EDUCATORS MEET
"WORLD PEACE" Is THEIR
RALLYING CRY.
National Association, in Convention at
Los Angeles, Cables Resolutions
to Hague Delegates.

LOS ANGELES. July 9.-'World Peace"
is the rallying cry of the annual conven-

citation, in session here. The 1900 dele
gates listened intently to the address of
the president, Nathan C. Schaeffer, on
How Can the Schools Aid in the Peace
Movement?" and applauded vigorously his
denunciation of war. At its conclusion
the convention received and referred to
the committee on resolutions a strongly
worded resolution offered by President
Thompson of Ohio University favoring
international arbitration disarmament and
other international reforms. Two sections
of the resolution were cabled to the Amer
lean delegates at The Hague. The reso-
luton will be reported back to the con-
vention.
Three of the most important questions
to come before the convention and which
will be finally voted on Wednesday were
virtually settled last night. e. @. Cooley
superintendent of schools of Chicago will
be the next president of the associations
the next convention will go to Cleveland,
in, 1908; and the new constitution and by
laws will be adopted.

of teachers in the schools of the civilized
world shall begin in earnest and with skill
to inculcate sentiments of peace and the
principles of Justice and fair dealing In the
treatment of weaker nations, we may hope
for the limitation of ornaments and the
dawn of an era of peace that is worthy of
the disciples of the Prince of Peace.

in advance, / remain, CURIOUS.
Rhubarbade-Take eight good sound
talks of rhubarb, one lemon, sliced thin,
and o~ne-quarter of a pound of raisins.
Boil these in two quarts of water, covered,
for a half hour. Strain and can while hot.
When cold add two or more teaspoonfuls
to a glass OF ice water. according to taste.
Sweeten with sugar and serve very cold.
i do not know whether this is the recipe
you desire, but 1t Is well worth trying.
Will you kindly tell me, through your
valuable information column, what will re-
move red paint from a white linen skirt,
and very greatly oblige.
UNFORTUNATE.
Thin potash to the consistency of paint
and apply to the paint stain. Roll the
garment up for a while, and then wash 1t
in the regular way, drying it in the sun.
Or soften the paint with vaseline and
then rub the spot well with benzine. II
the paint is very dry chloroform will be
the best agent. ~Turpentine is also good.
Equal parts of ammonia and turpentine,
If applied several times, will prove effec-
tive. If a mark is left 1t may be removed
with chloroform.
Kindly let me know through the Ques-
tion Box a way to wash a white silk dress
and a blue and white checked cotton volle
dress, so as to give them a little stiffen-
ing, and oblige. INQUISITIVE.
70 wash the silk dress make a strong
lather by cutting up a piece of soap and
pouring nearly boiling water on 1t; heat
up with a fork and, when a little cool,
wash the dress well in the lather by
squeezing 1t with the hands. Do not rub
it or rub soap directly on it, unless much
soiled. Wash through two strong fathers
and rinse in soapy water. Squeeze through
a wringer, keeping the silk as fiat and
smooth as possible. Shake we'll, hang up
a short time. and iron while damp.
The soar in the rinsing water will give 1t
a little stiffness, like that in new silk.
Soak the wolfe In water to which a good
quantity of salt has been added to set the
color. Wash in the regular way. without
soap directly on it. Then rince
in water to which a little gum arabic
has been added. You will have to use
your own judgment about washing 1t, as
l have heard that cotton voiles do not
very well.

THE AFFLICTI0M
OF A FLAT FOOT,

Flat foot is a very common afhiction.
1t is also one which is frequently over
by physicians.
The sufferer complains of pain in the
heel, the ankle, the inner border of the
foot, great toe. the muscles Of the calf,
the knee or ever the hip. These symp-
TOMS are attributed TO rheumatism, and
another 1at-footed individual plods his
weary way.
Increased deformity is added to what
may have been merely foot strain in the
first place. A durable case has become
well-nigh incurable.
Any factor which ends to diminish the
muscular power of the foot may cause
flat foot A great increase in the weight
borne by the foot may cause 1t.
This increase in weight may be actaul,
such as occurs in people who put on a
great deal of fat, or 1t may be relative,
such as occurs In athletes. Jumpers
especially. But by far the most common
cause is a cramping of the foot, brought
about by improper shoes.
For treatment of this condition me-
chanical support to the deformed foot is
practically all that is necessary. This
mechanical support Is best afforded by
means of the footplate made from highly
tempered steel and nodded upon a plaster
cast of the foot.
The footplate should be worn as long
as 1t is required, but no longer. Ad-
ditional wearing of the plate beyond the
time necessary, as indicated by the symp-
toms. is simply an additional cause of
harm. With the footplate a shoe should
be worn fitting the normal contour of the
foot.

WOMEN THE WORLD OVER.

There is much ak about the condition
Of workingw6men and the efforts that are
required to improve them. but no one in
this country seems TO have thought as in
diligently about the matter as have the
French. A bill has been introduced In the
French Parliament by DIR. Durand to give
married women, employed by the State, an
hour or two off duty every day to take
care of their babies. The Ministry OF
Posts and Telegraphs has gone a step
farther and has ordered that an extra hour
be given all mothers in the postal, tele-
graph or telephone service who have babies
requiring their attention. And moreover,
a plan is under consideration to set apart
q room in every government building for
babes and a nurse to be placed in charge
Of 1t.
There Is a sort of American fiction that
the mothers of little children are not
workers, and a disposition to ignore the
fact if it is Known. 1t seems thai the
government might even do better and
agree to pay mothers with babes the
salary they might otherwise earn If they
would stay at home and take care of their
own Infants. Or, fathers might be re-
quired to support mothers during the
period of the helplessness of their chill
dren.
Women In England nave had municipal
suffrage for years, and have exercised 1t
largely and are far more interested in the
general elections than are their American
sisters. They are now contending for par
liamentary suffrage, which they are sure
to win in the near future.

There is an old proverb which says
Constant dripping wears away a stone.
1t could well be altered 10 Constant nag
ging wears a saint and applied to the
tortured husbands and children of naggfng
wives. Have you not seen some of the
finest men In creation Inundated and
made morose. sullen, irritable creatures
by a tyrant of a wife who never does
much else but find fault with her sur
roundings and the world In general2
Such men and such families are indeed
to be pitied, for 1t Is always the best VINO
give in. The man or woman with the
large generous nature. too good natured
to be always quihbling and quarreling
over petty ~triles, Is the easiest sort OF
prey for the household tyrant.
| know of a woman who never misses an
opportunity to make herself appear the
martyr, when reverses cross the door step
Of her household. II sickness comes, no
matter who is afflicted. she is the worst
sufferer In her own estimation at least;
the inconvenience to herself at such times
annoys her more than the fact hat some
member of her household is suffering, and
she never forgets to remind those around
her how much she must bear, when as
a matter of fact the bulk of the extra
work falls on the shoulders of some other
member Of the family.
Such an attitude can only be attributed
to gross s~elfishness, and a n nviou desire
to monopollze every comfort to the ex-
clusion of every one else in the home.
A woman who makes Scenes and uses
her tears and her wailing as a weapon for
her tyranny, can often subject even the
strongest man to her whims and notions.
She rules. because he Is a gentleman, and
rightly considers such family Jars and
matrimonial scenes as vulgar and out of
place in the hom3, but her ruling is about
the only triumph she enjoys. and she
usually pays a heavy price for that, for
the husbands of such wives should not
be censured IL they cease TO love them.
The hen-pecked husband Is really to be
pitied, but the wife of such a one Is
really a greater object of pity, for she
soon f1nds that while he Is her husband
legally, her hold on his love is soon gone.
Love and tyranny can hardly exist In the
same sphere.
