Gather Up the Fragments.

The best historical example OF
economy is given uo in the miracle oil
the loaves and fishes. There were
gathered up of the fragments twelve
baskets full" We learn here the dig
nifty of economy.
Far too often the food that would
preserve life is made to feed the
kitchen fire. Bits OF butter left on the
butter plates is often mussy looking,
but perfectly good to use In cooking.
A tablespoonful of cream or half
cupful OF milk may be put into the
mashed potato rather than the garb-
age pail.
All cold mashed potatoes should be
saved for croquettes or puffs. one
cupful will make six croquettes or a
good-sized puff
Much of the wastefulness In the
kitchen is from want of knowledge.
Rice water, for example, may not be
known as nourishing. If the water in
which rise is cooked Is allowed to cool
1t makes jelly. digestible and
strengthening. Such water is an addi-
ton to any soup stock and should
never be thrown away.
Bits of fat may be tried out and used
in many ways In the cooking Even
mt eon and lamb fat may be saved for
healing chapped hands and making
soap.
When one remembers the countless
uses for bread crumbs. one marvels
that they are ever discarded as worth
| less.
Another point in providing for a
| family Is the wastefulness Of large
amounts. 1t is not proof of liberal
ity to have large quantities of left over
food; it is rather lack of manage
ment. Have just enough.
Water n which vegetables have been
boiled, except potato and asparagus
water, should be saved for the basis
of soups.
cupful of cold boiled rice may be
added to breakfast mullins or wafiles
making them lighter, more easily di
gested and more palatable.
The half cup of peas left from to
days dinner may be used in an escal
loped dish for tomorrow's luncheon OIL
supper.

and disappeared.
One of the guy ropes holding the
balloon broke while the lad was on
the rigging. The wind was high, and IN
swinging around the balloon broke the
other ropes, and the balloon ascended
before the boy could jump.
Automobiles, starting in pursuit OF
the wild air craft, found the lad walk

and the graduating class was told to
steer clear of men in whom such great
trust had been placed, but who had
failed in their stewardship.
Former President Roosevelt was
lauded as a real leader and held up as
an example. Professor Laughlin con-
trasted the lives and administrations
Of the two presidents, declaring that
the one was tremendous success
