ALFALFA FINE, CHEAP FOOD
In answer to your questions regard
ing the New York health expert
ments, would like to say 1 don't
agree. They say six pounds Of pOta-
toes for a week. l could eat them
myself, and I am no gluttOn. And
one pound of butter ditto.
Most Americans are meat eaters.
If that is INDUCED in $3.50 doesn't
last long. But if it could be done 1
would not be in favor Of boosting it,
because the cost Of living is the main
factor in regulating wages. The
cheaper we can live the lower the
wage scale.
But should some of my dear broth
ers favor this cheap living craze I'll
give them a menu that has the N. Y.
experts beaten forty ways.
For breakfast a large bowl Of corn
meal. This may scratch the mouth,
but it will stick to the ribs.
Dinner, half pound of sailed cod
fish and one quart Of water. The
filling effect of this is amazing.
Supper, half pound of dried applies
and two quarts of water. For taking
the slack out of the stomach this
meal is unsurpassed.
But should you desire a light lunch,
an armfuI of alfalfa is very desirable,
as it contain an abundance of water
and much other nOurishment of
which l know nOthing.-MaH Egan.

POTATOES and BUTTER.

POTATOES AND BUTTER-The
N. Y. health board says one pound
of butter and six pounds of potatoes
are enough for a week for a family
of five.
Ours is a family of five and we can
devOur six pounds of potatoes every
supper time. These people who say
we must take one potato, make ten
slices of it and give two slices to each
at the table in the working mans
home are the ones who eat three or
four eggs and other substantial
things for breakfast every morning.
We are told 60 eat pTunes-pa and
ma get the pTUnes and the children

would like to see a sample of the
people who claim they can live on
this fare. l weigh 1876 pounds and
the rest of my family is in the best
of health, but never on $3.50 a week.

EVOLUTION IN LIGHTS.

When L was a child-we had only can
dies to read by, or to illuminate the par
lors and dining rooms-with a bit in
the candlestick and an extinguisher to
put over the smoking wick. after you
were resting in bed at night. 1 have
dim recollection of some loud smelling
train oil lamps, in barns and stables, but
we were all devoted to candles! The
incest were made of sperm and sperm
candles made a beautiful nearby light,
especially on a dainty decorated supper
table-along with real Iris linen napery
and glassware and china. For
common uses, we moulded tai
low candles Sometimes we add
ed some beeswax to harden
the tallow-and candle molds were as
necessary in our domestic economy, as
are kerosene lamps in present day light
ing. We had regular spells for. candle
making. If we were lazy or hurried.
we moulded a few at .nightfall to meet
an exingency. We had nothing else, for
rich and poor, unless we tinkered with d
a clear liquid, called burning fiuid,'
that was handled with extreme care In
specially prepared lamps.
1 never saw a drop of kerosene oil I'M
til some years after the Civil war We
were delighted with the kerosene ar
arrangement, except when it exploded
and played havoc! We had equipped
ourselves with modern lamps and kero-
sene, when a neighbours young lady
daughter attempted to fill her lamp
while the wick was burning, and was
carried to the cemetery inside of thirty
six hours. My careful spouse, broke
up our lamp supply and we returned to
candies. When fireproof oil came along
We ventured again with kerosene this
time to stay.
Gas was used in towns and cities
until the wonderful electric light sys-
tenn was installed in modern dwellings
and public places.
All this have seen in my four score
years. 1t was long step from tallow
dip to a modern electric light. This is
one of the wonders of my day. -

poor young man felt Gained of his
fears She was home. She was taking
off her things and she was alone. Ii
was bitter cold in the street, so he re-
turned to his club in chastened mood
calling himself names and glad that he
owed Lois an apology. He did not quite
dare to face her with it just yet He
would watch her another day.
David had seen Lois divest herself
of hat and coat, but had been too easily
treasured, for she exchanged them for
a fur hat and coat, in the pocket of
which she had slipped Freneau's let
ters.
Judge Freeman, arriving fifteen min
utes after David had gone, rang the
bell and was admitted by Lois butler,
who told him that she had left the house
on foot a few moments before. The
butler did not knew where she had gone
or when she would return. The judge
dashed off, leaving the butler to shake
his head over the scandalous proceed
ipgs of his household
Gideon. Trask, the bargman, had in
finite patience in pursuit of his re-
venge, but so far he had been
unrewarded. Unable to run down Fro
neau elsewhere, he picked on the Pier
pont Stafford home as the most likely
and also the most fitting place to accost
Freneau in New York. He stood by the
iron-barred gate. watching, until a po-
Iiceman drove him away. Then he cross
ed Riverside drive to the Soldiers and
Sailors monument and resumed more
distant watch over the house.
Freneau was indeed there; he had
.ccme to bid Gloria good-by. He told
her he was leaving on a midnight train
Gloria was reclining on the chaise
Tongue, exquisitely attired in an ivory
colored lace peignoir, the bands of white
swansdown which trimmed it no whittier
than her own fair skin. Her beautiful
hair, drawn lightly into knot at the
top of her little head, made her look more
like a child playing at being grownup
than she had a right to look with all
her twenty-one years.
Freneau had paused a moment at the
door when he entered to enjoy the charm
Of her, then he crossed to her side with
all a lovers eagerness. Her eyes beam
ed on him with tenderness as she well
coined him and gave him her lips.
How much do you love me-" she
aueried, measuring an infinitesimaI space
with her tiny hands. that much?''-
then, stretching her two arms wide and
that much?"
Freneau came within the circle of her
arms and, holding her to him, exclaim-
ed: 1.-THE width of the whole world Is
not big enough to measure my love for
you" And he meant it.
Releasing her tenderly TO her pillows
on the couch, he continued: "I've had
such a wonderful day on the market.

THE STREET CAR STRIKE IN At
LANTA

GANTA.
l was in the city of Atlanta when the
strikers made their first demonstration
on Saturday night, September 80. Next
morning 1 was more than anxious to get
a street car ride to the depot, as l was
then due at home. Fortunately for me
the street cars carried me to the depot
at s o'clock a. M, and then, unfortu-
nately for the churchgoers, they hung
up at IL a. m. 1t was a blank condi-
ton of mind and body TO be so much
disappointed when you know that you
are absolutely helpless, and likely to
continue to be vexed and perpleXed in
other ways for an indefinite period.
1t has made the sane and sober folks
in Atlanta sit up and take notice. They
have a vision of new troubles undream-
ed OF heretofore. The mayor-elect has
spoken: This sort of thing must be
corrected-not TO be tolerated for mo-
ment." The old mayor says it must be
stopped, and large number of infiuen-
tial citizens meet at stated hour every
morning and pass warlike resolutions.
And every night the street cars return
to the barns at IL p. m! And the tired
people-men, women and children-foot
1t, And the people who are expected
to trade with Atlanta merchants post
pone their trading until the street cars
can go and come to suit their conven-
fence. Nobody cares to stop in Atlanta
They prefer to pass through, or other
wise stay at home.
The stoppage of the street cars is
bad, but the stoppage of business is
worse. Some few can visit their friends
for few nights, but ii will not do for
a constancy. My lords lady and Judy

Gloria l cleaned up a pile. By Jove,
it was thrilling. If 1 can only keep this
up you won't have to be ashamed of
your poor husband. And, thank God,
shall have you to work for. Just see
what I've brought my little mascot with
the first spoils of war" He tossed a
leather case into her lap.
Opening two shrinelike doors, Gloria
gurgIed in delight at the string of
rearls within. She made him clasp
them about her throat. Then she leaned
forward to thank him with kiss; she
saw the corner Of a large sealed en-
velope in his inner pocket. She pulled
it forth impudently.
Whats this? More business, or love
letters?"
A dull notified red began to surge up
Freneaus face She spoke so much
truer than she knew. 1t was the packet
of letters he was taking to Lois. He
had pocketed them to make sure that
he should not leave them behind.
Just business documents connected
with my trip" he said, as naturally as
he could. Gloria accepted the explana-
ton in perfect faith. 1t did not occur
to her to suspect him of any deceit.
She put the envelope back in his pocket,
making a little gesture of disgust: ugh!
hate your old business! How long
must you be away?"
lone whole week, dearest little love-"
he murmured brokenly. I'm afraid it
will never pass for me, but take good
care of your precious self, and get those
wonderful roses back in your cheeks.
I will write and telegraph you every
day"
Then his face darkened and he hung
mis- head before her as he added: 81
can't give you any address to write to
me, as 1 shall be jumping about so, but
I'll telephone you"
When the hour grew late and the
nurse began to frown he told her he
must leave. She stood up sadly and
they chung together for a last embrace.
He felt that he could not let her go.
The cup of his happiness was cup of
bitterness filled with the dregs of his
own perfidy.

begin at once to strengthen the
forces of religion and make them
dominant over all other things.
The influence of piety must prevail
especially in our educational insti-
tutions. They are the centers from
which power goes forth. They are
the power houses of our civilization,
and If they generate power which
is lawless, we must prepare our
selves for all the dreadful conse-'
quences which follow the exertion
of such power.
The experiment Of the utter seculari-
alton of education has never been tried
by any other nation than ours. The
ancient nations of Asia and Europe
never dreamed of separating educa-
s ton from religion, and the founders
of the American colonies entertain
\ no such wild ideas. The first coll
leges and universities in the United
4 States were one and all religious
institutions. On the cornerstone OF
