As many I of you know, she was very much inter- jested In Christian Association work for I young women as well as for the men; I but there is another woman in New jYorkrwho has devoted as much or more I of her life to the work for young wom en. Miss Dodge keeps in close touch I with this work all over the United 1 States. Every year the secretaries of I the Young Women’s Christian associa tions get a Christmas card that she I has selected and. addressed herself, and I she chose the design, too. Four years ago she could not attend ■ the ‘Asheville, X. C., summer con'fer- lence on account of her mother’s ill- Iness. She wrote the club girls a let- iter to be read at their council meeting, lit was such a helpful letter that I had (dozens of copies made and gave them ■ to girls who could not be there. The I original letter with -r.er Autograph 1 I keep. Today a little incident made I me think that I could send you no ■ thought that would be more beneficial ■ than some extracts from Miss Dodge’s I letter. I wish I had space for all ot lit. For twenty-four years she had ■ been a club girl and began by saying I how hard it was not to attend that | council.

I tried different ■ treatments, but they did me no good. I A friend advised my mother to give me I Cardui, the woman’s tonic. She gave me lone bottle, and it straightened me out all (right. I did not have any more trouble until I after I was married. I had several bad Ispelld* then, but I began taking Cardui ■again, and my health started to improv ing right away. I can safely recommend Cardui to all I women sufferers, as I think it is the (greatest woman’s medicine on earth. You may publish this letter if you | wish.” Cardui is good for young girls, as well las older women, because it contains pure, I harmless, vegetable ingredients, which ■ act gently, yet surely, on the delicate (womanly organs. It is a tonic prepared (exclusively for women. For more than 50 years, Cardui has (been in widely extended use, by women (of all ages, and has given- entire satis faction, as a remedy for rebuilding wom- |anly health and strength.

The fourfold sides of life are so closely aUed we cannot say which is physiqa, which intellectual, moral or spiritual. Thus when we get up, find our roO mclose because not aired dur ing the night, we are apt to feel heavy and tired. If we allow just time enough we dress without me proper washing, etc. Breakfast seems unin viting and we are apt to rush off after perhaps swallowing a cup of coffee and eating a bite of bread, probably not even sitting down fur it. Further, we do not take time for the necessary in ner cleansing of our system, and by 10 o'clock we question why we have a headache. We are apt then to be nervous, or to speak sharply, hurting our friends by careless speech. By 5 or 6 we get home cross and tired with out the happy atmosphere to bring jeheer to our mothers*- “When the message was sent to the members of an early church, ‘Whatso ever ye do. do it heartily as unto the Lord,’ did it not mean that if they were temples of God, witnesses here for Him, nothing was too small to do for His glory? I have long tried when buying clothes, hats, not to think of fashion, but whether the dress, hat, etc., would be for the glory of God. Harmony, ap propriateness, beauty, should be consid ered, for all nature is, harmonious and beautiful, but am"I buying where con ditions are just and fair, have I money to pay promptly, and further, are the clothes light in weight .but warm and adapted to needs? Consider the lilies’ can be adapted to clothes as well as to other lessons. “Bureau drawers, closets, spaces un der beds are often revelations of char acter. When I think of the first resur rection on Easter day and study the great lesson, the smaller one seems also of importance.! ‘He heheld the linen clothes laid by themselves.’ ‘The nap kin th^t was about His head not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped, to gether In a place by itself.’ Here Is a lesson in housekeeping. We think it is a trouble to put our room in order in the morning, let us think that on one of the greatest mornings of history some angel, or the Lord Himself, put the grave in order. Nature, God’s crea tures, also teach us order. “Economy, care in trifles, is another characteristic to consider. The gather ing up of the fragments that none be lost after the feeding of the multitude, teach us a lesson. Care in little things is most necessary, and yet not such care that we get worried. Time or worry spent on non-essentials is not wise. Wor ry spoils many lives. “ ‘Do the best you can and leave the rest. Do not worry, smile.’ “ ‘She was so pleasant.’ ‘She made others happy.’ Simple words found on two old gravestones and yet how full of meaning. Cheery, patient, restful, have we these traits? Let me quote two verses which have helped me: “ ‘And it pays every time to be kindly, Although you feel worried and blue; If you smile at the world and look cheer ful, Tne world will soon smile back at you. So try to brace up and look pleasant, No matter how low you are down', Good humor is always contagious, But you banish your friends when you frown.’ * • • “ ‘The inner side of every cloud Is bright and shining, I therefore turn my clouds about, And.always wear them inside out, To show the lining.’ ” Not only does this letter teach many good lessons to the girls in business, but women everywhere can take it to themselves. “Cheery, patient, restful, have we these traits?” Miss Dodge has them. And it is an inspiration to work with her. Thoroughly absorbed in her great work, she has time for the small, sweet courtesies that help make life worth living. She thoroughly un derstands how to eliminate the non- essentials, and that gives her much more time and strength to do things worth while. I know that there are many who will read this and say that their lives are too quiet, too insignificant, to influence others. There has never been a life without its influence. Sometimes such lives mar the homes. Occasionally a younger observer will pattern after them and nobody be the wiser until it is too late, for “as the twig is bent the tree’s inclined.” Turn your cloud inside out if you cannot banish it. Remember, it is not always our cloud; we too often claim a cloud that might pass o%er us. — But if there is a burden to bear, a grief to share or a heart that is breaking ’neath a load we might share, let’s do it with the best grace possible. And it is not necessary to look away off for great things to do. There is the work that lies about our feet. And I can tell you from my own experience that if we are doing the best we can we are fitting ourselves for something better. My call to Japan, my work on this paper, what I’ve done through the Young Women’s Christian association, found me busy. ‘‘There’s a battle to fight. There’s a wrong to right, There’s a God who blesses the good with might; So fare ye forth with a song.” Faithfully yours, LIZZIE O. THOMAS. P. S.—Have you seen the new Annie Dennis Cook Book? I thought the first one as good as anybody wanted, but Miss Dennis has made it over, revised it and put it up to date. Canning clubs and homes contemplating putting up their surplus vegetables, figs and small fruit will find explicit directions in this new Annie Dennis Cook Book. See The Journal’s offer on this page today. The book sells for a dollar and is worth It. LIZZIE O. THOMAS. ONE CRUST PIES A lady In a certain city learned that many young women doing light housekeeping would buy pies if they could get them small enough, and that others would buy the baked crusts if they knew where to get them. So she joined the Woman’s Exchange and made a specialty of the baked shells in small sizes. Orders left with the Exchange would be filled ns the pur chaser desired. Sometimes the girls told her of their mince pies made in her shells, then there were all sorts of combinations and ex periments. Some made regulation pies and omitted the meringue and declared them just as good. Here are some that need only one crust, the meringue is at least pretty if not an im provement otherwise. Cream pies are subject to many varieties, but here is a good foundation to build them of, and to use for filling. Cream Pie—Put a pint of fresh milk on to get hot. A double boiler Is best If you have one. Then mix the yolks of two eggs with half a cupful of sugar ; add to It two rounding tablespoonfuls of flour, a pinch of salt and a toblespoonfulof cold milk, or enough to make the mixture smooth, stir this into tne not milk and stir constantly until It thickens. Use your favorite flavoring. Cool the mixture, oc casionally beating it to prevent lumpiness. Pour this into a baked shell. Cover with a merinque made of two tablespoonfuls of sugar and the whites of two eggs well beaten. In baking meringue leave the oven door open a few minutes and let it dry out a tiny bit before it browns, then it does not stick to the knife. . Chocolate Frosting is made by adding two tablespoonfuls of chocolate with the sugar to the beaten whites and brown as usual. Fruit may be used to advantage, and the left overs are thus enjoyed as much as the fruit course was. Peach Cream Pie—Lay the halves of canned peaches in the baked shells, pos. In the cream filling and finish with meringue. For Coconnut—Cook two tablespoonfuls of dried coconnut with the filling and sprinkle a little over the meringue. Bananas may be sliced and the filling poured over, then the meringue. Haisin Pie—This may he made with one or two crusts. If one crust, then the filling must cool!ed on the stove and added to the baked crusts. Take one cupful of seeded of* wateiU "! m alf ’ CT,pfl11 nt R PS ar and. one of water.

I have not let my interest in the letters lag because mine was not published. The letters telling how other people run *their homes and tram their children appeal to me more than any others, for I have high ambitions along tnose lines. I do want my home to be nice and my cnlldren well trained. Mrs. Alexander thinks that she has her uamls full, and twins are all that their reputa tion paints them, but I have four, the oldest four and a half years old, and a tiny little baby for the youngest.

But don’t think that I am in the depths of despair, or that I am going to mope at home. When I get a chance to go to cnurch or Sun day school or visiting I dress in my best, do my hair in the new style and get all the pleas ure there Is in the trip. That’s the way to keep well, and to be able to have the heart to see the pleasant things there are in one’s own home and family. Dear me. I haven’t a guarantee that any of you will ever see this letter, and my husband says that this Is a lot of good paper to be wasted. So I will wait and see the fate of ‘‘these few lines” before I write on another sheet of this good, clean paper. I think tnat I deserve the name of BUSY MOTHER. WENT TO SEE THE FARM Dear Household: All winter I thought I would write and especially since Miss Thomas told us of her new farm life. In fact, I was so Interested that in my dreams I visited her, helped to count the little chickens and pot them up for the night, thep were in the oats patch and each brood went to its own box; then we covered them up and put them out of harm’s way.. Then we went to see the garden. In fact, it was a delightful dream, and I was sorry to awake and find it not true. All of Miss Thomas’ Chats are enjoyed, but I like those most whicn tell of herself and where she nas been. I hope those dogs wich bothered you are dead, Miss Thomas, and if you can’t buy “rough of rats” in Atlanta, I’ll send you some. It is splendlfl for rabbits as well as dogs. Mrs. Alexander, come again and bring the twins, we all enoy them. What are their names? I think all twins are interesting and cute, but I’m always glad they pre tne other fellow’s and not living at my house. There Is a pair on our place, a boy and girl, Annie Lou and Andy Lee. The girl thinks she is much the older and larger and protects the boy. Poor little things, if some on© had tnem who would fix them up clean they would be pretty. The boy dips snuff and chews until his tongue is nearly paralyzed. I have tried to hire him to quit it, gave him sugar and candy, or any thing. He will keep it off of his mouth for awhile, then he gets so he doesn’t care, and I’ve seen his mother pour his little hand full and he would lick it up and hold it in his mouth, It seemed, like an hour. She knows it’s wrong, but won’t believe that is why he can hardly talk or walk, though seven years old. It is awful to * see such people parents of little children. , , . How many of you board the teacner? I do. It Is a good idea; then we can know better who our children are under so much of their time, and can co-operate with them. Wishing for eax:h of you a happy year, I am gtm ALABAMA MARY. THE NORMAL BOY Dear Household:': I’m a a silent admirer of Chat, Country Home, and in fact all of the Semi-Weekly Journal, and I get so much good out of It I feel like I want to add *my mite in regard to the rearing of boys. I have six. Two are men and hold good positions. You may say what you please, as long as your boy Is * little, not large enough to go to school, you can force him to do as you say, but when he gets off in other circles, do you know what he does. They will follow other’s examples rather than yours. My ex perience in life teaches that it takes all of your time, watching, praying and advising from the time* they * get old enough to go to school till they are twenty. If you can keep him in the right path till then, you have almost got him safe.

At the first signs of spring a good, blood-purifying tonic should be taken by every member of the family. “The expense of making such a tonic will fce small if one gets from the drug store 1-2 pint alcohol and 1 ounce kar- dene, ‘then mix these with 1-2 cupful sugar, adding hot water to make a quart. A tablespoonful taken before meals will soon clear the blood of all impurities, banish pimples and sallow ness and restore lost appetite and en ergy. No known remedy is so strength ening and energizing to a tired, worn- out system as this old-fashioned body- regulator. It is one of the best health- restorers known to medical science.” (Advt.) 1-45. Tot April 6—Gen. 25:27-34; 27; 1 Ril.QN EJo SSGfelibw-... Golden Text: “Jehovah is a God of justice; blessed are all they that wait for Him.” Isa. 30: 18. Twins are always interesting; I re member some that looked alike, weigh ed the same, dressed alike, laughed alike, talked alike, and even thought alike. When given a problem to state and solve independently, they stated the same problem, the bv,dy of the proof was slightly different, but they reached the same conclusion. That is not so much to be wondered at when we think they were born of the same parents, at the same time, and were raised un der the same environment^ Our lesson today is about twins who differed very materially at the last at least, even though their .early days were alike. TJheir divergence began when they were boys, for Esau liked to hunt, while Jacob was a ho^ne body. Fo this reason, their fatner Isaac cared more for Esau, for he had a very strong tooth for game, and enjoyed the veni son and other meats that Esau brought In. Their mother, however, cared more for Jacob, probably because she was thrown more intimately with him as he grew up. H’er affections may have been drawn to him the more because before they were born, God had told her that the elder should serve the younger, and she loved him the more for what he was going to be. A SERIOUS DIFFERENCE. When they were about twenty years old, an incident occurred which showed a very serious difference between the character of the two men. Esau came back from the chase tired and hungry and smelled the savory odors from the bowl of soup that Jacob had prepared. His appetite was so strong that he felt like he must have it, so he asked his brother for Sume, telling him that he was so faint he was about to die. I shouldn't be surprised if Jacop hadn’t prepared this on purpose. He had seen his brother Esau come back from the chase before and knew how hungry he was. I am quite sure he see this trap for him. Whether intentional or not, it worked. Jacob realized that this was his opportunity. Esau being the first born was'entitled to the birth right which carried with it, certain blessings. Probably Rebekah had tola Jacob of the promise which God haa made to her, and Jacob desired it very greatly. The birthright entitled the receiver to twice as muen of the prop erty as any other child, of authority in the family, of certain reirg?ous re sponsibilities. By reason of the birth right the receiver became the prophet, priest, and the king of the family. It was desired more than any other thing which could be received by inheritance. Jacob showed his nobility of charac ter in holy ambition for that which is worth while. Esau manifested his weakness of character in not caring for that which was his right, for he sold it to Jacob for a bowl of soup. His excuse was very plausible if it had been true. He said: “I am going to ( ie anyway. I might as well satis fy my hunger before I die.” But he was not anywhere near death; he was Just the victim of the appetite. The whole truth about Esau and Ja cob Is expressed in this uttie couplet: “Esau saw what ’e saw, Jacob saw what was real.” Esau proved that be was not a fit man to inherit the birth right, and become the leader of his ^amily, by holding so lightly the most precious possession which his family could give him. His vision was lim ted. He got what he went after, but he didn’t go far enough. He set his affections on things present, and let his appetite control his actions. So he sold his birthright to his brother Jacob. JACOB’S MISTAKE. Jacob was a shrewd man. He could drive a bargain as well as some of his descendants. God had promised him the birthright, but the mistake he made now, and twenty years later as well, was in an unwillingness to wait God’s time. He bad no right to take advantage of his brother's weakness. He should have waited God’s time. Twenty years later when h e and his brother were forty years of age, Isaac, being eighty, another crisis in his life came. Isaac’s eyesight had gotten bad; he was feeble and fearing the end was near, although it proved not to be, he called Esau to give him a pa ternal blessing before he departed. He sent him to get some venizon and per- pare it for him in a way that he liked. Rebekkah overheard it, and devised a scheme to defeat his purposes. She had Jacob get a kid and kill iv while she prepared it to be as savory as pos sible. She made known her plan to Jacob, which was that he should act a li% Jacob’s only objection to the plan was that he <vas afraid he would get caught, but finally h e yielded to his mother's persistence, and carried out the plan to perfection. He acted his part well, but he told no less than six lies m doing it. Now, this was not necessary. Since h« had bought the birthright he was entitled to the blessing. All that was necessary for him to have done was to have told his father, Isaac, of the transaction of his brother twenty years before. If Isaac knew of it and was trying to defeat his purpose, he deserved to be deceived, although I do not Intend for one moment to commend Jacob for his deception. Esau came in too late. He found out his mistake too late. But there was nothing more to be done. Although our lesson stops here, I am glad that w e continue the story next week. Otherwise we might have a very wrong impression of Jacob, whose blood flowed in the veins of the Babe of Bethlehem. We shall study next week his life and there learn something to his credit—for there Is a good deal to be said to his credit. For t.*e present, however, let us be content with these two lessons from his life. Let us emulate him in his desire for the hings which were real, rather than those which were just about him, and his willingness to sacrifice if need be in order that he might obtain them But let us avoid his mistake, and wait for the accomplishment of God’s plan. Wholesome Foods at Little Cost THE LIMA BEAN. BY. J. A. HUSIK M. D. It has been aptly said that the peas and beans may be called the vegetable beefsteaks, so rich are these in the food element contained in meats. The dry lima bean is the richest of them all. __ It came originally from South America, where it is a native plant. But at present the lima bean is cul tivated as a food product in many parts of the world. And a valuable article of diet the lima bean indeed is. The amount of its protein material, which is the maip food element of meat, is greater in the bean than in some of the meats. Its content of fat, on the other hand, is small, being about 1 per cent. But to compensate for the lack of fat the bean is verw rich in starches and sugars. On account of its richness in protein material, it may be used partly to take the place of meats. If it be kept in mind that porterhouse steak, for instance, contains only 22 p&r cent of proteins and the dry lima bean contains 18 per cent of the same food element, it will at once become ap parent what a r i ch dietary product the lima bean realy is; for its cost can in no way be compared to that of the high-priced meats. And yet the bean is rich in that very food principle for which meats are eaten. In this respect,* too, the bean is richer than the most nutritious of cereals—namely, oat meal. The protein content of the lima bean makes it a very good tissue builder, capable of replacing the daily wear and tea of the body. But the large dren’s faults, but let’s look at other mothers’ boys with the same eyes as onr own. There are not many “saintly” boys, that stay in this world long after they gecome “saints,” they are just “boys.” You may think mine are mighty bad, they are as good to me as any boy caft be. They never forget mother and I share In their prosperity. I hope this will do some mother’s heart good that just has nor mal boys, not saints. I am A SUBSCRIBER. THE COMMON WAY There’s an hour for each when the Angel’e speech To the tongue of man is given— When oartn is crossed as at Pentecost By the rushing fires of heaven; But the common way is for every day, And we common folks must face it With a common smile for each common mile And the little flowers that grace It. To trudge and trust In the daily dust Wtili « comrade tried and cheery— To lift the eyes to the heartening skies When the plodding feet grow weary, Is to bless the road and the hopes that goad And the beckoning stars that guide me. The common way that’s for every day Is the way you walk beside me. The world must plod at the call of God On a weary march and holy, From best to best, toward an end unguessed, But slowly—slowly—slowly. So the lot we bear with all life we share And the goal of all life's growin; For the common way that’s for every day Is the wav of God’s own going. ‘—AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR. SPRING HAS COME The sunbeams, lost for half a year, Slant through my pane their morning rays, For dry northwesters cold and clear, The east blows in its thin blue haze. And first the snowdrop’s bells are seen. Then close against a sheltering wall The tulip’s horn of dusky green, The peony’s dark unfolding ball. The golden chalice crocus burns; The long narcissus blades appear; The cone-beaked hyacinth returns To light her blue-flamed chandelier. See the proud tulip’s flaunting cup, That flames in glory for an hour— Behold it withering—then look up— IIow meek the forest monarch’s flower. When wake the violets. Winter dies; When sfrout the elmbuds, Spring is near; When lilacs blossom, Summer cries: “Bud little roses! Spring is here.” OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES. amount of the starches and sugars con tained therein renders it also valuable for the supply of heat and enegry. Men who do hard manuel labor and those who undergo great physical exertion of any kind will find the lima bean a valu able food. The bean should not be eaten unless very thoroughly cooked. When hastily prepared and not subjected to the action of slow and prolonged cooking or baking, beans are very indigestible. Persons who naturally have weak di gestive organs, cannot eat the bean ex cept in very small quantities. Very young children should not partake of the bean at all; 4 for this legume re quires a normal, healthy stomach to take care of it and to utilize it for tfye needs of the body. The average individual, however, need not fear any ill effects upon his system from the use of this food In moderate quantities. Its hi&h nutritive values, its palatability, and its digesti bility when properly prepared, should make it a very common food product in every household.

YOU AND YOUR WIFE WHERE CONFID ENCE IS MUTUAL. BY GRAHAM HOOD. If a business is to be operated suc cessfully there is one thing that the partners must possess in common, and that is complete confidence in each oth er. If one partner was forever ques tioning the methods of the other, sus pecting his motives and doubting his judgment, it would not be long before a dissolution of partnership would be come Inevitable. AVhile the mutual confidence is nec essary in the commercial world, the need for this relationship is still more imperative when the business is that of home making. Here, too, lack of confi dence breeds countless difficulties that are certain to lead to bankruptcy if the leakages are not repaired. To conduct a business firm efficient ly, th e partner^ invariably arrange an equitable division of duties. One as sumes certain specific responsibilities; another, other dutes, until they have divided the work between them. This accomplished to their mutual satisfac tion, they set to work to achieve the best results possible. From time to time they may confer upon important questions, but, so far as perosnal re sponsibility is concerned, the authority of each in his own share of the labor remains unquestioned until some exi gency arises to make a change in the arrangements necessary. This is not the basis on wnich many homes are run, although theoretically It should be. In the domestic firm there ample scope for a division of labor, and there are few homes where things woul<J not run more smoothly if such equitable arrangements wer e carried out. By reason of his position, it is the husband’s duty to find the money to meet the operating expenses of the household, while it is the work of the wife to see that the expenditures are made in a way to attain the best re sults and in a manner in keeping with the proportions of the income. If the two partners are to work together har moniously ther© must be a well defined basis of mutual understanding. Strangely enough, however, the busi ness man who is the sincerest advocate of system in the workship and office is frequently the one who is most negli gent of this factor when it comes to the management of the home. While recognizing the need for ready money for current expenses in his business— while fully appreciating the advantages to be derived from all discounts for cash and the many like economies—the idea that similar principles might also be applied in the conduct of the business of the home firm does not seem to occur to him. If a business man should attempt to conduct a commercial enterprise in the planless sort of way In which he ex pects his wife to manage the affairs of the home he would soon find himself in serious difficulties, and few who were acquainted with the circumstances would feel much sympathy for him. Common sense dictates the course to be pursued so clearly that no sensible man will attempt to run counter to it. He knows that, no matter how promising a project may be, a certain amount of capital is necessary, if it is to be float ed 1 successfully, and it is only the fool hardy individual who will attempt to launch such an enterprise if he does not know where the necessary money is to come from. Confidence in a wife means a great deal more than a belief in the sincerity of her love or faith her integrity. It must imply a willingness to trust her in the management of some of the financial problems as well as the af fairs of the heart or the training of the children. And the confidence shown must be no less genuine than that which he imposes in those who are associated with him in other business matters. He is willing that they should bear their share of the responsibilities; he credits them with possessing wise motives and good judgment; the fact that he is in business with them indicates that he believes that his interests are safe in their hands, and why should he not endow the little woman who is his partner in the home concern with an equal degree of respect and confidence?
