LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1911
EXTENSION DEPARTMENT SENDS OUT ADDRESS.
Dr. Bailey's Paper on "Cost and Value of Food" Sent to Labor Unions.
It is the purpose of the University to extend to the people of the state who cannot attend its classes at Lawrence the largest possible share of its educational benefits. In doing this, the Department of University Extension is co-operating with the existing organizations. The method employed by this department is to have different professors in the University prepare addresses; mimeograph copies are sent to the secretary of each of the trade unions, to be presented and considered, perhaps discussed at a meeting of the local organization.
There are in the state of Kansas 500 labor unions. E. B. Cowgill of the Extension department is at present sending to each of these an address by E. H. S. Bailey of the department of Chemistry. The subject of this lecture is "Cost and Value of Food," and is the first of a series. The secretaries of the unions are to reply if they desire to be placed on the list of those who will receive the lecures.
Prof. Bailey explains that the purpose in his address is to remedy the existing condition of waste of the American people He says: "We are called prodigal, not only in the use of our natural resources, but of food, clothing, and even of life itself." He divides his subject matter into what will contribute toward economy in food and its preparation and the chance there is for improvement in the selection of the foods best fitted to nourish the body.
Some of the things that will contribute to needed economy of food are given as follows: (1) Stop eating more than is needed. (2) Stop the waste in the selection of food. (3) Do not waste good food by throwing it away. (4) Remember that food bought in small packages often costs more than it is worth. (5) Contradict the fallacy that "the most expensive food is best." (6) Do not purchase food out of season. (7) Remember that the best of food may be spoiled by bad cooking. (8) Fuel is often wasted in cooking food from lack of fore thought. (9) Since the cost of living has so much increased the person providing and preparing the food must adopt a more careful system and thus avoid waste.
Prof. Bailey says: "Dried beans are not in favor with some because of the label on the 'Boston Baked Beans' which looks so attractive." He advises for economy and health that hams and shoulders be pickled and smoked at home, fruit "put up" in jars in place of buying it in cans and in order to save the cost of delivery of small packages from the grocer that groceries be purchased in large quantities.
Statements are quoted by Dr. Ladd of North Dakota, Mrs. Richards a leading authority in this country, Dr. Wiley of Washington, and John Locke, the eminent Englishman.
Prof. Bailey concludes by saying: "By economy in the selection and preparation of food, the quantity of the 'good things of this life' will be increased, and by intelligent care as to what we eat and how much, health will be improved and life prolonged."

MEET CORNHUSKERS ONTRACKSATURDAY
ATHLETES LEAVE FOR LI
COLN TORROW.
Hamilton Believes That Kansas Will Win—Dope Has It 64,45.
Tomorrow morning at 11:20 nineteen members of the University track team will go to Lincoln where they will meet Nebraska in the first outdoor meet of the season. Coach Hamilton is optimistic over the prospects for winning the meet and predicts that with an even break of luck Kansas will take the meet by at least nineteen points.
The two Woodbury are expected to take both places in the hurdles and French is counted a sure winner in the high jump and Wilson may take first in the broad jump. Kansas will probably take both places in the pole vault. Tod Woodbury with his record of eleven feet, six inches last Saturday and Clem Parker going over the bar at eleven feet look good for eight points. Ammons will take seconds in both the shot put and the discus. The relay is in doubt but Coach Hamilton is counting on Black, Fairchild, Gribble and Captain Hamilton to turn the trick. According to the dope as put out by coach Hamilton today the result of the meet will be Kansas 64 and Nebraska 45.
In the 100 and 220 yard dashes Kansas should take at least five points and in the quarter mile Black is counted on to take a second. The half mile promises to be the most hotly contested event in the meet with Patterson opposing Anderson. Watson has been showing excellent form in the mile and is counted on to take first place. In the two mile Nebraska has men who are unknown to Kansas but there is a good chance for Osborne to take first. Fisher who has been running in this event for Kansas is forced to stay at home on account of school work.
Prof. J. W. Young, of the department of Mathematics, left last night for Hanover, Massachusetts, where he was summoned by the authorities of Dartmouth University to consider a proposition of accepting a position in that institution.
OFFERED PROFESSORSHIP
The men who will go to Lincoln are Captain Hamilton, C. Woodbury, H. Woodbury, French, Roberts, Schwab, D. Davis, Black, Fairchild, Gribble, Patterson, Kraus, Watson, Osborn, Murray, Wilson, Ammons, Parker, G. Smith and Coach Hamilton and Trainer Burgess.
Prof. J. W. Young May go to Dartmouth.
A number of telegrams have been exchanged but as yet the professor has made no decision and will go to Dartmouth to look over the situation. He will be gone a little over a week.

FINE ARTS WILL HELP
Lawrence Merchants Will Give Programs For Fete.
One of the features of the publicity campaign for the May Fete this year will be hand painted posters which will be placed in the several popular student resorts and in the various buildings. These posters are twenty in number and are the work of the members of the school of Fine Arts. Commencing next Friday a few of them will be posted and these will be changed daily.
The Lawrence Merchants association has agreed to furnish the programs for the Fete and the committee in charge is preparing copy for a program that will be in the nature of a feature booklet.
DR. WILBER RESIGNS
Growth of Work And Change of Administration Policy Responsible—Knew Many Students.
Dr. F. A. Wilber has announced to his board of trustees that he will conclude his connection with the work of Westminster hall at the end of the present academic year. Six years ago the Westminster Association for Biblical Instruction called Dr. Wilber to inaugurate a Presbyterian student pastorate at the University. After five years of work, in surroundings not adapted to the needs of the pastorate, the new hall on Oread avenue was built. The growth of the work, with largely increased running expenses, and changes in the policy o administration, have decided Dr. Wilber to withdraw from the enterprises of which he has been able to lay the foundations. Although the Presbyterians of Lawrence have given the work most loyal support, the endowment fund has not yet been brought up by the state at large to the maximum of requirement needful for the highest efficiency of the enterprise.
During Dr. Wilber's Work here his classes have been conducted not simply for Presbyterians but for students of any other or no denominational preference.
Dr. and Mrs. Wilber and Miss Pauline Sage in their instruction have greatly aided the Y. M. and Y. W. Christian Associations in the Bible and mission courses. They have in fact so identified themselves with all the activities of the University life that the severing of their connection with the work of Westminster hall will be felt as a distinct loss by many students.
Two Speakers at Y. M. C. A.
The speakers at the Y. M. C. A. meeting this evening will be A. G. Aldrich of New York, traveling secretary of the students' volunteer movement. His subject is "The Fundamental Principles in Choosing a Vocation."
After his address Perry O. Hanson, the first general secretary of the University Y. M. C. A., will speak. Mr. Hanson was secretary for the year 1899 and 1900. In 1903 he went to China and has been there until he returned recently. He will speak on some phase of his work while there.
Boodin Will Speak at Ottawa.
Prof. J. E. Boodin will deliver the baccalaureate address at the Ottawa high school on May 21. Last Saturday he completed the course of extension lectures at Atchison.

Notes of the Election.
In the Engineering building today, the judges closed the polls at noon while they went home to dinner.
At noon today in the school of Law the ballots were cast and it was found that only seven Law students had not voted.
The excitement attached to general elections was lessened to some extent today by the fact that the girls had no place in the election.
A new wrinkle in K. U. politics was introduced yesterday by Jesse Gephart one of the successful candidates for councillor from the College. He sent out individual letters to every voter in the College.
At chapel time in the College the voting booths were filled and window sills and walls were used as supports while the ballots were marked. To stop this the judges required the voters to stand in line and the line extended nearly to the front door. In the afternoon however the voting was extremely low.
