The way to fight the cold storage
trust, is to pay the producer more foi
his chickens, eggs, butter and produce
than the trusts will pay. Pay the
price that will stop the stuff from 60
ing into cold storage. Better pay the
price before it goes into cold storage
and get something fresh and good to
eat than to pay the same price or even
little less for rotten meat and de-
cayed hen fruit after the cold storage
people have kept it on ice for year
or two Let every family buyer de-
mand of his butcher and grocer fresh
meat and vegetables, and do without
rather than to eat any cold
storage stuff of any kind,
and that will not only regu-
late the price, but it will give the
country something really fit to eat.
Regardless of price, this cold storage
stuff is not fit to eat. 1t smells bad.

cold storage meat and fresh meat.

EASY TO WASTE PUBLIC MONEY

Representative Bacon of Arkansas
in recent speech said:
"Ah, sirs, it is easy for us, by
our votes, to waste the money Of
the country. 1t is easy and popu-
lar for us to advocate upon this
floor this or that measure that
pleases somebody who happens to
be present and interested in its
passage or who stands around on
the outside in the lobby waiting to
call out members and encourage
them with a God bless you and
osition, because of the interest
they have in it. In all of this we
are apt to forget the boy who is
following the plow; we fail to
watch the man who is digging
deep in the earth with his pick.
We fail to consider the interests
of the man working in the shop or
the welfare of those who stand
in bread lines begging for bread
and employment in all of the
great cities of the country"
One way to save the peoples mon
ey would be for Uncle Sam to adopt
the Commission form of Government
and require one man to do the worl
ten are being paid for playing at now
Uncle Sam easily has ten times as
many employees in Washington as he
needs, and he pays each and every
one Of them twice as much as he
earns; some of them ten times az
much. ~ +.

& American heiresses who with the

selves to the degenerate sons of noble

commisserated more than condemned.

ear. The left rosette was encircled
by dainty wreath of holly OF the
variegated kind. the soft creamy
white and pale green leaves. with tiny
crimson berries. The ties were Of
soft white ribbon, and altogether It
was a most attractive bit of millinery.

tions. The solid porch at the front
will be found great protection, as II
will blanket to certain extent the
broad exposed side of the living room.
In other ways, too. the arrange
ment of this house is desirable. II Is
well suited for a narrow building site,
its width being but % feet G inches.
Even counting the side entrance porch,
II doesn't require more than 25 feet.
The side entrance Is very popular at
the present time and this is good
example of the possibilities of this
kind of arrangement. The living room
extends clear across the front of the
house, the reception room and stair
hall occupy the middle of the side
and at the rear are the dining-room
and kitchen. There Is a small den
will be useful for many purposes.
On the second floor are three good.
sized bedrooms, each with a clothes
closet opening off from 1t. The bath
room is also on this floor and finds
itself directly above the kitchen. This
brings all the plumbing together and
makes quite a saving In this factor OF
the expense. 1t is in matters OF this
kind that the experienced house de-
signer can save good deal of money
for his clients. Too often not enough
thought is given matters OF this kind.
but there is no doubt but that substan-
tial savings may be accomplished In
the construction of any house by hav-
ing 1t properly designed.
In exterior appearance the house
illustrated herewith is very satisfac-
tory. It is dignified, neat and sub
stantial. 1t has the home atmosphere.
A house of this kind has the advan-
tage OF being very easily kept up so
that 1t always presents a neat and
well-cared-for appearance. The cost
of this seven-room. story and half
house is estimated at $4,000.

PaIstable Liver.


Lambs or calf's liver Is not dish
to be despised. The common method
OF serving It fried with bacon Is very
appetlzing II we'll, cooked; but one
likes variety even In serving liver.
Try this way and SEQ how choice
a dish II is: Fry three slices OF SAT-
pork until brown. lay in the liver and
scar well on both sides, then put into
a covered baking dish with a few po-
tatoes parboiled. a few carrots and an
onion that has been fried brown In
the pork fat II you have little broth
or stock pour II over the meat and
vegetables, II not use boiling water,
cover and cook for several hours until
the vegetables are tender. Serve In
the casserole. Season when the dish
is about half cooked.
Another nice way to serve liver Is
to wrap a piece of bacon around each
piece of liver after seasoning well and
rolling in -four then bake In a hot
oven until the bacon is crisp. Turn
once during the cooking. Liver with
curry sauce is another way to add
variety to its serving. Cook the nvei
as usual, adding bit of onion to the
fat for flavor. Remove the liver and
add two tablespoonfuls of -four. hail
teaspoonful OF curry powder and a cur
OF stock Strain over the liver and
serve with rice.

Pickles Like Mother Used TO Make.
The following are old and tried re-
cipes which are never quite out
classed by the new and up-to-date
pickles;
Green Tomato Pickles-Slice one
peck OF green tomatoes into Jar. put
layer OF tomatoes, then a few slices
OF onion, using half a dozen onions,
sprinkle with n cupful OF salt and lot
stand "a hours. drain and add one
quart OF vinegar and choice OF spices:
cook until the vegetables are tender.
When cold add tablespoonful OF
ground mustard mixed with little
vinegar.
Ripe Cucumber Pickles--Cut ripe Gu
cumbers in halves. cover with water,
allowing two teasponfuls OF powdered
alum to each quart OF water. Heat
gradually to the boiling point. then let
simmer for two hours on the back part
OF tho range. Drain and chill in Ice
water. Make sirup OF two pounds
OF sugar and n pint of vinegar. with
two tablespoonfuls each of whole
cloves and cinnamon tied in cloth.
Remove the cucumbers and put In
stone far; pour over them the boiling
sirup. Scald the sirup three successive
mornings and pour over the cucum-
bers. Sweet pickles OF different kinds
NAV be prepared from the following
recipe: Take 3ih pounds Of brown
sugar. a pint of vinegar and seven
pounds OF fruit. Splicing is varied to
suit the taste. Always put the spice
in a small muslin bag. then It may be
removed II the pickles are too strong
with spice Most people like one part
cloves to two pats cinnamon for
splicing. Crab apples are delicious
picked in this proportion; also pears
and peaches.
Picked Onions-For those who like
picked onions here is a good recipe:
Select small silver-skinned onions
nut them In brine, after peellng
carefully. Let stand three days in a
brine that will float an egg. Drain and
put in far. making layer three
inches deep; sprinkle with horse rad
ish, cayenne pepper or chopped red

until the Jar is full. Take vinegar

Helpful Hints.


Closely woven goods require less
starch to stiffen.
All fats except mutton can be used
in cookery; that may be used for
salves and soaps.
Put the roast in a very hot oven at
first, then after ten or fifteen minutes
lower the heat SO that II will cook
slowly and retain the juices.
When coloring. use little vaseline
on the hands to keep the dye from
sinking In and then wash them, using
lemon Juice to remove the stains.
Bits OF dampened paper thrown
over the carpet before sweeping Will
aid In keeping down the dust. Tea
leaves are also good and tend to
brighten the carpet.
For long-sleeved corset cover. cut
the top of of your worn winter union
suits. Such a corset cover costs moth
ing and is as good looking as one
made for the purpose.
When having a roof sbingled. save
some OF the shingles and leave them
exposed to the air and sun until well
weathered; then when few shingles
are wanted for patching the roof 1t
will not have that patched look.
When the stilletto Is lost. try using
the orange wood stick. the kind used
for the nails. Many workers prefer
them to bone or ivory one. and II
lost can be easily replaced. The eye
let's made are as smooth and perfect
as II made by the stilletto.

A Workbasket Hint.

Keep In your workbasket several
large-size safety pins, and use them
to string loose buttons. hooks. eyes.
etc. Keep those Of the same size on
the same pin. black hooks on black
pins. white eyes on white pins. etc,
Thus you never will have an untidy
workbasket, or be delayed by not be-
ing able to find instantly what you
nre looking for.
Fasten the safety pins to one side
of the lining OF your basket-and
your method Of securing neatness will
be complete.
