Pretty Slow.

Horace L. Moore was lieutenant col
onel of the noted Nineteenth Kansas
cavalry. He could lead men for a lon,
ger period without rest on a single
ration of cheerful good humor, than
any other officer. Though not given to
jokes, he was the reputed author of
as many astonishers as Lincoln.
One time on the march, he sent an
orderly with message to an officer
at some distance. Before the man was
out of hearing Moore shouted: Hey,
orderly! Come back here?'

ALL HAIL THE FOOD TABLETS!
No Dishes, No Kitchen Work, Hence
No Household Drudgery.

How would you like to throw away
all your kitchen utensils and most OF
the dishes; send your flour, meats
spices and other pantry stuff to a
charitable association turn the kitch-
en- into a den or sunroom; turn the
pantry unto coy corner, and live on
nuts, fruits and food in tablet form
It's long question and it isn't abso-
lutely new, but it comes in for consid-
Grafton in connection with the recent
discussion of How to Get Rid of
Household Diudgery," says the Kan
sas City Tiraes.
The suggestion was made in good
faith by woman who believes in the
system. She advocates it without re-
gard to the fact that such a plan Of
near eating" would rob life of it's
dearest privilege, that of gazing on
and devouring the luscious roasts and
bro1ls that competent cooks prepare,
to say nothing of potatoes mashed,
hashed or Drowned with butter and
gravy and pumpkin pie.
This is no jest" the writer Of the
essay says. 1T has been my dream
for years. There Is only one solution
to the problems of housekeeping, only
one way to escape the ills that come
from unwise eating. Do away with
the kitchen and pantry, live on fresh
fruits, nuts and condensed foods in
tablet form. Have a refrigerator or,
better still, cold storage room where
drinking water may be cooled and the
traits chilled. An ornamental jar or
cabinet will hold enough tablets to
feed family for week or more.
Think of the time saved that might
be devoted to reading or outdoor exer-
else! And with the money saved we
could buy motor cars or electric car
riages."
Think of the saving of time and
energy, too! No more luncheons to
put up in newspapers every morning
for the children and father. A tablet
or two in their pockets and possibly
nut for dessert and away they go to
the office. Can you see fathers face
when he comes home at night, tired
and cross, the children romping in
from school with cold little noses and
empty stomachs, ready to grow rap
turous over a plump, fat chicken or
pan of Irish stew and hot biscuits?
Can you see the faces of the children
light up with joy when you point one
finger at the tablet jar and go on with.
your Browning or Emerson? No
dishes to wash, no scraps to throw
away-nothing to do except read, sing,
play and eat fruits, tablets and nuts.
