TO OPEN WRAPPERS EASILY
Paper Cover With Two Rows Of Per-
foratlons Makes Simple Method
and Saves Magazines.

There is scarcely one OF US who
has not torn a magazine in removing
the wrapper-if the publication comes
rolled. And those of us who have not
torn the magazine have worked long
and patiently to get the wrapper off
without damage. Often an end Of the
wrapped is inserted between the
leaves of the periodical it contains
and that makes it still harder to re-
move without tearing the latter, But
here is a simple method of making a
wrapper that can be taken off in a
second and without any damage. Near
the gummed end of the wrapper,
which is the outside end. two rows of
perforations, about half an inch
apart, are run across the paper. This

ORIGINAL CONFIDENCE MAN
Individual Of New Yosk Whose Re.
lance In Humanity Was Not
Misplaced.

New York.--A story is told of ole
New York and of how the expression
confidence man" meant a man in
whom one could not place confidence
at all. 1t is said that some time ago
a very well dressed man with cour-
teous address was wont to walk up
and down the principal streets of the
city.
Whichever he met a stranger Who
looked hopeful to him he would ap-
proach the man and with the most
delightfully."- frank manner he would
ask:
MY dear sir, have you confidence
enough in me, an entire stranger to
you, to lend me IS for an hour or
two?"
And it is said that the man made
an extremely good living by this very
simple means

ECONOMY IN BUYING.

There are some ideas which IT
seems hard to separate ourselves
from in regard to meat values. Meat
that has been used for soup has lost
its flavor, but the food value is there
and the meat may be converted into a
palatable dish with the addition of
some flavoring A frugal housewife
may have two good meals for a family
of four or five from a three-pound
knuckle of veal. Cover the meat with
cold water and cook until the meat is
tender, but not long enough to make
it tasteless
Remove the meat and add two table
spoonfuls Of farina to the stock, flavor
with little mace, add two cups Of
milk or cream and serve hot.
For the next days meal remove the
meat from the bone and cut in small
pieces. Fry a small onion in little
fat, remove the onion and fry the
meat. Cover with water and cook for
ten minutes,- flavor with two tea
spoonfuls Of curry powder, thicken the
gravy with -four and add a tablespoon
full of vinegar Serve with a border
of rice.
The pieces of rare broiled steak
left from dinner make most delicious
dish when combined with a few vege-
tables. Put layer of sliced potatoes
in the bottom of a buttered casserole
add a generous layer of the cold meat,
sprinkling Of grated onion and then
a large cup Of tomato. Season and
bake we'll covered for at least an hour.
Just before serving scatter a table
spoonful or two of cooked peas over
the top

Another valuable reminder to the
housewife who wants to keep her
meat bills down is that a variety OF
fiavorings which change the CHAR
acter of a dish make it more digesti-

For purely material comfort, for a
padded life for the rich and one with
few splinters for the less fortunate,
the old world offers advantages above
America, says the Cleveland Leader.
The chances for the education of the
eye and ear in beautiful pictures and
in worthy music are superior to those
of this new land; the Difference paid
to money-even in countries supposed
to be monarchial and Castle-ridden-
is more marked than it is here
Europe is an ideal place for those
who love luxurious living and are able
to pay for it.

something is radically wrong in the

their outlay for education with
