CHAPTER VI.

Anyone who pays bills will
realize what it means when I say
our groceries and neat together
have cost us about $3.50 per week
during the past winter. Light
and gas bills have been low. The
expense of clothing has been re-
duced to minimum.
All the time we were having
our experiences. in home-making,
Constance was studying the re-
duction of housekeeping expenses.
Throw nothing away is her solu-
ton.
We have been guided in part by
considering the habits of our
thrifty, foreign-born population,
We knew the Italians, for in
stance, lived at slight expense
principally on macaroni. We
chose spaghetti. Constance takes
a few cents worth of this tooth
some paste, bakes 1t, highly sea-
soned, with milk, cheese and to-
matoes, and one baking forms our
chief dish for three meals.
We have oatmeal good old
Scotch dish-every breakfast. But
we do not buy the package brangs.
We buy rolled oats in bulk, SIX
pounds for rs cents.
Irish stew is another of our
favorite viands.
Their are eplenty of cheap things
good to eat even in these days of
high prices. The principal thing is
to keep from buying expensive
things.
For instance, we never eat any
foods that come prepared They
are too expensive. We never have
any meat or fish tins excepting
salmon) in our refuse barrel. We
do eat canned vegetables, but mod
erately, except tomatoes, which
Constance herself puts up.
We avoid dishes that use eggs or
much butter. Two dozen eggs were
all we consumed between Dec. 1
and March 1. We stopped eating
buckwheat cakes because we were
using too much strip and butter,
and 1 believe our health has been
better for it. Only once this winter
did we buy fine cut of beefsteak,
and that was for an emergency.
We never buy fine roasts or any
expensive cuts of meat. Flank
steak. boiling pieces and pot roasts
are our usual selections. We only
buy meat once a week, though this

Out on the Idaho desert lived
Mr.. and Mrs. P. Dog and their in
teresting children, Minnie and
Skinny and Humpy and Lumpy.
fdr. P. Dog and his wife lived in
the Underground Apartment
House, and were quite happy and
contented. They were fond of the
neighbors and of life, and loved
to sit on the porch and watch the
world go by. The porch was a
pile of sand dug from their resi-
dence, or perhaps ! should say the
porches were. piles Of sand, for
the Underground Apartment
House had numerous doors and
just as many sand porches.
One evening Mrs. and Mr.. p.
Dog were sitting on their sand
porches. You might say one was
sitting on the front porch and
one on the back porch, but which
was front and which was back
would have been hard to tell.

Mr.. P. Dog (for Prairie was Mr..
p. Dogs first name), II see some

"And there's somebody coming
behind you," answered Mr.. B.
Dog, whereupon Mrs. P. Dog
promptly fell off her porch into
the back door, and Mr.. p. Dog did
likewise into the front door. After
q moment they both peeped out.

1T is Butcher Beak, the earth

Crawley. I'm looking for a

Mrs. p. Dog. ''and we can't take

SOLDIER CONVICTED
OF PERJURY

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash /,
april 1.-THE findings of the
board of courtmartial; which has
found Private Wiley Bennett
guilty of perjury, are on the way
to Washington today for the ap-
prevail of the department.
Bennett was arrested as a sus-
pect in the murder Of Private
Robert B. DUNN whose body
was found at the foot of Crows
Nest in February. The evidence
against him was purely circum-
stantial. The murder charge was
dropped.
His stories during the investi-
cation were all conflicting. The

probably never be solved.

amount gives us two or three
meals. With care, cheap cuts can
be made toothsome as the expen-
|sive ones.
Two kitchen tools have proven
|of greatest economy-the food
chopper and the fireless cooker.
We can buy the very cheapest
round and flank steak and with
our food chopper fix it for loaves
and other viands fit for any table.
The cooker bakes beans cheaply
and anything that must be stew
ed or baked, for it keeps the gas
bill low.
Constance herself bakes pie and
the less hich pastries. Because of
our slight consumption of it, we
found 1t no economy to bake bread!
We have kept our health good by
eating salads in moderate quanti-
ties.
Our gas bill hasn't been over So
cents any month this winter, yet
every cold night we have had an
open fire in our living room. Early
in the winter bought one of those
