Truly, our granams were the

Under the present social conven-
tions, the wife is the purchasing
and she should, therefore, take an
active interest in the establishing
and maintaining Of home. She
should prepare herself by careful
study to get full value for each cent
spent and how to prepare appetiz-
ing meals.
Paying out the good cash earned
by the husband entities him to know
that, for the money spent, he is re-
ceiving full value in a home and
food. The making out of house
hold budget will help materially to-
ward this end and will prevent
spending the money upon the hitor-

Know Your Markets

The food purchased must be of
good quality, clean and fair in price.
If no canning and preserving are
done at home woman should
speedily become acquainted with the
various brands of canned goods.
Lists may be easily obtained which
will help the housewife to differen-
tiate between the various brands.
Never order food by the telephone,
saying send up can of this or that.
Instead order by the brand name.
1t is your duty to demand a good
article at fair price and then see
that you receive it.
Dishonest tradesmen soon know
that the housewife who weighs and
measures her food at home and who
will not pay for short weight or
measure will find that it will spell
loss for them to sell her poor or in
ferior goods.
Require the butcher to send home
with the meat all the bits of fat
and trimmings. You have paid for
this, so why not utilize it? By plac-
ing these trimmings in the saucepan
and covering with cold water, and
cooking them slowly over the sim
mering burner for one and a half
hours and then straining into a
bowl where they can cool, and by
then removing the fat which forms
on the top, you will find that you
will have fat which can be used
for shortening or making of soap.

Clock Tower of Jerusalem.

Since the occupation of the holy
city of Jerusalem by the British it
is gradually becoming more western
lied For the first time in its history
its streets are properly cleaned and
1t has been given a fire brigade SER
vice and now an efficient water-sup-
ply. Hitherto its inhabitants de-
pended upon few wells and water
collected in overhead clsterns. The
telephone, too, has been introduced.
It's most striking Improvement
though it Is one that was carried out
just prior to the war-was the cree
ton of a fine clock tower at the Jaffa
gate. II is built of white stone obtained
from Solomons quarries, of which the
temple was constructed. The clock,
which was supplied by London
matchmaker shows both European and
Arabic time. Opposite the tower
drinking fountain has beeh erected,
and the roadway which leads through
the old walls into the city at this
point has been entirely rebuilt.

"You bet he is--really good looking

the nattering smile. All day the same
thing was repeated as friends entered
the bank
He was real tickled' with himself

handed the package Of photographs to

Vary Your Garden.

Remember that plant diseases and
insects thrive where they have become
established. Therefore, gardeners this
year should take care not to place the
individual crops where the same crops
grew last year. Varying the arrange
ment Of the garden reduces the danger
from disease and insects The same
vegetables in the same place each year
exhaust certain food elements, and re-
duced yields are sure to result.

Heaven help the man who magines
he can dodge enemies by trying to
please everybody. If such an individual
ever succeeds, pass him over this way
that we may have one look at his NOR
tai remains ere he vanishes away, for
surely this earth cannot be his abiding
place. Now we do not infer that one
should be going through this world
trying to find beams to knock and
thump his head against, diSputing every
mans opinion, fighting and elbowing
and crowding all who differ from him.
That, again, is another extreme. Other
people have their opinions, so have you.
Don't fall into the error OF supposing
they will respect you more for turning
your coat every day, to match the color
of theirs. Wear your own clothes in
spite of wind and weather, storms and
sunshine. 1t costs The irresolute ten
times the trouble to wind, and shuttle,
and twist than it does honest manly in
dependence to stand.
