Add to Cost Of Living.

The American Magazine reprints a
letter which was sent to the Massa-
chusetts cost of living commission. 1t
goes as follows:
ut seems to me that the elimination
of waste is nearly impossible in house
holds where there are numerous serv-
ants; at least, l have found 1t so.
with only one, and the waste rises in
geometrical progression with the num-
ber employed. have now been doing
my own cooking for nearly year and
! feed my family twice as well on
about two-thirds the cost. A large
part OF the saving comes In til. eco
nomical use of meat. 1 make a de-
llcious dinner with a few scraps of
meat that cook would give to the
dog.
Then I depend a good deal on
soups. which l invent to suit my
larder A few cold baked beans, with
little tomato and bit of meat on a
bone. or little left over gravy. make
a soup that all eat with much pleasure
and 1t Is SO nourishing that 1t goes far
to make the dinner. Most people do
not understand how different soup
is when it has simmered good many
hours. The soup that has been boiled
fast couple Of hours will taste fiat
and uninteresting whereas the same
soup FIVE hours later will have such
delicious blend of flavors that all
you know is that 1t Is nice without
being able to distinguish the ingre-
dients. Again 1t is time that counts.
Cooks waste the coffee and tea hor-
ribly. Mix the coffee with cold water
the night before with an eggshell
and bring it to boil In the morning
and you do not need a great deal for
good cup of coffee. The tea in the
kitchen is piled into the teapot and
thrown out with but little OF the good
ness extracted. Another frightful
waste is the coal. l use less than
half as much as any girl l ever had
and my stove bakes better. l never
complain of the draught, as she does
or did after burning all the goodness
out of her coal in the first hour after
lighting"

eurbank,s New Strawberry.

San Francisco-Luther Burbank has
announced the creation of strawberry
of new type the Patagonia which
commences to ripen first and contin-

The berries are uniformly large. sin.

be almost imperceptible.
Samples were sent to specialists on

Improving Americans.

Nothing is fixed but the certainty
of change" said Goethe, and we know
that the future American will repre-
sent a change. He may be taller or
shorter or thinner or fatter than the
American Of today, but there is moth
ing IN the existing state of society,"
and we use society In its broad sense
to Indicate that he will not be better
in many ways. Confidence in this Is
based largely on the evident determi-
nation of the American Of today to
leave our institutions and our Ideals
better than he found them. Every
American, native or foreign born,
wants his children to have better ed
ucation than 1t was possible for him
to secure. He wants to have his chill
dren live in a community Of higher
standards and ideals than he has; he
wants betterment in local, state and
national conditions, and the result Of
the want will be improvement and a
demand by his children for still great
err improvement-St. Paul Pioneer

DYING TO Order.
WEDNESDAY EVENING. JUNE l, 1910

Dying to order is one OF the most
sacred customs Of the American In
dian. Many years ago Standing Elk
went to Major James Mclaughlin, the
author of my Friend the Indian" ana
said, Father, my wife will die today
ard she wants coffin from you"
The major asked him what the all
ment was, and he replied:
"Just nothing but that she heard the
ghosts calling and must CO."
Somebody had told her, 1t turned
out, that she was sick, so she had
painted for DEATH" and all her rela-
tlves had gathered about to bemoan
her-and incidentally divide her prop
erty as soon as she was dead. There
was no use In the majors arguing
about It, so be had the coffin made.
In many cases those painted Tor
DEATH are actually bullied into dying,
but Mrs. Standing Elk was still too
vigorous. Finally in despair she car
ried the coffin into the house on her
own shoulders, and several years later
the major saw it still standing on end
in her house. Shelves had been fitted
into it, and it was doing duty as cup
board.-Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.
