ECONOMICAL PROVISIONS.

Dear Soct0l Corner Friends: Do not think there is no such. thing as econ Omy is every thing is dear. Somehow lne foods with least nourishment always cost most money. and often the foods we like do not agree with us. that make one ill no matter how much they are liked or you will have doc torsA bills added to the cost of living
 A 36-cent turn bier of peanut-butter has more sustenance in it than two dollars worth of beefsteais
 pound of 65 cent butter has more nutriment in it than three pounds of beefsteak at 65 cents pound.
 Many people split their meat bill in to the meat by these recipes:
 Stuffed Flank Stsak-Purchase one and one-ihird pounds of fresh flank steak. Wipe the meat clean with damp cloth. and lay the meat out flat Moisten one and one half cups of breadcrumbs with hot skim milk add ing one teaspoon of salt and one fourth teaspoon of pepper. Mix in one large onion chopped fine and a little chopped parsley. Spread the filling evenly over the steak about an inch thick, and roll up the meat with the grain. Turn in the ends of the steak and tie the roll with clean twine. Dice an onion, one and one half cups of car rot and three cups of turnips Put the
 
 the meat roll in the center and cover the ysgetab abIes with water. Cover the pan and bake in 2 slow oven until the meat is tender.
 Meat Balls and Rice-Mix three cups of fresh chopped meat with three cups of boiled rice, season with salt and pepper and fry in small cakes as for hamburg steak If necessary to form the balls and add one beaten egg to the meat and rice mixture. Serve plain or with tomato sauce. Scalloped Meat and Maearoni-Chop an onion very fine and brown it in little fat in the frying pan. Scar and brown two cups chopped meat in the hot fat. seasoning it with salt and pepper. Line creased dish with boiled macaroni and fill the center with. meat Pour over the meat two cups of stewed tomatoes and bake ali tor one hour in moderate oven. Gold chopped meat may be used instead of fresh meat if desired. A few experiments along these lines will prove profitable.

ADORRAHAM.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Adobra- ham was one good man and expressed his individuality as just himself and nobody else--no aping or following after other ideas.
 The role of an old bachelor would have suited him better; he always seemed to have grouch against women. although his other half was a true heipmate and ready to assist when little extra help was needed outside. Fresh air was best for health, cutting the grass around the house, palling weeds for the pig and clsaning the pigpen was all for good exercise at times.
 To some extent he was for wo- mems rights. as he always allowed his wife to he the first one up fin the morning. encouraged her in the habit 1t was SO comfortable to have a warm room to dress in. reminding her to hang his pants over a chair in front of the oven.
 There were spells when he had falling out with work, not that there was any great distances maybe a quarter ar an inch; plenty of time and no hurry was one of hi- notices. If he could only have been born with a silver spoon in his mouth how charm. ing life would have been.

KITCHEN sTANDARps.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: More and more it dawns on the feminine mind that in the planning of her own workshop, the kitchen. woman should have more of a voice than is allotted her by the average man ar chitect.
 And more and more woman is de- manding that thoEe blue print plans of the new home shall include some of her ideals Of a kitchen-learned by experience and not by architectural theories
 For generations women have dis cussed among themselves the quality of an ideal kitchen until now there is respectfully long list of things q kitchen should be- to please the mod ern housewife and meet the require uces ir as homemaking workshop and food laboratory.
 [. Summarized. these requirements are:
 Not too much floor space-1o or 12 feet square is adequate.
 Washable walls.
 Few pieces of furniture. and those carefully selected and easily cleaned. The stove table, sink and cupboards so arranged as to save steps; that is. so that the routes most used in pre- parIng meals are as short as possible.
 A refrigerator raised above the floor enough to make it's use easy without stooping If possible the ice chamber of the refrigerator should open from the outside to provide for putting in the ice without entering the kitchen,
 good floor. hardwood and spot proof of covered 1inoIeum.
 Oil gas electric stoves to give off as little unnecessary heat as possi- ble and with yentilatin arrange ment to carry off cooking odors.
 Plenty of angle hooks above the stove, sink and mixing table for the hanging of much used utensils.
 Good casters on all movable furni- ture.
 Plenty of shelves of proper height and width, some open. most of them enclosed.
 A high stool, to permit sitting at work recurring much time.
 A small rolling table with shelves and small wheels to make it easily movable about the kitchen and din- ing room.

The demand of Baron Fisher. of Kilverstone, former first sea lord, for the virtual scrapping the navy, half of which Is already obsolete, on the ground that a big navy is not re- quired now that Germany has been defeated, has been printed in al! the newspapers here and has caused a great sensation. Naval experts who have been consulted consider that Baron Fishers proposal is much too drastic and fears are expressed that there is imminent a great fight be- tween the advocates of a small and a big navy. Sir Percy Scott( who, as Rear Admiral, was formerly in com mand of the first cruiser squadron. considers that the larger battleship is doomed and that money devoted to building these ships could be better employed in other ways. He does not, however, agree with all of Baron Fish CTS conclusions

l 100000 Soldiers Fought 47 Days in Mouse
 Argonne.

The nations net debt as a result of the war is about S22, 2,OO0,O 100000, or about $1,o0O for every family, which finally must be paid by the toll of the family, for no.matter who pays it di- Tectly, in the end it comes to the con- sumer; and with interest added it will amount to more than S2,OO0, nearer s3,0O0, by the time it is paid.
 What was the object of all this sac rifce of life and treasure?
 What do we owe to the men who went over and risked their all?
 What do we owe to the dead on the fields of France?
 What do we owe those who came back maimed for life?
 What do we owe to those who gave generously of wealth and time?
 What do we owe humanity?
 Do we owe them an assured peace for the future. or do we owe them endless pickering?
 Those who sacrificed over there cry out that such a sacrifice shall never be forced on humanity again.
 Those who suffered in the trenches would have themselves, their children and their children's children spared from such an ordeal again.
 They know the fierceness of the death-dealing instruments devised by man: they know that another world confia grafton, carried on with the knowledge gained in this, would all but wipe out humanity.
 We all know that before this war we were told that great armaments worked for peace, and we know now that that was not true; that they meant death to mankind
 We have learned that peace can be maintained throughout the world only through an intelligent understanding among the nations.
 And the voices of those who have gone and those who remain cry out for such an understanding.
 That understanding, written into the League of Nations. is being ac- cepted in Europe.
 Our Constitution gives the United States Senators the power to accept or reject the understanding accepted by other nations and before this gov- ernment for action.
 Each Senator has a right to use his own judgment. to come to his own conclusion. in the matter, but he has no right to push aside Humanity's cry. and to base that judgment, to ( come to that conclusion, on the lines of party expediencv.
 There was no partisanship in the fight on the French front; there was no partisanship in the buying of Lib erty bonds or giving to patriotic funds; there should be no partisan ship in the contest in the United States Senate; but, unfortunately, there is.

London, Sept 5.-The campaign for administrative economy is gain ing in momentum daily. Andrew Bon ar Law, government leader in the House of Commons, and J. Austin Chapaberlain. Chancellor of the exe- chequer, came to London today to hold a meeting of the cabinet which was expected to take up this sub ject. There is much talk of a possibili- ty that Mn. Chamberlain may present a new interim budget but this is con- sidered quite improbable. Answering press attacks upon MT. Bonar Law, Premier Lloyd George has sent a mes sage to newspapers here declaring it would bs grossly unfair to attri- bute continued war expenditures to any particular member of the gov ernment.
