Indeed Dan Cupid is often supplanted by gnarled and hoary H. C. L. with his retinue of impish problems. A common problem has made Judy O'Grady and the Colonel's Lady more surely sisters under the skin, for both are trying* to steer the matrimonial ship through seas ?'of billowy prices.

The war has cost us in round numbers twenty-five billion dollars, a debt which the people must pay. If we are to readjust ourselves to new conditions reconstruction imposes, women must study the problem from every angle. After all, a solution will come only when home makers of town and city, hamlet and countryside are alive to their individual and collective responsibilities. Wise spending of money and its equivalent, careful use of what money has bought, conscientious spread of the "work and save' propaganda will do more to bring order out of the present economic chaos. Since women buy so large a part of all household commodities, in our hands lies the power to curtail much of the excessive demand responsible in a measure for high prices and low saving accounts. me country needs a greater number of capitalists. Until the women in the home, the man in the factory, the girl in the office and store, and the clerk in the bank, begin to save a portion of their earnings each month the American home and the American community are not built upon a sufficiently stable economic foundation. In the iinal analysis progress rests upon the saving of money. Hotter roads, better schools, more general college attendance, more attention to health and happiness depend in large measure upon the wise investment of savings. Thousands of Americans, however, have learned neither the necessity to save nor how savings may be accomplished. The savings division of the treasury department is endeavoring to impress both necessity and means of accomplishment. The pur? pose of this little pamphlet is to take up wise spending in its relation to food arid clothes, because in the purchase of these necessities so large a portion of the average income may be expended, to outline a simple budget system, to the end that careful planning may make possible a savings column, and to noint out securities safe and profitable for the investment of- these savings. Concerning the Food VVe liuy. "We may live without poetry, music and art; "We may live without conscience and live without heart; "We may live without friend*; we may live without books, *'But civilized men cannot live without cooks." -?Owen Meredith Nevertheless there are aome cook? civilized men could well do without When a prominent citizen in a Southern state in which there had l>eer much political unrest and a good dea of crime was asked to explain the rej son for the widespread lisord ?r, l.< explained tersely, "Three fric 1 meal; a day."

Somo oar ago a new i president was elected t take charge of a southern colleg< After the first Sunday dinner the president's wife rolled up her sleeves and undertook to reform the housekeeper. This was the dinner that so dismayed the president's wife: cnicken with bread dressing, rice, macaroni, biscuits, potato salad, icecream and cakr?starchy throughout and calculated to make the partakers properly stuffed for the rest of the afternoon. Now the Sunday menu runs somewhat like this: chicken, lice (for we are speaking of a rice loving state), spinach, biscuits, fruit <?i1ad, ice cream and cake. There arc the protein, the starch, mineral salts, fruit acids, fats and sugar, calculated to make a man healthy?an l, as it often follows, wealthy and wise. From the standpoint of economy the balanced diet strongly recommends itself. When all parts of the body are harmoniously nourished, ' oally less food is required, and like the proverbal "apple a day," balanced meals will surely "keep the doctor away." Foot note.? * By "balanced meal" is meant a meal maintaining the proper proportion between carbo-hydrates, proteins, fats, and mineral matter. Garden Variety. It is difficult, however, for busy I housekeepers to avoid the ruts one slides into unconsciously. In the city less forethought perhaps is required, for a market is near at hand for the last minute purchases of the tardy housewife, but in the country a woman must think far ahead to provide the variety her family requires. Her opportunity to reduce household ex1 1 i 1 _ _ A 1_ _ A f penses ana to oring aown me cost 01 living- is greater with a consequently greater community responsibility. While the city /housekeeper only in rare cases can be a producer, the farm woman can contribute largely to production. In planting a garden rich in variety, a garden more than adequate for the all-year demands of her household, she is contributing to the family savings and insuring health fulness at home. If the word "variety" could be written in large letters across the gardens of the South, a big step would be taken in the direction of health and economy. "But my family don't like the new fangled vegetables seed catalogues advertise," many a despairing woman is heard to complain. Why not train that family? See if you can't cultivate their tastes. Make them know that in winter and summer their bodies must have variety. Yow will find even older sinners against dietetic laws remarkably docile if handled with tactful persistence. On the other hand, the worn-in \vhn is producing for the markets must consider first of all the salability of her product. It may be altogether altruistic to attempt to cultivate the tastes of the community, but this sort of altruism often proves disastrously expensive.

THE HORRY HRRALD, (X place, it is necessary to take account of the cost of production and balance this against the income derived indirectly from family consumption and dircctly from the sale of products. Later we shall emphasize the importance of a simple and reliable system of bookkeeping. The Problem Solved. However thrifty a gardener the women on the farm or in the small town may endeaver to be, there is doubtless some food which must be bought. How buying may be reduced to its minimum seems best exemplified by four old women who lived in the mountains of South Carolina. Perneacy, Victoria, Salina and Tekoa Green arc really indepenJoat women, though their kind are often called our "contemporary ancestors." Miss "Nancy" and Miss "Vic" till ihe hillsides unaided, raising excellent crop.-. i\iiss Tekoa tends l ie garden with zeal and an intelligence stimulated by much perucal of government pamphlets and farm sections of the daily papers. Miss Salina, the eldest and a crinole. is the Martha of t.liA cumbered with many cares which include cooking three meals a day, cleaning the house and canning and preserving the variety of fruits and vegetables Miss Tekoa's efforts bring forth. It is all planned aloiif? lines of labor division, with the result that absolutely nothing has to be bought except coffee and sugar (the tea is dried rosemary and goldenrod). The t spinning wheel still stands in the big living room and the old loom in the basement. On rainy days passersby can hear the monotonous buzz of the wheel and the even tapping- of the shuttle thrown back and forth by an experienced hand. Our four mountain sisters are carrying home production to an extreme inadvisable perhaps for the farm woman of other communities. The example is worthy, however, of a degree of emulation, and if more women with plots of ground to cultivate would apply themselves to the task of increasing production, food prices would be seen to tumble. Nevertheless, many rural women must buy at least part of their table supplies. Here too there is a public as well as a personal responsibility f ? i ? 1 Hf * ior women 10 snouiaer. we Americans have always been rather reckless in our spending, and, as many of us are sorrowfully realizing now, this recklessness, intensified since the signing of the armistice, is largely to blame for the high prices today. We must inaugurate an epoch of thoughtful buying; we must learn to be guided in our choice by quality and not by the price ticket attached to the article; we must purchase the essentials before the luxuries; in other words, it is every woman's duty to get a full dollar's worth for every hundred cents expended.

When the machine arrived, a Model C, multiple magazine, with auxiliary magazine, the machine already in use by the Herald had been moved to a new position on the concrete floor of the new print shop and it had been running for a week or more by power from its new shaft. Room was left for the new machine, and it is now in its place, fully installed and is in operation, doing its part in the printing of this issue. Everybody is welcome to call at the Herald office at any time and see, not only, this wonderful new machine in operation, but any of the other interesting machinery that the Herald now has.

COTTON NEEDED IN GERMAN MILLS Washington.?Luck of raw cotton and fuel is greatly reducing cotton manufacturing in Central European countries, according to a report on the cotton situation at the department of commerce from Consul Howard W. Adams, at Berlin. Spinners and textile mills in Germany, Austria, Czecho-Slovakia and Jugoslavia, the consul said, are working only from 20 to 30 per cent of their full capacity. Because of the unfavorable rate of exchange of the currency of those countries, as against the American dollar, the consul explained, the spinners and textile mills can afford to buy raw cotton only when they are ubie simultaneously to market the converted goods for export. Consignments of raw cotton stored in the warehouses at Bremen, Hamburg and Eisenbrod, Bohemia, were bought by dealers before the drop in the price of cotton in the United States. Consul Adams declared, and the prices now being asked the consumers rendered it practically im After Thorough Ti Mich., Man Ei The following letter written from Detroit, Michigan is no snap judgment expressed 011 the merits ol Fe-ru-na, the wellknown catarrh remedy, 111 " rfjrffill but rather a mature, sober opinion formed after a full year's trial.
