Real Estate, Insurance and Loans to store groceries or fuel in the mod ern tenement. Here on the coast, quite a proportion of the population is floating, living in furnished houses or rooms, and buys each day's pro visions as they day comes, not know Ing where they may be tomorrow. For people so circumstanced this may be the only way, but for people who are settled and have room to store such things it is foolish and extrava gant. A few years ago everyone in the country, by which term I mean any where outside the great cities, laid in his winter's, or, if possible, his year's supply of fuel, salt meat, ap ples and vegetables in the fall, when they are cheap and easily procured. Butter and eggs were also laid in during the summer. While It may not be practicable to do this in many cases, it certainly does make a great saving over buying in small quanti ties. Buying directly from the pro ducer, you save a profit, often a large one. Buying in small quanti ties, you pay from 20 to 25 per cent more than when you buy in larger quantities. If you get 16 pounds of potatoes for 25 cents, when they are selling at $1 per cwtr., you pay 25 per cent more than you would to buy them by the cwt.; and this Is true of almost' anything you buy in the provision line. If one is willing to buy in quantities he can often save a good deal by investing in special bargains. When peas that usually sell two cans for 25 cents are offered for 5 cents a. can, lay in a dozen cans. While it is wise to buy pensn- able articles in small quantities package goods and such staples as flour, sugar, tea and coffee may be bought safely in large quantities, if you have a safe place to keep them The credit system is another fac tor in the high cost of living. Any one with ordinary judgment can see the merchant must sell his goods at a higher price if he has to wait in definitely for his pay and take chances on losing a certain per cent. Then, too, If one is running a bill he will buy a good many things he would not if he were paying the cash. I have seen people buy things on credit without even asking the price. Buying on credit is like buy ing over the phone or sending chil dren to market. The merchant must be exceptionally honest, if you get manufacture of inferior goods of all kinds has largely increased, and many of them are such excellent imi tations as to deceive even people of ordinarily good judgment. The greater part of the family buying is now done by women, and, as women have for generations been stinted in their purses and have for the most part to make their money go as far as possible, it is but natural that they should be attracted by cheap things. How many dollars are ex pended yearly upon cotton goods that will not wash, and imitations of wool or silk that after a few days of wear look as though taken from the rag bag, or shoes and stockings that give out in a week, and tools that prove utterly useless when put to the test? If legislation could be brought about to prevent the manufacture and sale of such articles, large sums would be saved yearly. The pity of it is, that it is those who can least afford to lose anything who are the greatest sufferers by these frauds. Buying fruits and vegetables out of season is one of the most needless extravagances. Many people who can ill afford It ray high prices for such things out of season, and by the time they are in season are tired of them and are buying something else that is -ahead of time. In speaking of such things an experienced grocer once said to me: "It is never the people who can,afford who buy these things." Yet these are the very ones who complain the loudest about the high cost of living. The remedy for the class of causes named in this article is in more care ful, intelligent and self-denying buy ing. When girls are taught this be fore they leave the parental roof, one of the most common causes of pov erty and unhappiness as well as im morality is eliminated. boil until tender in slightly salted water. Heat 3 cups of milk to boil ing, adding a pinch of soda as you do so. Drain the cooked macaroni, turn it into the scalding mild, add a heaping tablespoon of butter and simmer, stirring to prevent scorch ing; for 5 minutes.

Eggless Cake. Mix 2 cupfuls of white sugar, 2 cupfuls of cold water, 2 tablespoon fuls of shortening and 1 package of seeded raisins and boil 5 minutes. When the mixture is cold add 3 cup fuls of flour with 1 teaspoonful of soda and a teaspoonful of different spices. Bake an hour in a fairly hot oven. This makes two good loaves of cake, which are improved by keep ing. Bilking Powder. Baptist Church, corner Second and Hargadine streets. Sunday school, 9:45 a. m. Preaching, 11 a. m. B. Y. P.

It not only causes you to pay from 20 to 50 per cent more for an article, but Induces you to buy what you cannot afford and would never think of getting if it had to be paid for in a lump. It has come to be almost as much a cause of poverty to the poor in cities as MODERN WOODMEN OF AMERICA the drink habit.

Another disadvantage of the credit system is that 1! your Income is al ways spent 'in advance, you never have the cash to take advantage of real bargains when they are offered. And right here I would- say that the bargain counter and the cheap store are often traps for the unwary, who COOKING RECIPES. Head Cheese. Boil the head and heart of a pig In two gallons of water until the meat falls from the bones. Boil in another pot 8 piece of corned beef (but the pork is just as good with out). Remove meat from the bones and cut in large pieces. Strain and set aside the liquor, and when cold skim off the fat and return liquor to the. fire. Put the meat in a pan add salt, pepper, teaspoon of cloves and a small head of garlic, cleaned and chopped fine. Put in the meat when hot, stir and set away to cool. When hard, place on a board and slice. To Make Hash. A quick way of making hash or dressing, instead of using cold meat, is to mix 15 cents' worth of pork sau sage, a medium sized onion, a pint of bread crumbs; chop all together, moisten with water and bake. Dress ing or hash made this way is much better than made the old way. Vegetable sausage. Boil separately 3 carrots, 2 pars nips, 4 onions and a pint of peas. When cooked chop fine and add a lit tle garlic, a pinch of finely minced parsley, salt and pepper to taste, half a pound of bread crumbs and 2well beaten eggs. Let the vegetables stand till cool, then roll into the sau sages. Dip in. egg and fry in hot fat. Pork Cake. A cup of fat salt p6rk chopped fine, pour a cup of boiling water over It, and rdd to this a cup of su gar, a cup of molasses, 4 cups of flour in which has been sifted a tea spoon each of soda, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg, 2 teaspoons baking pow der, a pound of walnuts and a half pound of seeded raisins. Bake an hour in a moderate oven. Potato Dumplings. Pare and grate 3 Mix a nound of cream of tartar, a ! . i l n.AA. nt. I n -. r . 11 pound of cornstarch and a pound P0"1! fjL"""6 p,V. of baking soda and run through a siter. This costs about half as much as the best baking powders and is pure and healthful. Fried Potatoes. When frying potatoes sift a little flour into the potatoes and they will brown quicker and have a better flavor. Vegetable Curry. Fry brown a medium-sized onion in 2 tablespoonfuls of butter, add a tablespoon of curry powder that has been mixed with cold water, and cook about 10 minutes, stirring fre quently. Add a quart of shelled peas, 6 medium potatoes cut In eighths, 2 ripe tomatoes peeled an sliced, and a teaspoon of salt. Fry until the paste and vegetables are well blended. Cover with cold water and boil until the potatoes are cooked. Stuffed Potato- Eggs. Form ma3hed potatoes into the shape of eggs, cut in halves and scoop out the center for filling. Grind half a cup of any kind of cold meat except ham and mix with half a cup of bread crumbs, a little onion, celery, an egg, butter, salt and pep per to taste. Fry in a little butter and fill the lower half of the egg with the mixture. Cover with the top, molding the potato carefully to make It look like a hard-boiled egg, Guarding Local Bridges.
