CHICAGO, May 1.-THE tendency
toward improvement in business IS re-
tarded by the building strike, as II IS
called by employers or lockout, as 1t
is called by the employees. Some 1obs
are being completed. but the estimate
is that 5000 men will be idle by the
end of the week. While reduction OF
wages is the supposed point OF DIFF
ference, the real contention Is 1urls-
dictional-for instance, whether an
employer shall bring IN ana pay

plumber on the job could easily 90.
Architects say that hundred million

were settled. Prices in general are
still receding. but so far as cost OF
living is concerned higher rents nave

Retailers on Defensive.
Retailers are on the defensive. They
make vigorous denial of the charges
that they have held prices up. study

that resistance OF the retail prices 20
the process of readjustment is per-
haps due to other causes than the
stubbornness of the retailer. One ex
planation is that supplies are not
being forced on the market rapidly
enough to affect the prices of many
articles. The careful buying of the
retailer has been just about enough
to consume current production.
Perhaps the retailers have been care
full enough to guage their purchases to
the needs of the consumer. If trading is

And they mounted the stairs to
their editorial, reportorial, and print

manner not only preoccupied but ap-
prehensive. Now and then they would
give each other a furtive glance, and
then seem to reflect upon their fathers
and mothers wishes and the troublous
state Of the times. Florence did not
keep them waiting long, however.
She might have been easier to bear

The blackmailed partners made no
reply, on account Of an inability that
was perfect for the moment.
Florence made it clear to them that
henceforth she was sole editor of the
North End Daily Oriole. (She said
she had decided not to change the
name, after all.) She Informed them
that they were to be her printers,
nothing more; she did not care to get
all inky and nasty, she said. She
would, however, do all the writing for
her newspaper, and had with her a
new poem. Also, she would furnish
all the news and it would be printed
just as she wrote it, and printed nice
ly, too, or else-"look out!"

in much the same fashion did she con-

printers remained away from their

own door. He explained coldly that

suits show that there is still much to
learn in serving an invalid's meal.
A normal person in health will be
able to overlook many eccentricities
Of food, but the person who is i'll must
be fed the kind Of food to give
strength and not Overtax the digestive
organs.
To make food tempting enough to be
eaten when 1t Is not desired takes not
only skill in dainty preparation but
fnesse in handling the patient.
The well-trained nurse has had in
her training the proper preparation and
serving of food, but often the over
worked mother finds it necessary to
be both nurse, housekeeper and cook,
30 It Is invaluable for her to know
how. The daintiness of the tray and
its pretty china as well as the food
served upon it is of first Importance.
Spotless linen or pretty paper dol
leys In case Of contagious diseases,
should always be used; the small
sets made on purpose for tray with
pretty china, arranged for the con-
yenience of the patient, with flower
or two or a piece of bright fruit with
its foliage will make the meal source
of pleasure. The psychology of APP
pealing to the sense Of beauty in the
tray fittings is not one that we should
slight.
Even paper dishes of all kinds may
be used in contagious diseases, thus
eliminating the risk as well as the
work Of caring for and sterilizing
them.
After the invalid has passed the
LIQUID food stage there is more op-
portunity for one to express taste In
arranging the tray. The semi-solid
foods are custards, jellies, cereals and
such foods. Cereals should be SUBJ
jected to long, slow cooking and In
many cases 1t Is better to strain them.
Perishable foods should never be
bought In large quantities beyond the
needs of the family.
A little grated cheese added to the
milk toast to give the grownups makes
a most tasty dish.

the way I look at it. My father and

Herbert's mood at once chimed with
this unprecedented flial melancholy.
''No. you don't, Henry. That's what
I often think about, myself. No, sir,
a fellow doesn't have his father and
mother to advise him our whole life,
and you ought to do good deal what
they say while they're still alive"
That's what / say" Henry agreed
gloomily; and then, without any al

thoughtfulness of his attitude, he
changed the subject in way that
painfully startled his companion.
"Have you seen Wallie Torbin today,
Herbert?"
"What"
"Have you seen Wallie Torbin to-
day?'
Herbert swallowed. "why, what

"Oh, nothin'." Henry still kept his
