M'LISS TELLS EXPERIENCE
, ' WITH FIRST BOARDING HOUSE
She Commends the Excellent Organization Re
cently Established in This City to
Safeguard Girls
A LETTER haa como to mo from Miss
Mary ft. I Solsor, ona of the women
most actively Interoated In tho nowly
established Philadelphia tiurcaU of Board
Ins Houses for Girls, tho high motives
Jfor tho organization of which havo al
ready gained a countrywide recognition.
Miss Solsor asks If I am Interested in
knowing of tho work the bureau Is doing,
and In tho letter published below outlines
that work. I am interested, so deeply In
terested that I am minded to become per
sonal In explaining Just how much.
I came to Philadelphia an utter
stranger and plunged In tho fray of
newspaper work. I knew how to'tako
care of mysolf. I know that not all men
and not all women woro good. I had
money enough to pay for a dcslrablo
room lh a dcslrablo locality. But becauso
I was pressed for time, and becauso I
had had no provlous oxpcrlenco In select
ing a boarding houso or In living In one,
I got Into a hoUso about which I havo
bad my suspicions ever since tho happy
day I left It
There was no place In that house to
receive guests and, although It rather
hocked mo at first when I found out
that tho women received their male call,
era In their rooms, I soon accepted It as
ono of tho disadvantages of boarding
houso Ufo which they made tho best of
while deploring it Just tho same.
A folding door, bulwarked by my ward
robe, lad Into the 'room next mine, which
was occupied by a young working woman.
From the alternato coolngs and quarrel
ing that took placo overy night I Judge
that sho was at least engaged to the
man who called regularly. It was dis
tasteful to me to have to listen to all
this and I realized that I should havo
to move. But tho now duties that I had
Assumed were all tho moro arduous be
causo unfamiliar and I could not And the
time.
Often my work took mo out at night.
Bovoral times when I returned homo later
than I liked being out alono some of the
men boarders wore abroad In tho un
savory emelllng halls of the house, and
they ogled mo in a way that made mo
both uncomfortable and furious. On
these occasions-1 told myself that I must
look for a new homo there was Irony in
tho word elsewhere. But always I was
too busy or tired. And then, too, I did
not know how or where to look.
Tho climax came when tho room was
taken on tho other side of mlno by a besotted-looking
Individual and his anemic
wife. About tho fourth night that they
had been thero I was awakened some
time after midnight by tho most oxecra
bio noises emanating from their domain.
The woman was sobbing pitiably And tho
man accompanied hor with a cacophony
of sounds that wero part fiendish laugh
tor, part shocking curses, part breaking
of chfnawaro and part maudlin masculine
sobbing.
1 was terrified, with nerves as Jlggly
as gelatine. Directly the other occupants
of the houso began to stir, and I heard
a great pattering of foet and then much
whispering In tho vicinity of our hall.
Mcanwhllo tho blood-curdling noises con
tinued. "Tho man Is dying," was my first
thought. Or perhaps ho is crazy and
will kill tho woman. I leaped out of bed,
hastily donned a kimono and put my
head outsldo tho door.
Thoro was nssembled tho motley crow
which comprised tho companions of my
first boardlng-houso episode Men with
tousled heads and dingy dressing gowns;
women with tho rouge off and tho curl
papers on.
"Ho must bo terribly 111," I said, by
way of making my presence known, and
I nm sure tho terror I was feeling must
havo shown In my faco and voice.
A man, In a turkey-red robo with blue
dragons on It, threw back his head and
laughed.
"Go to bed, little sister," ho said when
ho had done; "he's not HI; ho's only as
drunk as a lord."
The noxt day I told my predicament to
an older woman. She took an hour of
her valuable tlmo and that night I was
established In a boarding houso such ns
I had never dreamed had existed. It came
Just about as near to being homo as any
boardlng1 houso can be.
I should say I nm Interested In tho
Philadelphia Bureau of Boarding Houses
for Girls. Had such an organization ex
isted when I first came to tho "big city"
I would havo been saved much mental
anguish, an anguish that I would not
"wish" on my most cherished onemy.
SInco my own experience, nnd Blnco I
havo come to know Philadelphia well, I
realize that tho doslrable boarding houses
are Innumerable. All that was needed was
that tho good be separated from tho bad.
In standardizing the boarding houses
of this enormouB city, and thus In safe
guarding tho girls who como hero to
work, tho bureau Is performing a func
tion for which no words of praise aro
strong enough. I nm sure thero Is a
wholo army of women who will Join me
In felicitating tho moving spirits of the
organization on tho splendid work they
havo undertaken. M'LISS.

Letters to the Editor of the Woman's Page
Address oil communications to M'LIss, core of the Ermine Trfdier. Write on ono alilo
of tlto paper only.
Dear M'I.Iss As your articles In the EvrJNINO
X.EDOER. deal with fflrls and tho problems of
firls, I felt that you mleht be Interested to
know of tho work of the Philadelphia llurenu
f Boardlnc Houses for Girls.
The purpose of tho bureau is to And clean,
respectable boarding or rooming: houses for
iris tn any section of the city. The bureau
feels that out of the 4000 boarding houses of
Philadelphia there must be many that are decent
and respectablo and the scopo -wide enough
throughout the city to Insure the closeness of
living and working accommodations. It offers
Itself as the agency to make easy the connection
between the girl who wants room and board nnd
the boarding house keeper who wants the girl.
The bureau will keep a list of boarding houses,
carefully Inspected and coming up to a certain
Bliti standard. The rooms will be of varying
rices, so that accommodations may be offered to
all. even to the low-wage girl. In fact, the
bureau was organized to help this class of girl
mora than any other, and the problem of, placing
her Is the hardest one with which we have to
deal. If you can give me any Information or
any help In securing the names and addresses
of people who would be willing to board one or
two girls for tho extra money Involved It would
be a great help. There are plenty of accom
modations to be had for the girls who make
higher wages, but It Is most difficult to rind
respectable homes for the girl making $0 and S8.
lour name was suggested to me as that of
one who would be. Interested In this work and
who might give me Borne help.
MATtY (l. I.. SGLSOR.
Dear M'LIss I am a high school student,
and as such I suppose the article of yesterday
on respect for parents applies to me In daring
to correct a philosopher. Hut I will say that
even In kindergarten I knew that "Honor thy
father and thy mother" Is the Fourth nnd not
the Fifth Commandment. J. F. X.
noxborough, Pa.
Was your kindergarten a Catholic one?
The Catholic catechisms teach thn,t "Honor
thy father and thy mother" Is the Fourth"
Commandment; the King James version of
the Bible, however, gives It bb the fifth.
Thank you for your Interest Just the same.

Maple Syrnp Turned Sour
I have two quart bottles of gentitne apple
-Trup I melted myself. It ought to keep well,
but I found this noon that It Is slightly sour.
Can you tell me of any way by which It may
b Improved) It Is the first unfortunate expert
neo of this kind I bava ever had and the syrup
is only somewhat acid. it.
If you had poured out the contentB of
the bottles Into a kettle and brought the
syrup quickly to a boll, the alight acidity
might have been corrected. I have repeat
edly saved threatened Jellies and Jams by
this action. As It la, I should make the ex
periment even at this lata day. Put an
even teaapoonful of baking soda Into the
, two quarts of syrup and add a half cup of
sugar. Bolt steadily for 16 minutes, strain
and bottle hot, having tho hoated bottles
set In hot water while you fill them. When
.they are cold, wrap tn thick paper and keep
fa a cool, dry place.
Par Le Due
1 You mar think It rather early to be thinking
of putting up ourranta. but we havo so many
bushes In our garden that I went to know la
season of several ways of putting them up.
For Instance, now that wo "cannot get bar I
Sua from abroad,' cannot It ba put up as welt
on. this slda of tho waterl I have eaten some
that had no foreign, laber upon It. At any rate,
J mean to try it If ,1 can get a good recipe,
llave you one! And Is It necessary to seed the
eurrantsT It must bo a terribly tedious busi
ness! A. U. 1.
Do not attempt to seed the currants un
less you have notning- else to occupy time
and hands ! Much of the foreign bar le duo
la prepared la tnat way. tna seeas Being
extracted with a biff needle by women who
have attained skill In the delicate task by
long practice. The tlrot of these women
Is seldom worth more than a f rana per day.
That la JO cents of our currency. 1 can
give you a guaranteed recipe for the con
serve, which will. I think, be quite as ac
ceptable to your family and guests aa the
seedless: Stem large, ripe currants care
fully weigh them and allow three pounds
of sugar to each pound of fruit. Oet a
pint of juice from crushed currants. Put
It Into the preserving- kettle with the three
pouwio of sugar and cook for Ave minutes,
kltnmlosT closely. Add a pound of the
whole currants and cook for five minutes
lekfer- Strain the currants out of the
syrup and, without, breaking them, put Into
- bowl. Return th syrup to the fire and
Weil until thick and clear, Skim this and

print a translation of one of these recipes,
received a little while ago from on emi
nent linguist, who vouches for tlje cor
rectness of the formula as set down in
the original tongue.
"Turkey pie For this dish Is used good
forcemeat of veal or fillet of pork, to
which, however, should not be added much
fluid. A deep dish Is carefully greased
and then covered with puff paste (butter
paste), which in Its turn Is covered with
an ample layer of the forcemeat, In which
are pressed slices of preserved onion and
strips of cucumber. Nice pieces of turkey
roast (left over) may be used, larded with
strips of cucumber and placed In the dish
with the larded sides upward. If ono
have only a small quantity of roast avail
able, but some nice forcemeat balls, these
are cut Into slices and larded In the same
way as the roast. One can also alternate
with layers of the forcemeat balls and the
roast until the quantity of meat wanted has
been obtained. Between the layers Is pour
ed good strong gravy and the last layer Is
-made out of the same forcemeat that was
used for covering the dish. Then the whole
Is covered with a layer of the paste. In
this paste some little incisions are made by
means of a pointed sharp knife and It Is
pressed quite (Irmly against the rim of the
dish, after which the pie Is brushed over
with egg. It Is baked In an oven 1H hours.
If It Is Inclined to become brown, It Is
covered over' with white, buttered paper.
When ready it Is left to steam off (cool)
for a few minutes before It Is served with
strong brown gravy, to which may be added
wine."
To our native housewife who lays aside
the foreign formula with the reminder to
the editor that "turkeys are out of sea
son," let me remind her that the aforesaid
hearty dish may be made by substituting
the all-the-year-round chicken for the
bigger bird. Try this method of using
up cold meats and report results to the
Corner.

GOOD FORM
M. S. S. R. Heard From Again
Dear Dehor ah Rush I hnvo read nil the let
ters that have appeared In your column since I
started the ball rolling by objecting to giving
up my seat In a car, and none of tho letters
havo told me why I should give up my sent.
I think If some of your women writers were
men they would thmk tho same way ml do.
At least, there ore iulto n few men who do.
or else the cars would not have so many women
standing and alt the men sitting In seuts during
the rush hour. You say you have seen women
refuse seats! well. If they did that to mo I would
turn all colors of the rainbow. Hoping somo
reader will tell me why I should give up my
seat, I am, the little whlppersnapper,
I do not see, 51. S. S. II.. that you have
explained in either of your letters. why you
should not give up your sent. Surely, tho
reason would bo that the stronger should
give up to tho weaker, out of ordinary
courtesy, and. physically, women nre not so
strong ns men. though often they aro
stronger mentally.
Cutting Bread With Knife
Dear Deoorah Rualt Is It allowable to cut
one's bread with a knife when entlngJ
No; It is considered very bad form to cut
one's bread. It should be broken apart. A
wholo slice of bread should never ba eaten,
either. It should always bo broken first.
Doilies For Tea
Dcor Deborah Rush Do you think It Is necea.
sary to give dollies to one's guests when serving
them nfternoon teaj Is It correct to serve Iced
tea on warm afternoons? I'LOIth,.NCE.
Yes. It Is very uncomfortablo not to
have a napkin of some kind on which to
wipe one's fingers, and a dolly Is the proper
kind to use for tea. It Is not only correct,
to serve cold tea, but preferable to hot tea
on a hot afternoon.
A Point of Greeting
Dcor Detoron Ituih This problem was put to
me yesterday and I would like you to solve It for
me: A man Is walking on tha street with a lady
and they meet a servant, who la known to both
of them, and the lady bows as she passes him.
Should the man take oft his hat or just nod) If
he takes off his hat what Is his reason for so
doing) CbAUDB.
Yes, the man should lift his hat. A gentle
man always raises his hat even If he does
not know tha person to whom his companion
Is bowing. lie does this out of courtesy to
the woman with whom he Is walking rather
than to the person to whom she bows.
Who Descends First
Dear Deborah Ituthlt a man and woman are
riding In a motor carriage and the vehicle stops
at the curb nearest the woman should aba get
out first or sit still and allow the man to pass
her! ALMA.
Courtesy demands that the man should
pass the woman and stand on the pavement
by the carriage ready to give her assistance
as Bhe steps out,

When You ATMar.keting Go
Do you always make It a point to do your
own marketing?. You should, for It's the
only way to feel BUre that you are getting
the full benefit of tho money expended.
The phone method Is a waste of money
when It comes to the question of ordering
provisions. If tho butcher hasn't tho exact
article you mention, he Invariably sends
somothlng more expensive or of an Inferior
grade. Unless you have a dealer that you
can trust, avoid tho phone method of or
dering. It Is better to use a hanging scale In tho
kitchen, becauso It Is more exact than tho
kind that has adjustable weights. The
number of bushels, quarts and ounces Is
stamped somewhere on each package you
buy; weigh them yourself when you get
home, to make sure. OH cans, fruit baskets,
potato sacks nnd the like often have false
bottoms, nnd when you buy them you pay
for articles that you do not get. You can
only find these things out by doing your
own shopping and your own invest'gatlng.
It pays in tho long run.
Combination Pie
I.lne a pie plate with rich pastry, fill with
a cupful of rhubarb and one of strawber
ries and one of sugar. Sprinkle with a bit
of flour, as It Is very Juicy,' put on the sec
ond crust and bake until brown. It's a
dandy pie.
k Polish Up!
Olive oil la the proper cleanser for dull,
dirty mother-of-pearl articles. Apply with
a woolen cloth and polish thoroughly, A
chamois may also be used. It gives a
high lustre.
CLEANLINESS BEST SAFEGUARD .
AGAINST THE DEADLY TYPHUS
THIS story Is primarily for the benefit
of the soldiers preparing for Mexico.
Very much tho most Important health
hazard for them In Mexico Is typhus fever.
Mexican typhus Is of the worst That
which demolished a Serbian army Is no
worse than that which our soldiers may
havo to contend against In Mexico.
The bacillus of typhus, circulates In the
blood of persons Infected with tho disease
It 'Is almost Universally accepted now that
tho bacillus Is spread from man to man by
tho bite of tho ordinary body louse. While
thero Is a vaccine against typhus It Is not
certain that If Is effective. That menns
thnt tho measures for the control of typhus
which have proved moBt effective are
measures directed against lice.
Vhcn measures ngalnst lice were In
augurated In tho British nrmy nt tho front
It was found that 85 per cont, of the men
were Infested. Tho average numbor of lice
per soldier was 30.
Hody lice broed In tho clothing. Tho pre
ferred placo Is the seam In the fork 6f tho
trousers. In .10 minutes after a hlean shirt
or clean undonvenr have been put on tho
Insects Infest them.
When lice nbound they are likely to In
fest buildings nnd trenches, furniture and
bedclothlng. This, however, Is exceptional.
They prefer to stick lo warm clothing In
touch with the liumnn body. Theroforo,
men, not houses, trenches, tents, beds or
bedding aro tho chief sourco of Infestation.
Men should be given a certain tlmo In
which to search for Ilea In their clothes.
Good opportunities for bathing must be pro
vided. Clothes that can bo wnshed should
bo freed of vermin by boiling, This kills
both llco nnd nits. Clothes other thnn wnsh
clothes should bo sterilized by passing
through Btcnm In n sterilizer at 21B. Clothes
that can neither bo boiled nor Btcnmed can
bo freed of llco and nits by Ironing. A
hot Iron kills llco nnd eggs. Clothes should
bo Ironed once or twlco n woek.
Tho best lnscctlcldo Is N. C. I. powder,
consisting of naphthalene, 96 per cent. ;
creosote, 2 per cent. ; Iodoform, 2 per cent.
A. cheaper, nnd the English say a better,
powder, Is naphthalene, 9G per cent. ; crco
soto, 2 per cent. ; magnesium alllcnte, 2 per
cent. This can bo called tho N. C. M. pow
der.. This powder should bo dusted on tho
body nnd In the clothes twice a week. Tho
powder Is a little Irritating to tho skin
botwoon tho logs. On that part of tho
body Instead of applying tho powder grease
with crudo oil ointment, four pounds ; soft
parallln, two pounds, crudo tar oil.
To clean tho hair of llco and nits mop
the hair with cotton wet with tctrachtor
thano. An oxcollcnt emergency means of ridding
clothes of lice nnd nits' Is to put them In
kerosene. There aro co'rtaln practical ob
jections to Its general use on a large scalo.
Tho N. C. M. powder Is also to bo dusted
In tho bedding.
Other louse remedies having some virtue,
according to a late English report, are:
Vermljolll; sulphur fumes; ono and one
half solution crcsol solution; chloride of
lime, 7 per cent, solution ; fresh Dalmatian
Insect powder ; mercury ointment ; white
mercury powder. Sulphur and various pro
prietary preparations were found useless.
Shoulder Braces
Will you kindly let me know through your
very Instructive department whether you recom
mnnd the use of a shoulder braco for round
shou!dcrs7 I should also like to know what harm
there might bo In Its use. I am a young
man of IT. S. T.
No. You ennnot devolop your shoulaers
except by developing the muscles of your
neck and trunk. Do this by gymnnslum
work and play. Dar work and climbing
hand over hand aro especially good. Braces
weaken tho muscles.
Pyorrhea
I am troubled with soro gums which bleed
quite frequently, though teeth seem sound. Can
you advlso a preventive? PAT,
You have pyorrhea. Havo your dentist
clean your teeth and treat your gums. Use
an Ipecac mouth wash at home. ' Mouth
wash: Three drops of fluid extract of Ipe
cac In half a glass of water.
Cataract of Eye
Will you please answer the following questions:
1. What are tho first symptoms of cataract of
the eye? 1. Can anything be done to retard the
development? 8. At what stage of development
Is the best tlmo for operation? 4. What per
cont. of such operations are successful? &. To
what extent Is the sight restored? O. S.
1. Dimness of vision, clouds beforo tho
eyes, objects sometimes appear distorted,
sometimes they appear double. The patient

.changed. Tho ophthnlmologlst easily rec
ognizes tho trouble.
2. All sources of eye strain should bo re
moved. If tho glasses do not fit they should
be chnnged. If tho eyes are exposed to
bright light or to great heat, as in glass
blowing, the man should change his Job.
3. Ono group of specialists say wait two
