(IWHOI. • ■■ f •, — . _ ! / HELPED OUT OF TIGHT PLACE Woman Worries Now Over Mystery of Taxicab Where Before She Worried About Bill. “Just as I am beginning to feel that life is unprofitable, dull and stale something happens to reconcile me to existence,” said a pretty girl. “Take tbe affair of the taxicab; that was about the strangest thing that ever happened to me. I went calling in a taxi. The woman I called on had so much to say and took so much time to say It that the last five minutes of my stay I couldn't listen to a word she said for counting to myself the rate at which that taxi cab was eating up money. ‘Six dol lars and ninety-fire cents,’ I figured, finally, and bolted desperately. Just as I reached the sidewalk another woman equally desperate shot out of the adjoining apartment house. “ ‘Have you engaged thla cab?' she said. ‘Please latrine take it I am in a great hurry, y I cannot wait for an other.’ “ ‘I have had It for an age,’ I said. ‘I owe—’ “ ‘That’s all right’ the woman In terrupted. ‘1 will pay it.’ “A roll of bills in her hand showed that she was financially equal to the demands of a waiting taxicab. The driver nodded acquiescence in the change of passengers, the woman jumped into the cab and away they went. I went back to make Inquiries of my friend, but she could tell me nothing on the subject In which 1 was then vitally interested—the identity of the woman next door. It was a big apartment house through whose doors a hundred women pass each day, and probably we never shall find out who the woman was or why she was In such a desperate hurry.” CHEESE A VALUABLE DIET Could With a Large Degree of Satis faction Be Made to Take the Place of Meat. In America, unfortunately, cheese seems to be regarded more as a lux ury than as a staple article of diet, yet one pound of cheese is equal in food value to two pounds of meat. It is rich in both protein and fat. Con sidering this, its price is very low, and it ought to do good service in the place of meat. Its food value is fully recognized abroad. In Switzer land and to a great extent in Germany and Italy, cheese Is a part of the daily food given to the outdoor labor ers in the place of meat. A great ad vantage in using cheese, and one that should appeal strongly to the ovetv worked housewife, is that it is gen erally given uncooked. There is some doubt as to the digestibility of cheese. It is claimed by noted German scien tists that, v.hcn taken in the usual quantity—from one-fourth to one-half pound daily—and by people who lead an active outdoor life, it is about as easily digested as meat. For the aver age person, who takes but little out door exorcize, cheese is hard to di gest. This is true of most kinds as purchased in our market, but the home-made cottage cheese, often call ed clabber cheese, is an exception. This diEh is easy to prepare and ia very economical where there is a home supply of milk. It is a good way to use up the overplus of sour milk on the farm. Cottage cheese makes a nice tea or supper dish, snd is so pal atable and nutritious. Alphabet for China. Chinese scholars who are dissatis fied with the ideographic characters in which their language has always been written have set out to form an alpha bet, which they hope to see gradually adopted by their countrymen. According to a writer in the New York World, Chow Hi Chu, secretary of the Chinese legation at Rome, as sisted by Messrs. Wan and Chou, sub eccretaries, and by Signor Rivetta, pro fessor of Japanese and Chinese at the Oriental institute of Naples, is at work on the project. The latter gives this description of the alphabet that has resulted from their labors: "To represent exactly all the sounds of the Chinese language, we had to draw upon almost all existing alpha bets. The alphabet we have composed consists of 42 characters, cf which 23 are vowels and 19 are consonants. Of the vowels, four are taken from the Greek, four from the Russian, fire from the Latin and one from tha Chi nese. Of tha nine others, two are W'hat we ceil ‘modified’ or ‘prolonged,’ and seven are reversed. "Of the consonants, 14 are taken from the Latin, three from the Rus sian and two from the Greek."— Youth’s Companion. Misfit Labels. "Economizing sometimes produces ludicrous results," a woman said. “When we moved last October we used travelers’ tags to label the kitchen supplies, and when we went traveling in May we tried to save money by using those same tags which, as luck would have It, hap pened to get fastened on wrong side up, and when we got down to the pier all our luggage was labeled ’Sugar,' ‘Flour,’ ‘Prunes,’ ’Bread,’ and ‘Roast Pork,’ instead of Laura, Margaret, and Pauline Smith, and although we finally got straightened out, you really can not blame the crew for slyly poking fun at us all the way over." Change In Wireless Operation*. On vessels having but one wireless operator. It will be hereafter neces sary to train a member of the crew to-act as a relief to attend the Instru ment for ten minutes during each hour to detect any distress signals. Peter F. Hansen In remitting for the Northwestern another year from Los Angeles, says: “We are enjoying tne nice weather in California just fine.” Pete must be haring a good time as be does not hint of returning home.
