CHEAP AND WHOLESOME FOOD
Three Square, Palatable Meals That
Can Be Provided for Nine
Cents a Day.
The health board’s experience last
winter with the unemployed in the
lodging houses and improvised shel
ters has led it to the firm conclusion
that, given careful management,
wholesale buying, good use of ma
terials and other conditions, three
square, wholesome, palatable meals a
day may be furnished for less than
nine cents a day. On the nine-cent
basis the blessings of' a bath, a doctor
in case of need and a clean bed were
added to the solution of the food
problem.
An examination or tne aauy menu
prescribed causes no disappointment.
A breakfast of bread and butter, cof
fee (with sugar), and molasses is de
cidedly satisfactory. It is, in fact,
the must-praised “continental'5
breakfast slightly modified, and the
question of its sufficiency resolves it
self into one of quantity and quality.
Where these are adequate the reason
able man will be entirely reconciled.
The same may be said about the
dinner and the supper. Of course,
man does not live by meat stew alone
for dinner, or mutton soup thickened
alone for supper. He craves some
variety. But no doubt science and
art are equal to the solution of this
problem, too, after their success with
the paramount problem of cost.—

LOOKING AHEAD.
“Now that I have provided you
with a good dinner,55 said the kind
lady, “will you saw some wood for
me ?’’
“Madam,” replied the hobo from
Boston, “nothiiig would afford me
more pleasure than abbreviating tim
ber for you, but in behalf of posteri
ty I am compelled to decline.55
“But what has posterity got to do
with it?55 queried the k. 1.
“It’s like this, madam,55 explained
the self-conducted tourist. “With the
revolutions of the whirligig of time
my grandchildreta may become multi
millionaires, and if their daughters
have occasion to purchase titles it
will be so much more pleasant f
them to be able to say that th
great-grandfather was a gentlem

HAD THE BUSINESS INSTINCT
Seemingly Unanswerable Argument
Put Forward by Mose to Well
Meaning Critic.
Mr. Carmack, until recently sena
tor from Tennessee, enjoys telling
the story of a darky in that state,
who, in a way, is something of a
philosopher.
Some one was saying to Mose one
day: “You’re always in trouble.
Mose. Why, can’t you try to be bet
ter? You’re a likely sort of darky,
and you could get along very well if
only you’d behave yourself—keep a
steady job, instead of drinking bad
whisky and getting yourself behind
I the bars half the time.”
“Excuse me, boss,” said Mose,
with a grin, “but it looks to me like
I makes more money this way. When
T works hard I gets seven dollars a
month and my board. When" I gits
arrested the jedge he says to me that
it will be ten dollars or 30 days.
How kin I afford to work for seven
dollars a month when I’m worth ;
; three dollars more in de lock-up?” |

DISCRIMINATION.
“They have got the. ‘down with
women’ sentiment pat at ray board
ing house,” said a business woman.
“If it is a woman, the ‘alking waiter
yells down the dumbwaiter, ‘Bacon
and eggs fo’ a lady.’ Up comes one |
egg, one roll, and piece oi bacon as
big as a postage stamp. If it is a
man, he calls down, ‘One breakfast.’
Up comes two eggs, two generous
slices of bacon, two rolls, and if
there ris meat besides, a piece of
meat. But we girls almost went on
a strike the other morning when we
found before our plates saucers con
taining just three wizened prunes,
and before each man’s plate a saucer
I with four prunes. I think it is dis
criminating pretty close when they
give a man one more prune than
they give a woman, don’t you?”
