Ho ah« had called up the bureau and thnnkod them and they »111 <1 a club of Indlea were the <>nea that »cut Um tiling«. The club had tetepbcMd tn and aaked for the nddreaa of aaniu family that would not be likely to hnve n big dinner, and then they had Ailed the bmdeet and » Dt It to the nddreaa given. Now ahe would like to thunk the club. She could read Engllali but who couldn't xp.-ll the worile Would I write the let ter for her? And that wna the wuy Uie In die» found out that the “klda wuz ernzy.” I went over to Mm. Hull*» bom«, and the netting and altunUon oeetnu«! t<> my Innspnrlencr <*xnggerute<l beyond actunllty. The plnce looked like n •tnge rvprcaentatlon of ikiverty. Tin' huatmnd had d<*ort««1; then* were three children, a toddler, a sickly girl of nine, u sickly hoy of ten; and the mother hiul ‘‘tudna In Uie ch«"t,” could work ogto Intermittently. There wns plenty of work to bo had thin yetir. ■he mid, but And one child fell nick, then nnothur. and she buraelf. after being ao hot tn the steamy baaeinentfl when* aho did wuxhlnga and then go ing out Into the cold, would get those pain» In U m * cheat and would have to give up for awhile. At preaent about all »ho waa doing wum working at horn.. putting atrtnga on uxprumi tag». Going home tn the «trout cur I fell Into such on abatrnctlon I went nearly to the limits boforr I woke up enough to cnnaldor th« matter of alighting. I got to thinking of amtraata—of a world of folk ftumlng about tbe ove« amount of protein they had In their ay st emu, and that other world with the family milk ration one Un a week; of people suffering from superheated apartments, and of thoM that watched anxiously the dwindling nuggets tn the basket; of people blinking nnder the glare of too-many-and-too-hlgh-power bulbs, of the Flail family that went to bed right after rapper to anvt* light f of danclng-drosae« trimmed with fur, of the thin cottony coat Jltnmlo Hall was wearing; of limousine with orch ids showing at the gins« and foot warmers for footrests, then of Mrs. Hall walking miles to her work to nave Ave cent».

Why the tisemuch on the one table the bure subsistence on the other? The slothful wnnnth, nnd the dreary cold? Tile over-brllllunt r»s>ms. nnd the long darkness? Of chiffon bor dered with fur, nnd of shivering Jim mie? Of “the colonel's Indy, and of Jullu O'Orndy”? Who are going to solve It. when Is It going to be solved? Nolsxly, It seems. Nev<*r, It m-eion. But nt least once In awhlhs nt this special season nnd thnt, u momentary lifting of the cloud may occur—at least for the chil dren.

HIT, Wwatwm Nwwgpaparr UnkagA.; A Mousewifes' Plaint Local "Walt Mason” Iwanys Her Lyre lh*ar Uncle Ham, For many inonihe I've planned to write to you, but these are strenuous times, you know,’’and I’ve fount! bo much to do. Fint, there wefe our war garden«; later the Y. M. C. A., the canning and the drying all helped to fill our day. We’ve knitted tor our Boldier Itoys warm sweater», nocks and thing« that they may I»* protected from Jack Frost’« cruel sting«. We have our meatleM-wheatleas days; luee no butter with our meat; we’ve droppet! the «ugar from our tea; we make our pies less sweet. We've ad- jn«U«l all our recijtes to meet with Hoover’s plans; all summer long we’ve digged ant) delved and put things up in can«*, we’ve invested, too, in Liberty bonds ant! hoj>e to get some more— you’ll ever find your nieCM are loyal to the core. But Uncle, dear. I have a plaint: it doegn’t seem quite just that the grain and sugar we’ve conserved should help the Brewer»’ Trust. I think that if we «ave this food that Hammy may iw "fit", the brewers, too, should sacrifice, and lie made to do their '‘bit.’’ Another thought that comes to mind, we think it is unfair that com we sutistitute for wheat should enrich the millionaiare; but we read when Haig smashed Fritz' line«, corn went tip like a rocket anil I put a few more thousand» in some «pec- ! ulator's pocket. We willingly forego ' our wheat for corn-meal, mush and ; honey, but corn-meal 'now. dear Uncle j Sam, taste« very strong of money. 'Tis just the same with other thing»— oatmeal and rye and rice; when you fixed the cost of wheat they too in creased in price* Now why can’t you and Hoover devise some simple mse to prevent our being robbed for tne substi tutes we use? Now Uncle, we’ve one more com plaint; you’ve made our sweetmeats dear, but have you asked your nephews to reduce their smokes or beer’« You know that many thousands go up in smoke each year-a wasteful habit you'll concede, one costing you most i dear. l’leas«* do not think us jealous, lie cause that isn’t true, for all these things and many more we’ll gladly do for you; i and we shall still continue upon the saving plan ami economira and lioover- I ize in whatever way we can. But, i Uncle, you will understand we’d give I with lietter grace, were these, our broth ers’ luxuries included for a space. The land now in tobacco which a medium profit pays could be,more profitably used for sugar, wheat or maize. Well, Uncle, I have written long and let complaint« run rife, but I sign my self, Your loyal niece. American Housewife. I.xaz 0. R ichardson . 5817 88th St., 8. E. Md/lpan Potatoes. One cup peanut butter, cup pow dered sugar, a few drop« almond flavor ing, about a ^eaapoon or more of egg white, 1 teaspoon lemon juice if liked. Kneed into a flexible paste, roil small portions around walnuts, almonds or raisins, shape into small potato«« about an inch long and roll in cocoa. For superior candy use finely ground al monds or half almonds and half peanut butter. This mixture may be rolled in the shape of small apples or |>ears with centers of fruit paste and tinted on the the outside with fruit juice. The Place Looked Like a Stage Rep reaentatlon of Poverty.

He accepted the information j that it was n caboow and always came [ laat, with great soli mnity. At dinner that night, having cleared his plat«*, he indicated the dessert and ci Imly commanded, "Slip Timmy his caboose.” Church Directory Lents M. B. Church.
