Bad Cooking a prominent
Cause Of Divorce.

In the current issue of Farm
and Fireside is an article to
prove that love and a well filled
stomach go well together, but
that hatred and treachery are
born in an underdone steak.
bad cooking is directly respon-
sible for a large percentage of
the divorce evil ard much of the
crime committed-in fact. it
might well be classed as crime
in itself.
A good cook is the greatest
statesman in the country in the
sense of the term.
understanding is all well
enough for its purposes, but the
examination of cooks and kitch-
ems is far more important. Uf
what avail are our pure-food
laws if all food may be ruined
in the kitchen?
No one should be permitted to
cook in any public eating house
who has not been examined,
found competent, and licensed;
and bad cooking-such as now
exists in many public places
should be a misdemeanor punish
able by law"

Another Old Custom
Time Has Changed

With the passing of time has
come the passing of many old
customs; family traditions are
long forgotten.
This is particularly true of one
OF the Oldest customs among the
housewives, that of daughters
following their mothers in the
use of foods and housekeeping
methods.
In the olden days if mother
did a certain thing this way or
that way, daughter did likewise,
regardless of newer and improy-
ed methods.
If mother used a particular
brand of food, daughter w a S
blinded to better kinds merely
because mother had used t h e
same brand for years.
But now both mothers and dau
ghters have changed their meth

"HIGH BROW" AS A STIGMA
Remarkable What Hold AppeIIation
Has Taken on the Minds of
Americans.

The worst fault, however. into which
our age-long service of mediocrity has
led us is a weakened, pusillanimous
Difference to mediocrity Itself. The
college has borrowed the vice from
everyday American life. For example,
the most deadly weapon in the yellow
journalists armory is the term high
brow" A politician may be called
CRATER" boss or even "muckrak-
err" and escape unscratched; but If he
is denounced as high brow" and
the label sticks, his career is ended.
A playwright or novelist may be
written down as cheap he may be
said to plagiarize, he may be shown
to be vicious or unclean, without Sc
rious damage to his reputation; but
let him be proved high brow" and
the public will fly from him as II he
were book agent. Now the wide
spread American belief that knowl-
edge makes a man impractical Is re-
sponsible for some of this curious
odium; but far more is due to our SER
vile Difference to mediocrity. The
weight OF public opinion is usually
against the expert, the specialist, the
thinker, the exceptional man in gen.
eral, for public opinion, whether right
or wrong, is always mediocre, and
there are few among us who do not in
this respect yield somehow, some
where, to public opinion. The doctor
distrusts the advanced political the
orist, the politician distrusts the ad-
vanced dramatist, the dramatist sneers
at the innovation of science. We are
all made timid by the enormous ma
jorities which uphold mediocrity. -

The world was an unsatisfactory
place at best, and If it was to be
hedged in by high walls, what pleas

A band of music was approaching,
and his gaze went to it with the
crowds.
Behind the music came a great
block of marching men. and behind
them another and another, and still
another. Then Pennington under

was the trades parade.
Under other circumstances Pen
nington's gaze would have turned
away inditferently; but there was
only the sidewalk or the street, and
of the two the street was the less
tedious. 1t was at least a moving
bore.
The first impression that came
clearly to his understanding was one
of the strong, stalwart units of the
blocks; the next, their contented and
even happy looks.
How happy and strong they are"

ton looked down, a quick glow COM

But there was an under element of
doggedness in Penningtcn's nature
which had never come to the surface,
and though his limbs trenbled with
