Wherever we go we hear discussion
on the worldwide topics, High Prices
OF Foods" High Cost of Living" and
various alleged causes. The difficulty
is everyone seems TO know the cause,
but no one has the remedy, and the
trouble is, l am sorry to say, that
women are not ready to get down to
the remedy. Until they do they must
exercise great care at least when
shops and markets are so inviting, to
keep accounts within their allowance.
There are still seasonable fresh
vegetables, such as squash, white and
sweet potatoes, white and yellow tur-
nips, beets, red and white cabbage.
onions and carrots. Supplement these
with lettuce, celery and good canned
tomatoes, peas, beans and corn.
/ cannot see why there is not abun-
dant variety to satisfy the fasudlous
taste. am. not writing of mushrooms
at s1.25 a pound, nor tomatoes at 40
cents pound; these are only for fam
lies with plenty of means and they
are not living on them for steady diet
These may Ue we'll purchased and still
all that is saved in the buying, but
lost in cooking. Buy right, cook
right, serve right" is a pretty safe
slogan to follow.
Beef, mutton and pork are the staple
meats and poultry is at its best, also
wild game. Fruits require great care
in buying or more than the allowance
Is spent. Apples are fine and plenti-
fuI and reasonable in Canada this
year. but scarce and expensive in the
states. When this is true learn to
supplement other fruits to take the
place. Evaporated fruits we'll bought
and cooked should be on every table
once or twice a week. Then there are
ra'sins, dates. figs and bananas, which
supply US with an abundant amount of
food value.
Evaporated Fruits
All evaporated or dried fruits should
be washed and soaked in Iukewarm
water and left covered from IL to "a
hours. After this slow cooking in
a double boiler for three or four hours
no sugar is necessary If rightly cook

Ceremony Performed on Opening Of
the Hotel Iowa, Old Custom
Among Hotel
Men.
MAN RETURNED KE!
Tells Of Occurrence In Connection
With the Opening Of the Wal
dorf-Astoria In New
York.

An interesting incident in connec-
ton with the opening OF the new
Hotel Iowa was the performing of
ceremony that has been a custom
among hotel men for very many years.
On Saturday afternoon. just before
the hotel was opened, ]. P. Allen, A.
p. Galley, and H. c. yanderhoef,
three Of the men most intimately con-
nected with the opening of the hos
telry, carried the key which locks the
hotel door. out to the middle of the
dam and threw it as far as they could
/ up the river.
| The significance of this ceremony
is that after hotel is opened the
doors are never closed, and
the throwing away of the key sug-
gests the desire OF those interested in
the hotel that it never be closed 1t
would certainly be hard job to FIND
the key now.
Mr.. vanderhoef related an interest
ing incident that occurred in connec.
ton with the opening of the Waldorf
Il Astoria hotel in New York which he
witnessed Following the usual Gus
tom OF throwing away the door key
