FARM AND KITCHEN ECONOMY

England is at last following Ger
many's example i'm advocating food
economy The British board of agri-
culture has issued Ieaflet appealing
TO the people 10 safeguard the national
food and fuel supply in every possible
way
Preserve and store your crops with
tho greatest care" urges the board.
Eat little meat. Cook vegetables by
steaming. Use less coal and gas save
fodder. Waste nothing"
OF course. all this is just as good
aG -e 10 the English i'm time of peace
as in war time And it is still more
applicable to the American people,
who are VIGOROUSLY the greatest vast
ers of food and fuel in the world.
How many millions of dollars could
be saved 10y American farmers and
gardeners # they would preserve and
store their crops with the greatest
care" How many millions would be
saved by all classes of our people
and how much better their health
would probably be-if they would
curtau their meat consumption,
And in the general quest OF econo-
my. the kitchen should not be over

American fields. orchards and gar

size of Belgium. The nutriment we
waste through improper cooking
methods would keep Mexico from
starvation. The fuel we waste in our
cooking would serve to cook nearly

Letters Of the People
DANGER ON STREET CARS.

Editor News-Times.
Much has been said and written re-
Gently regarding the jitney buses. The
pros and cons have expressed them
selves quite freely. our papers, The
News-Times and the Tribune. have
expressed themselves to their hearts
content. L am in possession of enough
facts to make both street car men and
jitney men both glad and mad.
First. much has been said about
safety of people who ride the cars
and jitneys, and those who ride Meth
er, but walk. Both may be criticized.
and justly criticized as regards safe
ty 1t is no doubt true that the jit-
neys are run, sometimes at a rapid
speed, therefore are dangerous TO the
ones who ride in them and to the ores
who are obliged TO walk upon or
across the streets. A desire to grab
the nickel" might be attributed as the
only cause. schedule would elimin-
ate a great deal Of this.
The street cars. in many ways, are
run very carelessly, due to the ineff-
cheney of so many new men who are
everlastingly in charge of cars. either
=.
on both front and back. To my knowl-
edge cars for DAYS and nights have
been allowed 20 run through blocks
that did not work Although the
blocks were reported time and again,
they were not put In working order.
The two cars that ran together. a
head-on collision on Hill ST., near La
sale some time ago, had, according to
meeting orders given out at the sta
ton, q right of way on that single
track. Seems queer 10 say. but never
theless IL is true. No orders were
given out TO meet at the station. only
orders were issued to meet car at
the switch on Hill St, near Madison.
If the public only knew wherein the
real dangers lie they would hesitate
to ride the cars or else they would
make some reports to the state public
service commission in regard TO the
lax system by which the street cars
are run in this city. Again il is a
! known fact that motormen sometimes
sleep while cars are running at the
highest possible speed. These are
! facts that are known only by people
who have been in a position TO know.
If one is regulated do not let the
greater offender go unregulated.

We hear the people say, in town.
"HOw strange it looks with the tank

Where it was built so long ago
And the engines got water there you
know.
There they stopped early and late,
Sometimes the passenger then the
freight
Here they would fill with a big stream
Which would boil up and make the
steam.
Then the engine would start and puff
Because they really had got enough;
Down the track they would fly,
Blowing the smoke way up high.
They always found a level track
While they were running down and
back
The track is smooth and not stony

A SHY MANS WOoING
= ## y - =
BY George Munson
Nobody had believed in William
Merritt. He had been dreamy,
imaginative boy and, had lost half a
dozen positions in his native village.
An orphan, brought up by a distant
relative who used him badly, he had
shaken the dust off his feet and gone
to the metropolis to earn a iveli-
hood.
Ten years later, a man of thirty
two, he was national character. His
bridge across the Potomac was con-
sidered a triumph of American en-
cheering. The tunnel which he had
driven across the Kill van Kull had
been a model for all such undertake
ings in America and Europe:
With all his success and wealth he
was still desperately lonely. His sue
cess had been the result of native
genius and application. To his per-
sonality the shy man owed nothing.
And there had come to him a long
ing to show himself before those who
had jeered him and win their esteem.
He did not long for any personal tri-
umph over them.
He thought of Nettie Haines, the lit
tie girl who had lived across the street
from him. They had been childhood
sweethearts and he had told her that
one day he would marry her. Doubt
less she was married now and had
long ago forgotten him. He thought
of Saunders, who had dismissed him
from the grocery store; Boyce, the
undertaken, for whom he had worked
during one long week. And he went
back.
He registered at the only hotel the
village boosted and made himself
known to Flaxman, the proprietor.
The man shook hands with him cold
ly enough.
