CAPITAL JOTTiNGS.

American housewives waste valuable
food and increase the cost of living
when they throw away suet or use it
for soap making, says the department
of agriculture in a statement Saturday.
Suet, the experts contend, contains the
same food value as lard and is a sat
isfaetory substitute for frying pur-
poses and shortening. Cook books have
misied the housewives. they say.
A permanent winter refuge of 1000
acres of land on the east side of Jack
son Hole, in Wyoming, to care for %,
600 head of elk, has been arranged by
the department of agriculture. 1t is ex-
pected that enough hay will be raised
on this tract to feed the entire herd.
The price of land ranged from s25 to
$50 an acre.
State department officials said Sat
urday that while material progress
was being made in effecting a settle
ment with Colombia over the parti-
tion of Panama, probably by the pay
ment of cash indemnity, yet that re-
ports that treaty had been drafted,
fixing the sum at s25,o0e,000, were
entirely unwarranted, and that no un-
derstanding had been reached as to the
sum Colombia might receive.

Secretary Garrison declared Satur-
