RETAIN LONGING FOR ROMANCE
Frequent CAUSE of Tragedy in the Life
of Woman.

1t Is because women are always

ALL HAIL THE FOOD TAeLETsl
No Dishes, No Kitchen Work, Hence
g.. No Household Drudsery.

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
charitable association; turn the kitch-
en- into den or sunroom; turn the
pantry unto coy corner, and live on
nuts, fruits and food in tablet form?
It's a long question and it isn't abso-
iutely new, but 1t comes in for consid-
GRAFTON in connection with the recent
discussion of How to Get Rid of
Household Drudgery," says the Kan
sas City Times.
The suggestion was made in good
faith by a 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 Oh
and devouring the luscious roasts and
brofls that competent cooks prepare,
to say nothing of potatoes mashed
mashed 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, a cold storal room where
drinking water may be cooled and the
fruits chilled. An ornamental jar or
cabinet will hold enough tablets to
feed a family for a 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 a
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 a
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 w9sA, no scraps to throw
away-nothing to do except read, sing,
play and eat fruits. tablets and nuts

IMPORT OF MEATS.

We print in another column a
thoughtful article on the cause of the
prevailing high prices of the ne
cessitics Of existence. It takes the
view so often expressed by The Tribune,
that these abnormally high prices are
caused by trade combinations and mo-
nopolistic combines. These combines
monopolize the markets and dictate
prices, while at the same time fattening
themselves through beating down prices
to the producers and exalting the prices
TO the consumers We arc firm in the
opinion that right there is the real causc
of the cruelty high prices that prevail
for the common necessities of life,
But these scandalously high prices
are inviting foreign imports. A con-
signmcnt Of sol carcasses of New
Zealand frozen mutton was received
few days ago in New York, sort of
"feeler' of the market, with view
TO enlarged shipments if the trial lot
were found profitable. The tariff duty
on such shipments is ] x cents pound,

can pay both the freight and the duty,
and still make a profit at prevailing
prices.
This shipment came direct from Lon
don, but no doubt if it is found profit
able, as indications are that 1t will be,
larger shipments will be made, and
these direct from New Zealand to New
York And in view of the incident, the
New York Evening Pest is moved to
say that il "is trade development of
the past month, and an extraordinary
example of the annihilation of Difficult
ties and distance by scientific methods
and the modern giant freight. carriers

vast shipments from New Zealand to
London grow TO Importance, it may
throw an interesting light on previous
profits within the tariff wall, 1t may
even indicate a simple and quick way

ROOSEVELT TO FRENcHMEN.

That was right good address which
Mr.. Roosevelt delivered in the French
Academy, And he read it in French
too, though it is said that his accent
is defective. We trust, however, that
ii was not so defective as to cause
revival of he cid quip, to the effect that
Frenchmen listened wonderiugly and at
last gave up trying to understand, as
"they don T know English. -
II has been said that Mr.. Roosevelt e
great forte in speaking is to deliver
commouplaces in such strenuous, con
| ident manner as to create the inprcS-
sion that he is stating some new and
great truth. But so far as the address
to the French Academy is concerned,
its commonplace is good, sound doctrine,
which needs to be repeated over and
over lest 1t be forgot.
He dwelt upon the Importance Of do
ing things. The men who are merely
of good intent make nothing for pro
press or advancement in any direction; !;
their purpose, if they have any, is lost
through failure to translate it into nc

assail it. The way TO make an impression
is to strike. The man of thought only
is an incomplete man; some one else
must give actual form to his thought
before it can affect the world. And yet,
this dictum has it's limitations; for
great thoughts are motive power In
themselves, and move humanity by their
sheer force in taking hold of men s
minds and hearts and moving them In
conformity with the thought expressed,
are put into words for an illumination,
guidance, and instruction of mankind in
every age,
1t is not Mr.. Roosevelt, however, who
is likely to give much attention TO mere
abstract thought that points toward or
results in no action. And as practical
man OF affairs. it is natural that he
should be of the same order of mind as
"'Belted Willp of the old ballad; it
was GA word and blow with him.
And Roosevelt, like some others of the
great fighting men, is apt at times to

that they will profit by it; and Ameri-
cans can also find in it much that, in

COMPLETING" TWAIN'S WORK

The dispatches suggest that some one
has been designated by Mr.. Samuel J..
Clemens (''Mark Twain'') to complete
his unfinished stories and sketches, and
TO make use of his manuscripts. No
doubt "Mark'' would be as capable of
selecting his literary successor as any
one could be in that venturesome di.
ness. The lamentable failure made by
one who seeks to finish the literary
work of great writer was cxcmpllfied
in the case of Dickens's incomplete (yct
incomplete) story, "The Mystery of
Edwin brood" The story as ostensibly
completed is crippled failure. And so
in every case. almost necessarily so,
since no writer can get into the earnest
swing of another's work.
1t is sad blow to the world that
Mark Twain should have left any in,
complete work, For the attempt to fin.
ish one part or another or it will be
pitiful. There has come to the world
no fellow to Clemens. His whimsical
genius is inimitable. No matter what
turn any reputed successor might give
to any point or situation, we can be
well assured that Mark would have
made it different; and also, better. il
would be well if there were no attempt
to finish what he has begun But as
there must inevitably be such attempts
the reading public will have to put UT
with the imitation US best it may; and
no one need read it who doesn't wnnt
to. But if the imitation is TO be put
with Mark 8 works in the official edition
complete and nabridged let it be nIair
