Ten Is Asleep.

FRoSTBURG, Nd, April g.
An attempt to murder the entire
family Of Joseph Greco, . miner Of
this place, consisting Of his wife
and eight children, was made this
morning at o'clock by the explo-
sion Of bomb, which shattered
one wing Of Greco's house.
The bomb explosion, which broke
windows in more than score OF
houses as far away as two blocks,
aroused the entire city and caused
widespread fear among the nom
union miners who are working in
the mines.
Had Reclined Warning.
A warning was received by
Greco that he and his family would
be blown to hell" If he returned
to work in the mines Of the Con
solidated Coal Company here.
Greco returned to work last week.
after being out with the union
miners on a strike for nearly a
year. The note, bearing the emblem
of the black hand, warned him that
unless he quit work yesterday, he
would be killed.
Fearing for the life of his family
Greco moved the eight children, and
with his wife slept on the floor in
the opposite wing of his little house
Indications from where the bomb
was placed showed that the assail
| ant had knowledge as to where the
family slept, the bomb being placed
, beneath the bedroom Of Greco and
his wife.
Went Through to Roof.
The explosion tore away one en-
| tire wall 70 the room, blew up the
| floor, and destroyed the roof. A
hole eight feet in diameter and four
feet deep was made by the explo
sion.
Had Greco and his wife occupied
! their customary positions in tbs
room, it is felt certain that they
would have both been killed. None
however, was injured
Last nights explosion, 1t is be
| lieVed, marks another effort oil
union mine sympathizers to prevent
nonunion miners from taking tho
union miners jobs.
| The strike has been in progress
! for more than a year, and the unior
strikers are losing their supporters
| in small groups, who are breaking
from the ranks and returning Il
the mines. Approximately 1000
miners are still out on a strike
and it is believed that that many
more have returned to work.

---s.----------- HOW MUCH FOR FOOD?

In planning the budget or spend- ing for the coming year, the second most important item after shelter is food" First we must have place to protect us from the ele- ments, then we must eat! Ine so vast, and so interwoven with the country's great industries, so inn portant to the housewife, that 1t must be well considered. What sum shall the average family spend on what it eats?
 est part of the sum spent9is not for nourishment, but for flavor, sense appeal, and for out-of-season novel; ties. It has been proved that many persons could' buy enough food to nourish them well for sums rang ing from about l5 cents per day up to 50, even in this era of high prices. We further know that much Of every dollar spent for raw foods is wasted because the food itself Is poorly prepared, or part of it thrown away.
 We should never "skimp" on food if by food we mean those values which increase health, make chill dren strong and enable us to keep our organisms up to high working level. Milk, for example, even at 25 cents quart (let us hope it never rises LheTe!) WOULD De Cucdp food" because of the iron, lime and other nourishing value it offers. On the other hand, radishes, crackers, squash, fancy buns and dozens Of "gimcrack" foods are dear at any price, because they are so largely water or fluff. Any housewife can figure out for herself what the budget of each member of her fam fly is for food. Take all that is spent for food for one week, includ- ing ice. milk, all dairy products, etc., and divide it among the number of adults served. This will be the pro rata figure. In many cases she may be surprised to see her family is costing per meal more than they would spend at a good hotel!
 In estimating flood" we must in- clude all lunches and meals taken away from home. That is, the food item is not only what the housewife lunch, what the children eat or take for school lunch and the many "snacks'' and bites so often indulged in daily, like chocolate bars, sodas, etc. The total that these often un- counted 'snacks" roll up into IS
 Here is what the United States government says families should spend on food, from its latest fig- ures: "A
 Family of two persons on income of $100. S35 monthly on food. 4@
 Family of five persons on income of s125, s45 monthly on food.
 Family of five persons on income of $175, $50 monthly on food.
 Family of five persons on income of $200, s55 monthly on food. of s250, $5S monthly on food.
 Family of five persons on income of $500, s60 monthly on food
 If a maid or worker is kept, of course she must be considered one of the family and counted in. A good general figure is $1 per day per person. But this figure lessens the greater the number. that is, four persons can be fed for less per per son than can one alone, and so on well does the boarding house keep CT know this! The sum of 75 cents per day in certain sections will pro- vide amply for working adult while 50 cents per child under eight or 10 years of age is another est- mate helpful to follow.

 His attitude changed after the first meeting at the door. She was pug zled by his almost rigid formality and >-feserve. Conversation soon be- came boresome. She was disappointed and hurt, for he was evidently criti- cising her home. Then something tragic and unforeseen happened. In another part of the house her mother wa preparing supper and closed doors could not shut out the unmis- takable odor of boiling cabbage. She felt humiliated and shamed.
 He sniffed and his face underwent surprising change of expression. The aroma of cooking food grew stronger, completely drowning the delicate perfume she had chosen. She expected him to rise and depart hurriedly. Instead, the stiffness of his manner vanished; he stretched himself languidly.

BEST FOOT FORWARD

She was nervous and apprehensive. The most fascinating man she had ever met was coming tL tea. She had met him at costume dance the night before and he had been greatly attracted to her. He was extremely fastidious about little details and she longed to make a favorable impress sion on him in the day time. She could tell that he disliked crudeness of any kind from his perfect man ner, his careful choice of words and his appreciation of things beautiful She didn't want him to meet any Of the members of her family. They were good-heasted souls, but they lacked culture and knew nothing of art. He was artistic to the nth de- gree.
 He came and bent over her hand, and Peter Pelican in the chicken coop.
 "Nowp' crookelookie said. "when Humpylumpy and I have finished eat ing our dinner; for we are very hungry shall change you three into monkeys, and this time, I shall make no mistake" So there wasn't any thing to do, but for the Raggedys and Peter Pelican, to wait until Crookelookie and Humpylumpy had eaten their dinners. Then they could see what would happen.
