Il believe the downfall of most men
and women can be traced TO some de-
feet in the home. Every blackleg gam
bier, every drunkard rolling and stag
gering and vomiting and spluttering
and spewing, every woman of the red
light district, was once pure as the
morning dew. No drunkard ever in
tended to be drunkard.
Broken homes and broken lives
seem to go hand in hand; they are
inseparably connected. Many times
sons and daughters are brought up in
idleness and unrestrained in the ex-
penditure of their money, rapidly ac-
quiring eXtrayagant habits; they
figure in escapades that scandalize
society, in dulge in fast horses, gam
bling men and, women, and the diver
sions of the idle. racing, lust and
passions; and at last they go to a
premature grave and are remembered
only for the dissolute lives they led.
THE women are silly. frivolous, ex-
travagant; they have thrown to the
winds all modesty, prudence, religion
and the virtues that are so attractive
in women, and have allowed them,
selves to be flattered, cajoled and BAN
boozled by a lot of Tilted jays with
cracked characters and they turn
their homes into a third rate gambling
den and booze joint.

NEW WAY TO CUT LIVING COST
Peel Potatoes With Safety Razors, as
Milwaukee Women Do.

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 16.-The fact
that far less vegetable waste is being
received at the Milwaukee municipal
garbage crematory now than at any
time since the plant was opened was
attributed today in a statement by c.
o. Davis. superintendent of the crem
atory. to the high price of foodstuffs.
THE waste in the American kitchen
has been appalling and the present
situation shows what can be done
when economy is the first considera-
tion," Mr. Davis said. Judging from
thin potato peelings observed at the
crematory l suspect that the tubers
are being peeled with safety razors

Milk Bottle Holder.

may be broken by being blown of q
window ledge by the wind. BY means
of this holder, recently patented by
a Palouse (Wash.) man, the milk bot
tie is securely held in place. A metal
lie plate is securely hinged onto the
upper end of the holder to cover the
cap and hold y securely in place. This,
besides keeping the dog or cats from
clawing the cap out to get to the milk,
prevents dirt from settling on the cap
to cause annoyance and keeping it from
falling into the bottle and its contents
when opened. A continuous piece Of
wire is used in making the main por-
tion Of the holder This wire is so
welded together smoothly that there
are no rough edges to catch and tear
the hand or clothing. The wire makes
q loop beneath the bottom Of the bot
tie so that it may act as sort Of
cushion to prevent breaking in case
of being set down hard. The double
band about the center of the bottle
prevents it being struck against the
cement curb or stone when set down
by the carrier.

II the average farmer realized the

stations In the United States, he

It is claimed that average poultry
manure consists as follows: Water,
66 per cent; nitrogen, to 8 per cent;
phosphoric acid, 2 to per cent; pot
ash, 8 to 10 per cent. This analysis
would place the value OF every ton

Treat With Vaselfne.

Even in well.ventilated, comfortable
houses, it is difficult to keep the long

keep the comb and wattles creased
wi tn vaseline.
II the mischief is already done, do
not take the bird to warm room
until the frost Is out. Apply cold wa

from the monotonous task and the
children change Of food. It wes
pleasant all around This is an idea
which might be used In many places
where children need to carry lunches.
Custards, when we'll baked, make 9
most desirable food. With a sandwich
and few nuts and an apple, this will
prove a most satisfying meal.
Paper napkins are 80 inexpensive
that one should keep q supply on hand
to use for lining the box or basket
and for napkins. Each sandwich,
pickle, egg or piece Of cake should be
wrapped carefully. Brown bread. rye,
bran, cornmeal and baking powder
biscuits will furnish variety. A little
surprise to vary the usual is always
pleasing to child. A piece Of candy,
. fig or date, hidden away in a cor.
ner will always delight them.
Peanut butter is enjoyed (when not
made too comRon) as sandwich fill
ing. There are 80 many kinds Of salad
filings that there need never be one
used too often to tire OF 1t.
Brown bread spread with butter and
well seasoned cottage cheese N which
q bit of onion juice is placed for sea-
soning, and tablespoonful Of chopped
nuts is another good filling.
Candy, Of course, Is always liked by
the little people, but should be used
sparingly. A piece Of candy eaten
after each meal will not be undesir-
able, but fig or date will satisfy the
sweet tooth and be much more whole
some.
Dates, nuts and 8 little cream mixed
together, the ingredients chopped fine
before adding the cream, makes q
most dainty sandwich.
Fruit should never be omitted from
the lunch, as it is one Of the foods in
dispensable to wellbalanced lunch.
The dainty, careful packing Of lunch
is a most important means OF keeping
children we'll, happy and able to enjoy
their food.
