It is lazy women who make the cos,
Of living high. So says an eminent
mulii,miIIionaire who ought to know
better. He says that wives do not 80
to market. but depend on butchers
boys and the telephone to do market
ing, with the result that they get
the poorest sort Of foodstuifs at the
highest prices It Is a terrible indict-
ment; II true. something ought to be
done to the lazy wives. But is Il
true? We think not. The multtm.i-
lionaire, from the vantage point OF his
private car or limousine. may get g.
wrong perspective Of society. He Is
generally seeing pictures OF things
instead OF the things themselves.
1t Is quite true that there are some
women who do not go to market, bat
these are they who care not what
pricss be. They can afford anything.
But GO per cent Of the women who
supervise the domestic table know

few wives who do not know 10 a frac.
ton where the best and cheapest or
the poorest and only available food
stuffs are to be found. Ask any butcher
or grocer whether women do not know
about prices. The proof Hes In the
fact that women are the economists

new method has been demonstrated
in the tests just made and it offers
cheap and effective way to rid cut

for the farmer S pillow.
Experts took up the subject and di-
rected the tests at Chehalis. Secre-

One hundred fir stumps, from two to
four feet in diameter, were kept burn

kept of the labor required. Stumps
were completely destroyed and roots
burned out at an average of so cents

Distinct advantages of the char pit
system are that it can be operated sue

labor required for blasting stumps ant
it is much less expensive than tn,
