THE VALUE OF

TO HOUSEfflFE

HARY PATTISON DESCRIBES EXPERIMENT IN HOUSEHOLD EFFICIENCY OF INTEREST. HOW SAVE MANY STEPS The "Kitchenette" Will Solve Many A Problea: Where One Woman 21nst Do All the Work'. Mary R. Patiison, in an article in "Success Magazine" oescribinc: an experiment in household efficiency, says : My kitchen was larci and the labor of preparing a ir.eal left one physically exhausted. When I. wanted a spoon or a fork. I had to walk to cne end of. the room, for a towel J went to the other side, for a pan somewhere else. There was coal to carry. up from the cellar, ashes to earn' down; there was dust contmually and a fire that would ro out. The confusion was maddening and the arrangements seemed the worst possible. As I stood one day in the center of the pantry. I was suddenly seiz ed with the idea of turin it into a kitchenette. Mv pantrv was of pood size with china closets built in. There was a sink, with hot and cold water supplied from the cellar, a larjre built-in refrigerator was already in place there, connected with a drain into the cellar and supplied with an outside door through which ice could be put without the inconvenienceof carrying it through the house. I had gas and electric connections made at once. Since that time. I have been able to" prepare all my meals in the kitchenette. A small gas stove with broiler and portable oven, I find sufficient with the use of a tireless cooker. The tove is placed on a shelf to obviate leaning over. The oven door is plass. dein away witl opening the door so often at the waste of energy and heat. Now, when I stand in the center of my kitchenette, I can put my hand on anything needed in the preparation of a meal by the simple act of turning. The folly of walking miles, back and forth, day in and chy out, is dispensed with. Escaping Household Drudgery The old-time household duties also aisappeared to a great extent. Scrubfcing was no longer a necessity. I found a waxed floor, with simple but effective rugs, just as practicable as in other. part of the house. The rext step was to eliminate that cond frightful bugbear of housekeepingwashing the pots and pans. No dish or kettle used in cooking was allowed to become cold before being i vc ashed with a combination wire and bristle brush. The hand thus came an contact wholly with the handle of the vessel, doing, away with the most unpleasant part of dishwashing, while the immediate cleansing minimized labor by preventing particles cf food from drying and sticking to the sides of the utensil. Table tops of glass and marble also helped to reduce labor in the Ütchen.- These were constantly kept spotless by the free use of paper napkins as ir wipe-up rags." The employment -of paper is on of the most valuable means of saving work. Paper napkins when bought in quantities are very cheap, they are absorbent, easily handled and may be quickly disposed of , Another of our schemes was to have all garbage instantly dropped down a tube from the sink to an ;ineratr in the cellar, doing away vrith that most unpleasant chemical combination of a mixture of nondescript scraps, so unpleasant to the tenses of sight, smell and touch. We have not as yet reached Mrs Rorer's ideal of minimum waste, but we are .viiur to approach it, for therein I -lies another real source of economy. X great deal 01 airc, ana iuc ww4 0f removing it, was prevented by having all vegetables washed before they wer brought into the house. To tbis end I devised a little drop üble near the pump on the hack perch, but a step from the garden. 7e live in the country and grow ccne 01 our own vegetables, but the ciple of leaving all possible dirt vatside is one that coinage. ap-Jiu utmost everywhere..

A Successful Event. V At the Presbyterian manse Thursday afternoon the ladies of the church tendered Mrs. J. P. Engst rom, Field Secretary of their Heine Mission Board of the Northwest, a delightful reception. More than fifty ladies gathered In the spacious rooms of the manse, which the ladies had neatly decorated with flowers for the occasion. Mrs. Engstrom, though weary from travel and many meetings, made an address to those present which was not only full of interesting and inspiring statements but was delivered in a most pleasing manner. She explained the origin of the work which the women of the church are doing, and called particular attention to the fiftieth anniversary of the organization. Mrs. A. C. Hume, who presided, introduced Mrs. Engstrom with some well chosen and pointed remarks. She likewise referred to the presence of Mr. Lee, a native of China, present with them, and introduced him to the audience. Mr. Lee appeared in

Tiative costume, and spoke inost en tertainingly and impressively of the conditions existing m his native land, and the supreme importance of the gospel as the only Jiopo for the future of that country. He als) exhibited several surios from China. Ihirhvj: . the afternoon delightful J music was rendered on the piano hy Mrs. John Cook and Miss Erma Sanrler. Miss Julia Yockey sang a beautiful solo. Mrs. Hoham and Miss Yrekev rendered a fine duet, and Miss Hazel XciT delighted all with a Chinese love song, which she rendered in Chinese costume. A substantial lunch followed, of which not only the ladies but a few men partook. The paper napkins lapsus in t le used on this occasion were nature of souvenirs, they having on them a part cf the twenty-third psalm written artistically by Mr. Lee in Chinese characters. The free-will offering oraounted to more than .$17. Mrs. Engstrom again addressed the ladies at night in the church. Although the - threatening weather kept a number away, the meeting was both interesting and profitable. The ladies feel quite encouraged ovei the whole affair, and hope that this is the beginning of better days in their mission an work. 4 'Men and Religion. M The meeting for tbe men of the churches in the Christian church lat night was not as well attended as it might be, but they tried to makeup intnterest and effort what they lacked otherwise. Those who did not attend missed an admirable address by Kev. Mr. Ormond, who explained in detail this new movement to interest the men of the various churches in their fellow men. Ninety strategic cities in different parts of the country have been chosen as centers from which to radiate, and some twenty-three experts in various lines of work for men and bxvs are to visit these centers and thru local committees reach the tributary places. South Bend is one of these centers, and it is possible for Plymouth to have some of these experts in a five days' campaign, if the men are willing To undertake it. A conference with these experts will be held at the Y. M. C. A. in South Bend on the 22nd inst., at which the places for these campaigns will be settled. The outcome of the meeting last night was the decision to form a committee here of thirty-five men to undertake work here. Nine of this committee was appointed, and they are to fill ont the number. It is intended to have all the church es 'work together in this matter. The nine men are : Rev.' TV. C. Logan, Frank Anderson, Rev. J. - C. Smih, O. F. Hoover, Ralph Leonard, Frank Southworth, Dr. "Hitchcock, A. R. Underwood, Morris Agler. A meeting of these men will soon be held to complete the committee, so that they can begin work as soon a possible. I is expected that much good will be the result of this move, not only to the individual churches, but also to the community as a whole. Serves Notice on Bosses Governor Woodrow Wilson is mak irg a fight for a square deal and open fight in New Jersey this fall. To the party bosses in the various counties who have been accustomed to putting up jobs on both' the party and the people, he serves this ultimatum: "There must be no private conferences and no putting up of a game on the party. I am going to tell everything I know, and I know a good deal. I here served notice on all men who are playing double that the game is up with them. There are in various counties men I. could name' who have had the chance of their lives. I have asked them 7hpm they served the organizationor the people. I serve notice on them that the game for them is up. They have preferred burial with dishonor to life with honor." It will be interesting to note whether the people of New Jersey will support' the governor in his clean-cut work of reform, or whether, as is often the' case, they will be bribed, bullied r bamboozled info carrying out the' pfjogram which, in spite of the governor's warning, the political bosses will most assuredly formulate.

LIGHTNING STRIKES SCHOOL BUILDING.

During the electrical storm last night the lightning struck the cupola on the Webster school building was badly demolished and a large hole was torn in, the roof at the base of the cupola. Pieces of slate and tile from the roof were scattered over the yard to the north and were even hurled entirely across the street. The slate roof probably kept the building from firing, and aside from thesligbt disfigurement meioned above there was no seriou' damage done. 'Born Lucky.: (Dayton HcraM.) You often hear it said : " That man was born lnckv." , Well, whenever you hear that, you can put it down for the honest truth that the person who savs it doesn't know what he is talking about No one. is born luck v. Did you ever, after you had locked at an oil -painting for a .while without bcinsr able to make' anything out of it, woiider what was t1. matter with it? The cows wer? all mixed up with the trees and the houses look li!;e a part of a stream and the whole picture seemed blurred . Thcn you took a couple et' steps around the r-iom. -seekinir the ri'-iht viewpoint. Suddenly yon found yourself in the riirht position. The liüht fell properly on the pic: ture. and what had been blurred and indistinct was now a perfectly clear landscape scene. That's the wav you will see these born-lucky people when von get the rivht yvlht on tboir Ilistory Tjiev iavo wrrke( j,aro for xvliat the have and hard-workincr people, as a rule, are modest. They don't go around talking about themselves. They will not brag of tliv hard work they have done or of the fine brains they have, but Ihey will tell you that there is no mere luck in succeeding and getting ahead than you can höhl on the point of a needle. "Born-lucky people" have the good trait of the bulldog.- Thev get a grip on their work, just like the bulldog gets a grip on the leg of a tramp. He never lets go until he has brought down bis game. The bulldog holds the tramp until his master arrives, and the born-lucky man bold on to his work until he has made it deliver success. (let the bulldog habit and hang on. .drip your work so that it cannot get away from 3011. - Never let go until you have succeeded in your purpose. Then some day people will point you out and say: "That man was horn lucky." Clams or Children Which? Do we love clams more than children? If we do not why did Congress without hesitation, appropriate $20,000.00 to pay experts, to study clams, and almost unanimously turn down an apropriation' of $3.000.00 to pay an expert to study children? The clam apropriation was passed in 1907, and early in 1908 the child appropriation was killed. k In 1905, the State' Board of Health presented to the Indiana General Assembly, a new health law, which had for its object, the conservation of human life. It seems to the Board that our state would do well to catch up with other states, and do like sensible, practical' work along the lines of preventing disease and saving lives. When the bill was up, a member rose and said: "I have been "requested by my constituents, over and over, to vote ( for . measures to protect hogs from cholera and trees from scale, but I have never been asked to vote for a measure to protect women and children from preventable diseases." Of course, the bill was defeated as a crank bill. Had the bill been for hogs and clams, it would not have been cranky. The reason why the $20,000.00 clam appropriation passed like greased lightning, was because the pearl button makers want clam shells to make pearl buttons from. We cannot make, anything but men and" women out of children, therefore. Congress would not give any money for such an end. It is to be said that Secretary Garfield heartily endorsed the child appropriation and when he made his argument before the Congressional Committee, a mighty member from Sink-hole rose and asked: "Does this not approach dangerously near the line of encroachment upon the rights of States and Municipalities." When will some people quit thinking it is cranky to protect the human family against disease? No one thinks it is cranky to protect hogs against cholera and trees against scale. The above from the State Board of Health. Attacks Cchool Principal. . A severe attack on scnool principal Chas. B. Allen, of Sylvania, Ga,, is thus told by him. "For more than three years," he writes, "I suffffered indescribable torture from rheumatism, ' liver and stoma cb trouble and deceased kidneys.

IS A TECHNICAL WORLD JOURNAL TELLS HOW YOUNG MAN CAPITALIZED HIS TIME AND SUCCEEDED ONE IN. TEN HEALTHY Right Pood snd Careful Living Avoiding Luxuries Can Make Heslth Ccinc Back to 'Many " v' Tt was something like three years ago that an ambitious bookkeeper complained to 'the writer of his inability to keep his eyes open the moment he applied them to books of an evening after, work. Since boy hood he had contributed to the sup port ot a iamily of seven, and now at the age of twenty-four he desired to take up shorthand and to carry a correspondence course or two. If by hook or by crook he did mnnnrvA lA 1 i 1 t maimer iu ujK uniii eieven or twelve o'clock his ' mind would be dull and heavy next day. At one time he was so ill advised as to try drinking strong tea for supper. Tea kept his eyes open alright, but headaches began to manifest themselves, and sleeplessness and other symptoms of nervousness put in ap pearance. The young man dropped thei tea, and the headaches and nervousness disappeared almost immediately, but evening work was still impossible. The writer suggested to him that he discontinue his suppers, eating at most an apple or other fresh fruit, or perhaps a small bowl of cereal flakes with the juice of a stewed fruit, lie adopted the sugestion, adding to it one of his own devising that he be careful at all -meals to choose only the digestible foods and before a year had elapsed his knowledge of shorthand had gained him a private secretaryship to the president of his concern, and he is now a small stock holder. He had capitalized his time. An eminent political economist re cently ventured the assertion that not more than one person in ten is healthy meaning by " healthy ' not "just so so, but- positively, vitally, actively, radiantly so. The other nine sore of worry along, some x positive ill health, the others neither sick nor well, both classes a burden to themselves and to those who are obliged to live and work with them. And inasmuch as these persons are so preponderr-.tingly 1 in the majority it is pertinent to ask, -Can health come back?" The answer is most emphatically, it can if you are willing to deny yourself accustomed luxuries. Selfdenial that is the price of getting well. It sounds a good deal easier than parting with good gohj, but most people prefer contributing to the support of a physician to" giving up one of their three or four daily meals, or a cup of tea. A drug trade journal recently descanted upon what it was pleased to call "the ivory-headed public. 11 The burden of the editor's satire was this: "In their ability , to resist the letting in of information concerning matters of health, the heads of a remarkably large portion of the general public seem, to be made of solid ivory, bone or wood. Patronize the restaurants and hotel dining rooms and , note how many stuff their stomachs full of unmasticated food, making it go down with icewater, coffee, beer, or wine, instead of the natural digel tive fluids of the mouth." If these strictures seem severe, try a little experiment. Select a dozen persons who for financial reasons are in particular need of the mental efficiency that comes of vigorous health, and persuade them to adopt the sugestions contained in. the following pages, and then observe how few of them persevere. When a week of proper eating fails to correct the results of a lifetime of indulgence they give up in despair and go back to ' the flesh-pots of the Nile with a suspicion . that you are a crank. 1 Ilts Fins lUxr Brick.

International Peace a Matter of Few Years

I believe that the people of the world are rapidly coming to the conclusion that all disputes can be settled by arbitration, rather .than by a resort to arms. In my opinion, the International Court at The Hague will in a ver few years be the tribunal in which all disputes "between countries will be settled; but we must also bear inmind that in order to make the decisions of that court obeyed by the nations, there must be a power somewhere to see that they are carried out. Governor William J. Mills of New Mexico in The Christian Herald. War is Unreasonable I do not regard the present agitation for International Arbitration and World-Peac as either ephemeral or "a fixed and natural desire of the human heart. r' A desire for war for its own sake, or for conquest, is an inheritance of the race from its brute period. The race has at last procrressed sufficiently so that the wisest and best of mankind are beginning to realize that the same ethical principles should govern nations as individuals:. The truest patriots are those who have caught the world vision. There is no more reason for a nation to cultivate a martial attitude towards another nation, than for one family to cultivate a martial attitude to wards another tamilv. While I would not neglect a reasonable pre paration for defense against unjust attacks, we should, remember that' in the case ot nations, as of individuals. "they that draw the sword shall perish by the sword." Chancellor Vvery, University of Nebraska, in The Christian Herald. A Carapftre on the Beach. The very materials of which the fire is built lend to it many expres sive moods and startling changes rtver set n away from the ocean's Ige. Driftwood that has been buf feted about by the waves and satn rated with bitter brine can not burn in the same calm and sedate fashion as the mere woodland pine knots and picnic branches. Driftwood has a voice and gesture all its own and can tell tales and sing songs to the sympathetic listener. Here are no overspreading tree-tops to swallowup the smoke as it rises. Great gray and white masses tower grandly aloft if the air by any chance is still. If not, it takes unto itself shapes strange, fantastic and wild in unison both with its source and its sur roundings. A waft of air from land ward may sweep it low down in a dull, black cloud right out over the eaning crests of the charging bil lows. It veils their w-hiteness and ends a d;fll, slaty tinge to their holows till it mingles imperceptibly with the offshore mists. If an in shore breeze catches it, away it rolls due among the tall beach grasses. Once in a while before a storm comes on the smoke will roll relucantly along the edge between land and water twisting and writhing in fantastic curls seemingly afraid to venture on either element. Whenever this happens look out for squalls. Trust not the deceitful quiet of the sea and the gentle, balmy airs that come now this wav and now that.

Making a Vacation Pay The best investment that many men make during tbe year is represented by the expense of their vacation. They are paying out money and earning nothing, but they are putting themselves in superb condition for great business on their' return. They are . overhauling their physical and mental machinery, renewing, alestoring, lubricating, polishing the delicate bearings and putting them in a condition to run smoothly and noiselessly for the remainder of the year.There is no investment which pays such great dividends as keeping one's physical condition up to the highest standard upon this hangs all our success and - happiness. The right kind of a vacation multiplies the power and effectiveness of all. the faculties; it increases courage, confidence, self-respect; in fact every success t and happiness faculty. Could there be a better investment? Orison Swett Harden; in "Success Magazine." r A Fierce Nlht Alarm. is the hoarse, startling cough of a chin, suddenly attacked by croup.
