I THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 1913. 'Royxir Baking Powdery ^AbsolutelyPure. Where the finest biscuit, cake, hot-breads, crusts or puddings are required Royal is indispensable. Royal is equally valuable in the preparation of plain, substantial, every-day foods, for all occasions. ► The only baking powder made from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar No Alum —No Lime Phosphates There have been very restless times over almost all of the world. The United States has been in the throes of the election that every four years interrupts business and disrupts plans. I suppose there is no better way for a republic to be managed, but it does seem a pity that things could not be smoother. After sixteen years of pow er I suspect it was hard for one party to see another take up the government and put one of their .choice in the White House. Let us not forget to pray that our new president may make few mistakes, and rule wisely. I had two friends to lunch with me last week and it so happened that one was a classmate of the secretary of agricul ture, and the other was often in the home of the Axons at Rome. So much has been said about Mrs. Wilson’s tal ent .far, painting, and Kate said she then had some beautiful pictures. But it was not to discuss our president’s family that I started this chat, but to note the universal unrest Lnd to say that we are to be thankful tnat ours is no worse. England has her suffragettes, her discontent among the laboring classes and the eternal vigilance that must be exercised to keep her political fences in perfect repair. Germany, too, has dissensions at home, and jealousies even among the kaiser’s children. He is such a spec tacular monarch and has the ambition of Napoleon, but cannot quite adopt Napoleon’s methods. His daughter’s marriage removes a thorn that has al ways been in his side—the rivalry of the house that her marriage will set tle. She had been booked, so many thought, and some openly said, for Eng land’s heir to the throne, but this was too good an opportunity to unite rival houses nearer home. Spain, I suspect, rues the day that Isabella gave her gems to raise the money for Columbus to get his boats and men. And when we consider the make and disabilities of those boats one hardly comprehends any one’s starting on an untried voyage in them. Not only has her last American posses sion slipped through her fingers, but th e defeat here and in the Philippines has done much to weaken the ruling house in Spain. The king has done his best, but there have been too many antiquated ideas in vogue and too great a distance, or distinction, among the classes and* masses. The leaven of un rest has permeated the kindom and shutting their eyes to the fact is no way to counteract the influence. Italy had troubles enough of her own with out having to go to war, yet the re sult was entirely satisfactory to her if not to some others. “Uneasy i sthe head that wears a crown” was written in the days when might made right, but it continues until this good day and nobody more literally carries his life in his hand than does the czar of all the Russias. It is hard to say which, as a nation, is more arro gant, and disdainful, Russia or Spain. I believe the Spaniards keep theirs less in evidence. I have seen Russians of the so-called higher classes lift a man of the lower class off the sidewalk and into the mud with the toe of his boot about like a headless one here might treat a dog on the sidewalk when he wanted to pass. India is seetihing with unrest and I might call attention, and name almost every nation and show you something unpleasant in their paths that should be strewn with roses, but the nearness of Turkey’s defeat, the approaching probilem of that dismemberment calls for a few remarks concerning the allies. The four kings in the war against Tur key are a strange quartet to be working together, and are likely to hold out for what they believe to be right. There was no boyish indignation prompting their determination to go to war. 'Nich olas, of Montenegro, is seventy-one years old. He has reigned fifty-two years and has done well for his country. His has always been a poetic tempera ment, but he fights with the zeal of,a crusader. George of Greece is almost sixty- seven. He is a native of Denmark and was put on the throne by the allied powers. He has ruled Greece many years and is greatly beloved by his people. He too is a scholar, courteous, quiet, and more a diplomat than a war rior. Ferdinand, of Bulgaria, is the young est of the four. He is fifty-one and has reigned twenty-five years. While he is a scholar he is also a trained sol dier. Peter, of Servia, has only been a ruler for nine years. Most of you remember the murder of King Alexander and Queen Draga in 1903. He is sixty-eight ycUrs old and has had to show con siderable diplomacy and executive abil ity to ease the factions that were brought prominently into the limelight when that awful, that incredibly vicious murder was committed. Turkey has always been one of the problems of Europe and of Asia. That country has been in a turmoil and has caused more bloodshed, innocent victims usually, than, almost all the rest of the world. If we include, this war now going on I am sure it takes the lead in its rivers of blood and mounds or mutilated girls and women. Why has it not been effaced? eVar after year the quetsion has been asked and the only answer is that no one country wanted j the responsibility when it would throw so many nations at the mercy of each other. It has taken these four insignificants, comparatively speaking, and hundreds of thousands of lives to show the al lied powers what they could have done years ago. The Mohammedans have hated the world. They never say their prayers without putting in one about the subjugation of the world for their prophet. To them there is no cruelty in maiming or killing one who does not believe as they do. The sword of the prophet has been their slogan and it will be a terrible blow to them to lose such a stronghold as Adrianople and the other places that the Balkan allies will claim. When the Young Turks overthrew the government and assumed control there was hope that the spots of the leopard might diminish or at least his ferocity be quenched, but the world was disappointed. Promises were made, that land is an adept at playing fast and loose with the truth, but those promises amounted to the same thing as those of the envoys who went to Lon don to treat with the peace envoys of the Balkan states. Greece knew them better than the others, and kept right on fighting. Had she, too, laid down her arms the munitions of war would have been renewed in every weakened spot and by the time the porte had re inforced his army he would have called home his envoys in London and have been ready to carry on the struggle. To my mind it seems that Greece is re sponsible, or will be, for the final vic tory. But *this Chat is growing too long for such a theme. There is Mexi co with rebellion and treacherous Castro trying again for Venezuela and a score of smaller fry ready to swallow or be swallowed in the upheaval. There are plenty of people who will tell you that all this means that the end of the world is at hand. Don’t be lieve a word of it. Nobody knows one iota more about the date of the world’s end than you or I, and the Bible is our authority for t*he statement that nobody knows nor was it intended for us to know. Get a good history of the people about the year 1000 and you will see that even then dates were being fixed for the event. Yet here we are and the world is about as solid as it then was. There is but one golden mean, one lever to lift us higher in the true sense of the word. W.e must love our fellow men and be willing to share with them. “And thq Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another, and toward all men.” This must come to pass before the millenium. Faithfully yours, * LIZZIE O. THOMAS. AFTER A LONG SILENCE Dear Miss Thomas: It has been a long time since I have appeared among you, but I hope you can give me a tiny place again. When I last wrote to you I was just out of an in firmary, and in mortal fear of having to go hack, but as time passes I can see that I gain in strength, and therefore in hope of ultimately becoming much more comfortable, if not well. What is interesting the Household most these days? Are any of you suffragettes? That seems to be interesting a great many of the women of the day. Of course Montgomery has its Equal Suffrage club, hut I’ve never found strength to go to a meeting to see what they are trying to accomplish. I went into a public office not long since and saw a grayhaired lady in earnest conversation with a man and girl of the office, and could not help but overhear that they were discussing woman’s suf frage. The elderly lady was on my side of the window, and when the gentleman said, “You will have to pay poll tax,” she said, *'Yes, and we’ll do it much more promptly than you men do.” After she passed on I asked If I’d got Into a suffragette meeting, and learned that the girl at the office bad received an Invitation to attend a meeting. I asked her if she meant to join and she replied that she would have to have her switch first. Whereupon, the man exclaimed, “Switch! You’ll need a big stick.” It is rather amusing to see how much in earnest these suffragettes are. I shall be glad if they accomplish anything more im- pcrtant than the old-fashioned women did, but I can’t see how anytuing could be more'im portant than bringing up their sons and daugh ters to be honorable members of society. I am surprised that so little has been said on the subject when Georgia tent such a prom inent delegation to Washington. But enough of this—I want all of my old friends to knovvj that I am waiting to hear from them again. During my stay at the infirmary I am afraid some of my mail was lost, or re turned to the writers. Cordially, MISS IH5KCY WILKINSON. 422 Mildred St., Montgomery, Ala. For March 16—Gen. 22:1-15. Golden Test: “I desired mercy, and not sacrifice, and the knowledg-e of God more than burnt offering's.”—Hosea 6:6. When Abraham was 100 years old, God gave to him a son who was the promised heir. He made it very plain to him in the succeeding years that al though Ishmael was the first born, yet it was not he that was to be the heir, but that through, Isaac the promise would be realized that in him and in his seed would all the families of the earth be blessed. I am sure that as the boy developed Abraham learned to love him very de votedly. As he was very rich, he was able to surround him with all the com forts that wealth can give, and to give him all the advantages that a lavish love could suggest .for his highest de velopment. I’ve no doubt that he had him constantly with him, giving him the benefit which association with his father will mean to a boy. As Isaac grew to young manhood, and Abraham began to realize how much he loved him, a very disturbing thought entered his mind. All about him he saw the fires of the Cananites as they worship ped their gods by offering to them their children in sacrifices. Here and there he hearta of one whose devotion reached the point where he was willing to offer his first born son as a sacrifice to his god. I think that Abraham began to wonder if he really loved Jehovah, his God, in the same way his neigbors did, and to question himself as to whether would be willing to show his devotion to his God in the same way that his neigrbors were show ing their devotion to their gods. I think frequently as he as debating this subject in his mind, there must have ccme to him the thought that God did not require this of him since it was through Isaac he had said the promise would come. I don’t know how long those thoughts troubled him, but finally one night God spoke to him giving definite shape to the musings of his mind, a$d said, “Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the moun tains which I will tell thee of.” The magnificent thing about this incident is that Abraham obeyed immediately. Early the next morning he made prepa rations, and started on the three days’ journey. Those three days were day# of terri ble agony for Abraham. It would have been much easier to bear if it had been all at once, but to have it stretched out made the hours seem days. Finally, they reached the base of the mountain. It was Mt. Moriah which David pur chased l.DOO years later from Arounah, who used it as a threshing floor. On this hill the temple was built and near that spot in after years the Son of God was offered up a sacrifice for us. It was a place too sacred for other eyes, so Abraham left the young men who had accompanied them to look after the asses, and laying the wood for the offering on the- shoulders of his son Isaac, they went up together to the brow of the hill. Can you imagine Isaac’s feelings? If Abraham had not told him of his inten tions, he at least was so familiar with the practice of human sacrifice that he could suspect what his father had in mind. That he went at all, and more that he went willingly reveals a faith almost as remarkable in the son as that of his father. In some ways it was more remarkable, for Abraham had the experience of years to develop his, while Isaac’s youth was bua a- guaran tee of his inexperience. Finally, Isaac spoke and said, ‘‘Behold the fire and the wood; but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” With magnificent faith, I do not think with even a tremble in his voice, Abraham replied, “My son, God will provide himself, a lamb.” Then with perfect submission to his father’s will, as his father was manifesting per fect submission to his Father’s will, they proceeded to ascend to the sum mit. When they reached the place of which God had told him, Abrahanf built the altar, laid the wood in order, bound Isaac, his son, and laid him upon , the altar of wood. He stretched forth his hand, took the knife, a,nd raised it—but the blow never fell. God arrested him there, calling, “Abraham, Abraham,” and pointing to a lamb which had been caught in the thicket, ordered him to offer this in the stead of his son. His purpose was accomplished, He knew now that Abraham feared him, and. was will ing to offer his best to Him without re serve. t Abraham had stood the test. During the last twenty-five years, God had been proving him in various ways. He had put upon him one strain after another, and on the whole Abraham had measur ed up to each of thejn, now He had placed him upon the severest test of all, and Abraham had shown himself equal to it. God was assured now, and of course we speak in terms of human thought, that Abraham was the kind of man out of whom He could build a na tion. In what did this test consist? Did God ever expect Abraham to murder his son? Did Abraham expect that God would re quire him to take the life of his son whom he loved better than his life? Or was God testing him to prove whether or no’ he was willing to go to the utmost in order to obey God, and conform im plicitly to His will? I have no question in my own mind but what Abraham fully expected to have to take the life of his son. At least he was willing to do that if necessary. The writer to the Hebrews tells us that he had faith enough to be lieve if it did become necessary, that God who had given him, could give him back to him again if it became necessary. What God wanted was a servant who would yield completely to His will. He did not want a human sacrifice; in fact He forever get the seal of His disapprov al upon this; and it is a fact that never again in the history of the Jewish nation were human sacrifices offered, unless, perhaps, when they had forgotten God, and were worshipping idols. God wants today just such implicit obe dience and trust from you, as He expect ed from Abraham. He is testing you every day. It comes to you in a differ ent form, possibly, than that in which it comes to me, certainly different from the form in which it came to Abraham; and yet, the supreme test that He re quires of us, is whether we are willing to yield our very best to Him. My brethren, .dojj’t be afraid of God, or of God's will. Have the faith of Abra ham, and if He asks for your very best, if He asks for that which you hold dear est, offer it to Him. It will be*no sacri fice, for whatever He takes from you He "W VIJ’OMAN’S delicate system requires I mJ!UUli u more than ordinary care and at- 1?O’Ciflfc’yiffr tention — more care and attention than Jjvllrl it is'given by the average woman.

My sisters make hun dreds of pounds * every year &nd take orders in advance of the holidays. Here is the receipe: Put four cups of white granulated sugar and one cup water into a bright tin pan on the range. Boil without stirring for ten minutes. Jf it looks somewhat thick, test it by letting some drop from spoon; if it threads, remove from stove. Take out a small spoonful and rub it against the sides of a bowl. If becomes creamy, pour the whole into the bowl. When cool enough to bear your fin ger take the bowl in your lap.and beat the syrup with a large spoon. It will soon begin to look like cream and will grow stiffer until it is necessary to knead it in your hands like dough. If it has not boiled enough t<? cream put it back on the range and let it remain two or three minutes, or as long as necessary. If it should be grainy it has cooked too much, or has been stirred. If so, put it back in the pan, add a little hot water, boil and test as before. If properly made it will be smooth and can be worked on the table (a piece of marble is best) like dough, and it will give you so much more in return that you will be the gainer in the end.

If the cream gets too cold to work, warm it. Take small portions of the cream and flavor and color as desired, then make into desirable shapes. Red or pink colosing: Two cents* worth cochineal; lay on plate, bruise with knife blade, put into half teacup alcohol, let stand 16 minutes and filter through muslin. Always ready for im* mediate use. Cork bottle tight. Beet juice may be used if desired but the re sults are not so good. Yellow coloring: Take a little saffron, put into earthen vessel with a small quantity of cold soft water, let steep until infusion is a bright yellow; strain, add half cup alcohol and bottle tightly. Fruit and vegetable coloring matter may be bought, ready prepared in the market. There are so many ways to make up these candies.

Ever since I have been housekeeping we have had a garden just in any old place,” down in the filed, away orf from the house, so the chickens couldn’t find it, as it was not fenced in. This year we have a fine new garden, wired in, joining toe yard, so we are going to put in a lot of tune gardening and maybe overdo the thing. Busy Bee, I’ll race witl\ you, so I will teli you what we have planted. Today is the 27th of February. The first in our garden are five rows of strawberry plants. They are In bloom and have some berries on them. Next come two rows of English peas, two rows of cabbage, two of onions, one of radishes, let tuce and beets; then two of Irish potatoes. The radishes and onions will soon be large enough to eat. Miss Thomas didn’t tell us if her garden was in Florida or near Atlanta, but it must be the latter place, as she speaks of just setting out the cabbage plants. Say, Busy Bee, I have one advantage over you for I live in south Georgia, wnere we can have vegetables earlier than you can up there, but you may have more time at your disposal than 1, for I have two babies to care for, two little faces to keep clean and two little Coftolene is not for table use, but it is the best cooking fat for all shortening and frying.

J Mrs, Wilson’s Teas Mrs. Wilson the new chatelaine of the white house, is becoming acquainted with official Washington in a very charming fashion. Her 5 o’clock teas, which were instituted at once, promise to become a famous feature of her res idence in the white house. Mrs. Mar shall and the women of the cabinet cir cle were her guests at 5 o’clock Mon day, and Tuesday at the same hour, the women of the supreme court circle made up the little party that had tea with Mrs. Wilson and her daughters. Another pleasant memory was added to the many that cluster about the white house library when Mrs. Wil son entertained there the women who will be most closely associated with her during the coming four years. In the interesting apartment on the sec ond floor of the house, into which, over sixty years ago, one of the most cultivated of Mrs. Wilson’s predeces sors, Mrs. Millard Fillmore,. gathered the first volumes and other necessary furnishings of a library. Mrs. Wilson brought together during the tea hour the women of the new official family. There were a ,few absentees. Mrs. Garrison, wife of the secretary of war, who was in Washington for the hearffi to keep combed, and their clothes to be washed, starched, ironed aud patched when needed. Mrs. Alexander, mine are not twins, but there Is not much difference in their ages. Len is a boy three years old and the baby girl avus one year old Tuesday. She is pulling at my dress now and demanding a share of my at tention, so best wishes to all you home gar deners and mothers. MRS. O. B. JOYFUL.

Mrs. Hous ton, wife of the secretary of ag riculture, who was there for the same occasion, left Washington the night of the inauguration. Mrs. Marshall, wife of the vice-president, and the other women of the cabinet, responded to Mrs. Wilson’s invitation, and, notwithstanding the dull weather, which incidentally shut out the beauti ful view of park and river which the room ordinarily commands, spent a de lightful hour becoming better acquaint ed over the tea cups. There^ was no formal discussion as to any plans for the future, though, naturally, there were some queries among the women on whom the leadership of the official world of the capital has devolved, and to several of whom official life is quite new. There was music again in the room where Fillmore’s daughter had her harp and piano. After tea.

I am in good health and I have two little girls. ”—Mrs. R. B. Child, Beatrice. Neb. The Other Case. Cary, Maine. — “ I feel it a duty I owe to all suffering women to tell what Lydia E. Pinkham’n Vegetable Compound did forme. One year ago I found myself a terrible sufferer. I had pains in both sides and such a soreness I could scarcely straighten up at times. My back ached, I had no appetite and was so nervous I could not sleep, then I would be so tired mornings that I could scarcely get around. It seemed almost impossible to move or do a bit of work and I thought I never would be any better until I submitted to an operation, but my husband thought I had better write to you and I did so, stating my symp toms. I commenced taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and soon felt like a new woman. I had no pains, slept well, had good appetite and could do almost all my own work for a family of four. I shall always feel that I owe my good health to your Vegetable Compound.”—Mrs. Hayward Sowers, Cary, Maine.
