Grappling With Living Costs E. T. Meredith, the new secretary of agriculture, had hardly taken the oath of office before he was asked to give fyis attention to the high cost of living. This problem in the minds of most Americans overshadows all others. No wonder that he found his desk covered with letters and telegrams asking what he intended to do to solve the problem, "I am tempted to believe that the solution of the problem lies more in the hands of those interested in distribution and nonproductive enterprises than in the hands Of the farmers," was his

He believes that one reason for the big difference between the price received by the farmer and the price paid by the consumer is to be found in the number of "useless employes" engaged in the work of distribution. "Business men," he said, "must see that no useless employe is retained to add to the cost of distributing what the farmer now produces. Useless employes must be released from non-productive work that they may go into productive work. "Let us 'enjoy in America as highly developed a system of distribution and let this include all the professions, dostors, lawyers, teachers, as well as retailers, transportation, etc. as we now have, but let us cut out the useless member, the surplus one here and there, and give him an opportunity to become a producer upon the farm or in the factory. "If the entire country, all business and all labor, does not recognize this as a common problem and do those things which give the farmer a fair compensation for his efforts, conditions will not improve." Secretary Meredith is confronted with a gigantic task in solving a problem that vitally affects every citizen of the republic. The whole country hapes the new member of the cabinet may be able to do what others have failed to accomplish.

"What's in a Name?

Facts about your name: its history; Its meaning; whence It was derived; Its significance; your lucky day and lucky jewel. BY MILDRED MARSHALL

(Copyright. 1919, by The Wheeler j Syniicat. Jne.) PATTY. The charming name of Patty is not

a diminutive of Patricia as is popular-1 ly supposed, but comes, curiously j enough, from Martha. For that reason , it means "becoming bitter", deplte the j

fact that it has always been Bestowed on the sweetest heroines of classic fiction.

Patty has a certain sacred slgnlfl-;

cance, since it is derived from the Martha, who was one of the sisters of Bethanv. It was she who is said to have destroyed by the sheer power of her faith a fire eating dragon that attacked her family while they were on a pilgrimage. Although eho is popularly supposed to have been the Bister of Mary Magdalen, there is some doubt among historians on this score.

But however it may be, Martha was the forerunner of Patty, and gives to the latter name, not only a religious, flavor, but a good, old fashioned name, which has become almost synonomous with domesticity. A curious fact in her evolution is that she was derived through Russia, where Martha became Marfa under Slavic influences. The name was much used by the daughters of the imperial family, that it was necessary for England, r.nd later America, to evolve Patty as an endearment. Ireland set the seal of approval up

on Patty, preferring it to Martha J

whose only survival is in "ilao, queen of the fairies. Fiance rejects Patty, but uses Marthe and Marthon. Marta is the Italian version. Patty's talismanic gem is coral. It will give her strength, wisdom and bodily health, according to old superstition. But if she breaks a bit of her coral, its power vanishes as if the ppirit imprisoned therein had fled. Tuesday is Patty's lucky day and 7 is her lucky number.

PILCRIM'S PROGRESS IN SOCIETY. VIM. To make a hit in $5,000 a year rociety, such as Luella and, I atlect, it is absolutely necessary to have ancestors. Ancestors will bapen in the best of families but nowhere else. For instance, the James Frothingham Binks's have theirs traced away back to the flood. The original Binks was on the Ark, although the history of the time fails to mention him. Luella, in her moments of confidence. In the privacy of our own apartment, has whispered that, if there is anything in heredity, the original Binks was one of the simians. Soon after launching our frail bark upon the sea of society, Luella and I began looking for ancestors. A relative of Luella's tried to discourage

lier. This relative had tried to join the D. A. R. and had searched until she found that one of her Revolutionary ancestors had been shot for desertion and the other one was locked up for twelve years for snidglng on a government bean contract. After givins up Luella's line entirely, we concentrated on mine, and then our discoveries bepan. My ancestors pcemed to be swift movers. We would no sooner get one of them traced to Salem. Mass., than we found he had moved to Westbury. Ij. I. Finally, we cornered Great great-great Uncle Phlneas and. while he had unfortunately been shot for selling grog to the Indian?, he left a family record that reached away back to William the Silent and several miles beyond.

back he met the atationmagter. "What the merry springtime have you got on that dray?" he asked. "My fowl-house, of course," was the reply. "Fowl-house, be bothered!" was the justly indignant response; "that's the station!" "We arrived here after a long journey. The colored goods have arrived in excellent condition. The mes eenger has brought us snow and hail in good order. The storm came one day later. I am sorry that the thunder bust up, and the lightning we had to patch up also. The ocean and the river I wish you to send us as early as possible, and do not forget to send clouds and a new sun. But the most important thing we want Is a bay, as ours has been burned. Then we need a few yards of forest. Roll them all up and send immediately."

"I prepared breakfast for the family yesterday, then cleaned up .everything and swept the house, which is the first

time I ve been ablo to do such a thing

in years," declared Mrs. Ordie Speed, who lives on Greenwood Ave., Richmond, lnd.

"I have suffered from a bad stomach trouble. No matter how careful I

was about my food, it disagreed with me, and gas bloated me up; aching pains would strike me in my lower bowels, and I felt like there was a big lump in my throat which I could neither swallow or spit out. I was badly constipated and had to take some kind of medicine every night for the trouble. It vmsn't long until my kidneys began to bother me and I had awful backaches. Although I have taken much medicine, none seemed to fit my particular case." "Every, day I read In tho papers about what Dreco wag doing for people, suffering exactly like myself, so I got my husband to buy a bottle for me, and I believe the first dose helped me, for my stomach seemed to feel so much easier. I took it regularly by directions, and today I hardly recognize my own self, for I feel so much better. The constipation is entirely relieved, I never have a backache; my appetite is good and I eat enything I want, and never have the

gas nor pains in my stomach. My nerves are quieted and I sleep fine, and j

am gaming oacK my weight every day. There is nothing too good for me to say about Dreco." Dreco is now sold by all good druggists throughout the country and is highly recommended in Richmond by
