That marvellous p0wn creation of silk, which adds to the charm of beautiful women, is made from the spinnings of a mere worm.
 The silkworm comes from the eggs of a large moth with short thick body, stout legs and broad white wings crossed by several black lines. In early summer this moth lays from POO to 800 bluish eggs as large as a pinhead, gIuing them on any conven- tent surface where they hatch the fol- lowing spring. coming out as larva, about a quarter of all inch long.
 They have an enormous appetite and each day consume tEeir own weight in leaves. This cont mules for ten days when they stop eating and cast their skin This process is re- peated fuor times before the cocoon is spun The little "silk-producer" is then three inches long. He stops eat ing and begins to shrink in size and to spin the cocoon.
 Tile first sginqing is the outer network known as floss" and then the silk fibre is spun and wound about his body, which steadily decreases in size so that the finished cocoon is only one and a half inches long. In five days two or three thousand feet of silk fibre comes from the tiny aperatures in the mouth. Under the microscope it is seen as two strands, blended.
 The cocoons are then graded as to color quality and size and heated to

GUY FoRE-oUARTER sEEF AND

The fair price commission declares
that If consumers will buy moro fore

Here is something which the United

Gently said on the subject:
, Because Of its reputation as the
choicest cut, the people ask for por-
terhouse steak. whereas If they would
try chuck steak, the chances are 1t
would prove to be satisfactory and 1t
would cost much less. The reputation
of porrerhouse steak with the cOnse-
quent large demand for it. coupled
with the fact that this cut forms only
a very small per cent Of the carcass,
causes it to sell at higher price than
any other cut.

the value Of meat from the fore-quar.

prices Of meat 40 q whole would b
greatly reduced and would be more
stable. -
IAN abnormal demand for any COM
modify forces up the price and this
condition applies to porterhouse steak
or other choice cuts. People should
use more fore-quarter meats and re-
duce prices Of living. Any Of the fore
quarter meat is good for making
meat loaves or Liberty steak, while in
some markets, steaks are cut from the
rib and sell as short cut steaks"
The department Of agriculture
shows plainly how expensive it is to
discriminate against the fore-quarter

PEOPLE Who DO Things"

Tie world owes most to men OF
initiative. They are the people who do
things without having to be told. 1t
was this spirit that made .anes j.
Hill the developer Of our great west
ern empire. 1t gave John Wanamaker
visions Of princely commercial enter
prise. It made Edison wrest from M
ture her secrets and harness her law,
for the good Of man. And to the list
names might be added indefinitely
Among them would be those Of moth
ers who have dared schemes to make
ends meet on mesger incomes. There
would be men with the odds against
them striving with might and main
to turn calamity into success. And the
surprising thing about it is they often
succeeded. The everlasting plOdding In
the rigAt direction gets the results.
Any man can begin fitting himself for
high station by seeing what needs to

to get busy.-Grit.

and IL he is aware of it he very likely
does not understand the reason there
for. The wholesale prices on hind and
f0re-quarters of beef are based on
differential of so much o:er carcass
price for hind-quarters and so much
under carcass price for fore-quarters.
It Is seldom that fore-quarters ever
sell as high OF that headquarters sell
as low as carcass prices. The average
differential is usually 2 cents over on
kinds and 2 cents under on fores. At
present, the differentials are greater,
both over and under.

This is just the time of year for per-
sons with porterhOuse habits to get
acquainted with beef from the fore

roasts and stews. On this account 1t
requires more heat for cooking. In
cold weather, when it is necessary to
heat the house for personal comfort.
there Is double reason for using fore.
