SMART EFFECTS.

The girl who is found Of unusual
effects has everything in her favor
this spring, says the Chicago Record
Herald. for she may decorate her hat
or frock with almsot anything she
chooses. regardless of texture or
color One young woman who sought
to be different from her friends i'm the
matter of dress. had her heavy crash
suit trimmed with patches of cotton
tapestry I'm which were woven dimin-
utive reproduction Of famous old
tapestries.
The idea of cotton tapestry bands
is really not bad one when used with
heavy natural colOred linen crash, but
the designs would be more in keeping
with the general run Of oddities II
conventional patterns were employed
One Of the smartest little frocks
seen this spring was of heavy linen
trimmed with three-inch bands Of ori-
entail embroidery. which presents al
most the same effect as the tapestry
bands.
Another linen dress that has beer
copied many times is trimmed with
( patches cut from printed Persian
squares. and with the suit is "a Jap

"HANDY'' FOODS
PUT UP PRICES
Much of Undue Cost Of Living
is in Glass and Paper
Packages

CAMBRIDGE. Mass April S.--That
the present high cost of living is due
to the high prices paid for the glass
jars and tins and paper boxes in which
foods are put up is the contention of
Dr. Joseph Lawrence Henderson. pro-
fessor of biological chemistry at the
Harvard Medical Schools.
THE average person spends about
one-third of his income for food" says
Dr. Henderson. "One-half this amount
goes to pay for the glass. tin and paper
boxes. which. although not absolutely
necessary. are very convenient IgnOr-
ant buying is another element
what we eat depends on our pocket

may pay fancy prices for flavor, quail

the actual foodstuff necessary to the
body can be obtained i'm its common
form for a much lower price than after
it. has been treated by some process
which really has no effect as to its
value
"One pays much for apparent con-
venience in buying foods today. but is
IL worth while to pay twice as much as
a foodstuf is worth merely for some
apparent convenience? A large part of
the increase i'm the cost of living can
be laid at the door of the housewives,
who pay for oonveniences I'm the shape
of prepared foodstuffs and the like
"Granulated sugar at 5 1-2 cents a
pound is just as good as that for which
we pay 10 cents. The same is true
with other foods. bacon, -four. cereals
