Curious Mourning Custom

dies, the widow paints herself all over
with white pigment. and for the space
or year must not exhibit herself TO q

death. For the rest of her life. unless
she marries again. which is sometimes
allowed, she must not speak, but com.

ALL HAIL THE FOOD rAsLE1sl
No Dishes, No Kitchen Work, Hence
No Household Druduery.

How would you like to throw away
all your kitchen utensils and most Of
the dishes; send your flour, meats.
spices and other pantry stun to a
charitable association; turn the kitch-
en- into den or sunroom; turn the
pantry unto a coy corner, and live on
nuts, fruits and food in tablet form?
It's a long question and it isn't abso-
lutely new, but 1t comes in for consid-
GRAFTON in connection with the recent
discussion of How to Get Rid Of
Household Drudeery," 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
broils that competent cooks prepare,
to say nothing of potatoes mashed
mashed or Drowned with butter and
gravy and pumpkin rie.
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, n cold storage 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 60 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 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 wash. no scraps to throw
away-nothing to do except read, sing,
play and eat fruits, tablets and nuts.

CheerfuIness and MIrth.

Il have always preferred cheerful
ness to mirth. The latter I consider
as an act. the former as habit of the
mind. Mirth is short and transient,
cheerfulness fixed and permanent.
Those are often raised into the great
est transports of mirth who are sub
ject to the greatest depressions of mel
ancholy. On the contrary, cheerfulness.
though it does not give the mind such
exquisite gladness, prevents us from
falling into any depths of sorrow.
Mirth Is like fash of lightning that
breaks through gloom OF clouds and
glitters for moment: cheerfulness
keeps up n kind or daylight in the
mind and fills it with a steady and per.
petual serenity. Addison.
