constitutes the problem which tries
the soul of the American woman and
proves the quality of her religion.
Economy is a stranger with whom no
reckoning can be had. Sufficient I'M
to each hour are the needs thereof is
the substance OF native reasoning.
Nothing is saved from the preparation
of a meal. A separate trip must be
made to market for provisions for
breakfast and for dinner. 1t Is use
less to buy more than is needed at one
lime. for the cook will certainly con-
fscate the surplus. If a protest is
made against this confiscation. the
cook will smile and explain that there
are hungry mouths at home which
must be fed. Unless the concession
is granted there is an immediate va
cancy in the kitchen. The exasperated
American housewife accepts the only
alternative left to her-she surren-
iers to another custom of the coun-
try and employs her Yankee wits in
reducing the surplus to minimum.
The cause which doubtless origin.
ated and warrants the continuance of
the custom of buying provisions for
each meal, is the difficulty In keep
ing anything over few hours on &C
count Of the warm weather. The
greatest care must be exercised by
the house wife in the purchase OF her
provisions.
While the soil here is very fertile
and will raise almost anything,
scarcity of the kinds of vegetables
grown in the United States is very
noticeable. During the winter months
variety can be purchased in the
market, but during the summer sea-
son the extreme heat serves to re-
strict their growth. The natives are
very fond OF lettuce and cultivate II
constantly.

CAN'T CATCH DUNLAP.
Warrant Against Him for Smuggling
 Liquor Into Porto Rico.

San Juan, P. R., April 2l.-The police have not been able to arrest Capt Andrew Dunlap United States navy, command ant of the naval station here, against whom a warrant has been issued for bringing in liquors without paying duty, because the naval station is a government reserve and Captain Dunlap remains on 1t. The police have been standing at the gate of the station since yesterday afternoon. Captain Dunlap refuses to come out or to permit the police to enter. The first time the naval officer leaves the station he will be arrested. It was thought this morning that Captain Dun lap would leave the station voluntarily, but 1t is now probable that he will not do so as long as the police remain outside.
 Commander G. w. Mentz United States navy, and Robert Giles. against whom also warrants were issued on the same charge have been arralgned and have pleaded not guilty.

EXAGGERATED, SAYS PAYNE. Reports About the Trouble in the Post office Department Are Overdrawn.

Washington. April 21.-Postmaster Gen eral Payne this afternoon in discussing reports of attempts to interfere with the investigation of affairs of the postoffice department, said that there had been only one member of either house of con gress who had shown to him any par ticular intention in the investigation.
 This was a senator whom he did not name, and who had asked that he be given an opportunity to be heard by the postmaster general if anything were done in the case of person at the postoffice department in whom he was interested.
 MT. Psyne,said that there was a great deal of congregation in some of the re- ports regarding the investigation and that the fourth assistant postmaster gen eral was making a very careful investiga- tion along business lines. He said that there were no developments today.
