China bows they say that you have
come from tho Celestial Kingdom, the

thousands Of miles to u state so small

Yet there is room for all you C5inaboys.

TEN DOLLARS AWEEK FOR EIGHT
Feeding IA Family at "A Cost OF Eight
cen Cents Day For Each Person.

In the October Ladies' Home Journal, Mrs.
s. Il. Rorer tells how a family of eight per-
sons can be fed-and well fed-at the aggre-
gate cost of $40 "A week. She pIt sents bill OF
fare for each meal, with suggestions for
changing and varying them, and details how
10 prepare the main dishes that enter into
her economical plan of supplying the family
table ITO carry out the scheme" she says,
ARTICLES must be purchased economically
and no waste permitted. A table which IL
supplied for n family Of eight for SO week
must, of necessity, bo plain, but IL may, at
the same time, not lack for variety or whole
somoness. Sweetmcats and rich desserts
must bo counted only AZ occasional luxurics,
and company dishes must be omitted alto
gether. Meat, the most expensive food
item, may be purchased in much larger
quantity than is needed for single meal. and
utilized French fashion The poor and middle
classes of this country must learn more about
the food-v value OF tho legumens, more about
the proper preparation of food and last, hut
not least, more about the proper combinations
of food Avoid the buying Of steaks, roasts
and chops each week. IL is AN expensive
household indeed which has no repertoire OF
cheaper dishes a boef's heart or u braised
calf's liver makes an excellent and economical
change. Broiltd sleeps kidneys, with "a lit
tie hacon, give good breakfast at n cost of
ten cents Smothored beef, which may be

Is appetiznc, and only costs half the price of

'"rhe housekeeper should go 30 market
early and buy only the best materials. They

Aside from that however. IL is not so
remarkable that she should smash the

the tidy Americans would indeed have a
hard time to match her speed without a
time allowance. The Kaiser Wilhelm is
entitled to the records.
Five days, 20 hours 45 minutes, that is
her new eastward record between South
ampton and New York, and 56i knots is
the days record. The days record was
formerly held by the Cunarder Lucania

THE ORIGIN OF GOLF.

The first golf appears TO be lost In
obscurity. and its earliest history en-
twined with that of several countries
claiming its parentage. Whether as a
distinct game it care originally from
Holland, or whether IL is the evolution OF
several games born In England and Scot
land-no man knoweth. lhere are ancient
Dutch tiles pictufing what :c,ight have
tcen prototype, ana there Is recorded n
royal decree of the Scots Parliament in
l40? condemning golf as distractiDg the
soldiers attention from archery. James
VI, of Scotland placed "a tariff on tho
feather balls which came from Holland,
and Charles i. was in the midst of an ex-
citing match when the news of the Irish
Rebellion reac he'd him.
And this is not all of history. "Kiobe"
is German for club: "kuihan" Gothic for
stock with thick knob. and "kolf" Is
Ducth for game that by come is set up
as the original of present day golf.
"Cbolc, still played in Northern
France, and n game of undoubted an
tiquity on the Continent, is also upheld
as possible source OF ancestry; while
the ancient "jeu-de mali has likewise
a place in the well-iilied list CT godnn
forefathers, because it is played with n
boxwood ball-batted to extraordinary
distances and club somewhat of COM
promise between croquet and polo
mallet.
Is not the history Of nearly all our
games lost in the shrouded years Of the
long ago? And history is so readily
made ,-some study OF isolated data. a
little skill with the pan, and vivid
imaRination-aud who Is thero to gain
say your completed work? Why, indeed,
should not golf be traced To BIBLICAL
times; for may not David's strength of
arm and accuracy OF eye with the sling
