dash it, sort of chap, it has the in.
fictitious ring of a jolly confidence.
This maxwell named Lightnut-
who tells the story is in himself
amusing, and would add humor TO
any page on which he would appear.
His humor is of the obvious, yard
wide kind, and is especially active
and diverting in the many passages
between him and his much wiser and
very discreet man jenkins. When
Lightnut one day receives from the
Orient an unexpected package he
really does not know what to do with
it. The more clever jenkins suggests,
however that it is possible to find
out what is in the box by just
opening the dashed thing" And this
course is evidently followed. With
the discovery that the box contains
a remarkably red. silken and embroid-
cred pair of pajanas, the plot jumps
into whir of farcical happenings,
for various persons successfully put
on the pajamas, and each in turn be-
comes quite unlike himself. A roo
nance is oddly begun, rubies of en-.
ormous value are discovered insids
the buttons of the pajamas, and final.
ly the problem, getting beyond any
mundane explanation, is put to al
professor of PHYSIOLOGY to solve.
The authors idea Is certainly new,
original and highly humorous. The
reader laughs because he must; there
is nothing else for him to do. His sens
sibilities and credulity are fairly
captivated at the outset, and are not
released until the curtain is run down
1t is an exceedingly clever whimsyi
whose impossibility the reader
grants for the sake of the fun that
follows pell nell from it. 1t is a
question which is more hugely enter
taining-Mr Lightnut himself or his
wonderful pajamas-e either, or both,
take it as you will, the story is ire
sistible.

The High Cos! Of Living Reduced

Much has been said about the high COST
Of living, its causes, and the possibilities
Of It's reduction. But little has b,en said
about the most costly leak; the false
economy existing today in nearly every
household.
Much foodstuffs arc bought with but
one point in view: How cheap can / get
it?' without thought of quality or
after cost. One Of the most serious is
baking powder.
By the use Of perfect baking powder the house
wife derive much economy as from any 9th
article used in baking and cooking In selecting
the baking powder, therefore, care should be exer-
cised to purchase that retains it's original
strength, and always remains the same, thus max

Very little Of this eavening gas is produced bv
