Uncle JIlll. the gifted poet of the Excelsior Spring Stanilard, has been studying the lives of the old masters and is inuch discouraged. I-Ic writes: Old John Bunions told his Pilgrim piece while in the penitentiary (101' time for some little offense. Nearly all of 'em wrote their best stuff while in great distress. Nearly all of 'em had sore eyes, 1some was totally blind, an' the com mon run of writin' material was poor -a sharp st ik an' a gourdful of home made ink was the best they had ; in spite of them hanmli(aps they managed to compose stuff that will live long af ter mlly best poem has went the route. Still-you never can tell. It is inter esting to ponder on the possibility of one of war poems beln' in the fifth reader of A. D. 2153.

ARE WE USING ECONOMY? It is the little leaks in the household %vhich seem so unimportant that they are not noticed, which are the cause of many bankrupt homes. . Take a look into the bottom of the tea and coffee cup at the end of - the meal, not to read your fortune (alas, many for tunes have been thus wasted by use less extravagance), but to note the sugar left undissolved in the cup. Children should early learn to stir well all foods that contain sugar, so that none is wasted. Are the members of your family who take more food on the Platte than they can eat leaving it to be wasted? If so, they are worse than unpatri' otic, for they neither love their coun try nor their fellow man. Are you careless about waste in pre paring vegetables, spoiling food in cooking, serving it so unpalatable in appearance or In seasoning that it Is uneaten ? Are you spending more than a third to a half of your income for food, for your family? Are you buying foods out of season and so satisfying'the appetite for such foods that they are not appreciated when they appear in the home mar kets? This is a waste of labor, fuel in transportation, as fell as money. Are you huying perishable foods In such quantities that they must spoil before being used? Do you choose the choice cuts of meat rather than the cheaper and more nourishing cuts? Are you using fish, fow'l and perish able meats so that those for shipping pmay be saved for our soldiers? Are you throwing away the vege table waters in which they have been cooked, that are rich in iron as well as food? Are you using more milk products, milk being one of our most valuable foods? Lessening the use of milk Is false economy. Are you using economy of labor, time and strength in household duties? These are fully as important as the saving of money ; some of us think vastly inore I imlortiant. To get the maximum comfort for one's family with the minimum labor is worthy of ome's best thought and ef fort. Old outing flannel makes fine clean ing cloths for floors, as they wring easily.
