DOMESTIC SCIENCE
Conducted by Mrs Alice Citchell Kirk

Men and women. boys and girls by
the hundred-yes, thousands. work in
stores. shops and factories of con-
gested districts in our cities. Most
of them patronize the downtown
lunchrooms in Overwhelming num-
bers, which represent all kinds from
the soda fountain, lunch counter and
"help-yourself" restaurants to hotels,
grills and clubs.
But when We speak of the average
boys's or girls luncheon we have no
vision of them sitting in the best
restaurants or clubs, but any place
where they can be filled for from
10 to % cents. They have only one
desire when lunch hour comes and
that is to satisfy what they call "hun-
GER" if they did this the food they
eat would he on an average-a piece
of pie. pickle, a dish of ice cream
and cup of coffee.
This may be varied with danger
Gus cream puffs and eclairs, lemon
meringue, Charlotte russo, impoyer-
shed looking breadstuffs and sand
witches made of very doubtful looking
filings. All of these are consumed
by our boys and girls in the down
town lunchrooms in such enormous
quantities that it is very evident
there is great need for better food
and better supervision.
Not Real Hunger.
When these boys and girls eat
this kind of food they are catering
TO pampered appetites and not to real
hunger. [ have often wondered when
| have watched the orders of these
boys and girls what they had to work
on for the afternoon, as no part OF
their bodies could possibly be rebuilt
on such kind of filings.
One office boy said: Il have Il
cents for luncheon. | buy bag OF
popcorn and spend the rest for pic.
ture shows" Would anyone say this
boy could possibly be up to his high
est efficiency for his employer in thu
afternoon on a bag of popcorn anC
picture shows?"
Our growing children. who have ;
natural craving for sweets. SHOULD
have safe and sane lunch-rooms pro
vided where they can be satisfied
with wholesome energy building food

Gems. Flowers, Honey, Grains
All Preserve the Origin
of Their Charm.

Just because this is so ingenious an
age and an age so remarkable for its
rand advance in science. we who live
in its inspiring atmosphere need an
occasional reminder that We do not
yet know everything, and that there
are on the slippery preciplces of unat-
tanned knowledge still above us many
awkward and difficult corners TO be
turned before we can approach the
snowy peak which sails away in the
sky like a cloud.

list of standing puzzles of science

sent this list here. with some added
remarks, simply for the sake of the
useful thought that it is calculated

TIMELY RECIPE

Strawberry Snow-Stewed straw
berries will do. Beat the whites
of three eggs to a stiff broth.
then slowly beat in four table
spoonfuls of crushed stewed berries.
Fresh fruit, crushed and sweetened,
will not give as rich a flavor but
may be improved by the addition of
a few drops of lemon juice.

NATURE SECRETS
DEFY SCIENTISTS

to inspire. Some of the statements
may be slightly misleading, or incom-
plete. but upon the whole they are
sufficiently true:
Lampbiack and Diamonds.
1.-The diamond. the hardest sub
stance known, and one Of the most
transparent, a marvel of beauty on
account of the subtle way in which
it plays with the colored elements of
light, is composed of pure carbon.
But lampblack is also pure carbon,
and charcoal is practically the same
thing If you put the diamond into
fire it swells up and becomes an ugly
mass. as black and Opaque as coke.
All its crystalline beauty is gone, and
you cannot turn it back again into a
gem. 1t is like body without a
soul.
u.-Rattlesnake poison and the
white of an egg contain the same
amounts of identically the same
chemical elements. But we cannot
turn common albumen into snake
venom.
ITI.-Coal gas and oil of roses each
consist of four atoms of hydrogen
combined with four atoms of carbon
The one stiles us with it's mephitic
odor. Here again nature has a Sc
cret which she imparts only to the
unthinking flower.
IV.-On of orange. lemon, cloves,
ginger and black pepper is in every
instance composed of sixteen atoms
OF hydrogen and ten of carbon, yet
each has its distinctive taste and
smell.
V.-Ammonia, strong Whit of
which will knock a man down, is
composed of hydrogen and nitrogen,
neither of which has an odor.
VI--Copper is practically odorless,
and so with zinc. but when they are
melted together, in certain proper
lions. the result is a metal brass,
which has a decided and Characters
tic smell.
Flowers Secret Kept.
In view of all this, it is no wonder
that the secrets of the flowers and
fruits escape us. Nobody will buy an
imitation of the altar of roses who
can get the pure product of nature,
distilled in the great field laboratories
that sweeten and beautify the
meadows.
The jams and conserves of apples
grapes, Strawberries and other fruits
that initiative chemistry puts up. with
a minimum of cost and a maximum
of price, cannot deceive the palate OF

these things with open joy at his

RALLY DAY 2

Many Of the Sunday schools and churches are holding a Rally Day, usually at some date in October. Slug gish pupils are rounded up by the use co1ored post cards.
 Every Sunday used to be Rally Sunday in the old time churches. But that was before automobiles were fn- vented. Many people now feel that God can only be worshfpped satfs- factori1y at rate Of 40 miles per hour.
 Then too. the danger of going to church in the rain is appreciated as never before Showery clouds con- stitute warning that should not be lightly viewed Of course nothing could be done in the churches during September. as the congregation had not recovered from summer heat
 October removes some of these ex- cuses and the congregations begin to fill up. The small boy must soon con- slider the approach of Christmas If a sense of fair play is cultivated, he can perhaps be made to feel that he should give at least two months in attendance in return for the. Christ mas present.

DEATH HAMMER IS ]. CHEW TO SPENCER

The evidence they seek is a. hammer with which. Spencer declares he killed two persons, man and a woman, who wese on their way from Round Lake to Fox Lake.
 Spencer suggested that it's discovery would be one test of his truthfu1ness.
 The hiding place of the death deal Ing hammer, according to Spencer, is the belfry of the Illinois Hotel, at Fox flake, where he was employed between April g and 30. Jack Diener, pro- prietor of the hotel, recalls the ham, merS and from other than official sources it has been learned that a body was found in Fox Lake about the time Spencer was there.
 Captain Halpin, of the police forces is stiIl convinced the confession is genuine.
 From seventy-ffve to eighty per cent of what Spencer has told me is the trutt,'' he said '"The rest is the result of an Imagination stimulated by drugs trying to recall what a. cloud ed brain has forgotten"
 Spencer will be taken to Du Page county, TIL, to stand trial for the nnz1r1 der of Mrs Allison-Rex He prob ably will not be held here more than a couple of days, according to the police.

Flames Instructed
 To Negotiate For
 Park Al Bulls Head
c. P. Moves Offers Contribution TOwards.Bm on Boards ley Park Golf Links.

At the meeting of the Park Board last night the resolution of the Com mon Council calling for the purchase of the triangular property at Main and Catherine streets and Washingto ave- nue for park purposes was presented and President George M Flames of the board was instructed to confer with the owners as to price and plan for the purchase. The matter was intro duced in the Common Council several weeks ago on a resolution from AL derman Thomas Reddy. The property in question is owned by the heirs of the John 1T. McMahon estate Soon after the resolution was introduced 1t was reported that the owners of the property were preparing plans to have a building erected there.
 Charles P. Moves, owner of the Star Farm, at TrumbuIl, just over the city line north of Beardsley park, has of ward the cost of erecting a building for the golf links in the northern sec tfon of the park. MT. Moves offer was considered last night. The board considered that a. building to contain lockers and other conveniences in con- nection with the golf links would cost 1.500. Members of the board thought others might be willing to add to MT. Moves offer. The Park Commission CTS will ask the Board of Apportfon- ment to grant them the balance need ed over the amount received by pop ular subscription for this building.
 Roger H. Williams, treasurer of the Crane Valve O., advocated that the plans to establish public tennis courts in the public parks be pushed to com 8p1etion- After discussion the board voted to Confer with the Board of Ap- portionment to see if there is any fund available for the purpose
