and thought she bought them cheap, and her economical soul was exul-
 tant; but when she found she had fewer cans than. if she had bought sound fruit, and the scraps were use- less. for peach butter" and in her anxiety to get them canned before they spoiled she worked herself sick
 and let the syrup boil until it crys- tellized,A she realized that there are
 some bargains that are not bargains. When wave of economy strikes the household, the wife generally de-
 cides to save on the table, which is all very well, provided she knows
 how. But to buy cheap meats and
 stale vegetables may be the poores scrt of economy.
 There are some cuts of beef as
 neulishing as porterhouse at one third less the cost; but to buy bone and gristle for beef is to deceive
 yourself. If the family eats no fat,
 buy lean cuts. Pork chops can be
 had with practically no fat or bone
 at all. These are the loin chops.
 Rump roast Is all meat and no bone
 and goes long wax because there is no waste. In the matter of cloth ing costly economy can be practiced.
 Two pairs of two dollar shoes will
 not last half as long as one pair of four dollar ones. Bingham costs
 more than calico, but it wears longer
 and looks better. It costs just as
 much to make a dress of calico as of glngham and the only difference is the. small saving in material cost,
 which is overbalanced by the short
 wear. A remnant is not cheap un-
 less you can use it.
 1t may pay a woman to do her own
 laundry, but if she breaks her health 1t is costly washing. You can save money by doing without seating-at least cutting it down to stopping the craving for food. You can eat candy just before dinner and not want soup and meat; but that is saving money to hire doctor. True economy does consist in doing without some things
 needless luxuries, but not in doing without the necessities of life. There are many ways to save, but look out that in saving at the spigot you don't forget the bunghole.

TALKS ON THRIFT. SAVING. AT THE SPIGOT AND WASTING AT THE BUNGHOLE.

+i L t.I ..
 There is an economy that saves at the pigot and 4wastes at the .bunghole. Tc practice economy in little things and forget it in the larger ones is no economy at all. To walk mile in order to save five cents car fare nay not be good policy, for the time may be worth many times the saving. II has been figured out that it does not pay carpenter to istoop down to pick up nail,' for the time he wastes would buy two nails. You often sec men and hoys in the big city dashing in front of autos,. dodging trolley cars and taking desperate chances with their lives to save a few mos ments time, and then stop for ten or fifteen minutes to watch some gentle man in a window advertise corn cure. Be consistent.
 1t never pays to buy something simply Ahecause it is cheap. If you do not need it, it is dear at any price The woman who is eager for bargains Sand buys simply { because Fshe cannot resist the tsmptation to get bargain has swiAdled herself. True value consists in getting tho maximum return { for the money spent. , a.,s as. |, Y, : {. Lest summer "a woman bought six baskets of peaches that were spotted

WEALTH MAY NO LONGER DEFY
 THE LAW.

Although six syofathe directors or fol msr directors of the New Haven railway system were acquitted and tia jury was unable to agree as to the guilt or innocence uf the remain ing five tried on charges of criminal conspiracy, the fact that these men oi millions were brought before the court and arraigned as the most low ly person accused of crime indicates that possession of great wealth does not rake for immunity from crimi- nal prosecution.
 Eight of the eleven men are worth more than million. The others are wealthy. as shown by the following estimate:
 William Rockefeller, $25O, ,000. .Q0o; Charles M. Pratt. $25,co0,Ooo; Lewis Cass Ledyard. $1O,OO0.0O0; Frederick Erewstsr, $5.0OO,OOO: Robert W.

WONDER STORY OF cOTTNNsEED

pavement.
 WONDER STORY OF COTTONSEED. A little. more than quarter Of a century ago the ;cottonseed of the
 South was practically a burden of
 Waste, and the planters were wonder ing If some good genius could not
 produce 2 cctton without seeds. Now,
 thanks to the oil mills that trans
 from the seed into valuable products,
 the South's crop of cottonseed is
 wtrth $15e,OoO,ooo year, according ts Commerce and Finance.
 Today the seed of cotton finds It's
 way into the flame that lights mans
 way in many places. into the. food he
 eats, the clothes he wears, the soap
 wlth which he cleanses himself. the 1medicine with which he cures his Eallments, the paper on which he
 writes, the film with which
 hr takes his photographs, the nour- 3ishment he gives to the soil to raise
 hls crops and even into the powder ard shot with which he kills man.
 kind, adds Commerce and Finance. | A hundred lines of industry find ]einployment for the sesd, most of hich was burned or cast into
 raydnes or rivers in former days. A
 hundred other lines of industry probably will find use for it in the! |Naxt decade or two.,
 Its oil alone last season was valued at more than $S0,00O,O00. It has done much to bring pros- perity to the South, and, incidentally ,| it has proven Of great worth to the| North and to Sll parts of the earth.
 Linters, meal and hulls are the threel principal products of cottonseed, but from these are made something near a hundred articles of commerce.
 From the linters we get batting, l wadding and stuffing materials for pads, cushions, comforts, horse col lars and upholstery. Absorbent cot ton is also made from the linters, and ii is used in the manufacture of hats and is mixed with lambs wool forl fleecelined underwear. From thel low-grade yarns of the linters we also get lamp wicks, twine, rope and carpets. Writing paper, guncotton, ceating for metals, artificial leather, watsrproofing, celluloid, collodion, varnishss, artificial silk and photo graph films are some of the com mcdities in the manufacture of which linters are used.
 From the hulls of the ,cottonseed come iced, fertilizer, fuel, packing, hcusehold utensils and fiber. The fiber is used for stuffing horse col lars, a basis for explosives, for eel lulose and for paper stock.
 From cottonseed cake and meal we] get fertilizers, dyestuffs, feed ana flour. The oil that comes from cottonseed lis the most valuable product. It is used largely in cooking and from 1t are made cosmetics, cooking oil, salad 1o!l and many forms of compound lard. IL is also used as an emulsion for medical purposes and as substitute for sweet oil. The oil enters into the \ manufacture of putty, washing pow 5der, soap, candle pitch, distilled fat
 acids, roofing tar, linoleum, insulat- inG materials. oilcloth. waterproofing,
 paint base, cotton rubber and artifi- cial upholstering.
 These are not all of the uses to
 which the products of the cottonseed are put, but they serve to show the
 wonderful transformation from an economic waste to an industry that Is
 worth s15o,0oO.ooo year to the lSouth:
