came in to undress the bed fer the
night.
Then 1 heard the front door close.
I hurried to the window. Everett was
walking rapidly away from the house.
Once 1 thought he looked back, but 1
couldn't be sure. My tears flowed
afresh. He knew I was unhappy, sick
and utterly miserable. but he had gone
out-Ieaving me alone without trying

ON THE SPUR
OF THE MOMENT
By ROY x NoULroN

We are charmed to learn from an
editorial printed in a metropolitan
newspaper that heat is unnecessary in
canning rhubarb. This is a subject
we have been worrying about for some
time. In fact. we have not been able
to think of anything else at times.
We have always been of the belief
that 1t was inhuman to take a nice
young, innocent rhubarb and submit
it to a terrific heat. as some house
wives have done. We have racked
our brain to find some way to kill
rhubarb without boiling it to death
1t has always seemed cruel and heart
less and not at all in line with the
ideals of our so-called civiliza ton
Rather than can rhubarb in this man
ner we have been content to let II live
and go its own way in peace.
Now that the metropolitan news
paper has discovered a way to can
rhubarb without submitting it to heat
in other words a way to give a pain
less death--we shall sleep easier; but
even with the new Improvement, we
shall never can any rhubarb. We
love it so we haven't the heart to eat
it.
NJ. x. T. says there is cause for opti-
mism in the fact that the high cost of
living has been reduced. Now that

nearly a year.
About a month and half ago he
