of all kinds are far better than beef

Carrot Soup.-Wash young carrots.
scrape them, cut in pieces and cook
until tender mash and put through a
sieve; to two cups OF the carrot pulp
add a quart of milk Mix together
two tablespoonfuls each of -four and
butter season with salt and red pep
per, mix all together and when very
hot serve. A little onion juice is an
Improvement.
Oyster loaves.-Use a small roll for
each person and five oysters. Cut of
the tops of the rolls, scoop out the
inside, brush with butter inside and
out and put into a hot oven to brown.
Drain the oysters from their liquor,
scald the liquor and add the oysters
TO the boiling hot liquor When the
edges begin to ruffle remove them,
season with salt, pepper and butter
and tablespoonful of cream for each
roll. Fill the shells with the oysters
and serve hot. at once. Crab meat Is
put up nowadays so that the flavor
is very delicate and the miner'in the
far off camp may as easily favor his
appetite with the delicacy as the cpl
cure in the high-priced hotel.
Surprise Snowballs.-Peel FIVE even
sized apples after coring with the
corer. Into one end put sugar. little
nutmeg and butter and close the other
side In the same way. Place half
cupful of boiled rice on a small pud-
ding cloth, spread 1t and wrap the APP
pie In 1t, tie and when the FIVE are
ready drop into boiling water and cook
for three-quarters OF an hour or until
the apple Is cooked. Take off the
cloths carefully and drop a spoonful
OF currant jelly on each and serve
with sweetened cream. This makes
most wholesome dessert for children.
Raisins may be added to the apple
stuffing II new flavor is desired.

THE WOMAN IN THE FIELD
The Farm Woman Needs Relief
More Than Her City Sister.
BY Peter s, afford.
Lecturer National Ia lners' Union


Much has been said and more writ

and behind tAe counter, but how about
the woman who works in the field?
want to say few words in her be-
half. l regret a necessity that COM
pels woman to work for a livelihood,
ald l favor not only shortening her

labor entirely. | crave for society
that high standard of excellence where
the home is womans throne and her
life is devoted to molding the char

want, greed and misfortune prevail in

necessity. will work. and perhaps
they Will work at ole task or another
as many hours per day as they please.
We may pity the weak and admire
the strong in their struggle, but the
farm woman is entitled to her share
of sympathy and reward.
All t1ust Toll.
The labor problem, as relates to
men, is a most veNatious one, and
when we apply ii to women it becomes
more seriously complicated. We will
always have to york unless some po-
itical genius can put a law on the
statute book that will enable us to
live without Tabor. SO long as every
person must meet toll face 20 face. the

uries and less to be thankful for than
women who live in the town, but she
tolls on, model OF consistency, pa
tience and womanly devotion. Ger
tainly she should be the first to be

The Real Labor Problem Is on the
Farm.
The great dailies with flaming head
lines deplore the lot of women who
toll in the cities, the city pulpit
thunders with sympathy for her, and
the legislators crate in her behalf
but not a line is written, a word said
or a speech delivered in the interest
of the million women who labor on
the farm. Where one woman works
in the cities in this state, there are a
hundred mothers toiling in the field,
and no mention is made of it. Is the
woman in the city entitled to any
more consideration than the woman
on the farm? l contend that she is
not. The city woman may be more
easily restrained by legislation, and
she may have a more attentive au
dience when she cries aloud, but the
real labor problem, insofar as it re-
lates to women and children, is on
the farm-where mother and child,
welding the hoe and gathering the
harvest, toll day in and day out with

\ BUSY YEAR FOR THE REAL
INVESTOR.
(6y John NJ. Oskisol

Wy JoIlu H. oSNlSOU.
When the Spectator is idle the real
with it's record OF falling markets. its
exaggerated concern over IL few such
incidents as the bankruptcy of the
Frisco and tho passing of the New
Haven dividend. illustrates the truth
of that axiom.
II State of PENNSYLVANIA has, per
llaps, more rcnl investors Of the level
headed type than any other. An ac-
count of what they have done in tho
way of increasing their holdings of
securities during the past year came
to ME the other day. The report was
othcial--fronl the auditor generals of
tlce.
I learned that the total assessed
personal property in Pennsylvania
400. 900. 600. Chat was s76. 4O6.sS7
more than II : year before.
Further, ] learned that the present
law taxing personal property in Penn.
sylvania has been in eject for TWEEN
ty-four years; and in that time the
average yearly increase has been
S35.647.72S. So when Wall street was
wailing in the market place. when fl
dieting ruin for the industries Of the
country through unfriendly leg:sla-
ton, and when the railroads were
protesting that they were headed for
bankruptcy if they were not given
rate increases. the most level-headed
and successful investors in the coun-
try were more than doubling their
usual addition to holdings.
And what is shown by the personal
tax law o: Pennsylvania to have taxi
en- place in hat state has doubtless
been paralleled in other states. While
the SPECTATORS have wondered des-
pondently where all the buyers and
sellers have hidden the real investors
have been quietly picking up securi-
ties at reasonable prices.
Not actual wealth. but paper FOR
tunes nave suffered through the stag
nation which has fallen upon the
stock markets. 1t is possible that
the particular bond you own or the
particular ten shares Of stock which
stand in your name. have lost a GER
tain proportion Of quoted value.
The security chosen by the levcl-
headed. sane investor, which has been
paid for and put away, retains its in
trinsic value-continues to pay. inter-
est and dividends. For it il based ON
the growth ef the country. which goee
