FOOD VALUE OF CORN.
A SariM •» Comparisons That la a
Study In Economy.
I have recently made an exhaustive
Investigation of the comparative food
value of the products of white corn,
and the results show these products to
he so much mi re economical than
many of the foods commonly used that
I believe it would interest your read
ers to see the comparison.
Tlie fo< d value of one pound of corn
meal, grits or hominy, costing 3 cents,
is equal to tlie food value of any of
j the following commonly used foods:
1 pound of wheat flour, costing.. 6 rente
1 pound of rice, cos:int. 9 ecu s
l'i pounds of cheese, costing.90 cents
2% pounds of round steak, costing fco cents
2 dozen eggs, coating.90 cents
V4 peck of potatoes, costing.4j cents
19 pints of milk, costing.20 cents
National prosperity has made us
1 prodigal of our resources and wasteful
I of our substance, particularly In the
matter of food, for which we have
been paying more iluin is commensu
rate with fetal values, and I believe ii
behooves Americans today to consider
tlie real nutritive \alue of tlie food
which they purchase and to know the
merits of white corn products, which
I believe to lie the cheapest nourishing
food which the housewife can buy on
the market today.
The south knows and appreciates the
value of white corn for table use. Why
not the north, east and west?—A. W.

LISPING AND STUTTERING.
Children 8hould Be Taught How to Uaa
Their 8p**ch Organs.
Lisping may be caused by a lack of
practice in tbe organs of speech. Stut
terers are recruited largely from the
ranks of the llspers. Children Imitate
the slovenly and disagreeable lan
guage of their elders.
Among tbe causes of lisping, In ad
dition to the wrong use of si>eecb or
gans, are abnormal teeth. Ups, tongue,
Jaw or palate. Some cases are appar
ently due to carelessness or haste In
reproducing speech sounds.
Lisping is not to be considered alt
normal unless It noticeably persists
beyond the age of five or six years.
T'sually the tendency to slur over
words disappears rapidly in tbe upper
grades of school. Fully one-fourth of
the children entering school suffer
from this speech defect
Many educators argue that the first
months of school should be given over
to exercises In oral language Intended
to form correct habits of speech. They
claim that the anxious haste of tlie
primary teacher to teach children to
read is unjustified and maintain that
if one-half <of the time used for phonic
drills were devoted to voice cultivation
many cases of stuttering would be pre
j vented.— Pittsburgh Tress.
Goldan Pots and Pans.
Should tbe shah of Persia desire to
pledge his kitchen requisites he might
realize £000,000. Every saucepan of

dishes which appear on the table are
of solid gold, as well as the spoons,
knives and forks. Tbe handles of the
latter, moreover, are ornamented with
costly stones, and some are worth as
much as £100 each.
In preparing lunch for the shah none
hut silver spoons can be used, and any
covering used for keeping cold meats
must also be of silver.
His majesty has a staff of over thirty
chefs, and altogether those employed
In his kitchen number nearly 120.
Tbelr wages amount to £300 a xneek. -

WAR MINISTER MAY
HEAD NEW CABINET
PARIS, Sept. 21.—Yesterday's ac
tion of the socialist party in refusing
to collaborate with Alexander Ribot
in forming a new ministry, which
caused M. Ribot after consultations,
to notify President Poincare that hp
was obliged to give up the effort, was
quite uuexepcted. An explanation of
the socialist step was given by some
of their deputies, who declared thai
when Premier Ribot announced that
a reconstruction of the cabinet would
take place the socialists were under
the impression that fundamental
changes would he made and it was on
that understanding that they agreed
to continue to collaborate with the
government. They found out, how
ever, that a majority of the existing
members would be retained. That be
ing the case, they considered the min
istry did not offer sufficient guaran
tees of either n more vigorous con
duct of the war or of a truly demo
cratic policy, the deputies explained,
and consequently the party decided to
withhold ts support.
In effect. It appears the principal
changes contemplated by M. Ribot
were the substitution of M. Bienvenu
Martini for Rene Vivian!, as minister
of justice; of Maurice Long for the
bueh criticised Maurice Vloletted as
minister of subsistence, and the cre
ation of a new ministry of national
reconstruction, to which Louis Lu
cien Klotz, president of the chamber’s
budget committee, was to have been
nominated. On the withdrawal of the
socialists, M. Rihot proposed to make
Louis Moucheur, who is under sec
retary of munitions in charge of the
manufacturing sections had rendered
yoeman service in organizing the in
dustries, minister in place of Albert
Thomas. When the new ministers
assembled. Professor Paul Painleve,
the minister of war, announced that
he would decline to continue in of
fice without socialist representatives
In the cabinet. This brought about the
collapse of the communicaU^n.
It is expected President Poincare
will ask Professor Painleve to form a
cabinet and there is a strong prob
ability he will succeed. Professor
Painleve, as minister of war, has
made an excellent impression in poli
tical circles and on the general pub
lic and in the army by the measures
which he has taken snee he has held
office. Notable among them was the
appointment of 'General Petain to be
commander-in-chief of the French ar
mies and the revival of the post of
chief of staff of the army for General
Foch. These have been received taxor-1
abhy.
