Ideas of Economy.

Peoples ideas of economy differ
widely. True economy does not consist
in going without, but in using what
one has in such manner as to secure
the most from it, says The Cooking
School Magazine. That woman eXer-
cises the truest kind of economy who,
having a limited quantity of potatoes,
pares them so carefully that the sup
ply lasts seven days rather than she
who from pairing them lavishly, is
compelled to go without the seventh
day for lack Of material. That wait
ress trained in a restaurant where, as
she said, all the profit lay Sin knowing
how to slice thin" who was compli-
mented upon the acceptable manner in
which she sliced cold meat for the fam
lily dinner had learned, though mad
vertently perhaps, the secret of true
economy from more than one point Of
view, for of what advantage is econ
omy if the main end for which we are
striving lin this case a satisfactory
meaD be defeated thereby?

THE NEW WAY,

A friend wishes us to explain why,
If the methods used and prices charged
by the so called beef trust are unfair
and eXtortionate, the retail butchers
do not refuse to buy meat of the COM
bine and instead buy and slaughter
their own cattle, sheep and hogs and
be Independent. An answer to this
question opens up the most pregnant
and live issue in America today. In
criticising special results in special
lines of business the average man is
apt to overlook the fact of the radical
and unpreventable change which is
taking place in the foundation princi-
pies underlying our entire system of
business and commerce. Little by lit
tie every manufacturer has come to
realize the fact that there are wonder
full economies connected with central
ization and combination, and as the
law which moves all business along
those lines Offering the least resistance
is as irresistible in it's operation as is
the law of gravitatiOn it comes that
the methods of doing business are be-
ing revOlutionized The meat business
is only one example, but in its opera
ton well illustrates the revolution
which is taking place. The facts are
that the savings and economies con-
nected with the killing and dressing Of
the meats of the country at two Or
three central points are so great that
the small concern which would be rid
of the evils now so loudly complained
of finds itself handicapped at every
point. When the fact is understood
that the running expenses and profits
of the big packing houses are provided
for almost wholly from what is realiz-
ed out of the offa of the animal
slaughtered, and as the small concern
is prevented in a score of ways from
such utilization of byproducts, it is
easy to see what an advantage the
big houses have. Then the further
fact that the animals killed by such
concerns are inspected by government
experts and the meat properly cured
before being placed on the block. Civ
ing the consumer a better H"ality of
meat, is a big argument in fa,,- of the
combine houses If the present legal
contention shall settle how much of
the profits growing out of the econo-
omies of the centralized system of
Strengthening and dressing the meats
of the country belong to the retail
butcher and the consumer, it will be
more than we look for. The same
question is seeking solution on the
fuel. transportation, Illumination prob
lems-in fact with nearly all manufac-
turing interests of whatever kind or
name. Competition sought and found
q remedy in cooperation, this co-opera-
tive effort breeds trusts and combines,
the trust is easily tyrannical, and tyr
amy the American people will not en-
dure, and there you have it all in a
nutshell "QuO Vadisw

Asparagus Well Cooked.

Asparagus should be cut of equal
lengths and boiled, standing ends up,

SHnRTSIGHTEn.

The attempt to drain tract of $4,000
acres of swamp land in western state
land which was almost worthless and
which when drained would bring $50
per acre-met with the most bitter and
senseless opposition from many Of the
landowners through whose farms the
proposed ditch would have to pass.
Fortunately the laws Of the state were
so framed that the rights Of the owners
of the swamp lands are fully protected,
and the ditch will be dug in spite Of the
protests.

Immediately everything starts into ac-

arrive at run, standards flying; the

Fine Flour and Teeth.

Why do colored people as a rule have
such splendid teeth? Mostly because
they have lived OH coarse food, which
made demands on the teeth. People
as rule now do not want to do any
chewing. They demand meat which
is SO tender that it will melt in
the mouth, etc. Nature, prodigal as
she is, never bestows anything where
it is not used, and the result is that
the civilized races are losing their
teeth. If the style continues to forbid
our teeth to do any grinding, our prog
eny Of. say, 1902 AZ D. will be born
toothless or with only rudimentary
teeth AS individuals we cannot grow
good teeth in our heads by eating
coarse food. We are beginning to get
bad teeth by heredity. But there is
almost no tooth or bone forming ma
terial in fine white -four, and the avoid
ance Of coarse foods, undoubtedly has
tens the decaying of our teeth. Per-
haps the millers and the dentists. are
in a secret league to work for mutual
interests. Who knows?
