lcent talk on sIousehold Efficiency.
| She said that Il the majority or the
homes were presided over by wives
who were simply pleasure loving pa. -
asites, wasting the earnings OF their
Husbands. the consequence would be
that their sons, the future lawmakers.
would not be frugal in their expen-
diture OF public money.
Household efficiency" said Profess

Or are you making your family &c.
without certain nutritious foods be-
cause the prices arc high, while AZ
the same time throwing away more
than enough good food to Offset

A recent number OF the Ladies'
Home Journal contained good ar
stic1e by Mrs. Christine Frederick on
how to arrange family expense bud
get under the seven headings OF ::
penses, savings, luxuries and adj
Vancement
There is no universal answer to the
question Of how the income should be
distributed in these various divisions
because the apportionment. depends
upon the size Of the income and the
number in the family; the taste and.
education; the locality; the occupa-
ton or social standing. However, it.
Is suggested that in incomes OF $1,000.
or ST. 500 year or Whereabouts the
proportion should be: Shelter, tweutE-
three per cent; food, thirty per cent
clothing, fourteen per cent; operating,
thirteen per cent; savings, ten per
cent; luxuries, four per cent; adj
vancement, six per cent.
Many persons spend nearer ten per
cent than four per cent for Injuries
and more important things suffer, in

The advantages Of keeping house

The ability to see at a glance all.
items OF expense.
Makes possible a comparison of
items to see where greater economy
can be practised.
Any one item can be compared
with the whole budget. thus showing
its relative Importance and giving
further help towards wise spending
and saving

One Good Story
Indigestion or Gratitude.

Though l insist so strongly on the
sacred duty of care in arranging the
bill of fare and choosing the wine, and
though / think that trouble is well be-
slowed on the temperature of the din
ing-room, the flowers, and the waiting,
think that anxiety about choosing
guests is quite unnecessary. You ask
dozen of the pleasantest people you
know, and fling them together in
kind of social hotch-potch. At first
they may be little stiff, but Turtle
makes all men equal" as Lord
seaconsfield said, and good wine makes
the dumb to speak. Presently a pleas
ant murmur of conversation begins to
circle round your board; in ten min
utes every one is talking at once, and
illustrating Lord Houghton's proverb
that 'out of the abundance of the
mouth the heart speaketh." The host,
having set the ball rolling, can now be-
gin to think of his own dinner. The
butler. if he is worth his salt, sees to
it that his master has second help of
mullet and is not fobbed off with a
drumstick. Every one is cheerful, ev-
eryone is comfortable, every one is
on good terms with himself; and,
when the party breaks up, the man
time says to his companion in the
hanson. What good chap our host
is, Did you eat that lobster-curry
Even so Mr.. St Barbe, after dining
with the Neuchatels, declared that he
felt a new and strange sensation about
his heart: IF it isn't indigestion. l
think it must be gratitude. &C. W.

MAKING THEIR MILLIONS.

Have you noticed the pictures OF
the men who have been testifying be-
fore the Industrial Relations Com
mission? Have you studied their
faces? These men, who have been
making their millions and explaining
about their relations to the working
man, are nearly all stern of counte-
nance Lines of care and worry have
stamped their faces. Turn now to the
picture of Henry Ford. Here, too, is
a wrinkled face, but wrinkled with
smiles and twinkling eyes. A kind
Ter, more genial and happy face
would be hard to find What makes
the difference?
1t may be just coincidence, but
We should like to suggest nothing
more nor less than the following as
the recipe: For face full of worry
wrinkles and hardness: directorates,
scheming here and there, and watch
ing every man all the time as a po-
tential enemy. For Henry Ford's
happy face full of smile wrinkles:
overalls and real work in his own
factories, consideration for his en-
ployes, and the music of the birds for
whom he has built homes.

The Open Column
As to Simplified Spelling.

Editor The Missourian:-The follow
ing statement in your account of the
action of the University Faculty re-
garding simplified spelling is mislead
ing:
students will not be asked to use
the simplified forms. Papers in the
English department are now written
in the simplified and the old form OF
spelling and no distinction is made
Choice is with the student"
After adopting the two sections men,
toned in your report, the faculty laid
on the table the following section:
ALLOW students who may wish to do
so to use in their written work any
spellings recommended by a recog-
nized body of scolars, and given vocab-
ulary place in any of the standard die
tionaries (Webster's, The Century,
The Standard; such as abandond,
curv, doctrin, dropt. loren, harth,
helth, fotograf, shall, tung. will, etc"
The English department has never
taken any formal action with regard
to simplified spelling. Each instructor
is therefore free to accept or reject
the simplified forms used by his stu
dents.-R. d. Miller.

COLUMBIA'S COMMERCIAL CLUB.

The Columbia Commercial Club was
organized in 1906. Columbia ther
had muddy streets and board walks
Broadway had a few scattered lights
which resembled lanterns rather
than the lights of city.
Today the business district is light
ed with a white way of which every
Columbian is proud We have more
miles of paved streets than any city
of our size in the state. Two new
railroad stations have been built to
replace the old shacks which now
serve as freight depots. The train
service, while not ideal, is far better
than a few years ago.
Columbia today is a modern little
city as compared with ten years ago.
A change has taken place which is
almost marvellous. Why has, this
change come about? Many factors
enter into a city's growth and pro-
gressiveness, but one which deserves
great credit for Columbia's advance
ment is the Columbia Commercial
Club.
In this respect it seems permissi-
BILE to ask, not what does the CONNER
cial Club owe to Columbia, but what
does Columbia owe to the CONNER
cial Club? 1t is not often that men
organize to serve city gratis It is
far rarer that men pay for the privi-
lege of serving. as the members do
when they join the Columbia Com
mercial Club.
The Commercial Club is a boosters
organization. 1t intends to push Co
lumbia forward. make it more pro-
gressive, larger a better place in
which to live and in which to make a
living.
The annual banquet will be held
Friday night. Do you approve of the
work the Commercial Club has done
for your city? You can encourage
the members materially by attending
the banquet. Its purpose is to arouse
enthusiasm and plan the coming
years work What they do helps you.
What you can do will help them.

German and he was formerly IN instructor
in German at Cornell University. He pushed
n r~evolver against the body of the butler
who opened the door Of Mr.. Morgan's house
and passed in the direction the butler indi-
Gated, which was the opposite to whore Mr..
Nor gan was. The butler shouted to Mr.. Nor
gan to go, upstairs, but finding nothing wrong
upstairs Mr.. Morgan was coming down again
when he met Holt going up. Mrs. Morgan
threw herself between her husband and Holt,
but Mr.. Morgan brushed her aside and
threw Holt and held him while the servants
tied aud beat him and took aw0y the revolver,
but meanwhile Holt had wounded MIR. Nor
gan twice, seriously bat not vitally, in the
groin and the lower abdomen. Holt said
his motive vas to stop murders by American
ammunition in Europe. He did not want
to harm Mr.. Morgan, but sought to alarm
and induce him to do what Holt was unable
to accomplish.
He has since confessed that he came from
Washington, where he placed a bomb that
wrecked the Senate reception room Of the
Capitol building. He heard the explosion
while in the train which took him to Mr..
DIorgan's residence. He himself made the
bomb, putting the heads of matches IN q
hollow in dynamite, which was exploded by
dripping suiphuric acid according to an
accurately calculated time schedule. In his
luggage were found more dynamite, acid,
matches and cartridges. Both crimes show
intelligence and determination in planning,
conditions having been carefully studied be-
fore anything was done, according to elabo-
rate memoranda found in bis possession.
Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British Ambas-
sador, was a guest at Mr.. Morgan's house
when the assault was committed.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German Ambas-
sador, has also been threatened anonymously
and has gone into retirement.
American comment is that such crimes are
characteristic Of German unscrupulousness.
