Said a woman to me last week, just on that very matter, “I wish that the storekeepers here put what I owe at tf 9 top t" each bill. I tell you when you see every time what you are al- ready owing it keeps you from spend- ing a lot of money." Then there are the little things that slip away with money all unsus- pected. Long distance telephone calls for instance. When the toll charges Come in it is no use to call up central and begin an argument that you did not talk on such a date and that if you did, you have been overcharged. There is an automatic system of reg- i‘itering that prevents the telephone company from h a v i n g too It is so easy to order tor four weeks tiiorn the grocer and bummer, never to worry-about hiyysr the bill is mounting up, and to find that when the month has slipped away that the grocer will reguire twice what you had anticipat- ed, While the bonnet- bill is beyond all reason. As Mrs. Housekeeper “watches that sum increase at the head of the bill day by day,, she will be reminded to keep it as small as possible. This is the idea: "Balance due $2.60, steak 50c.” Next time the order comes to the house the little bill reads: "Ba.Unce due $3.10, veal 75c.” _ I Canned Beans ~Wash and string fresh picked beans, leave whole or cut in inch pieces as desired.

PRACTICAL IN EVERY HOME ------_ Although the cost of seed that is I used in planting a vegetable garden is Ismail compared with the returns, it is .very easy to grow the seed one’s self ;and moreover, it pure seed of a good strain is produced at home, one is lsurer what is required. Did you ever play the game of “seeing what you can do Without?” It is a very fascinating one. The best dressed Woman I Know, and she is Very fond of clothes, is an expert at the play ot going without and making what she has do. I have seen her, after she has announced that she simply must have another dress or suit or waist, pull open the door of her wardrobe, and enumerate what she has, close the door, and say with an air of finality, "Well, I don't see that I deed any more clothes as long as I have those." Her air is final, and I know that she has a growing bank account. _ much worry about such matters. They can trace a call a month after it hasbeen made for you. The way to get even with the company is to put away the amount of the call im- mediately after you have finished. When‘the tolls come in, there will be the money in the little china pitcher, ready to send to the office. Better still, don't bother with the phone, sit down and Write a letter. The former will cost you up to a dollar for what you can put in a letter for three cents. Every cent saved is part of a dollar on the way to the bank. I h Don't you love the memory of the homes that you knew as a child ? The charm of them was their unchange- ableness. The same furniture, the same curtains and carpets, the same pictures in all the rooms, greeted you at each successive visit. It was the willingness to preserve that sameness that gave your hostess a chance to entertain you, and provide you with a memory that will endure with your life. She was willing to keep her, home unchanged, she was willing to lake extraordinary care of her possessions, and she put the money she saved in the bank. Then when you went to see her, she charmed you with a man-, ner that was tree from worry over} money spent that she should have kept, the atmosphere was free from restraint, she gave you simple fare that you enjoyed, and will always re- member the charming, carefree at- mosphere of that home, and treasure the picture ot it which you hung on memory's wall. Seed of most varieties of vegetables can be grown at home of as, good or better quality than is the imported seed, but to ensure having good seed it should be saved from the best plants rather than from those which happen Hospitality has changed. People do not feel free to visit as they once did. Morey looms like a gaunt spectre at evisrttneetiir-of friends. An Ameri- can rarer oeme out recently with 'a long: ann, pithy article, coaxing women to talk of what they can do without, instead of what they have been trep- ting; of what they have been saving instead of what they have been spend- ing. of ways of beating the high cost of living instead of letting it be known that they were quiescent Vic- tims, of the fact that womerraig tak- ing their proper place as guardians of the family purse, and joint author's of the writings in the, family‘bank,» books. _ Ne ' Stewed fresh gooseberries are der, cious when prepared in the following; way: Combine three cupfuls of goose» berries, one and one-fourth cupi‘ulc of water, and one, cupful of sug’ai.

Plunge in cold water for onea minute and pack in hot sterilized Jars, using teaspoon salt to one quart sealer. Continue and cook as for ca:- rots {or three successive days. _ SAVING HOME GRO‘WN SEED ,--_..---..‘... Stewed Gooseberries 1 mg the largest crop of early and best .1‘luit. The tomatoes are cut in half ‘and the pulp pressed out into some vessel, adding about one-third its volume of water. Put in a dark rOOIn until fermentation sets in, which will I be in about two days,, when the seed lWill separate_readily from the pulp. It is then washed out and spread out to d1y but not in the sun. When dry, store in paper bags until needed. 5 The seed of other vegetables can also easily be saved, and there are many persons in Canada who have 3 their own specially selected strains 01 ; different sorts. -"Rivers," said the American, Compared with our Hudson and Mis- sissippi your Mersey, Severn and Thames are sleepy, sickly streams." "Oh, comer." protested the English- man. "I think your rivers are Just as sickly as ours." “How do you make that out?" "Well, they are all confined to their beds," tep1ied the visitor. "Take all," as the name implies, takes all and is probably the most serious wheat disease known with the exception of rust. In' certain eoun- tries, indeed, it is the more serious, as as it is emphatically claimed by the practical grower as well as the scien- tific observer. The recognition in the field is not difficult,. "Take all" is a root disease spreading from below up the stem for about one to two inches, discoloring the stem dark brown. The affected plants' may be pulled up very easily, their anchorage in the ground is very loose as compared to a sound plant. The affected ,plants turn yel- low and finally die, taking straw and (Experimental Farms Note.), l Aside from rust and smut, Canadian wheat crops have oeenlaund remark- ably free from destructive plant dis- eases. Recently, however, there have been discovered in the U. S. A. two new diseases, "Flag smut" and "Take all," about the presence of which there has been felt considerable a- larm. Now unto the time of writing, 'Canada has not been invaded by either ot these, new troubles. ' But growers should be ever on the lookout tor these and any other obscure trouble with which their practice has not made them thoroughly familiar. "Flag 'cs,1j,s,li1,1,ts"', so called because the smut occh' rs on the flags or leaves of the wheat, is easily recognised by the long streams of smutty stripes running along the leaves. The affected plants also show a peculiar tangled and twisted appearance as if the leaves were wound around the stem. Any suspicious plant should be sent to the Division ot Botany, Experimental Farm, Ottawa. all. Both diseases are most likely con- veyed by infected seed grain, hence it is mbst important to i“nip these dis- eases in the bud" and report all sus- picious cases at once. The use of t'Dr.- eign wheats for seed is cautioned a- gainst; particularly wheat from Aus- tralia is under suspicion. The local Police Department of Oshawa sent up a large consignment of liquor to Toronto last month,totall- ing in all three cases, seven cases, and fourteen crooks. .

Itiiierve a few feet of the row of beans for seed, or, better still. mark a few productive plants that are free from disease.and do not pick green beans from them. Quickness of dry- ing is important withuoeaniand peas, as with most seed, and it should be cleaned and kept dry until the fouow- ing 'spring. If seed is damp it is liable to mould and lose its germinating power. For this reason it is particularly import- ant in the case of corn to dry the seed thoroughly and rapidly. When corn becomes ready for use, a few of the earliest and best developed ears should be marked to be,left until ripe for seed. A few plants ot peas left to mature without picking any green pods from them will furnish enough seed tor the garden next year. to have been left in the garden un- used. Regulating Pill for Women.
