FAMOUS
WOMEN
Her
Birthday
And
Yours
October l3-Mol Pitcher.

The woman whom George Washington
honored with a commission as sergeant
in the Revolution began life as a house
servant During the course of her life
she was busy at many callings. She was
a laundress. a nurse girl, a storekeeper,
and a cook. besides, of course being a
ber l3 1744, and when she was twenty
FIVE years old she married barber named
John Hays, who. at the outbreak Of the
Revolution went of as a gunner The
reason that Molly followed her husband
was not necessarily for any especial de-
votion to John. but because she hoped to
earn a few shillings doing laundry work
for the officers.
Then at the famous battle of Mon
mouth, n. j.. when the thermometer
stood at Sc in the shade, Molly spent her
time fetching water for the soldiers from
spring near the battlefield. In the
thick Of the battle her husband, the gun
ner, was shot dOwn-but not killed-and
as there was no one able to serve as
gunner the order came from the COM
manding officer to remove the useless
gun from the field. But Molly was equal
to the task. and before the gun could be
removed she had dropped her pitcher
some authorities say it was pail-and.
seizing the rammer began to take up the
heroic work where her husband left II.
Molly was always very excitable
woman, and as she went on rramming
and charging that gun she kept crying
out that she would avenge the wrong
done her husband, and this so inspirited

Suggestion That Viii Prope
Useful to the New Mother

How many mothers have trouble with
with their teeth, especially after having
two or three children. It is reasonable
when one considers that most mothers
take but little care OF their own teeth,
the daily and hurried brushing is ali that
Is deemed necessary. When a prominent
physician was asked when the mother
should begin to take care of the baby's
teeth. he answered: Nine months before
the baby Is born" He hastened to ex-
plain to the startled mother that the use
OF lime water by the mother Insures an
extra amount Of lime that Is needed both
oy the mother and infant, that II the
mother, after thoroughly cleaning her
Teeth at night, would take a mouthful Of
milk or magnesia and allow IL to coat
each tooth, 1t would prevent the action
OF an acid condition of the mouth, which
Is likely to occur during this period. II A

mucous membrane and are less harmful
than the medicines that affect the muscu-

any. A simple home remedy, most excel

the soldiers who were around her that
not one OF them wavered till the battle
was won.
Every one knows the rest of the story
how the next morning Molly, still
dressed in the soiled and tattered gar
ments of the battlefield, was brought be-
fore Gen. Washington who commissioned
her a sergeant. Molly remained for
eight years in the army. and then was
retired on half pay. She worked as a
nurse for children for several years, and
was noted for her tenderness, in spite
of her rough exterior. Then she had a
little store for several years. She mar
ried after the death of her first husband
a Mp. Mckolly, who allowed her to sup
port him, and abused her in return.
Finally she got a position as laundress
and cook in the barracks at Carlisle. Pa,
and there. amid the military surround
ings she loved, swapping stories with the
veterans of the Revolution, she spent the
end of her eventful life.

shoeing as possible, and particularly as
little heel as possible. The reason is that
the foot is a perfect organ and can best
perform its functions in the natural state.
The additional heel keeps the heel of the
foot from the ground where it belongs,
changes the center of gravity. throws
the weight of the body forward causing
the toes to turn up and resulting in a
loss of 'cIutching' power essential to foot
strength and speed.
Heels cause the collapse of the front
arch and resulting painful affiictiOn. An
other contributory cause is thin soles,
particularly those worn by fashionable
women. These soles lose their fatness,
and aided by the high heels pull up on
the two sides of the forefoot. letting the
middle drop down. This reverses the con-
veXity of the arch.
The injury Of high heels is not con-
fined to the feet. One reason that nine
people out of ten are tubercular is due
TO the tipping forward of the body caused
by high heels. The natural walk con-
sists Of naturally falling forward and
catching ones self with each step to
prevent falling. This utilizes the force
of gravity and helps the walker along.
Otherwise he is leaning back and is
literally hauling himself forward and
wasting muscular energy.
The throwing forward of the body BY
high heels soon destroys the habit of up
right carriage, results in fat chests, de-
creased lung capacity and, finally, de-
creased respiration. This is the indi-
viduars invitation to tuberculosis. That
nine people in ten have the focus of the
disease has recently been proven by
tubercular tests on well people. Some
where in US is a bunch of tubercular
bacini which is closed up like a nut in
a shell.
Don't toe out. Practice walking
pigeon-toed. Tiptoe as many as fifty
times daily. This raises the arch and
strengthens the whole foot as a whole.
Pick up marbles with the toes frequent
Iy to increase the muscles on the un-
der side of the feet. Wear shoes with
straight lines on the inner side clear of
the toes"

HERALD FAVORITES.

To be eighteen years old, to be a lead
ing movie actress for so very particular
q director as d. W. Griffith, wizard Of
the Mutual pictures. and to be the popu-
lar idol OF countless hundreds Of thou
sands of motion picture deyOtees all over

When she was only sixteen years old
the age when a girl is all arms and legs,
Miss Marsh managed to attract Mr.. Grif-
fth's attention, and he Immediately put
her to work. She had run away from
sc hool to become an actress, but she did
not tell him that. and he never knew II
until long afterward. He kept preaching
to her the need OF improving her mind as
we'll as learning the technique of the

Miss Marsh has done both. She is what
fairly may be called an omnivorous read

LITTLE HELPS.

To clean a white enamel bed: Dissolve
one tablespoonful of baking soda in one
pint of warm water, saturate soft cloth
with this mixture and wash the bed.
This process will clean all white enamel

White enameled furniture may also be
cleaned by rubbing all dirty marks with
a flannel dipped in methylated spirit and
washing Immediately with tepid water, to
which little fine oatmeal has been added.
Never use soap or washing soda.
If you wish to wash lace or net cur

Astrologers give warning that this is
a doubtful day in which 1t Is well to
conduct all aTairs with caution. Venus
is in place Of power for good, and Saturn
is mildly helpful early in the day. but
later both Saturn and Uranus are evil
in their sway.
Women appear to be rather fortunate
under this sign. In business affairs they
may benefit, but they should not put
their fate to the test in any romantic

Entertaining this month is subject TO a
leading that will not encourage much

1t is predicted that public meetings in
great numbers will be held in the United
States for the purpose Of discussing ma

told for the winter, when there will be
much power and distress.
According to a London seer threatri-

MEAT CHOPPER AIDS IN
FIGHTING THE MEAT BILL

Chopping meats IL one Of the principal
methods Of making tough and inexpen-
sive meat tender, 1. E., dividing Il finely
by cutting the connecting tissue into
small bits Such meats have another
advantage in that they may be cooked
quickly and economically.
In broiling chopped meat the fact
| should be kept in mind that there Is no
| reason why II should not be cooked like
the best and most expensive tenderIoin.
The only reason that ever existed for
difference in treatment was the tough
| ness Of the connective tissue and this
feature has been overcome by the chop
ping.
The idea to be reached in broiling
steak Is to scar the surface very quickly.
so that the juices which contain the
shall be kept in and then to allow the
heat to penetrate to the inside until the
whole mass Is cooked to the taste Of the
family. To pass the point where the
meat ceases to be pJABy and juicy and
becomes fiat and hard is very unde-
sirable. as the palatabilitY is then lost
Exactly the same ideal should be kept
In mind in broiling chopped meat II
this were always done, hard, compact,
tasteless balls or cakes Of meat would
be served less often. To begin with, the
broiler should be even more carefully
creased than for a whole steak. This
makes II possible To form the balls or
cakes Of chopped meat with very little
pressure without running the risk Of
having them pulled to pieces by adher-
ing to the wires OF the broiIer. They
should be heated on both sides even more
quickly than the steak, because the
chopping has provided for more ways OF
escape for the Juice. and these openings
should be sealed as soon as possible
The interior should be cooked to the
taste Of the family. just as the steak
is. In regard to broiIing, it may Incl
dentally be noted that housekeepers
often make themselves unnecessary
work when broiling under gas by al
lowing the juice from steaks or meat
