THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1913.. 5 ,:|l > i 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. CbNtXJC.TE.0 & MISS LIZZIE O. THOMAS 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 health. 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 tle Danderine.— (Advt.) 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 from the one who is, as ever Faithfully yours, LIZZIE O. THOMAS. 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 ly. Add a tablespoonful each of butter and sugar to the sauce, season with salt and pepper, pour over the beets, and serve very .hot in a covered dish. Less vinegar may be used, adding water as needed, and the sugar omitted. CHEMISTRY BUREAU HAS BEEN VACCINATED I 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 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.

(By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—Sore arms are not only the fashion in the bureau of chemistry of the agricultural fie- partment, but they are a protection of fered to the officials and employes against being forcibly seized and vac cinated. The excitement followed the 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 employes. Several anti-vaccinationists who de murred were compelled to take their sixteen day leaves of absence whether they wanted to do so or not. For March 2. Gen., 15:1—21. Golden Text: “He is faithful that promised.” Heb., 10:23. 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- CASTOR IA Fox Infants and Children. The Kind!
