scattering her husband s ashes to the

Mrs. Starr won fame as a circus per-

Starr In her act at Niblo s, many
years ago she was loaded into the
mouth of a canon and fred to a
trapeze, on which she did stunts un-

a net.
She was known then as "Zazel, the
Human Cannon Ball. - 1t was in this
perilous thriller that an unexpected
explosion almost crippled her for life.
She still suffers from spinal injury
that forces her to abandon strenuous
circus work.
Mrs. Starr said her husband re
quested that his body be cremated
and the ashes 'tstrewn to the fouI
winds.'' and that she was dissuaded
| from carrying out the latter lnJunc-
ton by British folks who said she
would not be allowed to do it in Eng

M'LISS POINTS OUT WAY
OF BEATING BEEF BARONS
Careful Study of Various Cuts, Their Prices and
Nutriment, Plus Avoidance of Waste,
VIII Solve Problem

TO II, lean and anemic vegetarians to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
The whole question, then, resolves itself
into the problem of how to face the meat
situation without actually giving UP flesh
food
This, according to an expert who has
made study of the economical use Of
meat for a long period of years, is done in
two ways: First, by a careful study Of
the various cuts, their prices and the
relative quantity of nutrlment contained
In them; and, secondly, by a meticulous
avoidance of waste.
Many women who seriously regard
themselves as efficient housekeepers and
conservers of the family income are
totally ignorant Of the difference in the
cuts and the fuel value contained in them
They believe that porterhouse steak at
80 or 35 cents pound must of necessity
be the choicest part of the beef because
of its altitudinous price and established
reputation for tenderness They feel that
they cannot use the cheaper cuts because
their families will be not so we'll nour.
lshed as II they had bought the more ex.
pensive. They believe that just because
the price of chuck ribs, for instance, is
apparently about the lowest of all beef
products 1t is the most economical to buy,
whereas a woman who has really gone
into the matter thoroughly knows that
that part of the animal actually costs her
almost twice as much as she pays for 1t
because virtually half of it is waste.

there is a short chapter drugs and

consumption he says: "All such may be
condemned at once. Leave them alone,
no matter how glowing may be the re-
ports you hear concerning them"
But even the people who have learned
the circulars of cures are disposed to nib.

AS to alcoholic drinks, Hawes says that
in rare cases he allows or even advises
patients to take n little beer at meals This
is much the exception, however. The rule
is that all alcoholic drinks should be left

Serums and vaccines of course, should be
given only by physicians experienced in
treating consumption. Inhalants often help
irritated throats and annoying coughs "As
a general rule, the fewer drugs or artificial
foods or preparations of any kind that are |
taken the better for the patient" he SAYS
Sanatorium patients rarely cough. They
rarely take medicines to control coughs |

Making a Rose Jar

June is rose time. and the riot of wonder

shops reminds one to indulge in that most
delightful pastime, making potpourri jars.
The rose Jar used to be seen on every ones
library table; the home wasn't considered
complete without one at least of these odor.
Gus conceits Now one seldom sees them,
because people are too busy to make them
or more likely, because they don't know
how.
who are really Interested in making one of
these jars will appreciate the following di.
rections. culled from an old, old book on
the subject Gather up all the rose petals
you can get. Get them from the florist, IL
he will let you have them, and get them
from the garden. A few roses sacrificed
before they fall will improve the quality
of the odor. Pinch, twist or cut them from
the stalk, keeping them whole If this is
possible.
Have a dry. shady room, and put your
rose petals in It. Spread few thicknesses
of white paper over the table and place the
roses out on this allowing plenty of air to
penetrate between the petals. Add another
layer each morning, making as many roses
as you possibly can. Now salt them gen.
erousy. Don't bother If they wait for sew
eral weeks before using; all the sweeter will
be the odor. When you are quite sure that
the old petals are thoroughly dried out
place them in covered jar or DISH and
sprinkle them generously with salt. Toss
them about in the jar every day for sew
era more weeks.
Other spring and summer flowers may be
added to the jar with no loss of sweetness.
In fact, the rose jar is a sort of all.year
arrangement. Dried flowers may be added
as they arrive. Violets, hyacinths, honey.
sucke, verbena, magnolia or any highly
scented bloom will do. Dry them separate
ly and salt and use as you do with roses.
