PLEADS BROTHERHOOD

Miss Gail Wilson, noted sociol-
ogist and lecturer, in recent ad-
dress before the Chicago Theosophl-
cal Society; had tins to say about
men behind prison walls:
IF universal brotherhood is a
fact, the men behind prison walls
are our social equals; their sin is our
sin.
The old point of view. in the
treatment of thesI breaker, was in
all cases revengefhl, where the Of
tense was against property orhuman
life. A new point of view Is now
demanding that in the affliction OF
penalties for law violators. the time
of sentence, and place of detention
be left to competent persons who
are trained to decide when the Of
fender may safely be restored to
society.
1t is the disgrace Of the twentieth
century that we still have the death
penalty. Isn't it strange that soci-
ETY. should relentlessly pursue selec-
ted specimens of wrongdoers. and yet
allow more than 100000 children
to toll long hours that the profit
system may be continued in our
country; that impure food, tubercu-
lar milk and sweat-shop clothing
may spread disease broadcast, 50
that there may he more dividends
for the few; and that there should
be SO little concern about these
respectable wholesale murders?
Crime is a disease in any comun-
ity. The judge on the bench shares
with the criminal his crime. HUI
manity is one. What stains part
stains ALL" concluded the speaker

JENNIE LIND sALUTEs THE FLAG

There is pretty story told of the
honor Jennie Lind once paid to the
American flag. |; was when she
was In New York more than sixty
years ago. The frigate St. Law
renee had just returned from a cruise
and the midshipmen went to hear
the Swedish nightingale sing at
Castle Garden theater, and the next
day called on her in body. Their
enthusiasm and her graciousness
coon brought about visit to the
ship and the acceptance of lunch
con rendered her. When about to
leave the ship she looked up at the
stars and stripes and said:
/ wish to salute your flag"
So, standing on the gangway, she
sang The Star-Spangled Banner"
Silently from all over the ship men
gathered with uncovered heads, un-
til the ships family were all assem-
bled on deck. Nor were they her
only audience, for borne upon the
still air her song had been heard by
many other vessels near by, and
when the wondrous voice ceased
steamers blew their whistle and ex-
ultant cheers rose from all sides,
filling the harbor with their tribute
of applause for tie beloved artist
and of loyal reverence for the flag
she had so beautifully saluted.--
Pioneer.

TIMES HAVE CHANGED

DR.. w. J. dickson. the noted ex-
pert in charge of the psychopathic
department of the Chicago city
court, where prisoners are classified
according to mental capacity. says
the time is not far distant when all
courts will have scientists advise as
to the disposition of accused per-
sons.
Times have changed, said the
scientist recently. Five years ago
the culprit would have been judged
by law alone. Today more scien-
tific treatment of offenders-one can
not class them all as criminals-pre-
walls; the humanitarian treatment,
which considers the mental state of
the person charged with crime, the
causes, organic, social or whatever
they are of this state, and judgment
is rendered accordingly"
DR.. Hickson's opinion was inspir-
ed by the action of the grand jury
in not returning an indictment
against young woman college stu
dent and alleged thief. Upon her
arrest DR.. Hickson examined her
and reported her unable to distin-
guish between right and wrong.
The longer we work the more
we find that there are not nearly as
many born criminals as would seem.
For what can one expect of these
wrong-doers, who, if they had been
given better heritage of health,
cleaner surroundings. better food,
more moral supervision of their re-
creations, etc., would have been as
able. as lawabiding as the best of
citizens" concluded the expert .-Ex.

the sentence. This is not because
the Judge does not believe that drink
causes crime, but because he has no
way OF knowing whether the prison
er's assertion is true or false. He
may be reasonably sure that the man
was drunk, but, except in very
few instances. he has no way of
finding out whether the prisoner be-
came drunk willfully, or that he is
really slave to liquor aud unable
to'resist temptation. We DO not be-
lleve that there is a humane Judge
III America who would not mitigate
the sentence were he positive that
the offender was liquor slave.
1t is plain, and we say, that the
only man who can truthfully claim
that liquor placed him in prison, Is
the man who is absolutely devoid of
the power to resist and overcome
temptation.
sEducation to strong drink evils,
imprisonment and disgrace, will not
save him from it's clutches. He has
already been taught by the school of
experience-and experience il a
dear teacher-and these teachings
have failed to save him. If he is to
be: saved he must save himself. He
mist do it by constant alertness; by
fighting the demon every instant.
and never must he believe that he
has conquered alcohol. for, il the
hour that he becomes exhultant and
oYer-confident. the demon that sleeps
but never dies will arise in over
peweripg force, and once again will
the unfortunate man awaken TO find
himself in the gutter-and each sue
cessiye fall places the victory fur
ther fl ON his attainment.
We have had the experience and
kaow what the man who tries to
throw off the yoke of alcoholic
bondage has to 90 through. We
have fought it morning, noon aud
night; many times have we ccngrat-
ulated ourself on what we supposed
victory. Then came temptation:
Everything seemed to go wrong; we
were all out OF sorts; we wanted
something and didn't know what it
was-why not try one little Rock
add Rye" and see if ii wouldn't clear
tile brain and enable us to think
clearly? Oh, Alcohol, thou art a
s,sbtle villain! But--thou hast been
weighed in the EalaDce and found
wanting. Thy days are numbered,
and every year thy dominion grows
smaller and smaller and. some day,
thou shalt be banished from the face
of the earth.

LIGHT HOUSEKEEPING.

nELLA PHILLIPS, Of Balboa, CAL,
y is an expert on light housekeeping
She says:
"Having 1ight-housekeeped' in vari
GUS places in California, often with
limited facilities at my command, and
knowing there are many women doing
likewise, I thought perhaps some of
my experiences might be helpful. In
most instances the stoves provided for
cooking were either oil or gas without
ovens; and when in the course of time
the desire for some home e-made bread or
cake assailed me, I cast about for some
means Of gratifying it. 1t was then
that discovered the manifold use of a
common brick. I found that this brick,
placed over one of the holes Of the gas
plate, would bake potatoes beautifully
if they were put on top of it and COW
cred with pan or pail large enough
to slip down over the brick. On this
same brick / baked corn bread, putting
it in a shallow granite pan, and cover
ing it as did the potatoes. 1t soon
baked through thoroughly, but was not
brown on top, SO I removed the cover
ing, placed a creased pie tin over the
top-a plate will do-and inverted the
bread until it was brown on the top
side. The bread was really quite good.
] even baked biscuits in this way, and
though not quite SO good as if baked in
an oven, they were welcome relief
from long siege of bakers stuff. I
found that must be careful not to
have the gas burner too hot.
II lave also baked all of the above
mentioned articles and even cake on an
oil heater, dispensing with the brick
which is necessary when using gas be-
cause Of its greater heat-and using
the covering previously mentioned.
Cake dough, made thinner and less rich
than ordinary dough, can be baked
exactly as griddle cakes, and becomes
quite light and fluffy. The pan should
not be as hot as for ordinary griddle
cakes. Such cakes are very good if
eaten Immediately.

The Screened Farmhouse Porch.

The large screened porch which con-
meets with the kitchen is almost indis-
pensable now that its advantages are
better known. If large enough it may
be divided into apartments where wash
ing and ironing may be done, where
most of the meals may be served dur
ing the summer months, sleeping
porch, sitting porch, porch for stor-
ing perishable food as butter, milk,
meat and many other things. Screened
apartments are becoming more and
more common in both city and county.

Of fashions and this
summer there must be
some sort Of flare over
the hips if they are to
be truly smart. This one
is designed for small
women as well as for
young girls and is made
with flounces that pro-
dnce the needed effect
while they do not add
any considerable weight.
The raglan sleeves are

ly comfortable, altho-
gether the suit is an ex-
tremely practical one as
well as in the height of
style. In the picture it
is made from silk serge
and the silks that are
especially made for salt
water use are the fav-
orite materials and most
satisfactory ones, but
there are always such
stand-byes as mohair
and light weight serge
to be depended upon.
Quiet, conservative col
ors, such as black, dark
blue and brown, are apt
to be the favorite ones,
but this summer the pre-
vailing note of bright
color frequently is found
in the trimming. In this
instance the suit is

Choice of Kitchen Utensils.

Selection of kitchen utensils is large
ly matter of taste. The very best of
enameled ware will chip. But an ar

make an attractive ',itchen. Then there
is a green and white ware, an inexpen-
sive gray enamel and aluminium. The
latter has been found satisfactory, even
though it is a bit more costly.
