There VIII Be Considerable

Eliminated From Court
Rule Patterned After That In
Force In Supreme Court

A new code Of procedure, made nee.

judiciary by the new constitution, was
adopted by the circuit judges for the
new courts Of appeal, at a meeting held
in the north room Of the supreme
court Friday, says the Columbus Dis.

The most important of the rules
adopted is one providing for abbrevi.
ated bills Of exceptions. This is de-
signed to expedite litigation material.
ly. Under this rule, these bills will
be boiled down to the bone SO as to
contain only the testimony which is
important.
This will obviate the necessity upon
the part Of the reviewing courts of
wading through a mass of unimport-
ant, useless testimony which in no
wise goes to the merits of the litiga.
ton. It will also reduce considerably
the expense which heretofore has at
tached to the carrying up Of cases.
In the past many litigant of limit
ed means, because of the expense in
volved in the preparation Of bills Of
exceptions, which have included every
word Of testimony. has been unable to
appeal to the higher courts when by
so doing the decision of the lower
court might have been reversed and
given in the favor of such litigant
The rule was amended by the judg-
es at the meeting so as to allow the
old form of bills to be filed II either
party desires 1t, and the court so d.
rects that this shall be done.
There are "a circuit judges in the
state, and 13, a majority, were pres
ent to act upon the new rules. The
rules were prepared by joint COM
mittee of circuit judges and members
of the State Bar association. Judge
Louis Fl. Winch of Cleveland, who was
chief justice last year. presided over
the meetings of the Joint committee.
The new rule in question will make
more work for the lawyers, while les
sening 1t for the courts. Heretofore
the stenographers have done all the
work in the preparation of the bill
Of exceptions, merely reproducing ev.
cry word of testimony given. Now
the lawyers must take all this testi-
mony and condense 1t In narrative
form, omitting the non-essentials. The
lawyers are against the new rule. 1t
Is patterned after the rules Of the
United States supreme court.

Saving UP MONEY
TO PURCHASE A HOME

Three years ago became the only
supporter Of my mother and q sister
fifteen years age, writes a contributor
to the Ladies' Home journal I had
$500 in the bank and was earning $3.50
q year az a stenographer.
We lived In a small town where cot.
tages rented from SIS to $40 a month.
] had always wanted a home of my
own and disliked very much the idea
OF paying rent. Upon investigation I
found that the local building and loan
association would make 1t possible. I
learned that ] could purchase a cot
tage for $4,000, and, after making the
first payment, would be allowed to
pay the balance by taking stock in
the association and paying for II
monthly, with per cent interest. The
$500 was used for the first payment
on my home. and took out Is shares
Of stock at 500 each for the balance.
For this amount I paid SIS a month
just what would have paid for rent.
l realized at once the necessity of
insurance. A policy for 1900, cover
ing house and furniture, cost me
$11 80 year. This. together with my
building and loan dues. took $191.5O Of
my yearly income, and left only s5SS.50
for all other expenses. After working
1t out carefully decided upon a def
mite schedule. and each OF us agreed
that our expenditures would come
within the amounts appropriated.
We must do our own work, of
course, and it must be divided accord
ing to our hours at home. The greater
part of the work fell upon mother, but,
as my Office hours were from to 4,
and my sisters school hours some few.
er, sister and l had time in the after.
noon and evening to do a great many
things.
II did not take us long to learn that
while 1t was far less expensive 1t was
also very much better to have simple.
well-prepared food. From books and
magazines We learned the different
food values and how to prepare we'll
balanced meals. Meat was served only
once day, and even then nuts were
sometimes substituted.
BY maintaining small garden and
raising chickens we managed to keep
our grocery bill at an average of SIT
a month. Perhaps this seems unrea-
sonable to some, but 1t is entirely pos
sible and is due to careful buying. our
interest in and study of practical cook
ing and the proper use Of left-overs.
On Monday groceries are little
cheaper, so we buy our weeks supply
at that time. We also save by buying
sugar, potatoes, ETC.. in large quanti-
ties. BY buying case of mixed can
ned goods We save dollar, and it Is
really convenient to have them on
hand.
We have saved much on our fuel
bill by converting our parlor and din
ing room (such as usually found In
small cottages) into one large living
room This can be heated with one
stove, and our living apartments"
being next to the kitchen, are always
warm.
My next important item is clothing
for which I appropriated $1S.75 a
month. While we have been very
economical along this line we have
