few weeks ago some one suggested we
take up the subject Of the Red Cross society.
its origin. ETC.. but no one has seemed to re-
spond- I think it fine subject and one
that should interest us all for the great good
1t has done. Remembering. . little per-
sonal sketch Of Clara Barton that 1 had.
thought would send 1t, and when there is
space you might put it in and is may set the
ball rolling. rs we coud hardly think Of Mas
Barton and he noble work she has done
apart from the Red Cross society.

and inexpensive and my John thinks its all
right:
Cocoa PuDDiss-one cup sugar. three
fourths cup Hour, one tables poonful Of cocoa,
one teaspoon salt. Mix these thoroughly;
then add two cups boring water, put into y
double boiler in hot water and in three min

cream or milk is nice In serving.

Dear M. B. Frienos:
hope some thought in the poem may
suggest to you . connection between 'the
light that cheers the way OF others" and
the work OF the Red Cross order, for it is
surely quite time that we opened this in
teresting subject in the column. I am
under deep obligations to F. c., who has
taken pains to write out so clearly and in
terestingly the history OF this order from
its beginning.

MOT A WILD AN NAL

The fact that Job Hartman, So
cialist, led in the Los. Angeles plI
maries, shows that the people OF tina
city do not look on a Socialist as
new species of wild animal to b.
feared.
The condition in that city furnishe
a new illustration OF very old truth
that they who become the wieiders O
big political or industrial power tenc
10 grow out of sympathy with th'
great body of citizens, and i'll fre
country new ahsnments OF citizen
are bound 10 result from time TO time
as against the administrative classes
The success OF Job Hartman do,
not mean that the people OF Los AL
geles have endorsed the entire social
istic propaganda. but that they re
pudiate the assaults made on the la
boring class by a portion of the press
The fact is that the American pee
pie are passing through the creates
revolution i'll their history They ar
destroying government for the dolla
and building government for man
kind. Insofar as the progressive Re
publican movement leads in that di.
rection il is being endorsed by popular
vote.
But in Los Angeles city affairs there
have been little that suggested any
thing but the dollar The Good Gov
ernment" movement, doing good worl
in purifying affairs, still is aligned
with dollars rather than with man
and large portion Of the citizenship
is not satisfied with 1nis condition.
The presumption seems TO exist tina
