The everlasting and ever-vexing problem of living is up for public dis- cussion in Philadelphia, with the usual result One dear woman says that her husband gives her $5Oo0 a year for their family of four and she finds that she is unable to get along comfortably on it. She appeals for advice: Will somebody send a sample reduced bill of fare for just one week? And will somebody tell where hat may be purchased for less than $15?" To her a woman in the suburbs replies that she would like to have that S5,OOO woman with her for week and is con- fident that she could fill her head with so many suggestions of economy that she would be surprised at the saving she would make, This woman has something less than $500 for the con- duet of her home. She does her wash ing, ironing, dressmaking, cooking, mendIng, etc, but confesses she can't resist employing a mllliner to trim her hat. She has a garden and keeps hens. There are three to be fed in her family. Meat costs S1.5O week, groceries the same, ice and milk 42 cents each. She says they have the best and plenty, but there Is no waste
 Of course the woman with less than $500 knows how to manage, and her husband ought to call her blessed He probably does. Perhaps the husband of the other woman can afford to call her blessed too. We hope he can.

AN ADEQUATE TEST.

At last we in Connecticut are going to be able to tell what a Democrat is, The Democratic State central commit tee has sent out invitations to many people in this State to contribute a dol lar each toward the expenses of the campaign.
 That is indeed an adequate test. Any man who is willing to contribute a dol lar toward the expenses of the Demo- cratic campaign" in Connecticut this year must be 8 real Democrat. We hope that after the election a list ol those who contribute will be published, so that we can know who's who as we'll as what's what. That list would be the Democratic party all right, and per- haps there might be as many as seven names in it.
