COOPERATIVE KITCHENS.
They VIII Solve the Problem OF
Household Econ mics.


Now that so large a number OF advanced
and far-seeing men and women are awaken
ing to the scope of domestic science and
studying combinations of food materials with
reference to hygiene, they will not long con-
tinue to relegate such important interests to
body of ignorant of1ce-holders. For the
abundantly rich the problem presents but
few difficulties. Wealthy families will always
be able to secure satisfactory resident cook
who has been trained in the best European
or American schools, but for families OF
moderate means it looks as If the co-opera-
tive kitchen would be the ultimate way out
of the difficulty. At present there Is waste
of fuel, of cooks. of kitchens in household
economics, and in order to make a COOK
worth her keep and her wages she Is often
obliged to act as laundress. Thoroughly
skilled labor in all departments of living is
becoming more and more specialized. A CO.
operative kitchen would have to be conve-
nient to a number Of houses; perhaps later
an architect will build houses around
block and kitchen for the use OF all In
central courtyard. Such a Kitchen coulo
well be conducted by representative of the
refined and educated class who would under
stand moral cooking and would have also
a cultivated taste for edibles and seasoning.
She or he, as might be, would want to 90

their clumsy adjuncts and to substitute gas
stoves. spirit lamps and electricity. An I'm
provement in the personnel Of cooks and their
environment, demonstration Of the WORTH
ness of the profession, would present 1t In
different light to all wage-earners, and the
American sovereign would no longer aflx
a stamp Of odium to cooking as business,
and further adaptations and changes would
take place which cam not be foreseen from
this distance. The trend OF the times To-
ward having less food prepared In nome
kitchens is plainly visible in the quantity OF
bread. meats and salads, pies. cakes and
desserts purchased not only from bakers,
caterers and confectioners, but from the in
dustrial exchanges, in which private house
keepers of the most honorable grade have
made an entering wedge as cooks for the
public market-Frances Albert Doughty, IN

Tho q b wishes to impress upon the

fairly and seriously expressed. Signatures
will be withheld from print If 1t is 80 re-
quested but we want the views as well as
the news of what lis being done and what
ought to and can be done by club women
and non-club women to improve the cond1-

We would especially urge that where wom-
en-, whether members of clubs or not, have
tried any experiment in connection with their
particular line of work they would describe
the results for this column, as nothing Is
SO instructive, encouraging and inspiring as
example. Comparisons are always helpful,
and we are therefore anxious that clubs
should submit notes in their progress. To
facilitate this work club programmes are val

The Ramie Industry.

The value of ramie or China grass
for cloth fiber Is not secret and has
not been since the time of Confucius,
but the impossibility of cleaning the
fiber except by hand has vitiated it's
economic value. While it's long,
smooth threads work up into a textile
nearly as beautiful as silk, stronger
than hemp and firmer than cotton.
since it neither shrinks nor stretches,
yet there are but eight mills in all Eu-
rope that are spinning ramie, because
of the difficulty encountered in ex-
tracing the filaments from the stalk.
In China, where the ramie mills sup
ply a great home market, the fiber
is cleaned by hand at the rate of two
pounds day. But now, thanks to
the efforts Of w. H. Packer, of Cleve-
land, O., there is a good prospect that
a boy may be able to clean 400 pounds
a day by means of the Packer ramie
defibrator. If the industrial value of
this machine can be made available
there will be a new deal in the textile
world. with ramie as trump. The tex
tile would compete in cheapness with
cotton, is better than linen and finer
than either.
There is no reason why the prospect
should dishearten the Southern cot
ton growers, since the Southern states
can raise finer f1bered China grass than
can be produced in the tropics. More
over, cotton has to be replanted; ramie
does not require replanting and other
wise demands but scant attention.
With these natural advantages the
South can, if the Packer defibrator
turns out well, supply not only home
market, but easily compete with the
Chinese hand labor that Is now sup
plying the ramie mills Of Europe. The
Northern manufacturers must also re-
ceive great benefit from the successful
operation Of this "ramie gin"

Appropriations for Special Mail

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The house
today practically decided the Brown
Swanson contested election case from
the fifth Virginia district in favor of
the sitting member, Mr. Swanson.
Democrat, by declining to consider the
case. Twenty -four Republicans Joined
with the Democrats and Populists on
this vote.
The postoffice appropriation bill was
then taken up. The greatest surprise
of the day was the adoption of two
amendments striking out Of the bill the
appropriation of Sill, 900 for the fast
southern mail and $4,000 for special
mail facilities from Kansas City to
Newton, Kan. This appropriation for
the southern mail has been fought an
nually for six or seven years, but has
always been retained. The increase in
the appropriation for the pneumatic
tube service from S225,000 to 100000
was knocked out by the elimination OF
the provision, which fell under a point
of order The house adjourned with
motion to recommit 1t pending. The
molten carried instructions to strike
out the words, Newly acquired terri

ton of 100000 for mail facilities in

could not place. but with the inbred courtesy,
which impelled the mayor to coach his patrol

A few minutes later. as the mayor was in
the National German-American bank, talking
to Theodore Draz. the assistant cashier. he
saw the man walking down the other side Of
the street.

banker.
