future of the Chinese.

: Sir Robert Hart, director-general of
Chinese customs, declares that The
Chinese are destined to become a pow.
erful nation; but with such an i'm
mense mass the work must go slow,
and by the time they are organized
along modern lines, even IL they were
aggressive, which they are not, they
will know how to temper their
strength with wisdom AS to the
yellow peril" Sir Robert said he
thought that, though the Chinese are
likely to become formidable competi-
tors in industrial and trading matters,
they will not cause the world any
special trouble.

HOME INFLUENCES

A mighty influence in the home life
is that of good books. A good book is
even better than a good companion.
Place the thoughts of the purest and
noblest minds of the ages before the
household and their effect will lead to
purity and nobility of character
Besides good books let there be in
nocent games, attractive and fascinat-
ing to keep the members at home and
make home better than anywhere else.
In our age, especially in the cities
and towns, there are very many dan
gerous allurements to entice the boys
and girls from the family fireside in
the evenings. Counteract their force
by making home more attractive.
Keep the young off the streets, the
language of the street is always in
furious. and at every corner there is a
hand of temptation, beckontng in some
wrong direction.
To allow a boy on the streets in the
evening is almost equivalent to inden-
turing him to a life of sin. In the case
of a girl the thought is unspeakabie.
Swedenborg says that in heaven the
oldest angels are the youngest. IN
heaven the tendency is ever toward
perpetual youth.
In the earthly home all the members
can be young, they can grow toward
youth. in thought, in word and in
action. Bodies will grow old, but the
spirit can be kept young.
If you grow ole It will be bad for the
household.
Don't teach children that fun and
frolic ise displeasing to God-they are
not. The homes that are dreary and
dull are not based on the heavenly
pattern.
Childhood should be joyous. 1t is a
crime to suppress mirth and make
child old and grave. Llte's puruehs
will press heavy soon enough.
You will find that a billiard table IN
the home is better than pool parlor
in the saloon. ,,-,.

WAITING

The other day man got up little
earlier than some others who were bent
on the same purpose, and although the
day was not propitious and others hung
back, he flew across the English cham
mel. In the years to come thousands
will duplicate his act and later the
hourly crossing of the channel by me-
chanical fight will become the accept
ed order of things. Two years ago even
the enlightened people of this progress
sive nation ridiculed the possibility of
such a thing. This mans name will
go down to history. a monument will
be erected at the point where he alight-
ed and one at the point where he
started and the children's school books
will tell how Bleriot was the first man
to fly across the English channel.
His feat was not matter of chance,
but the result of long, patient costly
preparation, experiment and effort in
the face of ridicule, and even antag
onism. He was attempting a new
thing and the world hates new things
that tend to upset the old established
ones. Others were equally bent on ac-
complishing this same feat. equally
patient, equally elf-sacrificing-bu
they waited just little too long. They
waited for a favorable time. and slept
meantime while the man who would,
not wait. but made his own time, acted.
OF all the thousands who will dupli-
cate his act. he alone will achieve
fame, for he did it first-the others fol-
lowed.
Every step in human progress has
been taken by those who, refusing to
wait for a favorable day, made their
own day and acted while others waited.
Your own opportunity lies at your door,
but you wait for better time to grasp
it. Opportunity does not wait.-E. G.
Lewis in Womans National Daily.

SUMMER HEALTH OF A CHILD

In families where q certain daily
routine Is followed for the smaller
children the care and management is
greatly simplified. Days should be so
planned that rest and exercise in the
open air may alternate at intervals,
for many children are turned loose in
the morning after breakfast, returning
for luncheon or whenever it suits them.
They are allowed to remain for hours
in the, sun, overheating their blood,
which is always dangerous owing to
the congestion which is likely to follow.
Ice water Is usually consumed in
generous quantities and then a child,
to make himself still more comfortable,
seeks a cool, shady spot in which to lie
or sit down. Being fatigued, he soon
falls asleep. to awaken with cold or
sore throat, stubborn things to con-
Quer in warm weather.
The average child rises earlier in
summer than in winter because of the
longer days. The hours before 1O:3O
are best for outdoor play.
A warm or cold bath should be taken
in the morning or on retiring at night,
according to the physical requirements
Of the child. The warm all-oVer bath
is preferred. The amount of soil that
is easily acquired by even child with
cleanly habits Is truly surprising.
Furthermore, the daily tepid baths
keep the Skln III d Il6dllIly SldLC' -
cool bath to the waist is refreshing to
the small child in the morning where
a full bath Of the same temperature
would be too much of a shock.
The clothing at all times should be
comfortable in style and fit, especially
for the hours given to play, when bod
lily freedom and growth must not be
| hampered.
The afternoon nap should be an i'm
/ Al in
If for no other reason than it keeps a
child out of the heat and other be-
setting dangers. Furthermore, it light
ems the responsibilities of the mother
or nurse. A shady piazza with ham,
mock or swinging seat may be substi-
tuted for the indoor bedroom for the
daily nap.
Early hours should rule in the nur-
sery. Allowing a child to retire when
it feels so inclined is a serious mistake
All small children should be put to bed
from 7:30 to s o'clock, or still earlier.
When a child has been trained to eat
properly, he can usually be taught tc
accomplish other things of greater or
! less Importance.
Plenty of time should be taken with
all meals; on no account should he be
permitted to eat hurriedly, for, in SO
doing he encourages Indigestion, the
bane of so many of his older and wiser
advisers.
A child should be taught and CON-
PEELED to eat slowly, and this practice
should be persevered in until it has
become a habit. Admittedly, it does
require deal of patience on the part
of parents for mastication is very i'm
properly done until their sixth OF
seventh year.
| Vegetables should be mashed, the
meats permitted cut finely, cereals
cooked very soft and fruits neither toe
ripe nor underripe.

COLD MEAT DISHES

That too much meat is eaten during
the summer all doctors agree. Wheth-
er cold meat is worse than hot meat IS
a mooted point. But cold meat is pal
atable to many people, and to the wom-
an who is her own cook it is bless
ing.
Try these three simple new recipes,
and 1 am sureeyou will feel repaid.
They are delicious and inexpensive.
Chicken GeIatine
Boil a three-pound chicken until very
tender, skin and bone it and chop
rather fine. Pack 1t in buttered pan
in alternate layers of dark and light:
Boil the broth down to one quart. add
one-fourth teaspoon salt and paprika,
dash celery salt, one teaspoon lemon
juice and one teaspoon granulated gel
atine which has been dissolved. When
it begins to set pour over the chopped
chicken. When firm and cool set on
ice until ready to serve, then slice, and
garnish with parsley.
Veal Jelly
Boil three pounds of veal with one
teaspoon chopped onion, one tablespoon
celery seed, one teaspoon minced pars-
ley, one teaspoon salt, one-fourth tea
spoon cloves, dash cayenne and one
half teaspoon kitchen bouquet. Re-
return bone to kettle and boil until
liquor is reduced to one pint. Line
mold with hard-boiled eggs cut in
slices, pour in inch of stock, mix re-
mainder with chopped. meat, fill mold
and when cool place on ice. Serve In
loaf on bed of cress and slice at table.
Very pretty.
Pressed Beef
Simmer three pounds round of beef
in two quarts of water and one tea
spoon salt until tender and cool in
liquor When cold remove bones and
fat and chop fine. Boil liquor until re-
duced to two cups, add two table
spoons vinegar, one teaspoon mixed
spices, one-fourth teaspoon paprika,
juice and grated rind of one lemon,
mix Que cupful with meat thoroughly,
press in buttered mold. pour remainder
of liquor over. When cold serve in
slices with parsley as garnish.

Hints for the Weekend Hostess

ing bee. a straw ride, candy pun are
ali among the amusements possible.
If there is water near boating, SWIM
ming and fishing are added to these.
Then there are always trolley rides
to adjacent places.
If your party is at the seashore the
problem of entertaining is simple in
deed.
Surf bathing, sailing, grabbing, I'M
promptu beach parties, such as clam
bakes and marshmallow roasts, dane
ing and progressive games are all full
of pleasurable opportunities.
AS a matter of fact, the problem oi
entertaining a number of guests sc
that they all enjoy themselves depends
largely upon their capacity for self
amusement.
Given congenial people. pleasant
house and plenty to do, the hostess has
done her part for the entertainment of
her guests.
1t is wiser to have only two large
meals day. and keep the table
stocked with sandwiches, fruit, cold
meat and pastry, SO lnat lunch may be
had at any time without your guests
feeling the necessity of curtailing some
plea sure in order to return in time.

"D UBLIcIsTs may rail about the
permanent value of the various
woman movements in different
parts of the world" remarked Mrs,
George Sutherland, wife of the Utah
senator, before her departure for Blue
Hill, near Bar Harbor, Me-, says the
washington, d. c., correspondent to
the Philadelphia Record, but, brought
face to face with some of the results
OF the agitation, 1t is difficult to com
prehend any backward tendency. l
can frankly acknowledge that l have
never BEEN deeply impressed with the
expediency of women taking an active
part in politics. Yet, brought to a re-
alization of what it means in the COM
munity, l cannot but admire. What
ever may be the consensus of opinion
of giving suffrage to women, the truth
stands out that in Utah, at least, they
have proved themselves eminently fit
ted for the privilege, and they have
justified their claims. L have not the
least hesitancy in pronouncing equal
suffrage an unadulterated blessing for
the state, and a civic success and moral
incentive in the full sense of the word.

and could add another incident to civic
corruption. But one must understand
that almost pastoral conditions prevail
in Utah. There are no great cities as
the east knows them, no crowded or
floating population in any part of the
state. The women are rooted to the
soil as it were, and they take a high
view of their obligations to their
homes.
II have been edited to note that
womans influence in political life in
my envidonment is uplifting. ! have
heard seasoned politicians descuss GER
tain candidates whom they desired to
nominate for office, and invariably, in
weighing them in the balance, they
have looked sharp for the view which
the woman voters might take. l have
heard some candidate proposed and all
his good qualities brought out--he was
brilliant, he was trained in the work,
he was a good fellow and high type
of patriot-but If there was anything
against his private character, II ne
were intemperate, treated his family
i'll, was guilty of any of those oHenses
which the world leniently permits in
the good fellow, he would be dismissed
from consideration with the words:
He's all right, but the women will not
stand for him. This uplifting on the
part of the woman appeals to me as OF
paramount value and it cannot but
work for the good of all communities.

JANE adams, PRESIDENT

TN HE rumor has started, in the mind
of some vigilant reporter, it may
u be, that Miss Alice Stone Black
well, Junior editor of 1.-THE New Eng
land Woman's Jorunar' of Boston, is
advocating the nomination. by the suf-
fragists of our eminent and able Jane
Adams for the presidency of the
United States.
In the last number of that journal,
August z, Miss Blackwell quotes from
William Dean Howells in the last two
issues of Harper's Magazine, whc jays
that before that time comes Qor such
nomination. the country will become
more like a great family. and the pres
ident will be merely the mother of the
nation, and suggests the possibility of
having a man for president and n
woman for vice president, or vice versa.
She quotes also the prediction of
Chief Justice Brewer made at Vassar
college that a woman would some day
be president of the United States.
Miss Blackwell adds, This may hap
pen in the far future-we hope 1t will
but no one need worry about 1t. Popu-
lar prejudice IN favor of men for the
highest offices is so strong that no
woman could be elected, unless she had
uncommon ability, as in the case of
Mrs. Young, who was elected to the
superintendency of the Chicago schools.
world today as in any former age, and
as many in America as elsewhere"
Quoting further from Miss Blaclwell:
"If Jane Adams were president she
would fill the office with as much dis
cretion as Mr.. Taft, as much zeal for
righteousness as Mr.. Roosevelt and
more breadth of mind than either"
This is the only reference she makes
to Miss Adams, but continues that 81
woman elected to a high office by pop
ular vote is sure to be a woman of
brains. A girl born into royal family
has as much chance of being fool as
If she were born in a more lowly sta
ton"
1t seems quite improbable that Miss
Adams would allow her name to be
thus used at this early date. She is a
person of great discretion, and without
personal ambition, devoting her life
tunate and disfranchised.

The most shameless deception a
