DOES BUYING IN QUANTITY PAY1

Buying in large quantities does not
always pay. and perhaps It is because
the French women understands this that
she is SO much more thrifty than the
American housekeeper
or course, one reason why the French
woman buys only enough butter each
day to last through that day is because
her house is not fitted with a refrigera-
tor. Ice is not commodity at every
body's command, as 1t is here. And no.
body misses it. either. Iced drinks. and
frozen desserts, are far less usual In
France than here, and no housekeeper
would expect to see-iced water. butter
balls on a bed of ice. and canteloupe
with silvers of ice in its interior. on the
breakfast table. People of even mod
crate means use ice thus lavishly hero.
and consider 1t a tremendous hardship
when they must go without 1t. -ie ex-
pense of big ice bill is one of the fun
damental expenses of all housekeeping.
OF course We have warmer weather in
many parts of this country than France
has-and. as We have said before. the
lack of ice is not the only reason why
the French housekeeper buys in small
amounts. But it is one reason and
the thought behind it is the great rea-
son for buying in small quantities.
Things bought in large quantities are
always bought on speculation. For in
stance. last winter a housekeeper joined
the Housewives League and bought a
barrel of apples and a barrel of potatoes
to use during the winter. A month later
her husband was called 10 a reighborns
city to work. and they closed their house.
gave the potatoes and vegeta bles to a
nearby orphan asylum. and went to the
city to board. Again. in the summer
you buy a big basket of tomatoes, eX-
pecting to can those that are not eaten
fresh in two or three days. Unexpected
company. illness. or some other unfore-
seen condition comes up-and the toma-
toes spoil. Perhaps you lose nothing
on them-perhaps you paid no more for
the big basketful than you would have
paid for the amount you ate of them, but
there was waste. just the same.
Our American method of getting whole
sale prices by buying wholesale quanti-
ties is all very well in most cases. But
occasionally the French housekeeper's
plan of buying supplies for day at a
time. Of having her larder practically
empty at nightfall. is better.

JEWELLERS TO EDUCATE US.

Have you seen the girl in the gar
den smock wearing pair of pearl
earrings, or the girl in the 1860 even
ing frock, full of skirt and beruffled,
wearing heavy Jade bracelet, or the
girl in a Japanese kimona gown with
a diamond sunburst at her throat?
OF course, you have, and you have
probably seen women wearing dia-
monds at breakfast and pearls when
they were playing tennis. Women,
who have good taste in other matters,
do such strange things when it comes
to wearing jewelry!
But if the jewelers. association has
its way they won't commit these
atrocities much longer For the Jew
elers have started campaign to edu-
cate women. into.wearing appropriate
jewelry.
Some of us, because we have been
distressed so often by the bad effect
that jewelry out of place produces,
shun this form of ornamentation en-
tirely. But it isn't necessary and af-
ter the jewelers. ave got to work we
will probably see some big improve
ment.
"The ideal woman of the eugenic

Did YOU ever think of running an
apiary2
The greatest advantage of an
apiary over. for instance, a chicken
farm, is that you can run an apiary
right in the heart of city and in a
very small space. For the bees that
inhabit your apiary can forage for
their own food and require only
small living quarters.
You can make hives for your bees
in a gable in the attic or in 4 corner
of the roof, and if you are blessed
with a back yard. you can almost fill
it with bees. For they will fly from
two to FIVE miles for honey. and sure
" within that distance there are
flowers galore.
An apiary is a profitable PROPOSE
ton, too, for the honey can be sold at
a profit And the training needed to
make successful raiser of bees can
be got from careful reading of a few
hundred words.

SHOW ANIMALS ARE
ALREADY ON
GROUNDS
READY TO ENTER IN CoMPETI
TON WITH BEST LIVESTOCK
BREEDERS RAISE.
NOV. 2s-DEC. 4
Northwest Livestock Association Show
to be Greatest in History of Show
Quarters for 5000 Animals.

Already large numbers of animals are
quartered at the grounds of the North
west Livestock Show to enter into the
competition which opens Monday, Nov
ember 29th to continue to Decent Der
4th-the week of, this big annual ex-
hibition, which is held at Lewiston un-
der the auspices of the Northwest Live
stock Association. The early arrival
taken into consideration with the entry
books of Sec. Smith, leaves no doubt
that the livestock assembled at Lewis
ton this year will represent higher
standard than has been the case in
the past, while the number of animals
on display will also establish a new
record. The present week in Lewiston
has been an exceptionally busy one, the
fact indicating the growing activities
of an exhibition of type of the North
west Livestock Show To make
adequate arrangements for the aecomo-
dation of approximately 5000 animals,
essentially means much work and dur
ing the past few days scores of people
have been employed at the livestock
show grounds. The Northwest Live
stock Show from it's outset attracted
the support of the leading stockmen of
the Northwest and as consequence the
the best animals from the best farms
were taken to the exhibition with the
result that the show instantly gained
almost national reorganization. To win
at the Northwest Livestock Show was
distinction coveted by the leading
breeding farms.
This year the ordinarily high stand
ard of the show is to be accumulated
by exhibits from noted breeders who
have had their animals at the San
Francisco Worlds exposition, and a
number of prize winners are to come to
Lewiston. Throughout the Northwest,
all reports indicate an Unprecedented
interest in the show and the Northwest.
livestock Association is preparing to
receive the unusual number of exhibit
tors, visitors and spectators. The Asso-
citation meetings are held during the
week of the show and the program will
introduce number of distinguished
men including the governors of the
states of Idaho, Washington and Mon
tana, and heads of the agricultural
colleges of these mmonwealths. The
Northwest Livestock Show is now re-
cognized as really educational insti-
tuition, free from the fictictious ele-
ments of the customary fair, and it is
knowledge of that fact that has now
brought to it the prestige and influence
of the leading men of the Northwest
while its reputation has gained such
momentum, that this year exhibits are
to be received from points as far dis
tant as Wisconsin. The railroads have
granted special rates and these lines
anticipate an unprecedented travel into
Lewiston the week of the big show.
