How to Stop Household Leaks.


A young Irish woman, who had been
raised in a convent in England was by
reverses thrown upon her own re-
sources, and after some years of do
nestle service there, came to America,
where she followed the same calling.
She was occupying place of some dig
nifty and responsibility, and business
relations revealed the fact that she was
a woman of unusual observation and
intelligence; so, in the course of con-
versation, she was asked what struck
her most forcefully in this country, and
she at once replied: 1.-THE awful waste,
both of land untitled and of food.
Everybody" she said, cooks more than
is needed. There is as much left over
as is eaten, and it goes to the garbage
pile" When the Great Teacher fed the
multitude He said, Gather up the
fragments that nothing be lost and
they gathered fbasketful.
And there is waste in buying that
which is not actually needed To buy
even at low price a thina, you cannot
use with profit is paying dear price
for your whistle, said Franklin. A bar
gain counter secondhand store, and
an auction room, unless one is in real
need of some certain article, are places
to be avoided. Ninety per cent of their
patrons are victims of the Toodles
habit, buying things they do not need
because they are cheap And only less
pathetic than this is the habit of buy
ing things one does need on the credit
system, or instahnent plan, willingly
under the bane of debt, and
paying two or three prices for an
article which is frequently worn out be-
fore it is settled for.
