That Awful Lob.

Gallons of Oratory were spilled over
the little bill, and the finger of accu-
satIon was pointed at Yantis- He was
charged with corrupting the legisla-
ture by feeding two members on tur-
key and cranberry sauce. There were
dark hints at wine supperS and things
like that. AS Yantis never takes a
drink of anything stronger than cof-
fee, the wine charge didn't get far, but
he still stands accused of feeding tur-
key to hungry legislators. At any
rate he put that jitney bill across the
house with a good majority and into
the senate with the finest prospects.
Then the board of railroad commits
Sioners discovered that they had the
power to grant him the increase in
passenger fares without a special act
and Yarstis. to prove that he had no
motives other than to get his poverty
stricken little jitney road before that
tribunal, requested the senate to with
draw his bill from the calendar. as
he was willing to leave his proposition
to the judgment of the commissioners
Then he packed up what was left of
the turkey and cranberry sauce and is
now headed for Scott City, where the
grass is short and everything else,
with the exception of his railroad, is
long.

he has to come back next session.

EASY WAYS TO AVOID WASTE
Many Methods by Which the Left.
Overs" May Be Converted Into
Appetizlnq Dishes.

OF course, in using Teft-overs'
something new must be added.
Tough steak may be finely chopped,
seasoned with salt, pepper and onions,
and fried in little cakes.
A nice stew can be made OF the
pieces of cold beef. Cut them in small
pieces and cover with water, boil till
tender, add an onion, carrot, pota-
toes, a little turnip, a spoonful of
rice, pepper and salt. Serve with
slices of toasted bread.
Scraps of veal. mutton, lamb or
lean pork, alone or all together, make
a fine meat pie, or, finely chopped up,
may be heated in tomato sauce.
Remnants of fowl of any kind can
be served with cream sauce; hashed
with a dash of mustard and served
on toast; used as sandwiches. The
bones OF fowl slowly simmered In wa.
ter for a long time give the founda-
ton for a rich soup.
Chop pieces of cold ham finely, sea-
son with onion and mustard and use
for sandwiches, with scrambled eggs
or in hash. Horseradish makes a
good seasoning for this.
Cold potatoes may be fried, mashed,
creamed and used in salads.
Other vegetables may be used in
hash or stews, or as a vegetable
salad.
Cold beans and corn warmed up in
milk make a fine succotash.
Cold rice can be made into a pud.
ding or used in mullins and griddle
cakes.
Make hash and balls with leftover
fish. Chop cold oyster. finely and add
to poultry dressing. Dry and pound
all stale bread and use for rolling
c"roquettes and fish in.
Fry cold oatmeal or wheat in butter
and serve with cream and sugar

DenseIy Populated Land.
Austrian Poland is practically en-

This crownland is almost exactly the
size of the state of South Carolina,
but it has a population six times as
great. If continental United States,
exclusive of Alaska, were as densely
populated as Galicia we would boast
of a population four times as great as
that of Russia. And yet Galicia is
the poorest of all the provinces OF
Austria. 1t lies outside the ramparts

to this little bungalow is made extra
wide. The fashion Of building wide
front steps and a correspondingly wide
concrete walk reaching to the street
has been noticeable during recent
years. One man after surveying his
new bungalow porch remarked that
the steps must have been stolen from
some schoolhouse. At the same time,
after thinking the matter over, he de-
cided that schoolhouse steps are neces-
sary to carry out the bungalow-expan-
sive idea. Wide front steps seem to
require rampant step borders, which
are useful as seats, besides giving the
necessary finish to the house porch.
In using this bungalow plan the con-
tour of the lot was taken into con-
sideration. The most attractive bun
galows have rather q low appearance
In front. A winter bungalow requires
a cellar to be deep and well lighted.
1t is better to have a lot slope away
to the back, because it permits the
owner to bury his house in front and
TO have considerable exposure at the
back.
Bungalow cellars are used a good
deal for storage purposes. Access
series must be taken care of. For
this reason a cellar basement becomes
more important than the cellar under
a two-story house. When the lot
slopes away to the back it is easy to
make III excellent storeroom under
the front part of the house and to
finish the rear of the basement in such
a way as to partition off a splendid
laundry and furnace room that is en-
tirely separate from the storeroom de-
partment.
Every house built In the North
should have a heating apparatus in
the basement. Furnaces spoil a cell
lar for cold storage unless it is par
titioned into rooms. 1t is customary
to put larger and deeper windows in
the back wall, for these reasons A
laundry room at the back makes a
comfortable work room both in winter
and in summer. 1t is never hot and it
Is " cold. 1t is easy of access by
way of the stairway that goes down
from the back hall.
The plan Of this bungalow shows
that the living room and dining room
are so closely connected that the two
rooms really make one large ROOM, Is

from the front as well as the side.
Such a combination living room and
dining room requires a uniform de-
sign in woodwork in both rooms. The
floor is of hardwood and the wood

holding at the ceiling is rather
heavy, but severely plain; the only

difference in the general woodwork de-
sign of the two rooms is in the plate
rail and built-in buffet.
Where the living room and dining
room are used as one room the plate
rail sometimes is left out. The din
ing table is placed in one end of the
room next to the kitchen. All the
furniture as we'll as the woodwork cor
responds, so that an elegant room,
comfortably furnished, results. 1t is
much easier to furnish a large room
than a small one, a fact that must
be appreciated because there are so
many large living rooms in the newer
houses.
Especial attention is given to the
woodwork and general finish of the
kitchen. The work of lathing and
p~lastoring is carefully done, and the
woodwork is hard and smooth, and
the whole surface of the walls and
ceilings is given a smooth, glossy fin
ish of pure white enameled paint.
The kitchen is made light by two
large windows and a glass door that
opens on the back porch.
On the opposite side of the house,
which usually is the north or east side,
we have two comfortable bedrooms,
with the necessary clothes closets. lin
en- closet and bathroom.
All the rooms in the house are con
nected by a short hall that takes up
very little space; an arrangement that
is well liked in a house of this de-
sign.
In addition to the splendid base
ment, considerable storage is provided
In the attic. A stairway is built lead
ing up from the pantry, 50 that odd
things may be put out of the way I'M
til needed. The attic has considera-
