Whether a young woman is COM
PEELED, after marriage, to count the
pennies or not, it is certainly cedit-
able if she knows how if necessity
should arise. And the average
American girl does not usually marry
a man who is so well to do that there
is not need of economy: The wife
may manage on the husbands in
come but with a little care in ex-
penditure. she could not only man
age, but have a balance left over for
savings bank account. ~
The principle on which this new
school is being run can not help but
be successful, and the methods used
there, although they are probably
partially used at other such schools,
should be emphasized to a greater
degree at all of them in order that
the education of young women along
these lines should not be superficial,
but of real practical value Mandan

BEER NOT FOOD, BUT POISON

Baron Won Liebig states: $50 far as
enriching the blood is concerned, the
flour that will lie on the point of a
knife affords more nourishment than
four measures of the best Bavarian
beer" even the benefit that might be
derived from the small amount of food
lin beer is counteracted by the alco-
;hol and lupulin which is always pres
;ent in the beverage. There is also
danger of poisons entering the beer
from the rotting process of mailing.
Food supplies are to easily and cheap
ly obtained for any one to fool him
self into drinking beer for food. Beer
is always a poison.

FRIEN DsHIP

Have you a friend. one true, strong
friend,
Whose heart beats ever warm:
Whose hand on yours holds fast its
grip,
However fierce life's storm:
Whose smile makes sunshine brighter
seem,
Whose CHEEKY confidence assures
refugee from despair?
Have you a friend-one old. tried,
friend,
Whom time the more endears,
To memory's inward vision, with
The passing of the years?
Whose kindness is as constant as
The light of Gods own day:
Whose thoughts are with you, though
himself
Is half a world away?
If such friend you have in truth,
Then you are rich indeed,
Although of things men count as
wealth
You seem in sorest need:
And richer still in treasure that
Increases to life's end.
If you unto some brother man
Can prove that perfect friend.

A Sensible Curriculum

Out in California there has been a
new course in home economics start
ed at one of the Universities which
is based on such a sensible plan that
it should succeed. Every young
woman who matriculates for the
course is given not only instruction
in the culinary department, but how
to manage the expenses of that de-
partment on a certain allowance.
The great trouble with the aver
age domestic science school is that it
teaches the young women how to
cook without a thought of expense,
and consequently such a course is Of
questionable value because it does
not safeguard extravaganza. But
with the teaching of how to elimi-
nate cost in the preparation of food.
with the knowledge of the other lit
tie economies of the home, the do
nestle science school can be made Of
extreme value to the future homes Of
America.

All of these articles are unusual, time
ly and interesting.

Following closely upon the British crisis which after all apparently leaves politics uppermost in the management of the war. there is a demand in France for the reorganization of the army. for changes in the high commands. There is moreover a demand that the war office in the future take the people it's confidence and tell the truth There may be in keeping back the truth if thereby the enemy may be kept the dark; it may be proper deceive the people if that is necessary deceive the enemy. But it is foolish thing to at tempt preserve the morale of nation by deceivng it, for ultimately the deception be exposed The reports of the French office have had other object than that of foolng the French people and American money lenders.
