AIM IN WORK.

The old proverb, Work pegun is
half done" has been tried and proven
true in all kinds of work. To be we'll
begun, it is necessary that work should
be we'll planned, the haphazard, tho
slipshod, half-hearted worker never
can reach the standard of excellence.
In the minds of many women there
still exist the idea that housekeeping
can be done, and done we'll, by any
one without much training and with
no study. Let us hear what Rose
Terry, cook, says on that subject:
After much meditation and expert
ence, ! have OWNED that 1t takes as
much sense and refinement and talent
to cook a dinner, wash and wipe a
DISH make bed and dust room as
goes to the writing of a novel or shin
ing in high society
Housekeeping is an art, science.
and needs careful thought in planning
as does all effective work. There are
so many good women drifting along
In the world with not much thought
of why they have certain work to do,
nor do they realize that they are i'm
portant factors In the great scheme of
existence. We are so apt to think our
influence and impress upon society is
small, yet 1t Is just as important in
its way as those who have greater
place.
We could make this an ideal world
if each We're ready to do his duty to
the very best of his ability keeping In
mind and working toward high ideal.
When we arc ready to do little
more than is required of us, to strive
to make each piece of work little
better than the last, we are on the
high road to successful life.
One of the most important things
for housekeepers to remember is that
their work is one of utmost impor-
tance and it should be regarded with
dignity There is hard work in any
thing that is worth doing, whether
it be the making of statue or loaf
of bread What sort of statue would
sculptor make who took his block
OF marble and aimlessly cut away
with no definite idea in his mind OF
what he wanted to make? The rea-
son for so many of lifes failures is
that we do SO much of our work with
neither aim nor preparation.

THE VALUE OF VEGETABLES.

Lettuce is vegetable good for the
nerves, cooling to the blood and in
duces sleep. AS 1t contains a large
proportion of water, 1t is a vegetable
most desirable for the hot months.
Asparagus, spinach and dandelion
have marked effect on the kidneys.
Celery is another vegetable good for
the nerves, as 1t is soothing and sleep
producing
Tomatoes are good for the liver,
cabbage is rich in phosphates. which
are needed In the blood.
Cucumbers are said to improve the
complexion, and carrots have a reputa-
tion for giving high color to the skin
as we'll as improving the eyes and
hair.
Onions are the best nerve vegeta-
BILE, a remedy for coughs and colds,
purify the blood and a remedy for in
somnia.
Turnips. radishes and beets are veg
etables valuable as foods.
A large part of the food value of
vegetables consist In the sauces with
which they are served Beets with oil
or butter are very fattening.
Celery cooked until tender and
served in white sauce is an appetiz-
ing method of serving that vegetable.
A nice combination for a salad is
cooked asparagus tips arranged on
head lettuce and slices of radish
around the asparagus. Serve with a
French dressing and season with
onion juice and minced parsley. This
may be served as a dinner salad or
with the addition of few slices of
hard-cooked egg it will make a salad
substantial enough for luncheon.
Sweet green peppers and cabbage,
with few nuts and simple boiled
dressing, makes a most wholesome
salad With mayonnaise and served
in heart lettuce it is really elegant.
Chopped beets served with mayon-
naise colored rose color and served
on a nest of shredded cabbage or eel
cry is another pretty salad.

felt he must. There was no resisting

Maloney turned off every electric

The rest ef the room was in shadow
One saw only these two figures
standing vividly out in the strong
1ight-the whitefaced prisoner and
mis- stalwart jnquisitor In the dark
background stood Policeman Delaney.
Close at hand was Maloney taking
notes.

eyes on his trembling victim.
'I did not do it," replied Howard
slowly and firmly. returning the police

calmly.
The captain glared at him for a
moment and then suddenly tried new
tactics.

manded.

"No-he said he couldn't give it to

Then you killed him
.I did not kill him. replied Howard
positively.
Thus the searching examination
went on, mercilessly, tirelessly. The
same questions, the same answers, the
same accusations, the same denials,
hour sitter hour. The captain was
tired, but being a giant in physique,
he could stand it, He knew that his
victim could not 1t was only ques-

The Worth Of the Voice.

rev wonderful is the human voice!
1t is insc,ed the organ of the soul!
The intelkSct Of man sits enthroned
visibly upon his forehead and in his
eye, and the heart of man is written
upon his countenance But the soul
reveals itself in the voice only; as
God revealed himself to the prophet Of
old in the still, small voice, and in
the voice from the burning bush. The
soul of man is audible, not visible. A
sound alone betrays the flowing of the
eternal fountain, invisible to man.

minutes before the fatality took place.

while he was on the train In Ypsilanti,
on his way home, and he Immediately
returned to Detroit. He collapsed on

forts Of a physician to revive him.

Doyle, manager OF the Ford sales
agency, he made arrangements TO have
the body shipped to Ann Arbor. Mr..
Bowling returned to Ann Arbor with
Mr.. Wenley.
