pIacinu oysters in Salt Lake.

PIdCIhg OysIeTo TT OdIl EdNe'
Plans have been made to begin the
propagation of oysters in Bear River
bay, Salt lake, Utah, this spring. Ex-
periments and scientific study of con-
ditions have indicated, to the salts
faction of the state fish and game com
missioner, that the enterprise is a
thoroughly feasible one. Analysis has
shown that the percentage of salt in
the water is practically the same as
in ocean oyster beds.

WASTING Life.

You cannot waste time without
wasting life. No one is SO foolish as
not to realize the supreme value of
life, but great many fail to grasp
the fact that these little divisions of
life we call minutes are as truly pre-
ctous as tAa whole.

Knife Plaitings Good.

Knife plaitings are a very popular
trimming, for sheer summer frocks.
They are especially adapted to organ
dies or any striped materials that re-
quire little other trimming. These
plaitings are also good when used to
edge the surplice fronts of dress
that tie in the back in a big bow.

AS to the beaded bags, there are no
words to describe their glory and their
beauty, their intricacy of design and
charm of appearance. One of the
most beautiful designed by gifted
importer shows an entire surface of
beige-colored beads with three scarlet
blossoms at the bottom of the bag.
This note of color is repeated in the
Venetian red button which fastens the
bag and the red bracelet which holds
the beaded handle

Training in cheerfulness should be
regarded as one of the most important
features Of education. What is the
use of learning science and mathemat-

Iaundered Laces.

Dainty laces should be washed in
the following way if you would keep
their fresh, new look: Purchase 4.
cents worth of benzoline; this spirit
is highly inflammable, SO should be
kept away from artificial light or fire.
Take two basins and into each put
little of the benzoline. Dip the lace
in one, douse it up and down, then
squeeze gently and dip in the second
lot of benzoline; by then all the dirt
will have dropped out. Shake the lace;
it will dry in a few minutes and look
like new

 "The national kitchens will be work cd by the local authorities and an or der oiving formal start to he scheme will be issued at once. The government will provide 23 per cent more in the form of loan; the re- maining 30 per cent will be raised by the local authorities.
 "Thc basic scheme which we are suggesting is that of central sta tion with distribution dcpots. Food will be passed out to consumers only on tickets, so that their portions may be properly checked up against their regular food cards. Supplies will thus be strictly ratoncd.
 "The kitchens will be open to all classes. Ii is suggested that there may be some difficulty in getting wo- men of the upper classes to patronize them, but Fthink the reverse is more likely. One of the first central de pots to be organized should be the house of commons dining room.

ID CHANCE FOOD HABITS 0F THE
 BRITISH PEupLf
Government Institutes Blu reau to Have Charge of
 Food PreDaration.

Correspondence of Associated Press>
 London, February 2S.-"We are out to change the food habits of the British people,--an appalling task, but one in which think we shall succe,d,' said Sir. C. r. Spencer, the newly appointed director of national kitchens, in an interview with The Associated Press this week.
 French and American methods of cooking, which are regarded as far less wasteful of food than the Eng fish cookery, are to prevail in the new national kitchens. Twelve American chefs and twelve French chefs are coming to England tc supervise the daily menus and have general charge of the machinery Of food preparation.
 "fhe great thing is the elimination of waste" said the director, and for this purpose we are going into the organization eff commercial cooking on gigantic scale. Public baths and park buildings will be turned into kitchens, and town halls into dining halls; street cars and omnbuses will carry the finished product to thous- anGs of small distributing stations VdIlel Ill|6iS WILL ue liioN lieu lot everybody at the lowest possible price, and there will even be special meals invalid kitchens for those who need them.
 "We are determined that tie words too late shall not be merited so far as this department of the food prob lem is concerned. We shall need all the gocG will of ali the people to assist us, and we shall perhaps make some mistakes. But the country must have economy in food fuel, soap kitchen necessities, and labor and there must be adequate supplies of food at low price.
 "We shall. for one thing. place with in the reach of the working classes wholesome food instead of makeshift meals. We shall eliminate or mini mize their difficulties in buying, and shall release many women from the righteousness of domestic life to dc work of national importance. We ex- pect that the scheme will be a means of allaying, at least partially, some of the prevalent discomfort and dis content.
 "Individual cooking at individual homes is waste of labor, health and material. When you take a thousand homes with thousand fires and con- slider the waste of fuel, the multiple ity of operations, and the enormous waste, you must agree that if this could be concentrated in one huge kitchen, and a few stoves and some
