steamer Albatross was used for this
survey.
A halibut ground was found OF

approximately ESQ square miles. As

Advice to Housewives.

Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
vrooman says that the American
housewife could materially reduce the
cost OF living If she were to get the
flour-mixing habit.
There are some thirty substitutes
that can be mixed with wheat -four
In making bread" he says. Many OF
these are more nutritious than wheat
-four; some Of them are cheaper than
wheat flour, and Of these two or three
at least are commercially obtainable
almost anywhere:
Potatoes, corn flour, and rice can
be used with profit in mixture with
wheat flour In making yeast bread.
With wheat -four as dear as 1t Is now,
the careful housewife stands to effect
quite q saving by using one Of these
products to exc out her wheat -four.
Experiments have shown that the sub
stitutes can be used successfully IN
the proportion of one part to three
parts Of wheat -four At least three
fourths Of the mixture must be good

"Now, the fact that have had so
much trouble with-well, you know
with whom-has never been joke to
me. Last year, when that affair with
Tom was on, wrote, of course, to
Uncle Dick about it-Uncle was then
in the West. Now, since he always
liked Tom, he wrote me beautiful
letter, offering me all manner of felici-
tations and wishes for a bright and
prosperous future. / treasured that
letter from Uncle Dick.

him over and all that sort of thing,

startling to Uncle Dick, when little
over two months after the writing Of
his first letter, he received another
from me, telling him of my engage
ment to Harry. But uncle was terribly
nice about it. He approved of my
course in the matter, even though he
did prefer Tom to anybody else. And

he did give a hint of surprise.
