THE ROAD TO WEALTH

Economy is said to be the good
road to wealth, and one of the
best possible ways of exercising
that excellent quality is in saving
food stuffs. Hardly one woman in
hundred would think it worth
while to save the feet of two or
three fowls. Yet there is a large
quantity of gelatin in the feet and
they add very materially to the
stock pot. There should never be
bone, raw or cooked thrown
away until it has passed through
the stock pot. The trimmings from
meat and many vegetables are also
an addition to the soup stock flavor
The tough end of steak, if cut in
small bits and cooked with vege-
tables, will make a most tasty stew,
or cooked with macoroni and gravy
makes most hearty supper dish.
for a chilly, cold night. A speaker
prominent in household economics
is quoted as saying that no econo-
mica1 woman needs a garbage pail"
The garbage pail is too often the
little leak that sinks the great ship
of household efficiency.
What would one say to the wo-
man who removes the marrow from
the bones of steaks and stews and
puts it into the garbage? Yet this
is a common occurrence in many
homes. Bits of fat that are not
liked when cooked or are left after
serving may be rendered and clari-
fled, then used for shortening. Fats
from ducks, chickens and geese are
by many considered much better
than butter for fine cooking -.
The small bit of fat which seemed
too small to save might have been
used to brown the vegetable for
the stew or chowder. Egg shells
are useful to settle coffee and clear

from the market and the shells will
then be ready to use. A half cup
full of potato or cabbage may be
used to flavor a Hream soup.

WONDERFUL DULUTH z
MOST GLORIOUS CITY

But in 1914 another spirit had
gained ascendance.
. The city had quietly acquired all
the property eminently suitable for
industrial purposes, and sold it for
the establishment of various mercan-
tile and manufacturing plants at such
reasonable prices, and upon such fair
conditions that numerous firms. were
induced to engage in extensive opera
tlons in Duluth-the city constituting
the central point of trade on the
American continent.
/. Furthermore. the city gave moral
and material. aid to several enter
prises struggling with lack of funds
and deficient resources. In this way
several large establishments were
founded, numerous enterprises were
launched that gave employment to
thousands, of men. This again gave
enormous returns in population, val
ues, trade and taxes.
j.; Furthermore, owing to the benevo-
lent spirit of the many wealthy men,
the old. firms, the various mills and
manufacturing establishments were
running, with full force day and night.
Even though the present orders were
insufficient, the demand inadequate
for the immediate sale and disposition
of the output, they wisely concluded
that the time would as inevitably
come as the sun would rise on the
morrow, when everything produced
could be sold for fair prices. They
knew that when the world awoke
from the nightmares of panic and in
dustrial disturbance the demand
would be great, and those ready to
supply the suddenly growing require
ments would reap an enormous har-
vest.
Thus they built for the future,
built their own enviable reputation
for wisdom, benevolence and fairness
and they built Duluth.
And from every nook and corner of
the United States, from Canada, South
America, Europe, Asia, Africa and
Australia, people swarmed in great
f1ocks to Duluth.
The city grew; lots were sold; farm
lands were settled; houses were built;
stores were started; streets were paw
ed; and busy, prosperous activity
reigned everywhere.
And the city grew apace. Its pop
ulation increased; it's trade expanded:
its wealth and Importance augmented
all at an enormous scale.
Furthermore, the city itself en-
ployed thousands of men for public
improvements and sane embellish-
ments. Every part of the city, every
dweller within it's limits were supplied
with sewers, water, gas and electricity,
while the wise and benevolent man.
agement of the citys street car system
extended it's lines to every settled p*or-
ton of the city and it's immediate en-
virons, and whenever requested to do
so, brought it's lines to every persons
door. >.
Gladness reigned everywhere, and
the lofty hillside became covered with
happy, magnificent homes. And every
inhabitant is joyfully proclaiming the
glories of Duluth--Wonderful Du-
luth!

Yes, wonderful Duluth!


Yes, wonderful Duluth! ...:,
A city alive ~ thriving, ( expanding
activity by day, and covered by the
star spangled' banner OF heaven by
night. - ~
A city where all the: people are free
and happy;F where disease cannot be
found; where vice, does not exist, and
where crimes: are; never committed
A city whose mild, balmy, *invigor-
ating climate creates the. most ideal
activities, tending to lift the mind. and
the soul into the Hottest realms. -.
A city where stately buildings,
beautiful homes; and graceful en-
bellishments are enhancing the ma
tural and magnificent beauty of the
embracing hillside: ,.
During the autumn and winter of
the year 1914, while the sinful world
was warning; while panic. wrought its
devastating fury upon American in
dustries; while various activities were
abandoned Or curtailed; while mills
were shut down and factories closed
In different parts of the United States:
While men were without work; and.
women and children were crying in
the agonies: of cold and want and
hunger-Duluth, Duluth alone, stood
forth like blazing sun on the Amer
lean horizon. Like pillar or cloud
by day and a pillar of fire by night"
1t led the starving, suffering, anxious
and agonized people of our country
to the Canaan of abundance, to it's
own spacious confines, where peace
and plenty could be found for every
one.
Lingering for years in a lethargy
of adolescence, Duluth suddenly
awoke to it's opportunities, it's duties,
it's mission.
And this awakening may be said at
least in a measure to be due to the
many wealthy, brilliant and public
spirited men of Duluth, not to forget,
however, it's wise and benevolent city
fathers.
Time was. when avaricious specu-
lators would hold all available: sites
for shops, docks and factories at such
figures as to drive all intending pur-
chasers away and to stife all ambi-
ton; when the wealthy men would
buy. their supplies at other places, and
would take pride inxsspending large
portions of the yskE away fnom Du-
luth, while investing their money in
enterprises of other cities, other
states, other nations.

DON'T GIVE A RAP
ABOUT YOUR ENEMIES
Herbert Kaufman.


You can't make real success with
out making real enemies.
You can't hold a strong position
without strong opposition.
You won't seem right to any if you
don't seem wrong to many.
A useful life can't be entirely peace
full and carefree.
You must do your duty as you
see it.
Every earnest man in every genera
ton. has paid the price of individ-
uality.
You can't dodge.
The greater you are, the greater
the penalty of your progress. The
farther you go, the wider your range,
the more you increase the points of
contact with which you must reckon,
and, therefore, you multiply your bat
ties against misconception and Islander
and envy and malice.
You can't avoid or evade your al
lotted destiny-you can only hold
down your share Of trouble by hold
ing back. ;;'
In every sphere men gibe and
sneer-even the peace of the ditch
digger is threatened by the unem-
ployed laborer who covets his job.
So long. as you aspire, others will
,conspire-so long as you try, others
will vie. :. :,
= You'll have hostility to face in
every. place and at every pace.

ashamed TO acknowledge you as a
friend, don't you give a rap for your
enemies -s'

TO UNION MEN OF DULUTH.

This is to be little heart to heart talk with the
! union men of the city of Duluth. 4:@
There has of late been adverse, and in or
two instances unfortunate criticisms of The
World, it's management editor, largely because
of transformation.
First the editor wishes to state that any time any
OF his views items do not appeal to the senti-
14ments of member of organized labor the injured
member will write letter stating his objections with
! reasons why, his letter will be published
" At time to the knowledge of the editor have the
columns of The Labor World been closed any
Of organized labor who desired express his opinions
in writing At time has the editor taken advantage
of any one because of personal enmiy in the columns
Of this At all times The Labor World subject
to correction and if proved to be ashamed
ors backward about admitting it.
Second the editor attention to the fact that
communication has been received any of
those few members of unions who whispering among
their friends, concerning grievance they may
because of the attitude of The Labor World j.:
The editor or the management makes no pretense
OF trying to please agree with type human
heing. " ~ :. .
J. Third the editorial policy of The Labor World is
not and has been Influenced by any advertiser
large small Any statement made that The Labor
World during the week the editor was in Chicago
fused to publish item regarding the relation between
firm in the city the unon because of the ADVERTISING
this firm does with The Labor World is based on
facts but is made through misunderstanding the part
of the one who makes such statement @'"*
f. Fourth if the editor is correctly informed, of the
story told by member Of another organization regard
ing. news item which appeared in The Labor World,
we wish to state that the story told has greatly
exaggerated and does not conform to the truth
It is rather unfortunate that members of organized
labor will forget themselves allow expressions
OF this kind to escape them. The spreading of such
news is an injustice to The Labor World and reflects
but little credit the organized labor movement.
l. The news item in question, at the time August 29th
was submitted to members of the Trades As
sembly and last Tuesday submitted to a man pro-
mnenty connected with the international move
ment All of these have substantially said there
is ground for ofense complaint from the organ
ization in question.
Honest criticism is always to be welcomed Any
criticism that member of organized labor desires
make in writing will be given consideration
All the editor asks is that he be allowed the
free expression of his opinions An who is not
free to opinions be editor An editor
who Is "free' will allow himself to become the
tool of any set of men,
Send in your news your criticisms and The Labor
World will publish them. If any misstatements are
made in the columns of this paper they will gladly be
retracted.

RELIEVING UNEMPLOYMENT.

Recently the commission, appointed by Mayor Nit
che of New York headed by George Perkins "Pro-
gressive" fame to seek into ways and relieve
the stress of hunger the unemployed turned

St The wonderful remedy suggested was to declare an
embargo wheat. Think Of the great benefit this
would be to the unemployed! ..,
s An embargo on wheat would that instead Of
shipping millions of bushels Of wheat the warning
tons the wheat would accumulate storehouses

demand the argument follows that the price of wheat
would fall to normal. Hooray! Wouldn't that be fine
for the unemployed? 80.
Where the unemployed to get money to purchase
the wheat at SOC instead of $140 Mr. Perkins and
the Commission does not say, neither learned
hnancier suggest where the unemployed might find" the
necessary funds
Other gentlemen of less note than Mr. Perkins, how
ever have made definite and practical proposals to
leve the permanent unemployment situation Senators

bill do not believe in taking advantage of the msfor-

state should be above the average typical employer
