WHEN YOU BUY ONE POUND
OF MEAT AT A TIME,

Not long ago a young married
friend complained to me that she
Just couldn't make her food bud
get for the week stretch seven
days" I love to have young
housekeepers bring me their
troubles; it's such fun TO sit down
with them and say Lets see
where the leaks are in your house
keeping"
And there were such big leaks
in this little brides housekeeping
As we went over her grocer's and
butchers paid order Slips, | found
that she was buying too many big
pieces of meat why don't you
sometimes buy n pound of this or
a pound of that--instead of roast
after roast?" asked.
She sat rocking with worried
frown II didn't think ii would
be right" she replied, John eats
so much meat, l don't think a
mere pound of any kind of meat,
done in any way, would satisfy
him, Actually, he can eat half a
roast at a sitting!"
pointed out to her that of
course he could--but that he
didn't always need all the meat
he ate. / advised her to have q
generous sized roast every Sunday
and let him eat it to his heart q
content, but on most of the other
days of the week to buy one
pound of meat or fish at a time
and make it go for one meal. Then
l gave her a sheaf of recipes
which call for no more than q
pound and a half of fish or meat,
and sent her home to put my ad-
vice to the test.
A week later I telephoned her
to ask her how her budget was
holding out-and found that she
had managed to save 40 cents out
of it in the past seven days, in
stead of far exceeding it, and that
her husband felt as well nourisned
as ever, / believe that many

But as no dog barked, even

Uncle Wiggily peered around the
corner of the big stone. Then he
saw, sitting on the edge of the
mole, q large brown animal, COW

Uncle Wiggily thought it might
be Grandpa Whackum, the old
gentleman beaver. But q look at
this animals tail showed that he
was not a beaver.

FISIIIN'.

fiShtN. tHf,
Fishin' teaches me a lot!
There's no sure an certain spot
Where I'll always catch a mess,
Have to hunt it, more or less; .
Sometimes strike it right away,
And there'n come another day
When I'll have to work like sin
Fore l get a big one in;
Change the bait, an move along,
Where the currents not so strong
Or the wind can't get a sweep
Or the pools aren't quite so deep,
Till at last / chance to light
On a place where they will bite.
Fshin' teaches me to wait
Patiently an try my bait;
Lets me know many day
can't always have my way,
Things aren't goin' to suit my whim,
I must stick with patience grim
If | know that l am right
Till at last they start to bite;
Times I've hooked beauty, and
Worked a half an hour to land
Him alongside O. the boat,
Then he's spit it from his throat,
Jumped the hook an got away
But that didn't spoil my day. .
Learned right then from Mister Fish
] can't always have my wish;
Things won't go the way l choose,
There are times I'm bound to lose.
Times I'm just about TO win,
An l think the prize is in
Reach o. me- somehow find
That the fates have changed their mind.
So ii is with life | guess
Mixed with failure an success,
Gain and loss are bound to fall
In proportions to us all;
Patient we must work an plan
Just like every fisherman.

NEW PLAN FOR
 ARMY RECRUITING
 IS INAUGURATED

Washington, Feb. 7.-To stimulate regular army recruiting arr arouse local interest, the War Department has issued to all recruiting officers over the country a schedule for all specific regiments. Through this method of distribution, officials believe each state will take a personal inter est in the regiments to which it's men are assigned.
 The framework of a divisional or ganization on geographical lines is also set up. New England will make up one division, New York compose another, and similarly the whole country is covered.
 Infantry and field artillery regi- ments will be so aI1ocated as to best identify eah regiment with a sep arate state, according to the plan. Where the number of regiments is greater or less than the number of state comprising the divisional area, regiment may be made up of re- cruits from more than one state.
 The regiments to which recruits from each state will go are as fol- lows in part:
 Infantry recurits from Massachu- setts to the 36th at Camp Devens; from Connecticut to the 43rd at Canu Lee, Va. Field Artillery recruits from the six states will go to the 1st Field artillery at Fort Sill, Okla; coast ar tillery to the 42nd coast artillery al Camp Eustis, Va; Cavalry to the 3rd at Fort Ethan Allen, Vt

BIG CONVENTION
 OF COPPER MASKS"
 HUGE SUCCESS

Paris, Feb. 7.-The Society of the Men with the Copper Masks has just held it's first annual convention at the Val de Grace Military Hospital Paris. The society consists of French soldiers, suffering from facial wounds who have been provided with a set Cross.
 The most successful address was made by a, woman's hair-dresser who lost his nose through a shell explo- sion. As he told his comrades in a speech. ''Without my nose my job was gone, for how could a noseless cofffeur hope to please woman GUS. toners? Already melancholy had marked me for it's own, when the mask expert took my case in hand and so successfully, that I am now doing a rushing business in my old trade.''
 These American portrait masks" which are the only ones in France. are made of light weight copper plate, ename1led in flesh tints. They con- ceal facial scars and hide the ab- sence of missing features. They are an adoption of the mask invented bv Captain Derwent of the British Army. The work owes it's origin to Mrs. Maynard Ladd, of Boston, who de- V1sed the American mask, and to Miss Marie Brent, of Columbus, O. who took charge of the portrait mask studio." Miss Brent recently married Despreaux, director of one of the most important libraries in Paris

AARON BURR.

It is the birthday of Aaron Burr, once vice president of the United States. The ashes of Alexander Ham, ilton who was killed by Burr in a duel repose in the graveyard of Old Trinity Church, New York City. Aaron Burr's father was the second president of Princeton College. His mother was daughter of the cele- brated Jonathan Edwards.
 Aaron Burr, short in stature, was s man of great ability and of fascin- ating manners, but he was a born 1ntriguer, a man of corrupt princi- ples, and was eventually tried for treason after his mad enterprise in the West, whither he fled, a fugitive ilton. He was politically dead. ton. He was politically dead.
 He bore the burden of scorn and of private remorse for 30 years. He had begun his career so brightly; il set in darkness and shame. He had fought with Montgomery at Quebec; he had been a member of Washing tons military family; he had been ir command at West Point; he became vice-president to Jefferson and Burr His unholy schemes for personal az grandizement and pecuniary gain built his ruin

At last, she set up in London--and there was furore over her. She had obtained the very guillotine which decapitated Marie Antoinette. She died at the age of 90 years.

THE FLAG.

On this date, in 1783, the first ship which bore the Stars and Stripes, the thirteen stripes of the American Flag in any British port was registered at the London customs-port. She was loaded with 5S7 butts whale oil; she belonged to Nantucket; she was man ned wholly by American seamen-
 Only a few years ago there were still living in old Amagansett on Long Island old whalers who had never been to New York! Many times around the world, and many times north in the Arctic regions, whaling; but never to New York. Their whai- ing ship had always sailed from Sac ketts HaEhor, or from Nantucket
 It was a, supreme event that day in 1783, when the whaling-sh1p flying the Stars and Stripes came up the Thames.
 What is called .The Peep is, liter ally, a forest of masts-sh1ps rom every known (and unknown) part of the world. The smell of tar, oil, spices, coffee, tea, regales you in a weird fashion as you near London Decks.
 It was in 1900 that the new West India Decks were constructed; these were followed by the East India Docks, wilwan Docks, London Docks, the St. Katherine Docks, and the Victoria Docks, affording more than 500 acres of water accommo dation, besides the wharf and warehouse grounds. where all kind of apph- ances and machinery for the speedy end convenient transfer of goods and cargoes are in use.
 Some of the warehouses are ex- tremeIy capacious, the tobacco ware house of the London Docks being itself nearly acres in extent. A pass has to be obtained from London au- thorities to visit the wine-vaults and

the "tasting-vaults'' of the London Docks. The fumes of wine are really intoxicating as one enters, and one can conjure up the visions of the warm lands whence these precious liquors come, and imagine the turbu- lent seas they have crossed before reaching London.
 As that wha1ing-ship came up the Thames on Feb. 6, 1Ts3, the flag of the United States was now the ack- nowledged standard of a people on the Seven Seas
 It is not to be doubted that crowds lined the banks of the Thames to watch her progress up the historic river. It is not to be doubted that there were groans and misses and cheers, from the mighty people of a mistaken king who had let an enor- nous opportunity slip from his clinched fingers. Cheers from the lovers of liberty everywhere.
 Were there not Irishmen at the London Docks who cheered as the Stars and Stripes went by.

MANY CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES AGAINST AMERICAN ARMY

American Headquarter& Coblenz. Germany, Feb. 7.-C1aims for daxna- ges to streets, buildings, farms and even individuals all reputed to have been done by American soldiers or American equipment of some kind since the Army of Occupation reached the Rhine, aggregate something more than 5,OO0,0O0 marks. Those allowed total approximately 250,000 marks. Many claims are unique and some are without any justification.
 A woman who contended that her facial appearance had been marred for life, owing to cuts caused by fly l ing glass due to an explosion at an ! ammunition dump, sent in the modest [ claim for 250 marks. It was allowed. Another woman, whose husband had been killed by an American mill i itary policeman who was chasing | distributors of contraband liquor. | submitted a claim to. the Americans ] for 250,000 marks, contending that her sole support had been taken from her.
