SUGGESTIONS FOR THE PAGE.

Dear Woman's Page: This depart
ity that many readers much appre-
ciate-myself included. Many good
things have been said, and no doubt
others as good are in store. There
are two suggestions I would offer,
which, if adopted, would in my es-
timation, enlarge the usefulness of
this page considerably, to wit: the
elimination of the fashion designs
and notes on fashion, and the further
elimination of recipes. This space
is far too valuable to be occupied by
those two subjects of discussion, es-
pecially as information on those
two heads we can easily secure else
where. There are covers Of style
books, devoted exclusively to the
portrayal of designs, modes and
methods of making that are in reach
of all, almost for the asking-many
times are. So we could easily and
wisely use our jeff page for some
thing else. AS to recipes: every wo-
man in the land no doubt has a cook
bOOk-mOst of them containing the
great majority Of recipes already
published on this page. If the large,
expensive cook books are not OBJ
tainable, there are hundreds Of others
issued every year, by almost every
firm that puts up anything TO eat.
The baking powder people, the cam
ed meat people, cocoa, and fruit
firms all give away books; and in
deed almost any can of goods bears
several recipes for the preparation
of the contents. The above mention
ed books are full of information con-
corning the preparation of almost
every kind of food and | would sug-
gest to hOusekeepers that they use
the cook books that are obtainable,
or one already on hand-or as I
often do, clip recipes from other pub
licatiOns-and use The Jeff space for
the discussion and dissection of
other wider topics. Home love of
various kinds, and suggestions as to
home management, domestic econo-
my, our schools, churches, children,
civiCs, any of those are important,
and conditions generally call for an
expression of opinion among the wO-
men Of our land. Mrs. r. A MYERS.

ARE OUR COMMON SCHOOLS A
FAILURE?

Some twenty years ago a doctor
said to me that our schools were
worthless; that we ought to teach the
children to take care of their bodies
and how to make a living. We have
been thinking, off and on, ever since
of his remarks and have concluded
he was correct.
The children should be taught to
concentrate their thoughts on that
which is most excellent and useful to
them and not to dwell on immaterial
matters. What could more contribute
to the happiness and efficiency Of the
men and women of a country, than
knowledge of how to take care of
their bodies and to make a living? It

Mrs Myers suggestion is one I hope
all of you will follow, for it will be
of much more interest to have all of
you write for the page.
All letters and articles pertaining
to the home, could be used for our
page. This week we have one on our
schools; and some Of you must give
your opinion on this subject.
In our town last week, the prin-
ciple and teachers Of the public
school had the children make Con-
federate flags to leave on each SOL
dier's grave, On memorial day.
By this way of marking, flowers
were streWn on each grave, when
often before, some Of our most noble
and we'll loved old warriors last
resting place were overlooked and
undecOrated on this day. By all
us, this act on the part Of the school
was much appreciated and we take
this means Of thanking them

Never throw away the lard that re-
mains after frying doughnuts or crul-
lers. Clarity it by throwing in a few
slices of raw potato, and allowing it
to simmer for a little time. Strain
through a cloth, and use for frying.

ware dish, and bake in moderate

Green or red peppers, chopped fine

not be needed. This dish is suitable
for luncheon or supper, or as q veg

Baltimore Sum
 This coming winter will be hard one on psor people in Baltimore and in all American cities. The advance in the price of sugar and coffee vi exact considerable tax Then pota. toes. one of the staple foods in the winter. are this year scarce and high Nevertheless, within d hundred miles of Baltimore vast quantities of food are going to waste on the farms for ack of transportation facilities. Per. ishable food cannot be shipped on the railroads in less than carloadslots because 1t spells before it can be delivered and the express charges are prohibitory.
 A fair and reasonable parcels post system, such as European countries have, would enable the farmer tO ship small parcels Of food direct to the homes of the city people. with whom they could make arrangements. In London the housekeeper can receive a half dozen or dczen fresh eggs every morning by mail and pay for them the country price.

CHAPTER xi.

Daylight YVES in the thick Of his spectacular and intensely bitter fight with the Coastwise Steam Navigation Company. and the Hawaiian. Nics- raguan, and Pacific Mexican Steam ship Company He stirred up a big ger muss than he had anticipated. and even he was astounded at the wide ramificstions of the struggle and ct the unexpected and fncongruous ln- terests that were drawn into 1t. Every newspaper in San Francisco turned upon him It was true, one or two of them had first intimated that they were open to subgldization, but Day. lights judgment was that the situa- ton did not warrant such expenditure. Up to this time the press had been amusingly tolerant and good-naturedly sensational about him. but now he was to learn what viruieut scurr1iousness an sntagonized press was capable of. Every episode Of his fife vas resur. rected to serve as foundations for ma iicious fsbrications. Daylight was frankly amazed st the new interpre- tatior put upon all that he had ac- complished and the deeds he had done. From an Alaskan bero he was mefamorphosed into an Alaskan bully. liar. desperado. and sll-around bad man" The whole affair sank 10 the deeper deeps of rancor and savage ness. The poor woman who had killed herself was dragged out of her gave and parHded on thousands of reams Of paper as a martyr and victim tc Baylfght's ferocious brutality
