WE'RE WAITING FOR YOU
TO MAKE GOOD, MIR. COOK

And now comes A. P. Cook,
clerk Of the county poor board,
with a statement that in his opin-
ion man with careful wife can
keep family of six on $26
month.
Cook is either letting himself 90
in a moment Of light-headedness
or If serious, should be speedily
relieved from his job as poor CON-
missioner. "A man with so erron-
eous an idea can have but a poor
conception of the duties Of the Of
flee he fills.
And this $26 included rent in
Cooks sweeping statement, for he
added, if reported correctly in the
daily press, eff he is careful and
does not pay too high a rent. -
The worst punishment that
could be inflicted on Mr.. Cook
would be for him to take a dose

WEIGH YOUR GROCERIES
AND STOP THOSE LEAKS

Mrs. Housekeeper, have you
tumbled to one feature Of the pres
ent high cost of living that has
generally escaped notice.
How much short weight are you
getting in your package groceries?
those groceries that come put up
in so-called pound, two-pound or
three-pound packages.
You may not have noticed it
but many Of those high priced
butter prints you buy, fall far
short Of a pound How heavy is
that loaf Of bread that you
thought was a pound loaf? Weigh
it next time and see.
Package fruits such as currants,
raislns and figs are nearly all af-
hicted with the ''shorts. If you
don't believe it weigh the next few
packages you buy and your eyes
will be opened.
A "three-pound' pail Of lard
purchased this week in Duluth held
exactly two pounds and a half o.
lard and quarter pound Of pail.
So at IS cents, the price paid for
the package, the lard cost % cents
pound.
So the packers, who render the
lard and put it out to the trade in
the neat little pals, are adding
sheer highway robbery and short
changing to their other pick
pocket qualifications.
So Mrs. Housekeeper, take this
quiet tip. Weigh your goods more
in the future than you have been
accustomed to and you will find
many household leaks you never
suspected to exist.

We do not believe that Mr.. Cook
is willing to restrict himself and
family to a diet Of cornmeal and
buttermilk and that is about all
that a $26-a-month bill of fare
would include.
Too many Cooks spoil the broth.
If we remember rightly the other
Cook who came forward with a
like badly founded public declara-
ton, burned his pudding and is
now travelling incognito ct delictu.

COMMENTS OF. OTHERS.


After all the investigation now
pending has been received and placed
on file relative to the Mt. Mckinley
cost of living,s, the real reason for the
uplift will be found in the fact that
things cost more than they used to-
st. Cloud Journal-Press.
It is universally conceded by all
who have given the subject any
thought that the tariff is a tax added
to the price of what people consume.
Then, with a tariff which adds from

people must pay for what. they con-
sumo, the menials of the tariff barons

Mock Chicken Soup is such a
common dish, particularly in boarding
houses, that it is not necessary TO
give very full directions for making
it. The mocking lies in the fact that
the chicken is allowed to wade swift

the quicker the chicken will make
the trip. In no wise does any chick

lowing will be found very useful:

Chinese, dish which, in China takes
the place of boarding house hash in
this country. It is usually made with
meat, but this can easily be eliminate

ROBERT TRAcEY's REMAINS
Identified BY CHICAGO MAN

John Crunch of Chicago was in the
city over week ago, on mission con-
nected with the death of Robert Tracey,
who. it will be remembered. was found
near South Heart in an unconscious con-
dition, taken to the Stein hospital.
where he died a few hours later.
Before he died he was able to tell his
name, and some weeks later a relative
in Chicago was communicated with.
reported at first to be his wife, but found
later to be his mother, whom he solely
supported.
1t seems MIR. Tracey was member of
the B. of r. T. and carried insurance
in the order in his mothers name.
Therefore in order to draw this, Mr..
Gruneu. master of the B. of r. T. at
Chicago and personal friend of the
deceased, came to the city, had the re-
mains dug up and identified by tattoo
and other marks of Identification. The
remains were reburied, Rev. Fr. Dienam
reading the Catholic funeral service by
Mr.. Tracey left his home in Chicago
about the first of June and was found
here about the 4th of the same month.
At the time Of leaving home he was
known to have over hundred dollars
on his person, besides a diamond pin
and some papers, among which was the
B. of r. T. receipt. None of these
things were on him when found at South
Heart.
The mother expects. after drawing the
insurance, to have the remains taken to
Chicago for interment in the family
burial place.

$1o, 100 FIRE At RlcnARDI0n
WESTERN SUPPLY CO. STORE

A bad fire occurred in the Western
Supply Co. store Monday afternoon, re-
sultins from escaping GAS from, the light
tank. The fire spread rapidly and was
soon In the upper floor. where most of
the damage was done by fire. On the
floor below most of the damage:.resulted
from smoke and water. 1t was the quick
action of the fire department that saved
the building. and probably the entire
block, from destruction. In less than
two minutes from. the time the alarm
went In the boys had the engine throw
ing water on the flames, which were
kept entirely within the building.
Johnnie O'Day, who was working at
the light tank when it caught fire. was
badly burned on one hand, and Cliff
Hettenbaugh was overcome by smoke
while in the building. One or two
others received minor injuries but all in
all it is considered very fortunate that
no more damage resulted to property or
persons.
Mr.. Bagaenstass estimates the loss at
from SIS, 900 to So. 600. His new fall
goods were just in and the building con-
tanned nearly $50. 900 worth of stock.
The insurance carried will probably
cover the loss pretty we'll. Adjusters
have been notified and the store will be
doing business the same as ever in a
dsy or two.
