KEEPING up APPEARANCES.

If all those who are keeping up
appearances would sensibly reduce
their expenses, there would be
plenty of respectable company for
all. One of the great points is TO
begin right. A little house means
less trouble to take care of it, and
a knowledge of cooking implies the
ability to use moderate-priced
materials. The wearing of I'M
fashionable and well-mended clothes
proclaims the independence of the
wearer. The cutting down of minor
expenses implies strength of charac-
ter. And THIS cutting down, to be
worth anything, must be done sys-
matically, and not by fits and starts,
and its object explained to the
family. Character and conduct,
what one is rather than what one
has, is the real test of standing in
any community Elizabeth Jour-

The COST OF FOOD.

My own Investigations led me to
take the average consumption of
operatives in New England and the
Middle States-two-thirds TO three
fourths women and children, the re-
mainder boys and men--as a fair
standard of the cost of food on the
average throughout the country. 1t
is probably a high standard. 1t
resolves itself substantially into the
following subdivisions, disregarding
small fractions: Meat, poultry, and
fish, ten cents day; dairy pro-
ducts, consisting of milk, one-half
pint, butter, one and one-fourth to
one and one-half ounces, and cheese,
a scrap, five cents day; eggs, one
half cent a day; bread, vegetables,
sugar, tea, coffee, salt, rice, and
spices, nine and one-half cents u
day. Total, twenty-five cents.
Suffice it that the range of differ
ences in this estimate in the eastern
section of this country would prob
ably lie between twenty and twenty
five cents a day. In either event,
substantially three-fifths of the price
of food is paid for animal products,
two-fifths for all else. If we take
twenty-five cents as the standard of
days ration for an adult, on the
basis of the factory operatives, and
assume the consuming power of the
present population of the United
States as that of 50,000,000 adults
at ten cents day for meat, poultry,
and fish, the total yearly expendi-
ture would be 1926, 100000; five
cents day for milk, butter, and
cheese, 1912, 100000; at one-half
cent day for eggs, S91,250, 900.
This would give total expenditure
for consumption, at market prices,
for animal products, of S2,82S, $780,
600.
If this estimate of the consump-
ton of animal products is approNi-
mately correct, it is about double
the value of all fibrous substances
when converted into cloth, the cloth
converted into clothing, carpets,
drapery, and the like, all being dis
tributed for final consumption, in
Guiding the domestic product and
the foreign imports. These are APP
proximately correct estimates. They
serve to bring the relative condi-
lions of production into conspicu-
Gus prominence, larger sum being
expended for animal products than
for clothing, carpets, bed linen, etc.

COOKING.

1t has been proved, at the ex-
pense of numbeiless small animals,
that no one food element alone is
capable of supporting life. 1t often
happens, also, that although an ali
ment naturally contains all the
requisites of a proper food, it may
come to our tables so prepared that
it cannot be utilized by the system.
1t is not enough to provide good and
proper food material; it must have
such preparation as will not lessen,
but increase, it's alimentary value.
Poor food is quite as often the re-
suit of bad cookery as of poor selec-
ton of material. To serve the end
for which it was designed, food
should be both nutritious and
digestible; the first requisite de-
ponds mainly upon its selection !;
the second, upon it's preparation.
Cookery ought to make food more
digestible; it should be sort of
partial preliminary digestion of the
food elements, Proper cookery
changes each of the food elements,
with the exception of fats, in much
the same manner as does the diges-
tive juices; and at the same time it
breaks up the soluble portions of
food so that they are more readily
acted upon by the digestive fluids.
Cookery, however, by no means al
ways attains the desired end; and
often the very best of foods are
rendered useless, unwholesome, and
even dangerous, by improper pre-
paration.
Poor cookery is far oftener the
rule than the exception; and it is
rare indeed to find a table upon
which some portion of the food is
not rendered unwholesome, either
by improper preparatory treatment,
or by the addition of some dele.
terious substance which not only
lessons its digestibility, but, as is
too often the case, if that substance
be strong condiment, makes thu
food, through its irritating and ex
citing character, an incentive to-
ward the requirement of the drinl

Charming Don't Pay.N

Farming don't pay" says the old
fogy as he looks through the cracks of
his crumbling house, and counts the
snow.Aakes as they dance before the
wind and crowd into the crevices which
were left open because he was too thrift
less to endeavor to save the structure.
farming don't pay" the farmer who
depends on the sunny side of a straw
stack for warmth to his stock, and the
corners of rail fence to break the force
of the winds.
farming don't pay" the farmer who
breeds hog with bristled back and long
tusks to eat his corn at loss, and return
him no income. 1t does not pay him to
attempt to pasture a few miserable,
scraggy sheep on penuyroyal and sorrel,
and to Craze his pigmy COWS on broom
sedge and dry crab grass, and yet expect
them to yield milk and butter. 1t does
not pay to raise colts by weaving at birth
in order to work the dams during the
day, and feeding them on insufficient
food.
farming don't pay" when the rich
black liquids flow off from the barn
yard, aud the plough and the harrow are
rusting in the fields, while the fences are
rotting and the barns tumbling to pieces.
Farming don't pay" unless rightly
conducted, nor will manufacturing, nor
any kind Of business pay, under
similar unfavorable conditions. The
farmer must be on the alert. He must
keep his farm in order, grade up his
stock, feed for best results, and endeavor
to annually increase his products. Moth.
ing must be wasted, and everything
must be judiciously adapted to special
purposes.
farming don't pay" but it depends
upon the farmer. The individual is
equal to the farm in value according to
the manner in which he conducts it.

Married Women,s Contracts.

The Supreme Court of the State has
lately filed a very important decision re-
lative to the validity of contracts made
by married women. The facts in the
case we're: Rawls & Wilhalf, being in
debted to G. G. Habenicht, gave him
note, with Mrs. Jennie Agnew, a mar
ried woman, as surety. The note being
sued on, the Court holds that Mrs.
Agnew's contracts as surety is void. The
Act of 1872 gave to married woman
the right "to contract or be contracted
with in the same manner as if she were
unmarried" But the Revised Statutes
of 1882 amends the Act of 1872 by in.
serting the words "as to her separate
property" The Supreme Court holds
that before married woman can be
made liable on contract made by her it
must be made to appear that the contract
was made in relation to or concerned her
separate property. The Court goes fur.

ion): "If, therefore, wife should sign
o note as security for her husband, or,
indeed, for any other person, and should
declare in the note in express terms her
intention to bind her separate estate,
that would not make the contract valid

that the contract, though executed by
her as surety, was designed to benefit
her separate property, or in some other

The Cost of Cotton.

All planters are interested in the ques-
ito of the cost of q pound of upland
cotton, yet comparatively few have any
accurate information on the subject.
Estimates are made all the way from six
to nine cents per pound, and no dout the
cost varies greatly in different sections
and with different planters in the same
sections.
a very reasonable estimate on fair
land is figured out as follows: Rent per
acre, or interest on investment, $3.50;
this, of course includes taxes, fencing,
etc., preparation of land 81, fertilizers
Sc, planting and seed 81, hoeipg 81,
blowing 81. gathering 81, ginning and
packing, including bagging and ties, So
total, $3.50 less seed at 1926. Say the
yield is $50 pounds, the cost at the gin
house ready to be hauled to market is
6.3 cents per pound.
The above is fair average estimate
when seasons are favorable. 1t will cost
an extra cent to send the cotton to mark
ket and sell it, allowing for drying out
and consequent loss in weight. 1t will
be seen from this there is no money in
the crop at prices that have prevailed in
recent years. unless the quality is extra.
ordinarily good. The average quality of
cotton produced in Georgia is low mid.
ding, and the price is singularly near
the estimated cost of production.
When fertilizers and supplies are bought
on time the cost of the crop is usually
from Is to 25 per cent. greater than the
foregoing estimate. This, of course,
makes the cotton cost more than it
brings in the market, and it is not diff
cult to see how it is that planters lose
money when they do not conduct their
plantations according to strict business
principles and with economy. 1t is true
that there are few planters that own
their land who make more than fair
rent off their cotton crop, and there are
very few renters that make any money
at all on cotton. There are plenty of
farmers in every part Of the South, how
ever, who make money from diversified
farming.-.Savannah News

Why People We're Buried.

When men began to bury their dead
they did so in the firm belief in another
life, which life was regarded as the exact
counterpart of this present one. The
unsophisticated savage, holding that in
that equal sky his faithful dog would bear
him company, naturally enough had the
dog in question killed and buried with
him, in order that it might follow him to
the happy hunting ground. Clearly, you
can't hunt without your arrows and your
tomahawk so the flint weapons and the
trusty bow accompanied their owner in
bis new resting place. The wooden baft,
the deer sinew bowstring, the perishable
articles of food and drink have long since
decayed within the damp tumulus; but
the harder stone and earthenware articles
have survived till now, to tell the story
of that crude and simple early faith.
Very crude and illogical, indeed, it was,
however, for it is quite clear that the
actual body of the dead man was thought
of as persisting to live sort of under.
ground life within the barrow A stone
hut was constructed for its use; real
weapons and implements were left by its
side, and slaves and wives were ruthless
ly massacred; as still in Ashantee, in
order that their bodies might accompany
the corpse of the buried master in his
subterranean dwelling. In all this we
have clear evidence of very inconsis-
tent savage, materialistic belief not in-
deed in the Immortality of the soul, but
in the continued underground life of the
dead body.-CornhM.

Gen. Beuregard's Name.

General Beauregard's real name is
Pierre G. Toutan, and the name by
which he goes is of his own adoption.
Beauregard's ancestors came from Cana.
da, and his grandfather, old Pierre
Toutan, emigrated at an early date to
New Orleans, where he acquired great
political influence. He bought large
estate outside of the city, and called it
"Beauregard," meaning fine sight. Gen
eral Beauregard was named after this
ancestor, and when, through him, be
was admitted to West Point, it was under
the name of Pierre G. Toutan. After a
time, being of an aristocratic tendency,
lie changed his name to Pierre Toutan
de Beauregard, which he, after time,
dropped into P. T. Beauregard The
fact that General Beauregard has no real
right to his name will be surprise to
many.
