Cause Of the Rumor.

Rumors that the Santa Fe or some
other railroad is backing the Marsh
line deal became current when 1t was
generally realized, recently, that the
new road is a sure go. Observing the
fact that work is under way on the
read, and knowing that the general
public has not been called upon to
help finance 1t, people have been cast
ing about for a solution Of the puzzle
of how Mr.. Marsh could, alone, pro-
ject and cause to be financed

the brilliant races OF his political
career, and the result is pleasing both
to the mayor-elect and to his friends.

Home Economics.

Home Economics.
The need for the study,of Home
Economics is as great in the coun-
Try schools as in the schools Of
the city. The knowledge of tits
necessary and should form a part
of the trainlng of the young man
and woman for good. effective
and useful citizenship. Some re-
gard the study Of Home Econ0m-
les as fad, as impractical, and
not adapted to the needs of poor
people. This is a great mistake.
Much is said about balanced ra.
tions for domestic animals. 1t is
lust as necessary that people have
balanced rations also. Persons
spend years taking special train
ing Tor professions. Why should
not training be taken for the pro,
fession of home making? Ifpeo-
pie use their beads more, they
will not have to use hands and
feet and backs so much. 1t is a
well established fact that tuber-
culosis, typhoid and number of
other diseases are filth products
largely, and are chiefly condi-
tional.
The happiness of a family de-
pends largely on a proper knowl-
edge of home conditions. The
success of marriage, or the Sc
cret causes of a divorce case, lie
here. Husbands, improperly
nourished, get nervous. irritable,
ill-tempered and go elsewhere
when not at work; then comes
dissatisfaction, desertion and d.
vorce. Badly prepared food
weakens both body and mind and
renders men unfit for work.
Home Economics teaches how so
TO cook the cheaper articles of
food as to make them more pala-
table and nourishing than the
higher priced.
Among the presents which
children should give to their mo-
theirs might be the labor-saving
domestic appliances as bread
mixers, freless cookers, dustless
busters, etc.
Give people proper knowledge
of food, sunlight, fresh air, and
in the end disease will be ban
ished; it will be driven from the
earth as wild beasts and poison.
Gus snakes have been driven.
