One week from Saturday, or on January 16th, the voters of Des Moines will be asked to vote for or against the new city franchise asked by the Des Moines City Railway Co. At present the street car company has no franchise at all. Their old one having expired. Therefore it is necessary that they be granted a franchise. Now the only question is what kind of franchise should be granted. The mayor claims that the franchise to be voted upon does not suit him. Yet a few months ago when he could have suggested some kind of franchise he did not, but how being forced to allow the people to vote upon some kind of franchise he comes in at the last moment and offers several amendments to the proposed new franchise. His sole object in offering the amendments is to invalidate the new franchise. Therefore I think as a citizen and voter of our city it is best to vote for the new franchise and against all of the amendments. Let us vote for our own best interest and get the new improvements, new extensions in car service, new cars, which means more work for the laboring man. Let us all go to the polls January 16th and vote for the franchise. The following are the list of presents Mr. and Mrs. J. B.

I have been surprised to be told that the suggestion has been accepted and how many are following it; one, another in Disttown west no longer to organise, a club in his church. house that we live in so often has the gate of the binge, the fence paling gone, windows and doors broken and the plastering knocked off. Let us acquire wealth and intelligence so fast that the world will forget our poverty and ignorance. Let us be so thrifty and industrious that people will have no time to talk about our carlessness and idleness. One big, definite fact in the direction of achievement New I want to make one other suggestion, that in my opinion, is of still greater and more practical importance. For months the great cry has been all through the South to stop growing cotton or reduce the increase. Increases of commercial, business activities, state legislatures, and other bodies have passed regulations without a similar urging that we in the South stop growing so much cotton. We stop growing cotton is very easy; so it is always easy to stop work, merely to stop growing cotton is a more negative proposition and will be. I later, leave the South much better than it is at present, we deliver, we supply, a great industry, we have a number of others equally good to get in the place. In this connection I should be hope in mind as a matter of great importance, that if the labor leaves the farm by reason of changing crops it will be very difficult to get the labor to return to the farm after years. The great cry is to grow food crops. That is well, but one must keep in mind that the great masses of Negroes who have actually grown the most of the nation in the South for years, and the live upon the most valuable land in the South, do not bear the resolutions that are passed by these various bodies. These people have been invited to grow nothing but food, to grow anything else. In fact, in many cases, they have not been permitted and are not permitted to grow anything else. We must also hear in mind that the largest land owners seldom visit their plantations, not some more than once or twice a year, and hence can be of little service in teaching these Nero customs how to change all at once from a cotton-producing crop to a manufacturing crop—Booker Washburn in the Birmingham Age-Herald. John B. Keys, who came to Oklahoma as a housemaster in 1891, with his postman, is one of the earliest Purves in Omaha. A shaving shop in Oklahoma was a store of Mustache, rith and hair property. Keys own a kind of twenty-two brick-building in the heart of the Jackson business district with 12 cottages and six store buildings, and has the respect of his pride and black competitors in business. During the depression of 1887, Kettle and his wife, like thousands of other people in Oklahoma, had to undergo heavy hardships and sustain heavy houses. For days and days they had enough enough to eat. They had to go into the woods and gather acorns from which they made soup and porridge. Two months later, from $100,000 worth of buildings, and his receipts from the walt of prosper, amount to $1,200 a week. Mr. Booker T. Washington, as president of the National Negro Business Institute, has urged his people to "get off the defensive in explaining why the Last year there were overflows and excessive rainfalls. Many Negroes were unable to make crops at all, especially where they depended upon a crop. A few made some for the cotton. There is no money for the cotton. They have no food or stuff. There is no cash to be gotten. Acute distress prevails among these people. Ask any so-called country, how many Negroes are living here, and his reply will give a clear answer to the conditions everywhere. Something must be done to prevent the repeated recurrence of these distressing conditions. Will the authorities embrace the opportunity for constructive work among the Negro farmers of Texas? The opportunity lies in the well equipped agricultural department of the state college at Prairie View and the inauguration in connection therewith of extension work for the popular education of these Negro farmers in conformation with the provisions of the Smith-Lever bill, which work is being directed by Hon. Clarence Ouseley of College Station, Texas.

Let us acquire wealth and intelligence so fast that the world will forget our poverty and ignorance. Let us be so thrifty and industrious that people will have no time to talk about it. One big definite fact in the direction of achievement and construction will go further in securing rights and removing prejudices than many printed pages of defense and explanation." "I have known of the work of the Creek-Seminole Agricultural college, Boley, Okla., for some time. Am acquainted with John C. Lofftwick, the president. The college is to be turned over to the Christian church. Brother Lofftwick is a man of ability, roughly reliable, and capable of his role, working for the Christian church, among the colored people of the state.

We have recently had the pleasure of meeting President Leftwich and going over his plans. We unhesitatingly indorse the theory of voluntary segregation. The Negro must work out his own problem just as every other race must do, and the presence, in close contact, or in a mixed population of another race, so far removed in many elemental characteristics as is the Anglo-Saxon, in variably comes to be a kindling to true progress.—Christian Standard. Hampton institute is proud of the excellent record it has made by the rank and file of its students and former students are engaged in work, which aims to elevate the home, the school, and the community in the vital things of life. The Hampton men have been pioneer workers in agricultural and industrial enterprises. They have sacrificed their personal comforts to engage in uphill work for their people. Since Hampton aims to train young men and women to earn an honest living and help their respective races, it has combined with rare success the elements of industrial and academic education. Dr. George P. Foenix, vice president of Hampton institute, has said: "Moral qualities, which in the aggregate make strong character as well as economic efficiency, are developed through this combination of industrial work by day and academic work by night, as they cannot be by day without being more possible in the trade, agricultural, and domestic science departments. "Every student in the trade school has one hour of study early in the morning, eight hours of work in the trade school, and two hours of academic work in the evening. This makes 11 hours a day, outside of which he must get time for meals, the cake of his room, religious services, and other activities in health, in still, in scholarship and in character." tion will do more to build up a better class of Negro citizens in this state than any other one agency. Its will immediately manifest itself in increased production of larger variety of crops. The organization of this extension work among Negro farmers at this time is urgent. The effort will meet a hearty response from a grateful people, a patient, hard-working people.—Wade C. Rollins, in the Houston Post. For the blind there has been invented a watch with the hours marked by raised dots and dashes so that it can be read by the sense of touch. The school of experience is not a "pay-you-enter" institution, but collections are always made somewhere along the line. Capt. Daniel Powers of Maryville, Pa., is said to have made 3,000 voyages in the Sanquehana river as a rattman. Once holders whom the gods would destroy are first made indifferent to the wishes of the people. The reform bug seldom crawls under the hat of the man who is holding a fat-salted official job. USE FOR LEFT-OVER TURKEY Probably There Is No Better Way Than by Converting it into a Bold. Generally there is quite a bit of the turkey left over, not enough perhaps for a full meal but quite sufficient for an excellent salad for an evening function. high tea or a course lunchmeal. If the white turkey meat does run short it is an easy matter to supplement it with some of the dark meat or even roast veal or fresh pork and no one will be the wiser. Cut the meat into dice, then measure and low an equal quantity of celery in fairly good-sized pieces, any walnuts, any almonds, cookies, a little stock or bollings and water for twenty minutes, then chop basse. At serving time mix together the turkey or other meat, nuts and celery and allow to each quart of the mixture, a teaspoonful of salt, a quarter teaspoonful of paprika, a teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce and if you like it a tiny piece or olive of garlic, just enough to give a suggestion to the palate, without the Tose and mix well and have the your salad bowl well filled with lettuce leaves, put into a pan and mixed with a little mayonnaise, heap up, mask with your mayonnaise, heap up, mask with your for this is the stuffed olives or bits of the sweet red peppers that come in cans. Chicken salad is made in the same way. A few spoonfuls of the stock in which the chicken has been bolled, makes a richer salad. YEAST FOR THE QUICK BREAD Its Proper Preparation Has Much to Do With the Success of the Baking. Two hour bread is mixed, kneaded, raised, and baked in two hours. But first there is yeast to make for it. To make yeast for the two-hour bread, boil six potatoes until soft. Take out, mash them, and add them to the water (there should be one quart of this) with four tablespoons of sugar, two tablespoons of salt, two tablespoons of shortening, either lard or butter, and set all aside until lukewarm. Add, then, half a cake of yeast which has been dissolved in half a pint of lukewarm water; stir in a half cup of flour and let the yeast stand 30 hours. Use one and a half cups of this liquid for each leaf and just enough flour to keep the dough from sticking to the board. Stir in with a spoon, then knead on the breadboard for 30 minutes and shape into loaves. Let these rise again until they are the size you wish the loaves to be, put them into the pan, and bake 30 or 40 Lamb Souffle. Melt one tablespoonful butter, add one half tablespoonful flour and stir until well blended; then pour on gradually, while stirring constantly, one cupful of milk. Bring to the boiling point, add one quarter cupful of soft stale bread crumbs, one half teaspoonful salt, one quarter teaspoonful celery salt, few grains of pepper and a few drops of onion juice. Remove from the range, add one cupful finally chopped gold cooked meat, yolks of two eggs, beaten until thick and lemon-colored; then cut and fold in the whites of two eggs, beaten stiff and dry. Turn into a buttered baking dish and bake 30 minutes in a moderate oven. Serve with tomato sauce. Beef, veal or chicken may be used instead of meat. This dish is easily prepared and a splendid way to use lettuars. Clam Broth on Bellevue Take a dozen large cherry-stone clams. Wash them well and place them in a deep pan, overcrowd them with a pint of water. Let them boil for ten minutes; the hot water will open the clams. Remove the clams and strain the broth through a cloth. Cut up the clams in tiny bits and put them in a large bowl. Can add a little chicken broth to the clam broth and a touch of whipped cream on the top of the individual cups. Cleanse Sweeper: When a carpet sweeper gets full of dust, remove all waste collected, take out the brush and carefully pick out all lint, etc. Then apply heroes on a wooden cloth and rub the ends of the bristles thoroughly with the cloth. It prevents dust rising when the sweeper is used, and brightens the carpet. A drop of machine oil in the holes where the ends of the brush revolve will do as much as any one thing to preserve your sweeper. Temper Savere. Every housewife should have an asbestos glove to wear in handling pots and pans that are hot. This convenient glove would save many burns, as it would pooh to hold hung conveniently close to the kitchen. It is always out of place when something is belling over and quick action is necessary. Walnut and Pecan Creams Beat the white of an egg and a table-spoonful of cold water into a pound of confectioners' sugar. Add three tea-spoonfuls of vanilla. Shape the cream into balls, and into each ball press two walnut or pecan meats. Perhaps more or less sugar will be needed to make the paste of sufficient thickness to melt easily. Ventner Pudding. Mince some cold roast beef, and to every pound add one-half pound of brendcrumbs soaked in a little stock, a spoonful of butter, pepper, celery salt and an onion chopped fine. Mix well, pour into a dish, cover with two whole eggs well beaten and seasoned and bake until brown. Serve hot. When Making Cakes. A quick way to clean currants when making cake is to put the fruit into a colander with a sprinkling of flour and rub round a few times with your hand. It is surprising how quickly the stalks are separated and come through the small holes. IOWA STATE BYSTANDER LauraJeanLibbey's Talks on Heart Topics [December 1934, by the McClain Newman Syndicate] SHE COULD NOT GAIN HIS LOVE She was all mildness; yet 'twas writ Upon her breast, 'twas writ 'Twas that she itself Let him not hope to merit me." There's such a possibility as starting wooting all right or wrong! It is res- sonable to suppose that his heart and thoughts have gone out to a girl when she seeks her society exclusively. All sonable to the woo are not invited smiling. Hundreds of letters reach me from disgruntled wives; many of them bewell the fact that they have made bada marriages; their happiness is ruined for life because they were tricked into mat- rose that his heart and thoughts have gone out to a girl when he meets her society exclusively. All couples who woo are not intended for mating. Hundreds of letters reach me from disgruntled wives; many of them be-wail the fact that they have made bad marriages; their happiness is ruined for life because they were tricked into matrimony by fraud; led to suppose that they were wedding a man of exemplary habits; that they had gained a true and loving mate. Also, they declare that they would as soon have jumped into the fire as to have become the wife of a man having such a violent disposition had they but known it, though they kept company steadily for years. As a matter of fact, these women did know the disposition of these lovers. If they did not, it was because they willfully blinded their eyes to their shortcomings. When a lover begins to get faintly ax in his attentions a sweetheart will no longer hesitate in breaking his engagements with her repeatedly for no special reason, indifferent as to whether she likes it or not—he does not need to wear a sign to the effect that he'll make her a carless husband. If his eyes are on every pretty girl whom they pass, regardless that her eyes are on him, she doesn't have to light a dozen candles of her imagination to see clearly that he'd give her no end of trouble after marriage by too much admiration for other women. If he's always chewing cardamom seeds and cloves when he comes to the kitchen, he doesn't need that he does not take them for his health. If he's on the street with her and leaves her for the ostensible purpose of getting a clear in the corner salon and comes out wiping his lips, explaining that they don't have his brand, she's a very gullible young woman not to know that he's had a drink; and if he cannot refrain from repeating this operation at least a couple of times during the training of the nurse to hear her complaining in after years that it was the last thing she ever dreamed of that she was marrying a drunkard to disgrace her and the children. So on the women write, naming all the faults in the calendar. Once in a while one of these husbands writes me trying to defend himself from the charges he knows his wife has made in a letter she has sent out to me. He says, with blunt frankness: "It's all moonshine that Mary didn't know what sort of a fellow I was when we were going together. She knew I came from a long line of ancestors who loved women, not wisely, but too well; and with me money burned in my pocket. It was come easy, go easy. And as for my reason for stopping at saloons, she should have had sense enough to know I did not go to there for prayer." Girls should study their lovers carefully and raise what complaints they have to make before marriage, or forever after hold their peace. Ah, what shall I be at fifty, Should nature keep me alive, If I find the world so bitter When I am but twenty-five. When a man marries a poor girl who hasn't the second dress to her back and not a cent in her purse, he knows that it's up to him to provide the wherewital for the rent, the food, clothes, and expenses of every kind. The rightly disposed man is mighty gad to be able to do it. He is proved to contribute not only comforts but luxuries for the woman who chose him in preference to all others. But he who marries a rich wife? He knows if she provide her with a new skirt, dress, modish furs, and plums for her hat which cost a fortune, her daddy will. He has no incentive to redeem his energies in the line of work, and does not trouble himself as to the future. Even the daughters of the rich are old-fashioned enough to believe it is the husband instead of the father they should look to for support; that he should consider this the first and foremost of his matrimonial obligations. If the father of the rich wife loses his fortune, what is to become of her if she has not a husband she can look to in her hour of need. If her fine house-furnishings, her jewels, or clothes will keep the roof over her head for her to walk in and be disposed of they for a song. This is so she that no matter how rich a girl she be through her parents the man who marries her should not consider this sufficient cause why he should be delinquent in her support. From the hour she leaves her father's root she should be her husband's care. When a wife finds that a man has no intention of providing for her, though he may be able to do so as he cared for her sufficiently, her love receives a shock. Slowly, but surely, she becomes disillusioned. When the seed of discontent is sown in married hearts the love of peace is ready to take flight from the nest. With more stress breaking the supplies ```markdown ``` in its talm. Recriminations are apt to follow. Those who think that love once formed can never die make a big mistake. it can die, like a flower chilled by a sudden and unspected frost. it is killed branch and root. Nothing in this world has power to revive it. Every wife feels the need of a strong arm to depend upon if misfortune should turn its frowning face upon her. The girl who has been brought up to earn her own living is brave and self-reliant if adversity's storm comes upon her. Not so she who has been born and brought up with a silver spoon in her mouth, so to speak. She has no trade or profession; nor is she ingenious in making fancy work or knowing how to earn her own living in any way. The man who marries a girl of this kind takes her with all of her advantages in prosperity and disadvantages in adversity. ARE MEN OR WOMEN MORE FAITHFUL TO LOVE? That, though the heart would break with more, it could not live with less. When I hear people speak of men being inconstant ever, to one girl constant never, I think it a pity that they have no acquaintance with the nible man I have known. Men who admire too ardently on short acquaintance are far and far between. If you introduce a gentleman to a lady today and a short while after ask each how they like the other, the woman will tell you frankly: "I have met him so few times that I really cannot form an opinion. He seems to be pleasant and kind, but man have a habit of putting their best foot forward when they are tooing the mark of first acquaintance." The man will tell you: "She is a beautiful girl, with a charming personality, but we have not been thrown in contact sufficiently to determine each other's disposition." This conveys the idea that before they are willing to fall in love, men require something more than a beautiful face and bewitching manner. A very youthful man might be caught by dash and glitter. The older man knows that is like the froth from champagne—when the bubble is blown off the wine is tasteless. When the supply of brilliant small talk is exhausted a girl finds it difficult to be entertaining. The man of good judgment wants a sensible young woman whose judgment, need sympathy, and good listening qualities make her an agreeable companion at all times and under all circumstances. The founder of his love. The oftener he meets such a woman, the more grateful is he for the privilege of her friendship. When he is lonely he turns to her for consolation as the sunflower turns to the sun. Slowly and by degrees comes the thought to him that a man would do well to rest his happiness in such fair tails. When this thought becomes fixed in his mind the lamp of love has been lighted in his heart; the steady flame cannot be easily extinguished. If it happens to part them, never again, of his own volition, would he fill her place. The hearts of women can crave love fully returned. Of course, there are those who love but once and forever. There are others of the sex who, having known love, will never afterward consent to live without it. If the object which inspires it is fickle and from them should go, they dry their tears and look around for someone else to comfort them. You hear a great deal about men breaking women's hearts, but you seldom hear of the men who are martyrs on love's altar. It can be to be faithful in love and to be faithful in love, both sides carefully, faithfulness in love is the uppermost trait in both sexes. Men hide this characteristic a little better. Battleship Churches At 10:15 a. m. "m. church call" is sounded through the ship, the church flag is hoisted over the national ensign, and the men gather to the strains of the band or orchestra in the large gun compartment on the main deck. A hymn is sung, followed by responsive readings, hymns, prayer. Scripture reading, special music (at times), a talk of about twenty minutes, followed by a hymn and closing prayer in which all join; the service is then closed with the benediction. The service then continues the hymns and the enthusiastic would be an inspiration to the average church. The unity and regularity with which the men join in the responsive readings is remarkable. Intense interest is shown throughout the service. Better listeners could not be found than the enlisted men of the navy—Christian Herald. An Island of Giants Tory island does not, as one might imagine, derive its name from "rober"—the now respectable source of the name of one great party in the state. The name comes from Torch, toower or full of torcs. Although not so big as Epping forest, the island once housed a race of giants, the Fortorans, chieftain of whom was Balor of the Mighty Blows. A one-eyed gentleman who built himself undying fame for keen-lightness and skill as a cuthroat. Tory island is now civilized, with the usual village post office life. What the islanders chiefly keep in memory is the wreck of H. M. S. Wasp in September, 1884, with the loss of all the crew except six. The vessel had been sent to the island to enforce payment of rent or evict the tenants. Since the wreck nobody has had the courage to ask or pay-rent. Amended the Author. Little Lola had been given a short poem to commit to memory by her teacher. In it these lines occurred: "Sall on, ye mariners, the night is gone." Later when requested to repeat the poem, she rendered the lines mentioned thus: "Sall on, ye mariners, the light is gone." CORSETS OF STEEL As in the Case Sometimes Today, Their Theture Was "Anything for the Fashionable Figure"—in instruments of Torture. Greek and Roman women knew a device, for compressing, their waists, which was, in some ways, an equiv- ent of the modern corseat. Old Homer tells of Juno "wearing a girdle with a hundred fringes," and those who would doubt that these girdles were pulled as tightly as stays men. In Terence, the writer or comedien- s description of a beller of a young girl like one of our own, whose mother compels her to tighten her body so that she may have a small waist. The rest of Europe, receiving this style from the Roman, proceeded as the centuries went by to turn it into a veritable instrument of torture. There were corseis of stiff, unyielding leather, crampling the torso into rigidity. And, worse still, fashion finally dictated a corset of metal. Some examples are to be seen in the Museus Carnavale in Paris. One is made of iron cross-bars securely riveted together. Othes were forged out of two sheets of metal with holes punched to make them lighter. In the fifteenth century Spain became mistress of the world and set its fashions. Then came into vogue the Spanish basquine, a long, tight coat made of strong linen and fastened to a busk of wood or metal. The menace to health supplied by these monastories caused Henry III of France issuing an edict prohibiting their use. Montague, frank old pagan Corset Cover of Steel Worn in Time of Catherine de Medici that he was, could not forbear a word of admiration at the way in which the women voluntarily endured in order to be in fashion. "In order to make their bodies, Spanish," he wrote, "what hells will women not suffer!" Two centuries ago a writer of the times upon dress, told of seeing at the Italian opera a singer "whose waist was painful to look at, for the lower part of her figure appeared wasan, united to her body by a slender ligament." Even in the nineteenth century there was a Parisian actress in the music halls of London with a waist so tiny that spectators are said to have been in constant expectation that she would map in two. At Ninsty Walks Ten Miles a Day Fourteen years ago two doctors of Binghamton, N. Y, told William W. Hemingway that he hadn't more than a year to live. Since that time he has attended the funerals of both, and now has passed his nineteenth birthday. "I just made up my mind to fool 'em," he says. "I started walking. The first few months I walked nearly two miles a day. Now, unless the weather is bad, I seldom go less than ten miles, and have often walked as much as twenty." Doctors sometimes stop Mr. Hemingway on the street and urge him not to overdo his exercise. "I don't know when to stop," he confesses. "I get up in the summer usually at four o'clock. Cold weather keeps me in bed half an hour longer." Monte Carlo Still Open. Word comes from Monte Carlo that in spite of the war in Europe the little principality's neutrality is still unbroken, and the Casino is open for business as usual. This announcement was received by some of the New York hotel proprietors, in the form of letters from the manager of one of the big hotels, who seems apprehensive that they may be deterred by the thought that the Paris, the American has and the aux Pigeons are not performing their usual functions. He neglects to point out how the American can reach Monte Carlo just now in anything like the comfort he has been used to, without running into some part of the war. Eline Virginia Apples The Virginia Apples. Virginia is one of the best apple growing states in the Union. Nothing better in apples grows than the Albemarle pippin, the Albemarle, the Gravenstein and the winery grown in the Blue Ridge belt. There the growers cultivate their trees to the highest extent and take the utmost pain in packing. The Virginia apples are sold all through the South at very high prices, and are seldom to be found in northern markets. Clever. "Blippin is a clever story teller." "Why, he has been telling the same story for years." But he keeps you listening. Every now and then he manages to think up another, beginning and make you believe it's going to be a new one." That It Keeps Down Other Small Pests is Not Sufficient in the Eyes of the Housewife—Creature of Damp. The house canteppe, particularly within the last 20 years, has become altogether too common an object in dwelling houses for the peace of mind of many housewives. It is a very fragile creature, capable of rapid movements, and elevated considerably above the surface upon which it rises by very numerous long legs. It is a creature of the damp, and is particularly abundant in bathrooms, moist House Centipede. closets and cellars, multiplying excessively also in conservatories, especially about places where pots are stored, and near heating pipes. If it were not for its uncanny appearance and the rather poisonous nature of its bite, this centipede would not necessarily be an unwelcome visitor in houses, but might be looked upon rather as an aid in keeping in check various household pests. Its appearance in dwellings, however, is not often welcomed, notwithstanding its useful role. It can be best controlled by keeping the moist places in houses free from any object behind which it can conceal itself, or at least subjecting such locations to frequent inspection. In places near water pipes, or in storerooms where it may secrete itself and occur in some numbers, a free use of fresh pyrethrum powder is to be advised. The house centipede is a southern species, its normal habitat being in the southern tier of states and southwestward through Texas into Mexico. It has slowly spread northward, having been observed in Pennsylvania as early as 1849, and reaching New York and Massachusetts thirty or thirty-five years ago, but for over a century it was curiously in the latter two states it was of rare occurrence. It is now very common throughout New York and New England states, and extends westward well beyond the Mississippi, probably to the mountain. The popular belief is that this centipede is extremely poisonous, and as it belongs with the poisonous group of centipedes, it cannot be questioned but that the bite of the creature is probably somewhat poisonous as well as painful, though the seriousness of the results will be dependent, as in similar cases, on the susceptibility of the patient. The poison injected in the act of biting is probably merely to assist in numbing and quieting its victim, and in spite of its abundance in houses in the North, and for many years it is much greater than the years in which it is recorded of its having biten any human being, and it is very questionable whether it would ever, improvised, attack any large animal. If pressed with the bare foot or hand, or if caught between sheets in beds, this life almost any other insect, will unquestionably bite in self-defense, and the few cases on record indicate that severe swelling and pain may result from the poison injected. Prompt dressing of the wound with disagreeable symptoms. Filipino Schools. A valuable outgrowth of American educational work in the Philippines has been the school garden. There are more than 3,000 of these in connection with the public schools, and they have proved so popular with the children that 32,000 home gardens have been started, supervised by the school authorities. Girls in the schools are taught to weave cloth and with them they learn how to wear hats which they have made. Basket making, cane seating, pottery and other industries which are taught have notably changed village life in all that makes for order, thrift, industry and comfort. Twine "I don't like to see warring armies call too persistently on Providences. It savors of arrogance and self-right-bourneess. Providence may take revenge." The speaker was Bishop-Zinnock L. Miles of Duluth. He went on: "There was once a young couple that expected a visit from the stork. The husband, was anxious that the stork bring a girl; the wife was anxious for a boy. Being very religious, both beogested Providence morning, noon and night to grant his or her desire and Providence heard. Providence "And Providence heard, Providence granted both prayers." The Explanation. George Cohan, at a luncheon at the Players' club in New York, was talking about a millionaire banker of story-two, whose wife threatened to divorce him, his "ward," a beautiful choir girl of warwomen. "Home," said Mr. Cohan, in his quaint way, "home is where the heart is. Well, some of our grand old multimillionaires are so big-hearted they naturally have to have several homes." A Get Rich-Quick Scheme. "There must be some fine business opportunities in those permanent tranches of the allies." Fundamental Principles of Health By ALBERT & GRAY, M.D. (Copyright, 1914, by A. S. Gray) THE FOUNDATION OF HEALTH. All life is dependent alike for its awakening and for its maintenance upon the influence of certain chemical factors, among which heat and moisture may be regarded as paramount. The organisms now living on this earth are known as plants and animals and without exception one and all are subject to the same law. This makes for a close correspondence among all life and thus it is possible to unravel and expose the tangled structure of our physical comparative. The plants is called botany and that of the animals is known as zoology, while the study of living things in general, including both animals and plants, is known as biology. Humanity owes a vast debt to biology and that debt is increasing every day. Biology teaches us that there is no room for chance in nature and that unrestricted growth never results in discord. Discord is always artificial. Wherever there is any "unnatural" condition we know there must have been some interference to account for It. And the present drift in the medical world is to locate this interference. Research work conducted along these lines with fish, chickens and the like has recently exposed many interesting and extremely illuminating facts with relation to the subject of physical injuries, bruises, wounds, and makes it very clear that might solve most of our physical troubles in much the same way if we would only learn to heed the lessons acquired in the handling of the lower organisms. lacubation is a word in common use; it is derived from the Latin words meaning to brood, or to lie on, and specifically it means the action of the ben in sitting on her eggs to hatch them; the word is also used in pathology as expressing the development within the human body of the germs of disease, and it is especially associated with the artificial means of hatching eggs with incubators or for any analogous purpose of an artificial foster-mother nature. Artificial incubation was known to the Egyptians and to the Chinese almost from time immemorial, but it is of comparatively lesser use in this country. The eggs in the human embryo' eggs are placed in an incubator equipped with a suitable device for regulating the amount of heat, air and moisture admitted, and it be regulated to maintain a temperature of approximately 102 degrees Fahrenheit, very marked changes may be noted in the interior of the egg from day to day as the result of the absorption of the heat. Assuming the temperature and moisture in the interior of the incubator to have been formal, candling the 100 eggs on about the fifth day of incubation will reveal remarkable changes taking place in them; the developing germ, with blood vessels radiating from it like a spider web, will be distinctly visible. Candling, again about the tenth day will show a further advance, and at this time usually not a few of the developing chicks will be found to have died. The percentage dying at this stage is determined by the general vitality of the flock laying the eggs. If for any reason the flock is not in normal condition there will not be sufficient vitality in the germs to carry them further and they die. Again on the fourteenth day it is customary to candle or test for the dead eggs, for again there will be some with only sufficient energy to get this far. Between the tenth and fifteenth days the chick becomes relatively large and bulky, the temporary respiratory apparatus, together with its veins, increases greatly in size and extent and the life processes proceed with greater speed than in the tenth day; it is the rule again to search for the dead ones and then the chick is usually not touched again until the hatch is completed. If the temperature and moisture have been maintained approximately normal, the chicks will break through their shells on the twenty-first day. Chicks resulting from a normal hatch are active and alert. They begin to pick about and feed as soon as dry and under ordinary care easily reach maturity. But chicks from either a premature on a delayed hatch are inactive from the start, not alert and easily contract all manner of bowel diseases. Then He Popped the Question. "One of the liveliest figures in the social world, a young woman whose engagement was announced a couple of weeks ago," said a New York social climber, "brought about the proposal by an ingenious trick, which set off her peculiar style of beauty in two strikingly contrasting trocks on the same evening. There had been reported that the young woman was related by the slowing of the men she favored. On the night in question, at a dinner party in her home, the girl was beautiful creation of a delicate rose shade, and it was observed that she was unusually animated in her exchange of small talk with the man in the case. To the guests, it seemed a real disaster when a servant stumbled and dashed coffee on the rose gown. Of course the woman was the most astonishing of all. The girl hurried out. She surprised her by appearing five minutes forward in a white gown of greater beauty than the rose one. It was a transformation so quick the young woman was received with exclamations of delight. But society Under the most favorable conditions incubator chicks are never equal in general vitality to the normal hen hatched chicks. They are less resistant and more subject to disease. We have not yet mastered nature's secrets either with the lower organisms or with our own species, and for this reason we can well afford to draw lessons from the experience acquired in the laboratory. The foundation of good health is the good food. Food to the nursing mother bears the same relation as lamp to the incubator, and if there is a deficiency in any degree in either case the developing life is certain to pay the penalty in lower vitality; while if we take an excuse of deficient foodstuffs we must likewise pay a penalty. ARTIFICIAL FEEDING Inasmuch as health is the natural and normal state of mankind, it should not be difficult to preserve one's health. And it is not. But because health is inherent in us, and because we are elastic and therefore tend persistently to revert to the normal, whatever the provocation, with very few exceptions we obstinately and fatuously cling to habit and practices certain to impair our physical inheritance, until some sharp and severe experience lashes us into a consciousness of corporal limitations and compels the recognition of natural laws. Without exception ill health, physical debility, sickness and suffering in general come through repeated violations, either on one's own part or on the part of others, of the laws of this universe, of which we are a constituent part. Too often irreparable damage is done to vital organs before we become conscious of the breakdown, and then it is too late to do anything. As a matter of fact the problem of life itself can be solved only by the study of what takes place in the minute portion of the cell, for it is in the "centrasome"—a roundish body alongside the nucleus of a cell that is undergoing division—that the new formation of an individual begins. Remember that cells increase by division; there is no corpse; each cell splits into two, indefinitely. We cannot all become cytologists—cell experts—but we can easily accomplish the observation of any one of the lower organisms—such as the chicken, for instance—sufficient for all practical purposes as a safe guide to better things if we will but open our minds to the truth. To begin with, we do not know, here in this country, how many children are born annually, because only a few states require birth registration, and we are therefore unable even to approximate the percentage of infants stillborn in the result of conditions identical in principle with those that cause the death of the chick in the shell. But we do know from statistics returned on approximately 60 per cent of our population of 100,000,000 that at least twenty-five per cent of all infants born do before they give up age. In contrast with this condition, eggs from the same penis from which the incubators are supplied and from which an 80 per cent hatch is considered highly satisfactory, the hen will with but few exceptions, produce hatches approximating 100 per cent. The mortality in the incubator is insignificant compared to that which takes place among chicks under artificial brooding and feeding conditions, that is to say, during that period of life before the chick is sufficiently mature to be able to look after its own needs. If the death of forty to sixty or more per cent of a given flock of chickens ended the matter we might content ourselves with the idea that inasmuch as each species tends to increase inordinately, the check known always to be in action, even though we are not able to perceive it, which is simply nature's method of preserving a balance, must result in an improvement of the breed. But unfortunately, this is found not to be true; for invariably those survivors of conditions which produce these very heavy mortalities are themselves so shattered physically that under the same conditions only a few generations suffice seriously to deteriorate a fine strain and, if persistently followed, quickly lead to total extermination of the line. On every hand we find these conditions closely paralleled in the human species. Deficient food supply to the pregnant woman gives the same results following lack of heat in any other incubator, and an excess produces about the same effect as too much heat in the machine; both inevitably lead to deterioration in the child; while artificial feeding is known to be fully as disastrous to the child as it is so clearly proved to be to the chick and its descendants. The solution is comparatively simple and consists in nothing more than training women to have a fit appreciation of the obligations of motherhood and actively and conscientiously to prepare to meet the natural demands. began to do some thinking then when, two days afterward the engagement was announced.

"There are some things it doesn't pay us to get," said Vice-President Marshall in a recent address. "For instance, it doesn't pay a man to get so much money that he becomes ashamed of his old-fashioned wife and no longer wants to trot in her society." Not long ago a man who abandoned his wife and who tried in every way to provoke her to get a divorce from him so he could marry a young and attractive girl, plainly told her he had enough for him, that now that he had money he wanted, a wife who could show off in society. This poor woman had made all sorts of sacrifices in their early days of struggle with poverty. For years she had worked and deprived herself of necessities to help her husband get a start in the world, and to care for and bring up his children without a nurse or maid. She made a drudge of herself, but when he had become prosperous he had no use for the worn-out wife, with her burned-out beauty and her wrinkles, which had paid the price of a large part of his prosperity; he wanted to cast her aside for a young, fresh and attractive wife. In the trial the wife said: "I worked from seven in the morning until eleven o'clock at night. But now the am no longer needed in the business, and me insulted. He has neglected and failed to properly provide for me. "He repeatedly told me that I was not fashionable enough for him," the wife concluded. "He liked dressy women. He took me to one place and pointed out a Miss K, and said he had spent $400 wishing and dining her." The world will never know the tortures, a thousand times worse than death itself, endured by wives of prosperous husbands, who so often prefer suffering to scandal and endure a living death rather than expose their husbands, who have been fascinated by younger and more attractive women. One of the most pathetic spectacles in American life is that of the faded, outgrown wife standing helpless, in the shadow of her husband's prosperity and power, having sustained his identity nearly everything that the feminine mind holds dear—to enable an indifferent, selfish, brutish husband to get a start in the world. It does not matter that the wife sacrificed her own opportunity for a career, that she gave up her most cherished ambition in order to make a ladder, for her selfish husband to assemble by. When he has once gotten to the top, like a wily, diplomatic politician, he often kicks the ladder down. He wants to make a show in the world; he thinks only of himself. His poor, faded, worn-out wife, standing in his shadow, is not attractive enough for him now that he has gotten up in the world. The selfish husband thinks that he should have a clear track for his ambition, and that his wife should be content, even grateful, to be allowed to tag on behind and assist him in every possible way in what he considers the grand life work of both of them—to make him the biggest man possible. It does not even occur to him that she could have an ambition welling up within her heart, a longing to answer the call which runs in her own blood, and a yearning to express it in some vocation as well as he. I do not believe that the Creator has limited one half of the human race practically to one occupation, while the other half has the choice of a thousand. "But," many of our men readers will say, "is there any grander profession in the world than that of home making? Can anything be more stimulating, more elevating than home making and the rearing of children? How can such a vocation be narrowing, monotonous?" Of course it is grand. There is nothing grander in the universe than the work of a true wife, a noble mother. But it would require the constitution of a Hercules, an infinitely greater patience than that of a Job, to endure such work with almost no change or outside variety, year in and year out, as multitudes of wives and mothers do. The average man does not appreciate how almost devoid of incentives to broad-mindedness, to many-mindedness, to liberal growth, the home life of many women. The business man and the professional school a great, practical university He is continually coming in contact with new people, new things being molded by a vast number of forces which never touch the wife in the quiet home. I believe in marriage, but I do not believe, in that marriage which parallels self-development, strangles ambition, and discourages evolution and self-growth, which take away the life purpose. Nor is it necessary that the wife should work like a slave in order to grow. There is certain class of men who go to other Bad Practice Discouraged. Getting married in Burma is not entirely a pleasant operation. Custom warrants the practice of throwing stones at the house of the newly-wedded, but not blacksmall, and when recently a band of Burman youth demanded money before they would depart the law stepped in and sentenced the leaders to heavy imprisonment and corporal punishment. IOWA STATE BYSTANDER entrusts and makes moves in the work them half to do best. But physical difficulty does not develop power. That same wife is in a badly as the doll wife. A wife should neither be a drudge nor a dressed-up doll; she should develop herself by self-affort, just as her husband develops himself. She should not put herself in a position where her inventiveness and resource- fulness and individuality, her talent, will be paralyzed by lack of motiva. Everything in the whole environ- ment of tens of thousands of Ameri- can wives is discouraging to growth and tends to struggle a broader, fuller life. A healthy mind must be an active mind. Vigor and strength cannot be built up in man or woman by any means, but not by noth- gone. There must be a purpose, a vigorous, strong aim in the life, or it will be nervous, insolient and stale. For centuries women themselves accepted man's estimates of them, and were content to walk in his shadow. But since the higher discovery of women in the last century a new order of things is being brought about. Women are becoming less and less dependent upon men and more inclined to live their own lives. They are beginning to see their own possibilities, that they can have careers and ambitions as well as men. The girl of today expects a liberal education and looks forward to a career of her own. Women have at last learned that men have not monopolized all the genius, that ability knows no sex. And the wife is beginning to realize that there is one thing she should guard as the very jewel of her soul; that is, the determination to keep pace with her husband. HOME, SWEETEST WORD IN THE LANGUAGE. The story is told of a perplexed young man who wrote to the query department of a newspaper to know whether the editor would advise him to buy an automobile or get married. He said he could not afford to do both, and was in a quandary. The editor cautioned the young man to deliberate earnestly and not to make up his mind without due consideration. He was reminded that while an automobile costs more it doesn't talk back, and that a second-hand automobile could be tried for a new one. It is not recorded what was the decision of the irresponsible. There have been men, good men, whose lives, measured by ordinary standards, were successful, who never married; but those who hear or read of them feel that such careers were incomplete. To a certain degree, a young man should look upon marriage from a utilitarian standpoint. A good wife is so much capital. She makes him to be, by a kind of grace, a great deal more than he is by nature. She contributes the qualities needed in order to convert his winger into a side as well as productive efficiency. She introduces, for instance, into his intellectual nature that ingredient of sentiment which intellect requires in order to be able to do its best work and makes home an Eden. "To Adam, Paradise was home; to the good among his descendants, home is paradise." Most married men are saner, much more normal and level-headed, economical and careful, on account of their wives. A model home is a great corrective for a man. It keeps him up to standard and saves him from getting blue and discouraged. It develops the affectionate side of his nature and renders his character stronger and more symmetrical. Men can produce very much more because of harmony and affection in the home. There is nothing else which will call out the divinest qualities of a man of woman like unselfish service. The very consciousness that one has others depending upon him tends to call out the beat in him. A happy marriage brings manhole into the life and broaden, softens and sweetens the character. It is a great educator, a perpetual influence for good. Who could estimate what civilization owes to man's dream of a happy home of his own? What an incentive to man in all ages has been this vision of a home of his own! It is this picture which holds the youth to his task, buys him up in times of hardships and discouragement. This picture of a home, this vision of a little cottage and some fair malenal waiting at the door—this home vision has ever been the greatest incentive of the struggle, the greatest hope of mankind! It is that he has lain multitudes of youth out of obscurity. There is no spur on earth which has has anything like the influence over man that this home vision has. The thought of his home and wife and children dearer to him than life, keeps vast multitudes of men grinding away at their dreary tasks, when they see no other light in the distance. To multitudes of people home is the only cause in their desert lilies. Home is the sweetest word in the language. It has ever been the favorite theme of the poet, the author, and the artist. History is packed with the achievements of men for the sake of the home. They cross oceans, they explore continents. They endure the heat of the tropics and the cool of the arctic; they explore mines in the wilderness, cut themselves off from civilization for years for the sake of wife and home. The Highland fling symbolises victory. The ochtiehische milleiair, that was popular some years ago, was another Scottish dance with a military suggestion. Many old prints show that the bagpipe of Scotland accompanied the military dance, as it cost today, and to its straits fighting is being done that emulates that of past centuries. Many trains of thought carry as credible PRETTY HEAD COVERING THAT IS EASY TO MAKE. Bee, Perhage, in Rabbit Yarn or Sunny—Success Will Be So Sure if One Will Follow the Directions Given Here. How canning the little baby bonnets are knitted in rabbit yarn or sackson, and no need to make! Indeed, anyone who can do the plain knitting stitch can make a bonnet by following directions: First, it is necessary to find the face size. This will be 12, 14 or 16 inches, according to the age of the child to wear it. Four signs of two-fold saxon wool will be required, white or brown, and the pet coat on 88 stitches, using No. 2 bone needles. Knit in ridge for 14 inches, or 107 ridges, and bind off. To make the band round the neck of the crown, with a steel needle pick up one stitch from the 107 ridges. Made of Rabbit Yarn. Start on the right side and decrease to 54 stitches by knitting two stitches together to end of row. Knit 13 ridges on these 54 stitches, then bind off. If the bonnet is white, make the turn-back flap of white satin or corded silk—a strip of ribbon about 3½ or 4 inches wide will answer. Decorate with embroidered rosebuds, or, if it is beyond the knitter's skill, bought embroidery could be applied. The outer edge should be trimmed with a frill of narrow, lace and the flap lined with a bit of pink india or other soft silk. The knitting is laid in three planks with roses to shape the bonnet, the mitten, and the under roses of pink ribbon. The raw edge of the flap is turned under the knitted edge and a cap lining of soft white silk fitted in. Then a ruching of lace is sewed in around the face, and lastly the ties of white or pink ribbon are added. Of course, one may keep the bonnet all white, all one color, or a combination of white and a color. For instance, if the baby is a boy the knitting and silk sap might be white and the ribbons blue. The embroidery could be forget-me-nots, or the entire brochet, with the exception of the rosebuds, which would be white, of course, might be blue. In that case pink rosebuds would be more effective than forget-me-nots upon a blue background. FIRST TEST THE CRETONNE Cheaper Grade Not Always a Good Investment—Makes Excellent Furniture Cover. A cheap cretonne is not always a good investment, as it often becomes thinner after a few weeks' wear and looks more like a coarse material. It can be used in a low-priced material it should be tested. Do this take a small piece and rub it thoroughly if it washing. If the threads separate and it becomes thin, it will wear badly, and not is really economical, no matter how cheap the price, but if it passes this ordeal it will probably last as long and wear as well as a much higher-priced one. A cretonne with a dark background is better than a lighter one. Higher coloring and need not hake the room appear dark if some cheerful sores are introduced into the floral design. To cover furniture is not really such a difficult task as many would imagine, provided a reliable pattern can be obtained, and it is in carefully pinned to the sofa or chair and fitted so that any parts which are too large or too small can be altered and arranged. Cretonee, generally 30 inches wide, is a furnished sofa required six years. When cutting the cover for the sofa the pieces for covering the arms must be laid, before cutting, with their right sides together, or when cut it may be found that they are both for the right or left, and this would involve an enormous waste of material.

Colored beads, jet and pearl beads are used. Printed taffeta is a favorite material for tea jackets, and some of the designs and color schemes are as poetic as they are effective. The fabric is not fat enough use a reed or thick wire to get the right line. This is done in many of the high priced models and can be copied by you. Fawn and straw-brown silk likings are used for the immensely popular covert coating suits, and for the equally well-liked marine bibs ones. The silk is much used again for the purpose. Many of the newest blooms have high peaks. That is to say, they are bottled right up to the threat the addressee. term would be planned in such a way that the design will run up the seat and back of the sofa, and over the sides, or of arms, and the pattern must be carefully matched in the center, where the material will be joined. KEEP HANDS FROM CHAPPING Or If They Are New in Bad Condition Here Are Remedies That Will Help. The first chilly day is the day one should begin to wage a war against shapped hands. If you can keep your hands from becoming chapped in the transitional weather between hot and cold, you will have little difficulty with them later on. If it is in the first cold days that they are especially sensitive to cold. Still, it is never too late. Chapped hands are almost always caused by insufficient drying after washing, or perhaps the water was licy cold and very hard, or used too hot. Both extremes are bad for the hands, to preserve the good condition in cold weather, they should, whenever possible, be washed in tepid water, and if this is softened by a teaspoonful of borax so much the be sure to use a soap of good quality, and when drying the hands take the precaution of rubbing each finger separately. If the hands are rubbed over once a day with a slice of lemon and a little cold cream, or if mution tallow is rubbed into them thoroughly before eating, the skin will be little danger of the skin becoming chapped or rough. FOR THE GIRL WHO SKATES Appropriate and Attractive Costume of Biscuit, Tan Cloth is Latest Idea of Fashion. One sees young women in valet and biscuits in the frocks at the rinks in the city, but the real out-of-door girl wears a proper wearing big of which an attractive example is II- ```markdown ``` illustrated here. Severely tailored coat and skirt are of bleach tan cloth and the snug little skating hat is red brown beaver with a band to match. White woolen gloves and a warm scarf, which may be tied over the ears if needed, complete the costume. SUITABLE FOR FLESHY MAID Many Fabrics Especially Adapted to Her, and Some She Should Be Careful to Avoid: The girl who is too fleshy should never wear shiny stairs such as satin. They catch the light on the curve of your figure and make you look much stouter than you really are. Soft dull stuffs are the right things for you. Never wear a blouse of one stuff and the skirt of another, but always have whole dresses or costumes. A contrasting vest collar or front on a dark dress is quite allowable. Stripes or turtles on stuffs rather than checks on flowersed patterns. Don't have a contrasting belt—it cuts you in two and, by taking away your height, increases your apparent width. Wear becoming collars. High ones are very unbecoming to a thick throat and, besides, you are nearly sure to have—a pretty neck—most stout people have—so you may as well show it. Let your indoor skirts touch the ground always. Have them made close-fitting on the hips with a good flare out at the foot. A skirt, which draws in round the feet always increases the apparent size of the hips. lette blouse is certainly going out of fashion. At the present moment the most popular models are those which are medium high. Cleaning. Tatting. Almost everyone who has tried to clean tatting by washing it, knows it is almost impossible to restore the ptcots to their natural shape in this way. A better way is to soak the tatting in gasoline and while they are warmed, place it pieces with corn starch. Warm them in a clean bowl and leave them for several hours. Beat the towel lightly, lift out the laces and shake it free of starch. Press the ptcots into shape and iron lightly on the wrong side. "That young teller has been calling on daughter for: several weeks, hasn't he?" "Yes, pa." "I think I'll ask him what his in tantiions are." "Give him time, pa. He probably doesn't know himself as you." OF DRIED VEGETABLES MANY PALATABLE DIHES MAY BE PREPARED. Need Special Care but Will Repay Time Given to Them—Excellent Hash is One Composed of Pe- tatoes and Lentil. Dried vegetables contain a great deal of nonnutritious, and if they are properly prepared they will into very palatable dishes. They should always be soaked overnight, brought to the boiling point, and then simmered slowly with a quarter of a teaspoonful or baking soda in the water. When the fresh vegetables are scarce the good, housekeeper can give a greater variety to her table for a smaller cost. If she uses liberally of the dried vegetables as well as of the finned. Baked beans, porridge and sucotash are old standbys that no one has need to be reminded of—but with these time-honored dishes many households seem to end their use of dried vegetables. If you live in a locality where you can get dried sweet corn, or if you have been forehanded enough to put it up for yourself you are very lucky, for this is far superior to the thinned variety. Canned corn is one of the vegetables whose flavor is entirely changed by being canned. Dried corn is delicious made into corn oysters and can hardly be told from the fresh vegetable. Soak the corn overnight and in the morning bolf it up with a pinch of baking soda. Press out the pulp with a sharp knife and to a pint of the pulp add two beaten eggs, one teaspoonful of butter and salt, a dash of pepper, and enough flour to bind. Roll into small cakes and sate them in butter, or drop from a spoon into hot fat to make fritters. These may, of course, be made of canned corn also, and they are sometimes improved by adding a little milk and sugar. Dried beans and peas make very good pures, but care must be taken and beaten before adding them. When they have baked until the are very tender mash them through a sieve. Place again in the saucepan and stir into them enough hot milk, pepper and salt to season them, add butter and a little sugar before serving. A. very good hash of potatoes and lentils is made from one and one-half cupfuls of cold cooked potatoes, two cupfuls of pulped lentils, one teaspoonful of salt, pepper to taste, half a cupful of milk and one teaspoonful of sugar. Mix well. Pan until brown, and serve with a to-mato sauce. Potato Doughnuts. One cupful mashed potato (warm); two tablespoonful shortening (warm); cupful and a half of sugar; two eggs; one cupful milk; one fourth teaspoonful such an autumn and cinnamon; two cupful flour; four teaspoons baking powder. To mk: Put shortening and sugar in mixing bowl and cream; add the warm mashed potatoes and then the eggs, one at a time, until they are mixed well through. Add the flour, baking powder, spices and beat thoroughly. Let stand about half an hour to topeen, add enough and then cut in bowl; add until a golden brown. Lay on a wire screen to drop. You will find they will stay fresh longer than the old-fashioned kind. Wire Closets. A wire cupboard for the kitchen or pantry is a great convenience. It is, of course, impervious to flies, and therefore is useful for holding wafers, cereals and other food in summer; food which does not, however, need to be kept in a refrigerator. It is also impervious to the attacks of mice, and is useful in the autumn, when mice sometimes enter the kitchen out of doors. These wire cupboards, made of a wooden frame over which wire screening is fastened, come in various sizes at various prices. Chocolate Custard To one cupful of hot milk add two tablespoonfuls of grated chocolate, two well-beaten eggs, four tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, a table pinch of salt and one tablespoonful of cornstarch mixed smooth with a little cold milk. Let the mixture reach the boiling point, remove from the stove, and when cool pour into cups or glasses. Place in the refrigerator until firm and cold, and serve with whipped cream. Scrapple. Cook one pound of fresh pork until it drops from the bones. Pick the meat to pieces and strain the liquor, of which there should be one plum. Put the liquor and meat on to boll and thicken with Indian meal until it will harden enough when cold to cut up and fry in slices. Season the liquor with pepper and salt. To Keep Fish. Fish may be preserved for a couple of days in a very simple yet safe way. Boll together three quarts of water and a pint of vinegar. When just on the boll put in the fish and scald it, but not for more than two minutes. Hang the fish in a cool place, and it will keep fresh even in the hottest weather. Useful Wash-Day Hints. Soda should be thoroughly dissolved in the washing; water before the clothes are put in. Never allow it to lie on the clothes, as this sometimes causes ironmold. Soda should never be added to water in which woolens are being washed, as it causes them to shrink. To Line the Cake Pen. Waxed paper, such as comes inside cracker boxes, is soluble to line cake cups to fit. Then pour them, pour in the batter, stand the hot pots after baking on a wet cloth for five minutes. The cake will drop out when it wets. __ DAVIDSON'S . ae d12-414-410-418 *“WALNUT-ST. ls ; ANY STOVE WANTED SOLD SON TERMS y roy 81 A WEEK " Boerigas Cook Stove, .
