TIIF. problem of how to lighten
Hie eost of high living Is a vital
one loiluy, and especially is litis
question nlisorliliiK to the poor
man's wife. Iter household uiotto
should surely he to tunko tho hest of
uvei-ylhlnx Itiisklu says, "Industry
without art Is hniliillly." And that Is
Juslly so of the luiiuemaker, Her duly
(s to iiinke her lioiue Jiwt an uttiaetlve
as possible, ihkI to do thot she must
keep In mind that "a penny suved Is a
euny earned" anil that every pleeo of
fvod throw n out is money lliiown away
Here are four tliluits that help mm h
in lowerlliK the enst of hluh llvhi:
They lire huy In ns large qtlautltles as
powslhle, therehy getting a reduction
Use things In season, when they nit
cheapest. Wheu egg prices soar search
your cook hook and household maga
zines for "eggless recipes." Make a
systematic collection of economical nu
tritious dishes.
Egg Substitutes.
Wheu eggs are high In making dough
nuts boll and mash u good sl.ed potato,
heat It hi with I lie sugar and make the
doughnuts ns ihiiuI without any eggs.
Ju making pumpkin or squash pies lu
place of eggs roll crackers One and use
as much of theiu in bulk as you would
of eggs. You could not tell the differ
enoo If you did not know.
When you want pudding for dinner
and have no milk try adding another
egg and a few more raisins and ihb
warm water In place of milk.
Waya of Using Cheaper Cuts of Meat.
Beef loaf Is a line dish In which the
cheaper cuts of meat are never recog
nized. To make It take one and one
half cupfuis of stale breadcrumbs or
cracker crumbs, two pounds of ground
beef, three tcnspoonfuls of salt, season
ing to taste. Mis with water or water
and milk, using as much us you can,
and have the meat hold together. Bake
about one hour In u bread tin. Thicken
tho liquid left lu the pun for gravy.
I'ork In bntter is another good way
to employ the cheap meat. Make a bat
ter of one egg beaten with one third
cupful of milk and euougb flour to
make the consistency of pancake bat
ter. Fry some slices of salt pork until
they look clear and are beginning to j
crisp, then dip In the batter until well
covered, ltetuiu to hot fat until well
done. Serve will! linked potatoes.
Lamb a la Creole. This Is an at
tractive way to serve up cold lamb and .
Is tnsly and economical. Mince a j
green pepper after the seeds are re- ;
moved and half a small onion and cook
them together hi two luhlespoonfuls of
butter for live minutes. Stir in four
Jablespoonfuls of flour. When It Is well
blended ndd n cupful of stowed and
strained tomatoes and a cupful of the
liquor In which I he lamb was cooked,
or, If It happens to he cold roast lamb,
use water or g.Ksl gravy thinned a lit
lie. Cook till the mixture Is smooth and
thick, season lo taste with suit and
pepper and (urn lu two cupfuis of cold
lamb cut into small pieces. Stir and
cook for sis minutes Make a hollow
lu a mound of hot boiled rice and turn
the ragout into mid over It.
Beef Liver Lyoniinlse. - Procure
about a iHiiind mill n half of beof liver,
slice It I bin and hi v it in n wide frying
pail, sprinkle n ilh unit mid pepper nmi
two tablesi nluls of olive oil When

GEE, AIN'T ITCREAT TO LEARN.
When a fellow thinks he knows it all, his trouble just begins;
You slip and get an awful fall, why you're knocked clean off your pins;
You couldn't stand life's simple ways, but now for them you yearn;
How little you knew in bygone days
Gee, ain't it great to live and learn !
Before you were twenty-one and the old folks would advise,
Away from them you quickly ran, their advice you would despise;
To you they weren't up to date, but now for them you yearn;
You see your mistake, but it's too late; Gee, ain't it great to live and learn!
The best little girl you ever knew, you turned her down, and why?
She wasn't sporty enough for you, too backward, bashful and shy;
You wanted one from the Great White Way, well, you got her and the
light don't burn;
You're taking your medicine game but, say, ain't it great to live and
learn?
You know there's nothing to a flashy gent, with that flattering line of
talk;
His spiel as a rule is not well meant, test him and you'll find he'll balk;
And remember a knock is always a boost, and the knocker he forgets
That chickens come home to roost, and ofttimes one regrets.
The nasty thing he has said about a friend as well as a foe;
Remember you're a long time dead, so be straight before you go,
And when you're old enough to marry, look before you leap;
It's better by far to tarry than make mistakes and weep.
And when you pick your girl be sure y ju know that she loves you and
you alone;
Pick out one that can cook and sew and one that loves a home;
Don't get stuck on a pretty face or a figure that looks great;
Remember you're not buying lace, yot 're looking for a niaie.i
Never be too old to take advice, and don't think you're the whole reul
thing,
Because it's just twice as nice to be modest and to cling
To those good, old-fashioned ways, and if you do you'll never turn,
And some day you'll look back and say
"Gee, ain't it great to live and learn !"

"Why did our Lord go "every
night into the mountain? And
why was it His custom to walk so
frequently into the garden? It was
because he felt the boon compan
ionship of Nature, the friendly
helpfulness of the vast and the
beautiful. Mountain and garden
were allies of the spirit, silent great
hearts, who ministered to him in
the pilgrim way. He sought the
mountain when he was pondering
over great decisions; he was found
in a garden "in the night in which
He was betrayed." He heard
wondrous messages in her voice;
in her silences, too, he .listened to
mysterious speech. He read the
evangel of the lilies. He under
stood the language of the birds.
He read the face of the sky. He
shared the secrets of the soil and
the seed. He walked through the
corn fields on the Sabbath day.and
the ears of corn ministered lo a
richer Sabbatic peace. He stood
to hold intercourse with the grass
of the field. The winds brought
him tidings of the other worlds.
The vineyards gave him more than
grapes and wine; they refreshed
and strengthened his soul. Every
where and always our Saviour was
in communion with his willing and
immediate friends in the natural
world. Nature was to Jesus a
blessed colleague in the soul's
commerce and fellow with the
Highest.-Dr. J. H. Jowett.

HOW LUCILE HELPED,
"Dear Teacher I Love You Very
Much."
The school room was very '
noisy. Tho children were mov
ing their feet, turning the
leaves noisily in their books, !
and some were whispering. ,
Poor little teacher was so tired, j
sue was almost ready to give
up in despair! It seemed that
none of the children loved her
today, for, if they did, surely
they would ohey,
"O, if :t o'clock would only
come!" she sighed to herself,
"so that I might let them all
go to their homes and I might
have a rest !"
She started down the aisles
between the rows of seats to
try once more to get the chil
dren quiet. Her heart was very
heavy and tears were near to
her eyes. As she passed by one
seat occupied by two little girls
a little hand thrust itself out
into the aisle and crowded a
piece of crumpled paper into
the teacher's hand. The teach
er went hack to her desk, un
folded the pieceof paper and
read :
"Dear Teacher -1 love you
very much. - Lucile."
When the teacher looked up
there were two bright tears in
her eyes, but they were glad
tears. When she spoke there
was a new ring in nor voice.
"Children," she said, and
her voice was soft and low,
put away your hooks and let's
sing a merry song.
And as the children sang, all
of the trouble seemed to leave
the room. Soon they went hack
to work, and all was sweet
peace and quiet.
And as the children were
leaving the school that day, I lie
teacher look into a pair oi' blue
eyes and smiled. "1 love you
very much, Lucile," she said.

Have Been Restored to Health By Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
There is no doubt about ibis fact. Why i during the
last 30 years wo have published in the newspapers of this
country volumes of letters from women who have been re
lieved of all their suffering hy the timely aid of this grand
old medicine. Letters like the following, true, genuine and
honest expressions of gratitude corning Irom grateful hearts.
Surely you can believe these women.
Mrs. L. S. niCKXNElt, Hudson, Mich., snys:-
" Sometime ago I was taken with a terrible pain in ln.v right side, such
sharp pains ju,t like a knife sticking me. 1 tried hot applications hut that
did no good. I went to our family doctor (v- -,v. re living in Fayette, Ohio,
at that time) and he said it was organic iuthuiunui ion. 1 doctored with him
a while hut kept getting worse. The pain v.':,: so U-rrilde 1 could hardly
stand on my feet. 1 would have that sharp pain in my right side, and a
dull heavy pain the whole length of my lin.c, 1 realized that something
had to be done quickly, so I looked up all o! y ,. advertisements I could
iiud, and saw several that described my ease 1 ! i :. buttle of Lydia .
rinlthnm's Vegetable Compound and it heloc.t me 1: i;in the tirst dose, and
when 1 hail taken two bottles my trouble v gone. Vuur medicine has
done so much for me that 1 am willing you should p 11 1 dish this letter for the
sake of other sun'ering women." Mrs. L. S. l!n!...i:u, Hudson, Michigan.
Mrs. L. K. BOWERS, Girard, Pa., says:
"I take pleasure in informing you of what Lydia E. I'iukliam8 Vegetable
Compound has done for me. 1 had a sick spell last February, and for
some months after that I was not regular au.t had many bad feelings. I
was tired all the time, had dull headaches, nut much appetite, and also
what the doctor called organic inllainmation. Your Vegetable Compound
has entirely cured me and I feel that too much cannot be said in its praise
as I am now able to do my own work. Von are perfectly welcome to use
my testimonial for the benefit of others." Mrs. L. E. lioWEBS, K.F.D. No. 1,
Girard, l'a.
Mrs. ELIZABETH GENTILCOHE, Buffalo, .Y.,snys:
" I feel that I must write to you ahout your wonderful remedies. About
ten years ago I was troubled with female weakness and was all run down.
I was tired all the time and could hardly walk without fteling dizzy. 1
heard about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, took it, and also
used the Sanative Wash. I got stronger, and have not had those dizzy
spells since. I feel that I owe my health to you, and hope your remedies
will help others as they have me. ' I tried most everything I heard of, and
yours are the best medicines for women's ailments." Mrs. Elizabeth Gsn
tiiaxjhk, 28 Olor Street, Buffalo, New York.
For SO years Lydia E. Plnkliiiin's Vecctublo
Compound lias been the standard reined foi-lc-male
ills. No one sick with woman's ailments
does justice to herself if she does not try this fa
mous medicine made from roots and herbs, It
has restored so many suffering women to health.

Dut we don t care to seil that kind
of wagon. We wa; t your second
order, and your third, and every
order you give for a wagon. Wo
can't be sure of getting those orders unless the
first wagon you buy from the 1HC local dealet
proves so satisfactory that you would not think
of going anywhere else for the second. We
have to tell you how good our wagons are to
get your first order. After that, we expect the
wagon itself to do the selling. I H C wagons
Weber New Bettendorf
Columbus Steel King
are made of selected, liigh-h'rade material
throughout. The lumber is air-dried in huge
sheds for three years or more before it is used.
Air-drying takes years of time, and leaves the
fibres of the wood filled with and cemented
together by the natural resinous residue of the
sap. kiln-drying requires only a few days'
time and leaves the wood brittle and weak.
Air-drying produces elastic lumber, wagon
parts that bend and give under loads and
strains but that spring back when the strain
is removed.
Weber and Columbus wagons have wood
pears; New Bettendorf and Steel king have
steel gears. The 1 1 1 C local dealer will give you
literature and full information about thewagOBS
he sells. See him, or, if you prefer, write
