nj. Nj. CORNER.

Americans have been called the most
extravagant and the most wasteful
people on earth. and it's a notable
fact that the poorer class are oftener
open to this charge.
Sometimes it appears that those who
have endured hardships in their youth
are made stronger for the battle of
life.
A grown-up as a rule likes the VIC
tuals his mother cooked, so we say
to each and every mother, resolve to
be good cook; avoid rich cld highly
seasoned food if you wouldn't en-
courage a depraved appetite.
These are practically war times"
We should have begun long ago to
retrench. but-"Better late than new
err" and be careful that you are not
penny wise, and pound foolish" Do
not begin scimping on shortening
making things tough and indigestible.
No dessert would be better. The lat
ter is simply matter of habit. In
one home we know, it is often omit
ted from choice when there is side
dish of corn, tomatoes, peas, or other
vegetables. The young man who went
from this home to the border does not
much miss the dessert
Here are few of the many economi-
cal hints sent in by the mothers.
Buy suet or leaf lard, or both, and
prepare your own shortening. They
may be rendered together, parts OF
lard to l of suet This makes excellent
cookies. Better prepare small
amount first. Fry q few slices of pork
in the lard to give it meaty taste
you will find it excellent for fried po-
tatoeS.
ASK for the bones and trimmings of
the meat you pay for.
while il is true that we are in
clined to over eat, we must remember
that growing children need to eat more
than we, and oftener, especially if they
have much out door exercise.
Few will be satisfied with cereal
alone for breakfast. Learn TO make
/ good pancakes, and a palatable dish
of fried potato.
Rye -four is an economy, but you
must know how to make 9 moist LOAF
II should be started with white -four
and when light the rye flour sifted in
slowly and carefully and the dough
must not be stiff. The children may
not like il at first, so do not deny them
| white bread, which is really the best.
( Why do not more cooks give Us
baked apples and baked potatoes fol
breakfast,-withm milk gravy. Try this
way: Peel, core and quarter the ap-
pies; place them on edge in rather
/ deep tin. which should be well creased
and little water poured in; sprinkle
with sugar, add more, if necessary
i while hot. Almost any kind OF apple
is god baked.

GOVERNOR Philip

Governor Philip spoke at the opera
house last Saturday evening, drawing
out a large crowd. He was introduced
by c. B. Bird. The governor talked
upon state issues the greater part of
the time, giving resume of his adj
ministration, emphasizing that his
great aim had been to reduce the
cost in the various departments, which
he had done to the best of his ability.
Former republican administrations
had piled up the expenses and had
built up costly system which had
taken time and work to change so as
to be less expensive.
The governor said some pleasing
things about Wausau and its people.
He was asked some questions at OBJ
perfume times, one referring to the
shortage in the state treasury, was ex-
planned by laying it on the previous
administration and to the war, and
the general high cost of everything.
Another question was about how he
stood on the water power question.
Of course, that is vital question: our
people want the water powers de-
veloped, so this gave him an oppor-
tunity to swipe the Hastings act and
favor that side which was in accord
ance to the wishes of most of our peo-
plea law which favored water power
owners sufficiently to have them de-
veloped. On the national issues he
said very little, but what he did have
to say, was not in the Roosevelt
Hughes style. The governor talks
right from the shoulder, butt cannot be
said that he is a "knocker." All who
attended expected to hear arguments
favoring the republican party; that
was what he was here for; he seemed
to realize that knockers" do not win
votes and he refrained From a re-
publican standpoint it was very fair
presentation of the issues.

DOING SOME EXPERIMENTING

The teachers of domestic science in
our high school and Industrial school
are just now experimenting with the
by-products OF rye, wheat. corn and
oats, trying to work out nourishing
and inexpensive dishes rs compared
with high grade wheat -four, etc. Many
think it is necessary to get the high
est grade patent -four TO have the
best bread This is a wrong idea.
Just as wholesome and nourishing
bread can be made out of lower grade
-four. When these teachers work out
the various nutritious foods which can
be made from these grains, at COM
paratively low cost they will give the
public the benefit of their experiments.

IMPORTANT MUSICAL EVENT

Lawrence Bernhardt, who needs no
introduction to musical circles here
will make his first appearance as a
concert organist tomorrow evening at
a sacred concert to be given in St.
James church of this city. Compost
tons of Handel, Guilmant, Boellman,
D'Evry and Hor1ins will be included
in his program. st. James choir will
assist with several numbers.
Musical lovers from surrounding
cities have signified their intention of
attending this concert and hearing the
pipe organ installed in st. James
church about four years ago, and
which is conceded to be one of the
most modern and thoroughly equipped
organs in the state.
The proceeds of the concert will be
used in clearing off the remaining
debt on the organ.
