In the effort to cut down living ex-
penses the first thought must be given to
the vigllant supervision of grocer and

buy the most economical cuts, and un-
derstand the selection of such fruit and
vegetables as contain the greatest amount
of nutrition but If she isn't right on the
job when her goods are delivered she
will find that she can be cheated right
and left. 1t Is most unwise to let the
butchers or grocer's boy depart before
the articles delivered have been examined
to make certain that the buyer is getting
Just what she ordered.
1t is advisable always to keep a close
watch of the temized accounts which
comes each day with the goods. Errors.
not Immediately selected, and allowed
to stand, cost considerable in the course
of a month.
While 1t may appear small and >.irritat-

congress, which directly pertains to the
province of these respective committees
and he wishes their joint services in or
der that each may have a just share in
the results sought to be obtained.
AS the first days session of the Con-
gress will be attended by officials of all
the railroads operating in Alabama. with
a view to aid in some plan to secure more
white farmers for this state 1t is proper
that an opportunity be given the local
committee on immigration to submit any
plans they can suggest to further the
general purposes of the conference.
Then 1t is desired to give the real es-
tate men similar opportunity to ac-
quaint themselves with this movement
that they may share in it, so the COM

work of getting any plans they may have
in shape to place before the Congress,

who are in position to do a great deal
for Birmingham and the state the CON-
mttee on entertainment will be permit
ted to decide just what entertainment
shall be provided, If any, for these dis

While the farm movement committee
has taken the lead in promoting the COM
ing meeting of the land congress, 1t does
not wish to assume all the glory that
may come from 1t and will share 1t with
those other committees whose province
covers any phase of its programme.

tered and consulted with the experts on
beef production.
I'm South America we are working to
increase our beef production to avail our
selves of the world market thrown open
by the diminution of the ranges in North
America" he said.
"Since the United States ceased to pro-
duce enough beef for its own needs this
great opportunity has become of chief
interest in Brazil as well in the Ar
gentine, which is sending beef all over
the world.
Brazil is indebted to the United States
for ideas of commercial efficiency and
organization, said DR.. Muller. Our two
countries do vast trade now but there
is an enormous market there yet for the
United States''
German influence is strong in Brazil,
according to DR.. Muller. The great
weight Germany has in our commerce
is because of the early start Germany
got he said. Germany has been in
dustrious in pushing its advantage and
has cultivated the market systema tically.'
DR.. Muller declared himself strongly in
favor of the integrity of all South Amer

were selected and tests were made with
shovel loads varying from five pounds to
10 pounds. with the result that load of
