again by us at the cost of our own blood and the blood of our allies, are now in a state of ruin even worse than we had anticipated. The very ground is torn, overturned, laid waste, damaged with shell splinters, and for months, maybe for years, unfit for production. The fruit trees have been cut, sawed down to the level of the ground. "Of the cities and villages nothing remains but ruins; 350,000 homes have been destroyed. To build them up again—I am referring to the build- THE MONEY IS FALLING It would take more than 1,000 years to count in $10 bills the money spent in the war. ing proper, without furnishings—400,000,000 days of work will be necessary, involving, together with building material, an outlay of 10,000,000,000 francs. "As regards personal property of every description, either destroyed by battle or stolen by the Germans, there stands an additional loss of at least 4,000,000,000 francs. This valuation of lost personal property does not include—as definite figures are lacking as yet—the countless war contributions and fines by the enemy, amounting also to billions. "I need hardly say that, in those wealthy lands, no agricultural resources are left. The losses in horses and in cattle, bovine and bovine species, hogs, goats amount to 1,512,000 head—in agricultural equipment to 454,000 machines or carts—the two items worth together 0,000,000 francs. "Now as regards industries, the disaster is even more complete. These districts occupied by the Germans and whose machinery has been methodically destroyed or taken away by the enemy, were, industrially speaking, the very heart of France. They were the very backbone of our production, as shown in the following startling figures: "In 1913 the wool output of our invaded regions amounted to 94 per cent of the total French production. And corresponding figures were: For flax from the spinning mills, 90 per cent; iron ore, 90 per cent; pig iron, 83 per cent; steel, 70 per cent; sugar, 70 per cent; cotton, 60 per cent; coal, 55 per cent; electric power, 45 per cent. Of all that, plants, machinery, mines, nothing is left. Everything has been carried away or destroyed by the enemy. So complete is the destruction that, in the case of our great coal mines in the north, two years of work will be needed before a single ton of coal can be extracted, and ten years before the output is back to the figures of 1913. "All that must be rebuilt, and to carry out that kind of reconstruction only there will be a need of over 2,000,000 tons of pig iron, nearly 4,000,000 tons of steel—not to mention the replenishing of stocks and of raw materials which must of necessity be supplied to the plants during the first year of resumed activity. If we take into account THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 1919. Four months would be required for men killed in the war to march past a given point. these different items we reach as regards industrial needs a total of 25,000,000 francs. "To resurrect these regions, to reconstruct these factories, raw materials alone are not sufficient; we need means of transportation. Now the enemy has destroyed our railroad tracks and railroad track equipment. Our rolling stock, which in the first month of the war, in 1914, was reduced by 50,000 cars, has undergone the wear and tear of 50 months of war. "Our merchant fleet, on the other hand, has lost more than a million tons through the submarine warfare. Our shippards during the last four years have not built any ships. For they have produced for us and for our allies cannon, ammunition and tanks. Here, again, for this item alone of means of transportation we must figure on an expense of 2,500,000,000 francs. This makes, if I sum up these different items, a need of raw material which represents in cost, at the present rate of prices in France, not less than 50,000,000,000 francs. "And this formidable figure does not cover everything. I have not taken into account the loss represented for the future production of France by the transformation of so many factories which for four years were exclusively devoted to war munitions. I have not taken into account foreign markets lost to us as a result of the destruction of one-quarter of our productive capital and the almost total collapse of our trade. I have not taken into account the economic weakening that we shall suffer tomorrow owing to the loss of 3,000,000 young and vigorous men." "To resurrect these regions, to reconstruct these factories, raw materials alone are not sufficient; we need means of transportation.

Compared to these, the losses accruing to the United States as a result of the war are, of course, slight. America has scarcely been "bloodied." It is true that the war may cost the United States possibly 50,000 lives—every one a precious offering to freedom—but several times as many Americans have died at home during the recent influenza epidemic. When we consider the number of Americans who died in our Civil war, our present losses seem almost trivial. The deaths from all causes in the Civil war totaled 618,528—about 75 times as many lives as the world war cost the United States. Those killed in action on the Union side alone—110,070 men fighting for the North—outnumber more than two to one the Americans who have recently died fighting overseas. When we consider the number of Americans who died in our Civil war, our present losses seem almost trivial. The deaths from all causes in the Civil war totaled 618,528—about 15 times as many lives as the world war cost the United States. Those killed in action on the Union side alone—110,070 men fighting for the North—outnumber more than two to one the Americans who have recently died fighting overseas. The financial contribution America has made toward defeating the central powers is magnificent—but comparatively a small sacrifice for the richest country in the world. To date the total war indebtedness of the United States is $17,852,377,000, distributed as follows: First Liberty Loan.....$2,000,000,000 Second Liberty Loan.....3,800,000,000 Third Liberty Loan.....4,175,000,000 Fourth Liberty Loan.....6,989,047,000 War Savings Stamps.....879,320,000 A fifth loan is being planned to help defray the cost of the war. The tax bill now under consideration by congress and other taxation will not net the remainder America has spent, or will spend to finish up the disagreeable job. But even if the war finally costs America $35,- 000,000,000—other estimates have varied from $20,000,000,000 to $50,000,000,000—that is a small portion of its national wealth.

Rules Governing Procedure of British House of Commons Will Have to Be Radically Revised to Fit New Times. Members of the British house of commons stand self-accused, and women are beginning to understand why there was so much opposition on the question of their being allowed to sit in parliament. "The house of commons is not a fit and proper place for respectable women to sit in," said Sir Hedworth Meux, making a speech in regard to the proposal. "I oppose this resolution," he continued, "not because I do not love the female sex, but because I adore women. But is it a proper thing for women to be sitting here until 11 o'clock at night? When we sit until 2 and 3 in the morning the historic cry of 'Who goes home?' will become 'Who will take me home?'" In the future the big strangers' gallery will be open to women as well as men, but the ladies' gallery will still continue to be restricted to the exclusive use of women, so that whatever of privileged sex position still remains in parliament will be to the advantage of the gentle sex. Thus are the tables turned. Many amusing queries are being put to perplexed politicians. The concentrated wisdom of a thousand years has made rules, and the rules have been for men only. One thing that becomes a problem is the etiquette of the hat. A rule in this connection is that if a member wishes to address the house he must remain "uncovered." Male members now have visions of the new woman member standing up and removing her latest Paris creation. Of necessity she must have a mirror to arrange her disheveled locks. Another point of etiquette decrees that when rising to speak in debate the member must be "covered." Will she in her hurry grab the hat off the head of the nearest victim so as to be in order? The hat problem becomes more and more complicated as matters proceed. When a member is referred to in a speech by another member—especially in the case of a compliment from a minister (and the male members gloomily foresee that women will get the lion's share of these)—he acknowledges it by raising his hat. By the time the female member has finished wrestling with half a dozen hatpins the minister will be through with his compliment and on to the next subject for debate. These, and other similar problems, are vexing political etiquette. What is going to happen to parliament if all the formalities and rules are to be swept away in a tempestuous whirl of petticoats? The honorable male members don't know—but the women declare the time thus saved will be spent in making common-sense laws for the good of mankind. Gone West. The phrase "gone west," used so much during the war, is not a new one in the language of the Maori, though he does not say it quite in that way. The Maori religion provides no such place as hell. A person gets his or her deserts in this life and afterward goes by "the broad path of Tane," i. e., the track of the setting sun, to a huge meeting place where are gathered the souls of all the departed. There they will wait till members of all the tribes and hapus and families who are still on earth have joined them, when all will move on to whichever heaven they are bidden to go. There are 12 heavens in the Maori's mythology. And the course which leads to any of them is the west. Quinoa Substitute for Wheat There has long been cultivated on the west coast of South America a plant called "quinoa," which botanists and coral experts believe may prove an excellent substitute for wheat, in fact preferable to the substitutes now in use, says the November Popular Mechanics Magazine. This plant, now attracting particular attention because of the shortage of foodstuffs, has been cultivated in South America in more or less primitive fashion, since pre-Inca days. The department of agriculture has imported several lots of quinoa seed and seed of related species, and is making experiments with it in the hope of finding suitable soil and climate in this country for its cultivation. Lonesome. Two or three cowboys from a ranch in the western part of the United States were sent to a camp near my home. Shortly after their arrival one of them was on guard duty until about 1 a. m., at which time he returned to the barracks, where he found everyone peacefully sleeping. He let out a cowboy yell, "Yip, yip, yip, yi, yi, yi, yi, yaa, hoo!" The rest of the men, waking up in alarm, asked what was the matter, and he replied, "I want you all to wake up and go to sleep with me."—Chicago Tribune.

PROTEIN FOODS WHICH ARE WITHIN YOUR PURSE. 100% Food Portions Supplying Equal Amounts of Protein: 1 Egg; 1 Glass of Milk; 1½ Ounces of Edible Portion of Meat; 1 Ounce of Cheese; 1¼ Ounces of Cottage Cheese. PROTEIN FOODS ARE NECESSARY Housewife Should Be Sure That Diet Contains Some Kind of Meat or a Substitute. MILK IMPORTANT FOR CHILD List Given Suggests Total Amount of Complete-Protein Food Desirable for Family Served in Form of Central Dish. In planning meals and when buying supplies, it is well to think of the following foods as in a class by themselves: Milk, eggs, cheese of all kinds, meats (excepting salt pork and bacon), poultry, fish and sea food. These foods are grouped together because they provide what is now called adequate or complete protein or protein combinations. The term "adequate" or "complete" is used in connection with these proteins because of their important relation to the proteins of the body. Protein is an essential part of all the tissues of the body, including the muscles, the blood, and the organs. The material out of which body protein is made is constantly changing. It is sometimes said that the muscles and other tissues of the body "wear out" and are in constant need of "repair." This is not an apt description of what really takes place, for it suggests periods of disorder in the body followed by periods of strength and well-being. As a matter of fact, the process by which body proteins take in new material to replace the old is a perfectly normal and healthy one which involves no "wearing out." The process does, however, create a never-ending demand for protein materials in the food. Two Kinds of Proteins. The proteins of the diet are found chiefly in two classes of materials. To the first class belong milk, eggs, cheese, and flesh foods, all of which are relatively expensive under most conditions of living, and to the second belong the cereals (wheat, oats, corn, barley, rice and rye), and also beans, peas, and cowpeas, all of which are relatively cheap. There is an important difference between the proteins of these two classes of foods. The first are complete and the second incomplete. This means that of the "building stones," or, as chemists say, the amino acids, necessary for making body protein, the first supply all, while the second, with a few possible exceptions, are lacking in one or two. To use bread or cereals in other forms to the exclusion of milk, eggs, cheese and similar foods is unsafe from the standpoint of health, but to use the latter foods in greater amount than is needed usually adds to the cost of the diet. It becomes an important matter, therefore, to know how much of the perfect protein food one should use. It is generally agreed that a child under six should have either one quart of milk a day, or better still, three-fourths of a quart and one egg. A child over six should have a minimum of a pint of milk a day and a small amount of the other foods in the group A family consisting of four adults—two men and two women—all doing moderately active muscular work, should have a quart of milk a day and at least one and a half pounds of other complete protein foods or their equivalent in milk. For supplying protein a quart of milk may be considered the equivalent of eight ounces of the other complete protein foods. Depending on Cereals. If the housekeeper decides to depend chiefly on the relatively inexpensive cereals, beans and peas, for most of the protein needed by her family, and to use the more expensive protein foods only in amounts sufficient for body needs, she has on her hands the problem of determining how far the small supply will go and what kind of dishes she can prepare from them. To begin with, she should remember that the usefulness of these foods is not dependent on the form in which they are served, providing, of course, they are prepared in wholesome ways. For example, an egg used in the preparation of muffins, corn bread, custard or ice cream goes as far toward making body protein as when it is boiled or poached. Most housekeepers serve a central dish of meat or meat substitute for dinner and for luncheon or supper and some serve such a dish for breakfast. This habit has the advantage of assuring a regular supply of the complete protein foods, but it may lead to the use of unnecessarily large amounts of them. A meal may be quite unusual in form and yet perfectly nutritious. It may consist of an unstrained meat soup containing the meat itself, with bread, or of cottage cheese with bread, butter, fruit, and vegetables. Or, it may seem to consist of dessert only, as when strawberry shortcake with milk as a beverage constitutes a supper or luncheon. The total amount of complete-protein food decided on by the housekeeper as desirable for her family may be served chiefly in the form of a central meat dish, or in the form of soups, vegetable dishes, and desserts as the following list suggests: Dishes Supplying Complete Protein. Soups. Meat soups with the meat left in. Purees of dried beans or peas if made with milk or served, as they often are, with slices of hard-boiled egg. Milk soups, particularly if thickened with egg yolks. Sauces. Cheese sauces. Milk sauces, particularly if enriched with egg yolks. Breads. Ordinary bread made with milk. Popovers, muffins, or other quick breads made with milk and eggs. Vegetables. Sweet corn baked with milk and eggs. Fritters made with vegetables or fruit cooked in batter. Tomatoes, peppers or onions stuffed with cheese or cheese. Meat and fish salads. Cottage cheese salad. Egg salad. Ice cream containing milk or milk and eggs. MEAT SUBSTITUTES No matter how much bread a person eats, or how much cornmeal or oatmeal, he falls short by just a little of obtaining everything needed for body protein unless he eats some of the complete protein foods. Eggs, cheese, fish, and poultry resemble meat in containing complete protein, and they are sometimes called meat substitutes. Cereals, beans, and peas, on the other hand, are called not meat substitutes, but meat savers. Use Apples Freely. The only fresh fruit many families in the North have during the cold months is the apple. Different ways of utilizing this kitchen standby are sure of a welcome from the cook. The department of agriculture suggests the following ways of serving the apple: Fresh apples may be stuffed with sausage and then baked; sliced and fried in fat to serve with meats, or served raw in salads. Canned, dried or stewed apples may be varied greatly by changing the flavors used. Canned apples make a delicious addition to custards or souffles, adding a piquant flavor. Canned, dried or fresh, they form an acceptable basis for Brown Betty made with crumbs. Fresh or canned, the fruit may be utilized in short cakes, and in apple sauce. CITY NEWS An Memoriam.

Being late winter ihodels they babble of spring and show which way. the millinery wind blows, although One of these alluring bits of head- there {s not @ straw among them, wear, calculated to coax the price of an extra-late winter hat out of almost anyone, 1s made of crepe georgette In a lovely pastel shade of pink. It 1s ‘a small hat, leaving the shape covered with folds of crepe fastened to It with long, crosswise stitches of heavy silk thread. Its facing of black panne vel- vet makes a wonderful setting for a youthful face. Just as we are about to make up our minds that this fs a spring hat our eyes light upon a small cluster of velvet fruits at the front which sets us to speculating—just put there for that purpose no doubt. Never was such a furry winter! No matter whether milady lives down on the Gulf of Mexico or up on the Cana- dian border she Insists upon furs of some sort and wears them regardless of the thermometer. One might think we were finally looking to the Esqul- maux for style inspirations, but a coal- less Paris probably set the pace In furs. When even the meager allow- ance of coal that French women make out with was denied them, they enveloped themselves In furs of all sorts. Real utility furs for cold climates make a story by themselves, ‘There fare short and long coats and coatees of all sorts of skins from undyed muskrat up to fine mink and sable. All the short-haired furs are requl- -sitioned for these most comfortable garments. But the most universally popular furs are in smaller pieces, wide scarfs, small capes, single skins worn as scarfs and combination gar ments, like cape-scarfs and cape-coats that are having a great vogue. ‘A pretty cape of caracul is shown fr the picture here. It is made in any of the popular furs with good effect an¢ often the shawl collar is of a differen kind of fur than the body of the cape ‘Upward curving scallops at the bot tom add to the gracefulness of thi little wrap, the curves gliding up @ each side until the cape shortens t elbow length over the arms, The hat worn with this cape ts A lovely black velvet hat, broad brimmed and bordered with a fringe of curled ostrich, proclaims the ceturn of the most beautiful feather as a ruler in the realm of fashion. And since black velvet makes its appearance at all seasons, this hat will be at home anywhere, Every woman who-is con- templating a new hat Just now will give this one consideration, ‘The big black hat knows nothing but vietory. ‘The last hat is a chenille and ts made in many colors. It is apparent- ly knitted or crocheted—a new kind of hat—an American product which has already sailed over seas to make a conquest of Europe, 1% heeps its shape without a supporting frame of any kind, and is very soft and very rich looking. This particular model has a scarf of velvet about tt em- broidered at the front with gay Ittle flowers of chenille. We can Imagine them blooming in any quarter of the globe and bringing a smile to the eyes that behold them, “blue devil" tam of satin with a band of fur about it, Hats, neckpleces and muffs to match are very chic, The chances are if we could see this lady's dress as well as her cape we would discover a band of fur about the bot- tom of the skirt for nothing could be smarter than fur from top to toe. et | “Suitcase” Dresses. “Suitease” dresses of georgette ot different colors are made to wear with one slip as, for instance, a yellow slip which has dark blue georgette for morning, light blue for afternoon, low yellow, sleeveless and elaborately beaded for evening, and yellow, with high neck, and long sleeves, finished with batik effect at hem, in octagon figures, irregularly shaded in yellows and browns. Colorful Blouses. ‘The colorful blouses attract the eye first, of course. Never were such col- ors combined in blouse wear, and the result 1s not garish and crude, as one might fancy when reading that “col ored walsts are the fashion.” It 4s quite the reverse; the new colored blouses are beautiful, and they seem to add just the right tone and Interest to winter costumes otherwise rathes dark and severe in hue, IMPKOVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL (By REV. P. B. FITZWATHR, D. D., ‘Teacher ‘of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright, 1918, Western Newspaper ‘Ualon,) LESSON FOR JANUARY 19 THE PASSOVER. LESSON TEXT—Exodus 13:1-36. GOLDEN TEXT—For even Christ our Passover was sactificed for us I Corin- thians 6:7. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL—Paalms 106: 36.58; Matthew 26:26-2; Hebrews 1:28. 1. The Passover instituted (12:1- 23). 1. The time set (v. 2). With the In- stitution of the Passover came a change tn the order of time. The com- mon year was rolling on as usual, but with reference to bis chosen people the order ts Interrupted and everything 1s made to date from this. This signi- fies that redemption is the first step in real life. “Old things have passed away, all things have become new.” Before this the man was dead in tres- pass and sin; now he has arisen to walk In newness of life, All before redemption counts for naught. The world thinks that real life ends when ‘one accepts Christ, but this {s a grave mistake, It is the beginning of real life. 2. The lamb set apart (v. 8). This previous setting apart of the lamb typifies the foreordination of Christ to be our Saviour, Redemption was not ‘an afterthought of God (I Peter 1:18 20). This lamb must be a male with- out blemish, indicating that it must be both representative and perfect. 8. The Iamb was killed by the whole congregation (vy. 6). This shows that {t was not for the Individual only, but for the entire assembly. The setting apart of the lamb was not sufficient, it must be killed, for “without the shed- ding of blood there ts no remission of sins.” The lamb might have been tied to the door of the Israelites that night, but there would have been no salvation, notwithstanding its perfec- tion, Had Christ's spotless life con- tinued till the present time and his matchless teaching gone on without Interruption, not a single soul would have been saved, for “Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die It abideth alone.” (John 42:24). 4. The blood of the slain lamb was to be placed upon the sideposts and Untels of the door (v. 7). It was not sprinkled upon the threshold, as it must not be trampled under foot (He- brews 10:29), When the destroyer passed through the land he passed over the houses where the door posts were sprinkled with blood. This blood was the evidence that a substitute had been offered for them. They could rest absolutely secure, because the matter had been settled according to divine arrangement. The blood was the ground of peace. The assurance Is not when you feel your sins are pardoned, but “when I see the blood I will pass over you.” 5, Israel feeding upon the Iamb (vv. $10). This denotes fellowship. Judg- ment must precede feasting, The ent- ing of unleavened bread signifies that no sin fs connected or allowed in fel- lowship with Christ. All who have en- tered Into the power of the cross will put away sin, 6, They ate the passover ready for action (v. 11). The loins being girt about, betokens separation from sin and preparation and readiness for service. The feet being shod indicates thelr willingness to leave the land. ‘The staff in the hand indicates their nature as pilgrims leaning upon a sup- port outside of themselves. ‘They were to leave behind them the place of death and darkness and march toward the promised land. 7. The uncircumetsed dented partiel- pation In the feast (vv. 43-49). Cir- cumeision was typical of regeneration. The significance of the requirement ts that only those who have become new creatures by the power of the cross have a right to sit at the Passover feast. Il. The Significance of the Passover (1224-28). It was a memorial institution, calling to mind the deliverance of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage— God's interposition on their behalf freeing them from their oppression. ‘This was to be taught to their chil- dren when they came into the land, from generation to generation, AM, The Awful Judgment (12:29, 80), ‘That night the destroyer passed through Egypt and slew the first born || in every home where the blood was not | found. An awful ery went up from ; Egypt that night. | IV.

They won the race against time by an eyelash, but they won, Really, you know, it was quite undignified—the way they ran for that train. They seemed to have an idea that to stop over night in St. Louis was something to be regretted. It looked as if they preferred to be on their way. Their flight through the streets and depot and train shed was positively head- long. Everybody got out of the ‘way except those who were too astonished to move. Those who got left appeared to be disgusted with life, St. Louis ap- parently dia not appeal to them at all, They got together and expressed their opinion of things in general and St. Louis in particular, What did they say? if Uh-huh! Well, that can’t very well be printed in a newspaper, especially in a St. Louis newspaper. Of course in Chicago people run to cross the streets ahead of street cars and automobiles. ‘They act as if they were going somewhere. In St. Louis such frantic haste is not considered good form. Chicago “hustle,” on the other hand, has become a byword. t : ; i ; “Billy Christmas” Caught by Detectives at Last ARON PA.—Lawrence Michael Farrell—the “Master Forger,” “Christ- mas Forger,” “Billy Christmas"—1s under arrest here. Farrell, better known as William Keough, one-time sparring partner of Jim Corbett, Jeffries, when the Christmas shopping was at its height that Farrell sauntered forth, attired immaculately in the latest styles, with silk hat and a jaunty stick, to make his purchases. It was then that he dealt heavily in forged drafts and travelers’ checks, Farrell’s operations are said to have netted him more than $25,000 a week through the Christmas shopping rush for many years. The biggest haul Farrell is said to have made was @uring the Christmas shopping season of 1913, when his operations in New York city, Boston and Philadelphia are said to have netted him $85,000. He decided to do his Christmas shopping in Chicago the following year and was able to put away for the rainy day about $25,000, much of which was picked up on State street with forged paper. William A Pinkerton, who was elated at the apprehension of Farrell, put Farrell second on his list of famous forgers.

My patriotic spirit gripped me and I enlisted under an assumed name.

Lilian May Have Been Spanked, but Twas Worth It Cee Lynch, at State and Adams streets, was accosted Christmas eve by a dapper young person of about fifteen who asked where an automobile could be bought. The policeman laughed. The young city and suburb had been searching for her for 18 hours, Lilian, it appears, got her father to sign his name on a blank sheet of paper. She wrote above it, “Please let my daughter draw on my account for all she wants.” Her Yather had $200 on deposit at the Home Bank and ‘Trust company and Lilian thought $209 was all she wanted and drew it out on the order.
