Comparative
Digestibility''
of Food
Made with different Baking Powders
From a Series of Elaborate Chemical Tests:
An equal quantity of bread (biscuit) was made
with each of three different kinds of baking powder—
cream of tartar, phosphate, and alum—and submitted
separately to the action of the digestive fluid, each
for the same length of time.
The relative percentage/of the food digested is
shown as follows:
Bread made with
Royal Cream of Tartar Powder:
| 100 Per Cent Digested 1
Bread made with
phosphate powder: #
| 6814 Per Cent. Digested |
' ' • I
Bread made with
alum powder:
| 67% Per Cent. Digested ]
These tests, which are absolutely reliable and
unprejudiced, make plain a fact of great importance
• to everyone: Food raised with Royal, a cream of
tartar Baking Powder, is shown to be entirely diges
tible, while the alum and phosphate powders are found
to largely retard the digestion of the food made from
them. v ** .
Undigested food is not only wasted food, but it
is the source of very many bodily ailments.

We have had some good letters on
many subjects, ajid some that were es
pecially so on child training and enter
taining the children on cold or rainy
clays, but I do not now remember any
of the writers suggesting a sand pile.
Some are fortunate enough to have
sand right on the place, but many
may have to buy it. or go some dis
tance and haui it. That may seem a
lot of trouble, but just try one load
and see the pleasure it affords the lit
tle children. You often regret your in
ability to buy certain high priced toys
for them, yet the sand pile will afford
them pleasure longer and more varied.
The little housewives will bake and
brew and enact all of the domestic
scenes their bright . eyes have rested
on. The boy will show his bent mak-
'ing houses or roads or forts. The
mother can train them in habits of
order and neatness by seeing that the
sand is not scattered and left so; a
small shovel and whisk broom will an
swer every purpose of neatness and
also help them in their games.
As their fingers grow more skilful
and their minds develops the first les
sons of 'geopraphy may be unconscious
ly taught, mountain hills, and valleys
rivers, lakes and the seas may exercise
their imagination by leaving the spaces
bare. I have in mind three homes where
sand was given the children. One h'as
a load in the back jmrd. That is fine
for the sunny days, bat it does not
solve the problem of entertainment
when the children are behind the bars.
In another home it is on a piazza fac
ing the south and the climate does not
often keep them in on account of cold
weather. Such housekeeping that goes
on there, two little girls with cheap
toy stores enjoy hours that are helping
them learn the things every woman
should know.
“Tell me, little ladies, playing in the
sun,
How many minutes till the cookings*
done?”
chants the older one and her little sis
ter who adores her tries her best to
sing, too.
The dainty handling necessary Tor
the mud cakes enables the little lady
to wipe the cups and silver and set
the tabl© for her mother. Thus form
ing ties between mother and daughter
nothing can sever. The little duties
so early assumed are habits before
there is any occasion for the mother
to have to compel her children to help
her.
The third home is fortunate enough
to have a play-room.for the children—
nine are there, or have enjoyed it—
and a table about four feet square
was sawed so as to be low enough Tor
the little chairs and a bench; the table
edges had a border of two-inch window
molding to keep the sand from falling
Dff. Occosionally the sand was dampen
ed and that privilege was accorded a3
a. token of good behavior. Those chil
dren were near a kindergarten and
many an idea gained there by the one
attending was worked out at home and
much originality shown. That sand
pile had all sorts of fascination for the
children . although no cooking was
played amongst them. They seemed to
develop the domestic streak later and
one qf them really makes fine salad,
sandwiches and stuffed dates “to the
queen’s taste,” as her older sister tells
her. Try just a peck of clean sand
from the builder's and see what a joy
It will afford the children.
As yoii go abo'ut your work, or play,
do you ever think of the way so many
people see only the sad or the disagree
able things of life? I remember a little
song of Ella Wheeler Wilcox, about .a
little girl who must be glad ’twas
dolly’s, and not her head that broke. It
requires a lot of philosophy and some
stoicism to always find good in every
thing that comes. I know, for I am
sorely put about sometimes to see the
good in some things that have come to
me. When there really seems noth
ing to be seen I say, “Well, I shall see
the good some day,” and thus far my
prediction has been verified.
Don’t misunderstand me. *1 do not
mean that we must sit with folded
hands and let circumstances whack us
about. On the contrary, I believe that
we must tfeep an eye on circumstances
and be brave enough to meet them.
Then if “worsted” in a fair fight, lay
this unction to your wounds, “I did my
best and some good will surely come
out of it. As a general thing success
is a fickle goddess and comes to the door
that opens to her most invitingly. Hard
work, self-denial, patience and a dogged
determination not to give up smooth
the way, and sometimes, when one is
not looking, perhaps, the fickle goddess
appears and determines to stay.
“How did you accomplish that?” is
often asked the successful man or wom
an. And nine times out of ten the
answer is: ‘I don’t know, the thing just
happened, I suspect.” Or some will say,
“the good Lord helped me.” Both for
get the days of labor or nights of
thought, the hours of self-denial and
the struggle against the inclination to
give up. God is good. He helps all
of us more than we deserve.and gets very
little thanks for His goodness, but it
takes our work as well as His goodness
to really accomplish anything.
Success seldom comes to the man or
woman who looks on work simply as a
duty, or a burden. One must love
one’s work. It may be a work that the
exigencies of life have thrust on one,
not one in ten of the workers of the
world is doing the thing that really
pleases him, but as long as it is to be
done, let d;he whole heart be put in it.
Love is the oil that makes the wheels
of duty run without creaking.
Did you ever read of a piece of real
heroism that came from duty alone?
Grace Darling risked her life for the
shipwrecked, but love was hand in
hand with duty or she would never
have gone. Florence Nightgale, Francos
Willard and numbers of others had a
Jove of humanity far outweighing duty
or success would never havo found
them.. There are plenty of people who
seem to think the world has treated
LOTS OF BEAUTIFUL, SOFT, GLOSSY HAIR--
Hair coming out?—If dry, brittle, thin or your scalp itches
and is full of dandruff-Use “Danderine.”
Within ten minutes after an applica
tion of Danderine you cannot find a
single trace of Dandruff or a loose or
falling hair and your scalp will not itch,
but what will please you most will be
after a few weeks’ use, when you will
actually see neyy hair, fine and downy
it first—yes—but really new hair—
growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine will immediately
double the beauty of your hair. No dif
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it through
/our hair, taking one small strand at a
time. The effect is amazing—your hair
will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have
ar; appearance of abundance; an incom
parable lustre, softness and luxuriance,
the beauty and shimmer of true hair

Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton’s
Danderine from any drug store or toilet
counter, and prove to yourself tonight
—now—that your hair is as pretty and
soft as any—that it has been neglected
or injured by careless treatment—that’s
all—you surely can have beautiful hair
and lots of it if you will just try a Tit

WOMEN THE WORLD OVER
FEEDING THE SCHOOL CHILDREN.
BY VIDA SUTTON
A new field of work for women has
been created by the recent act of par
liament known as the children’s act.
This act was the result of agitation
which showed that thousands of school
children were so inefficiently fed that
their school time was of no value and
the money spent in their education
worse than wasted. The new law pro
vides that all children shall have med
ical examination, that all needy children
shall be fed, and that they shall be as
sisted to find work upon leaving school
at the age of fourteen.
In carrying out the law local authori
ties have used various methods in dif
ferent parts of England. In London
women organizers with several assist
ants have been appointed to manage
the work in the various* boroughs. A
corps of volunteer visitors is called into
service as well, about ten being nec
essary for each school to do the inves
tigating and report cases.
Shoreditch, one of the poorest of the
boroughs, is doing this work very suc
cessfully under the management of a
woman who has had large executive
experience in educational affairs. She
visits twenty-seven schools, and about
200 children are fed daily.
“When I grow rich
Say the Bells of Shoreditch,”
runs the nursery rhyme., That time has
come and gone in Shoreditch, and the
old bells ring to very different airs
than its aristocratic ancestry might
have expected. The hundred thousand
population today are cabinet makers
and box makers, and their families
crowd the houses that seventy-five
years ago were fashionable suburban
flats. Wages are very low. The women
work in the factories as well as the
men. Their children, unkempt and
dirty, fill the schools.
You may see them.fn the dining cen
tres scattered through the borough,
ragged, tousled mites, swallowing their
soup or munching their biscuits.
A large catering place, one of Lip-
ton’s, furnishes the meals on contract
with the council, according to menus
scientifically prepared by food spe
cialists.
The children produce their tickets
and get their dinner at the noon inter
mission. But, alas, on holidays and
Saturdays and Sundays they cannot
get them- School feeding is only for
school d^ys.
Only those whose, cases have % been
investigated upon report of the teacher
or voluntary visitor are given tickets
those whose parents have applied. The
latter cases are most particularly in
vestigated. The parent must state in
come, rent, etc., and show reason why
the child cannot be fed at home. There
are few of such cases. The difficulty
is the other way. Parents do not like
to have it known their children are
“feeders,” though sometimes women
who are at work in factories ask to
have their children given dinners and
want to pay the twopence cost. The
general plan, however, is to discourage
all but the most needy.
The subject has furnished much con
troversy. There are about 9,000 chil
dren, according to the last feport, fed
on school days, either dinners or break
fasts also, The cost is between $300
and $400 a day, an item in the budget
which many rate-payers resent, There
are others who believe children should
be fed at school—scientifically—as nu
trition is the first essential in cultiva
tion of any kind. These are an opti
mistic minority.
“The whole matter,” said one of the
committee, “is criticised in precisely the
same way as education at public ex
pense was in the beginning. We now
look upon that as a matter of course.
So may we in time consider the matter
of feeding. It is something that the
work is begun, and the majority of
people agree that it is economy in the
long run to ! have the child in a condi
tion to profit by school training. The
work offers an interesting field to
many women as paid or voluntary
workers in what is considered by many
a social experiment.”
HINTS FOR HOUSEWIVES
NEW WAYS TO COOX THE WINTER VEGETABLES.
BEETS.
Cream of beet soup. Melt one-fourth
of a cupful of butter and add one-
fourth of a cupful of flour. When
thoroughly blended add two cupfuls of
cold milk and cook until thick. Cook
some beets in salted water until tender,
peel and mash very fine. Take two
cupfuls and add to the thickened milk,
season with salt and pepper, and it
too thick dilute with boiling milk to
the proper consistency. Take some
very thin slices of boiled beet, and cut
into fancy shapes with a vegetable
cutter, put two or three into each plate
of soup before it is served.
Beets a la St. Lawrence. Boil the
beets and cut into chunks. Fry a
chopped onion in butter, dredge with
flour, add two cupfuls of stock,, and
cook until thick, stirring constantly.
Add the beets, salt and pepper to sea
son, and cook for ten minutes. Add
two tablespoonfuls of butter and one
tablespoonful of vinegar. Bring to a
boil and serve at once.
Beets a la Chartreuse. Boil the beets
and slice. Cut a very thin slice of
onion for every two slices of beet, and
sandwich between.: the beets, pressing
together gently. Season with salt,
pepper, and vinegar, dip in a batter
made of two eggs, a cup of milk and
cracker crumbs, enough to make of the
right consistency. Fry slowly in deep
fat.
Fried beets. Boil the beets, peel and
slice, fry in butter, seasoning with
pepper and sugar. Serve very hot.
them badly because they are not “ap
preciated.” That must not be a factor
in the sum total if one expects it .to
come to anything at all. There is a
lot of envy and jealousy and all un
charitableness yet, and all sorts of
darts are going to be thrown, but do
not let them poison your mind. One
cannot help being hurt when some
hitherto considered friend hurls one
into one’s back. But be glad you were
wounded instead of benig the one to
wound.
And for sweet charity’s sake don’t
hit any one through the misapplied
words of another. If there is any o?-.e
whose conduct does not suit you, and
it is really your business to set it
right, don’t quote the words of a per
fectly innocent person and pretend you
think it such a joke the sister, coustn
or aunt must be told. That is cow
ardly. Fight in the open if you must
fight, and not stir up any more strife
than you are brave enough to meet.
Jealousy is a fearful thing and so is
cowardice.
But this is enough for this time

Beets with cream. Boil the beets,
peel, and slice and reheat with enough
stock to moisten. Beat the yol£ of an
egg with a cupful of cream or milk
and pour slowly into the saucepan.
Serve as soon as the sauce is thick.
Baked beets. Wash without peeling
and bake slowly, until done. Remove
the skin, cut into slices, and season
with melted butter, salt and pepper.
Serve very hot. A little' vinegar or
sugar may be added to the seasoning if
desired, or the beets may be served
whole with seasoned melted butter.
They are very much sweeter cooked in
this way than when boiled.
Stewed beets. Boil the beets \ln
salted water and slice thin. Cook to
gether a tablespoonful each of butter
and flour, add a cupful of water and
a tablespoonful of vinegar, and cook
until thick stirring constantly. Season
with salt and pepper, heat the beets
in the sauce, and serve with small
onions parboiled, and fried brown in
butter and sugar.
Beets with sour sauce. Boil the beets
and cut into small chunks, or if they
are t Small merely quarter them. Blend
a heaping teaspoonful of cornstarch
with a little cold water, mix with a
small cupful of vinegar, bring to a boil,
and cook until thick, stirring constant

OUT OF THE SHIRTWAIST SQUAD
Dear Miss Thomas: I was amazed to learn
tnrough The Journal how many women are
working in Atlanta. I knew there were a
great many, but for the number to S'* even
to five thousand would have surprised ui«\ And
when I learned that the acerage wag* was
less than $5 a week “Jarred” mo again. Yet
the procession never stops. Right now there
aie girls who might go to school at least two
years longer and then not be grounded in .the
"three It’s,” who are planning to go to busi
ness colleges and be a stenographer. What
are their parents thinking of? One man said
that they Jhad made the mistake of not being
firm with ’the little girl and no,v the big girl
had the uppperhand and would not listen to
him, or to her mother.
(iirls, some girls seem to thiuk tnat they
can go to a college and learn the stenograph* '
course and start right in with some fine salary
They know nothing of language* spelling or
punctuation. Some of them get boys on til i
brain and when they try to get a place to
work they are a regular laughing stock. I
heard a man say that one went to him and he
gave her some dictation. lie said he knew
she couldn’t read what she put down, but that
he really needed a girl to answer th* phono,
stay there when he was out an’ mukv* herself
generally useful. He left tno room and tMd
her he would be back in an hour and to please
tell any one who called. When be did return
the door was open, the desk, too, and the bird
had flown. Nor has he seen her from tuat
time. Sho was not to be depended on.
There are a set of men in this world who
say, with a great deal of complacency, that
the world owes them a living and they are
not going to work. Tne same spirit is af
fecting some of the girls and they seem try
ing to do only enough to keep the pay envelop*
from stopping. 'I hat sort doesn’t make any
letter homes or wives than they make work
trs. 1 can’t say wnat is to become of them.
I am- afraid the vast mass that compose tne
submerged ones is one result of their thinking
they must have a good time an! the ether
fellow pay the bill.
As Miss Thomas once said, there are heroines
behind the counters, at the desk and plying
the needle, but they are sending their surplus
home, if they are fortunate enough to have
one, and their Sunday clothes are not :i bit
better than those worn to work, and they are
not made like tne latest freak of fashion.
Many a girl has to work, hut she may be
sure that if she is to succeed she must buckle
down to hard work and when she gets away
from It take care to keep as euny hours as
she can so as to be. ready for the next day.
This Is no tnery. I have been among the
“shirt waist squad” and know what it means
to ride one way and walk at night to save
enough to pay for my washing. When I stepped
out of the ranks I was making a ««x)d salary,
t uc I wanted a borne and the things tli; aver
age normal woman craves, and I nave never
felt the slightest desire to go back. T rise
early and work hard, but my home and loved
o-.es are worth it.
Mrs. Alexander has shown us another whose
homo life is to be envied. Are tber.j not
others? Sincerely,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—Sore arms
are not only the fashion in the bureau
of chemistry of the agricultural fie-

discovery of a case of smallpox in a
negro’ laborer who had been suffering
from the disease in a mild form for
three weeks.
In addition to wholesale vaccination
Dr. Carl Alsberg, chief of the bureau,
ordered that the bureau be thoroughly
fumigated, together with the clothes
and personal belongings of every one
connected with that branch of the de
partment. Two physicians with a large
quantity of vaccine then promptly be
gan operations on the large force of

Several anti-vaccinationists who de

F FIGS IS :
BEST FOB IS CHILD
A fetv years after # Lot pitched his
tent toward Sodom and became one of
its residents, a tribal war occurred that
caused his first disaster. He lost every
thing he had gained up to that time.
The ki~g of Shipar (or Babylon) asso
ciated "with three other kings of the
east made war with the king of Sodom
apd four other allied kings of that
section. The four kings were victori
ous over the five, and as a part of the
spoils of war. Lot and his possessions
were carried away. 1
One who had escaped to the moun
tains told Abram of it. In spite of the
way Lot had treated him, Abram still
had a love for his nephew, and he was
grieved to hear of his misfortune. Call
ing out the 318 toained soldiers who
had been born in his house, he started
with a determination to rescue his
nephew at the risk of his own life. He
pursued them far north to the left of
Damascus, and there, by the strategic
military maneuver, smote the larger
forces and rescued Lot and his goods.
Returning, the king of Sodom came
out of his hiding place to thank him
for the rescue, for Abram had brought
back all the spoils the four kings had
taken. Melchizedec, the king of Salem,
who was also the priest of God, came
out to meet him and blessed him for
his magnificent victory. To show that
he recognized that it was God, not he,
who had won, Abram gave Melchizedec,
God’s representative, tithes of the spoil.
This was the God-given way of express
ing God’s ownership of it all, that it
was all His because He had been the
viqtor.
Then the king of Sodom made Abram
a proposition—give him the people
whom he had rescued (he thought
Abram had no desire or need for these)
and keep the goods for himself. The
king of Sodom was wise at least in
putting more value on men than, on
money. Abram, however, refused to
keep a single garment or gold. *He had
grown wealthy; he had servants galore,
and gold and silver, and cattle; he had
lands. He would not compromise him
self in any way which might at any time
in the future make it possible to de
tract from God’s goodness to him. He
would not give the king of Sodom the
chance of saying that he had made
Abram rich, that the great possessions
Abram had were composed of his
good^ Abram therefore refused any
thing^ for himself, but accepted for the
young men and his companions their
portions, which they deserved legiti
mately.
ABRAM’S REWARD.
It was after this refusal to accept
any of the spoil as a reward that God
appeared to Abram in a vision, and
gave him something better than any
thing Abram could have gotten from
Sodom’s spoils. He said: “I am thy re
ward.” To have God is better than any
thing even . God can give, and far bet
ter than anything man can give. God
was Abram’s reward for such dealing
with Sodom’s king.
But Abram had a great burden on
his heart. He had almost everything
a man might desire. God had given him
a warranty deed to all the land he
could see from the top of that mount.
He was very rich in cattle and in silver
and gold. He had many servants, 318
men b'orn In his household and trained
for service. But he was . eighty-five
years old, and did not have an heir to
whom he could leave all of this wealth.
His prospects were nil from a human
standpoint. His wife £>arai was sev
enty-six years old. So when God spoke
to him, he just could not help unbur
dening his heart to Him. “What are
you, going to give me? I have no child,
and my only heir is an alien.” All
that I have, he was saying, will be for
nought; my name will perish with me.
Listen to God. “This shall not be
thine heir; but he that shall come forth
out of thine own bowels shall thine
heir:” Was Abram startled? A man
eighty-five years old and his wife sev
enty-six to hav6 a child! If he was
startled, he had another shock; for God
took him out under the starry sky, and
defied him to count the number of
stars, and said: “So shall thy seed
be.”
Don’t hurry here. Put yourself in
Abram’s sandals, and imagine what you
would* have done. Then read: “And he
believed.” Notice the next words, “in
the Lord.” That explains it. Abram
would not, could not, have believed in
any one else under the circumstances.
But he accepted God’s statement, trust
ing God to fulfill His promise in His
own way, for it could not be other
wise.
ABRAM’S DOUBT.
As a pledge of His promise, God re
minded Abram that it was He who had
brought-Viim out of Ur of the Chaldees,
and given him this lahd to inherit it.
This, however, made Abram doubt. True,
God had protected him and provided for
them through all that long and
perilious journey, but the land was still
in possession of its original inhabitants.
“How shall I know that I shajl inherit
it?” he asked.
Don’t be too hard on Abram. Have
a little sympathy for him, for he was
very human. You would have done the
same thing, if not worse. He had been'
ten years in the land, and there was not
any sign of the inhabitants turning over
their land to him; and they were far
too strong and too warlike for him,
with his small, though well-trained
force to take it from them by fighting.
You would have asked how, too, or
mocked God for what semed so hope
less.
I am rather glad for our sakes that
Abram doubted—it shows him to be so
like ourselves in doubts that it gives
us courage to hope that we may be like
him in believing the humanly impossi
ble. But 1 am sorry, too, for his doubt
was the cause of the horrible suffering
of his descendants for 400 years in
Egypt. Be careful how you doubt;
your children and children’s children
may suffer for it.
Doubt is like any other sin—it
must be forgiven; and without shed
ding of blood there is no remission of
sin. So Abram, at God’s direction, took
a heifer, a goat, a ram, a turtledove and
a pigeon, and shedding their blood to
atone for his sin, spread them out be
fore God. The animals he divided in
half and put them one over against the
other, and the turtledove over against
the pigeon. God was going to seal the
covenant with him. According to
Oriental custom, the two contracting
parties would walk between the pieces,
as today we affix our signatures and
seals.
God was not ready to enter into the
covenant yet, because Abram was not
ready. God is ready as soon as you
are; he waits to be gracious. Possibly
Abram’s doubt was not all gone; pos
sibly he needed time to realize the pos
sibilities of God. At any rate he had
to wait. All day long he watched those
carcasses. When birds of prey came to
devour them, he drove them away; and
he kept up his weary watch* until the
shadows lengthened # and the' sun was
lest behind the western hills. That
weary waiting was working in his
heart, however. He had plenty of time
for reflection that day. He may have
been tempted to go* off and quit, and let
the birds have tKe carcasses; but
thank God, he had grit enough to stick.
About dark he fell asleep, and God re
vealed to him His plan—the affliction
of his children for his doubt, the judg
ment on their oppressors, and finally
their deliverance, and possession of *the
land from the river of Egypt to the
Euphrates, when the iniquity of the
present inhabitants should have become
full, and sufficient for God to remove
them foi; their continued disobedience.
ABRAM’S FAITH.
Abram waked up a wiser and a better
man. He saw a burning lamp pass be
tween the pieces, and a smoking fur
nace consume them. He knew then God
had accepted his offering, forgiven his
sin, and restored him to fellpwship. So
far as we know Abram never doubted
again, even under the most trying cir-

My brother, God is offering you the

one who receives Jesus, His only begot

your behalf all the privileges of an
heir, and places at your disposal the

ft We be a Little More Economical, Dear?!
The'man with his nose to the grindstone trying to “make both
ends meet” is asking that question of his helpmate more and
more as the price of living soars. (
Cottolene
■will help you immensely by cutting down your butter bills. Use butter on your table,
but not in your kitchen. .With butter at present prices, you simply could not afford to
use it in cooking, even if it would produce better results. But when
Cottolene will shorten and fry as good as or even better than butter—and
the price is about one-third—why not try it, and practice economy
without feeling that you are “skimping” yourself or your table?
Remember also that two-thirds of a pound of Cottolene will go as far as a full
pound of either butter or lard. Cottolene is Nature’s Shortening—a vegetable
product—healthful, digestible, and iu every way satisfactory. Try this recipe:
PLAIN LAYER CAKE
Cream *4 cup Cottolene with 1 cup sugar,mix in alternately
*4 cup milk and 2 cups pastry flour, in which 2 teaspoons
baking powder and teaspoon salt have been thoroughly
sifted, Beat well, flavor, and add three stiffly beaten
eggs. Bake in two layers.
This batter is a good foundation recipe and may be used
with spices, chocolate, fruit or nuts, with any desired filling.
