Smyth, one Of the most famous Of wo-

to combine both achievements ucces

As every knows, Ethel Smyth
was arrested not long ago on the charge
of being concerned in the attempt to
burn Lewis Harcourt's country house
at Neneham, Oxford. She has put the
woman's demand for the vote into mu-

a grotesque symphony Of su~rragettes,

FIGS AND DATES.

We are In the habit Of thinking thai
dates. figs and raisins are connections
tidbits and Injuries. They are, in a
measure, but contain much o value,
and are much more wholesome for
children to eat than too much OF the
s~o-called fresh fruit with which they
are provided. These dried fruits are
both nourishing and economical, as
they take the place Of more expensive
foods. Dates have a food value in
~calories of 1875 to a pound, while the
much used potato has only 295 to the
pound.
Stuffed Dates.-Boil rapidly with
out stirring. one-half a cup of granu-
lated sugar and q quarter Of a cup OF
milk. Keep the %granules from form
ing on the sides of the pan, by swab-
bling with water. When a soft ball
forms when dropped In cold water,
pour out on a platter and beat with
a wooden spoon until thick. Add a
quarter Of a cup Of shaved walnut or
pecan meats and mold quickly In a
sheet a quarter of an inch thick. Stone
dates and stuff with the mixture.
Date Dainties for Travsiera.-Stons
dates and stuff with a mixture OF nut
meats. candied ginger. candied pineap
pie, roasted almonds and fondant fla.
vored with lemon juice. Roll each one
In granulated sugar and pack In lay
ers In q tin box. covering each layer
with parafine paper. These will keep
indefinitely.
Fig erittle.-Melt q pound OF sugar
in a saucepan, stir In q half pound OF
figs chopped fine. and pour into a
creased pan a half-inch thick; cut In
strips and serve. Nuts may be added
with the figs, II desired.
Oriental Cream.-Soak q tablespoon
full Of gclatine in a fourth Of a cup OF
cold water. dissolve it in a fourth OF
a cup of hot milk; add q half cup Of
sugar, set into a pan Of cold water and
stir until 1t begins to thicken. Then
add the whites Of two eggs beaten
stiff, q third of a cup Of each Of figs
and dates chopped, and a half pint Of

LODGE FOR
OF NORWAY
Good Field for Expansion
Seen IN States Of At.
lanliC District

FARGO, July 1.-THE head lodge
Of the Sons Of Norway began a tedious
but important consideration Of pro-
posed amendments to the constitution
and bylaws; the business session Of
the Norwegia 81 egnsroSHRDLUUU
the Norwegian Singers of America
opened in the Fargo Commercian
club; the Daughters of Norway closed
their head lodge meeting, and the Nor
man-American congress resumed its
sessions at Concordia COLLIDE, Moor
head. The exercises Of the last named
were most interesting.
Professor J.. O. Hall of Columbia
university of New York, read a paper
on "UnDatriotism'; Professor 0. Ton
ming Of Concordia college spoke on
Norwegian National Traits as Repre-.
sented by Bjornson in His POEMS"
and J. Martin Hanson Of Minneapolis
told stories Of Norway. The last
speaker on the program was NJ. A.
Hellebust Of Alesund, Norway, who
spoke on "The Development of the
Norwegian Language"
New Lodge on the Atlantic.
The Sons of Norway authorized a
third district ladge to comprise the
subordinate ladges in the Atlantic
coast states. At present the order
has but eight lodges In New York
New Jersey and Pennsylvania, but
the eastern delegates indicate there
Is a fine field for expansion there and
| promise a great increase in member
| ship for the next biennial head lodge.
One of the questions vexing the
delegates is a proposition by the Chi
| cago lodges amending the constitu.
tional provision limiting the sick ben
eft to Sc a week. This is sought to
be changed to permit the subordinate
lodges to fix the rate of relief as they
may see fit.
No S%angerfest in 1914.
The singers probably will pass over
the biennial sangerfest due in 1914.
This is the year for the invasion Of
Norway, and in place of the honored
sangerfest a single concert will be
given in chicago prior to the depar-
ture for Norway. This is the recon-
mendation of the committee, and it is
approved by the singers, particularly
as there is no invitation from any city
to visit it in 1914.
Indications point to the election Of
Carlo A. Sperati of DEBORAH, Iowa, as
the musical director. He is a son Of
Signor Sperati, a native Italian, who
located in Norway, the Sousa in
America, and became a popular band
master. Mr.. Sperati is a Norwegian
Lutheran clergyman, but at present
is a professor in Luther college, De-
corah.
