GOOD ROADS DAY WORK
GOVERNOR CARLSON AMONG THE
ACTIVE WORKERS.
WieIds Pick and Shovel to Show How
Real Highway improvement Can
Be Attained.

Western Newspaper Union News service.
Denver.-Colorado observed Good
Roads day and as result hundreds
of highways over the whole state are
In better condition. In the aggregate
many thousands OF dollars in labor
was contributed by citizens in gen
eral effort to better the many roads
IN mountain and plain.
Governor Carlson was one of the
first to volunteer for personal service,
aud he made good his promise In
company with State Highway Com
missioner Ehrhart and John F. Kuy-
Kendall of the highway advisory
board. the states chief executive
went to Bergen park in the noun
tains west of Denver.
Arriving there. Governor Carlson
peeled off his coat and vest, threw
his collar and tie into the discard,
and. selecting pick with long
handle, proceeded to show how roads
should be kept in order.
When the pick no longed proved
useful in his labor the governor went
at the accumulated dirt pile with a
big shovel and showed aptitude in
handling that great constructive
weapon.
Telegrams sent out by the state
highway commission brought many
responses from different communities,
all stating much work had been ac-
complished by the day.
The municipal highway officers
started many street improvements
and contributed their full quota to
the work done, and the Colorado Good
Roads Association WAS busy early and
late. The members seem well pleased
at the reports of work that came
from many sections.

Economizing on Eggs.

| recommend no substitute for eggs,
but in place of such, the following
schemes for economy in their use.
When eggs are used for thickening, a
level tablespoonful Of cornstarch may
be substituted for one egg. Do not,
however, use cornstarch entirely, as It
gives a different consistency from the
eggs and adds no protein to the food. as
does the egg. The use of one egg and

here in vast numbers. Most Of them

ment as butter, and is superior in
cleanliness to any except the highest
grades of butter. In cooking, vegetable
oil forms a perfect substitute for but
ter. and, besides being much cheaper,
is also more economical, because a
smaller quantity of it is required.
Cocoa may be substituted for choco-
late in almost all recipes. The product
will not be so rich in fats, but other
wise will be perfectly satisfactory.
New-York tribune., 1915-02-21
Do Not Use Canned Goods.

Canned goods should be avoided al
most as rigidly as bakery products.
Canned tomatoes are cheapest and 60
furthest of any canned vegetable. II
is needless to say that fresh fruit and
vegetables must be purchased only at
the height of their season.
Flour should be bought by the bag,
and should be neither the highest nor
the lowest priced. A we'll advertised,
medium priced -four is usually very
satisfactory.
Let me, then, summarize the rules
by which hand-to-mouth economy may
lose some of its "hit-or-miss" quality
and become at least partially systema-
tiZed:
/. In planning meals. be governed by
special sales, rather than by previously
laid out menus.
2. Go to market daily. Avoid the
telephone.
8. Do your own cooking. Avoid the
bakery.
4. Use fresh Western eggs. Avoid
egg powder.
s. Use oleomargsrine and vegetable
fats. Avoid second grade butter,
6. Avoid canned goods of all kinds.

"Fine drawn work done In different
parts Of the world was the first work
bearing a resemblance TO lace and is
often miscalled lace. Punto and Reti-
celia, made in both edging and inser-
tion and commonly called Greek lace,
came into being in 1850. Punto de
Ragusa was made on the western coast
of Greece by peasants in the fifteenth
and sixteenth centuries. 1t Is the most
exquisite drawn and cut work, and
from these old designs most Of the
modern laces are copied.
"Some prominent English women
several years ago started on search
for pure Greek stitches. After looking
through the museums Of Athens they
went to the beautiful Island of .Egina,
and here in museum they found many
original stitches on tattered vestments.
Through tributary channels many
stitches were brought to light that
were found in almost daily use among
the peasant families.

using inferior materials, often produce
tempting looking goods at low price.
OF these, beware! Their nutritional
value is practically nothing The yell
low color of that delicious looking
cocoanut cake, price 10 cents, is not
due to eggs, but 70 "egg powder, "
which is nothing more than yellow bak-
ing powder. Take 10 cents worth of
materials and throw in your labor and
the price of heat for fifteen minutes
and you will have a cake which is
nourishing.
Buying bread is another example of
bakery extravaganza. There are bak-
cries that make good bread, but for 81
you can make many times as much
bread as you can buy for that amount
at a good bakery. I have not a word
to say against the good bakery and
delicatessen shop, for those who can
afford their products. On the other

There are, however, a great many
people whose incomes are not only
small but uncertain and irregular; peo-
pie who cannot tell at the beginning Of

reality there is no authentic record OF
original Grecisn patterns in all Of the
recognized history Of lace. Most Of the
so-called Greek is composed Of Italian
and Flemish stitches.
"The origin Of lace edging is credited
10 the Greeks and Romans, who orna-
mented their togas and peplums with
patterns wrought In gold and delicate
colors, and when the garments were
new they needed no other trimming on
the immediate edge, according TO the
fashions Of the day, but when they be-
gan to wear and fray the threads were
caught and twisted together, and little

strong economic objection. One can
not take advantage of the various sales
advertised in the newspapers by all up
to-date markets. 1t is poor economy,
certainly, TO buy forequarter OF lamb
at 16 cents on Tuesday when it is ad-
vertised at 13 cents on Thursday. The
woman who practises hand-to-mouth
economy must either read the market
advertisements carefully and be gov
crned by them in choice Of foods or
else go to market daily and find out
for herself what is the best value for
her money.
Personal daily marketing is Of the
drst importance in any case. The tele-
phone may be called the root of un-
economical marketing. One should or

over the telephone. Vegetables, meats
and fruits should be selected by the
housewife herself. This rule cannot be
made too emphatic. The most reliable
clerk cannot serve your interests as
well as you can serve your own.
Avoid the Bakery.
My next important rule, almost as
important as personal marketing, is,
avoid the bakery. There is no better
way to spend much money for little
value than by buying bakery bread
