RENE Balm SUBMITS "A RECIPE

Rene Balm never cared for the SUI.
perman nor even for the overcivilized
type of man. He never used the word
eugenics. Science and matter are to
him negligible factors when they are
not supplemented by culture and thu
spirit.
In these days when every one is
greatly concerned with anthropocul-
ture, Bazin had to come forth with his
little recipe for breeding good human
specimens.
"The man whom tomorrow will de
mand," he said in recent address. SIS
the thorough and fearless man, the man
who will do his work we'll and for
whom life will have no terrors. The
training of this man will require the
same methods as the training of a
Christian. for If there ever is a super
man he will be Christian. If there
is a nobility whose ranks are open
to all it Is the nobility Of Christianity,
which assures perfect equality to
every soul in every field of endeavor

of younger generation and accord
ingly he has sent in his resignation

Professor Harris has been president
of the university since 1899 and dur

of President Harris that the first fund
for increasing the salaries OF the

was realized. the object Of which was
to increase the incomes of the senior

FOR THE UNEXPECTED GUEST
Hospitality Shelf 10 Now Necessary
Adjunct to Every Well Regulated
Kitchen Cupboard.

Nowadays no kitchen cupboard 10
up to date without hospitality shelf.
And the shelf Is never bare. When
ever an inroad Is made upon 1t, the
loss is supplied again Immediately. It
holds as generous collection as pos
sible of canned soups, meats. vege-
tables, fruits and relishes. Many Of
these are of the housewives own put
ting up, proud and tempting showing
the rest are the best brands she can
buy, SO that she has no fear, In US
ing them, of any such injurious con-
sequences of ptomaine poisoning.
There are also boxes OF gelatine on
the hospitality shelf, spices and herbs
for favoring. sifted bread crumbs and
q few shelled nuts-all in tightly COW
cred glass jars-and many other little
first aids to the hungry peculiar to
each individual housekeper.
Above the shelf hangs a list Of cas-
lily prepared dishes and recipes
soups, salads, desserts, ETC., that have
proved favorites Of the family or of
guests entertained In the fiutter OF
an emergency it often happens that
many an excellent recipe escapes

Charcoal a Necessity.

II housewives knew the value Of
charcoal in the home they would new
or be without q supply. 1t should not
only be kept in cupboards and ward
robes to collect the dampness. but also
in the refrigerator, where it will keep
sanitary condition and absorb any
food odors. Here it should be re-
newed weekly in order that its eff.
hciency be preserved. The discarded
charcoal need not be thrown away
after used for this purpose. as 1t is
still good for fuel use. Powdered
charcoal mixed with salt is excellent
for the cleaning Of the teeth or ver-
digris from copper utensils.

About Feather busters.

Every housewife should be supplied
with plenty OF feather dusters-dusters
for all the differnt kinds Of busting.
There is the strong, stout feather dust
er for the rougher work, such as the
window stills and the porch rockers.
and the very small ones to be used
on the highly vanished work of the
bedroom and parlor. Then, there is one
buster with long handle that will
reach to the top Of the doors and win
dow frames. This article is of recent
manufacture and has lately been placed
on the market. 1t Is to be recommend
ed to every housewife who has trou.
BILE in reaching the high places when
busting.
Feather busters can be washed, q
fact unknown to most women. The
washing is done with little CASTLE
soap in a basinful OF hot water, to
which tablespoonful Of ammonia has
been added. In this way feathers Of
almost any kind can be renovated and
thoroughly cleaned.

moments she was prepared to receive
