How TO Live cheapIv.

There is at least one family In Eng
land which can snap its fingers at Lord
Rhondda and whose members are not
to be found in food queues. The head
of the family recently wrote to a Lon
don newspaper that himself, wife and
family of four have lived for IA weeks
wholly ON raw vegetable salads made
Of grated turnips, carrots, parsnips
beets, cabbages, etc., together with
fruit salads, toast and porridge, and
says they are all much stronger and
healthier as a result. They use neither
tea nor coffee and grow their own vege
tables, and so may be regarded as the

Gets ain wolf.

J. w. Fountain, rancher of the Nc
Kenzie Valley, living near Walterville,
Ore, recently brought to Eugene the
pelt Of huge black wolf trapped by
him.
He caught it in two traps, set close
to each other, and the animal had both
broken and would have escaped soon
had Mr.. Fountain not arrived when he
did. There are several of these ami
mails in that vicinity, and the ranchers
have been losing cattle and sheep as a
result of their depredations.
This wolf was one of the largest
ever seen in this county, measuring
over eight feet from tip to tip.

a fifteen-year-o bov employed at the
Chalmers Service Station, Amsterdam
Avenue and 167th Street, of the weekly

The robbery occurred just before noon,
a short distance from the service sta

highwaymen made their escape through
crowded Amsterdam Avenue in a taxi
cab which had followed them slowly
along the street
The boy had been sent to the bank
by H. Stewart, manager of the station,
and was returning with the money in
small satchel. 1t was all in bills of
small denomination.
A short distance east of Amsterdam
the story told the police bv the boy,
soldier stepped in front of him and de-
manded that he hand over the satchel
containing the money. At the same
time a man whom he described as be-
ing young and we'll dressed, came up
close in back of him and said in low
voice: "Gve it to that soldier or I'll
shoot you"
The youngster who. the police say,
is of exemplary character and is
vouched for by his employers, did as
he was told. No sooner had the soldier
obtained possession of the money than
he and the man in citizens dress
jumped into the taxicab and were
whirled away.
AS soon as the cab disappeared
around a corner the boy started on a
run for the service station. The police

The scarcity of meat has called into

of beef and veal, produced under gov
ernment control and sold at the fixed
price of O.22 per lb.
The shortage Of leather is respon-
s1ble for the introduction of standard

for this consideration, we ask them to
give us henceforth, in the interest of
all, the means to prosecute all those
concerned in such misdealings."
