Since the cost of living began perceptibly to soar my wife and I have concluded to meet the exigency as follows: We have three children, for whom she makes all the clothing. My wife Is a great lover of ice cream and picture shows, but upon the birth of the third child she voluntarily waived these delicacies. Figuring out how much these apparently trivial items amounted to, we found that after a year's abstinence we were ahead about $22.50. I work hard all the week myself, and a. car ride on Sunday, especially during the warm weather, has an Irresistible attraction for me, but this luxury I abandoned upon the last child's arrival.

and I substitute a long walk, which I find economical from physical as well as a financial standpoint. We figured this to be a saving of $5 annually. The $5 and that $22.60 we divert to other channels, and. although in the beginning these ascetic habits of abstinence made the world look dreary, as time passes the deprivation becomes not alone less intense but sweeter. In my younger days my parents endowed me with more or less of an education, which now I put to practical use by contributing short stories and translations from the French and Italian to various magazines, a pastime which pays me about $20 a year.

The three children being of the female persuasion. the idea suggested itself: "Will this asceticism be enough." Finding that as they grow older women are more expensive items than men. we resolved, in addition to the aforementioned abstinence, to practice that of entirely eliminating butter from the meals, in the place of which we now use jellies and marmalades made at home. Upon the arrival of the third valuable addition to the family, instead of hiring more help In the shape of another hired girl, we dispensed with the one we had, this elimination saving $96 a year in cash as well as e. year's board.

Much against my wishes my wife has given up picture shows and has taken, like myself, to the more economical and healthful practice of walking. She, as well as the writer, is becoming far more healthy as a consequence, and the possibility of doctor's bills is thus negatived. This, too, is a saving in advance. We like our ascetic life so well that if the cost of living should tomorrow come down to normal we doubt whether our in- nner of living would be affected much thereby. When the high cost of living has to be reckoned with, the task of combating it must be shouldered with determination an philosophy.

In this game one of the players represents a fox and another a hen with a large brood of chickens. The fox is hungry and is anxious to secure one of the chickens for his supper, but the hen ruffles up her feathers, spreads her wings.

and makes a desperate effort to protect her brood, who all cluster her. holding each other's coat tails or skirts by both hands. But the fox is determined and the poor hen has a hard fight, her frightened brood swaying from side to side with every movement of her outspread wings. If the fox is successful the chicken who is caught becomes the new fox and the old fox becomes the new hen-Chinese Wise Sayings. One hill cannot keep two tigers.

ROME. Feb. 19.The celebrated basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere is subsiding and threatens to collapse. The subsoil has become water soaked and this caused the building to settle. The walls have been temporarily shored up.

This famous church is said to have been built by CalIxtu I. on the identical spot where a spring of oil miraculously- sprung up at the time of the birth of Chritrt. It is referred to as far back as the year 490. It was rebuilt by Pope Innocent II. about the year 1140 and was consecrated by Pope Innocent III.

about the year 1198. A veetibule was added by Pop, Clement XI. in 1702, and further restcratIons were made between 18416 and 1874. It contains some valuable paintings and mosaics. There are two Annunciations in the vestibule, one of wbich is attributed to Pletrd Cavallini.

That's the "reason why" behind the installation of Gas Ares in Chicago factories. A "Factory Gas Arc" is 400 candle power strong less than one cent's worth of gas will run a single are One hourand four arcs will light a room of 1,200 square feet. That's 1,200 candle power for approximately four cents per hour.

Same volume of light from any other source would cost almost double. The possible saving is a mighty big itemit runs from hundreds in small factories to thousands in big ones. The skeptics first step is a "test installation:" then a simple subtraction of light b'll totals at the end of the month. It's the way our biggest customers secured figures of their own. Read how these customers were impressed with their own deductions: John M.

Smyth 701 W. Madison tested one Gas Arc. For six months they analyzed the volume of light and compared its cost with other illuminants. When the deductions were made and the figures set down the firm ordered us to install 27. This installation at the Madison street store proved so economical that they ordered 301 more Gas Arcs for their building at '663 to 705 W.

Washington making the best-lighted mail-order house in Chicago. Moeller Brothers, 1276 Milwaukee tried one Gas Arc for ninety days with the usual result they figured out the economy and gave us a second order for 51then later a third order for they have 103. Lamm 570 W. Adams tested .8 Gas Arcs for thirty days. The result brought us a second order for 136 morethen later still 13 morenow the Lamm building is one of the most brilliantly and economically lighted in the factory eistrict.

Morris Goldsmith, 700 W. Jackson wanted to light big space for little money. He tried modern Gas Arcs, and ordered 155, then sent us additional orders from time to time, until the total installation is now 225 Gas Arcsof 400 candle powtr each. These are typical cases selected from a total of 20,000 factories in Chicago now lighted with Gas Arcs. These factories take no chancesthey don't buy the Gas Arcs they rent them and we care for every single light and keep it no to its maximum brilliancy.
