COOPERATIVE LIVING

Each passing decade sees a larger
and larger share of the life of the child
transferred from individual to coop
erative influences, says Everybodys S
Magazine; in other words, transferred
from within the home to outside the
home. We have already observed that
the same law of development exists IN
respect to certain other elements or
home life. We have seen how productive
industry, once located largely in the
home, has almost entirely departed
from it, We have observed how the
arts of housekeeping have begun to
die in the home and to be revived IN
domestic science courses outside.
simultaneously, naturally, there has
arisen a great demand on the part of
housewives for food already cooked.
This applies not only to cereals and
breads and canned vegetables and
canned fruits, but to meats and fish.
In one of the Chicago department
stores last year the manager of the
grovery department sold more than
5000. 600 worth of chicken croquettes,
salami sausage, cervelat sausage,
southern hash, mutton stew, veal chops,
fried perch, fried frogs legs, combina-
ton salad. boiled ham, beef tongue,
fried oysters, baked white fish, bologna
sausage, deVlled CRAPS, anu ~ oll, al az
ready to eat OF course, even $2OO,OoO
is a small amount compared with what
a city as large as Chicago spends a
wear in food, but it shows in which
direction the tendency is setting. There
is probably ten times as much cooked
food sold in Chicago today as there
was ten years ago.
All these changes tend 20 contract
the scope of the home, but it does not
follow that they tend to destroy its
vital principle.

IN THE GARDEN

When planting your flower garden
do not omit these two beautiful old
time varieties-the fragrant stock or
gillifower and the quaint larkspur.
Both are easily grown, needing but a
moderate amount of care to secure
blooms that are a delight in all re-
spects.
There are numerous varieties of
stock embracing such colors as brill
liant rose, crimson dark violet, pale
pink, canary yellow, dark blood red
and terra Gotta, beside the popular
pure white blooms. Two packages of
mixed seeds will be sufficient for the
small garden, and will add a brilliant
dash of color, as well as providing ef-
fective blossoms for cutting. The large.
single spike variety is perhaps the
most popular, although many prefer
the cut and come again kind, which,
when the first spike is culled, will send
forth side branches for later blossom
ing.
The time for sowing the seed is the
first week in May, and as any light,
sandy soil, with plenty of sun will pro-
duce them, stock proves an excellent
filler for odd corners.
Quite as charming both for cutting
and for bedding purposes. is the lark
spur, another tall, spiky blossom of
the old fashioned garden. Some va
rieties need to be resown at intervals
to secure constant production of bios
SONS. The range of colors is similar
to that found in the stock, and in
cludes rosy scarlet, royal purple fish
color, bright blue and white.
AS it is closely allied to the stock, it
will flourish in the same kind of soil
and likewise needs but little atten-
tion

FORGOTTEN TROUBLE

Do you know what it was that caused you to
fret
Only year ago?
Can you tell me the source of your utmost
regret
only year ago?
1t looked big to you then and you moped and
you pined.
The long nights were sleepless and troubled
your mind.
Yet you can't tell what happened, in looking
behind
Only year ago?
Do you know why you frowned as you jour-
eneyed your way.
Only month ago?
Can YOU tell now what made all your blue
skies gray
Only a month ago?
What trouble was it that your happiness
marred
That caused you to say that your heart had
grown hard,
And from all future joys in this world you
barred,
only a month ago?
You've forgotten them all, both the great and
the small,
The pain and the wos
For few are the troubles recall
As onward we go.
All few are the troubles, my brother, that last
They seem big at first, but the moment They're
They Slip from the mind. for they never stick
fast.
1t is well that it's so.
