Polk county went overwhelmingly republican this week. Every republican on the whole ticket down to the township officers were elected. Certainly great praise should be given to Mr. A. B. Holliday, the chairman of the republican committee, because he worked like a trooper to land all his candidates and he succeeded. We congratulate him. IOWA REPUBLICAN Iowa has gone republican by a large majority, electing every member in both branches of the American congress and legislature is overwhelmed by republicans. Hon. A. B. Cummins was re-elected Uptown States senator by a plurality of more than 40,000, which places him in the front ranks as a candidate for president of the United States in 1916. He is certainly one of the most progressive and the father of the progressive idea and since that wave has swept the country it leaves Cummins as the republican standard bearer for 1916; therefore we place him in nomination and will submit our wishes to the majority of the republican constituency. REPUBLICAN VICTORY REPUBLICAN VICTORY Our general election last Tuesday, November 3rd, resulted in an overwhelming victory for the Grand Old Republican Party. It has been a refutation of the democratic inability to run this great government of ours successfully. It has been alleged by the republican party that the democratic party has been incompetent when given an opportunity and now they have shown their weakness. The first great act that they did was to reduce the tariff, and after they found that with such a reduction they could not meet operating expenses of the government they then sought to fool the people by levying an increased tax on the people under the false name of war tax when there is no war here, and the people refuted that at the polls. Another mistay that was made was raising the color question and discriminating against numbers of the American citizens because of color, which the American people are not ready to stand, and we hope that from now on all friends of the republican rule will unite and give the democrats a complete defeat in 1916.

"In some states the ballot has come to our women. We hope the day may soon dawn when all of us may enjoy this privilege. Jane Addams says: 'If woman should fulfill her traditional responsibility to her own children, she must bring herself to the use of the ballot, that latest implement for self-government.' I believe in woman suffrage because women are as integral a part of the commonwealth as man, and have equal social rights. But, sisters, what we need is to work hard and train ourselves to be fully prepared to use this privilege when it comes to us. "The temperance question is of vital importance to us. Sisters, let us work with renewed energy to rid the land of that which is doing so much to drag us down as a race. March 13, 1913, marked one of the most impressive scenes in our civic life in Baltimore, when hundreds, with little civic cities to protest against the reissuance of certain saloon licenses, and a woman of our race held them spellbound as she pleaded with them to chose those dens, for the children's sake. Thirteen saloons in that one district were closed and 200 in the city. "In the training of our children homes and fresh air camps are being established for the dependent ones, giris' homes for delinquency for girls and for negro districts.

A committee of seven Negroes representing the Colored Federated Charities appeared before County Judge Ward at Houston, Tex., and spoke in behalf of the boys in contemplation of which the sum of $5,000 was set aside in the budget. The delegation declared that a necessity for the institution existed despite the fact that the Gatesville institution was a suitable institution for the Negroes sent from this county. J. Dixie Smith, chief probation officer of Harris county, who recently paid to the Gatesville institution declared that the Harris county school was needed to care for juvenile delinquents who committed minor offenses. Judge Ward declared that the matter be taken up at an early session of the county commissioner's court and given due consideration. Chile will raise $10,219,650 this year for improvements on state railways and $22,921,215 for betterments will be raised in the next five years. The vast area of rich lands in Texas, her splendid climate, her generous laws and her warm-hearted citizens constitute a firm base upon which will be erected from year to year a commonwealth of unprecedented property. The instruction given in her agricultural colleges and the research work in her experiment stations will be carried to the people of the rural districts. Already the work of organization has begun and instruction and demonstration in agriculture and home economics in conformity with the provisions of the Smith-Lever bill, will inaugure the department of agricultural working farmer. Surely a good people of Texas must see an immediate and urgent need for this work among the people "furthest down." All the arguments in favor of extension work among any people anywhere apply with greater emphasis to the Negro farmer—Wade C. Rollins, in the Houston Post.

SOUPS THAT WILL BE LIKED For the Colder Days There Is Nothing Better Than That Made With Peas—Other Suggestions. To make thick pea soap wash and soak overnight one pint of split peas. Next morning put them into a pot with two quartes of water. Meantime fry until brown two sliced onions and a head of celery in two ounces of clarified dripping. Put them in the peas and two slices of bread cut diagonally, a teaspoonful of salt and half that amount of pepper. Bring to the boll, simmer for one and half hours, rub through a sieve, add one pound of mashed potatoes, return all to the boiling point. Strain it desired. If the soap is not thick enough add a tablespoonful each of flour and butter rubbed together and let the soup heat for five minutes longer. This soup is very nutritious and would take the place of meat. For a good cabbage soup remove the outer leaves from two small cabbages and cut into shreds with half a head of celery. Soak in boiling water for ten minutes, drain and cool in fresh boiling water for ten minutes. Once more drain and place in a pan with two pints of stock or water, one ounce of finely minced sweet potatoes and pepper. Bring the boil and simmer for fifteen or twenty minutes. Serve with grated cheese. Potato soup is good and cheap, especially if made without meat, although scraps of meat or gravy may be added if liked. Click three medium-sized potatoes into thin slices, add one small slice onion and a handful of rice. Boil in water sufficient to cover. Parsley heightens the flavor, but it should be lifted out when well cooked. When the potatoes are done blend a piece of butter the size of an egg with browned flour and stir it into the soup. This gives a rich color and appetizing flavor. Milk may be added, but it should be sparingly poured into the soup and peeled and other left-over vegetables to such soup. Drop dumplings are nice to serve with this soup. Take one egg, one-half eggshell of water, a pinch of salt and one teaspoonful of baking powder. Add enough flour to make a dough that will drop easily from a teaspoon. Remove when they rise to the top of the soup. REALLY FIRST-CLASS SOUP Ingredients and Directions for Making Vegetable Puree, Liked by Everybody. Any vegetable purée can be prepared as follows: Melt one ounce of well clarified dripping in a pan and cook in it till tender, but without coloring, four ounces of onions, two ounces of celery and a bunch of herbs; then in five minutes lay in one pound of potatoes, carrots, turnips, etc., according to what you wish to use, peeled and cut up; cover down the pan and let it continue to cook for twelve to fifteen minutes longer, shaking the pan now and again to prevent the vegetables burning; then add a quart of liquid, with a few permears and seasoning, and let it all boil for about an hour (or a half hours), then rub it through the sleeve, reheat, add a mixture of flour and milk and use. For the mixture rub a little flour, say a dessertspoonful, smooth with some cold milk, water or stock, then add this to the soup and let it all cook for five minutes longer. Aunt Nellie's Budding Flour, one cupful (half pound); salt, one pinch; chopped suet, one cupful (half pound); candied peel, a few strip; one egg; molasses, one cup; rind and juice of one-half milk; milk enough to mollusc. Mix all the dry ingredients, make imitation dry milk with the egg, molasses and lemon juice, adding the milk, if necessary. Steam for two hours. Pineapple Salad. Cut a ripe, mellow pineapple into slices, pare each slice and remove the exe. Sprinkle lightly with sugar and allow to stand a few hours to extract the juice. Drain and to the slices add one-half as much grapefruit, tart apple or seeded Malaga grapes. Arrange on lettuce leaves. Dress with mayonnaise and decorate with halved grapes or candied cherries. Old-Fashioned Doughnuts One egg well beaten, add two-thirds cupful of sugar, one-half cupful sour milk, one-half teaspoonful of soda dissolved in the milk, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one-fourth teaspoonful dry ginger and nutmeg, one-half teaspoonful cream of tartar sifted with the flour; try cupful and a half of flour, more if needed; roll out. These are delicious. Salad Oils. A decided salad oil economy is obtained by mixing with a quart of the pure cottonseed oil, a few ounces of pure olive oil for imparting richness of flavoring. The nutritive qualities of the two are about the same, and to be more palatable is in more appetizing than the rather pungent flavor of the plain olive oil. Worth Knowing. When broiling steak, brush with olive oil. It will keep in the juice. Always flour your pice tins instead of greasing them. You won't have soft pies, says the Janeville dasette. When broiling steak, warm days, but it will keep sweet if a pinch of carbonate of soda is added to every quart. Makes Glassware Shine. To keep clear and clean the glass decanter and carafe as well as the water pitcher there is nothing so effective as lemon juice. Cut up the rinds left after making lemonade, add warm water and place in decanter. After a few hours rinse thoroughly. A Tea Hint. If a lump of sugar is put in the tea pot when making tea it will prevent it spoiling the table cover if spilled IOWA STATE BYSTANDER Fundamental Principles of Health By ALBERT S. GRAY, M.D. VITAMINE FOODS. The fundamental difference between plants and animals is in their methods of feeding. Plants are essentially constructive and work up for themselves the simplest inorganic elements into food. Animals, on the other hand, are essentially destructive and can make use of these same elements only by destroying the combinations arranged by the plants and recombining an element. Animals are absolutely useless for animal food until they are once more worked up by the plants. All the carbohydrates, the starches and sugars, all the nitrogen compounds and the proteins, are ultimately provided for the whole animal world by the plant world. Obviously, we have here a cycle analogous to cycles to be found everywhere through out nature, from which we may—but seemingly will not—learn. In this cycle the animal is formed, in this cycle the most hopeless parasitic of all, because his sublime egism blinds him to the fact that he is but a single link in an incomprehensible chain of universal life. In our ignorance we have presumed to interfere with nature's plans, with dire results, and only very recently have we generally begun to suspect that the key to the solution of our serious ills, both physical and social, and covering disease, poverty and crime, is to be found in a comprehension of the subject of nutrition. Very obviously, then, the study of nutrition is worth while and must begin at the foundation, with the breathing and drinking of plants and their reactions to light, heat and gravitation. Eykeman in 1892 called attention to a peculiar relationship between berleri and polished rice, and he followed it up from time to time for some fourteen years. Gryns joined in the quest in 1910, and in 1920 Fraser and Stanley identified a corticle layer of rice contains a substance which cures berleri in man and the polyurethritis that is produced in birds by feeding them on polished rice. Then Casmirl Funk in 1911 isolated from the material ground from the surface of rice in polishing it a definite crystalline body with which he fed them in ordinary polished rice, and by feeding them on ordinary polished rice. Funk named this substance "vitamine," because it constitutes a substance in foods indispensable to life. The vitamines are contained in the hard, colored shell that is ground off rice to produce a nice white product, and it is in the hard protective coat of the water berry which constitutes about 16 per cent of the grain. The bran of the milling process, as removed by the steel rolls, includes the aleurone layer, together with the pericarp, the mesocarp, and these starchless but rich in fats and minerals, and besides they contain the newly discovered vitamines. The vitamines are nitrogen bodies of highly complex structure and no diet is complete without them. Vitamines are found in plants, and especially in their seeds. So far as is known, they are made from them and obtain the only by feeding on plants. Vitamines occur in meat, fresh milk and in the yolks of eggs. They are found in whole grains, potatoes, carrots, beans, peas, lentils and the like; also in lime and in other fresh fruit juices. Wherever any cereal robbed of its colored aloeurone or vitamin layer forms the chief food of a people, there a deficiency disease appears. The chief increase of herb-herl, caused by eating polished rice and resulting in thousands of deaths annually in Japan, is caused by the presence of substances with the replacement of the primitive stone grinding: by the modern steel roller process. The stone mills ground the entire grain; the modern rolls enable the miller to reject from the flour practically everything but the starch. A diet largely composed of sterilized milk, condensed milk, corn flour, starch and sugar, or of any foods subjected for a long period to temperatures above the critical minimum diet, and, as such, predispose to tuberculosis and the deficiency diseases. White flour, corn flour and polished rice are deficient foods, because the vitamins have been removed in the milling process. But in the face Annual Gathering of Gaels Annual The Oireashee, the great annual gathering of Gaels, this year took place in the lovely town on the bank of Loch Leim, Killarney, besides being one of the most beautiful places in Ireland, is situated in proximity to one of the most Irish-speaking districts in the country. The Irish speakers form a large proportion of the population of South Kerry, and the "kingdom" has produced a number of the best known writers, and of the most enthusiastic workers in the language movement.—London Mall. The Sleeper. "European sleeping cars are very dear—$20 a bear, in fact—but they afford you the privacy of a bedroom." The speaker was Raymond Hitchcock. He resumed: "Our sleeping cars, while comfortable enough, afford no privacy. Comfortable as they are, it is very hard to sleep in them." I was traveling one night Chicago ward. The berth above me was occupied by a $300-pound broker. It was of all the proof we still have amateur and political "experts," some of them in high places, who persist in stating that white flour and polished rice are safe and healthy foods. White flour and polished rice are pure foods, but they are not wholesome foods, because they are not complete. WHAT THE VITAMINES TEACH US. "We have done much to drive down the death rate in the way of bettering sanitation and such things, but in spite of all this our death rate for persons over forty is increasing." writes Dr. Charles F. Bolduan, director of the New York health department's bureau of public health. An attention is called to the fact that an increase in the meat (meats, eggs, fish and the like) is a big factor in this increase in the death rate of persons over forty years of age. Such statements are frequently seized with avidity by persons of more than average intelligence and passed from individual to individual, slightly embellished with each repetition, until they may become strong indulences of one or more of the many so-called diet systems that every so often sweep over the country leaving a trail of invalids in their wake. It must be remembered that any marked change in diet or in cooking is certain to produce some result, and change itself is often a benefit; but a diet which admirably suits one person who lives in a certain location and does a certain kind of work may not be adapted to another individual living under different conditions and doing a different kind of work. The truth of the matter is that man's chances of health are best when he eats with moderation a diet made up of clean wholesome, ordinary foods, prepared in the usual ways, such a diet should include articles to be cooked and others to be eaten raw, such as bread, cereals, fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, milk, butter, cheese and eggs. All these articles should be of good quality and free from all dirt, either visible or invisible, should contain no adulterations. Apart from overeating of proteins probably the greater part of our troubles comes from the loss of important elements from our foods in preparing or preserving them. These losses have been due to the fact that either we do not know the elements are present or we assume the very minute quantities to be of no consequence. We are only just beginning to grasp the real truth through a study of the enzymes, the catalyzers, the vitamins, the hormones and the action of the ductless glands in the body. This world is adjusted to operate under the driving power of full sunlight. We have noted that Indian corn, for example, grew within a certain period to 25 inches under white glass and in the same period of time only 18 inches under red glass, eight inches under green glass and six inches under blue glass. The several glasses used in these experiments checked and held back part of the sun energy, as easily be demonstrated by adding a sheet of white and six inches of glass in the hand of the light—the colored glass becomes sensitively warmer than the white glass. It is very evil that abstracting from white light a part of the waves produces material changes in plant life. We know that plants cannot thrive and grow without light, and that it is only in the light, with a supply of the atmospheric gases and of water, and with the green chlorophyll bodies in a healthy condition, that the manufacture of food can go on. We also know as the result of simple experiments that certain solutions of mineral matter must be present to enable the plant to produce food. Some plants grown in glass food, some in distilled water, others in distilled water with one or two others in distilled water with any minerals, others in distilled water with one or two others in the necessary salts in solution. In order to prove the general facts of nutrition and draw very close analogies between life in that plane and life on our own plane. Let us consider what is porhaps the most fatal disease that can overtake a plant—chlorosis, or the lack of coloring matter. This disease in all its essentials is very similar in anemia in the human being. Chlorosis is an obscure disease, but in most cases it appears to be caused by a lack of iron. Without iron the human blood is not red nor are plant granules green. Generally the seedlings attacked by the disease die out very early, but sometimes sickly whitish leaves specimens struggle along for a little while. The disease is often local and in compound leaves one leaflet here and there may be entirely colorless. It is this type that gives us the gardeners "variegated" varieties where the leaves are mottled or striped with cream colored patches and bands. The green parts there do enough work to carry on the life of the individual while the colorless-parts are non-producers. If this is not carried too far the plants can be quite healthy, but if the attempt is made to breed an entirely white race it will die of malnutrition. impossible to slumber anywhere with in a half-mile radius of that broker, and at about two in the morning of climbed up to him, took him by the shoulders and shook him rudely.

LauraJeanLibbeu's Talks on Heart Topics A string may jar in the best master's hand. And the most skillful archer miss his aim. I would not quarrel with a slight mistake. If there is one girl more than another who is ambitious to rise in the world, it is the daughter of poverty. She cannot pick out the flowery path that pleases her. She must join the great army of workers who tread the beaten path. A She know from earning it the value of a dol laar, and how dark the future looks when she is un able to save even the smallest sum. Aye, and what a struggle is here to live from hand to mouth, but withal, trying to keep the lamp of hope burning in her bosom. Such a girl believes there are but two prospects to look forward to—either to keep toiling or to wed some nice young man who will shoulder burdens and dower her with his love. It cannot be denied that these girls look eagerly forward for their Prince Charming to cross their paths. Thus such maidens are easy prey for the audacious male flirt. Such men would resent bitterly having their own innocent sisters make the acquaintance of men through a flirtation in their own home. They have one code of morals for their own home folks, but quite a different one for other girls who have no such home protection. There are some wealthy young men who imagine they can do as they like in striking up an acquaintance with a girl whose pretty innocent face takes their fancy. They are actuated only by the spirit of mischief—a pastime for the moment. There are some girls who pretend to give the handsome, wealthy young man a decided snub when he attempts to pick her up as a "speak easy." There are other foolish maidens who walk blindly into the trap. Although the first, the masher, as he is commonly called, makes all seasons his own, he is more apt to try to scrape acquaintance with the poor working girl in the summer time, when his folks are out of town and he can roam where he pleases and with whom without any one in his set knowing it. He may take the girl whose acquaintance he has made without an introduction to the movies, or the dance hall, perchance in his automobile for a joy ride. The girl builds her hopes that he is in love with her. She believes herself on the royal road to love and happiness ever after. A few weeks or months after she has acquired the taste to know what it is to have a sumptuous dinner; it is to have the rich lead, and, lo! she is dropped as quickly as she was picked up. A newer fancy has crossed the firt's path. She is left to grieve over "what might have been." It is not to be supposed that rich young men do not fall in love and wet poor girls who work for a living; they often do. A girl can rest assured, however, it is seldom or never, that they take to their hearts and mothers as their wives for their mothers and sisters to love, the thoughtless maidens who have met their insincere attentions half way and flirted with them. THE MARRIED "BACHELOR." 'Tis sweet to think that where'er we rove We are sure to find something blissful And that when we're far from the lips we love.. We've but to make love to the tips that are near. There is a class of men who think it quite an art to pose as single when they are away from home. They have no particular object in so doing save to experiment on the rumors they have heard that very little attention is paid to the wants of the married man. The bachelor, it is said, is catered to and all thorns are stripped from the roses that are laid in his path. He doesn't say in so many words that he is a bachelor. He allows people to infer it from his casual remarks that he is living home with his mother, but does not add that his wife and children are also there. What business is it of anyone's that his family are all at some distant resort and he spends his two weeks' vacation nearer home and alone? The good matchmaking mammas who have wormed the information from him that he lives with mother are quick to spread the information from him that he lives with mother, while gossiping on the porch, that the newcomer is a bachelor. That starts the ball of his popularity. He is included at once in the daily yachting parties that are gotten up and invited to join the dances in the ballroom of an evening. Chichest seats are saved for him on automobile trips and it's always next to the prettiest girl, who he finds is a charming conversationalist. The mothers vie with each other in making it pleasant for him. His happy, careless words are treasured up by the women folk and stretched into compliments. There is much speculation in feminine hearts as to why such a splendid-looking man, who seems to have such a fine appreciation of the fair sex, has not encou tered some woman to awaken his dormant heart. If he overtakes a group of girls who are auntering on the beach, they welcome him with shining eyes, smiles and heightened color in their dimpled cheeks. They share their bonbons and baskets of fruit with him. There's a sense of pride as to which shall walk by his side. No matter how carefully he guards his secret, in a thoughtless moment it is sure to leak out, oftimes in the most trivial manner. One of the girls by his side may take mincing steps, which rather frets a man with a long eride. He exclaims, without thinking: "The gowns of you girls today are certainly picturequease; but you don't all seem to have mastered the situation of such tight skirts. They might be too tight, the wider bands of elastic, a foot apart, would accomplish the pullback appearance and keep the wearer from coming to grief. That's the way my wife does." The look of frozen horror on the girls' faces shows him his blunder. In less time than it takes to tell it the girls make excuses to hurry back to the hotel. By the time he reaches the hotel, he is soaked by the so-called bachelor is a married man. He deserves the snub he gets from the girls and their mammas. SHOULD A POOR MAN WED AN OVER-ABITITIOUS GIRL? A rich man's son lpherits cares: A rich man's son inherits careties: His white hair sends hardy burn. His white hair sends hardy careties. A living that would serve his turn. Oh, poor man's son scorn not thy state with eyes blindfolded and thus thine Is being merely rich and great. It seems a pity that a good young man should dip into life's lottery bag with eyes blindfolded when it comes to selecting a sweetheart. If he has to work for his living, he usually has neither time nor inclination to do much looking around. The girl he is brought in contact with he is quite sure must be the right one for him. To be sure she is high-spirited, with a taste for enjoyment and a knack of dressing better than her girl friends. He is proud of the attention she attracts when he takes her out. He laughs at her many little quirks, passing bursary to a fine automoble which they left at the curb, and at the same time cries: "Oh, if it were only true!" He sees her eyes follow wistfully the finely-gowned women whom they pass and whose jewels flash and sparkle in the light. "I would look as well as any of them," she whispers, "if I were only dressed as fne!" "You look far pretetter to me in your little mull dress," he asks, "or a blush of toy mounting her cheeks, she catches her breath with a slight. After they wed it is a constant struggle for him to make enough money to supply the unnecessary things which she craves. He sees how ambitious she is in her every act and word. She wants a finer home than he can afford to pay rent for. His furnishings instead of plain are extravagant. He is obliged to work hard, doing so he has to work extra hours, even though it saps his strength and vitality. As a last resort he commences to borrow wherever he can, though it is not clear to him when or how the debt is to be repaid. The woman whose ambition is far greater than her love fumes and frets when he speaks of curtailing her expenses. She cries out bitterly that it was a mistake to marry him, when she might have done so much better; that she was so angry by her anger. After angry bickering and at last downright quarrels, despite his entreaties, she packs up and goes home to mother. While he is deliberating about going to fetch her back he is going with divorce papers, on the grounds of nonsupport. The law gives her her way. He has hardly got over the shock are he reads in the paper of her remarriage, this time to a map of wealth. He hopes her ambition is satisfied at last. He wishes from the bottom of his heart that he could warn all other young men who are poor and without future prospects to think twice they are fall in love with an over-ambitious girl. These Birds Are Thieves. "Red-headed woodpeckers cost the telegraph companies thousands of dollars every year," said a member of the New York construction department. "They steal the property of the company, and this is how they get it: Have you ever put your ear against a telegraph pole and heard the low humming from the wires reverberate through the wood? Well, the peckers put their red epiphragm against the humming as you do, not being highly educated they mistake the sound for that made by grubs boring in the wood. Now a grub looks to a lean woodpecker as a Delmonico dinner to a hungry tramp, and having decided that the humming noise denoted the presence of a square meal, the woodpecker sets about to corral it. I have just returned from the West on a tour of inspection, and have seen 25-foot telegraph poles with telegraph telegraph drilled clear through them. Some of the holes were big enough for me to put my hand in it. The birds eat them through in a few months. Working Below the Sea "Yes, sir. it seems simple enough to put on a diving dress and go down into the sea, but I can assure you that it is not quite so easy as it looks," a deep-sea diver "the farther one goes down below, on the greater the pressure and, consequently, the exhaustion of working is greater. "You would probably find 70 feet quite deep enough for your first dive. The pressure on your head would be so great that, not being used to it, your ears and nose might bleed in diving the rate of ascent is important. If the diver is less than eight feet below the surface he can pull up and be pulled with safety; for greater depths the rate of ascent must be slower." Back to the Bible Application of the Scriptures to the World Today as Seen by Eminent Men in Various Walks of Life (Copyright, 1914, by Joseph B. Bowles) RELIGION THAT CAME DOWN AT GEZER. (By MELVIN GROVE KYLE, D. D., LL. D., Egyptologist; Lecturer on Biblical Archaeology in Kotla Theological Seminary; author of "The Deciding Voice of the Monuments in Biblical Criticism." One of the difficulties with which archaeologists have to contend is the u n attractiveness, trifling appearance, of much of the evidence upon which the discoveries rest. The public think of discoveries as objects, while the real discovery is the meaning of the object, does not not seem to be much, it is often very difficult to persuade the multitude that the discovery is worth much. Now what is less promising M. B. than a few yellow or red-brown pots or bowls of clay enclosing an old Jewish lamp? Yet in the history of discovery in Bible lands, the difference between a few such unattractive pots and bowls and the uses made of them marks the difference between a religion than came down up between a revelation and a more social and religious development. It was at the great High Place of Gezer, perhaps chief of all the Canaanite high places, at least most conspicuous in situation. It stands upon a promontory that juts out from the Judean hills into the plain of Sharon. R. A. Stewart Macallister of the Palestine Exploration fund had cut his great trenches right across the ruins on the top of the high place. He found history of three millenniums lying in layers like geologic history in our mountains and hills, in America. Cities, built largely of mud and rouge stone, are the places that we now sweep "also on stepping stones of their dead selves to higher things," and the burials of each succeeding age are identified by the pottery and other relics found in the corresponding layer of ruins. The uncovering of a layer of history just before the conquest by Israel easily identified and dated by the Egyptian scarabs found in the ruins, revealed most grusome and horrible hints of human sacrifice, more than confirming the suggestions contained in the Bible accounts, and spread the idea that the explorer. There were rows of little bodies of babes all under eight days of age buried alone and together and at the side of the holy place of the altar. Children do not naturally die thus all at once, of a certain age, and be buried by themselves beside the altar. These are nothing else than human sacrifices, probably of the first-born. During the same period there are other things of dreadful suggestiveness. A body, that of a young girl, is found sawn asunder, and is surrounded by a malicious superstition, filled the tombs with great pots for the supplies for the dead in the other world. Immediately after these things comes a break in civilization and a new layer in the ruins. Old things were forgotten. Even the waterworks, a great engineering feat, which gave access by a tunnel through the solid rock to a secret spring for water in time of siege, was lost and forgotten from that time until the explorer laid it bare. This new layer contains the history of the conquest period, also identified by the Egyptian remains found in it and more certainly by the Jewish lamps and Hebrew jar handles. Now every trace of the sacrifice of babes passes away and other human sacrifices also cease. The gross burial customs are quickly changed into a place of them there appear, one two bowls and a lamp, which I have spoken. They are found in tombs of a place where the Hebrows came in. The place is placed in one bowl and the turned over it, to typify, as if thought the scrawl out of a life. What could have made such a change? Was there suddenly such a development toward true religion? Did this wondrous change from the grusome and horrible to the beautiful and elevating come as a natural growth? Did this change in Canaan come up or come down? It was this, at the sight of which Professor George Adam Smith exclaimed, "This is nothing else than the inspiration of the Almighty." FORGIVENESS OF INJURIES By THEODORE KEMP, LL D. Presid- deat Illinois Wesleyan University. There is a marked difference between the Old Testament and the New in the matter of resisting injuries. The Old Testament says, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." The The Dedicatory Dog. Saint-Saens recently published a book of reminiscences dedicated to "Dallia"—which might seem natural enough in the composer of "Samson and Dallia." However, it appears that the "Dallia" of the honorific inscription is a favorite small dog of the musician, so called because it was on the evening of the first graduation of the famous Paris opera. Dallia is that dog who a dog should not be in one particular. She would not be music. At the sound New Testament through the lips of Jesus says, "Forgive." To the question, "Shall I forgive my brother seven times?" Jesus says, "Yea, I say unto you, seventy times seven." This was meant to arbitrarily fix the exact number of times an offending brother should be forgiven, but rather to indicate that forgiveness should always be extended when it is asked in sincerity. This is one of the hardest things to do of all that Christ taught. But when we recognize that Christ's teaching revolved around the principle of love rather than that of justice, or in words that he made love the controlling principle of life, it is not difficult to see that the spirit of love or forgiveness It is a striking fact that when giving the model prayer, known as the Lord's Prayer, the only petition on which He stopped to comment was that concerning forgiveness when he said, "If ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Heavenly Father forgive your trespasses." In other words, he taught that we waseless to ask for God's forgiveness while there was an unforgiving spirit on the part of the one who prays. This is not as generally understood as it should be; and many a prayer unanswered because of an unforgiving spirit. It is impossible for us to love the neighbors as ourselves if we will not forgive them when they do us wrong. An unforgiving spirit and unselfish love cannot exist in the same heart. To remember personal injuries is easy, but to forgive and forget is often difficult. To hold a grudge is human, but "to forgive is divine." There is nothing that will so break down prejudice, dissipate hard feelings, and destroy animosity as love. Given this spirit of forgiveness or the spirit of love, and quarrels, grudges, and the world's troubles would be at an end. THE BIBLE'S MORAL INFLUENCE (By ROBERT STUART MACARTHUR D. D., L.L. D., President Baptist World Alliance) I commend the study of the Bible because it places before us the high est standard of moral living to be in literature. In it are hild all the treasures of wisdom and knowl- edge. When Sir Walter Scott lay dying, he asked his son-in-law, Mr. Lockhart, to read for him. "What book?" said Mr Lockhart. "What book?" said Shr Walter; "there is but one book—the Bible—read that." He who had read so widely, and had contributed so many immortal pages to literature gave this testimony to the value of the book. Charles Dickens was in the habit of urging his children never to neglect the reading of the Bible, as it con- tained the highest rules of morality known among men. The Bible is the true friend of civil and religious liberty. Where it is practically unknown there religious liberty is virtually unknown. It condemns all oppression and inspires all worthy national and personal character. It sweetens all domestic life, and is the savor of life in all social relations. It glorifies marriage, beautifies home, and prophesies of heaven. It transforms a house into a home; it makes earth the foretaste of paradise. It makes the wilderness of social life glad and it makes the desert of earth blossom into the garden of God. Let us love this blessed book, that it may fully control our daily lives for the good of man and the glory of God. Most of all, let all men believe in the divine Lord and Savior who is in the fullest sense the divine Word, whom this book makes known. Then, under the influence of this highest Word of God, Shall all men's good Be each man's rule, and universal peace Lie like a shaft of light across the lend And like a lane of beams athwart the sea. sea, Thro' all the circle of the golden year A Mile In Various Lands. A Mile in Various Lands Here a mile means 1,240 yards, but in Ireland it means 1,240 yards, and in the Highlands it may mean the old Scotch mile of 1,976 yards. In Switzerland the mountaineers think 9,155 yards, proper thing, even when it generally is, very much uphill. The Swiss is the longest mile of all, being followed by the Vienna post mile of 8,296 yards. The Flemish mile is 6,869 yards, the old Prussian 8,237 yards, the Russian (Worst) 4,100 yards and in Denmark they walk 8,244 yards and call it a stroll of a mile. The Germans have modernized their former different miles into the kilometers (less than the English mile). The Arabs call 2,143 yards a mile, while the Turks are satisfied with 1,836 yards and the Italian shortens the distance of a mile to 1,766. Reading of the Bright-Thoughts.

Annette Kellermann, the Horolie of Popular Production—Al Filien in Play That Is Destined to Have Long Run. "Neptune's Daughter" is a phantasy of the sea. Annette Kellermann, known the world over as a diver, is the star of the play, which is given in seven reels and 500 scenes. The pictures were made last winter on the picturesque coast of Bermuda, with its rugged rocks, sandy beaches, dark caves, turbulent waters and semitropical verdure. It took three hours to complete the pictures and the cost was enormous. The story of the play, in brief, is this: Annette is the daughter of Father Neptune, and he and his 40 other daughters are seen disporting themselves in the water. Annette and her little sister, Angela, are caught in a net. Annette escapes, but Angela is dragged ashore, hidden in seawed, and is wounded on the rocks. Annette finds her dying and swears vengeance on the fishermen. Obtaining a charm which will transform her into a girl, she sets out to punish those responsible for her sister's death. After a long series of adventures, in which the king who rules over the fishermen falls in love with her, she loses the charm and has to remain a girl and becomes the queen of the handsome young king who, with the help of Annette, has overthrown a usurper to his throne. Dramatic Escape. Mile, Gabrielle Robinne was once called upon to make a dramatic escape from a castle in which she had been imprisoned, for a film. The castle, surrounded by a moat, was searched for a small window which would suit the purpose. At last one was found and the actress assumed her position within for the rehearsal. The boat of rescuers put off across the moat, the rope ladder was thrown up and the hooked end duly caught upon the sill. In due course, the hero appeared at the window, bent upon her escape. The bars, which had been improvised for the purpose, were removed, and the prisoner thrust her shoulders through the aperture. But she became wedged him. One of the party members held the ladder and answered to assist her from the strange predicament, while on the inner side two other actresses lent assistance. Mile, Robinne was unable to extend any personal assistance, be convulsed with laughter. At last, after considerable prizing, pushing and tugging, she came through with a bewildering suddenness. The man on the ladder was precipitated into the moat, while the actress tumbled unceremoniously into the waiting boat, the tricolor below breaking her fall slightly, though she struck one of the seats somewhat violently. Where He Made His "Hit:" When a large and agile lion escaped at the Selig Jungle-Zoo several months ago, Lee Morris, an extra, garbed as a bold knight, sizzled through the ambient atmosphere of the grounds for the distance of a half mile. He found the lion there when he arrived. Thereupon Lee turned around and went right back again, breaking the world's record which he had established but a few seconds before. Manager Thomas Persons laughed so hard they had to resuscitate him with a pail of water. He engaged Morris as a regular member of the comedy company immediately. This explanation will enlighten the comedian, for the first time, as to the real reason for his engagement. Strong Cast in "Hearts and Masks." With Kathlyn Williams in the title role, and Charles Clary as Galloping Dick of MacGrath's delightful "Hearts and Masks," the multiple reel special is on its way for a big run, according to indications. Director Colin Campbell has double braced every point of the photo play, as Wheeler Oakman plays the other victim of the ten-spec of hearts while Eugene Besseres French emotional actress, Mrs. Hynes-Bonds. The film fairly sparks with rare comedy, while there is an all-pervading mystery hanging over it from beginning to final denouement. Those Awful War Names Albert (Tony) Roccardi is bemoaning the fact that there is no directory for the pronunciation of the names of cities in the war zone. Tony was reading the war news to a party of Vitagraphers recently, and every town or city he mentioned was a place none of his listeners had ever heard of. It developed that Mr. Roccardi, who is familiar with the territory covered by the fighting countries, was reading about places everyone knew about, but was pronouncing their names correctly. "Sands of Fate" Strong Film Dorothy Gish is featured in "Sands of Fate," a strong two-reel drama produced by Donald Crisp. An act of self-sacrifice on the part of a husband when he empties his water bottle on a burning desert so that he will not be in the way of his wife, the man whose choice is one of the production. Robert Harron, R. A. Walsh and Cora Drew are principals in the cast. Identified With "Mother" Roles. Rose Tapley, well-known Viltagraph screen performer, plays primarily "mother" and "mother's daughter" in this movie that has played such roles over a thousand times. New Comedy In Preparation "The Mysterious Black Box" is the title of a novel comedy written by W. E. Wing and now being produced at the studio of the Selig Polyscope IOWA STATE BYSTANDER GOT REALISM HE WANTED Film Director Went After Subantial Thriller, and Pictures Show He Obtained Them. Ned Finley, one of the Vigilagraph directors, believes in realism and always makes every effort to inject substantial thrills in his pictures, often going to the extreme limit of caution. In a very recent film story on which he was at work, he engaged the services of a sharpshooter, whose duty was to make a "hit" as close to the director as he dared. The scene of the picture shows Mr. Finley shooting from a dismantled barn with bullets splintering the wood within a few inches of his body. In the image of the picture Mr. Finley falls from a horse and rolls to a bankment. The first time he assayed the fall, it was so realistic that a new camera man became so interested in its sensational realism he neglected to film the scene. A second attempt, the next day, was spolied by a spectator, who, thinking Mr. Finley was hurt, rushed in front of the camera. The third time was successful, so far as the actual taking of the scene was concerned, but Mr. Finley, in his headlong descent down the embankment, failed to notice a tree and a collision reforestation, but a happy one, because of his realistic ambitions being fully realized. Stars In a New Play Blanche Sweet is featured in "For Her Father's Sina," a two-reel film play produced by Jack O'Reilly. In the production is told how a college student, a former teacher, a department store owner, leaves her home and works under an assumed SELIG POLYSCOPE CO. Al Filsen. name to learn how the underpaid clerks live. As the result of her investigations, she forces her father to increase the images of his employee and incidentally saves from being killed by a workmaned workman. A pretty romance is woven into the production. Wallace Reid, Billie West and Al Filsen have prominent parts. The scenario was written by Anita Doos. New Series of Plays Four new series of photoplayls by prominent authors are announced for future presentation. Each play will be complete in itself, treating an individual incident. "Below the Dead Line," by Scott Campbell, will be a detective series; "Young Lord Stranleigh," adapted from the stories by Robert Barr, which appeared in a well-known weekly, will be produced in four two-reel subjects; "Olive's Opportunities," written especially for motion pictures by Mrs. Wilson Woodrow, and "The Girl Who Earns Her Own Living," by Mark Swan, are the other future serial plays. Novel Moving Picture A novelty in motion picture presentation is promised in the forthcoming moving picture, entitled "The Bachelor's Baby," a comedy drama, in which two tiny children take the leading parts. The story deals with a woman who enrolls her father for support herself as a governess, and her final reconciliation to her former sweetheart through the children she cares for.

What Happened When a Young Wife Decided to Go on the Stage. Bv MOLLY McMASTER. (Copyright, McClure Newspaper Syndicate). In his heart John Craig longed for the day when the footlights would cease to be an attraction for his wife. He was too big and too broad in his love for her to demand that she stay in the stage and live a quiet, domestic life and hide. He had fallen in love with her as a star, woood and won her as such and now as wife and mother Sybel Craig still shone, a resplendent star in the theatrical firmament. John Junior was a scant three months old when his mother began rehearsal for her new play. It had been a shock to Craig. He had somehow counted on the arrival of John Junior as a barrier to Sybel's prolonged stage career, but she had laughingly told him that she could as a son of that she had a brother of a proud of the "You would grow frightfully tired of me, anyway" she added, "If I was about the house all evening." "I grow tired of not having you, dear," Craig told her, and was not quite aware of the extent of his weariness. He only knew that his evenings alone in the house while his wife was playing to crowded theaters were beginning to bore him. John Junior was four months old when the new nurse arrived. She, Irma Newton, was lovely to look upon, beautiful as to character and endowed with womanly charm that entered the appreciation of John Junior, his mother and his father. She was one of those fortunate women who understand all human wants and woes and administer according to needs. She had effectively Sybel loved her because she possessed all the domestic and sterling virtues that Sybel herself lacked. And John Craig? But he did not know that he loved her. He only knew that evenings of complete boredom were a thing of the past and that his wife's career was no longer so severe a thorn prick in his happiness. Had Sybel loved her husband in a more unselfish way she would have seen that Irma's position in the household was nothing but temptation flung in the path of two persons. But Sybel felt secure in her husband's love, and it did not for a second occur to her that he would have his affections in another direction. Craig, however, was only human. He had married because he wanted a home and a wife to tread the path of life beside him. He had regretted that love had come to him across the footlights, but she would love him more than her audience and applause. The time seemed long in coming. In the meantime Irma Newton entered the room and a most delightful turned slowly into a most delightful feeling of peace. When Irma had been in the house six weeks Craig knew that his contentment would vanish if she were to leave. He knew also that his wife's career was seldom in his mind and that his evenings were not married by her absence. Neither did the fact that Irma was bending over John Junior, when it should have been Sybel, annoy him. In fact Craig found himself appreciating the light on his face and flushing it away than on black. Sybel's hair was raven black. Also he knew that he was beginning to study Irma's eyes for an expression he wanted to see there. The situation was so completely harmonious for all concerned that it was not until the serpent was already in the grass beneath their feet that Irma awoke to the full significance of it. She had been sitting beside the fire with John Junior in her arms when Craig had come quietly into the room. He had not spoken, but he eyed her, the whole scene as if his lips had spit it. Irma knew then that the serpent had stirred. She wondered how long the serpent had been there and how deeply Craig's happiness was affected. She was more grieved than stunned when the truth dawned on her. Irma spent a night in grave thought. She knew that Craig could not long remain silent and she shrank from the scene that must assuredly follow. She recolled from the knowledge that she had robbed another husband's love, innocent though her own action in the matter had been. "There must be some way out of it," she told herself over and over again. "John Craig is far too fine a man to wreck his matrimonial craft on the rocks, and his wife is too thoughtless to put out a beacon light for him. I wonder—I wonder how I can save him." Irma felt that Sybel Craig was more to blame than her husband, and that he would have remained faithful in his love had she made the very slightest attempt to hold him. "She must make that attempt," Irma told herself. "I shall tell her exactly how pasters stand." As she was a brave decision to come to, but Irma was no coward. Besides she realized that Should Sybel Craig display the same pride in her personal life as she did in her public life she would strive to maintain her position as John Craig's wife. She would not, Irma reasoned, like to see herself as a deserved woman. Sybel was having her 11 o'clock cup of tea when Irma knocked at her door. It was not an unusual visit, so that Mrs. Craig was not surprised. They were wont to talk things over at that hour of the morning. "Mrs. Craig," began Irma without preamble, "imagines himself in love with me, and I want you to help me to prevent him telling me so." Sybel shade a shade pale. She was not, however, theatrical in her pr- vate life and her answer was unexpectedly calm. "Why do you say he imagines himself in love with you?" "Because he is not really—he only thinks so. He and I have been thrown together continually and—he is a woman and feminine companion. He has not had that from you. It is most natural, then, that his nature should respond to the presence of any woman sensitive to his personality." Sybel Craig gazed in a more or less vacant way at irma. Perhaps for a moment in her life she was looking at a situation from another person's point of view. "You are not so selfish as you are thoughtless," Irma went on as if following out her own thoughts. "Your husband loves you and wants you at his side and you have never stopped you, and you have never considered his desire to help. In this life we really should try to make others happy rather than ourselves—don't you think so?" Irma asked the question in a perfectly impersonal way. She was trying desperately to retain the atmosphere of unemotional reasoning. She hated being told that she was for Sybel beyond that which she had known because Mrs. Craig had accepted the situation calmly. "I think," Sybel said from out of her depths of thought, "that I have been vaguely conscious of all this. My husband is very dear to me. I could never love any man as I do him. Perhaps had he been less lenient with me and demanded that I quit the stage I would have done so and been more than happy, but—my duty has never been pointed out to me and I have not been wise enough to see it for myself." Her head went forward on her arms, but she did not weep; she was only trying to shut out the picture of John Junlor's father being happy with another woman. "Our understudy—" she suggested Irmot softly. "Could she not take your play from tonight, so that you may stay at home and teach your husband the art of loving you all over again? I will stay with you for a time, so that he will never suspect this little chat we have had. After that, if you like, I will leave you to your happiness." Irma arose and slipped quickly from the room. She realized that Sybel would want time to think. It would not be an easy matter to give up stardom for domestic life, yet Irma felt that Sybel would not hesitate. "John," Sybel asked in a voice that strove to keep the fear from showing, "would you consider me fanciful if I chose to quit the stage from tonight on and just stay at home to watch the show?" She did not realize until she saw the glad light in his eyes how fearful she had been of his answer. DE MAUPASSANT ON WAR Great French Writer Waxed Elquem In Condensing Abominations In the Words of the Words When I but consider the word war I feel a shock, as if one spoke to me of witchcraft, inquisition, some dead or distant thing, abominable, monstrous, unnatural. When we hear of cannibals we smile with pride and proclaim our supernatural. What are savages, real savages—those who fight to eat the victims or those who fight to kill, merely to kill? These youthful soldiers of the line speeding along yonder are destined to death, just as the flocks of sheep driven along the roads by a butcher. They are destined to fall on a plain, their heads cleft by a stroke from a sword or their breasts pierced by bullets. And these are young men who could work, produce, be useful. Their fathers are old and poor, their mothers, who during 20 years have loved and worshiped them, as mothers can worship, will learn in six months or perhaps a year that the son, the child, the big child, brought up with so much trouble, so much money, so much love, was thrown into a hole, like a dead dog, after his body, riddled by a bullet, had been trampled and crushed into pulp by the charge of cavalry. Why have they killed her boy, her noble boy, her only hope, her pride, her life? She cannot tell. Yes, why?—Guy De Maupassant. Youth of Experience A young man and young woman on the links were combining the games of golf and wooing. "Here's a quarter, caddie," said the young man as he started off with his arm around his fair companion's waist; "you want to forget this." "Don't worry, sir," replied the caddie. "I've forgot more about that kind of business than you ever knew." What Did She Mean? "Do you think Miss Kidder was having fun with me?" asked Chawley. "Well, old chap, give me the dailies," was Awdurh's response. "You know, I asked her with me, and said to her: 'That dog knows as much as you do.'

AS TO MAKING CAKES EXPERT ADVICE FROM DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. Cases Where Rendered Beef or Veal Fat May Be Substituted for Butter—Introducing Variety Into the Confections. There are, generally speaking, only two kinds of cake made by the American housewife; namely, apone cakes and butter cakes. The former never have butter in them and are frequently raised entirely by means of agaric. The eggs usually used are the only moisture used, but whey is an expensive, economy sometimes demands that water be added and baking powder used. In the latter kind, butter is generally used on account of its flavor. Its effect on dough is to make it tender and brittle instead of tough and elastic. Sponge cakes are mixed differently from butter cakes and should be baked in a cooler oven and about one and one-fourth times as long. The tests and rules for baking are the same for sponge cakes and butter cakes. Gingerbread and other highly spiced cakes may be classed as "butter cakes," but for economy's sake or for flavor or fat may be substituted for butter as the flavor of the fat will not be so evident as in other kinds of cake. A cooky also comes under the class of "butter cakes," any butter cake recipe being applicable to cookies if only one-third to one-half the amount of milk called for is used. The dough should be rolled out on a floured board. Cookies should be baked in a slow oven for 8 to 10 min"s. Much variety can be made in cakes by introducing fruits, nuts, spices or different flavoring extracts in the dough, or by using butter, eggs, or a larger number of yolks than whites for yellow cakes. Brown sugar may be used for dark fruit cake. Pastry flour will make lighter and more tender cake than standard flour. If standard flour is used take two tablespoonfuls less for each cupful measured. In making cake only fine granulated or powdered sugar can be used, the best of these materials in any case should be employed. In preparing the pans for cake they should be greased well with butter or lard or lined with paraffin paper. Bright, new pans will not need to be buttered for sponge cakes and it is useful for a more delicate crust is formed. If a wood or coal fire is used there should be a small or moderate sized fire, but one that will last without much addition through the baking. Regulate the oven long enough before the cake is to go in to have the dampers adjusted as they are to remain throughout the baking. If this is not done the dampers must be changed to regulate the heat during the baking, and the cake will not be so cold. Most cakes can be at once removed from the pan when baked, but very rich cakes and dark fruit cake will be liable to break unless allowed to stand about five minutes. Spicy Chill Sauce. To make chili sauce cut 24 tomatoes up in small pieces and cook as for the table. Run twelve green peppers and eight onions through the meat chopper. Rub the tub of chili with the garlic and have the peppers and onions ready to add to the tomatoes, with two tablespoonsful each of ground cinnamon, ground cloves and allspice, four tablespoonsful of brown sugar, four tablespoonsful of salt and three quartes of cider vinegar. Mix the ingredients and cook for the hours. Put, when hot, in steer illzed jars or bottles and keep in a cool place. Nutmeat Bisque. One pint scaled milk, one and a quarter cupfuls sugar, one egg, one scant tablespoonful flour, one-quarter teaspoonful salt, one quart thin cream, one tablespoonful vanilla, one teaspoonful oil, one halfful of macaroons, almonds and peanuts. Mix the sugar, flour and salt add the egg (allly lightly beaten) and the scaled milk; cook in a double boiler 20 minutes, stirring constantly at first; cool, add the cream, vanilla and almond extract; cook until add the macaroons broken in small pieces, add nuts chopped fine and freeze. Pineapple Delight. Cut the pineapple into slices and peel and eye. Stack the slices, then cut them into eighths. Sprinkle with lemon juice. (This helps to bring out the flavor.) Pare ripe, juicy oranges, remove every particle of the bitter white, divide into sections and cut each section in two. Toss in a glass bowl with the pineapple, sprinkle with powdered sugar and grate over it a layer of fresh coconut. Serve as once. Dreaden Oysters. Chop two dozen large oysters with a tablespoonful of melted butter, an unbeaten egg, one-third the bulk of bread crumbs, a tablespoonful of parsley, and a little onion juice if liked. Season with salt and paprika, form into balls, and bake ten or fifteen minutes in a hot oven, until the outside is well browened. Serve on half oyster shells with a parsley garnish. First Love Kisses. Beat together the whites of two eggs. Add to these a teacupful of sugar and stir until it is so thick it will not slip from the spoon. Stir in three tablespoonfuls of water and teaspoonfuls of the mixture on buttered paper and bake in a hot oven until light brown. To Prevent Glass From Cracking.
