last dish to the butter and honey. Wliat do 

 yon suppose such a meal costs? Why, I 

 would almost undertake to feed a hungry 

 family of ten, with 10 cents' worth of wheat, 

 sugar, and milk. Well, now, good friends, 

 you who are trying to save money by close 

 living, even this is not all. If you substitute 

 nice white corn in place of the wheat, you 

 have another dish for variety, and this costs 

 only about half as much as the wheat does. 

 Warm ui) these corn loaves with milk, pep- 

 per, salt, and a little butter, and you have an 

 excellent breikfast dish. I h-^ive just been 

 talking of taking our lunch-room over to the 

 fair grounds next fall, to show them how 

 quickly our smart girls can feed a multitude 

 with the good things God has provided for 

 us, and that, too, at a price that will aston- 

 ish as much as did the household conven- 

 iences last fall. '' Lou " says if we will give 

 her steam to cook and wash the dishes, and 

 plenty of help, she can manage it. 



Butter anihonpy shaU he eat, that he may know 

 to refuse the uvil, au<l choose the good.— Isa. T:1u.
