Hire an Expert Cook to Do Cooking for
Five Separate Families.
Sioux City, Ia, Dec. 2S.-Driven to
desperation by famine in servant
girls, the housewives here have re-
sorted to cooperative housekeeping.
The first cooperative institution was
started Thursday by five families in
Morningside. the fashionable residence
district. An expert cook has been
hired and house rented, where the
meals are prepared for each of the five
families. The housewives take turns
in selecting the bill of fare, so va
riety is assured. Not only do the
families have fine cooking and service,
but they economize in fuel and appur-
tenances.
This is but a temporary plan in lieu
of more extensive project promoted
by Mrs. Julia. Clark Hallam, president
of the Mothers Child Study club, to
establish large central cooking sta
tons. All the materials Will be
bought wholesale and prepared by
chefs and assistants. Delivery wagons
will carry the food to the homes in

Washington, Dec. 30.-It is expect

Gus controversies which have long ex-
listed between the United States and
Great Britain growing out of relations
along the Canadian border, the Allan
tic fisheries. warships on the great

designed to secure Il settlement of the
matters recited have not proved effec-
tive, largely because of the cumber-
some machinery of negotiation; and
this has led to II belief that much more
could be accomplished by direct nego-
tiations between Secretary Hay and
Lord Pauncefote OH the main points,
and the subsequent assembling of
commission representing the United
States, Great Britain and Canada to
give form to the basis of agreement

has yielded the Clayton-B ulwer treaty

was on the isthmian canal, which has
been satisfactorily disposed of by the
recent Hay-Pauncefote treaty.

This leaves only one issue remaining

both as to Canada and Alaska. The
