The Housewives' league held its]
r. gular monthly meeting Monday af-
ternoon in the City Hall. There was
a good attendance. Dr. DeBarr gave
a most interesting and instructive
lecture on "Pure Food," describing
the methods of preparation of spices,
pepper, catsup, vinegar, meats, chick-
en. fish, flour, breakfast foods and
canned goods. The names of some
of the most reliable brands of food
were mentioned and the importance
of reading labels was emphasized.
The majority of people do not oat
' enough bulky material, nor do they
\ realize Ik. v nutritious and benelicial
whole wheat bread it. Rice, too, is
| a splendid food and at the present
inflated prices of other staples,
' should be used to assist in reducing
: the high cost of living. There are
many appetizing ways in which rice
I may be prepared and be made to
i substitute for the precious potato.
I Dr. Adams gave a short talk on
probable developments in food prob-
lems in this country. He has recom-
mended to the government that it
establish markets throughout the
country. In the southern states thou-
sands of pounds of food go to waste
because there are not shipping facili-
ties. The government could instruct
the county demonstrator to buy up
food; this would stimulate production
and also afford competition with the
middleman, if the government goes
to the farmer, there would be no
| graft in feeding the army.
i The suggestion lias been made that
during the war. the government take
j all profit over 8 per cent that is
i made in selling food.
j In the milling of fine white flour
J only 10 per cent of the food value of
| the wheat is utilized, w hereas with
I whole wheat lour 82 per cent is
saved. It should be punishable by a
heavy fine to grind white flour dur-
ing the war.
In this time of naitonal crisis it
is all important for women to con-
serve and increase the food supply.
We must economize as never before.
The next meeting of the Housewives'
1 League, the second Monday in May,
will be a symposium nf ways and
means of food economy. Everyone
who has any special schemes or sug-
gestions is urged to report them at
this meeting for the benefit of others.
Every woman in Norman and the
vicinity is heartily welcome.

"Any boy who has a little money
to go on, good health and the right
kind of stuff in him can get nil edu-
cation at the University of Oklahoma
without outside aid."
This statement comes from Earl
Brown, in charge of the employment
bureau of the Y. M. C. A. at the Uni-
versity of Oklahoma. He is a student
who spends all his time outside of
study hours aiding students and jobs
to get connected up. And he is al-
most constantly looking for men to
take jobs.
Conditions at the University of
Oklahoma are declared to he more
favorable for working .-tudents than
in any other college in the west. Al-
though Norman, the University City,
is purely a residence town with no I
factori' in which employment may
lie obtained, tudents find plenty of
employment in hoarding house-, offi-
ces, etc., where everything to steno-
graphic work to washing dishes is
1 done by young men and women who
are working theif way through the
university.

Effective April 7, Bill resigned to
take the position as editor of the
Norman weekly paper, the Democrat-
Topic, where he will run both the
editorial and business side of the
newspaper.
Soon after his arrival at the uni-
versity in the fall of 1913. Campbell
jumped into thi newspaper game. In
1914-15 he was assistant editor of
the University Oklahoman, and cor-
respondent for the Oklahoma Times,
in 1915-10 he served as ' ditor of the
University Oklahoman, and in the
summer of 1910 was vadent as-
sistant in journalism.
It is possibly due to Bill's hard
work more than anything else that
tin Oklahoma Daily is now being
published instead of the seml-
weeklv University Oklahoman. In
bis efforts to give the student body
a real newspaper. Bill has probably
worked harder than any thlete who
