 The men price-fixer have an- nounced: 50 much, my dear woman. shall you pay for beefsteak and no more" The woman price-p has taken her market basket in hand and sallied forth for the beefsteak.

Would not the opinion of a united womanhood rally to the support of women price fixers? Would not the housewives go without rather than pay more than their own women representatives de- cree?
 We can hear someone: Certainly they would not.
 And yet here are some facts out of Houston, Texas.

 Cooking a Business
 Men cannot get along without a sys tenn in their offices or shops" she points out. Why should woman ex- pect to be able to successfully conduct a kitchen without adopting business methods?
 If women would only put a little system into their job they could do far more with only half the labor and wor- ry. Never again would they be seen tearing their hair and crying, Oh, what are we going to have for supper?'
 This woman who makes a business of housekeeping has very definite ideas on the present time, much worried about maid problems. She realizes the difficulties housekeepers have in secur- ing competent help, but thinks the fault is the housekeeper's more than the maids. She suggests that women in home have not made their service at tractive to girls who are capable of be- ing competent. It takes brains to cook well, or to market, or to have even partial charge of house, is Mrs. Will Hams experience.
 Eight Hour Day
 Servants should work on eight hour shifts" says Mrs Williams. Most women expect their maids to work from 6 a. m. to 9:30 p. m., and to be home at ten!' This is especially true in households where only one maid is kept. But the old days of the hired girl are over, and women will have to adjust themselves to the new condi- tions.
 Talk about educating the servants! Housewives need educating first. Or perhaps we should start with the hus- bands. The men have every conceiv- able kind of labor saving device for their work and operate a system, yet they rush home any old time and eX- pect the dinner to be served to them freshly cooked without moments de- lay

next made a thorough survey of the retail meat trade. Having completed a most painstaking study of the data secured, the committee proceeded then to compilation of list of fair meal prices. By fair they meant prices that would allow sizable profit to the retailer and yet keep the cost to the consumer within reason.
 The fair price list was posted on large blackboard in the city auditor ium and given publication in the newspapers. Women the town over were asked not to buy meat from any dealer who refused to abide by the fair list.
 What was the result? In less than no time the women of Houston were buying the highest priced porterhouse and sirloin steaks for 25 cents pound. The price had been 40 and 45 cents. Other prices fell accordingly. Over night the bottom dropped out of the high cost of meat. The Housewives League plans now to extend its activities to the lowering ! of the price of other foods.
 Who says women don't hld together? | The women of Houston stood together | so firmly that certain retailers have | agreed to abide by the prices the com mittee sets. Of course, the names of l these dealers are offered as a part of the price list.

 men will be solved right only when women themselves come out of the
 kitchen and address themselves to the solving.

American Girls Wasting Energy
 In Love Making

Charging that American girls waste too much energy in love affairs, Dr. Tomo Insuvo of Tokio the famous Japanese woman physician. declared at a conference of women physicians in the east that the girls of the United States have a worn and tired look. She planes it largely on loving too much.
 The midget physicians contention ran afoul much opposition on the part or the majority of those present Dr. kristine Munsch of Norway maintain ing that love affairs will keep girls young-that love alone renders secure the bloom of youth and beauty to women.
 Dr. Mabel Mcdonald of this city be- lieves that Dr. Insuvo is right only in the fact that American girls spend too much energy in everythoing they do
 Tn this country girls never take time to do anything but rush from one thing to another" she said.
 While the local. physician condemns waste of energy she is a firm believer in loving.
 Love is a natural and normal state" declared the physician yesterday. life is not worth living without love"
 pr. Mcdonald does not believe love necessarily means marriage-in fact she believes that there would be few CT unhappy marriages if the head ruled rather than the heart.
 Tt is foolish to marry just because one is in love. Physical attraction should not be the cause of marriage the head should rule"
 pr. Mcdonald believes love goes where it is sent. She says the first love affairs are in the kindergartens where the little boy and girl sweet hearts have their first real sentiments. Through all ages she declares the nor nal boy and girl will have their love affairs.

My Love Comes Back to Me From the
 Valley of Death


 All the lights in the room had been put out by the storm. The trouble had been at the power plant, probably, for the current came on again with a sudden hard glare. Bob's eyelids quivered beneath it. He wakened slowly, confusedly, as If from a deep sleep, and his wondering glance met mine. I knew that our gaze meant happiness or lifelong sorrow for me. and for him the joy of a normal life again, or the misery of permanent in sanity.
 Could my soul. calling to Bob's, bring him back to a knowledge of our love?
 For months Bob's eyes had been an index of his condition. The iris had looked tense and opaque, the pupil small while his nerves were at their worst I held him in my arms, waited. wordless, while I watched his pupils widen.
 Heaven or hell, for each of us, de- pended upon the outcome of the first long look.
 We two seemed alone in the uni verse. At length Bob held up a trembling hand and laid it softly on my hair, then he touched my cheek, drew his fingers down the length of my arm, and clasped my hand in his own. And still 1 held his eyes with mine

"JaneT" His lips shaped the word. scarcely heard it.
 Bob" My husband!" I said with soft emphasis. Vaguely I felt that word too much and he would be "a world away'-lost forever in dreams of battlefields, once. more a member of the sad company of shell-shocked victims of the war.
 Of course I realized that the cleo tric bolt from the sky following the telephone wire, had relieved some mysterious pressure upon his brain and nerves, and jared his mental gears into place.
 Was that miraculous contact to last but a moment? Or could I hold him and keep him quiet and steady until he was conscious of himself in rela tion to me until his soul and his body were in harmony again? Instinctively, made the elemental appeal, the wo-ld-old appeal of the woman alone with her mate, and un- afraid.
 I kissed him--kept my lips to his until at last-his arms went around me and he drew me to him.
 And then, only, was I sure of him. sure that he was saved. Then for the | III Sl lAllltf Qlu NtbNuit u Nill uSL down the strange barrier which the war had raised between us.
 We seemed to emerge like shadows from a ghost world where we had been | imprisoned.
 Don't try to understand, all at once, darling" I said.
 q don't want to understand any thing. I just want to stay here, Jane, and rest forever!" he replied pillow | ing his head upon my heart. You're not curious-?"
 "Only happy. And afraid it won't last. You see, it was only a minute ago that I was hearing a wounded man scream-in no-man's- -land-and then 1 saw you, and I thought I must be the man who was dying and that you were part of my dying vision. And then your lips-kiss me again, | Janei"
 It was long time before Bob and I discovered that there was any world outside that little room. The storm had walled its way across the sky be- fore we remembered that the whole tribe of Lorimer would soon be coming in search of us.

NEW YORK.-The blouse sketched today has two distinctive features: the vest and the fluted frills.
 Groups of three tucks are used be- tween each frill save on the round col lar. Here tucked material forms the collar proper which is finished with a double row of frills. It is to be noted that the tucks and frills do not extend to the bottom of the vest Enough space is left plain for the use of line of buttons in contrasting color. This gives the tailored touch to an other wise elaborate waist without which no daytime wearing apparel is quite the thing" this season.
 Buttons, covered with the garment material, or fancier affairs, in glass, metal, pearl, jet, etc, are very good this winter. Many rows of them are seen on the one-piece frocks, while the more severe tailored suits show them in the most unexpected places. Lines of buttons over the hips, across or up and down the back, trim many of the coats.

NEW YORK; just couldn't help having this little Russian blouse sketched for the sake of the girls. It is so pretty and was designed to serve so many uses.
 Of course it's keynote is simplicity. It is made of seal brown tricollette. The round neck is finished with four rows of soutache braid in the same shade. The slit kirtle repeats the de- sign as to the snugly fitting cuffs. The blouse is caught in at the waistline by a soft six-inch sash of self material.
 This blouse is particularly adapted to the needs of the college girl because it can be used for classroom wear preceding a hurried trip to town for the matinee.
 The Russian blouse and even the more informal smock are very good this winter. Never, not even during the summer gardening season, have so many been shown in the shops. They range from the tailored model sketched above to elaborate affairs of beaded georgette. Every girl should have at least one in her winter wardrobe.

Foods Which
 Overcome Acidity

(By Lorne A. Summers. Director of Gymnasium, Armour and Company
 There is no doubt that large num- Der of the diseases to which man is subject are traceable to the consump- ton of an excessive amount of acid forming foods, or, they may also be caused by the lack of the proper amount of alkaline foods. This is manifested in affections such as berri- berri, gout. rheumatism, catarrh, skin troubles, etc.
 It is generally recognized that the use of fresh vegetables and fruits, combined with the other foods, are the means of preventing this condition.
 It will be noticed in the classified. tion chart that lemon juice and orange juice are classified as alkaline in their reaction; while it is well for one 10 learn that a fruit-acid is not an acid former, since its ash has an alkaline reaction.
 Many people have confused the acids and have gone so far ats to advise peo- pie who were subject to rheumatism and gout not to eat tomatoes and fruits, as in the case of hyperacidity

HOW COTTON IS oMgRcEe,zEnr

The process by which cotton is mercerized" or given a lustrous finish IS somewhat recent. having been in- vented in 1S44 by John Mercer.
 By treating cotton fibers first with alkah. then submitting it to tension or pulling, then rinsing with water tbe fiber first swelled. strengthened out then gained greatly in both strength and luster.
 The treatment also improved inc textiles ability to take dye.
 Mercerized cotton is more valuable mat ordinary cotton and will natural " command higher price. It is DOS siole 10 achieve an effect somewhat ilke mercerization by heavy calender ing or starching, but the lustrous ef- feet is removed by laundering. In buying mercerized cotton the pur- chaser should make sure the merceriz- ing Is real-not mere calendering.

states have taken effective action
both III the direction of long time
loans on land and of short time
loans on personal security. This
is by no means the end; ia fact,
we are just laying a broad founda-
ton for farm credit, upon which
to build during the coming gener-
alton.
This future development of farm
finances in America must have two
principal and equally important
parts. One of these is educational
and the other is Legislative. In the
first place, farmers (not few of
those who are rich, or at least we'll
ro-do, but all farmers down to the
poorest and most renote) must get
the best possible understanding of
the credit agencies which are avail
able and of the manner in which
he can avail himself of their ser
vices. Where farmers are getting
hard treatment at the hands of the
banker today, it is because they do
not know how to bargain with the
bank on equal terms, or, in many
cases, because their business prac-
tices are so slovenly or so unwise
that handling their business is
costly and dangerous undertaking,
for which, the banker must charge
a high rate.
If rural credits are to be put on
the soundest and most economical
basis, our Agricultural Extension
forces must have in the field some
we'll trained business advisors in
addition to their present corps of
soil experts and breeding special
lists; county agents must be thor
oughly informed on the financial
as we'll as the scientific phases of
farming. Let every father who
sends his boy to an agricultural
school insist that he get, while
there, some sound business train
ing, which he can use every day in
the business of farming. even if he
does not get in his college course
quite SO much laboratory tech
nique, which he will never use.
When the rank and file of farmers
get such a business training, our
credit agencies will expand natu-
rally and safely. We will not need
to worry about credit legislation; it
will take care of itself. Co-opera-
tive organization will then be easy
and the farmers business efficient
and therefore prosperous
