WOMEN'S AFFAIRS THE BEAUTY OF LABOR THROBBING STORY OF A GIRL'S STRUGGL
PUTTING POETRY INTO SIMPLE
EVERYDAY HOUSEHOLD TASKS
Too Many Women Regard Their Daily Work as
Drudgery Instead of Making It a
Scientific Study
JACOD RII8 said, "Any, one who can put
poetry into dishwashing linn
given th world n real booiit toward the
tetter day." Are you one of thoso who In-"
Ject beauty Into homely, everyday tasks?
Or do you believe, as I heard somo one
declare, that "In labor lies the root of
Ugliness"? The man who made that stute.
Went revealed himself as sadly and woe
fully lacking In Imagination. If one but
looks for It there Is adventure and vailety
about tho simplest or the heaviest duties,
whether It bo In the field, tho shop or the
kitchen. ,
LABOR In the fields has Its obviously
J picturesque sldo as exemplified by tho
paintings of Millet and his school. Large
footed, stolid peasants havo been studied
carefully and made Interesting, romantic.
Just as Franz Hals has extolled tho charm
of the Indoors among the Dutch peasants.
But American painters have a fondness
for luxurious Interiors, for sunlit land
and seascapes; or, If they do depict toll,
they most often go down Into the foreign
quarter for It. Trobably there Is moro
color there. Yet there Is a virility about
tho average American worklngman that
Is appealing, a decision nnd swiftness
about the American "hausfrau" that Is
admirable. And It only remains for tho
Individual to create beauty there.
THE woman who goes about her dally
work clad In a kimono and a. "boudoir
cap" (a misnomer) Is certainly not a thing
of beauty nor a Joy forever. Her very
attire proclaims her dlstnsto for tho work
she Is obliged to do. Tho little wife whose
hair has a smooth twist that means busi
ness, whose morning frock was designed
for Just that, and whose apron Is donned
as 'if it wcro meant to stay put and not
to be rolled up under one nrm and con
cealed from the chance visitor. Is making
ft dignified profession of housework that
to her frowsy neighbor across tho way Is

When our Indies travel these clays,
it is often under n blue bonnet
with a red cross on it somewhere,
and a lonp, flowinf? veil,
merely drudgery. One feels perfectly
suro she goea to market with a basket
tucked under her nrm, picking nnd choos
ing carefully with her weekly budget In
view, nnd does not depend on tho
butcher and baker and candlestick maker
to solect tho best they have In stock aim
"charge" It to her.
rpoo many young wives, I believe, look
upon housekeeping as Incidental to
their other Interests Instead of embarking
upon mnrrlago with the fixed intention of
mastering It ns they would any other
lesson they may havo had to learn dur
ing their lives. Now, as never before
women can niako dignified tho simplest
and most unromantic tasks.

Preserving and Canning Methods
Tp the Editor of Woman's Pane:
Dear Madam Visas Hate how to prejervo
Taspberrlrs, also how to can heels, rhubarb, rorn.
btans and potatoes? H. M. K.
CoatesvUle. I'a.
Raspberries Wash and pick oer the ber
ries, then to each pound of berries add one
pound of sugar, rut on to boll In a largo
preserving kettle. Add no water, the Juice
of tho berries being sufficient If allowed to
steep a short tlmo before boiling. Cook
after boiling commences for one-half hour
or more, then remove, put Into sterilized
glasses nnd seal with parrafln. You will
find that the raspberries will gain in flavor
and consistency If you add nbout half as
many currants as berries.
Beets canned according to directions given
cut by the t'nltcd States Department of Ag
riculture Grade for size, color and degree
of ripeness. Wash thoroughly, using vege
table brush, Scald or blanch In hot water
sufficiently to loosen tho skin. Dip quickly
Into cold water. Scrape or pare to remove
skin. Pack whole vegetables, slices or cross
section pieces In hot glass Jars or tin cans.
Add boiling hot water until full. Add level
teaipoonful salt to quart. Place rubbers
and tops of Jars In position, partially seal,
but not tight. Cap and tip tin cans com
pletely. Place on false bottom In a vessel
of hot water which Just covers the contain
ers. Sterilize at boiling temperature In hot
water bath canners for ninety minutes.
Rhubarb Select only choice stalks of
rhubarb; wash them, but do not remove
the skin. Cut the stalks to the height of
the Jar below the neck, put as many In the
sterilized Jars as will conveniently fit, then
fill to overflowing with cold water, adjust
new rubbers and the covers and set aside In
a cool place This Is the cold-water method
which Is used for rhubarb.
Corn, beans, tomatoes, according to the
one-period cold-pack method If you use
a wash boiler provide a false bottom of
wooden lattice work or coarse wire netting
for It, then fill with clean water, so that
when boiling It will cover the tops of the
Jars or cans, rtegln heating so that It will
be boiling violently by the time the contain
ers are packed. Too much stress cannot be
Jald on the importance of absolute steriliza
tion of Jars, lids and new rubber rings.
Wash and sort carefully the vegetables,
throwing out all those that are slightly
marked and if possible can them the same
day they are picked. Blanch the tomatoes
by placing them In boiling water for from
three to five minutes, then removing, plung
ing quickly Into cold water, the colder the
better, and dialnlng Immediately. Prepare
the beans and corn as for cooking. Work
quickly and as each article Is prepared pack
it directly Into the scalded Jars or cans an
solidly as possible, but without bruising or
rnashlng. Fill the containers to overflowing
with boiling water to which a little salt has
bean added. Place rubber rings and screw
tops down, then place in wash boiler.
Let the tomatoes process for twenty-two
minutes at 212 degrees Fahrenheit, which is
the boiling temperature reckoning from the
time boiling Is resumed. The beans should
process for two hours or 120 minutes and
the corn (off or on the cob) for 180 minutes.
At the end of this time remove the contain
ers, carefully screw down the lids and
stand them upside down In a cool place. No
draft should be allowed to strike the hot
fara. Store In a cool, dry place.
To Keep Mosquitoes Away

Dear Madam Can rou tall ma of anr war

Letter of Thanks
To thr Editor o Woman's Pane:
Dear Madam A society of whtch my uncla
was a member sent n wreath In his memory for
his funernl last week. It was beautiful, and I
want to know If I should write to each member
LIVING UP- TO
BILLY
By ELIZABETH COOPER
yf the society or to the president, and what shall
I say? "Thanks for your sympathy and heautl
ful flowers." I though teht do KITTY.
I am afraid Just thi - sentence would not
be quite cordial enough. It Is all right to
send a card on V ch Is written "Many
thanks for sympatic" to those who havo
sent you cards or short notes, but letters
and flowers especially deserve more notice
Wrlto to the pre ndent and say that It was
very kind and thoughtful of tho society to
send the wreath, and through him (the
president) you want to thank the members
for their sympathy and gift. The note need
not be long, but It should sound cordial
and appreciative.
Formula for Almond Milk
To le Editor o Woman1, Foot:
Dear Madam Kindly publish a reclne for
making almond milk? I vm, !..i.i!r?ip?...r?!
almonds or sweet oil? Is sweet cream good for
the face? How should It bo used?
ANVA K
This formula for almond cream (Cret'ne
d'Amandes) Is given by the Scientific Ameri
can Cyclopedia of Formulas: Two hundred
and twenty parts pure fresh lard, 120 parts
of solution of potassa, containing twenty
six degrees of caustic potash, ten parts
stxty degrees alcohol, ojl of bitter almonds!
q a. Triturate the lard and potassa solu
tion In a porcelain or wedgewood mortar and
let It stand a few hours, then add the alco
hol and sufficient oil of bitter almonds to
give the proper flavor. Finally mlr ,,ntn
the mass Is uniform and resembles mother
of pearl.
I do not believe there is any particular
virtue in the use of sweet cream on the
fac-. Jf. you wl" ba,ne your 'ace every
night before retiring with buttermilk, allow
ing the buttermilk to remain on overnight
the skin will be kept soft, white and velvety!
Remedy for Perspiration
M. B. P., dermantown Prepare the fol
lowing powder to' be applied to the hands
and feet or sprinkled Inside the gloves or
stockings: Twenty ounces prepared Venetian
talcum, ten ounces powdered orris root, five
ounce oxide of sine, five ounces powdered
tartaric acid, five ounces powdered borlo
acid, twb and one-ha.lt ounces sallcycllc acid
one-quarter ounce menthol, one-quarter
ounce oil of eucalyptus.
To Reduce Swollen Feet
To fa KUtor ol Woman', Paot:
Dear Madam Can rou tell me how to reduce
wolWm feet? PEAnL M.
This trouble must be caused by some In
ternal disorder; I would advise you to con
sult a physician. The feet after much
standing sometimes become slightly swollen
and ache. This can be remedied by bath
'ng them In water to which Epiora salts
have been added.

Dear Kate:
I don't know how I'm going to tell you,
so you won't feel too bad. Jim Is dead. He
sent two or three times to mo asking mo
for money, and I wouldn't send It to him,
cause 1 didn't hao It, and when the last
fellow threatened to take the kid, I told
him to go to tho devil, that tho kid was
where they couldn't touch It. Well, that
night I JURt got homo from work and had
taken my waist off and was starting to
brush my hair when I saw my door open
sneaking like, and Jim crept In. I was
paralyzed for a mlnlt nnd couldn't move,
Just stood thcio with the brush on my hair,
lie had been drinking nnd looked nwful I
said low like, "Jim, for God's sake, Jim,
why do you come here?" He said, "Where
else am I to go?" 1 said, "Jim, go-go
don't stay a mlnlt."
lie didn't moo, Just stood nnd looked at
me. "nut, Jim," I said, "the police, they're
watching tho place " He como up to mo
an! put his faco closo against initio and I
backed nway, and said, "Jim, get out. You've
been drlnkln'." Then ho s-rt of got sore
and he said, "What do you mean by scndln
mo tho incssagcH you h.ie7" 1 said, "I
mean Just what I said, 1 ain't got no moro
money tn glr you," and ho sneered nt me
"Oh, you ain't got no money, and you ain't
hauling down thirty a week, nro you?"
"Well," I said, "suppose I am, It's mine, ain't
If" And then ho said I ought to dly up
when a feller'3 ln trouble, and nt that I got
mail "Dlvy up?" I said. "Olvy up. What
hno I been dolif tho last month but dly
up I'o glvo you nil I got. Why don't
you get out of the country, you'll bo pinched
tin first thing you know" And then he
said fierce llko and with nn nwful look on
hla face, "You take It from me, Nan, they'll
nover pinch Jim Sheridan. If tho bulls git
me, It'll bo berauso I can't hnndlo a gun "
I didn't know what to do with him nnd I
said again, "Get out, Jim, I'm scared to
death you'vo been seen." Ho said. "Glmmc
somo money 1 got tn havo money." I vked
him, "What'0 jou dono with all I tent
jou I'o glxc you enough to tako you to
Australia" lip said. "l'o had to pay for
my hldln' and I got to put up somo more "
That Mnd ef inado me sick and I said,
"Well, you'll hao to get It from somo one
else then, l'c glvo you tho last dollar I've
got. l'si busted" He kind of saw It was
true I think, cause ho started looking around
tho room, then he said. "Where's tho kid"'
I said, "Never you mind where ho In," and
ho got sore again and said, "Never mind m
own kid Well, believe me, he's mine, nnd
1'va got nn Idea 1 want him. Whero is he? '
an! 1 said, "He's where ynu won't get hltn "
Jim como over to mo again and stood In
front of me and says. "Ho is. Is he? Well,
I'm going to have him," and then 1 got mad
clear through nnd said, "Well, you can't
have hltn So help mo God, Jim. If you
try to touch Hilly, I'll peach on you ns suro
as 1'n, alive "
Jim laughed nnd said, "Yes, you will,
you ain't that kind," and I said quick,
"Oh, I ain't, nln't I No, I ain't that kind.
I been brought up tn believe that It's the
last trick to peach, but I'll go back on nil
I ever knowed. and put you behind tho
bars If vou excr try tn touch that kid"
Jim kind nf sneered. "Whnt do you want
of him?" he mid , "he nln't no better orf
with you thnn with me." I sulci, "Pet haps
he ain't. Hut ho won't be raided with
crooks nnd grow up feeling that crooked
nets Is straight He'll know decent piuple
not a lot of cheap ccond story men nnd
dips."
Jim laughed "You're a nlco one to talk,
old Hill l,ano'H daughter." And then Kate,
oh 1 said uvvful things, nnd I remember
every word and go oer It all at night. I
said. "Yes, and Kate Lane's sister. 1 Know,
1'vo had It tubbed ln enough. No one ever
says Naniy Lane, they alvvnvs pay Hill
I.anc'a daughter, Kute Lane's sister or
Jim Sheridan's Mster-in-law Hain't I had
that tu tight against all my life? Hain't I
lost every good chance that I eer had to
work ln the good places. Just because I've
had. to buck against the reputation of my
family? And then when you come ln the
family. I might a carried tho others, but
no one could cany ou Why, ou dirty
crook, you're known from San Francisco
to New York, nnd I've had to work ln cheap
shows and dirty cabarets Just because of
ou always coming and queering me when
I got started, Look at tho crowd I go
with." I t-ald. "Do vou suppose I'm crnzy
about them? Dut I have to go with that
kind, the kind that don't fall dead, when
they find out who I am." Jim looked at
me a mlnlt, then he said, "You're getting
dam nlco lately, what's the matter with
jou?" I thought n mlnlt and then I said,
"Yes, I'm dlfforent, I know It, but I've
had most two years of not bavin' to bo
scared to death, not having to look over my
shoulder for fear a cop was following me to
find out about fomo of you. I've been able
to read the papers without being scared
I'd see some of our names ln It, and I've
been allowed to work ln peace.
"And I've done good work too, I've been
able to leave the rotten Joints and I'm
workln' up, nnd I'd get to the top If I was
left alone. Why the only peace I'vo had ln
all my life has been the last year when
you and Dad and Kate was all ln Jail. I
been able to sleep nights knowing where
you nil was and that you couldn't be doing
nothing to get In trouble "

legumes are among tho most economical

are. however, that they aro by no means

In proper quantities and to removo the hulls.
This can be done by running through a
colander after cooking If this ls unde
sirable, they may be made fairly easy of
digestion by first soaking ln cold (preferably
soft) water until tho hulls aro broken, then
cooking. Split peas havo their hulls re
