a little of the fluid and boil 1t down
in the kettle with the meat. Then
you'll have pot roast which, If
made right. will be fit to set before

Canned goods of all kinds are
cheaper than ever before in our his

DR.. WILEY GIVES SOME ADVICE TO
HOUSEKEEPERS ABOUT HIGH PRICES

IT the American cook would study
the methods of the French cook, who
uses UP all the left overs you would
not hear so much about the increas-
ed cost Of living. The average Amer
lean cook throws away or wastes
enough to keep the ordinary French
family going. over there they save
every scrap Of fat and every crumb Of
bread, and convert them into appe-
tizing dishes. They know how to
make the most out OF the cheaper cuts
of meat. over here the average cook
turns up his or her nose at the coars-
er grades OF meat and thinks moth
iug is fit to cat unless it comes from
the neighborhood Of the tonderloin
"Of course a great deal of the add
ed cost in the price of meat products
has come about as a result of combi-
nations of dealers. The farmer Is not
getting much more for his cattle than
he did ten or fifteen years ago. The
government or the state will have to
step in one of these days. If these
combinations continue to increase the
prices, and enact laws prohibiting
dealers from making more than a
certain amount of profit.
Government Is Paternai
This suggestion of course, will be
hailed with cries of 'paternalism,'
Well. let It be paternalism. If You
please. All government is paternal,
when you come right down to brass
tacks. If the government can enact
laws declaring the amount of inter-
est or profit n dealer in money shall
make-like the statutes relating to
usury-why should it not be justi-
fled in setting down the lines for the
dealers in the necessities of life? The
men who rob the market basket are
more criminal than the men who ex-
tort money on Illegal loans.
"a limit of say fifteen or twenty
per cent profit n year might be set
down for the butcher and grocer. The
dry goods merchant or the contrac-
tor who builds houses would be glad
to make as much and If it worked out
for the good of the people in the case
OF the grocer and butcher. might be
extended to include the either. the

Whatever you do, however, L beg

I am therefore opposed to these six
months boycotts against meat The hu-
man frame was built for a mixed diet
and to cut off meat suddenly is likely
to play all kinds OF havoc with the
system. l have observed that those
vegetarian, nut-eating and uncooked-
victual cranks do not live any longer
than the average run of us poor
meat-eating mortals. do not know
that they look hungry, and whenever
meet one Of them I am tempted to
invite him into the nearest restaurant
to have good steak-if happen to
have the price,"
what the present situation re-
quires is a little more judgment ir
