know, and It Is the duty of every house

truth Is, however, that few women know
how, and this,, book was written to gWe
the Information they need. It is entitled
'Four Thousand Ways to Save Money,'
arid yon pay a dollar down and then a

"That's a fine way to save money, I
must say," Interrupted Mrs. Curfew,
scornfully. "Pay a dollar down and a

"If your book was any' good you would
read It and save some money yourself.
and then you wouldn't .have to be an

"I don't want to "know 4,000 ways to

"Just as I. entered the room that old'

kicked down' the hanging - lamp and

EASY ENOUGH TO BE POOR
Jnst Think of Thing Ton Cannot
Afford Forget 'Em and
Re Illch.
fntll we get so rich that our wealth Is
a bore, it la very easy to be poor com
paratively poor, of course, for that Is
the way we do It As long as we are a
little poorer than somebody w know, and
aj long as there aro things that we can
hot afford wo aro poorer because wp think
that wo are. If you make J10J a month,
you may have to' uso a bosoburncr.
Surely, It Is a poor man who can not af
ford a furnace. If you make $300 a month
you may not be ablo to live In a ISO apart
ment and It Is a poor man who has to take
care of his own furnace. It you make
$400 a month you may forget about fur-
nace.- but may still run your own car.
and, of coarse. It Is a poor roan "who has
only one car. Beyond that estimate we
should have to begin to theorizo but you
can-probably go a long way beyond that
and still be poor. Uelng poor Is the
easiest thing we do. We do not need the
high cost of living to help us. All w
need Is to think about the things we can
not afford instead of about the things we
can afford.
One woman who can not afford" porter
house steak, said that she had found a
cook book that told how to moke a beity-
titui imitation, a few cupfuls of ground
meat were to bo arranged with strips of
suet and a bone. Tho Imitation cost al
most as much as the porterhouse, and
resembled It no more than an oil painting. 1
If the- woman had Just- forgotten all about
tend "openings" to look at costly Im
ported fantasies of fashion and try to
Imitate them, women will be poor. As
long as men compare their satarles with
those of other men. they mill be poor.
Of course. It Is difficult not to be poor,
but It Is possible. N'obody wants to eat
rice and canned salmon all the time, but
mush la good, and soup bones are stilt
attainable, if wo aro determined not to
be poor we must not only stop thinking
of tho things we eat and wear, but we
must stop thinking of tho things our
frlenls eat and wear. Moreover, wn must
hot rare what the neighbors thlnkr about
what we cat and wear, and wo must be
willing to offer our friends canned salmon
nnd rice and mush. The high cost of llv
Ig has threatened American hospitality
Wo can save It by feeding our guests
mush and milk. Most of us have been
poor long enough. Why not forget about
the things wo con not afford and so be
rich again? Indianapolis News.

A discussion has arisen recently over
the brain capacity of the ancient person,
fragments of whoso skuh were dug up
In England not long ago and became
known as the Plltdown skull. The first
reconstruction, of tho skull Indicated an
exceedingly small brain caplclty. Mut
when a famous anatomist, Dr. Arthur
Keith, oxamlned Into tho matter, he re
ported that a, proper reconstruction would
show a skull of normal size.
The fact Is that the anatomists haven't
found "nny particular, change In tile htj
