M IE ADVICE
Cost of High Living Causing
Much Worry
HARVEY WILEY TALKS
Says That tlu Hoiikcu Ife Should Xot
Abstain fjimi Purchasing Wlult
She Wants Hut She Should
Iluy Loss of It.
"Don't turn food crnnk be
cause the things you like hnvo
risen in price.
Don t boycott meat because
steaks are expensive. If you do.
you may get sick, because your
teetH and your digestive appa-
rntuB were built for a mixed
diet.
Hat more canned goods; they
ore' cheaper than ever before.
"If combinations continue to
control the prices "of food pro-
ducts the government may be
! obliged to enact nntl-high-pro.
nt laws similar to uiose niuieu
against UHury."
DR. HARVEY W. WILEY,
Chief of Bureau of Chemistry.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. Wr." Wi
ley's advice to the housekeeper in the
present financial crisis brought about
In the family purse by the high cost
of living. Is to abstain from worry
and buy everything she has boen buy
ing only not so much of it.
"A ton cent soup bone will fluvor
half a bushel of potatoes,'' said Dr.
Wiley, "and will, if cooked right,
tnsle just as good an a dollar steuk.
With the addition of an onion, a car
rot and a sprig of parsley, that soup
hone can be made to produce enough
good nourishing soup for a big fain,
ilv. Then, after the soup Is made,
save a little of the fluid and boll it
down In the kettle with the meat
Then you'll have a 'pat roast' which,
if mnde right, will
11 ire Ml to set oe-
fore the president.
Canned goods of all kinds nre
cheaper than ever before In our his
torv. Deans and peas have not risen
appreciably in price, nnd make the
best food for man. Wheal flour nt
the price it Is now selling Is the
cheapest food that can be bought, and
corn meal hasn't changed in price
for the last ten years.
"If the American cook would study
the methods of the French cook, who
uses up all the 'left overs.' you would
not hear so much nliout the lncrei'sed
cost of living. The average American
cook throws awoy or wastes enough to
keep the ordinary French family go
ing. Over there they savo every
scrap of fat and every crumb of
bread, and convert them into appetiz
ing dishes. They know how to make
Ihe most out of the cheaper culs of
meat. Over here tho overage cook
turns up his or her nose nt the coars
er grades of meat and thinks that
nothing Is fit to eat unless it conies
from the neighborhood of the tender
loin. "Of course a great deal of the add
ed cost in the price of meat products
has come nbotlt as a result of com
binations of d-alers. The farmer Is
not getting much more lor bis cattle
than he did ten or fifteen yenrs ago.
The government or the slate will
have to step In one of these days, if
those combinations continue to .In
crease the prices, nnd enact Inws pro
hibiting dealers from making more
than a certain amount of profit.
"This suggestion, of course, will he
hailed with cries of 'paternalism.'
Well, it Is to-be paternalism. If you
please. All government is paternal,
when you come right, down to brass
tacks. If the government can enact
laws declaring tho amount of Inter
est or profit n dealer in money shall
make like the statutes relating to
,lsurv why should It not be justified
in aniilni? ilnu'ti the lines for the d".'il-
ers in the necessities of life? The
men who rob the market basket are
moro criminal than tne men wno c-
mnnnv nn illi'linl loans.
"A limit of sav fifteen or twenty
per cent net profit a yenr might be
set down for the butcher nnd grocer.
Tho drv goods merchant or the con-
tmelnr'whn lllllllls llOIISOS WOllld he
glad to make as much, nnd If It

! pie In the case of the grocer and
I butcher, niignt ne raai u ... ...
elude the clothier, the shoe neaier.
and nil other tradesmen handling the
necessary goods of life.
"Whatever you do, however, T beg
of you not to become a food faddist.
I am therefore opposed to those six
months boyctts against meat. The
human frame was built for a mixed
diet and to cut off meat suddenly Is
likely to play all kinds of havoc with
the system, r have observed that
those vegetarians, nut eating and un
! cooked victual cranks no not live uu
i longer than the average run of us
poor meat eating mortals. I do know
I that they all look hungry, and when
; ever I meet one of them I am tempt
! ed to invite him into the nearest r"s
! taurnnt to have a good steak if I
happen to have the price.
"What the present situation re
quires Is a little more Judgment In
j buying, a little more Judgment In
I cooking nnd less worry over the food
trusts. "
I Dr. Wiley specializes In eggs. He
modestly snys he's an expert on hen
fruit, and the other day dropped lit
tle gems of egg wisdom to the mem
bers of the house silli-eomniittee on
the District of Columbia, during their
consideration of the high cost of liv
ing problem at the capital.
I The doctor appeared before the
committee with about a perk of eggs
of varying ages and dubious pnstji. a
bag of salt, and a big glass. In the
i latter ho mixed a strong solution of
brine.
I "If you want to know whether the
eggs you nre buying as strictly fresh
have really been laid this year." he
I explained. "Just take a glass, fill It
full of brine, as I bavo done, and
drop the valuable farm yard product
therein. If It sinks to the bottom of
the glass, the egg is fresh and worth
the money; If it rises to somewhere
near the top of the fluid, it is not
as rresh as it used to be, and It it
floats well out of the water, It is of
the sort that are supposed to be hurl
ed at bad actors and isn't worth any
thing a doEen."
The committee was Interested im
mediately, and crowded around the
doctor as he proceeded to test the
eggs he had brought.
"That's a fine, fresh egg," he ob
served, as one of the specimens drop
ped plump to the bottom.
"How do you know it Is fresh?"
asked Congressman Moore.
"Hecause one of my Inspectors was
at the hen house this morning and
saw It laid," replied tho doctor tri
umphantly. 1
SAFES IN GIG HOTELS.
Valuables Kept In Them by Guests For
. Years at a Time.
A woman walked up to tho counter
of a fashionable hotel atid asked for a
package of valuables which was In tho
safe.
"If I bad not wanted one particular
thing I suppose I should have left the
package where it was for another
three years." she said to the clerk,
"Yes," said the clerk ill auswer to a
question nfter the woman left, "that
packet had reolly been lirour safe for
three years. Why. we have ull sorts
of valuable papers, jewelry and eveu
money that are Intrusted to our keep
ing for years ut a tlmo. 1'cople seem
to prefer & hotel safe to a safety de
posit vault. One reason perhaps is that
it costs nothing. Another Is that tho
standard of hotel clerks ba's Improved.
"It is astonishing the amount of jew
elry that peoplo keep In hotel safes. Of
course the owners have originally stop
ped In ttie hotel, but they go away,
leaving their valuables, and I have
known such persons to bo gono as
much as two yenrs and never mnko an
Inquiry -about their property lu that
time,
"To show you how much confidence
peoplo hare In hotels and their em
ployees I might mention that the other
day n man enme in hero nud put four
$1,000 bills In an envelope, wroto his
name on the latter and asked lne to
put it In the safe. Not long ago an
other man actually did the same thing
with seveu ?10.000 hills."
TI10 clerks of several other hotels
talked in n similar strain without any
outside suggestion.
"I'll bet I have handled more than a
million dollars' worth of Jewelry to
day." said one. "Look here." and he
opened the safe nnd piled six or eight
big Jewelry cases on tho counter, but
hurriedly put them back. "In one of
those I know there is over S'iUO.OOO
worih. and what I showed you was
only a few of what the safe contains."
