How to Be GRACIOUS even " your Cup
board Fails You.
A well known writer on household
subjects tells an anecdotc Illustrating
what she called perfect hospitality
She had gone to call on two old friends
an old lady and her middle aged daugh
ter, who We're in reduced circum-
stances, and quite uncOnsciously the
caller had overstayed the luncheon
hour. The old lady asked her in the
most charming way to partake of their
lunch, saying quite simply. $40 stay
and share our crackers and cheese.
and the caller found that the lunch In
reality consisted Of very little more.
They had tea to drink and a Welsh
rabbit on toast, but It was served on
exquisite napery, and the toast was
cut IN the daihtiest slices. and the china
was delicacy itself And the simple
meal was served without apology and
a dignihed but generous hospitality
which made 1t far more acceptable
than many Il more elegant repast.
We all have had similar experiences
with callers arriving at lunch time, but
not all Of rs have arisen to the occa
sion so beautifully.
Nowadays. however, there is no ex
cuse except poverty for unprepared
ness in the food line. With the help OF
canned fish, spaghetti, meats. beans
vegetables and soups to exc out food

to greet her friends with a fair show
Of cordial hospitality, untInged by a
fear lest there may not be enough to

S,c;ft Asks Sales
men to Work For
Increased Supplies

Louis L. Swift. president of Swift
6 Co., has addressed to local statesmen
a communication outlining suggestions
for the conservation Of food supplies,
and asking their cooperation in their
travels to spread the gospel of increas-
ed production, elimination of waste,
and conservation of food supplies.
Personal marketing, and the revival
of the old market basket habit will
cut down the high cost of living, says
Mr.. Swift This will be done by elimi-
mating the cost of delivery and by pay
ing cash for goods. Mr.. Swift also ad-
vises the use of oleomargarine to keep
butter prices down.
Overcoming the habit of waste, pro-
noting better and intensive gardening
and farming, and saving the calves of
beef breeds are urged. All vacant land
should be cultivated, and all employees
of Swift & Co., who enlist for farm
service are assured that they may re-
turn to their work with ths company
when the harvest season is over.
In referring to the price of staples
Mr. Swift says: Prices of necessities
are now at high level and there is no
occasion for advance in price. or seri-
Gus food shortage. If every one will CO.
operate for 100 per cent production aud

CLUB DisBANDs FOR YEAR.
Members of Twentieth Century Club
Accept Recommendations Of Board.

Twenty-Five members of the Twen-
tieth Century Club attended the meet
ing held Monday afternoon at the Ii
brary and decided to accept the recon-
mendation of the clubs board that the
club disband for one year on account
Of the war. The plan suggested was
that the dues might be spent for char
liable purposes. and for that reason a
committee composed of Mrs. j. NJ.
Parker ard Mrs.. aS2:iI Id ~'rc::ce
was chosen to see that all members
take out a membership in the local
Red Cross chapter. The members also
decided 10 hold their annual meeting
in 1918 on the last Tuesday Of April
as in years past.
While the club members feel that
the war should not interfere with
regular business channels, and that
business, as far as possible, should be
continued as before, they consider that
the money spent for club dues, which
goes to pay for talent to provide en-
is for luxury that can
be well dispensed with at this time.
