Costly LiVino,

Most of the high cost of living
comes from buying things we don't
need. If it wasn't for that we would
all live off the fat of the land, and the
rich and well-to-do would have enough
left to help other people and boost the
uplift of the city. If all the money
that society throws away on idle pleas
ures and needless things were redis-
tributed equftably among the people,
everybody would be living on lamb
chops, lima beans and pound cake !;
and the reflex action of such a situa-
ton would compensate the well-off for
the loss of their joyless pleasures. But
the old ideal of the university seems
still to influence the people-'never to
vex at the lands ridiculous misuse" +"
1t wouldn't cost q cent to have it 9th
erwise as long as our money goes in
to pleasures and trifles. But take each
individual life and cut off the foolish
and needless things, and such a one
would occupy the proud eminence of
a champion of nobler things.-Ohio

MUSIC NEED OF FIGHTING MEN /
BIare of Band Instruments Brings
Cheer to Troops and Is Just as
Necessary as Ammunition.

"The blare of the trombone, the
shrill note of the piccolo and the
drums blending with other band in
struments in a military organization
give cheer to the men with the guns
and is just as necessary as ammuni-
tion," says Charles H. Parsons of New
York. During the Spanish-American
war the tunes happily accepted were
those of the vaudeville stage, when
'There'll Be q Hot Time in the Old
Town Tonight was said to have led
troops to the capture of San Juan hill.
The old Civil war melodies having the
swing of march cadence were first of
all, Dixie probably used, at least
hummingly, by the soldiers of the
North, as those who followed the
Stars and Bars And it is worth while
to recall that Dixie was the most
popular of all the melodies strummed
in camp and sung in action of all the
old-time songs during the war of 1S9S
Canned music will give to the boys
at the front much of their entertain
ment evenings to come" added Mr..
Parsons. "The photographic records
will cheer many groups. And they
will have programs provided by the
stars of the Operatic world and other
entertainers who may not give to them
their cheer first hand"

Dexter Baldwin had climbed into his

'If were you, BARLEY, 1 believe I'd

their hands. I'll tell Smith-and Bob

Colonel Baldwin saw the company's
attorney, as soon as he reached Brew
ster. But Smith was not in his office,
and no one seemed to know where he
had gone. The colonel shrewdly sus-
pected that Miss Richlander was MAX

ITALY TO LIMIT DOMINATION
Can Gain No Advantage by Undue Ex-
pansion on Eastern Shores OF
Adriatic, Declares Writer.

1t is, of course, evident that Italy
has no advantage to gain from an un-
due expansion of her territorial hold
ings on the eastern shores of the Ad
riatic, Guglielmo Ferrero writes in the
Atlantic. Here the Italian population
lives only on the coast, or near it, and
for this reason Italy cannot spread
her domination far into the interior
without incurring the risk Of coming
into serious and severe conflict with
the subject Slavic population, or with
those Slavic states which will be in a
position to intervene in their defense.
Italian mastery of the eastern coast
would therefore be limited to a thin
littoral strip Of land, and one need not
be a great strategist to understand
what disadvantage it would be for
Italy to have to defend a long line of
frontier a few dozen kilometers from
the coast, behind which would lie a
vast hinterland occupied by people
seething with discomfort at being cut
off from the sea.
If Italy, then, does not wish to be
come involved in long and arduous
wars for the conquest of this hinter-
land, her purposes will be best served
by reducing to a minimum her terri
torial annexation on the farther shore
of the Adriatic.

serving. With a sprig of mint or
section of lemon the delicacy of the
draught is increased.
The juices of various berries make
delicious shrub and the fresh juice
added to water using a pint of juice
to two of water and adding sugar to
taste, chilled and served with cracked
ice is most refreshing.
Grape juice bottled the year before
is welcomed as a hot weather drink,
it may also be used in sherbets, ices
and various desserts and pudding
sauces.
Cocoa or chocolate sirup may be
made and kept for weeks in the ice
chest, a little added to a glass of cold
milk, with spoonful of cream or
sprinkling of cinnamon gives variety.
Such a drink is not only refreshing, it
is nOurishing. Iced coffee is another
popular drink, add a pint of black
coffee to a quart of cream, sweeten
to taste and serve in glasses with
whipped cream or freeze and serve in
glasses topped with whipped cream.
Iced tea which is recommended is
prepared from a mixture of black and
green tea, ice and plenty of water with
sugar and lemon to be added as it is
served. Raspberry shrub is one of
the delightful fruit juices which is
so much enjoyed. Cover berries with
vinegar, using four quarts of berries
and two quarts of good cider vinegar,
cover and let them stand for three
days in a cool place, then strain and
add four more quarts of berries, let
them stand three days and strain as
before. Then put the juice into pre-
| serving kettle with a pound of sugar
to each pint of juice, boil and skim,
after boiling five minutes it may be
pat into sterilized bottles and sealed.
Logan berries, blackberries or almost
any berry, good for fruit juice, may be
| treated in this manner.
Coffee is another delightful drink
served cold. Add whipped cream to
the coffee poured into a glass a third
full of ice and half filed with coffee.
This is also sweetened by each indi-
Vidual.

ground.

this indeed a fairyland party

SPAIN FULL OF MUSIC NOW
Bands of Hungarian Gypsies Fled
From France at Beginning of
War to Avoid Internment.

Spain is filed with music At near
ly any hour of night or day one can
hear the twanging and twinging of
musical instruments. The country is
Overrun by orchestras of Hungarian
gypsies.
These bands are among the most ia
nous in Europe. They usually are To-
Gated at Paris, Monte Carlo, Nice and
other centers of gay life. When the
war began these players, being Hun
garians, had to get out of France or
be interned as enemies. If they had
returned to Hungary they would have
had to put rifles on their shoulders in
place of viOlins. So they all migrated
into Spain, filling the country with
music.
Spain already had its share of gyp-
sizes, relics of the days of the Moors.
These greeted the newcomers with
open arms. They play together and
often hold grand entertainments, at
which one of the Hungarian gypsy
bands play, an Austrian-Polish gypsy
sings and a Spanish gypsy dances.
Pastor Imperio, the fiery queen of the
Spanish gypsies who married the king
of the bull fighters, Guyio, is one of
the star dancers.
1t is said the weird, Oriental strains
of the Eastern gypsies combining with
the wild toreador music of the Span
iards makes strange but pleasing
music. A few bars of American rag
time is introduced now and then to
and one-step. This medley of music is
heard everywhere, at entertainments
theaters, hotels, concert halls and even
in the streets, for Spain is crowded
with these wandering players.
