EATING LESS MEAT.

With beef and other meats advancing in
price at a rapid rate the cost of living is
increasing to such an extent that the
housekeeper is turning her thoughts TO
methods of economy. The Washington
Star tries to help her out:
The advice which is being given broad
cast by newspapers to their readers to alb
stain from meat eating while the price of
beef Is so high is good enough to be ac-
cepted at any time. There Is probably too
much meat eating nowadays. Many physi-
clans advise their patients to abstain from
meat simply as a tonic precaution, to en-
able the system to regain its natural
strength without the stimulation OF flesh
food. Tho strict vegetarian diet is too
severe q regin en- for all but an exceptional
few. But a semi-vegetarian diet is to be
preferred to one heavily composed of
meats, which are heating and which call
for severe work by the digestive appara-
tus. Chemists have frequently indicated
that the ideal fare Of the average person
contains a much smaller percentage Of
meat than Is customarily eaten at table.
Frugal fare Is often the best, Beans and
other leguminous products should consti-
tute large share of the menu. Doubt
less far more than one-half OF the people
to-day live more extensively than the ply
steal demands of their systems require
1t is, furthermore a frailty of human ma
ture to want the things that are rendered
luxurious by virtue OF high prices. The

A FEW INNOCENT QUERIES.

A bred and born philolosist is what claim
to be,
hut find that there are many things that
greatly puzzle me.
For instance. take a cricket ball. you buy
it--then it's bought.
But II you take and shy It, is 1t right to
say It's shought?
A drummer Is q man, we know. who has to
do with drums.
But never met plumber yet who had To
to do with plums.
A cheer full man who sells you hats would
be a cheerful halter.
But is a serious man who sells you mats
"a serious natter"
You take your girl to Yarmouth, then you
arc a pair of trippers.
IL you slipped with her while skating,
would you be pair Of slippers?
If Il freezes when it's frosty, Is II squosty
when you squeeze?
Would you have to buy a biograph to write
biographies?
A man is called baker when to earn his
bread he bakes;
But do we call Quaker by that name be-
cause he quakes?
But II you are dealer, why, of course you
have to deal,
But You may be peeler though you never
have to peel
A man who brews, as everybody knows,
is called brewer;
But II your landlord sues you, would you
says he Is sewer?
A girl will change the color OF the hair
upon her head
It's strange; but still you'll find that
though she dyed, she isn't dead
Would a pious man who fried kipper be
a holy friar?
A tinid man who lies in bcd-is he "a fear
full liar?'
II with mud YOU find you're spattered froT
passing horses hoof.
And you use a bad expletive. would that
be a "muddied oaf?'

THE BALLAD OF THE TRAMP

THE BALLAD Or' IHC THANH.
The young wife has heart Of gold,
And sympathy to burn.
So when a tramp appeared one day.
Quick was she to discern
That he was hungry. and to help
The poor man she did yearn.
Come In" said she; come In and get
Some pies and cake and bread.
Just like your mother used to make
THANK YOU" the hobo said.
He ate what she had cooked, and saw
With pleasure she blushed red.
But when he started to arise
His face with woe turned blue.
He seemed to sag. as he walked on.
Dear lady, you spoke true"
(Fie gasped.) MY mother couldn't cook
wonder how you knew"

Colonel Nm. True had an ad
venture with a burglar at an early
hour enc day this week. He hap
pened to notice that the front door
OF Mac Smiths Candy Kitchen was
slightly open, and knowing it was
too early for Mr.. Smith to make
his appearance, be showed the door
open and walked in. AS he did so
man made his exit from the side
door Of the building and ran down
the alley, with the Colonel in hot
pursuit. The burglar got away
but Mr.. True saved the house from
being burglarized.
Constable Hamilton had an ad.
venture with crazy prospector
one night last week. The pros
pector, who is we'll known char
acter, bas been around town trying
to negotiate nuI ber of cheeks
which he said had been signed by
Q. e. Mills, superintendent Of the
Detroit Copper company. The
checks ranged from $500 up to
large amounts. ANY business man
familiar with the D. G. checks
could tell at G lance that the sig
nature was not that of Mr.. Mills
The prospector claimed to have
$4,000, 900 on deposit in El Paso,
and was maxim < a wild talk about
his wealth. Mr.. Hamilton con.
cluded to loG TX him up until morn
ing, The p rospector accompanied
him very O uietly until they neared
the Jail, when he broke away
and made run for his life with

times was about to lay his hands
on the prospector, who always
and ontinred in his mad flight.
The officer lfually tripped and
measured his full length in the
mud, and then CAV . up the chase in
disgust. The pros hector has not
