SCIENTIFIC BILL OF FARE.
A Good, Wholesome Meal Need Cost
No More Than 22 Cents—
An Experiment.
To live luxuriously on GG cents
a day has been made easy by the
department of domestic science at
Teachers’ college, Columbia uni
versity. Meals at 22 cents apiece
have been prepared, and, what is
more to the point, eaten with ap
parent relish by unbiased per
sons, says the New York Sun.
In addition, the chemical constit- j
uents in the food have been care- j
fully weighed and measured, and
it has been discovered that
enough proteids, fats and carbo
hydrates exist in the 22-cent meal
to support men working with the
customary expenditure of force.
At least, the text-books say that
the quantities are all right.
The manner in which the discov
ery was made is somewhat as fol
lows: Dean Russell planned a
luncheon to some friends, and
thought it would be a clever idea
to have the meal prepared by the
department of domestic science.
The teachers laid out the plan of
battle and the students did the
cooking.
The luncheon was served to six
persons. The total cost of materi
als was $2.02, from which was de
ducted the value of the food not
actually consumed. This brought
the total cost down to $1.28 for the
six Dersons.
This was the menu:
Grapefruit .$ .26
Baked haddock .68
Hollandaise sauce .10
Potatoes on the half shell.13
Rolls .17
Butter .08
Pickles .04
Tea .02
Lettuce salad.16
Wafers ..01
Cheese .10
Pineapple Sherbet.24
Angel cake .13
Total .$2.03
The food value of the things con
sumed amounted to 6,491 calories.
This made the average amount
consumed 1,081.8 calories. Ac
cording to the textbook prepared
by Mrs. Ellen H. Richards, of the
Boston Science school, only 956.3
calories are necessary to sustain
men and women working moder
ately hard.
Miss M. B. Vail, Insructor in do
mestic science at Teachers’ col
lege, who had charge of the lunch
eon, says that 22 cents would be a
fair average for all meals, so that
persons who pay more than
$240.90 a year are doing injustice
to themselves and their pockt
bo"Oks.
THE BOASTER SUBSIDED.
Drummer Bragged of (letting a Big
Order, Then Was Cleverly Ex
posed by a Joker.
The habitues of a certain sub
urban hostelry had long been
weary of the boastful chatter of
an intermittent guest of the com
mercial fraternity, and it was
with rare satisfaction that they
fecentlv saw him annihilated, so
to speak, says the New York
Times.
“Had a splendid day,” he opened
up as usual; “spent an hour in
; old Simons’ store over in Rye and
came out with a $2,000 order.”
He produced a notebook in sub
stantiation, as ‘Old Simons’” atti
tude toward gentlemen of his ilk
was well known, and the incredul
ity of his audience was not
masked. The notebook was hand
ed around for inspection and halt
ed with a gray-haired stranger
over in the corner.
“Oh, yet—the entry’s all right
enough,” he said, mildly, “but—
it’s very strange!”
“What’s strange?” demanded
the commercial man of might.
“Why, how it got there. I have
no recollection of giving any such
order, and if you will kindly tell
me which of my employes author
ized it you will be conferring a fa
vor upon me. You evidently don’t
recognize me as Mr. Simons, of the
Rye firm, but—”
But the erstwhile boaster had
wilted out of sight. His quondam
victims roared with delight.
“I say, that’s rich!” exclaimed
one of them; “it’s worth $50 to see
you take him down like that, Mr.
Simons!”
“I didn’t say I was Mr. Simons,
sir,” returned the meek-looking
stranger; “in fact, I don’t know
the gentleman—any more thaD
the young man himself did!”
Wise Men and Fools.
As the wise man knows he is a
fool he is miserable; the fool imag
ines he is wise and is happy.

do so if yon will boy

KEYSTONE OF X
Kimball Piano ^
STRUCTURE.
The szale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassazle quality, Ihe founda"
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a sezond. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reajhed the goal,
Kimball is Prominent.
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the zultivated human voice. An
inperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not / —-»
Jlaim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of olher of Ihe
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, qualily considered
The Kimball System and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all.
