Feelings are a delicious table,

There are many ways Of serW

Some people do not care for,
egg shells, but that is because
they have never tried this nu.
tritious and dainty article OF
food. Perhaps as with. olives
and garlic, a taste for egg shells
is an acquired taste. Throw.
ing egg shells into the garbage
is a terrible waste. Remember
the old adage: "Wilful waste
makes woefui want"
Some people throw into the
garbage can those little round
paste-board tops that come in
the milk bottles. All mistake,
and an extravagant one. There
are a thousand ways Of prepar.
ing them for the table. Run
through. a meat chopper, they
make an excellent breakfast
food and are much more pleas
ant to the taste than some. OF
the patent food now used. They
may also be fried, broiled or
scrambled and are delicious
when properly seasoned. - {;
Tea leaves should never be
thrown away. They can be made
into a delectable imitation Of
fried tripe, and only an Tepicure
of high degree can tell the
difference. Think of the dread
full waste In coffee grounds.
Millions of pounds of them
thrown into garbage cans every
year. They may be made into
excellent buildings when prop
erly treated. They also make
a splendid imitation breakfast
food.
Many persons throw away
bacon rinds, which, when prop.
erly treated, make an excellent
and palatable food. The same
may be said of banana skin.
and the shells Of English wal
nuts, which all too frequently
find their way into the garbage.
People are just awakening to
the fact that garbage Is "a crime.
Wagon loads Of 1t are hauled
away from the average apart

Some surprise to friends and foes alike Of the Volstead law must be loc- uasioned by the first announcement of results in the women's vote In the Llt- er2-y Digest's national poll on prohi- hition- T. had probably been assumed hat the women's vote would add sub sta1rial numbers to the dry contingent. but the result Is quite opposite. The womeu's vote goes ahead of the regu- lar poll in recording opposition to the prohibition law as l. now stands. Com pared with ss.3 per cent dry 2o.s Der cent wet and 40.s per cent moast in The regular poll. the women show sz. i per cent dry, 25.s per cent wet and 4o per cent moist.
 While this is the showing from only a comparatively small number, the first 10000 votes counted, 1t looks probable hat the same proportion will be nganu- ta1ned tl the subsequent count, if we may judge from the way percentages have bean rsaintalned in the regular poll as ths increasing number of votes have been tabulafed- So far the gen. eral voes has shown that the cities and industrial centsrs are generally wettea than the country and that the factory workers arc pronOuncedly wet Il seems fair to admit that the vote may be ta1Jsn as an honest expression oi 1rinion. which offers suggestive ground Tor sthought
