of the home-circle. At the time of

her 61st year, and besides her hus
band she leaves a son and a
daughter.
The interment will take place in

Wasters Take Warning.
The food waste in the United
States is estimated by dietary ex
perts at about ?700,000,000 per
year.
An average slice of bread contains
three-quarters of an ounce of flour.
If each American family wastes
only one slice per day, it means
that 875,000 pounds of flour are be
ing destroyed every twenty-four
hours, or enough to bake a billion
one-pound loaves of bread. At this
rate the wheat yield of 470,000
aures would be lost. Stale bread
i may be utilized in many ways by
j thrifty housekeepers, ranging from
the savory bread pudding to pan
cakes made of crumbs.
If every housekeeper in the
country wastes an ounce of meat
per day, the aggregate loss is 9,100
000 pounds each week.
Finicky eaters are to be dis
couraged. They insist upon stand
ard meat cuts and staple vegetables.
They will not try new dishes.
Thousands who had never tasted
boiled rice found it palatable when
the price of potatoes became pro
hibitive last winter.
Great waste is due to bad pre
paration and poor cooking, lt is
estimated that careless paring des
troys fully one-tiith of the food
value of a potatoe. The best min
eral salts lie near the tuber's skin.
Overeating is a frequent source
of waste among the rich, and also
in families of moderate means.
Many persons consume more food
than the body needs, making for ill
health and sluggishness, rather
than energy.
Many housekeepers buy too much
and throw away the exctss, making
no attempt to use the left-overs.
Too large portions are served, the
remnants going to the discard.
Careless or untrained cooks throw
away nourishing'fcod in the shape
of skim milk, sour milk, gravy, or
melted fat and water in which
cereals or vegetables have been
cooked.
Careless handling wastes much
food, from the time it leaves the
farm until it reaches the corner
grocery-store. For instance, 13,
000,000 dozens of eggs spoil annual
ly in cold storage, owing to slight
ly cracked shells.
High-priced foods are fed to
animals-even to useless creatures
like lap-dogs.
"You do not need to leave your
home to help our armed forces,"
said David F. Houston, Secretary
of Agriculture, in a recent address
to the women of the country.
"Every ounce of food you save
from being wasted is so much gain
ed for the world's insufficient sup
ply. Learn to plan economical and
well-balanced meals, and do not en
courage overeating or ofter waste
ful or excessive variety. Make
every ounce of food count to its full
value,"
Home Demonstration Clubs.
[Communicated]
Since the war the government has
bean giving much attention to the
production and conservation of
food. In order to promote this
emergency, County Home Demon
stration Agents have been appoint
ed. If you are interested in fall
gardens, raising of fall poultry,
canning and drying of fruits and
vegetables, home-made conveniences
such as tireless cooker, new recipes,
join one of the Home Demonstra
tion clubs which will be organized
in your county.
It is hoped that a large number
of the school children of this coun
ty will become interested in this pa
triotic work-for it is patriotic
and that they will join poultry
clubs and plant fall gardens.
Time and place for demonstra
tions will be announced later, and
all interested to attend.
An Irish hod carrier was carry
ing mortar to the top of a skyscrap

he went up and couldn't find his
way down. The boss mi?sed him
and called up to him.
"Pat," he said, "why don't you
come down?"
"I don't know the way," replied
Pat.
"Why, come down the way you
went up."
(< "Faith and Til not," said Pat;

high noon, at the splendid Colonial

and was a school mate of that insti

performed the marriage ceremony,
assisted by Rev. Mr. G rosed ose,
Mr. Young's pastor.
The guests at the wedding were
the immediate family and nearest
relatives of both families.
The drawing room was artistical
ly decorated in white, the high
Colonial ceilings and doors making
the effect more beautiful. Aspara
gus was used to decorate this room
where there was no furniture except
the massive piano and a lovely altar
over which hung the wedding bell.
Here the bride and groom plighted
their troth, having entered alone and
together to the mystic strains of
Mendelssohn's Wedding March,
softly rendered by Mrs. Leitsy, sis
ter of the groom.
The bride wore a beautiful cos
tume of white Georgette crepe with
white sa?n picture hat and gloves,
and carried a lovely bride's bouquet
of roee-buds, most tastefully ar
ranged. On the mantel in the par
lor were candlesticks, a family hair
loom which had belonged to the
grandmother of the bride. .
The spacious hallway and stairs
were decorated in white and ivy,
this historic vine being in evidence
in most dainty designs, making the
stairway a thing of beauty.
The dining-room - where the wed
ding feast was served and it was a
veritable feast the colors were pink
and white, the bride's table being
ail in pink, with a large basket of
roses in the center and pink chiffon
festooned from the corners, and a
handsome Battenburg cover over the
table.
The lovely young girls who serv
ed, all exquisitely dressed in pink,
were Misses Helen Leitsy, Willie,
Louise and Launella Padgett.
A two course dinner was served,
the first course being turkey, ham
and salad, and the latter one pink
ice cream and Japanese fruit and
pound oake.
After the dinner the bride chang
ed her costume for a travelling suit
of rich plum, and the happy pair
began their journey to the moun
tains of North Carolina in their
handsome new Stevens car.
Guests at the wedding were Mr.
and Mrs. Young, parents of the
groom of Fairfax, Rev. and Mrs.
Groseclose and family, Mr. and
Mrs. Leitsy and family, Miss Nena
Owdom of Springfield, Mr. and
Mrs. D. C. Smith of Saluda, Mr.
and Mrs. Wilber Johnston and Miss
Mina Eidson of Johnson, Mr. and
Mrs. W. G. Ouzts and family, Mr.
and Mrs. J. L. Miros, and Miss Ma
ry Padgett of the University Hos
pital in Augusta.
