SERIES OF TALKS ON THRIFT

they spend every month for boarding
house dinners and get two meals a
day for two that would make the
boarding house dinners look like five
cent lunch. But she doesn't know
how. She doesn't study her job. She
can't save her energy. The time and
effort spent to get to the boarding
house and back, the dressing, the an
noyance and the worry would more
than get the meal, and a better one,
and clear it away. She doesn't want
to be merely lady, she would rather
be woman; now it is too late-she's
spoiled.
But it's not altogether her fault.
She wasn't trained right. She is a
parlor ornament and not a thrifty
wife. She can't manage. She can't
plan. She can't save. She can just
be sweet; but sweetness never runs a
home. It's good for dessert, but a
home is made of beefsteak and pota-
toes and pies and buildings that
"touch the spot, and the old saying
is as true now as ever, that "the way
to mans heart is through his stom-
ach," and luck the woman who found
it out.
Don't spoil your daughter in the
raising. Teach her to look upon
housekeeping as an art-a science,
worthy of a place in the school cur
riculum, and absolutely essential to
the comfort and well being of home.
If the wife is woman, she will be a
lady, but she can't be a lady and a
big doll.

Somewhere in the suburbs of New
York live a man and wife, happily
married, with one child. The husband
has a job that brings a fairly good
income and the wife KEGS the house
and takes care of the baby. Both are
we'll bred. He was a Southern gentle
man; she is the daughter of well-to-
do parents, went to boarding school,
is handsome and accomplished. She
learned everything girl should know
but the one essential thing, how to
make home. Her mother has her
maid. The daughters clothes were
always ready and her mending done.
Her youthful years were spent in hav-
ing good time and learning the art
of being lady.
She married. Now she must run a
home. She doesn't know how. Her
husband gives her SIPS month for
the house. Because she never learned
to cook and can't afford cook, they
must take their dinners out. There
for Mr.. Husband comes home, takes
care of the baby while Mrs. Wife
rushes half mile to a boarding house,
eats her dinner, in hurry and rushes
back; then he hurries half a mile to
the boarding house and gets his fag-
end dinner. Her generous allowance
is gone when the month is up and it
has bought no satisfaction. They have
no "homey" meals together; they
blame the baby-they ought to blame
her mother.
Had this wife been brought up to
be woman instead of just a lady,
she would take that thirty dollars

difference a thorough cleaning will

Fathers Wealth Murder Cause

Fargo, May 10.-Anfeld Shi1et, the.
Foster county young man ~ who
killed himself when confronted by
arrest at Sell, NJ D., for the murder
of his father, was the beneficiary of a
$4,000 insurance policy issued to his
father several months ago, it was stat
ed today by Foster officials who have
been investigating the case.
AS further motive for the crime that
is laid at the door Of the young suicide,
one of the letters written to Joseph
Shiflet's housekeeper, ostensibly by
the elder Shifet himself, dated at
Washington, D. c., subsequent to his
disappearance three weeks ago, stated
that he, Joseph Shiflet, had decided his
farm to his son, Anfeld, and that the
deed would be mailed in few days.
The elder Shiflet was also made to say
he would be away several months.
That Shifet, if he committed any
murders within his family previous to
that of his father, did not kill his
mother, who died three years ago, is
positively stated, for that was clear
case of suicide.
The only previous tragedy within
the Shifet household that may be
traced to the young man is the dis
appearance of his brother, nine years
ago, who dropped out of sight in much
the same manner that the elder Shift
let disappeared. ~@ o.

Prairie Fire Causes Death

Woodwork, May 11.-During the
high wind Sunday afternoon a big
prairie fire was started and resulted
in the death of Mrs. Conrad Gottfried
Mrs. Gottfried went out into her
garden and while there discovered the
prairie fire approaching her farm
home. She was found dead in the gar
den a few hours afterward. It is said
that heart disease, induced by fright
was the immediate cause of death.
It is said that the fire originated
near New Home from sparks from the
ashes of an old straw pile, fired some
days previously. The high wind laid
bare the ashes and exposed the smould.
ering straw in the base of the stack.
The fire had been smouldering for sew.
eral days and when it got away it
caused one of the worst prairie fires
known to the vicinity of New Home
for years.
Much valuable pasture land was
burned beside destroying a granary on
the Emil Youngberg farm.
There was another bad fire last Fri
day when fire set by an N. P. engine
ravaged the country four miles east Of
here. Several sections of land were
burned over. Several hundred tons of
hay were destroyed and it was only
after the most strenuous efforts that
the buildings on the farm of J. J.
Dittbenner was saved from destruc-
ton.
