ishment Tor Man.
Sixteen cents a day will feed man at
moderate work and IS cents day is re-
quired for food for woman, says the St.
Louis Republic. This is the result of ex-
periments begun by DIR. H. B. Gibson of
the state university and continued after
his death by Professors Sidney Calvert and
David W. May. Many studies of dietaries
were made. The actual amount of food
consumed each day and the cost thereof
have been actually determined The aver
age cost per man per day at the University
Boarding club is 1917 cents; of this amount
Mr.. May said probably 2 cents worth is
wasted. The cost in private families would
be smaller, with less waste
In summing up the results of the expert
ments Mr.. May says: "When you buy, go
to the butcher shop and select what you
want, Don't let the butcher select it for
you. You will soon learn to know the
best. Round steak is, all things consid-
cred, the cheapest. There are better cuts
but, as rule, not worth the difference in
price. There is more in the cooking of the
steak than there is in the portion of the
beef from which it is cut. Make your own
bread. 1t is far cheaper and should be bet
ter. Twenty five per cent of water is add
ed to bread in mixing, and water at 8 cents
per pound is not cheap. A good vegetable
lard is cheaper and healthier than hog
lard. Sugar is o cheap food. Give the
children plenty of it. Beans and peas are
very nutritious and are muscle formers
Tomatoes arc Of very little nutritive value
and are composed very largely of water
Buy the best butter and take motto of the
amount Of cream that rises on your milk
Buy fresh vegetables when you can get
them at reasonable price.
:" Above all, variety is the spice of good
appetite. Let there be anticipation at each
meal, and not have tho Same dishes day
after day. Even a Thanksgiving dinner
Will become monotonous if served alike

international Sunday School Lesson for
March 9th.

Subject, "Jesus and the Sabbath"
Matt. 10: lib. Golden Text, "The
Son OF man is Lord of the Sabbath
day." Matt. 1878.
Jesus went on the Sabbath day
through the cornfelds, and His dis
ciples were hungry and picked the
cars Of corn and ate them, as God
had given them permission in His
law to Moses in Deut. %: IS. But
PHI ri ees accused Him of breaking
the Sabbath, and he reminded them
of instances in the Bible where Sab
bath work was right because neces
sary to preserve life. Then he said
The Sabbath was made for man
ard not man for the Sabbath ;
therefore the Son Of man is Lord
also of the Sabbath
Another Sabbath Jesus taught in
the synagogue and man was there
who had withered hand, and they
watched Him, whether He would
heal him on the Sabbath F.; that they
might accuse him. But Jesus knew
their thoughts and He said TO the
msn that had his hand withered ,"Rise
up and stand forth in the midst"
As the man obeyed, in the midst OF
the sneering crowd, how his heart
must have been cteered with eager
expectation and desire from the
wonderful Healer. Then Jesus ask
ed this fault finding crowd, "What
man shall there be of you that shall
have one sheep, and if this fall into
a pit on The Sabbath day, will he
not lay hold on it, and lift it out
How much then is a man of more
value than a sheep? Wherefore it is
lawful to do good on the Sabbath
day."
And Jesus said unto him." Stretch
forth thine hand, and he stretched il
fo,th and it was restored whole,
like as the other" Then the
Scribes and Pharisees were filled
with madness, and held a council
against Jesus, how they might de
stroy Him.
In this day OF real Sabbath break
ing, there are those saying, 1--WE viii
not have this Man to reign over
u.s. But the day is surely coming
when not only lifeless hand vii
be restored by the Life Giver, bu,
the dead shall hear the voice OF the
Son Of God and they that hear sI.al
live. "For all that are in the
grave shall hear His voice, and
shall come forth; that they have
done good, unto the resurrection Of
life; and they that have done evil
unto the resurrection of damna
tion.n And Jesus precedes thi:
promise with these words, "yerily
verify, / say unto you, he thai
heareth My word, and believelh or
Him that sent Me, hath everlasting
life, and shall not come into con
demnation !; but is passed from
death unto life.'

A TRAIN RoBBINe STORY.
The Drummer From New York Narrates
Romantic Experience.

hOmantIc experience.
The drummer had just finished reading
story of a train hold up and let his news
paper fall into his lap.
II had rather romantic experience once
with train robbers, I" he said, (which I
think l won t ever forget. had been laid
up sick for week at tavern in a Kansas
town and my attendant had been very
sweet and gentle girl, who was relative
of the landlord. She was such nice girl
that was in no hurry to get well, and
while Twas putting it off all could Twas
as industriously putting on tho chains of
love- AT the end of ten days was able to
take up my sample case again, and when
| left the town my gentle nurse was on
the same train, in my charge, bound for
Kansas City, where she was to be met by
friends. l had never talked love to her,
and fancy she didn't suspect me of any
thing except desire to flirt little, but I
had made up my mind to talk seriously to
her before l let her friends take her away
from mo.
81 fooled along, as most men do under
the same circumstances, waiting for a real
good chance to come in, but before reach
ed the proper condition the train came to
sudden stop in a lonely place, and by the
time we had asked what the trouble was
half masked train robber stood in the aisle
of the car with a revolver covering the
contents. The girl turned as white as
sheet and I thought she would faint, but
l told her she wouldn't be hurt, and she
sat there as if she had turned into stone.
As it happened, kept my wits, and when
a shot and shout rose on the air outside
and attracted the robbers attention for
moment, whipped my revolver out of my
overcoat pocket and would have got him
sure, but as brought the gun around the
girl at my side caught my arm and stop
ped me. looked at her in amazement
'Don'tP she gasped. It's my fatherl'
And then she fell in faint, while the rob-
Der hurried out in response to the calls
from his partners.
'As for me" concluded the drummer,
~ thought probably it would be just as
well for me not to add to the poor girls
troubles by trying to get into her family"

which took effect. Elliott wrested the
revolver from the physicians hand,

A man is creature inclined to be
