Best Models Not Obtainable.

Perhaps il isn't strange that so
many plays are rather csrelessly staged
because, of course, good staging does
cost a great deal, and there is always
the chance that the play will fail, and
the expensive settings will be dead
loss. And it's not easy to get really
beautiful gowns for the stage. For the
very best dressmakers wouldn't give
their models to be used there these

By MILDRED WINANs COCHRAN.

VVIHEN the declaration of war
w sent the price of the common
cessities-meat, sugar and
hour-sosring. many a housewife was
forced either to spend more money
than she could afford or to reduce the
quantities consumed. 1t was an at
tempt to avoid both that led to this
study of the situation.
For those who live in the vicinity of
New York the problem hes its own pc
culisr elements. By intelligent buying
we who are situated in the nearby
towns may save many dollars each
month. This means looking for every
chance TO economic, an opportunity
which shopping in large commercial
centre offers. The housekeeper who
has a stated allowance TO spend will
not be slow to find these opportunities,
especially if she is free to add the bal
ance to her personal account.
For a Family of Eight.
The following plan has been tried
and found TO be we'll worth while. My
family of eight includes several wage
earners, who each pay moderate sum
for board. They live within the free
delivery belt of the department stores
Of New York, yet the cost of trip to
the city makes it out of the question
for the housekeeper TO do her daily
shopping there.
A way of overcoming this difficulty
is to use the privilege of shopping by
mail, which the city stores offer in con
nection with their special sales. Thai

cakes and crackers in packages are
tabooed by the buyer who knows that
the same article may be made at home
or bought in bulk at great saving.
Bulk spices and cocoa are sold at half
the price Of the package goods.
All of which does not mean that one
should get poor substitutes for whole
some articles. Only the best of these

tween 50 cents and 81 20, and it is more
than a fourth.
Sugar may be used by any family in
quantities sufficient to make it pay to
take advantage of the reduction on
25-pound bags. Rice, tapiocs, rolled
oats, farina and other cereals should be
bought in fve-pound lots, instead of
in so-caled pound packages. In fact,
any household necessity that does not
quickly deteriorste will represent a
good investment if bought in quanti-
ties, as. for instance. fve-cent soaps
which sell at 39-cents for ten, etc. In
no case need the quality be inferior if
one is careful to buy in store of as
sured reputation.

ample will show the difference. Sweet
potatoes were selling at the nearby
grocery for 10 cents a quart, but were
to be had for less than seven cents
when bought at 81 cents for five quarts
from a New York department store.
One does not need to buy in very
large quantities to get the benefit of
this system. Macaroni costs a cents
for 10 pounds broken, but considering
that the least the whole macaroni sells
for is ~ ounces for 10 cents there is
large saving on this one item alone.

The Little Economies.


The numberless little economies that
go with any consistent attempt to
stretch a dollar to its utmost capacity
are familiar to the average housewife.
For the sake Of the amateur it may
be we'll to mention such things as bRk-
ing vegetables to be used with a roast
to save fuel and, above all, studying
carefully to convert the remnants
from dinner to appetizing courses for
luncheon. The whole secret of success
in reducing the high cost of living is
to stop waste and learn the art Of
skilful buying, thereby earning the
means TO enjoy greater Injuries.

Agreeable Tones.

the American woman, unless trained to
keep the voice down, prone to keep It

earliest years to the development of
an agreeable vocal and conversational
voice. II is recognized that strident,
high-pitched voice, nasal in quality,
fails in saying a good thing well.
Clear utterance and quiet, low tones
are the marks of training or inter

New York.-An appeal to the Amer
lean people for food and money to re-
lieve the distress of Belgians who are
homeless and starving as a result of
the war has been issued by the Bel
gian relief committee in New York,
which, in cooperation with the Rookie
Teller foundation, has arranged to send
food direct to Belgium as rapidly as
full cargoes can be secured. Full
quantities of food must be imported
from America in order to meet abso-
lutte necessities of the famine-stricken
noncombatants, according to repre-
sentatives of the American committee
in Belgium.
In order to avoid competition in the
purchase of supplies and the conse'
quent increase in prices, the relief
committee urges that chambers OF
commerce, boards of trade, women's
clubs or other organizations through
out the United States send o con
tributions or nonperishable foods t.

company was announced this week by
Philip Hamlin, president of the con
pany, in the purchase of the local
plants of the Bell company at Bon
ners Ferry, Hope, Priest River, Wal

cost between 100000 and $25O,00O.
Further expansion is under considera-
ton by the company.
One of the most complete packing
plants of its size in the United States,
according to experts, is the latest in
dustry in Pendleton, Ore. 1t belongs
to the Pendleton Meat Co, which
owns a chain of butcher places in this
part. The cost of the plant is about
$4,000, and it covers an area of 10
acres. The plant will use every year
1000 hogs, 1900 sheep and 1900
beeves. Later, this demand will be
more than doubled. At the present
output, more than $150,o0O a year will
go to farmers and stockmen.

for the Seventh National Apple Show
and Fruit Products, which will be held
in Spokane November 16 to q, accord
ing to President James S. Ramage of
the board of trustees.
The outstanding feature of this

large apple show auditorium, and the
program will include two night SEES
sions also.
Great Band to Entertain.
The stellar entertainment feature Of
the show will be furnished by Chat

years.
The women's department of the
show has been developed on a large
scale, and several thousand entries OF
apple pies, dumplings, %jellies, pre-
serves and other homemade by-prod
ucts will be entered in competition
for approximately $1,000 in prizes.
Ninety thousand square feet of flool
space has been provided to house the
show two blocks north of the very
business center of the city. Here
will be sheltered thousands of boxe!
of the select extra fancy apples from
every orchard district in the Pacific
