THE POET OF THE KUSKOKWIM

The Kuskokwim is a great and wonder full country. There are raised the most wonderful crops, the sun shines perpetu- ally, the winters are mild and the summers glorious Nature has provided for the wants Of man in the most lavish manner and these can be procured with the mini mum of effort There are also located the most wonderful placer mines and the rich est quartz lodes on Gods footstool All ma ture smiles on man and invites him to come and freely partake of its bountios. All these things we know because residents of that farfamcd section have told us SO It is with wonder and chagrin, therefore that we learn that there are drawbacks even in that wonderful land of promise, and that in land whose residents were all supposed to be booster, there is at least one croaker.
 We have been handed for publication the following touching poem, and are moved to reproduce it not so much for its poetic beauties, which will be readily observable as for the lesson it teaches that even in earthly p&radiscs such as the Nu>kokwjm mans lot is not without its trials and draw backs. The poem is dedicated to Abe Appel and is as fellows:

Soak one heaping tablespoonful Of
granulated gelatine in our-fourth cup of
cold water for ten minutes. Dissolve 1t
in one cup Of boiling water. add a cup
Of sugar and a quarter cup of lemon

Strawberries, this Is indeed a delicious
dessert. It is better to leave the pud-
ding uncolored In that case. as the white

FAMOUS WOMAN-HER BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
PRINCESS MARIE JOSE AND RoSAMoND HILL
By MARY MARSHALL

Rosamond Hill. ~ English educational
reformer. was born in England eighty
nine years ago today. Her father was q
prominent English lawyer and prison re-
former. and as n girl Rosamond had
every opportunity to study the social and
educational questions that were vexing
England three-quarters of a century ago.
She was very well educated and through
her father came into association with
men and women of prominence Among
the close friends of the Hill family was
the novelist Thackeray.
II was not till Rosamond Hill was
twenty-six that the incident occurred
that brought her to celebrity. At that
time she was living for a time in Bristol.
England, and while there she heard Of
the educational reformer, Mary Carpen-
ter. who had established the st James
Back Ragged School" St. James Back
was the name of a filthy lane in the
city Of Bristol where the poor and mis-
cradle wrecks Of humanity Of Bristol
were segregated comparatively unknown
to their better-to-do neighbors. Miss
Carpenter had shown great pluck in es-
tablishing a charity or ragged" school
In this neighborhood.
Miss Hill was much interested in the
school and proposed to Miss Carpenter
that she assist her in the school. After
a little time spent among the school chill
dren Miss Hill came to the conclusion
that II was housework and hygiene rath-
er than arithmetic and reading that these
poor children needed most to be taught
and through her efforts the course Of
study OF the school was made more prac-
teal
The Washington herald., 1914-08-04

This success at Bristol showed Miss Hill
that much benefit could be given to the
poor Of England through education, an
the rest OF her life the subject Of educa-
tionai reform was uppermost in her mind.
But Miss Hill was called away from her
educational reforms by her father, who
needed her as his private secretary, and
with him she visited prisons and free
schools throughout the continent Of Eu-
rope.
In 1873 Miss Hill was elected TO the
school board of London and she fought
for the ONCE successfully for six trien-
nial elections. During these eighteen
years Of public service Miss HilTs work
in the schools of London was Of meal
culable benefit.
About twenty years ago Miss Hill Wis
tied this country and made a tour OF tho
schools on this side OF the Atlantic. S ee
was delighted with the system employed
In this country and one of the things
that seemed to please her most was the
fact that every school In this country
had a pinao to help with the singing
marching. and drilling OF the children
She took the idea back to London, where
It was greeted with amazement. but
through persistent efforts she finally
succeeded in placing a piano in every
school in London.
The youngest child OF the King and
Queen OF Belgium-Princess Marie Jose
was born eight years ago today. Her
father is the well-beloved King Albert
and her mother Is Queen Elizabeth, said
to be the most learned royal woman Of
Europe.

The SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT
AND W0MAHlY BEAUTY

The newspapers happily have proven
by printing photographs of many suf-
frage leaders that they are up to the
minute. both as to clothes and as to
beauty and we contend modern women
are beautiful because they have learn
ed to care for themselves and study
beauty methods. Then. too. We have
found an astonishing thing-namely,
that they have discarded face powder
The reason compilations suffer so much
in summer is because powder does not
offer SUFFICIENT protection against the
hot sun A plain spurmax lotion not
only safeguards the skin from the ele-
ments, but in itself is a beautifier Of
great worth. To prepare this lotion at

There are few Of US who are sufficient
ly vegetarian in taste or conviction to
meet the high cost Of meat by eliminating
all flesh food from our diet There is
something in the very smell Of cooked
meat, a juicy, broiled steak or a savory
ragout, that breaks down the, fabric OF
our vegetarian convictions. The best
thing to do. then. in cutting down the
meat bill is to learn several ways OF
using cheaper cuts OF meat, or combin-
ing a small amount of meat with vegeta-
bles or cereals SO as to increase their
bulk without materially decreasing their
tastiness.
Here are a few inexpensive meat dishes

pouU1 of lean pork, part meat and part

spoonful Of salt. one-hah teaspoonful of
powdered sage and waterfall ingredients

could afford.

pork in water until the meat can be

MOTHER AS A SHOEMAKER.

When my baby got to the crawling
stage used to find 1t very difficult to
keep his little pink toes warm and COW
cred. The young Turk poked them
through woolen bootees in no time, and
seemed to think that tiny kid shoes were
only put on So that he might have the
, pleasure Of kicking them off, writes q
mother.
At last, In despair, turned shoe
maker myself, and determined to make
comfy little pair of slippers that would
stay on.
First unearthed a pair of old elbow
length tan gloves OF my own, and then
proceeded to cut out sole and upper
from each arm. with q pair Of bought
shoes as a pattern.
At the same time I cut out a lining
Of warm material to make my handi-
work quite firm and neat. Then stitched
the kid and lining Of the upper together
on the wrong side side and Joined up the
back OF the heel Afterwards turning the
whole thing right side out and stitching
It all round.
The little bands hemmed neatly by
hand and finished them off with a brown
button and buttonhole. Then / stitched
the sole-which I had already Joined to
Its lining-to the upper. inside out, Of
course, and finally slip-stitched another
lining to the sole, to make II tidy.
In less than an hour my first attempt
at shoemaking was finished, and the
baby had a comfy pair Of slippers which
fitted his little feet perfectly and abso-
lutely refused to be kicked off.
That was eight months ago. and baby
stil wears little brown shoes made in
the same way. He also has some white
ones for best occasions made from gloves
as well and finished with tiny POM
poms. They look very charming, and
are much admired. But. unfortunately,
they soil so quickly that find the tan
ones far more useful for everyday wear

SUMMER BREAKFASTS.

Il wish" said the doctor. IT could make
my patients realize that breakfast is just
as necessary for their physical well-be-
ing in the summer time as at any other
time of the year.
Many persons, because Of their tickle
appetite during the heated period, take
II as an indication that their systems do
not require food in the early morning.
The human body after a nights sleep
may well be compared to a furnace that
has been banked during the night. As
In the latter. the few live embers that
remain need fuel in the early morning. 50
II Is with the body. for it Is then that all
functions are at the lowest ebb.
"a light. simple, well-cooked break
fast consisting of stewed or fresh frui,
cooked or uncooked cereal, with milk as
a beverage, gives the body excellent fuel
for its days work.
''On occasion when I have been in q
patients kitchen and have observed the
frying Of ham and potatoes, and smelled
what I knew was poor coffee, have
suggested that a large bowl of oatmeal
with plenty of milk for each person,
would prove a more sustaining and
wholesome breakfast.
When cooking cereals they are made
more digestible when prepared In q
double boiler. thus allowing them to be
cooked by the steaming process, which
preserves the nutritive properties.
Eliminate coffee during the summer
months Also meats and when drinking
tea. have II weak. Fried foods Of any
kind are to be avoided, as are hot
breads. Milk products of all kinds make
desirable beverages for summer break
fast. Among these, matted milk, flavor
ed with coffee, has a pleasant taste.
Buttermilk is also to be recommended
Don't go to the table and eat all that
Is placed before you, just because II Is
there. Eat the articles of food that appeal
to the appetite and that are wholesome,
partaking OF sufficient quantity rather
than Of great variety"
