than ntituinn leaves, chosen for the
red and brown colors, used ns a cen
terpiece. In the center of tho loaves
might be a glass bowl of fern or other
pretty plant. Tills, surrounded with
four candlesticks with red shades,
would make a most attractive setting
for any of the following menus:

Food Values. )
It Is the sugar In a banana that gives
Its high food value. Sugar forms about
00 per cent of its bulk.
Fruit Is valuable largely because of
the adds It contains.
There Is Utile fat In fruit, but npplcs
contain more than any other sort.
The mineral salts In vegetables are
of great value.
Milk contains no starch, but It docs
contain sugar. It Is said that half a
pound of dates and a glass of milk
make a complete meal.
Nuts contain the food elements con
tained In mcnt.
Vegetables that grow underground,
tho tubers, have tile highest nutritive
value of any vegetables.
Soup of the clear broth order has lit
tie food value. Its value lies in tho
fact that It warms the stomach and
therefore helps It to start the digestive
process, and that, because of Its bulk.
It gives a feeling of satisfaction with
out the necessity of overburdening tho
stomach with concentrated foods.

"The American Stondard progrnm
for Boys," has been carefully worked
out by the boys' work secretary of the
International Y. M. C. A. and tho
opinion of specialists regarding its
value are reported by some of them as
follows:
'II believe the progrnm will distance
anything of its sort which has ever
been prepared." W. II. Burger, New
York, Y. M. C. A.
"It appeals to me stomgly. It hns
two particularly strong points' in my
opinion; it takes boys upon tho per
fectly natural grouping, and then
leaves more than the usunl plan to tin
initiative of the boys themselves."
