The New Woman In China.

1t is certainly remarkable that
China for ages the most conservative
nation in the world, should today by
leaps and strides become in some de-
gree so radical and liberal that the
spectator stands amazed. The latest
feature that surprises US is that in
the new republic China gives woman
an equal share in the ballot with
men.
Remembering the previous condi-
ton of semi-servitude peculiar to
Oriental women and inherent in
Oriental civilization. we cannot but
wonder at the acumen and gallantry
Of the men who have to do with
forming the new government. There
is, to be sure, a restrictive qualifica-
ton as to the vote, but this affects
men and women in the same way.
The one Of either sex who wishes to
vote must possess some property and
know how to read and write. There
is stirring Of energy on the part Of
Chinese women, who have hitherto
been deprived of education. They
are now determined to know the
alphabet, to read and write, and the
day is not far distant when they will
claim the educational privileges If
women in other lands.-Christian

SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST FLIES.
The Public Should Know The Worst
About The Vile Creatures.

Raleigh, N. c., June 3.-In dis
cussing the real facts about flies"
the State Board Of Health, in bull
'etin now in press, says: Files are
the vi'est ceeatures affecting man.
kind After taking this stand the
Board proceeds to explain that the
only objections to flies used to be
because they were pests and tor
ments. Later says this authori-
ty, eve learned about the fly's breed
ing places, his habits Of life, and the
possibility of his carrying nauseat-
ing filth on his body from stables,
garbage cans and privies to our
houses, our persons, and our food.
Then it was that flies became ex-
tremely disgusting, to say the least.
By far the geeatest objection to flies,
however, now comes from the fact
that we know conclusively that, be-
sides being a discomfort and carry
ing filth, they spread tremendous
amounts of disease. Besides actual
ly dropping bacteria and filth from
their feet and legs, flies may trans
NIT disease by discarging their vile,
disease laden excreta either directly
or indirectly upon the food"
In summing up the remedy the
article states that ''for immediate
protection, and probably for many
years to come we shall have to re-
sort to screening all doors and win
doWs. But the time will come when
our municipal authorities will waken
up to the gravity of the situation
and abolish flies by abolishing their
breeding places. Then we shall
pass and enforce ordinances requir-
ing the screening Of all manure and
the general use of sanitary privies.
Until then, however, the individual
householder may do much with wire
swatters and sticky fly paper in the
house and fly traps on his garbage
can outside"

Some Coed Advice.

An editor in South Carolina re-
ceived the following note:
Dear Sir: | am a young man
working for a salary of $50 month.
l have a pretty good chance for a
raise and have saved $500. l want
to buy an automobile and l want to
get married. too. Do you think l
could afford to do both? Which
would it be best to do first?"
To this the editor makes this re-
ply:
If you have picked out a girl
who can support you in the style to
which you have been accustomed,
go ahead and marry her, and devote
your own savings to the purchase of
a car. If the young lady in ques-
ton is not wealthy, and both girl
and car are absolutely necessary to
your continued existence, you had
better take on the car first, and then
hurry up and marry the girl before
she finds out what hopeless bone
head you are If you try to reverse
this order and annex the girl first,
YOU will find that with millinery and
patent baby foods at the prevailing
prices, YOU will never get in shoot
ing distance of a secondhand veloci-
nede on your present income

Romance OF An Aged Couple.

In the northern part of Surry
county there is wonderful old mar
ried couple. The husband was 92
years of age March 21st and his wife
was 90 April 21st.
They live alone in little home in
the mountains doing their own house
work ard farming. The man plows
with as much vigor as man of fifty,
while his wife assists in the field.
One looking at Robert Billings and
his good wife, Mary Ann, would ne
yer think that they have almost
reached the century mark. Both
have plenty Of hair on their heads
and it is not very gray. Mr.. Bill
ings and his wife have received their
second sight and read without
glasses.
The story Of the courtship and
marriage OF this couple is interest
ing. Mr.. Billings relates with a
smile the story Of their first meet
ing. He says that when he was just
four weeks old his parents carried
him to see his present wife Mary
Ann, who was then one day old. He
saws that he fell in love with her at
that first meeting, and that he made
up his mind then to marry her.
His fancy never changed, they
were married just as soon as they
were old enough, and now after the
children have left them they are still
living happily together waiting for
the unset.-Lexington Dispatch.

PLANTING Big TREES.
Forest Service Raising Several Acres
Of Giant Tree Species.

Washington, May 3O.-The forest
service is raising several acres of
big tree seedlings on the Tohoe ma
tional forest in California, at more
northerly point than any natural big
tree grove. While the giant sequoias
are found in the forests of the Sier-
ras at various points throughout
total range Of some $50 miles in the
northern two-thirds of this range
there is practically no natural re-
production 1t has consequently
been a question whe;ner the species
would not practically disappear from
this region when the present mature
trees die.
The most northern existing grove
of big trees is on the Tahoe forest,
but about "a miles southeast of the
site selected for planting. This site
is on a moist fiat not far from Ne
vada City, and is about 2,7OO feet
above sea level. The first seeding
was done in the fall of 1910, with
very successful results, and last fall
an additional area was seeded.
The method used in planting the
seed was that known to foresters as
1.-The seed spot method" Spots
about six feet apart each way were
prepared by pulverizing the earth
with a garden hoe. Seeds were then
dropped on these spots and lightly
pressed in the soil with the foot.
The f1ourishing condition Of the
young seedlings gives good reason
to expect a future growth of big
trees at this point. With protection
Of forests from fire there seems to
be no reason why the big trees should
disappear, even though scientists re-
gard them as survivals from a past
age, botanically speaking.

HOW TO ARRANGE GOOD MENU
Recorded Study CT Fooa Eien7ents is
Best Way fer Housew!fe to
Avoid Errors.

Every hCusekeeper should be per-
factly familiar with the three food
products. This is the foundation Of
menu-nai1ing. Proteids, carbohy-
drates and fats are the three divisions
into which all foods are cIassed. Pro-
teids are the muscle-builders and are
found IN meat, beans, peas, eggs and
nuts. Carbohydrates ere the starcbos
and are found N cereals, sugar and
starchy foods. These foods produce
fat and energy. Fats, such as oils,
butter, lard, etc, give heat TO the
body. y general knowledge OF these
food properties rs they are found in
various foods underlies successful
cooking as we'll as nienu-making.
4 good menu is well-balanced me-
I'll IN regard to these three food prin-
cipies. a practical study Of these
foods is the best way to avoid errors
in diet.
Do not serve several foods Of the
same competition at the same meal,
such as potatoes, rice and macaroni.
Do rot serve bean or pea soup with
roast meat, salmon salad and custard.
Try to vary the regular diet. If
heavy meal is served use light,
easily digested dessert.
Do not eat too much food cut Of
season. 1t is expensive. If meat is
left out of the dinner menu, plan to
serve soup made Of peas, nuts or
beans and a dessert made OF eggs.
to avoid serving several foods of
the same composition have in mind
small groups Of foods alike in compost
ton. The first and most important
group TO consider is that of proteid
food: Group onc-meats, cheese,
eggs, nuts, dried peas, beans.
Any OF these foods can be used for
meat, or If nuts, beans or peas are
used for pnree, meat can safely be
left Out Of the menu.
For every meal select food from
each OF the groups mentioned--proteid
carbohydrates, fats.
Add to this some fresh fruit or vege-
table three times daily and a good
beginning will be made toward pro-
ducicg a balanced aenu.-Woman' 5
