The enrolment in the Home Eco

more equipment has to be secured for
the Sewing and Cooking Laboratories.
The pupils in the Cooking class have
started their work in making cOnserves,
jams, jellies, canning of vegetables and
fruits. The first two weeks the time
was given to the study of physiology in
relation to cookery and digestions and
the study of foods. The Sophomore

garment.

year is on different schedule from last
year There is place ON each teachers
program for the nurses visit. So far,
this time has been taken for class in
spection, which hereafter will be de-
voted to teaching Hygiene and Good
Health. Gradually doctors and others
who have interested themselves in the
prevention of illness, have come to
realize that to keep people healthy dur
ing their more active years, and to pre-
vent invalids in later life. it is necessary
to teach right habits Of living to the

posted the following: For Sale:- Nice
cooking apples at sc h., fresh beans
and peas, fresh cream Csc pint. Name
of seller with address and telephone
number were given so that any one de-
string these could telephone for them.
These bulletin boards were placed in
various parts of the city and were free
for any one to use, to bring buyer and
seller nearer together and help reduce
the High Cost of Living.
If the curb market is a good thing in
Madison it would be just as good here.
Bushels and bushels of apples go to
waste every year. Dealers will not buy
them for fear they will spoil on their
hands. The curb market and bulletin
boards would bring those apples and
many other things, before the people
who would buy them, but who cannot
buy the high priced fruit which is
shipped in perhaps from New York,
while our own Wisconsin apples are
rotting under the trees. or being eaten
up by pigs because no one will buy them.
Dealers say it does not pay to handle
such stuff any way because so much of
it spoils. At the curb market, it is sold
at once to the consumer while in per-
feet condition and it certainly helped
greatly to reduce living expenses for
that crowd of satisfied consumers.

THOUGHTS OF READERS
TO REDUCE THE COST OF
LIVING

To the Editor of The Democrat: On
a recent trip through several towns of
the state, we noticed particularly the
methods used to lower the cost of
living.
In Madison, which has City market,
the prices became so unreasonable that
a number of prominent women obtained
permission from the city to open a curb
market, where farmers or others having
food stuffs to sell, might sell from their
wagon to the consumer. Two ladies
were appointed to be present each day
and their buty was to see that prices
were as low or lower than at the stores
and that full weight or measure was
given. All goods offered must be in
good condition. Any one attempting to
over charge, or to take advantage in
any way, was denied the privilege of
again selling at the curb.
The wagons were there at S O'clock
in the morning, and by the crowd Of
olAkOuS bUyVAos AZ WoC Oo0AAy oOO4 th0G
they considered the curb market very
good thing.
Among the things we saw sold were
fresh meat, and chickens at six cents
per pound less than at meat markets.
Milk, cream, cheese, cottage cheese.
and butter milk sold for less than from
the milk man. Fresh berries at 35 cents
per quart, and at the stores they were
As cents per quart.
New and old potatoes and all kinds of
vegetables, fresh from the farms were
very quickly disposed of.
At 10 o'clock every wagon and truck
was empty; large quantities of fresh
food In perfect condition having been
disposed Of and all selling at lower than
market prices.
When driving about the city we also
noticed bulletin boards on which was

FARMERS SHIPPING LIVE STOCK

The cooperative live stock shipping
association formed last summer for the
shipping of all kinds of live stock is
still making good the hope of its pros
motors.
Two car loads Of hogs, cattle and
calves are being shipped this Wednes-
morning.
New patrons are added each time a
shipment is made.
More than one hundred farmers have
taken advantage of the facilities OF
sending one animal the same as though
the entire car belonged to each indi-

The season of heavy shipping is now
about to begin and the outlook is very
favorable for the producer to obtain
the highest price for what he has TO

and easily preventable causes.
Regrettable as this needless waste of
property is, sadder still is Wisconsin's
record of lives lost and bodily injuries
in fires.
According to newspaper accounts, in
