Cheap High Living.

The advanced cost Of living in accord

chefs of medium as we'll as of the best
class of restaurants and cafes have been
interviewed and have given testimony
that they do not buy the high-priced cuts

One chef Of an American restaurant
which has national reputation is quoted
as saving that he takes from the fore
quarters of the animal-beef. lamb, NUT
ton or veal-not only because they cost
a half or less than half as much as the
rear quarters, but also because for the
reason that he can make from them more
appealing dishes. He asserts with the

be deduced from this testimony. of the
high cost Of living Is that housewives in
buying meats are too prone, as in old

have not been educated in the art OF
cookery. All that is necessary. apparent

them until that practice makes perfect

ambitious cook would experience the de-
light of a classical education in gastron-

are going to win the next game. Take
my tip, for we will win the next game
from the Athletics sure. 1 heard a man
say that he had been offered a bet of
$50 to SO that the Athletics would take
the next two games. Almost Immediately,
if not sooner, l suggested that he let me
take the bet if he would not cover the
money himself.
believe me, the Giants are there with
the comeback. They will play better
ball now than if they had won two games
of the three. The crew is great on COM
ing from behind, so just watch US.
DO l think we will win the series ?
Well, I should say yes. This rain has
done us a world of good. 1t has rested
up our pitchers and after We tie UP the
series, just watch out for us.
I'VE are bond to win, for our boys
have been batting so far below par that
they just must come back good and
strong. Ours is a good hitting club and
we will give some pitchers grand drub-
bling when we strike our stride. So far
the team has not played up to its usual
form at the bat, but everything is bound
to come around all right. Things just

Herzog Full Of Pep.

Throughout the series Herzog has led
the fighting.
On the field he has injected all the pep
per. AT the bat he has more than made
good. figuring in three of the runs the
Giants have made Despite the fact that
he has made few errors, 1t must be
considered that the balls were hit at him
like small cyclones. There was only one
chance missed by him that could be
termed easy. Incidentally, he was
been scored hit, in the opinion Of many
persons Besides these errors, however,
Herzog has cut off at least three doubles
by clever stops, so they must be taken
into consideration. He Is in the game at
all times and never has appeared nervous
or without hope of winning.
Buck says he is not surprised at the
way Baker has been hitting He declares
he realized when he first saw Baker in
Ridgely that Frank was a great natural
hitter. For that reason, he said, he took
pains and tried to help Baker to learn
the fine points of the game,
HerZog is very fond of Baker, but. of
course. he will not say he is glad the
other Maryland boy made two home runs.
There is no doubt about his ability,
said HerZog. HE is a grand ball player.
am sorry in one way that he made those
two long clouts, for they cost us two
games, but IL any member of the Ath-
letics had to make them. in accord with
the wishes of Dame Fortune, l am glad
they fell to Bakers lot.

TRAGIC end FOR
3 MINNESOTANS
WOMAN CRAZED BY IMPENDING
OPERATION KILLS TWO
SONS AND SELF.

Virginia, Mimi, Jan. 6.-Dread of an
approaching surgical operation, the
second in less than a year, is believed
to have mentally unbalanced Mrs. Nell
son Swanson, aged 81, wife Of Vir-
ginia miner, prompting her to take the
lives of her two boys, Carl aged 8,
and Bernard, aged 6, by giving them
carbolic acid, then to add suicide 10
the double crime by drinking some Of
the poison herself.
Her husband found the mother and
two children in dying agony last night
and they expired before medical aid
could arrive So far as known the
Swansons domestic relations were
happy. Mr. Swanson cannot account
for the triple tragedy on any other
theory than dread over the operation.
The couple also had 4-year- old
daughter, but the mother spared her.
Writing in Death Agony.
The mother and two children were
writhing in death agony dressed in
night attire and lying on the bed when
Mr.. Swanson entered the bedroom.
He hastily notified the police and
when Chief Walsh and patrolman
arrived the man was nearly beside
himself from grief. He went on so

he said he could in a measure under

driven crazy through fear of the i'm
pending operation he could not under
stand why she had killed the boys,
MY boys! My boys!" he cried again
and again. Then wild delirium of
grief would seize him, and he would
tear UP and down, crying, moaning and
grabbing at his hair.
Several times he asked for the key
to his home that he might return and
visit his dead wife and boys, and in
sisted more fiercely upon his wish be-
ing gratified each time 1t was refused
by the chief of police.

all summer at the Virginia mine, and

Then he broke off into wild lamen-
tations.
Insurance policies on the lives of
the boys were carried by the Swanson
family up to about two weeks ago,
when they were permitted to lapse.
The authorities are making a thor
ough investigation today.

COMPLAINT AT MARMARTH

Marmarth, N. D., Jan. 3.-To The
Forum: About a month ago the fight,
which was scheduled at Marmarth and
which was being promoted by the pig
ger element in order to boom their
business temporarily, was stopped.
The piggers took the orders as a
temporary joke and attempted to put
on the Richard and Tremble fight at
Marmarth New Years night In the
face Of the recent order not to do so.
However SO many Of the citizens
of Marmarth respected the order and
stayed away from the sporting event
that the receipts were too small TO
warrant the pugs in getting their faces
battered up and the mill was called
off, as those who paid their money
received it back and took to the adj

While 1t was thought by the bet
ter citizens that the New Year would

seem to be growing more bold than
ever and two or three more are get

CHILD DIES FOR LACK
OF FOOD.

Hibbing, MINI. Jan. 6.-Disaster
eliminated in tragedy yesterday when
Clarence Joseph, the infant son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Blair died for lack of
food.
The father is in the pesthouse here,
and is expected to remain there for
some time, and but for the timely aid
of the village council and some char
liable people it is doubtful how many
of the family would be living now. The
father was taken sick some time ago,
and later on could not get work, and
when found by the humane officer
here, the family was living in the
midst of dirt and restitution in a mis-
cradle shack on Center street. Very
little fuel and no food was in the
house and in the place of door an old
piece Of carpet was nailed up.
