the result measured by years is little

how women have overcome prejudice

OF the college. and read chapter on
early efforts of women to enter he

an account is given of a clinic at the

women were permitted to attend. Here

DO they take the medical course as

Does matrimony interfere with their

DO they prove incompetent az prac-

The answers TO these questions may
best be found in a table compiled by
the college and which shows results
that speak well for the institutions

These seven men in the order of

Coke for Locomotives.

The experiments with coke as a
locomotive fuel which the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad has been making for
some time past at Pittsburg have been
SO useful that additional engines are
to be fitted with fire boxes suitable for
burning this fuel. 1t is probable that
the company will also use coke at
other cities, and this practice of using
smokeless fuel at terminals may be
expected to become a common one
with all railroads entering large cen
ters of population, as the public de
mand for freedom from the smoke
nuisance is becoming more insistent
and ordinances are being passed at
many places that will make it neces-
sary for railroads to modify the
amount of smoke made by locomotives

1t is not only important to know

should have a light tint that the mer-
est fieck of dirt can be seen; that the
sheerest cobweb can be brushed

walls.

Kitchen walls to be thoroughly sat

same as every other wall in the
house. They should be coated regu-
larly in the spring and fall of each
year with a light tint.
The care OF the pantry requires
constant attention. The walls should
be brushed over every year, the
dishes removed from the shelves
which should be thoroughly wiped
