Mrs. loves Address.


The chief feature of the opening SEES
sion was Mrs. loves address, which is
declared by everyone to be one of the
finest speeches ever delivered before
the convention. The applause which
greeted and interpolated it and the
prolonged applause that marked it's
close might have been construed as an
evidence of their support for another
term of Office. The address was not
only masterful but practical, and she
made splendid impression by her plea
for the working women.
This address was preceded by words
of welcome from David S. Rose, mayor
of Milwaukee; Mrs. James Sidney Peck,
on behalf of the Woman's club, of Mil
waukee, and Mrs. Arthur Neville for
the Wisconsin federation. The re-
spouse was by the vice president, Mrs.
Sarah Platt-Decker, who was given an
ovation and who in turn said some very
clever things.
Reports Presented.
At the afternoon session. of which
Mrs. Lowe was chairman, came series
of reports. Mrs. George H. Noyes, of
Milwaukee, chairman of the creden.
tials committee, reported on the mum.
Der of delegates that had registered up
to noon. This included Gs4 delegates
and 1877 alternates, including about 100
officers and members of committees
who were entitled to a vote So far
Illinois has the largest delegation, num-
bering 40 members. The committee
on rules and regulations. Mrs. Lucia
Blount, of Washington, reported that
delegates wouhs be allowed only one
speech on a motion and then the
speech should not exceed three min
utes. This was amended to read five
minutes only when the question of re-
organization came up. Several other
reports We're made.
At night the Alhambra theater was
thronged with a fashionable audience
to see one of the star attractions of the
convention. The stage was set as a
sculptor's studio, and as Mrs. Hamlin
Garland, of West Salem, Wis, lectured
on the possibilities of sculpture in our
cities and towns two art students in
scnlptors' attire modelled in clay. This
session was arranged by Mrs. Herman
Hall, of Chicago, chairman of the art
committee,
VIII De n Candidate.
Succumbing to pressure brought to
bear from delegates all over the coun-
try, Mrs. Lowe announced about mid
night that she had consented. contrary
to her expectation when she came to
the convention, to allow her name to be
used as candidate for the presidency.

After all that has been said about
the large quantity CT valuable food that
is going to waste in the shape of edible
mushrooms, recent investigations
made by Prof. II B. Mendel OF Yale
show that the nutritive value Of the
mushroom is not SO very high after all.
Science describes Prof. MendePs ex-
pertinent as follows: Chemical anal
yses were combined with experiments
In artificial digestion and special at
tention was given to the amount Of
available (digestib.e} proteid present.
The latter was found to be not over
2 or g per cent In fresh mushrooms,
which shows that the prevailing idea
Of the great nutritive value of mush-
rooms is not vet Justified. They may
be valuable as dietetic accessories, but
they do not deserve the term vege-
table beefsteak. Their nitrogen Is
largely In the form OF nonproteid
bodies. The amount Of fat, cholester-
in, soluble carbohydrates, crude fiber
and inorganic substances contained in
them corresponds in general with that
found In other vegetable foods, such
as peas, corns and potatoes. "
Rice bread is the staple food Of the
Chinese, Japanese and a large portion
of the inhabitants of India. In Persia
the bread is made from rice -four and
milk; it Is called lawash. The Per
sian oven is built in the ground about

two feet long is thrown on the bench

few moments to bake, and when baked

set are taken as they fall from the

flock OF fowls. 1t is possible to pick
out one-fourth OF them that are ex-
ceptional In appearance and apparent
vigor. The same applies to flock Of

1t is reported that the New York

eggs last year. These retailed at an
average of 20 cents per dozen, It Is
claimed, and. II that Is 50, the receitps
were IN excess Of 10000, 900. The
figures are, Of course, conjectural. But
1t is possible to arrive at something of
an approximate estimate by getting
