C>nt of the smoke the voice of tho
Honoruhh Hobs continued the trend
of a:i aig ..in nt on social questions
started b> Major Graham.
"And I s;.\ that there Is work for

.so far forgot his habitual love of i use

Lord Henry's wont. !e took greater in
terest. "I'll bet yon the lapsi thing in
aircraft that you can't support your
self V.y your own labor for three
wi eks."
"It's a go!" The Honorable Hobs
rtnchi 1 across the table and ho and
la>nl ll-nr\ clasped hands. "Aircraft
is rather high. old boy," he remarked,
and a general laugh followed. "You
know there are goo.I wages waiting
for men who ran lift boxes down on
the docks. You had,better be putting
in tlmt order for ir>y biplane."
The vision of the immaculate Hobs
lifting freight on the filthy wharfs
was too much for Lord Henry, and he
went off into one of his frequent, fits
of healthy laughter.
Tin Honorable Hobs remained quite
indistui bed. That he was going to
win that biplane and show same people
that there was work for willing men
was shown in the delightfully steely
expression in his bl t i> a. So patri
otic was thi Honor it i. ie L.bs that tho
first months of the war saw him hack
from the front with an arm so shat
ter ed as to llsablu hfni for a second
trip to the trenches. He grumbled dis
contentedly at the fate that prevented
him fiorn rejoining his comrades In
the firing line.
"I'll pilot my own aircraft and drop
a few bombs with my left hand, watch
me," he laughed.
"We will be busy watching you lift
that freight on the docks with your
left hand before we s> e the biplane
and bombs," said Lord Henry dryly.
A .spasm of pain crossed his face for ho
had attempted to move the bandaged
leg boneatli the table He muttered
Home few curt words that were not
ila'.teiing to the enemy and resumed
his bantering manner.
Th< les'.ili of .Ma or Craiiam's bache

Hob. r t 1 ngr ahain spent the following
morning looking through the columns
of the newspaper. "Positions Vacant"

went strainht Into the ai.r.
"And who," she asked with tilted i

Dickey?"
"That," said Mrs Chutney, "is the
adorable Rrltlsh hero whom 1 have
selected as a befitting mate for my
liveliest American hud. He is the
Honorable Robert lngraham, com

"Humph!" I-eona was guilty of a

It was Leona herself who made a
quick way back to Mrs. Chutney. ,
"Please don't Illnc your lovellest

"I am sorry." her hostess told her
with a short laugh, "but 1 have al

The women who suffer from cold

The circulation of the blood then drops

"all Ingredients are standard drugs '
listed In the I'nlted States l'harma-j
copoela, the official standard for doc- j
tors and druggists." Incidentally, it l
woidd be hard to concoct a shotgun I
formula without Incorporating official I
pharinacopoclal drugs, for the simple i
reason that nearly all druus, good, bad I
and indifferent, are there listed. This1
trick Is like tho one which tells you!
the nostrum "contains no alcohol." but
fails to mention the opium or other j

Standard Meals
nr MARTIH WK'TfUTin
When we so a a thlnp too often we ]
disregard ft. This column. for Instance,
is headed "standard meals." We ask
first why "standard." and then take, no
further note. They are standard ba
cause they are balanced All the neces
sary fond combinations a?-e contained
In these menus. In Mrs. Rorer's cook
imr class yesterday she dwelt particu
larly on the necessity of proper combi
nations.
In meat you fret protein, the tlssue
hulldlmr food: in starchy vegetables,
such as rice, potatoes, or macaroni, the
heat and energy-produclnc food, and
In the preen vegetables, such as spin
ach. turnips, carrots, kale, snaps and
egurplant. the minerals and waste pro
moters. |
These waste promoters are very Im
portant, and come In the class of carbo
hydrates. They contain lots of water
and a fibrous woody material that Is
bulky and causes a How of the digestive
juices, thus promoting the movement
of food along the digestive tract.
It Is wise to select your vegetables
In season for several reasons. They are
less expensive th*n and ?>f better <iual
Ity. There are certain rule* to follow
in cooking vegetables. First, always
cook th<-m In boiling water. Cook preen
vegetables uncovered to retain their
color. In vegetables which have a high
percentage of water add little or no
water to 1:00k. for In pouring off the
water you lose the nutritive value.
Those having a strong odor like onions,
cubbage and turnips should not be cov
ered when cooking.
The moist coneentratcd foods are the
dri?-d ones, such as peas, beans and
lentils, and they are best served as
soups and as soudle. When a concen
trated food Is served there should he
a green vegetable served with it, as
there is with moat, and for the sanio
reason?to give bulk and make the
proper food combination.

TAZKWKI.l,, VA., February 2?5.?The
.bitterest and most sensational flf;ht that
| has been waged in this section for years
j is now on between the saloon faotlonB
I In Pocahontas over the granting of
I li(|?ior licences. Four members of the
; Pocahontas f'ity Council favor an un
j limited number of licenses, while the
| other four members favor a limited
{number of licenses, restricting the
! number to ten Instead of twenty or
I more as heretofore.
j The four who favor limited liccnso
; have absented themselves from the
| meeting of the Council, thereby break*
? ing up a quorum. A hearing was had
in court here this week, the question at
j issue being whether or not the four
members of the Council who have at
tended ihe sessions, and the Mayor, con
I stltute a quorum, the court deciding
i that su.-b was not the case.
? A report Is current here to-day that
j the four members who favor a limited
license will positively refuse to attend
the meetings, making it impossible for
the council to grant licenses at Poca
hontas which expire the ilrst of May.
The fijrlit is becoming so hitter that it
is not at all Improbable that Pocahontas
will be a dry town after May 1.

lt.\I,KUMI, X. February 20.?-There
will bo u definite and thorough Inves
tigation by a special commission from
the Mouse of Itoprosiciitativcs into the
JikIro Frank Carter-Solicitor Charles
I. Abernnthy contempt case from New
born, and of the vhnrKi'H against the
moral character of Judge Carter, that
have grown out of the conflict over
thf contempt Judgment. This was
finally settled this evening by Judiciary '
Committee No. 1 of the House by a
unanimous vote to report favorably
the resolutions by ltepresvntative
t'iark, <if Hladcn, providing for such
an investigation. The re.=olutlonn will
he returned to the Mouse to-morrow
morning with ibe favorable report by
Kcprescuta tl ve Aired, of Johnston j
County, for tin- committee.

nteiid the inv?stli; t ? ? ri > one after an
ex ecu t i v t hearing ol < ounsel for hot It
Solicitor Abcrnatliy and Judge Carton
during which Judge I S Marin;!!- made
an impassioned speech, in which he de
manded, on behalf of Judge Carter, that
there be the fullest sort of investiga
tion. He de.elared that these insinua
tions and r *1 mors, utiba-hed by any
deiinlte or substantiated statements,
had been handled about to such an ex
tent by those resisting the Judgment in
the contempt proceeding* that there
must, in Justice to Judge Carter, be
an in vest (cation. He said Judge Car
ter has built up hims' If a character*
and reputation that could not be swept
away by rumors maliciously circulated.
The committee has not received any
evidence as to the truth or the falsity
of any of tho rumors mentioned In the
Clark resolutlonx, and has made no at
tempt to look Into the case beyond the
declarations In the Clark resolutions
and thi resolutions of bar associa
tions and indl viduals commending
Judge Carter or urging that Solicitor
Aberiiathy had not received a square
d? al in the contempt case.
When the resolutions are reported
favorably to-morrow, and are passed,
there will follow the appointment of
a commission of five members of the
House to make the investigation, after
tho manner of a court summoning and
examining witnesses. Then on the find
ings of this commission will depend
further action. If the charges against
?Indue Carter's moral character are not
sustained, there will he vindication,
and If sustained there will necessarily
follow Impeachment proceedings, in
which a committee from the House
would prosecute before the bar of the
Senate.

t ho opportunity, brazenly, thouuh at

in ill" process creates embarrassing and

Jerry Is unmistakably Hllllo Burke,
