THRIFT THOUGHT.

Do YOU throw away "ham gravy
or bacon fat, Madam Housewife, be-
cause it is too greasy for ordinary
use?
Here is a way suggested by the
United States Department of ..gri-
culture to make it blend into soups
or gravies instead of floating as a
greasy layer on top:
Stir into each two tablespoons of
melted grease one-half tablespoon of
flour. The mixture will blend easily
into milk soups. stock soups, sauces,
or gravies and give an appetizing
flavor.

shootino With a Revolver.


 Very few people, even accomplished shots. know how Il revolver ought to be handled.
 Troops are taught in aiming never to look at the weapon at all. but to keep their eyes on the object to be struck. In quick firing. anl especially in shooting from horseback much bet ter results are obtained in this way.
 A man throwing stone does not look at his hand. Neither does bill Hard player sight along his cue. The same rules apply to the use of short weapons. Men have been trained to shoot excellently at a mark when their pistol sights were hidden.
 Nearly any one can sight a pistol cor rectly. the inaccuracy of the aim being due to the trembling of the hands be fore the trigger is pressed. By hiding the sight the temptation to hold too long is removed. and the first aim. gen. erally the most accurate, is preserved --PearsOn's.

The county commissioners of
st. Louis county have adopted a
resolution placing all road work
of the county under the contract
system hereafter. The work will
be done under the direction of R.
w. Acton, who has arrived from
st. Paul, and who will be known
as road supervisor. Mr.. Acton is
a member of the state engineering
force and his salary will be 50, 500
a year.
Acton will be expected to get re-
suits with the $1,225,00 in road
moneys to be expended. Day labor
will be done away with and the
contract system will govern all
road work which will be under
the supervision of experts. Roads
will be built with an idea of per-
manency and better roads will be
the aim. All new roads will be
planned, and blue prints made and
bids called for. 1t is the opinion
Of many that this will be the
only way to get better highways.

has shown results for every cent
expended and our roads are rec
ognized as among the best in the

INCREASING COST
Operating Cost Of St. Louis
County Schools Growing.

Education, like everything else,
has risen in price. While educa-
ton in this county is still free to
all who avail themselves of the ex-
cellent facilities provided for Sc
curing the same, the total costs
have materially advanced the past
few years. The Duluth Herald,
in speaking Of the subject, says
School costs in st. Louis county
have been steadily climbing year
by year. The point is now reached
where st. Louis county has ST.
600, 900 worth of school property
serving more than 10000 children
and requiring an annual expendit-
ure of more than $2,5OO,0OO for
maintenance of the system and for
new buildings.
The school costs for the 1915
16 school year, exclusive OF ex-
penditures for new buildings,
show an increase Of $147, 517.74
over the preceding school year.
Expenditures for 1915-1916, ex-
elusive of new buildings, were 3d.
351 1881, as compared with 3d.
302, S21.07 for the 1914-15 year.
Many factors are responsible
for the increase in cost. The
school population has increased
5000, the number of teachers has
been increased by 40 and start
ling advances have been made in
the cost of materials for school
use. Writing paper, which one
year ago sold in wholesale lots
from 33 cents to 81 cents a ream
now costs from $1.0O to $1.20, lead
pencils have been boosted about
Is per cent and the same is true
of steel pens and various other ar
ticles which the school room de-
mands.
Ten years ago when the enroll
ment in the schools throughout St.
Louis county was 20,682, or about
half the present number, school
costs, exclusive of new buildings,
amounted to $744,774.50, or one
third of what it costs to run the
schools today. During the school
year ending July 81, 1906, the an
nual report of the county school
