JWRS. WILSON TELLS HOW I
TO COOK ME A TONGAS RANGE
y MRS. M. A. WILSON

I DETERMINED to know just what
the housewife had in her mind as a
f-uitnblc drt .II, .j, i famil . i I
started n menu i-i.utt. liniitinc the
price of the dinner for four people
to $l.fi0. Aftpr Innkim; over the melius
submitted I am forced to ay I surel
feel very sorrv fur the man in the
ftverage houi if h" lin- to dept-ud upon
the food fumUheil from this meal.
which should be the -retaining meul of
the daj.
About "!(() menus wern received in
the earl. part of the contest from
lymien of eMdent refinement and Mine
In homes that were nirelv located
There were eight boiled dinners, one
vegetarian meal. t n inuu- -! ing '"i
fish. The balam e wc ,. fried metitN
This same condition exiited in another
large cosmopolitan city where 1 held
thp contest last spring.
The autonihing ne of fried meats
led me to si. information among the
cattlemen, the pa 'iters and finally the
butcher in the home town. One ami
all agree that s,n, tlm increasing price
df meat tho average housewife demand-'",
a small steak or chops-hence the cat-
tleman in turn is producing the light
weight beef. This means thnt she re
ceives meat that is of inferior qualitv .
ns it Incks the weight nnd tho fat of
high-grade meat, and therefore it con
tains less nutriment to the pound.
The housewife of yesteryear uould
not think of selecting meat of this quul
ity. because he knew verv uell that
heavy high-grade beef, with n propor
tionate amount of fat. gave the best
value for the money.
Many butchers sav that it i almost
impossible to ell tIia forequarters of
beef to the American housewife, and
if It verc not for our foieign popu
lation tne increased cost of steak and
chons would make them prohibitive for
the averuge American table.
I have personally seen the hutcher
takp the neck and various part of the
chuck and prepare it into chopped meat
or hamburg steak, and then sell more
of It than he could prepare. He told
me that tho housewife wants something
that can be cooked quickly.
This kind of meat requires long, moist
conking, and no amount of rhopping
or cutting will malte It tender. There
fore, when this finely chopped meat Is
formed into cake und fried quickly,
in hot fat. it eontnin little real nutri
ment. In seeking the cause for thl great
demand for nieuts thnt cook qulcklv,
'from the housewife's point of view, I
found it a combination of a desire to
evade the conking and a lack of thf
real knowledge of the method of using
the gas range
IV of Oas ICnnge
The gas range hn superseded tho
roal fire in large cities and rural dis
tricts nnd the idea of a large gas bill
prevents many women from cooking
foods ns thev should be done.
Tlii is a mistaken eionouij. If the
housewife will but study her range,
Mie will realize that it is for cheaper
to use the gas rang for cooking than
If she could bii" eonl for S. a
ton.
And vhy i this1 Because no fuel
need be wasted, but. to obtain real
economy, nlun to utilize the oven to Its
full capacity,
IJinve seen s housewife start food
to cook on n lorge burner nnd then,
when the boiling point was reached,
refuse to turn down the tlnme of the
burner, benuse of the mistaken idea
thnt this increasing heat would cook
the food more quickly. This is n very
r-erlou mistuke nnd ojie of the causes
of exorbitant gas bills. Once the boil
ing point is reached, It 1 impossible
to- Increaso tho heat or temperature of
the contents of the saucepan beyond
212 degrees, without the use of the
pressurp conker This Increase of heat
Iocs not cook the food any moro
quickly ; it really toughens the fibers
nnd then they fall apart in bundles.
This rapid boiling also dissolves and
permits the escape of the volatile) oils
or flavoring In the meat. While, if
this meat, when the boiling point is
readied, wcro at ouco trausferred to
the simmering burner, it would continue
to cook slowly and the result would be
food containing a better flavor and
store nutriment.
There is also n decided reduction in
- tkc? cote's. tliU method of cooking. The

He's Ao'ln Powder
Icar Cynthia In reading various
newspapers I used to skip tho "lovelorn"
columns until I tried tho Evenino
Ptmua Ledobr. and now I usually find
yours Interesting.
Of cburso tho plifle written by lan
guishing, love-sick, maidens (probably
Indited on scented purplo paper) la mad
dcnlng as a Btcady diet, but It Is par
donable when In between such missives
are sandwiched some of tho holpful and
sensible letters from several of your cor
resiwndents Happy and the Buck, Pri
vate aro tho only ones I can recall Just
now but you have somo good ones.
Letters written by "mon-haters'' and
"womon-haters" aro only Interesting; as
tne maniiesiauons or a mina tnat is u
little unbalanced and falls to tako the
proper healthy outlook on life.
I havo been particularly Interested In
the energetic crusado of somo of your
writers against me rccKicsB uso ox paint
and powder. Put me down as one of
thorn Buck Private may have Binelt
powder on the other sldeM but I'll bet
never as much as ho don over here.
The effort to look like an apple-cheeked
kewnlo doll by nlasterlntt the face with
red paint is worse than useless; It not
only falls to fool anybody, but In tlms
it ruins wnai migui nave Docn, Dy aim
of a llttte exercise and fresh air, a really
good complexion.
About a year ago I came across this
In an old copy of Graham's Magazine,
dated In 18B0:
"Our own Chestnut streetf speaking
of Philadelphia) can show faces ns fair
as any of those which ever shyly glanced
from the grirtea .miconies or. seviiic. in
fact, this thoroughfare Is noted for the
beaut; of Its girls and young ladles."
The article goes on to depict the Joys
of an nftcrnoon stroll, which seem to
verify Its reputation, I suppose in 1850
rouge und red paint (substantially paint,
anyway) wcro not used so lavishly and
apparently or tho above paragraph would
never have been written, Some of your
writers might relate present-day expe
riences on Chestnut street with those
dear baby dolls.
No one except a fanatic on the subject
would object to o. little powder (not ob
viously applied), but as for helping
Mother Nature along with rouge, sago
tea, peroxide, lip sticks, eyebrow pen

never mind, Cynthia, I'm not going to
disgrace your column. ...
SOUTHERNBR,
A Happy Wlfo
Dear Cnthla There has been so much
miL- from t he-bo va In vor column lately
about the "dreadful girls" that I think;
I'll Just say u tew woriiH to ncip nioiiR
Bovs. don't you think you nro rather
talking nbout something you don t know
much about? How do you know what
kind of a wife this girl or that girl will
make? Perhaps If you married one of
these girls you are so quick to run down
you might bo surprised, ulrls dress
and uso rouge or paint, as you call It, .o.
make themselves attractive. I urn will
ing to bet every one of you will alw.ijs
pick the nicest dressed and beat looking
girl to take out. I know, as I am a girl
nnd soon learned to use rouge and pow
der and buy the prettiest dresses I could
afford, or else sit In the house every ove-
I don't mean I went too far and looked
like a painted Indian But I knew I had
to look nice or' bo without boy friends.
And now that I am married nnd have .1
prcttv little homo nnd two dear kiddies
I reallv don't think my husband Is sp
very unhappv or my babies neglected
Anvwav. hubby likes his home and
doesn't run aiound or stay out on busi
ness (?) We are buying our littlo home,
so both of us have to bo careful of our
pennies, so rouge and fancy dresses art
out of the question for me Just now.
But I am satisfied to stay home and
care for hubby, the babies and our home.
That gives mo plenty to do; no time for
wasting hubby's money, though In our
house It Is not hubby's money or my
money. He pays so much overy ween
off the amount we still owe ior me
house and Just keeps what he needs for
carfare, tobacco and pocket money, then
gives me the rest. I buy food and what
ever I need for ourselves or the houBO.
nnd nt the end of the week whatever Is
left I put nslde for Improvements for
the house or yard, as we live In the
suburbs and have a lovely big piece of
ground for lawns and gardens. So you
see, boys, here's one girl who spent heaps
of monev for clothes and perhaps fool

spent nenrly all I made, as I only had
myself, hnvlng no home or people, and
as I had n little bank account before I
was left alone in the world I didn't
bother to savo any more. Just enjoyed
myself and bought whatever I wanted.
But now I am saving, believe me. Wo
don't even go to a movie these days on
account of the children being too young
to tnkc, and we do not believe In locking
children In a houso alone. Besides,
hubby works In our yard until It begins
to get dusk after we have our supper.
Then we have our books or music or
have friends come In. so really neither
of us Is sorry or unhappy because we we
mnrrled. No matter how much monev a
spent nenrly all I made,
girl spenas nerore sue is nwrricu, i in
sure nine out of ten would be saving and
willing to do her share for the man she
loed enough to marry Only ho must
do his slimy also, not leave It all to

this world to ever get along. By the

Illustration above, the young woman
seems to havo ventured Into a neighbor

of her kind by a Plymouth fishwife was
not at all amiss t "Nobody asked you
to como around here turning up your

Repugnance Is one of the Ignobler
emotions, which should be suppressed by
the exercise of self-control. No thor
oughbred gentlewoman would permit
herself to manifest In public any distaste
for persons or surroundings, no matter
how humble the people nor how squalid
their environment.
Adventures With a Purse
I HAD really finished 'the day's nd
venturing and was walking peace
fully along, homeward bent, when the
sign "special sale" caught my atten
tion. That hcttlcd it I went back nnd
Investigated. And here" is what I
found very smnrt pockctbooks for the
new full dress or wit. Let me describe
one. It is moro oblong than square,
although it is almost ns broad as it is
long. Across the top is n bhort strap
handle. The inside is lined with a
heavy quality moire, and has tho cus
tomary mirror, purso, and space for
odds and ends that are always lurking
in a woman's pockctbook. But it Is
tho finish that will intrigue you I The
finish on the outside, of course. It is
a leather with a kind of raised design
that looks like tho markings on a pea
cock's tail. And, in truth, the name
peacock Is applied to this finish that
to me. nt least, is new nnd very un
usual. The nockelbooks come In tun.

May 1 never become so brnmidic ns
to say that n certain fresh daintiness
is it n essentlnl part of a woman's
rlmrtn ! Ilnther let mo accept this
without comment, nnd Instead, en
deavor to show how. tills fresh dainti
ness may be kept, even duripg n hard
day's work, when exercise and unusunl
exertion may cause perspiration. As
ou know there nre a number of ex
cellent powders und pastes which are
recommended to keep one fresh and
wholesome during the most strenuous
day. And I have no doubt thnt
they nro good. But here Is something
that appeals to me as being funda
mentally and primarily good u soap
that one uses wlfen one bathes. Some
how the use of n specially prepared
medicinal snap first no matter what
one uses afterward seems like getting
right down, (o tin- bottom of the mat
ter. This soap is twenty-live cents a
rake, mid should prove indispensable to
the woman who values that wholesome
cleunliuess.
There nro n few of them remaining.
I see those little linger rings thnt are
valued at Srt nnd $7, nnd are repriced
nt S?4.ri0. They are. I believe, sterling
silver, of a leaf design, and are set
with nny number of stones matrix,
nnd others, for the most part, opaque.
From the few that aro left you may
still be able tn find one that will look
very heavy and individual on your little
finger. Stop in and see them.

On mnrrlnge a Chinese woman of the

only n comparatively small sum every

In the Uetul district of India there
is a quaint ninrriage custom. The bride

crossings. On their way the bridrgroom
runs nfter the bride, beating her with

bride bents the hildegrooni, saying.

UNTIL HER HOUSE WAS SOLD
Then She Hated to Leave It She Was Too Grown-Up to Pull
the Buyer's Hair, but She Did tho Next Best Thing
ALICE decided to leave tho attractive
little bungalow in tho country, nnd
it was put up for ale.
Several pcoplo camo to see It, but
being clever enough to discover that it
might bo moro com man cozy.in wiuki,
that it was hard enough to got to in
summer and nlmost impossible to reach
through winter drifts, they didn't
take it. ...
Then a friend of hers was forced to
more nnd thoueht suddenly of the
attractive little bungalow in the country.
Alice was delighted nnd the bargain
was made.
Tho new owners came out to see the
house. Alice got an apartment in
town, nnd everything was satisfactory.
AND then Alice had remorse.
"I don't think I'll move after all,"
she decided. "I kind of hato to leave
this littlo place."
"You havo to. now," her real estate
mnn told her. "Tho house has been
sold, everything's done and you'vo
signed your namo to it."
She fussed nnd struggled, but there
was no use; she had let her hotiso go
and she had to give it up.
The new occupants of the houso went
out to make some final arrangements
nbout moving in, a few days' beforo they
took possession, nnd as they arrived
Alice came down the pretty littlo stone
walk with a suitcase In her band.
"I'm off to the seashore for two
weeks." she nnnounccd.
"Rut when nre you going to get your
tilings out? Wc have to move in on
Friday. The new pcoplo aro taking
our apartment that day!"
"Well, that will bo nil right, just fix
it up somehow or other I have to
hurry to catch my train now. I really
can't do anything about it."
And bo they hnd to "fix it up."

T SEE by the papers," said the Chief,

"The one big renson," said ,the Chief, "for Babe's popularity is his one
thousand per cent seriousness. From tho moment he leaves his happy home for
tho 'office' he's terribly in earnest. Every time he walks up to his 'desk' you can
sec by the way ho grips it and sets himself that his heart and his head are in the
right place.
A good many men go to to bat fully satisfied to hit a single or a double, a
bingle or a hunt. But ;iot Babe Ruth. He's out for tho best that can bo done.
No half-way measures for him, no 'getting by,' no 'good enough,' only a clean,
complete, unimprovable job. Ho always swings with all his might. Sometimes
he almost puts himself out of the game, he swings so hard. To get what he wanti
he's willing to be uncomfortable, which most men aren't. On his chest nnd back
there is a tangle of fine white lines like the tracery of a blue print, showing where
the muscles have been stretched to their very limit because day after day he puts
e'crything he has into keeping his work up to his own rigerous requirements.
"Babe Ruth," continued tho Chief,' who was getting warmed up, "Is the
kind of employe that should make even tho most crabbed employer's heart glad.
He never straddles. He never Soldiers.' He is always on the job, He keeps
trying, trying to break his own record, now that he's broke everybody else's. He
conserves his energy. Hn never wastes it making excuses, he saves it all up for
making good. He never haH to be spurred because he's always a willing horse.
"Like every other man who is doing better than the rest," went on the
Chief. "Babe has to stand for n lot of unpleasant accusations and insinuation!.
But he pays no attention to them. He lets the soreheads spout and spill their
brains. They cnu't hurt him because crickets can't compete with thunder. He
knows hat the best way to win what you want is to deserve it. so his only answer
to his knockers is to tako it out on the hall and make the fielders hustle. Some
times he seems bent upon committing suicide In the only honorable way working
himself to death.
"Yes, sir," concluded the Chief, "it's n mighty good-sized commitment for
a 'busher In the ranks of either baseball or busines sto break Into their respective
big leagues. But most of lis like large orders especially when part of them can
be entered for future delivery. And if the average player on tho ball field or
the field of commerce quit blaming things on hard luck, which is simply another
name for sleeping sickness, nnd took n tip from Babe Ruth if he worked with
the same zest nnd zeal and determination to excel that mark Babe's efforts, liH
bank account would begin to bulge, prospects and prosperity would come within
hailing distance, 'his days would be charged with keen enjoyment and his nights
filled with blessed content.' "
