as getting;' For want of a nail the
shoe was lost:' Creditors have better
memories than debtors and IF you
would know the value of money, go try
ITO borrow some. F" When the old man
had ended, the people approved his doc
'trine, but when the sale opened prac-
ticed the contrary-just as If it had
been a common sermon, which so dis
gusted Franklin that he went away re-
solved to wear his old coat little long
+ er. qFranklin was a printer, and while
working on London paper with forty
other men, they asked how a water
drinking American could carry two
frames upstairs under his arms to their
one, and they drinking strong beer at
ten cents pint, and "ain't these Am
ericans an ignorant, deluded LOTT" "Oh,
yes, said Franklin, ''only one in hun
dred knows an elephant has no tongue. -
Soon after, ! picked up the CENSOR
and noticed clipping which said that
corn flakes is corn meal at Sl2 per
oushel, reminding me that stock food
ls corn meal and salt ut $40 per bushel,
and Murine at so cents per bottle is
colored borax eye water costing one
cent per bottle. Another statement,
viz: bacon is high living" is enron.
eous, and ! wondered why a book on
the cost of high living" was not
out, but as know of none, excuse and
content rlyself writing this. gFilberts
contain $50 calories of energy to 81 or.
bacon 620, peanuts $40, cheese All, oats
1896, rice 247, wheat 339, beans 800, beef
l10, eggs l55, milk 72, potatoes 66, cab
wage 30, tomatoes 20, fruit 1890 Milk
to contain 72 must test 4% protein, So
sugar ands4S fat. Potatoes should be
cooked with skin on to retain food. Ba
con is 80 per cent solid while beefsteak
Az so per cent water, potatoes rs per
cert isrd fruits 80 per cent. Nuts are
richest while fruits are pOorest--show-
ING. perhaps, why natives with unan-
imous opinion for these foods live heal
thiest. While our civilized folks learn
that bacon satisfies the best, bulk for
bulk, thus sustaining the figures and
allowing Attle leeway; go one might
eateat9 WORTHLESS watermelon, knowing
SO Hth.e nonsense is relished by the best
Of men,"
In connection with taking broader
view of economy in living, | will say
we were taught in political economy
that carpenters time in STOPPING for
a nail is worth more than the nail.
Boiled down economy in living depends
on 1.-The man Tor woman) behind the
gun" Shall we be inclined to keep our
money or fool it away? 1t is said that
tires, tools, gasoline, etc, soon cost
more than the original motor car, and
IS the time spent away from ones bust
ness is greater loss than either, from
the economy viewpoint we could not at
ford to take an auto as plft. And so
with economy in foods, the4e is 9 three
sided viewpoint. First: Select foods to
make energy. Second: Aid that ener-
gy with exercise and fresh air. What
could horse do in race eating oats
without training? Third: Conserve that
energy by using horse sense. The dog
that runs fastest through the woods il
not always the best hunter. Let hust-
lers consider this.
/ made another triple observation Of
an asylum report to show the prosper
ity of the institution, about as follows
Amount of produce grown, 81. 900; al
being fed to stock is worth S.. 900; al
being fed to inmates, saving profit t
others, $6, 900: total SIS, 600. As nom
of the grain or stock is sold, can Sc,
only a total of $4,000. This kind o
prosperity is as bad as an lrishman
adversely. He bought a pig and biz
pail of bran While eating supper. tn
pig tipped the pail over and ate tn
bran. Pat caught the pig, put it in tn
pail, and it only half filed it, so Their
was no money in pork.
