HOUSEWIVES CURE OWN MEAT
German Invention That Is Proving Of
Importance IN the FatherIand
Just Now.

In the present time of economic diff

are confronted with the problem Of &C
cumulating such stores of preserved
meat as possible. for that article of
food is scarce. 4 new housewife de-
vice has been invented. however,
which serves admirably TO this end.
The apparatus consists of a lac
quered cylinder, which is provided
with an interior dividing wall separat-
ing both halves of the cylinder. One
portion is designed TO hold the meat
to be smoked. while the other is for
the passage of smoke.
Underneath is n small Cylinder
which serves to admit the smoke This
is so constructed that the smoke must
first pass through the transmission
compartment and enter the smoking
compartment from above in order TO
return finally TO the fireplace That

Matty is more dearly beloved of New
Workers than the other members of the
big five. He has been the idol of
fans there since he began to show his
remarkable pitching skill as Giant
in 1901. He won 20 games that
year and Is in 1902, but after that he
did not score fewer than % victories
in any campaign up TO 1915. 1t was
in 1908 that Big Six won 81 games, his
best performance, while in 1904 he
pitched SO victories. Matty took part
in four worlds series-in 1905, 191 :,
1912 and 1913. His magnificent pitcn-
ing in the 1905 series enabled the
Giants to win three of their games
with the Athletics. In other words,
Matty practically beat the Mackmen

There was nobody but Rae in the
sumptuously furnished apartment
when Lester called. She was attired
in magnificent dress, which left an
indiStinct impression of gold and black
lace. There was such smile on her
face as might have been given any
ance-acquaintance.
''This is very charming. Mr.. Ron

II.

Six months later Rae passed out of
Testers life. In the brief letter that
she left for him she told him that she
would no longer make his life bur
den. She was going where she be-
longed, and she hoped that their
paths would never cross again.
The furious outcry against the mar
riage had not availed TO turn Lester
from his determination. Finally, his
parents had given their reluctant con-
sent and the young couple had set up
housekeeping in modest apartment
in the residential section. And then
their troubles began.
Testers old friends had cut him. His
parents, overcome by the blow, re-
ceived his wife only grudgingly into
their home, and when Rae was there
she saw Enthusiastically how they and
their other guests regarded her. Les
ter was solitary and morose. Rae
did all she could to brighten his life,
bat unavailingly.
And the longing for the old life be-
gan 10 stir in her. Lester had sug-
gested a grammar teacher. but the
girl, disguised with the treatment she
had received, obstinately refused.

The girl hesitated, and the fight
was won. She loved Lester, and at
twenty-four love seems the most pre-
ci0us thing in the world. Before they
parted at her door that evening she
had promised TO marry him.
