ECONOMY

It is economy for the housewife to
refuse to order her market supplies by
phone.
The wise matron will rise early and
get the choicest things from market.
1t is not economy to purchase fruits
or vegetables out of season, since any
thing of forced growth cannot give the
sustenance we require.
1t is economy to arise a little earlier
some morning in order to tell the baker
you will not need so many loaves of
bread for a couple of weeks because
part of your family has gone away.
1t is economy not 70 leave the soap
in basin Of water after washing; also
to put little scraps in a bag to be used
for the bath or dishwashing, according
to the quality of a soap.
To admit all the sunshine and fresh
air possible is economy, for it will
bring health and save many doctors
bills, even if it does fade the rugs.
To rest by the wayside and stay here
on earth with your dear ones a while
longer. rather than striving to do
everything and falling under the yoke,
is economy.-Washingt Times.

Grafton that the salad has become a
prominent feature Of country tables,
ana within recent memory the up
country salad. as a rule meant a salvy
mixture Of chopped meat or vegetables
dressed with a made custard that was
heavy with mustard All this has
changed, however, ami one now finds
as daintily dressed salads on upstate
and New England tables as in city
homes. The. use of oil, however. is
less free out of town, and the conse-
qsence is a better understanding OF
substitutes for it. Many salads are
more tasty dressed with a rich cooked
sauce than with oil and vinegar or with
mayonnaise-notably potato, cabbage.
and other vegetable salads, says the
New York Evening Sun.
A young Brooklyn houselSeeper who
has reduced the problem of leftovers
TO a science keeps on hand dressing
that comes into play several times
week with luncheon salads that utilize
cold dishes left from dinner. With it
she serves cold boiled mahogany or
the little green agolet beans, sometimes
mixing them with celery, apple and cel-
cry diced and mixed or not with nut
meats, and almost any fruits and vege-
tables that happen to oe on hand. This
is her rule for the dressing, which she
keeps for two weeks or more in a cold
place: Rub together half teaspoonful
of mustard and a teaspoonful of salt,
a little pepper, add a tablespoonful OF
sugar and mix thoroughly with the
yollSs of two eggs. Have half a cupful
Of milk scalding in a double boiler on
the stove and scant quarter of a cup
full OF vinegar heating in another dish.
Stir the egg mixture into the milk and
cook until it thickens. Then add. slow
~ the vinegar. but do not cook after
It goes in. This dressing is always
mixed with whipped cream-twice as
much whipped cream as dressing. One
OF the favorite salads in the family is
made with diced apples, oranges, bana-
mas and cut up English walnut meats.
Another popular salad is made OF
bananas, peeled. covered with the
dressing, sprinlkled with chopped nuts
and served on white lettuce leaves. No
end Of combinations can be devised.
The beans that have been mentioned
are equally tasty, many persons pre-
ferring them indeed. with French
dressing; and il the bowl In which the
dressing is made is rubbed with the
cut side of half a Glove Of garlic the
salad will be improved for many.
Onion juice may be used instead of the
garlic. French chestnuts dressed with
oil and vinegar are among the standbys
season.

STOP DRINKING
orrine Destroys Desire For Drink.
"How to Swear Off,"

It was formerly customary for the
habitual drinker TO take the pledge
regularly, sometimes once year, and
sometimes in every fit of remorse that
followed his debauches, and then
Break it.
But now It IS gradually dawning on
the world that pledges do not stop
drunkenness. When a man takes a
pledge voluntarily, he expects 10 keep
AZ. Every man expects TO keep his
word. and every broken pledge costs
the drunkard many a heartache. But
he cannot help It. He fights as long as
he can, then succumbs to the craving

BANIsHED.
Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to coffee
even after they know it is doing them
harm, is a puzzler. But It is an easy
matter to give it up for good. when
Postum Food Coffee is properly made
and used instead.
A girl writes: Mother had been
suffering with nervous headaches for
seven weary years. but kept drinking
coffee.
zone day I asked her why she did
not give up coffee as a cousin OF mine
had done who had taken to Postum.
But Mother was such slave to coffee
she thought 1t would be terrible to
give 1t up.
Finally. one day, she made the
change to Postum. and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morning
while she was drinking Postum 50
freely and with such relish, I asked
for taste.
"That started me on Postum and I
now drink it more freely than I did
coffee. which never comes into our
house now.
"A girl friend Of mine. one day, saw
me drinking Postum and asked II It
was coffee. I told her il was Postum
and gave her some TO take home. but
forgot to tell her how to make it.
"The next day she said she did not
see how I could drink Postum.
found she had made it like ordinary
coffee. SO I told her how to make

said she never drank my coffee that

NOT ALARMED BY
PROHIBITION

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 1s.-Adolphus
Busch, the wealthy brewer, has given
denial to the statements that he had
declared himself in favor Of Sunday
closing in Chicago, and in favor of
local option. Several statements pur-
porting to have come from Mr.. Busch
pledgiHg ass;asatance to the reformers
in their Sunday closing crusade and
also purporting to quote Mr.. Busch in
favor of local option have been print
ed in Chicago and throughout the
West. In his denial Of the interviews
he now says:
81 was badly misquoted In the state
ment that I indorsed local option.
said that the recent action of Oklaho-
ma, Georgia and Alabama in adopting
prohibition legislation was unwise and
that it would have been better to leave
the sale Of beer. wine and whislSies to
the local option of the counties and of
cities of 5000 and over.
MY associates and myself have care
fully considered the movement for
prohibition, but we are not alarmed
In the Southern States, like Alabama
and Georgia, where prohibition goes
into effect January 1, 1909, the reckless
sale of bad whisky to bad negroes may
be regarded as the chief cause.
1T is not so easy to understand the
action Of the people of the new State
of Oklahoma, who adopted a prohibi-
ton clause in their State constitution.
I had large interests in Oklahoma and
did much for that State. / built a
million-doiiar brewery, one OF the finest
in the country, for Oklahoma City.
TT is true that I am in favor Of clos
ing all resorts and disorderly places
where drunkenness reigns. I always
have been in favor of cleaning out such
places. AS a matter of fact there are
usually ample police regulations to
close such places. If the proper authori-
ties would attend to doing it; so it IS
really rot the place Of the brewery
owners to be attending to such enforce
ment Of the simple, plain law"
