"MOvlES" FOR THE CHINESE
New Idea That May Mean a Great
Deal in the Development Of the
Race and Country.

Students Of race development in the
far east may well feel a strictly non
commercial interest in the experiment
involved in the establishment of a
heavily capitalized company in Hong
kong to produce in cities and larger
towns of China motion-picture shows
with explanations in the vernacular.
How much such shows may mean to
the education of the Cinnamon can
only be guessed by the Occidental.
That the isolation of China from the
worlds growth, the real ignorance Of
the Chinese masses as to all things
outside their own land, are respon-
sible for most of the conditions that
cause peril to the new republic from
foreign powers is evident enough to
any one who cares to think.
The quickness of the Chinese mind
is not doubted. Perhaps there is no
race on earth that is better qualified
to grasp what the movies" have to
offer. The panorama without speech
has a peculiar appeal to the Celes-
tials. A few years with the films that
show the life, the drama, the interests
Of Caucasion races may do more to
create a new China than any political
changes at Pekin. Education has to
be sugar-coated everywhere. The
movies should have great future
in China.

FORCED TO STERN MEASURES
Indignant Sunday School Scholar Felt

Religious instruction must be judi

adult friend of the small Chicago
maiden who suffered in its behalf.
The little girl had accompanied

being her first experience of the kind.

tied the sad fact that Millie, her re-

"Why did you do that?" Millie was

SOUPS, HOT AND COLD.

The following Is a favorite German
soup which can be taken hot in win
ter and cold in summer.
Bread Soup.-Take crusts of rye
bread. cover with water and, when
soft, strain and put the liquid back
over the fire with a little butter, a
handful of dried currants. sugar to
taste, a piece of stick cinnamon and
a dash of salt. A little vinegar or
lemon juice is often added. The soup
should be but slightly thickened.
Almond Soup.-Scald and blanch a
quarter of a pound of almonds, pound
until fine and add them to a pint of
fresh milk; press through a sieve, re-
heat, sweeten, add the juice of an or
ange and serve cold.
Carrot Soup.-Scrape and slice thin
a pint of carrots, cook until tender
with a stalk of celery and a sliced
green pepper. Remove the peppers
and put the carrots through a sieve.
Mix together two tablespoonfuls of
butter and two of flour, cook and add
to pint of milk. Cook until smooth.
Add the carrot, season with salt, pep
per and nutmeg, and add a little
cream.
Corn and Pea Soup.-Take one cup
full each of corn and peas, the canned
variety will do. Rub the peas through
a sieve and heat the corn until thor
oughly hot. Take three tablespoon
fuls of nut butter, add gradually to a
cupful of boiling water, season to taste
and add to the corn and peas.

MEALS FOR A DAY.

For a good breakfast there is moth
ing more wholesome than a bit OF
fruit; half Of grape fruit or or
ange or an apple TO make a good be-
ginning.
During the cold weather, after a
small dish of oatmeal well cooked and
served with good top milk or thin
cream, two or three griddle cakes, a
piece of bacon or small ball of sau-
sage and a cup Of coffee will make
a satisfying meal for a busy, active
person.
If the MONDAY meal is dinner, we
will have good soup of some kind,
either a clear broth with rice or a
vegetable soup. For the meat dish try
a pot roast with prunes. 1t is very
common, but it is very good.
Add a pound of well washed prunes
to the meat while cooking, and remove
them and add a little seasoned vinegar
to them, and serve with the meat.
For a vegetable that is nice to serve
with the roast, onions stuffed with
bread crumbs and nuts and basted
while cooking with butter and water
A simple salad of lettuce with
French dressing or little chopped
apple and celery served on lettuce
makes a good substantial salad.
Apple pie and cheese, the cheese
grated and sprinkled over the top Of
the pie and set in the oven 20 melt,
is a good dessert.
If one desires a simple one that is
more easily prepared, there is always
canned fruit and small cakes and
cookies, which, with a cup of tea, is a
dessert nice enough for anybody.
Emergency Pudding.-Toast stale
cake, spread with preserves and put
slices together in the form of sand
wiches. Top with favored and sweet
ened whipped cream; dot with bits Of
jelly and serve.
Cottage cheese, apple sauce and hot
ginger bread is another good combi.
nation for supper or a luncheon.

RUSH TO SECURE THE CROSS
Christmas Ceremonies That Mark the
Celebration in Russia and the
Balkan States.

The Russian Christmas falls on
January 7. On that day St. Petersburg
celebrates the birth of Christ by bless
ing the River Neva. A procession of
priests, followed by a huge crowd,
march to the river, the ice is broken,
and cross dipped in the water. In
spite of the intense cold, often many
degrees below zerol piously-inclined
persons rush into the river to bathe
themselves in the sanctified water.
A similar Christmas ceremony is en-.
acted in those Roumanian towns which
lie on the Danube, but in this case the
people are dressed to represent vari-
GUS biblical characters, such as Herod.
Pontius PLATE, etc, and the cross is
not merely dipped, but flung into the
water. Then follows terrific rush to
secure the blessed emblem-a rush so
fearful that often lives are lost, for it
is firmly believed that its possession
will bring the owner good fortune not
only for the year. but for the rest of
his life.

New Germ Scare.

Quite panic is spreading through
out bridge whist circles over the dis
covery in London that playing cards
are great distributors of germs. Micro
scopic tests of cards used during an
afternoon, it is said, reveal the pres
ence of millions of malignant bacilli--
enough, if taken internally, to kill OFF
an entire community. 1t would be
financially disastrous to use a brand
new deck for every deal, and the use
of camphor counters as a means of
sterilization is suggested OF course,
no hostess would think of producing a
soiled pack of cards, but after a few
deals and shuffies you can easily see
the germ possibilities for yourself.

COMMON EVERY DAY FOODS.

The common dishes which are pre-
pared every day are those which we
delight to vary, in order to appeal to
the appetite.
Cheese is so common upon our Ia
bles, but | wonder II we realize its
food value Nearly every one has an
idea that cheese is indigestible, but
the government reports, which are
based upon many experiments, show
us that it is not, as supposed, hard 70
digest, for it is proved to be as easily
digested as meat and has twice its
muscle-making value.
An ounce of cheese is equivalent in
nutritive value to one egg, two ounces
of meat or a glass of milk.
Cheese is admirably adapted for all
races, all climates and conditions, and
with a hard cracker and bit of fruit
will supply all the sustenance needed
to give a we'll balanced ration.
Cheese is at it's best uncooked,
though we like the variety which it
gives in combination with other foods.
One needs to remember that cheese
is a very rich, condensed food, and
in planning dishes in which it is used
the fat of other foods should be elm
mated.
Corn and Cheese Souffle.-Into ta-
blespoonful of melted butter turn two
cups of grated cheese, then add a
fourth of cup Of fresh grated corn,
or the canned will do; stir for a mo-
ment and add two egg yolks and half
cup of tomato which has been put
through a sieve; add a chopped red
pepper, salt and paprika. Toast bread
on one side, rub the untoasted side
with the cut side of a Glove of garlic.
Pour the cooked mixture over the un'
toasted side of the bread. and serve
at once.
Nut and Cheese SaIad.-Cook togeth'
er a tablespoonful of grated onion
with a tablespoonful Of butter; add
a little water and cook until the onion
is tender. Mix we'll cupful each OF
bread crumbs, grated cheese and nuts
-walnuts, or any kind desired. Add
the cooked onion, moisten with more
water if needed, and put into baking
dish to brown.
Cheese with macaroni as an escal
loped dish is another very good way
of serving cheese. 1t is also good
combined with rice.
When making a brown betty, use
cheese instead of butter with the
bread crumbs.

CoufaGe.

The most indispensable and valuable
asset for the conduct of life is courage
courage to endure, courage to con-
struct and reconstruct, courage to go
on. Without these how shall we do
more than drag out miserable exist
ence, moving from place to place, like
t1amps and beggars, living on the
doles fate offers us as we slouch along
unprecedented ways? Could there
be a better prayer for the opening
year than this? Give us courage to
be masters of ourselves, courage to
swim against the stream, courage t.
drown, when our due time is come,
with serene hearts and quiet faith in
God" When that prayer is answered,
living deserves song and dying be-
comes an episode in the history of a
man. If religion did not more than
make this forward looking courage
possible, it would deserve our rever-
ence and pursuit. Transcript

passage in the senate seems
assured, although another fight
will be made there by the pro-
ponents of district school supervision
only. II provides for the administra-
tion Of rural and village schools in
future by a county boards of educa-
ton. The county board is to be elected
by the presidents of the various local
boards of education as now existent.
The county board elects a county su-
perintendent, who is to have supervis.
ory charge of all school matters in
the county. The county board also
divides the county into school dis
tricts and over each district there is
is to be superintendent elected by
the boards Of education in the dis
trict. This is briefly the framework
of the new school supervision system.
State Banks In Federal Plan.
The banking bill went through the
house after some heated discussion.
1t permits state banks to participate
in the new federal currency scheme.
A provision permitting banks to act
as executors and trustees was stricken
out. The senate concurred with the
house in appropriating 100000 for
the Ohio exhibit at the Panama-Pa-
cific exposition in 1915, and passed
three other bills, to require agricul-
ture to be taught in all rural and viii
lage schools, to admit graduates of
first grade high schools to state sup
ported universities and colleges with
out further examination. and to
broaden the scope of schools as social
centers.

Attorney General Hogan held the

WAS NOT FOR GENERAL USE
Postoffice, When First Established,
Meant Only to Carry Official
Correspondence.

The postofflce was first established
for the principal, and in some coun-
tries for the exclusive purpose of car
rying official correspondence by mail.
Later, in France, Great Britain, and
the United States, because Of the
great expansion and commercialization

claimed the privilege as early as 1860,
1t was abolished in Great Britain,
however, by the passage of Rowland's
cheap postage measure in 1889. In
the United States the first appearance
of the franking privilege is traceable
to the action of the continental con-
gress assuming control of the postof
fee in January, 1776. 1t is interesting
to learn that it was then granted to
all private soldiers actually in service
for all letters they might write or
that might be written TO them. In
the early years of the United States
government the privilege was granted
widely, but it soon became necessary
to restrict it. An act of March g.
1845, limited the privilege to the presi-
dent, the vice-president, members and
delegates in congress, the third as
sistant postmaster general, and all
postmasters. Other offices we're d.
rected to keep quarterly accounts Of
postage.

Frauds" according to the state au-
ditors report to Republican members
of the assembly. Detective Harry
Bradbury received more than $4,000
as salary and expenses, and w. G..
Pengelly, a Columbus handwriting ex-
pert, got $50 a day for 13 days. Va
rious other expenditures were made.
Auto Bill Passed.
BY vote of 20 to 80 the house
rejected, 70 to 80, the Conover amend
ment to the new automobile bill that
would divide the proceeds of the auto
taxes equally among the counties Of
the state. Democrats in the rural
counties voted with their party, al
though their personal desires would
have inclined them to the Conover
change. The bill was then passed.
To change the auto fees themselves
another governors message and an
other bill will be necessary.
Lowry Bill Is Passed.
1--WE have come out of the jungle"
said Speaker of the House Charles l..
Swain, in referring to the adminstra-
tion's success in putting through .the
house the Lowry bill providing county
supervision of schools. The Lowry
bill is by far the most important of
the dozen bills comprising the ad-
ministration school program.
Price for Pen Site.
State officials question very much
whether, in the event Of second
trial, 1t could get much better ver-
dict than was given by the Madison
county jury that fixed $40 as the
price the state should pay for the pen
itentiary site tentatively selected in
that county. The state officials
would not have objected If the price
had been put at $125. The owner of
the land is so popular in the county
that the officials are inclined to think
that a second trial would make little
change in the price.
