The unconscious Influence of this lack

many women hold all housework aa
drudgery. Has not this attitude a direct
effect In the Increased coat of living?
A graduate of one woman's college
found it worth her while to take a
course In practical cookery, merely
that she might be able to prepare an
occasional meal for herself fn her own
suite of rooms. She wu interested in
some mission work which took Tier
away from home at an hour iwhen it
would upset the routine of the house-

pare a special meal for her , In advance
of the family. . -
Though a college graduate, her hands
had received little training and the
simplest processes of cookery seamed
intricate to her.
When the topio of the lesson was fish
and the process of boning was explain
ed in detail, she exclaimed, "Oh. I have
done something like' that before: In bi
ology. But we threw away the part
you save and only used what you Dis
card here."
Since the consideration of a portion
of a fish is sufficiently cultural to bave
place in the college curriculum. It
would seem as if the parts valuable for
human food-should receive some atten-

On every hand attention Is bstnf

of the country.
After the coal is mined and trans
ported long distances to the consumer,
the waste Is yet more alarming be
cause of Imperfect appliances, and still
more because of ignorance -of the laws
of heat, and of the mechanism of the
cooking ranges.
It Is estimated that at least three
fourths of the power of the fuel Is lost
In our houses. Another feature of the

which might be abated by united effort.

- Hemlock and sweet fern, however,

I heard a housekeeper thanking' a
