5 Wwe si, www, Yi 25? in i One of the most instructive pro- ,iccts in the studv of foods has been the feeding of a pair of white rats, on diets varying in vitamin content. Both rats are growing, but the one fed on milk and vegetables has grown much faster than the other one. Under the Smith-Hughes program, the Home Economics department con- ducts a lesson on Wednesday nights for ten weeks, for the benefit of adults in Home Making. Over sixty women have attended this course, directed by Miss Jennings and Miss Moore, and the demonstra- tions have been on best methods for food conservation, and for providing the highest nutritional values. This work is of great value to the commun- ity, in these days of food rationing. All lessons are free ot' charge.
