What Happened in Alberta

How are friends of the saloon going to argue against the facts that come out of the pro- vince of Alberta, Canada, of the decrease in crime, in pov- erty, in drunkenness since the saloons were closed there? The statistics are issued under direction of the attorney gen. eral and the liquor act inspec- tor of the province and are in- disputable.

 Grand Canyon-Julius F. Stone who was in this country in the early days spent several days recently at Grand Canyon. MT. Stone came here young man in search of health. He helped Pete Barry put up the log hotel at Grand View. After the Kolb Brothers made their trip through the Canyon, MT.

GARLAND PRAIRIE ITEMS

MT. Claude Perry and broth CT, Roy have returned home after spending the winter on the Cataract with their horses.
 MT. J. D. Tannehill spent Sunday morning with MT. H. s. Perry. ,, ..
 MT. c. w. Howe made trip to Parks Monday after a load of lumber with which he ex- poets to build sheds for his horses.
 The snow on the Prairie is almost gone and the roads are in very bad condition at pres ent. However, travelling will be good in a few days.
 The farmers expect to begin turning the sod within another week. Of course it will be inn possible to blow in the old field until they have dried out more, but the experienced farmer realizes the value of breaking new land and adding to his farm at this time of the year. Raw land put in at this season and properly worked will yield almost as much as old land. This fact has been proven thru actual experience by success full farmers of the Prairie.
 Mrs. Eva B. Spoford and daughter Miss Asa who have been the house guests of Mrs. Jessie Shelley for the past month returned home Tuesday. They perched upon a trunk on the rear end of a sled with their Mexican driver and pack of dogs presented a very pictur- esque sight. Miss Spofford is very fond of dogs and the more she has around the better pleased she seems to be, always speaking to them in very af- fectionate phrases.
 Miss Stella Perry fumigated and cleaned up the school house Saturday. Mrs. Spofford was on hand to see the job properly done. It is hoped the building will be better kept this season than it has hereto fore.

HOW TO SELECT FOOD
Getting the most Food for
 Ones Money

Washington, Mar.-The fol lowing suggestions on getting the most food for ones money are from United States depart ment of Agriculture Farmers Bulletin sos, "How to Select Foods."
 Use cereals (four,t meal, cereal breakfast foods, etc.) freely, taking pains to prepare them with great care and to vary the kind used from day to day if necessary to keep people from tiring of them. Remember that a quart of whole milk a day for each child, to be used as a beverage and in cookery is not too much.
 Plan carefully both in buy ing and in serving.
 Do not be ashamed to plan closely. Thrift in food means providing enough food, neither too little nor too much.
 Notice carefully how much of such staples as flour, sugar, milk, cooking fat, etc., is used each week for a month, and see if there are any ways of cutting down the quantity needed.
 Buy nonperishable material in quantities if better prices can be secured and there is a good storage place in the home. Neighbors can sometimes club together to get lower rates.
 Estimate carefully how much of any material will be needed before laying in a supply, then see that none is wasted by care less handling.
 Try to make the dishes ser ved of such size that there will be enough to satisfy the ap- petite of the family and no un- necessary table and plate waste.
 Do not be above noticing whether anything usable is thrown away with the garbage, which always shows how thrif- tily food is used in a household.
 Many inexpensive materials can be made attractive and the diet can be pleasantly varied by a wise use of different flaw brings.
 "Finicky" tastes in food often prevent the use of many valu- able materials which might be the means of saving money.
 Good food habits are an i'm portant part of personal hy- giene and thrift. Children get | such habits by having suitable of suitable foods ser ved to them and then being ex- pected to eat what is set before them.
 True economy lies not only in buying wisely but also in making the fullest possible use of what is bought.

The Pendergast Vivisec- tion bill, which aims to permit authorized medical schools to buy cats and dogs from city pounds for use in scientific re- search, is receiving favorable consideration in the California legislature. It is with the re- striction, however, that all of the cats and dogs so used must be placed under proper anaes- thesia, before vivisection is be- gun. The fact that this clause is held necessary, makes it ap- pear that the students are con- sidered a cold blooded lot.
