That civic life and clubdom have not deprived the world of it's house wives was demonstrated Wednesday afternoon when members of the Glendale Woman's club gave prac- tical illustrations of the use of va cuum cleaners and electric washing machines.
 Simplifying household manage ment was not merely discussed theo- retically but the actual work was put in effect and successfully ac- compiished. Mrs. Charles Cohenour cleaned a rug as well as a profes- sional and Mrs C. H. Tinker washed linens with a result that rivaled a French laundry. They did not stop at that, they boned chicken and made delicious doughnuts and cof- fee that were served the members at the close of the meeting.
 Mrs. Tinker is chairman of the domestic science department under the auspices of which the program was presented. In response to the roll call a timely household hint was given Under the caption of Little

Although few events had been an nounced previously for last week, social life was far from being in d state of desuetude for in the absence of large affairs there were many that were informal and filled with the spirit of genuine pleasure. The Country Clubs held their own in importance and claimed the attention of the smart set on several occa- sions while the Stevenson-Griffin wedding on Wednesday evening was one of the prettiest of autumn func- tions
 An event of Thursday of more than ordinary interest was an attractive luncheon over which Mrs. Richard F. Sloan presided. complimentary to the Thomas R MarshaHs The Sloan residence on North Central avenue was fragrant with countless roses and an immense cluster in an ar tistic jardiniere formed the tables centerpiece Around this ornament were scattered rose buds in care fully graceful profusion.

Mrs. William M Seabury, Mrs. w. C. Foster. Mrs. Henry D. Ross, and Miss Anna Archer.
 It is quite probable that Mrs. Ceilings will entertain for Mrs. Mar shall and that the date of the event will be set this afternoon when she and MT. Ceilings will motor to Scottsdale to call informally on the vice president and his wife. It will be remembered that it was Mrs. Ceilings who first gave Phoenix SO ciety the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Marshall and since her visit three years ago, each season has been the honored guest at an enjoyable event at the hospitable Ceilings house

and raise to sitting posture. You
can do this by fiinging the arms in a
half circle to the knees then to the
ankles, each time drawing yourself to
a sitting posture. Lie on abdomen,
your brow resting on folded arm;
slowly raise the arms, head and chest
from the floor from one to six inches.
Let the arms, head and chest resume
former position; from one to twenty
times. Place left arm to back, raise
right as high as you can, bending
body back face up. Then try to bend
body forward so you can touch floor
without bending the knees. Do the
same with right arm to the back.

GLUCOSE.
{ Requested.)

Requested.
Yes, it is true that glucose has a
bad name given by those who do not
understand its elements and it's
effects.
Many people believe it to be an
artificial product, but that is not so.
It is the chief constituent of honey
and enters largely into the sweet part
of fruits.
Glucose or corn syrup is made by
the action of dilute solution upon
corn flour combined with the action
of steam and subjected to great pres
sure.
1t is said that no great economy
can be secured in its use by manu-
factors, as it makes less jelly or syrup
than the cane product for which it is
substituted. There can be no QueS-
ton as to it's food value, belonging as
it does to the class known as carbon
hydrates. 1t contains three princi
pies, dextrose and maltrose which are
sugars, and dextrim which is half way
between starch and sugar. The latter,
however, is converted into sugar as
soon as combined with the saliva,
pancreas and intestional secretions.
Its production is more simple than
that of sugar.

RHUBARB.

AS the warm days of spring pass by
every housekeeper keeps an eye on the
rhubarb plants. Perhaps no other
production of the garden is more
welcome when ready for use.
Rhubarb is really vegetable used
as fruit and is certainly a splendid
spring food.
We find that it has been used in
China since 2700 B. c., and up to
the 18th century was an article OF
commerce prepared for use as a drug.
AS medicine it is purgative, and
given in small doses improves the APP
petite and promotes digestion. 1t
also is useful in correcting disorders
of the hillary ducts and the duo
denum.
1t has subsequent astringent effect
owing to the presence of heotanic
acid which may be overcome by using
an alkali with it.
The best variety to use as fruit is
the large one with red stalks. 1t
should be used as soon as possible
after cutting if the best flavor is to
be secured. When the pink skin is
tender it need not be removed.
One is apt to say or think that any
one can cook rhubarb. 1t is not
always so, and it is no wonder that
the family "don't like rubarb. -
There is right way to this as in other
things. One reason why the southern
women are such noted cooks is be-
cause they do not slight the details.
Find out how your family like it.
One woman writes to cut it into inch
pieces, mash little to start the Juice,

UNANSWERED.

Unanswered yeti the prayers your
lips have pleaded
In agony of heart these many years?
Does faith begin to fail? Is hope de-
parting?
And think you all in vain those fall
ing tears?
Say not the Father hath not heard
your prayer,
You shall have your desire sometime
somewhere.
Unanswered yet! Though when you
first presented
This one petition at your Father
throne,
1t seemed you could not wait the time
of asking,
SO urgent was your heart to make it
known;
Though years have passed since then,
do not despair
The Lord will answer you sometime
somewhere.
Unanswered yeti Nay do not say
ungranted-
Perhaps your work is not yet wholly
done;
The work began when your first prayer
was uttered;
And God will finish what He has be-
gun,
If you will keep the incense burning
there,
His glory you shall see sometime -
somewhere.

LASSITUDE.

We have all experienced that queer
little ailment called "spring fever"
We have all forced ourselves through
cleaning up day and, at the close,
found we had accomplished but very
little in spite of the hard work. One
can not "turn off, much when they
are too tired to make the right move
ment with their hands or to spend a
little thought to make every one count.
Let the food be lighter. Eat less
meat and sweet things. The system
does not require heat producers.
Take, instead, more fruit, fruit juices.
water, salads and give the good old
dandelion green's place on your table
as often as you can possibly do so or
take good bath, a plunge, il you
can; a sponge, if you must Every
day is not too often, 1t will pay you
to do SO.
Pay attention to your bedroom
windows. Get them open and let
them stay so. No one ever died from
fresh air. Draughts can be prevented
with little effort And in addition to
these precautions give the following
exercises fair trial. They will re-
auire only ten minutes each morning.
Who would not take ten minutes
time to Danish the lassitude of spring?
Sit on a chair near open window.
You will soon be warm enough. Move
one foot from ankle left to right,
right to left, up and down. First
with right foot, then the left, then
together. Lie on the hard floor on
the back; grasp knees with the hands

Girls Skull Fractured.

Rutland, Jan. 0 .-Miss Mildred Hay
ward of ~Cuttingsville was probably fa-
tally injured this evening when she was
thrown from a sleigh in a runaway acct
dent. Miss Hayward and Miss Sophia
Rhodes were riding in a delivery sleigh
driven by Briton Shippey. At the head
of Church street the animal became
frightened at some children sliding and,
taking the bit in his teeth, started on a
wild dash. AT the corner of Williams
and Church streets the horse attempted
to turn but a runner struck an obstacle
and the three were thrown out, Miss
Hayward's head striking against a tele-
graph pole. She was carried into a
house and after receiving medical at
tention was removed in an unconscious
condition to the Rutland city hospital.
Later she recovered consciousness. An
examination revealed a conclusion OF
the brain and a severe scalp wound.

prepared and printed for the use of the
cooking class of the Nurses Training
School of the Government Hospital for

general interest that arrangements
have been made for the sale of the
pamphlet by the superintendent of
Documents, Government Printing

a copy. While the receipts in this
pamphlet were compiled primarily for
the sick, they are of interest to all
persons desiring simple and wholesome

range, including soups, fish, oysters,
eggs, steaks, chops, salads, desserts
and beverages.
