REDUCE THE COST OF LIVING

Z All meats are expensive, there nat
urally is still a need for the practice of
economy in the preparation of meat
dishes in the average household.
Recognizing this fact and to further
help an important industry, the Inter-
national Live Stock Exposition en-
gagged the services of some of the
foremost instructors in "Home Econo-
mics" for this years. event, who will
give daily demonstrations in one of
the main halls of the international
Amphitheatre during the first week
in December, teaching how the cheap
CT cuts of beef, pork, and mutton may
be made IS palatable and nutritious
as the higher priced roasts and steaks.
BY the application of conservation
along these lines, the cost of living
may, without imposing inconvenience
or hardship, be not only materially re-
duced, but the American housewives
can also, thereby, alleviate the needs
Of our fellow beings across the Allan

prepare the food in the American
homes. These expert demonstrators
further give valuable hints on food
combinations, which. if adopted, will
serve to improve the health, happiness
and welfare of our people. 1t is mere

demonstrations are so arranged that

NO ALLIANCE
 WITH VATICAN

Paris, July 3-The appointment by the French government of Catholic Bishops for Metz and Strasbourg fur nished the subject for an animated de- bate on the governments policy to- ward the Vatican in the Chamber of Deputies yesterday.
 M. Demonzi charged that the gov- ernment had engaged in official diplo- macy with the Vatican and Jean Bon declared the law separating church and state had been violated.
 Stephen Pichon, Foreign Minister. explained that the policy of the gov ernment contemplated the upholding of the condordat in Alsace and LOT raine and that there was a true sep aration of church and state in the rest of France. He said the bishops were appointed for Metz and Stras- bourg because the clergy, which had given many proofs of friendly senti- ments toward France, had asked that French bishops succeed the German incumbents. Critics of the govern ment declared they were satisfied with M. Pichon's explanations.

A LITTLE ELBOW ROOM

Good friends don't crowd so very tight, There's room enough for two, Keep in mind that I've the right,
 To live as we'll as you. You're rich and strong, poor and weak But think you I presume, When only this poor boon I seek
 A little elbow room. 'Tis such as you the rich and strong, If you had but the will Could give the weak a lift along,
 And help him up the hill. But no-you jostle, crowd and drive,
 You storm, you fret and fume, Are you the only man alive
 In want of elbow room?
