5000 MEALS FOR WORKERS
CHICAGO WOMEN HAVE TAKEN
MATTERS INTO OWN HANDS.
The Ballot IL a Mighty cIean.Up
Weapon" When Used on Filth
and Corruption.

The newly enfranchised women of
Chicago have set out to see that their
husbands get wholesome food when
they are Obliged to eat away from
home. "Clean food for men" is the
i1otto OF the campaign started by the
Women's City club. Chicago has 2.2O0
restaurants and bakeries. and a wholly
inadequate force Of inspectors. The
women want larger appropriation for
the health department, and q more ef
ficient control of the sanitary condi
tions In restaurants by the health
commissioners.

ton Of housekeeping conditions down.

rector Of the club. Many Of the
women in our city carefully see to 1t
that the food prepared in the home

fathers is served to them from kitch.
ends Immediately clean and sanitary.
The men Of the family are obliged to
eat many meals away from their
homes, SO the women should be as
interested in the conditions under
which food is prepared and served to
the men downtown. We should see to
it that our men have clean food at
all times. in the home and in the busy
loop district"
The idea that equal suffrage might
lead to sex war Is utterly foolish.
No sign of such war has ever ma.
terialiZed In any Of the states and
countries where women vote. The vast
majority of women love the men Of
their household, and wherever they
get the ballot they use 1t to help the
men and the children. as we'll as to
help their own sex. In Chicago their
first care was to secure better dis.
posal of the city's garbage. which was
killing Off babies like flies. Now they
have set out to keep their men from
being poisoned by food prepared un-
der unclean conditions. Olive Schrei.

SEN. STONE FOR SUFFRAGE
In Interview, United States Senator
Says His Wife Siienced His oppo-
sition to Equal Rights.

In Jefferson City, this week. Sen
ator william ]. Stone made two dec
larations of a personal nature to q
newspaper reporter. They are:
That he has been on the water
wagon for more than year. and that
he never expects to take another
drink of intoxicating liquor.
That his opposition to woman suf'
frage has been silenced by Mrs.
Stone, who Is an ardent suffragist.
Senator Stone said that he mounted
the water wagon on the advice of his
physician, and also that the limit Of
his personal indulgences Is three
cigars day.
"On this woman suffrage proposi.
tion, which is to be voted upon by
the people of Missouri this fall" Sen.
ator Stone said, Il have an interest
ing experience to relate.
Last winter | was reading to my
wife the story Of the hike Of the
militant suffragists from New York
to Washington. Small boys, 1t ap.
pears, had been pelting the suffragists
with snowballs as they tramped on to
Washington.
Mrs. Stone remarked that she
thought such methods of campaign
were ridiculous. asked her II she
did not think the whole suffrage prop
osition was ridiculous. These mill
tants In England and New York had
given me sort OF bad impression Of

She replied that she had been

made such an effective argument In
favor of suffrage that my opposition
has been entirely silsnced."

DESSERT RECIPES FOR MID
SUMMER

These tested desserts, delicious
and simple, with the added virtue
of GOODNESS, are suggested for the
midsummer days by Miss Cora E.
Binzel, instructor in home econom-
les, University of Wisconsin Ex-
tension division.
Watermelon Cups.-Remove the
rind and cut the melon into cubes ::
sprinkle with powdered sugar and
lemon juice; chill before serving
Apple Marshmallow.-1 cup par
ed apples, Acup blanched almonds.
l cup marshmalloWs cut in quart
1ers, 2 cups whipped cream. Com
bine and chill.
Mousse cup heavy cream,
salt spoon salt, 1l3 cup powdered
sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat
the cream, add the sugar, salt and
vanilla. Turn the mixture in tin
mold, adjust cover and seal with
strips of cheese cloth dipped in
melted lard or butter, or seal melt
ed pafaII1ne. 1hlS is to prevent
salt water from entering the can.
Pack the mold in salt and ice,us-
ing two parts ice to one part salt.
Allow two hours or more for che
freezing This is a delicious,
wholesome dessert, very easily
prepared and does not require an
ice cream freezer. For variety
flavor the cream with an ounce of
melted chocolate or one-third cup
maple syrup. During the winter
the mold may be packed in a mix
ture of snow and salt. Baking
powder or cocoa cans may be used
for molds. Fill with water and
test to see that they do not leak.
