Mention Leader when writing advertisers i | EAR Alice: When I came to that part of your recent letter which spoke of one big de- partment store, I fell to day dreaming. I just lét myself (and incidentally the breakfast dish- washing) £o and dreamed of such a store as the one you wrote about. I was so entranced that I even dreamed of having, all the money I needed to spend! = No, Alice, they did not nced to call the family doctor! - I -have a strong constitution which has withstood many shocks. I saw a coat that was just what I wanted for Louise.. Dear, gentle, over- worked Louise, always willing to help in the struggle for existence; whether indoors or outdoors she is capable and cheerful. WANTED DAUGHTER TASTEFULLY DRESSED Yet, never, in her fifteen years of life has Louise worn anything that was really good, beautiful and adapted to her individuality, My fingers trembled . as I held the soft, thick garment be- fore my satisfied eyes. I hastened to the boys’ clothing de- partment. What a fine overcoat and suit I selected for Charlie, born, eighteen years old this fall. 'As I write he sits upon a sulky plow in the chill November wind, clad in faded, thin, patched garments; hands chap- ped, lips cracked and bleeding from wind and alkali. You know, Alice, how our boys must dress and you can imagine my joy when I remembered that I had all the money | needed. No cheap, ill-fitting, shoddy garments for Charlie this time. Charlie shall look like the young men who are shown on the screen to adver- tize the best clothing made. It won't always be a dream—some day it must be possible, that those who spin and weave, sow and reap, dig the coal, build the houses, pay the taxes, obey the laws and rear the .children shall have those things for themselves. WOMEN KNOW DOLLAR’S VALUE No, our ways are not men’s ways! If ours were like theirs they couldn't have those ways! We have a better conception of the value of a dollar. : We have gained it from dire experience. Yet, I must tell you how I feel when 1 buy a house dress or suit that is really a “bargain.” I'm ashamed. I think of the underpaid seamstress, cotton-pick- -er, factory hand, sales girl and others until it takes the satisfaction away. 1 think of the “Song.of the Shirt” we recited so unthinkingly in our school days. When I read that paragraph of your letter in which the husband suggested that women wanted to patronize a large number of department stores so as to exercise their personal liberty in shopping, I thought of my little saddle horse. WOMEN DRIVEN TO HUNT BARGAINS ‘We brought her with us from Minne- sota where she had roamed at will’ in clover pastures and she resented picket ropes and buffalo grass 'here. She would run as hard as she could and throw herself in vain attempts to gain her liberty. But, at last, she satisfied her pride by never going to the end of the rope. my first- ’ - baby boys are different. Sl e el ‘Human Side to Shopping Bargains; Another “Alice” Letter Is Answered Our needs are the picket ‘and " the amount in our purses the rope and:if we seem to have personal liberty and to enjoy’ buying from' Mr, Field, Mr. Mandel, Mr. Ward .and Mr. Roebuck’it - is because we have ‘learned, like the * horse, not to pull on the rope -if we would have contentment. . 1im I realize that the League.will be able to lengthen the rope, but John need - not fear that we will break our necks by running in the opposite direction if we find a good department store with- in reach. In fact, I don't believe we would be losing much of our-liberty if you and I owned stock in such a-store. MEAT SUBSTITUTES Below is given the way that certain foods compare with beefsteak (round) in protein, the tissue building part, and. fat, the other nutrient found in meats. Salmon, eithér fresh or canned, almost the, same; cheese’ (cream) 1-4 more. Protein and ‘three times as much fat; peanuts (hulled) +1-4 more protein and.: three and one-half times as much fat; beans (dried) a‘little more protein.and 1-5 as much fat; eggs (1 doz.) about the same in protein and 1-2 more fat. WATCH FOR THE PRIZE WINNERS The Leader’s big prize contest for farm women closed December 13, and the judges are now going through the great mass of let- ters received. The response was greater than auticipated, and has made heavy work for the judges. Hundreds of letters from “nearly all states in which the League is organized poured in. They were fine letters. If possible the winners will be announced in next weelk’s issue, but if this is impossible, announcement will be made the following week. At any rate the winners will re- ceive their prize money in time for Chrstmas. The Leader wishes to thank its hosts of women readers for their generous response. It has shown what the Lieague means to them. It is compensation for the efforts constantly put forth to make the Nonpartisan Leader responsive to the highest. welfare of all the people. It has proved our effort is meeting with success. Many letters besides those winning the four big cash prizes will be published and their writers will be paid $1 .each and receive honorable mention. ‘Watch for the letters! PAGE TWELVE WOMEN SHOW INTEREST : .““Alice’s”’ letters in the Leader are awakening farm women in many places to reply to her interesting suggestions. 'Al}c_e is a woman who thinks, and although she now-lives im the city, she once lived in the country, and sees things from a rural, as well as a city viewpoint. Here is another answer that one of her let- ters aroused. It is a genuine letter. from a farm woman, who wished to sign only her first name, as ‘‘Alice’’ does: . The letter shows that the hearts of country women beat in sympathy with those of the city. It shows the human side to this “‘shopping”’ business that people often treat:so lightly. | . PICK OUT THE GIRLS escs Ly | i § ] i I've heard that there are s England. I wish I had about them. S I can see, though, how" would * be if we could have publicly owned stores where only-good material, well-made, madé to use and not simply to. sell, .could be purchased at a price that would be an equal exchange of our labor for that of the people who ‘produced-and ‘brought ‘to us the things - we need. , . . . FLORENCE. P..S. Mercy-on-us! (as mother used to say) here is Charlie and .dinner not ° ready. Here's a good chance to test the theory that the feaiures .of baby girls and Most mothers think they can tell. ~Gro1ivth Stirhulu§ in Food There are certain materials not well ‘understood yet that stimulate growth, In experiments at the Wisconsin Col- :lege of Agriculture, it was' found that when other fats were substituted for -butter fat or the fat in the yolk of an cregg in the food fed young rats, they “ stopped growing till either butter fat or the fat from the yolk of an egg was fed. It was also found that there is another kind of growth material found Guite abundantly in milk, in the yolk of an egg, in fresh meat, fresh fish, in the outer seed coats from the cereals and legumes as peas, beans, lentils, These .growth stimulating materiala not only produce growth but make the body more resistant to disexse. In these days of high pricés it is im- portant to keep in mind the importance of such foods as milk, butter and eggs, for the growing.child as well as to pro- vide breads containing some of the bran. The white wheat flour and po- lished rice have had the .growth stimu- lating material removed. Milk and but- ter or whole milk are, however, the greatest = growth producing and growth stimulating foods and the nu- trients in ‘milk are comparatively cheap. A quart of milk contains as much nutrient as a half a pound of meat, in‘addition*to the growth stimu- ‘lating material and there is no waste.
