Harper's Weekly, in a discussion up¬ on the use of food, says: "A vast deal we waste by bad cooking, a vast deal more by bad management and bad do¬ mestic habits." The cooking school held in the Parish House every' Satur¬ day at noon under the able manage¬ ment of Miss Huger, an expert in do¬ mestic science, is the most practical answer which may be found to this criticism and especially does it recom¬ mend itself when everybody is talking about how to meet the conditions exist¬ ing on account of the high price of food stuffs. The school has enrolled about 25 members and is ready to lend its help to any of the girls and women of Merrick. There is no charge at¬ tached to the instruction.
Do our people know what an excel-1 lent little library we have here, cor. I of Merrick and Kirkwood Aves?

The library is in charge of Miss Lina Miller and is open Satur¬ day afternoons from 2.30 to 4.30.

A patent butter and milk mixer, not yet perfected will be re¬ ported later. Mike says it will be all right. j
The S. S. A. C. Basket-Bail Team played the Merricks, last Thursday eve-1 ning at Merrick, and R. E. Hilton, one of the payers is suffering with a sprained ankle.^ The boys had them beaten to a frazzle in the first half with a score of 10 to 3 in their favor, but owing to Mr. Hilton's accident, the team was badly crippled in the last half and was beaten by a score of 23 to 14. Hilton is an old time play¬ er, who plays the game with great skill, while the other boys are new to the game. They are getting into shape fast and look very promising. They will play the Lindenhurst team at Lindenhurst next week. Good luck boys! Good weather is coming and your own building will be finished so you can return these games at home and have some of the advantages that others are now having.

I Harper's Weekly, in a discussion up¬ on the use of food, says: "A vast deal we waste by bad cooking, a vast deal more by bad management and bad do¬ mestic habits." The cooking school held in the Parish House every' Satur¬ day at noon under the able manage¬ ment of Miss Huger, an expert in do¬ mestic science, is the most practical answer which may be found to this criticism and especially does it recom¬ mend itself when everybody is talking about how to meet the conditions exist¬ ing on account of the high price of food stuffs. The school has enrolled about 25 members and is ready to lend its help to any of the girls and women of Merrick. There is no charge at¬ tached to the instruction. Do our people know what an excel-1 lent little library we have here, cor. I of Merrick and Kirkwood Aves?
