ALL GIRLS NOT COOKS.

Because one is a girl it does not nat
urally follow that one is an expert
cook. The way young women -gayly
walk into competition with the great
chefs of Americas fine hotels and
restaurants is appalling. The young
bride who firmly believes that her af-
lection for her. husband is going to
make her fingers deft at ma milling
pastries lightly has sad awakening
before her.
The only road to good cooking is
knowledge and practice. Often the
only knowledge housewife has of
buying. balancing, cooking and serv-
ing foods she has worked out for her
self by expensive experimenting at
home.
At the present high costs of material
it beh6oves every little lady who means
to be real help to study foods and
cookery points before starting on her
term of household management.
If she has plunged into the new life
! best call on the relia BILE producer of
quality foods to come to her rescue.
She can serve foods prepared by ex-
pert chefs in this way and be sure
she will never have a failure. At the
same time she will have leisure in
which to prepare herself to handle. the

SEASON AND ECONOMY.

Because the great producers, with
their wonderful service, have given us
the choice of every product of the
world at every season. it is not saying
that we must have foods out of season.
Our individual standards must be set
by our individual incomes. One would
think, to, read some newspaper ac-
counts that human life depended on
the Irish potato. When it comes right
down to body building materials the
potato does not do so much for us. after
all. Especially is its service small II
popular as rice as a substitute. In fact.
at a little dinner party given yesterday
the hostess announced that her potato
substitute was hominy patties The cpl
cure of the party remarked that ~ Ger
tainly was wrong to call the patties a
substitute for anything: that they were
delicious and perfectly good dish and

ance with the plans will eclipse any

During the simmer, also, a lot Of

c. campus, which will greatly enhance
the appearance of the school property,
and we understand that Mr.. Swap is
also going to do considerable improv-
ing to his grounds.

buildings and the splendid new dis

the most attractive in the city--not

SUFFICIENT REASON
FOR TESTING SEEDS
There Are Times When Farmer
Gets Seeds Of Poor Germina-
ton Without Knowing It.
(By w. r. CELEBRITY

This Is n subject which has received
great deal of attention from thought
full persons, but is still very little con-
sdered Wy the majority. Its impor-
lance cal not be overestimated for the
quality of the seed has great infiu-
ence on the yield of the crop.
Everyone likes to get bargains; and
many think that bargains and low
priced articles are one and the same
thing, while in the matter of seed low
prices and bargains cannot go together.
Take for instance turnlps. When we
see one man charging twice the price
quoted by another of course the higher
priced is usually for new and improved
varieties, but we often find difference
OF price for one variety. one man may
charge for a seed which terminates
only 30 per cent while another charges
half as much again for seed germinat-
ing 60 per cent while another charges
half ms much again for seed germi-
mating % per cent
From this a calculation can easily be
made as to the amount of seed re-
CURED for II is the low termination
that makes thick sowing a necessity.
The hlgh-prlced seed Is economical,
lnasmuch as so many more seed ger
inmate. When the farmer knows that
termination Is poor, he tries to insure
crop by thick sowing, but there are
times when he gets seeds of poor ger
mlnation without knowing IT, probably
paying the full price for good seed
This should be sufficient reason for
testing seed. Considering the number
Of purchases of seeds each year, there
are ridiculously small number of
tests made. | know of one instance
where samples tested comprised all the
various crops grown on the farm In
some crops the average Of samples
was reasonably good, but there were
miserably poor samples in practically
every crop.
This Is a matter we'll worth the at

The largely increased net income
which this farmer now receives from
