How to Cut Out 1879 Lumber
Waste and 4O% Labor Waste
The Aladdin System of Construction has reduced
lumber waste to less than 29d. This in saving
to the home builder amount that approximately
brings the cost of home built this year what it
would have cost before the war; Because the Aladdin
System of Construction prepares all the lumber in
mills ready to be nailed in place. you pay the pres
ent high wages and still keep the labor where it
was before the war. One will do in six days with
Aladdin materials what it requires ten days
to accomplish without Aladdins System. The Beau
tful Aladdin Catalog explains this very completely

Section of Nation, Peace
Delegation Says.
LONG STATEMENT ISSUED

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, Friday. May 2.-In declaring
it's disappointment with the decision
of the council of three regarding Kiao-
chow, the Chinest delegation to the
peace conference in its statement to-
day said that the decision gives Japan
practically control of northern China.
The statement of the delegation dis
closed that early in 1917 Great Britain
and France agreed to support the
Japanese claim to German rights in
shantung at the peace conference. 1t
SAYS that China knew nothing of the
agreements and was not told of them
even when she joined in the war in
August, 1917. 1t is declared that
China's declaration of war abrogated
all treaties and agreements with Ger
many and that German rights auto
matically reverted to China.

In Paris there are very good restau-

Dutch Have Solved Problem.

One of these days Americans will
take leaf out of the Rotterdam
book. The Dutchman is an economist,
but no one in Europe lives better
than he does. He is famous for it.
His cheese. his butter, his meats are
of the very best. Not even a Rus
sian believes more devoutly in the
duty that each man owes himself
when at the table than the Dutch
man does. But he is likewise care
full to the point of penuriousness.
He tried community kitchens and
found they were not practical. Then
he tried variant and it has worked.
Neighborhood restaurants sent to the
homes of clients perfectly cooked
dinners locked in insulated contain
ers. The dinner box is carried into
the dining room, the lid opened, and
the carrier goes away. Then the
housewife serves the meal, item by

First comes the soup. piping hot

and what not. each similarly pro-

cold water. another holds the tea or
coffee and a vacuum dish carries the
ice cream or pudding or whatever
may have been selected as dessert.
When the meal is over the man
comes from the restaurant to pack
up the soiled dishes and carry the
box away. The cost is no more than
II the family had gone to restaur-
ant. The service has been perfect.
One can see the long. man-motored
trucks on which these dinner boxes
are carried trundling about most

The experiment has worked perfectly
there. Why does not some one try
1t in New York?

NEW YORK, May THE fat man
at the next table told his friends TO
pipe her. The little one," said he.
She represents the Statue of Liberty
or something. A peach"
They agreed with him. The girls
danced down the restaurant floor. A
black haired man wearing silk hat
was in their midst. singing near
Irish song. A little later he respond
ed with a ditty about Dixie. Dixie
and Killarney are sure-f1re hits. NO
one knows why.
II happen to know sump'n about
her" said the fat man at the next
table. II used to sell goods to her
husband"
The tide of gold and silver tinsel
and fame -colored silk and pink flesh
and youthful curves swept down the
floor again. The fat man clapped his
hands until one of the dancers threw
him a rose. He fairly glowed Others

Las week when I was here said
the fat man, "she danced down the

when she got down to this end she
slipped and fell. A man jumped out
of his chair and picked her up.
'I do hope YOU were not hurt

took another drink. The funny thing
is that he was her husband-and the

Better Food Shops in New York.

There is an almost unknown reStau-
rateur in New York who saw before
any one else that the public would
patroniZe a food shop where the food
was good, clean and we'll cooked and
in which the prices bore some rela-
tion to the cost. He started such
place. By and by others followed.
Now the town is full of them.
Good business men began operating
strings" OF restaurants. after the
American fashion of multiplication.
Some one saw the same thing in
London years ago. There food is un-
doubtedly cheaper than in New York.
Even under stress of wartime con-
ditions one can live more cheaply in
London than in New York. The food
is good. too, but il lacks the appe-
tizing quality of the New York chow.
The British cook, is a sturdy person,
but unimaginative. You do not find
hairs in the dishes as you do in
France. but neither do you find flavor.
But the London restaurants that are
managed in strings lack the quality
of the string restaurants in New
York. They are neither so clean nor
so comfortable. Either is noisy
enough, but there is a bit more "claSs"
on this side of the water London
pastries, too. are among the three
saddest things in the world. The
two others don't matter
