KEEPING HOUSE WITH THE HOOPERS

(Tb* Hoopers, an arerag# American family of five, living in a suburban town, on a limited income, will tell the readers of the Dally Times how the many present-day problems of the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical. Follow them dally in an interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.) “I wish yeu'd buy those shoes today, Henry,” said Mrs. Hooper anxiously as she bade him good-by at the front door. "1 looked np those addresses for yon where they are having sales, and I don't want you to miss them. I shan’t have to bny anything much this week out of the clothes money, so put as much into them as is necessary to get a good pair." “I'll take part of my lunch hour and attend to it,” promised Henry as he hur ried away. Betty came In from the yard half an hour later with her toe completely through her shoe where she had rubbed it on the gravel walk, but a visit to the friendly cobbler that afternoon put stout Ups on both her small shoes for 25 cents. Mrs. Hooper decided not to buy Roger any handkerchiefs but to get a piece of good quality linen and hemstitch them. Now that she was doing the washing herself they wouldn't be rubbed to pieces on the washboard and It would really be a better investment in the long run than the ready made ones she bad planned to get for him this week. She had also concluded to rip up an old blue serge skirt of her own, wash it and press It and make a pair of bloomers for Helen that would last her very well until the warm weather. In this way she would need to spend nothing out of their clothes allowance this week, which would Insure Henry having a good pair of shoes. Bhe had the skirt pressed and cut out by tea Ume and was busy basUng the bloomers when Helen came over to Inspect them. “Well of all things, mother," she exclaimed wrathfully. "I think you might have bought me anew pair, Alice Briggs has a lovely new flannel dress with bloomers to match that her mother bought at Grands, and I have to wear these old made over things.” - 2^7 AMUSEMENTS.

“This old mad* over thing,” answered her mother quietly, “will be very warm and comfortable when it is finished and as it is made from serge that was woven In the days when cloth was of much better quality than It Is now, It will probably outwear Alice Briggs' new ones by many months.” “I think yon look a lot nicer than Alice Briggs doea, Helen,” volunteered Roger, reaching for a cookie. “Her dresses may not be made over, but there Is always something torn or hanging about her somewhere —and ends flying—haven’t you ever noticed?” “Oh, what do yon know abont girls’ clothes?” pouted Helen. “Well never mind I” Interrupted Mrs. Hooper, “how about those starving Chinese that we want to help.” “Oh, yes,” exclaimed Roger. “Six dollars will keep one Chinese alive until the next harvest—nearly six months. I wish we could make the saving of at least one life our charity for this year, mother.” “Well, you know, Roger, that our budget gives very little margin for cash

contributions such as this will have to be. That is the reason we always have to devise other means for fulfilling out charitable obligations. You and Helen will have to earn the six dollars. I am sure we can think of some way to do It. Perhaps when Helen's club meets tomorrow they might have something to suggest that you can all do.” When ' Henry returned from the office he was wearing a very good looking pair of shoes. * "They set me back $6.30,” he ventured, “but they were marked down from $10.50 and as they are soft and comfortable I think they are a bargain.” Mrs. Hooper's family wag very fond of buckwheat cakes —not the kind made from "self-raising” flour, but the olds ishloned “yeast raised” griddle cakes. So before retiring she prepared some for breakfast. She took one-half of a compressed yeast cake dissolved in one-fourth

HAD ODD HABIT; ATE PIE FIRST

Mrs. Gertrude Holspeter. Why does this girl eat her pie first? Perhaps she Is following the rule of a great European statesman, of whom it was said that he always ate his pie first. In doing so this statesman reverses a worldwide custom. No doubt this is a good one to follow, because it avoids the danger of overloading the stomach. It Is safe to say that not one-tenth of one per cent of the people will follow this method of eating, even though they are warned that it would often prevent such ills as Indigestion, constipation, sick headaches, dizzy spells and other ailments. To the man or woman who has contracted stomach, liver or bowel troub’e, through carelessness, or in some manner which was absolutely not preventable, thousands of people who live right here in Indianapolis say, “Take Pepgen.” Statements w r hich have been re-

of a cupful of warm water, one and onehalf cupfuls of buckwheat flour, ono-half cupful of white flour, on# cupful of water, two tabieapoonfnla of molasses and one teaipoonful of salt. Mixing these ingredients, she stirred them well and left them in a warm place over night to rise. Her menu planned for Friday was as follows: MENU. BREAKFAST.

cently published in local newspapers 1 from many of our leading citizens i tell what Pepgen is doing here. Pepgen is a preparation composed , of a various number of different j kinds of roots and barks. Although the people who live in j this city are enthusiastic about Pep- 1 gen, they are no more enthusiastic | than people living in other cities. The following story from Mrs. Gertrude Holspeter, 18 Vfe North Ninth street, Richmond, Ind., furnishes a good example of what is thought of Pepgen there. She says: “I suffered with nervous indigestion and at times had pains in my stomach that were almost unbeara ble. At such times I was compelled to go to bed and I could do nothing j but toss and roll and moan. I often thought I could not stand the misery. Many nights my mother has sat up attending me. “I discovered that rich foods made my trouble worse, so I was careful what I ate. At one of our leading drug stores on Main street they told me about Pepgen. They said they had so many good reports about the j medicine that they thought it would help me. I tried It. It helped me. “I am eating whatever I desire. I j am very thankful for Pepgen. It is ! wonderful to me to be able to eat a hearty meal, get a good night’s sleep j and feel strong in general."
