PARIS, Aug. 2s-The following o.
hcial report was issued by the war of
fee today:
What promised to be a night OF
violent bombardments of our lines
in the region of the Califor
ME plateau and Chevreaux, was
checked by the fire OF our artiI-
lery. The enemy found it impos-
sible to deliver a attack. We
penetrated certain German trench
es at Butte d. Souain, and we
dispersed reconnoitering parties
of the enemy at Mont Muret and
near Arracourt. We took some
prisoners.
On the Verdun front there was
considerable artillery activity
near Avocourt Wood and in the
Beaumont sector. Two surprise
attacks by the enemy on small
French posts near Vaux and LIE
Palameux resulted in complete
failure.
The night passed quietly on the
remainder OF The front.

Crane concluded she wasn't pretty, but
she had "the markings" Of good looks.
Ethel was not quite the untamed

penetrating the rather hard crust Of

ated from the high school, and had
been studying at an art academy, and
was once more back in Darlington.

her the aversion she felt toward Irwin

According TO figures compiled by the
Department Of Labor, the annual food
bill Of the average family has grown
from s332.30 in 1913 to S42554 at pres
emit, an increase of 1924 in less than
four years The average wage has
also increased, but probably not in the
same proportion. The food cost prob
lem is becoming Increasingly serious,
with, unfortunately, no indications OF
a downward tendency in the near flu
ture. The trend is more apt TO be up
ward. There are many ways, however,
in which every family can help in the
solution of its own problem, if it sets
about to do it. Home garden plots
will be more popular this year than in
many years past, and they can be made
exceedingly profitable in the saving
effected, if they are given proper at.
tention.
Families, too, should give more con.
sideration TO the relative food values
OF different articles OF consumption.
Many Of the highest priced foods are
less nourishing and no more palatable
than cheaper sorts. Economy in food
expenditures does not necessarily imply
stinted quantities or inferior qualities.
The house wife who studies relative
food values and applies the knowledge
thus gained will be surprised at the
savings she will be able to effect, and
that with no disparagement, in variety
or palatability, OF her table.

Miss Melissa Crane had lived alone

and more tolerant of ones fellow crea-

God-fearlng woman, living strictly

pened before then, as Melissa Crane
was all of thirty when she came there.
Old Hannah, who had gone faith
fully for years, once year to "clean
up" for Miss Crane, probably knew
more about that lady's affairs than
anyone else in Darlington. Oddly
enough, Miss Crane was even at times
confidential with her servitor perhaps
because she found she was like herself,
close-mouthed.

It was rather pathetic little figure
