1t is not the tariff, but rather
the artificial life and living of the
present-day American to which
the high cost Of living is attribut,
ed by DR.. Harvey w. Wiley
formerly head of National Bureau
of Chemistry. In a recent address
he berated the American people
for allowing the ignorance as to
public health and the food supply
to hand over to death every year
its enormous toll human lives and
to decrease the average number
Of our years from GO to 40. He
made a strong appeal to house
wives to consider the source and
character of the food with which
they nourish their husbands and
children rather than to think on
ly Of the price, for economy in
food has often been shown to lead
TO the most disastrous results. He
urged every one to unite in a
great crusade to simplify our
scheme of living and to fight for
a fair return to the laborer for his
money rather than to seek to raise
his actual wages,

Ice being cheap, there is no OBJ,
struction TO the light on the hog
killing question which is thus dis,
pensed by the Southern Rurallst:
"Cool weather is cheap and all
right if it comes when needed. 1t
is not economy to continue to feed
a crop of hogs after they are
ready for killing simply because
hog-kilIing weather does not come.
The secret of preserving meat is
to get rid of the animal heat. In
cool weather one-haIf pound of
ice to each pound Of meat will do
this and insure keeping, Break
the ice into Jumps and pack with
cuts of meat in alternating layers
for two hours. Then salt and
smoke. There need to be no
worry about keeping"

In a Christmas talk 10 girls en-
titled What Can We Afford?'
published in the December Wo,
mans Home Companion, appears
the following: 1T is a good idea
to keep a little extra fund over
and above running expenses,
which may be devoted entirely to
chance expenditure, for what in
the best sense may be called bar
gains. The French word for bar
gains may be better than 0urslt IS
occasion. Here is an occasion, an
opportunity, secure at a bargain
some cherished thing, a book one
has long wanted, a good photo
graph, a bit of material lovely in
color or texture; or, here, for an
expenditure far smaller than
the return, is the occasion to hear
a good speaker, to enjoy good
music, or good drama, Be exact
about your spending, and people
may call you practical; but there
is a higher sort Of practically,
and if you want to keep really
practical account you must not
neglect TO spend a certain amount
each month on the Wished-fOr
things as well as on the so-called
necessities"

Not Drunk, Yet Died

An inquest was held at Lambeth a
few days on a man of fifty eight, who
died in the in6rmary, and who, the
coroner's officer stated, was known to
have drawn 81 day and to have
spent the whole sum on whisky. Yet
he was seldom seen helpless. A post
mortem examination disclosed the
condition known as "hobnail liver"
and death was due to chronic alcohol
ism. "A verdict in accordance with
the medical evidence was returned."-

Temperance Work Among
Foreigners

Poles, Russians, Swedes, Finnish,
Slovaks, Magyars, Italians, Greeks,
Swiss, Belgians, French, Hollanders,
Germans, Scotch, Irish, Welsh, Syr-
ians, Armenians, Hebrews, Chinese,
Spaniards-to all these I distribute
parts of the Holy Scripture and tenn
perance literature in most of these
languages, for most of these people
fall an easy prey to that unholy and
greedy business, the liquor traffic.
They come here with open minds
and empty hands, seeking friends. Our
better people do not make friends
with them. They are left with the
agents of the brewer and the distiller
who teach them that they have come
to country where everybody drinks;
that the climate requires drink; that
hard work requires drink; that dust in
the mine and the mill require drink;
that they should drink as much as
they can to gain strength for their
hard work. The result is that men
and women who drink little or moth
ing in the old world become mighty
to drink"
The stereopticon is my aid in doing
temperance work among these for
eigners. l use the slides prepared by
the Scientific Temperance Federation,
20 Truall ST., Boston, for a scientific
basis for my teaching, laying special
emphasis on the effect of alcohol on
the ability to do hard work, also on
the health.
AS I deal largely with children and
foreigners who understand but little
English l illustrate scientific facts with
pictures and cartoons. Also use APP
propriate songs and hymns on slides.
| am constantly on the lookout for
newspaper cartoons illustrating tenn
perance points, and I get slides made
of these. I always have a packed
house in the mining towns, and for
eigners surprise me by their interest
in the subject of temperance. Rev.
