A resident of Carthage describes this experiment in a letter which. Mrs. richardson re produces. Following is an extract from, this lotter: "Of the fifteen families who joined when it waa orgailied. five families dropped out because they could no longer afford to belong. ? "I tho cost of provisions had re mained what it WBB'when the kitchen opened, diubUessuttfe kitchen would have become a permanent institution.

"Wihen the price of board was in creased to threo dollars and fifty cents, then to four dollars, per mem ber per week, lt waa more difficult to get members. In a tows like Car thage there aro many, families that can afford three dollars nor member table -board. There , are fewer that can afford four dollars pc*.* member. And lt became difficult to find fifteen i tamiles lfvlng In the same neighbor hood who could afford it. "Besides, as the membership de creased, the expense per member in creased, so more famflju dropped out. "In ordr to be successful, a kitchen must be located In ? a neighborhood whero at least twelve 'families have the same standard of living, the same tastes, and are able to spend the same amount on their table.. Thia may be In a very small town or In a city. In a town like Carthage* whore the' scale runs from a millionaire to a mall! carrier in the same block, it ls diffi cult to pick that neighborhood."

Following ts a brief extract from what abe, las to say about food): ' "Rich pasir;', froxen Creams and candy are difficult to digest and, In addition to menacing the health, they cause positive homeliness. They con tain rjore sugar and fat than the sys tem can possibly assimilate, and tho surplus ts carried to the akin, where it makes its appearance in the form of pimples and blackheads: To avoid auch foods doesn't moan giving np all deserts. Let your chole? rest between light custards, fruits and. ices. "Coffee and tea are not always in jurious, provided they eire taken In moderation.
