ALPHABETICAL EATING * ^JTJO you ever get tired of plan* Twining menus? This story does (j not refer to the alphabetical 4t>up in which children take such delight, but to the device of a bachelor to solve the problem of choosing meals constantly at clubs, hotels and restaurants. Even bachelors have their food problems, although all that some of them have to do is to make up their minds while looking over a menu with an attentive waiter hovering be side them. How much more diffi cult It Is for the housewife who has no menu of happy suggestions before her, but must evolve from her own experience and inner con sciousness not only what foods to have but how to cook and serve them! This bachelor hit upon the plan of alphabetical eating. He decided that at each meal ho would eat only foods the names of which started with one particular letter. When he confided this scheme to a friend, the latter cynically r*- marked that he preferred to di versify his diet, and suggested one from the two extremes of the al phabet—apples, asparagus, iwie- baek and toolak rm DHUcmK Rut the bachelor persisted In his plan, and got aloag fairly well drle by Including dried foods under D. until he reached the fifth letter ef the alphabet. There he found himself apparently limited to eels.

S and T. with the feed supply rapidly lapertug off In the C was his most successful day under the new plan. He had cocktails, clams, celery, chicken, corn, cheese and coffee, and a host of other good things for dinner, and topped off his C evening by taking a cab to a musical comedy to see the chorus girls before he retired to his couch. Then He Got Married Then he got married, but when he made his helpful housekeeping suggestion to bis bride, she laughed so hard that he really felt hurt about it. But the sug gestion was not entirely lost. His wife couldn't get it out of her head. Being a wise woman and economical, she used a proper pro portion of canned foods, and she soon found out. as he had, that C Is a great gastronomlcal letter. * The canned vegetables In C are cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery and corn (cream style, whole grain, kernelettes and on the eob) t The canned fryJU *r« che/r‘bs (red. whitf find black), trahapples. cranberries and cur rants.

Lcm Cotton Planted This Year Than Last ReducUou le About One sod a Quar ter Milltea Aeree, Says Depart- • meat ef Agricultsrv. Washington.— Voluntary reduction on the part of planters wms credited today by Carl Williams, farm board member represent mg cotton, for the million sad a quo iter acres less rut- ton in cuHivntion on July 1 than n year ago as reported by the depart ment of agriculture. Cotton in cultivation in the United Stntes wns announced ns aggregating 45,815,000 acre*, compared with 47,- 067,000 seres—the revised ares in cul tivation a year ago—and 45,981,00 seres picked last year when s crop of 14,821,499 equivalent 500-pound bales of lint was ginned. The department report, Williamt? said, takes into consideration the re planting of late cotton or areas aban doned because of drought, excessive tain and insect damage. The reduc tion in his opinion, represents the extent to which cotton farmers went to meet the wishes of the farm board. Without asking a specific reduction the board told farmers at planting time that when the cotton acreage reached 40,000,000 acres it had reach ed the danger line so far as produc tion was concerned. Logically, the board figured a 7,- 000,000 acre reduction necessary, but Williams said he had counted on no more than a 3 per cent reduction. Consequently he said, he was “con tented, but not satisfied.” “You can see how cotton farmers respond to thq acreage reduction campaign,” Williams said, “when you consider that at planting time the prospects were for a 3 to 5 per cent increase in acreage. The 2.7 per cent reduction means that from 5 to 8 per teat wms lopped off the original in- Social and Personal News from Willis ton Wllltatoa, July It.—Mr. and Mr,. A. K.
