LEAVE OUT THE SUPERFLUOUS

they often did without it. for expe-
diency's sake; but now, she says, to
want and to have go hand in hand
without regard for expediency. This
woman says: my idea Of the wide
spread complaint of the high cost of
living is that people are not temper

wants, namely: food, clothing and
shelter. Some people cut down on
food and shelter and spend an over.

Beanpot Stew.

A choice dish of meat is prepared
OF the cheapest cuts of meat. Legs
and neck pieces may be used. Beef,
fresh pork, lamb and veal may be
used together. Get them cut up in
lengths Of three inches or So, then
with a sharp trimming knife trim off
fat and outside rinds. Place in two.

ling spices, salt and pepper to taste,
and INT teaspoon of sugar. Fill with
water one inch from top, cover pot
tight and do not uncover until ready
to serve. Bake from four to eight
hours, according to amount of heat;
the slower the better. About five
pounds Of meat as you buy it is needed
for a two-quart pot.

Water of immortality.
The legend of the origin Of Amritsar
tells how, one morning long ago, a
woman carried her husband In a has
ket-he being without hands or feet
and placed him in the shadow of a
tree while she sought aims in the
neighborhood. According to the story,
the cripple noticed a crow, similarly
afflicted with lameness, fly to an ad-
jacent pool and become cured as soon
as its legs touched the water; its
plumage turning milk-white at the
same time. Rolling towards the pool,
the poor cripple himself became re-
stored, and on his wife's return she
found a perfect husband with normal
extremities sitting upon the basket.

That Vacant Chair,

Perhaps it is more sad when a chair
Is vacant in life than in death. Men
make a feast. Many who might belong
at the table are not there. Death has
not claimed them. What the world
votes to be failures has kept them
away. In the race as 1t is run they are
the laggards. Perhaps, in our reckon
ing they will never win. Had you
noticed how in the next generation
their children almost always arrive?
