A BROADER VIEW

Too constant application TO our own
affairs or conditions breeds sclfishness.
1t creates a state Of mind where we
see only our own life and Its incidents
magnify until we lose the broader con-
sideration every man and woman
should have for the welfare OF othere.
When ones vision has become narrow
ed by a long period OF existance In one
place they should take n trip. Go as
far as possible. II finances and time
limit the time OF your journey go as
ar as is permissible. To mingle with
other people broadens our view OF life
and makes us more liberal and more
considerate as TO the affairs OF our
fellow men. We learn that others have
troubles like ourselves. that the same
problems confront the man who lives
on the Pacific coast as the one who
lives on the eastern seaboard. As the
train on which you travel glides
through the country dotted mere ana
there with farm houses stop and think
that under each roof is being fought
the problems OF man. Each one has his
troubles to meet. Sickness and afflic

look serious and you think no one hal
troubles but yourself, just take trip

How Much Cereal Should Be Used.

Cereal food of one kind or another
forms large part Of almost every whole
some aud economical diet. As o general
rule, the greater the part played By
cereals the cheaper the diet. Up to a
certain point one may cut down the
quantity Of meat, eggs, butter, sugar,
fruits, and vegetables used and substi-
tute cereal foods, but food specialists 10
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture say there Is limit beyond which
this can not be safely done.
A sample days ration for family Of
father, mother and three young children
10 which cereals are used as freely as is
considered wise, contains about 41,2
pounds OF bread, or lite equivalent in q
variety o. cereal foods; Q quarts of milk,
1 IA pounds of medium. fat meat, 10
ounces of butter or other fat, IL pound
OF sugar and or pounds Of fruits and
vegetables. In this diet the cereal foods
supply about one halt Of the protein.

Powders Should Not Be Used

In some communities there Is a wide,
spread use OF canning powder. Both
boric and salicylic acid are bought from
druggists for this purpose. Large guam
titles of these acids are also sold At u
high price under fanciful canning com
pound names.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture warns against the use Of any
preserving powder or canning compound.
Their use encourages careless and un-
clesnly work, and their excessive use
may be attended with serious effects
upon digestion and health 1t Is entire
ly practicable to "put up" fruits and
vegstabl so that they will keep indefl
nitely by processing the products with
heat. There is no reason for taking the
risk Of using canning powders.

Mutton and Tomato Pie.

An excellent way to use cold mutton
Is TO bake 1t with tomatoes, using alter
nate layers of tomatoes and meat. The
Home Economics Experts of the United
States Department Of Agriculture recon-
mend this. A tomato sauce may be
used, or the following method may be
employed: Place in baking dish layer
Of fresh tomatoes or of cooked tomatoes
which have been either drained or re-
duced In volume by boiling. Add q
layer Of meat, dredge with -four, salt
and pepper, and add small bits of butter
until the materials are used, arranging
to have a layer Of tomatoes on top.

COST OF DELIVERIES Is PAID BY THE
CUSTOMERS.

Styles change In marketing, too. Fifty
years ago few stores delivered any arti-
Gle. They were In the selling, not In
the trucking business, they would have
told anyone who suggested suoh an idea.
But, In time, a the number Of stores In.
creased and competition grew keener,
some OF the merchants, to attract GUS
toners to their stores, offered to deliver
purchases.
This innovation proved very popular
With the public, and soon other stores
were forced to adopt the custom. At
the start the idea was to deliver articles
which could not bs carried conveniently
by the customers. But as time went on
and the public focked to the stores
which delivered packages Of any size,
practically all merchants fell into line
and gave the same service. A yeast cake,
. spool of thread, or . handkerchief
were some of the articles bought for
which delivery was asked by the un-
thinking public. The demand for this
sort Of service grew greater, and, al
though merchants realized that the cost
of their delivery system WAS getting out
of oil proportion, there seemed NO way
of pemedv wing the matter

Red
blood

Rich, red blood coursing through
your veins-is sure sign Of a good
digestion. Unless your stomach,
liver and other digestive organs are
working promptly and thoroughly,
the blood cannot assimilate all the
nourishment from your food; your
energy and vitality are not renewed.
Eat all you want, only avoid too
much pastry and rich foods, but be
sure to take plenty of time. to chew
slowly and we'll. Chewing is the
first part Of the process Of digestion.
A teaspoonful Of "L.F." Atwood's
Medicine occasionally, will purge
your system of impurities, and al
low only nutritious elements to

FREE DELIVERY A MIsHoMER.

This bureau points out that it is an
absolute truism that there is no such
thing as free delivery. 1t may be free in
the sense that the customer does not
make . separate payment for each item,
but each delivery costs the merchant q
definite sum, and to cover this cost be
must put higher price on his commodi-
ties, and the customer pays, though in
directly, for the service.
Market baskets are in style nowadays,
and il 10 one of the wholesome signs of
the age that people are breaking away
from the idea that perfect lady or
gentleman never carried package.
Now, they are carrying home not only
food supplies but other articles as we'll.
Where the cost Of delivery has been
eliminated from the stores prices, per-
sons so situated that they can take ad-
vantage of the fact and perform their
own delivery services can often make
appreciable savings.

CASH AND CARRY STORES.

About 10 years ago group Of grocers
broke away from the orthodox plan and
started what were Known as cash and
carry stores. Prices which we're cheaper
than those in the regular stores attracted
consid srable trade, but not until the war
upset the world and raised the cost Of
al commodities did the rank and file
throng TO these stores. Within recent
years another type has started, called
the sslf.serve, In which the customer
waits on himself, as we'll as carries home
bis purchases.
The popularity OF these nonservice
stores is due in part to the campaign
which has been carried on by many agen
cies to educate the people to the fact
that those who are willing to carry home
their purchases can save money. One
Of the forces at work TO cut down the
cost of marketing, SO the producer can
obtain better returns and the consumer
pay less than he does now for commodi-
ties, is the Bureau of Markets OF United
States Department of Agriculture.

The Call of the Film

After several weeks of mystery,
disappearance, alarms, rewards and
headlines the young girl oppressed
through fifteen long and weary
years by the name Of Henrietta
Butte is discovered alive and rejoic-
ing. She had demonstrated patent
hair curriers' in Chicago department
store as Vivian Vivienne. But this
was only q pause for health and
funds. At the end of her journey
lay that city of cities, of romance
and celluloid compact, Los Angeles,
where all good little girls with curls
and yearning to be grand and glo-
rious pitch the end of their rainbow
Here she underwent another met
amorphosis and became Dorainda
Valdez. The wires are conflicting as
to Just how near film she actually
won her way. Long and arduous is
the road to ones goal Of happiness,
as the -moralists aver and history
confirms, and it may be all too true,
as the police of Los Angeles assert,
that Henrietta Doraldina Vivienne
never got into the movies at all, but
was working as a housemaid when
all was discovered, and q ticket home
was the gravestone of her ambi-
tions
Yet we are glad to see that the
parents Of Henrietta show a spirit of
wisdom and clcmency. If she wants
career she is to have it, declares
her mother Only it must, at any
rate, begin in New York, hmita
ton which hardly seems excessive
in view Of Henrictta's limited years
And, of course, there is always the
possibility that after five weeks of
mystery, disappearance and head
lines the young heroine of our rec
may find home a better spot than
when she left it. Running away
from home gets to be a habit with

Voting by Families

While American legislatures daw-
die over the granting of suffrage to
women our French neighbors are
considering a bill now before the
Chamber of Deputies which provides
not only for the enfranchsing of
women but for giving political
weight to minor children. Many
families whose male members gave
their lives for France now have no
voice in the affairs Of government.
The head of the family, man OF
woman, is to cast the votes, one for
each member, including minors.
The, fact that, in the case of a
family consisting of father and
mother and minor children, the
father is to cast the votes for all
Of them disregards to some extent
the principle Of individual repre-
sentation which is the basis Of our
laws. While the single adult woman
is to have the right to vote, the mar
ried woman will have the right only
if the husband is dead, in which case
she casts the collective votes for her
minor children, if there are any.
Perhaps the real purpose Of the
bill is to increase the birth rate
The more children the more votes
Of course, the provision for the
representation Of orphans and lille
gitimate children might seem to be
an argument against this assump-
ton, but that may be a bit of
camouAage in the name of equity
and aside from the primary object
But whether designed for the pur.
pose or not, the bill, if passed, may
we'll have an influence on the birth
rate, which has long been a serious
problem in France.
