THE PRICE OF BREAD.


 The sensational rise in the price of flour makes higher price for bread inevitable. If the bakers do not advance the price of the single loaf, they must reduce it's size, or di- lute it's quality.
 For the poor Immigrant who off ten pays not over $1 a week for food, bread is the main dependence. He may have his kettle of soup. brewed from bony hunks of meat that no one else will touch But this costs little, and is merely an appetizer. His long rolled loaf, serving for several meals, is the main backbone for his nuscu- lar task. When he acquires fam fly his board bill increases, but a household of bread eaters lives cheap ly. But a 25 to 50 per cent. advance is blow.
 Mrs. Julian Heath of New York, president of the Housewives league. says. that in this exigency more fam flies should accustom themselves to the use of corn bread, the price of which has not risen appreciably. Also much might be said of the value and hea1thfuIness of rye.
 It is a singular fact that great many well-to-do families always use corn and rye flour prominently, pre- ferring their flavor, while many poor families continue to stick to white wheat ahour, even in times of scarcity and in spite of the fact that much of

portion of owners set fires. Merely they both dislike to Incur blame from insurance companies, and do not want a public reputation for care Iessnesz
 One of the most frequent causes Of hrss is the habit of throwing lighted matches into waste baskets Wood boxes also, often used as spit toons, n11ed with sawdust. are a uni versaI receptacle for matches. A spark of fire will drop into this ma terial, and shoulder unnoticed fol. hours until a business building is acIosed flor the night Later it sbreaks into flame.
 People seem to think that because fire losses are covered with insurance. they do not cost much Insurance rates are increasing They consti- tute a heavy tax on business In many places farmers can not get pro lection .because rates are so high, all the result of careless habits. sas hazardous as in the case of Mrs. O'Leary and her more or less nlythi- cal cow

 Who can gauge the height of a moth CTS ambition or plumb the depths of it? If her children are boys, she would have all of the Presidents of the Unit ed States in turn. They are scarcely out of their swaddling clothes ere she begins laying her plans for the bril- liant campaign She knows of an ar chitect who has made fame and for tune from his business; likewise g. physician who has reached the pinna- cle of success; a merchant as we'll, whose name, is a household word; an inventor, the fame of whose achieve ments have cireled the globe. She can bring to mind 8 score or more of other walks in fife through which men have achieved success.
 But she cannot recall that any of these men have been called upon for the Presidency. Most. if not all of them have been culled from the great army of lawyers, she believes. She decides-lawyers her sons must be. If she hears her two bbys arguing spir- itedIy about which was the aggressor of two cats entering into warfare on the back fence, she imagines one of them, at least, will be a judge ere he reaches the Presidential chair at Washington.
 As the lads grow older. the fond, ambitious mother makes life miserable for the boys by directing their atten- ton to this great lawyer or that one, declaring they must be like him at all hazards Boys develop at an early age their likes and disIikes The man | in question may be a great j1rist on the bench, but decidedly cross indi- vidual off from it, whom. boys do not find congeniaI.
 Because, of him, the lads conceive q dislike for law and lawyers It is well for mother to have lofty aspirations. But ,as has often been said and shown Specific training for a vocation is i'm possible because of at the time such training must begin it is impossible to foresee what a boy will develop into . Even if we could have such knowledge the children would prevent us from applying it because they want to find own way through the great adventures 1 of life. No one can tell what particular line boy will take to. There are no reliable rules to follow. It's all guess work.
 l Mothers should moi be governed py their ambition. They should let their sense rule If she sees that her boys have a good education that would fit them for any line of endeavor, and adds to this a mothers earnest Sug- gestions and judgment on ali the sub- fleets they are sure to bring her for feonsideration,s she has put into their hands the best weapons which could be given them to hew their way through the rocks that they may find in their life paths. It is a discouraging fact. but nevertheless truer than the

A MIDDLE-AGED WOOER

Dear Miss Libbey:
 I am a young woman of twenty-four. good looking. it is said, and strong and healthy. I am earning my own 5hveli-' hood and living with relatives. There is a man living in this town who is about forty-fVe, who has fallen in love with me, and has asked me to keep company with him, with the ob-. ject of natrimonys If Hike him we'll enough at the end Of six months. He is by no means poor. My parents are just crazy for me to accept him, ut I am fearful about it. I am sure that I will meet some man of my own age later on whom could not help loving. Then the tragedy of my life would begin-tied to middIeaged man and longing for the strong, youthful pres ence of the one could love with all my heart Do please advise me PUZZLED
 If you feel that way it would be ur- just to your elderly wooer to accept him. Do not wed unless you are sure you love the man.

An Oyster Club.

For those who do not care for fried oysters the oyster club sandwich comes in still different form. the oysters being poached in their own liquor until the gi1ls curl, when they are drained of moisture and used for the foundation of the sandwich If preferred, oyster club sandwiches may be served with Russian dressing instead of Tnayonnaise, as the addi- tion of the tomato flavor in the, chilli sauce is particularly agreeable with oysters, either fried or poached.

Other Nar.:ie.ties.

Where toasted bread is used variety is given to, the club sandwich by req son of some other meat or fish being substituted for the usual foundation layer of breast of chicken. Thinly sliced duck is delicious with the bacon and other ingredients, and tur- key is also another good substitute. Strips Of rare beef, either cold or freshly cut from a hot roast and
 noistened with horserad1sh may also be useds and strips of rare steak are equally appropriate.
