If th" price is rlsht. Beware o' bacon aa it is th' avowed enemy o' cheaper livln'. Green lima prepared clear th" liver with fine effect, an' add pep V th' husband, or other main nupport. Egffs are really cheap at thirty cents a dozen, but at least peven should be good. But t' return V rice. Rice as yit Is in its Infancy as an American food an little understood. One' o' th' very flrttt. things we learned at school wuz: 'Rice is th' chief food o' th' crowded inhabitants o' Bankok.' Perhaps th' people o' Bankok are not as particular aa th" people o' Kokomo an' other parts of America, but they are noted for their endurance an' agility. Th' Japs took Port Arthur on a rice diet. Th' great, muscular coolies, th' beasts o' burden o' C'hlny, subsist on rice, an' ther Is no reason why th' average eight-hour husband couldn't do th same thing, with perhaps a prune or two an' a cup o' parched pea coffee. Ther's lots o' ways f save in th' kitchen. We kin all plant an' tend a garden. Ther Is no reason why we shouldn't harvest a pec! of p'tafera where one dahlia grew before. Three crops o' string beans may be raised In a season. O' course in th' matter o' string beans, cabbage, turnips an' other garden truck, th' ole spectre o' smoked pork looms up. It has long been th' accepted seasonin' fer such dishes. But let us hope that, a substitute fer snioked pork will lie one. o' th' blessin'a t' come o" th' war. In the matter o' finery an' amusement we kin all skimp an' skimp freely. All we gain in short skirts we stick right back in fancy hose. Besides, short skirts have a tendency t" create a demand on our time by some of us havin' too much attention paid to us, thereby lo.sin' sleep an' irupairin' our efficiency fer th' work which is before us. Some homely girls that used t' git lonesome now git by on other points. Let us effect longer sksts an' go back t' cheap skuffy hose. Ix?t us be satisfied with one film per week an' use our ole phonergraph records over again. Th' fumes o' ham an' eggs that used V come from th' humble workman's cottage have been replaced by th' rich, full notes o' Caruso an' others while th' tired father sits in th' doorway and gnaws a turnip. Women have a fine chance in this war f teach th' doubtin' Thomases lhat they are capable o' somethin' greater than powderin ther noses :in" showia' ther shins." "I still think th' best way f cut down th' high cott o" livio is by visi'in ," said .Mrs. Lem Pusey, as she left th hall.

NO MEAT OX FRIDAYS. Something has got to be done about the meat supply, for as the war goes on prices will go up. Over in Europe they have helped to ameliorate conditions by having meatless days. A Chicago hotel will Berve no meat on Fridays. Millions of people whose religious beliefs deter them from eating meat on this day do likewise. Probably if the custom were generally adopted the period when we will have enforced meatless days, not four but several each month, may be staved off for a long time to come.

SCHOOLBOYS OX FARMS. A Lake county farmer has engaged a couple of high school boys to come to work on his farm, beginning May 1. They wilt be a great help when manual labor is so scarce.

They will also get paid, they will be at a useful occupation, in a healthful place and will gain mentally and physically. But above all they will be helping to serve the nation. Let there be more school boys going to the farms and truck gardens this summer.
