IMPORTANT AID TO ECONOMY
First Step Toward Saving Usually Lies
in Finding Out Where Unnecessary
Expenses Are incurred-Two
Good Methods.

prepared by the United States Depart
nlent Of Agricultural
Household expenses on the farm
are very intimately connected with
the business Of the farm itself. The
farm normally supplies much material
which otherwise would become
household expense. The household, In
turn very often furnishes board for
farm labor, which would otherwise be
a farm expense. Merely from the
standpoint of keeping track of house
hold expenses as related TO the farm
business. household accounts are de-
sirable and should serve TO supple
ment and round out farm accounts.
But the value of household accounts
goes beyond this. Such accounts are
an important aid to economy. A dol
lar saved Is a dollar made. and the
first step toward the saving usually
lies In finding out where unnecessary
expenses are incurred This can be
determined only by keeping careful
records of expenses for the whole year.
Methods Of Keeping Records.
There are two general methods Of
keeping a record of household ex-
penditures. One is to record the pur-
chases or money paid out, without
classifying the expenditures. The 9th
err is to classify when the record is
made.
The first method is very simple, re-
quires no special form, and gives all
necessary information regarding ey-

LATE VARIETIES OF

Apples Should Be Reasonably

Late winter varieties OF apples ana
pears are best for drying because they
are sweeter than the early varieties.
Apples for drying should be reasona-
bly, mature but not soft, according to
specialists of the United States De

three minutes on the way from the
pairing knife to the drier.
If only one person is working drop

The fruit to stand in the water any
longer than is necessary, because the

Care should be taken when slicing
by hand to make the slices as nearly

Siyteenths to one-fourth inch is the
! best thickness. Apples may be quar-
| tered or cut into eighths, but they do
not dry SO uniformly or 50 quickly as
! the sliced rings. The rings may be
| blanched in hot water or not as de-
| sired. Spread the rings in a single
| layer on trays and place either in the
| sun or in a warm drier. Apples when
| drying should be covered with muslin
or mosquito netting to prevent insect
| infestation. 4 few minutes exposure
will often cause the products to be
| infested
Dried apples that are brown or choc-
olate colored from the discoloration
resulting from drying without banching
possess as high nutritive value and
! often have a better flavor than the
more misunderstanding blanched prod
ucts.
Dried apples will not be brittle when
finished, but If handful of the pieces
are pressed together they will feel elas-
tic and springy and will separate
promptly when released, leaving no
moisture on the hands. When one of
the pieces Is broken in two, it should
not be possible to press moisture out
of the center.

Or at the end Of the year the total ex-
penditures may be quickly added Up.
In order, however to know the totals
for each kind or class it will be rec
essary to make up a monthly sum-
mary, in which the items will be dis
tributed in different columns by
classes. This extra work at the end
Of each month Cor at the end of the

neglect Of classification, with the re-
suit that the greatest good that could
be derived from the records Is not re-

Under the second method, In addi-
ton to being entered all together in
one column, the items are classified In
separate columns. This method has
the same advantages as the first meth
Cd and the additional advantage of
allowing for the distribution of items

may be left to moments of leisure if

JUST MATTER OF DEDUCTION
AS the Boy Explained 1t, the Finding
of Horse Was Really Quite
Simple Matter

Speaking Of the development of the
storytelling talent in youth, Richard
Bennett, the actor, is fond of relating
this incident:
Some years ago prominent citizen
Of town lost horse. It was not
much of horse. In fact, it was blind
in one eye and spawned. But, per-
haps as relic, Bennett says, the
prominent citizen wanted the horse.
So he advertised, offering So reward
for its return. The town half-wit, a
boy of nineteen, with harelip, came
one afternoon leading the horse, with
strap about the size of shoestring,
to the prominent citizens door. The
horses owner was pleased.
"Now," said he kindly, scenting a
good narrative and perhaps an ad-
venture, ''now, my boy, here's your
So; and I'll give you another So IL
you'll tell me just how you found my
horse"
"Well, all right" said the boy. 81

The drug store was quite near the

hours when he was awakened by the
violent ringing of his night bell.
With sleepy words of complaint he
pulled himself from his warm bed.

Throwing up his bedroom window
he allowed the first cold gust of wind
to rush past him, then put, his head

Below he saw a young lady.

inquired. "Is anyone dying?"

LIFE SAVED BY PLUNDERERs
Badly Wounded Soldier Owed Recov,
cry to Cupidity of GhouIs Who
Had Stripped Him.

1t was at the battle Of Edgehill,
fought Oct. %, 1912, that Sir Gervase
Scroop was found upon the field to
all appearances quite dead. This was
on Sunday afternoon, when the battle
took place, and it was not until the
following Tuesday that Sir Gervase's
son found the body of his father.
When discovered it was entirely ma
ked, having been stripped by camp
plunderers. The body was also COW
cred with wounds, sixteen of major
nature being counted.
Being brought from the field, efforts
were made to accomplish what ap-
peared hopeless resuscitation. Rub
bing was tried and after a long time
faint warmneSS pervaded the sup
posed corpse, finally resulting in vol
untary movements of the limbs. Sir
Gervase recovered completely and
lived for ten years after what was
considered almost miraculous revivi-
cation.
The doctors were Of the opinion that
he owed his life really to the brutal
indifference Of the robbers, as the
coldness of the nights had coagulated
the blood and prevented him from
bleeding to death. Had he been
brought off the field, they said, and
put in warm place he would un-
doubtedly have died owing to the fact
that he would not have received prop
er attention. but which circumstances

riors, and was awaiting an oppor-
tunity to ask your advice"
"Come with me-" he directed, and to-
gether we moved off across the plaza
to a building which I was glad to see
adjoined that occupied by Sola and
her charges.
"My quarters are on the first floor
Of this building he said, "and the
second floor also is fully occupied by
warriors, but the third floor and the
floors above are vacant; you may take
your choice of these.
'I understand" he continued, "that
you have given up your woman to
the red prisoner. Well, If you wish
to give your woman to a captive, il
is your own affair; but as a chieftain
you should have those to serve you,
and in accordance with our customs
you may select any or all the females
from the retinues of the chieftains
whose metal you now wear"
/ thanked him, but assured him that
could get along very nicely without
assistance except in the matter of pre-
pairing food, and so he promised to
send women to me for this purpose
and also for the care of my arms and
the manufacture of my ammunition,
which he said would be necessary.
/ finally chose front room on the
third floor, because this brought me
nearer to Dejah Thoris, whose apart
ment was on the second floor of the
adjoining building, and 1t flashed up
on me that could rig up some means
of communication whereby she might
signal me in case she needed either
my services or my protection.
Ny thoughts were cut short by the
advent of several young females bear
ing loads of weapons. silks, furs, jew
els, cooking utensils, and casks of food
and drink, including considerable loot
from the air craft. All this, it seemed,
had been the property of the two
chieftains / had slain, and now, by
the customs Of the Thanks, it had be-
come mine. At my direction they
placed the stuff in one Of the back
rooms, and then departed, only to re-
turn with a second load, which they
advised me constituted the balance
of my goods.
Finding that must assume respons-
ibility for these creatures, whether
would or not, made the best of 1t
and directed them to find quarters on
the upper floors, leaving the third
floor to me. One of the girls charged

and directed the others to take up the
various activities which had formerly

During our period of inactivity, Tars
Tarkas had instructed me in many OF
the customs and arts of war familiar
to the Tharks, including lessons In
riding and guiding the great beasts
which bore the warriors. These crea-
lures, which are known as thoatS, are
as dangerous and vicious as their mas
ters, but when once subdued are suffi-
ciently tractable for the purposes of
the green Martians.
Two of these animals had fallen
to me from the warriors whose metal
l wore, and in short time L could
handle them quite as well as the ma
tive warriors.
My experience with Woola deter
mined me to attempt the experiment
of kindness In my treatment of my
thoats. First ] taught them that they
could not unseat me, and even raped
them sharply between the ears to i'm
press upon them my authority and
mastery. Then, by degrees, won
their confidence in much the same
manner as I had adopted countless
times with many mundane mounts.
In the course of a few days my
thoats were the wonder Of the entire
community. They would follow me
like dogs, rubbing their great snouts
against my body in awkward evidence
of affection, and respond to my every
command with an alacrity and docili-
ty which caused the Martian warriors
to ascribe to me the possession Of
Some earthly power unknown on Mars.
On the seventh day following the
battle with the air craft we again
took up the march toward Thark. all
probability of another attack being
deemed remote by Lorquas Ptomel.
During the days just preceding oul
departure had seen but little Of De-
jah Thoris, as had been kept very
busy by Tars Tarkas with my lessons
in the art of Marian warfare, as well
as in the training of my thoats. The
few times / had visited her quarters
she had been absent, walking upon
the streets with SoIa, or investigating
the buildings in the near vicinity of
the plaza.
