Mothers Should Know
Their Daughters Friends

home light shines clear and constant
ly. In this way, too, the mother is en-
abled to make her own appraisement
of the youth and to advise her actions
accordingly, or to guide her actions
perhaps without the daughters knowl-
edge if she is of the type who resent
advice or so-called parental "interfer-
ence" This mother is always present
at these little luncheons, but she never
obtrudes herself upon the young peo-
pie; she seems to be just one of them,
and her presence, it must be said, is
always welcomed by the escorts of the
daughter
Another advantage of this plan, too,
is that it does away with the after
theater-supper, in which, needless to
say, this mother does not believe She
does not like to have her daughter go
to them, and as she has pointed out
to the girl, they are often a severe
drain upon the financial resources of
the young man.
If more mothers would follow the
example of this one, it is safe to say
that more thought would be devoted
to the welfare of grown daughters
than there is at present, especially in
the large cities.

Mothers would often save them
selves from many regrets, if not ac-
tual heartaches, and might save their
daughters from many pitfalls if they
kept in closer touch with the girl her
self and with her friends as well. 1t
is an astounding fact and most un-
fortunate one, but it is true that in
the large cities especially the mothers
rarely meet the young men Win whom
their daughters associate.
One wise mother has adopted this
plan, and it has worked out exceed
ingly we'll Whenever her daughter
is out for the evening, the mother
waits up for her and has a light little
lunch to serve just as soon as the
daughter comes in She doesn't go to
a lot Of trouble or expense about it
There is generally some cocoa and
cake or sandwiches or a little salad
not very much, but daintily served
and always we'll and carefully pre-
pared
This plan has many advantages 1t
gives the mother a chance to see and
become acquainted with the man who
has been her daughters escort, and at
the same time it shows the youth that
here at least is one girl for whom the

LITERATURE
Views of Life.
By Omar w. Russell, Casnovia, Mich.

Since the beginning of mans his
tory, there has been septic's as well
as Christians, and under these two
heads we find optimists and pessi-
mists.
Have you ever studied man in his
true light; or even in your own life
you might reveal something of mans
darker nature, if you only study the
views of life as they are seen every
day amongst humankind.
The Christians View.
Life on earth may be short;
Still it may be long;
While we are here, we wish
To make life one sweet song;
We will not call for our stay here life;
Only place of gladness and sin,
Where we must live and mingle in;
Between gladness and sin, we must
choose:
In the one we win, the other we lose;
We choose the gladness and JOY for
ours,
To while away the glorious hours:
Then when we die, a life sublime
Will be ours, for all time.
The Sceptic's View.
l live my life, without a creed;
From religion / am free,
The great idea of living again,
Such foolish thoughts from the
minds of men,
/ live in Joy, with mingled pain
You tell me / will live again.

Portland, Oregon.

The schools of Portland have taken
no active part in the promotion of ag-
riculture or horticulture. While the
city is famous for its civic pride and
some of the principals of schools en-
courage the children to assist parents
in their home gardens, the matter of
int resting children in plant life is left
wholly to the parents or to the agen-
cies.
A young mems association of Port
land Yields strong influence among
the men and boys of the city along
many and varied lines. In 1910 the
association offered to teach every boy
in Portland to swim. Three thousand
boys received such instruction. Equal
ly as many responded to the call given
by the association through the public
schools, in 1911, to sign contract to
enter garden contest in growing
four vegetables and one flower at their
homes. In the judgment of the direc-
tor of the boys work, Mr.. j. w. Pal

In this contest the plat cultivated
could not be less than 10 by Is feet.
A registration fee of 40 cents was
charged to cover postage, cost Of
seeds, and other expenses. The con-
test was divided into a spring contest
and fall one, registration fee Of
60 cents being charged if both were
entered. Early in the spring a repre-
sentative from the Oregon agricul-
tural experiment station at Corvallis
gave a course of ELEMENTARY talks
to the boys. Seeds were distributed,
to be planted after methods given
in the lecture course. Each con-
testant was required to make a report
on blanks furnished by the association

Potatoes on the Half Shell.

A pleasing variation from baked
potatoes is afforded by the following
recipe: Baking is one of the most pal
atable methods of cooking potatoes,
and properly baked they are very
easily digested.
Select medium sized potatoes, scrub
very thoroughly, using a brush; place
in a shallow pan or on a potato baker,
Wand cook in a quick oven for about
40 minutes or until quite soft; cut a
thin slice from the top, scoop out the
inside and mash thoroughly. For six
potatoes allow two tablespoons of but
ter, three tablespoons of hot milk;
salt and white pepper to taste. Refill
the shells, letting the potato rise a
little above the edge; stand in bak-
ing pan and cook in hot oven about
eight minutes. Serve hot.

Soda Biscuit.
(By Request


Soda and sour milk, if properly bal
anced, are no more injurious than
baking powder
One quart of -four; one teaspoon of
salt; one teaspoon of soda; four ia
blespoons of shortening; about one
and three-fourths cups thick sour
milk.
Mix the dry ingredients and sift
twice. Cut the shortening in with a
knife until distributed, then mix in
the sour milk with knife, using
enough to make dough that is easily
handled. Turn on a lightly Toured
board, knead for one minute, roll to
half an inch thickness and cut Lay
on baking sheet or biscuit pan and
place in a hot oven Immediately; bake
for IL minutes. If all the ingredients
are cold the biscuit will be lighter
on account of the greater expansion
when put in the oven. The work must
be rapidly done where soda and sour
milk are used, as the gas is formed
quickly and may escape before the
oven is reached.

Potatoes. Mashed and Drowned.

Potatoes are best when cooked in
their jackets, but if time and fuel
must be saved it is well to pare them
before cooking. If to be cooked un-
peeled, remove a narrow band Of skin
around the center of the potato. This
will prevent them bursting and be-
coming water soaked. Scrub the po-
tatoes, cover with boiling water and
cook over a moderate heat till tender,
when pierce with a fork. The water
shfdld boil, but if the boiling is very
violent the skin will be broken. When
the potatoes are done, peel them and
dust with salt; stand them in a hot
place for a few moments, then press
through a potato ricer or mash well
and season as for potatoes on the half
shell. Pile in pudding dish and have
the top rounding and smooth; brush
with egg yolk to which you have adj
ded one teaspoon of water; bake in a
hot oven till brown.

True and Tried Recipes
Fancy Work and Cooking for the Season

If the potatoes are pared, drop into
cold water Immediately; when ready
to cook cover with boiling water and
cook till tender. If the outside seems
done before the center, add a cup Of
cold water to the kettle to lessen the
heat. When the potatoes are done,
drain in a wire basket; return to the
saucepan and shake over the fire till
dry; dust with salt; then mash, sea-
son and brown.

Next in Importance to a knowledge
of producing vegetables is the knowl-
edge of how to put them to the best
usc--to can, preserve, cook, and serve
them in the best way. A home eco
nomics summer class was organized
among the gardeners at the Oakland
school, Cleveland, in 1910, and a
teacher skilled in both gardening and
cookery put in charge. The ambition
of the teacher has been to make the
cooking, canning, and preserving so
simple that little ones of and 10
years can readily accomplish the

work. Three such kitchen gardens
have been in operation in 1911, each
one open two days in a week.
In the first two weeks at one school
the children canned and preserved $50
jars, besides receiving instruction in
the cooking and serving of six differ
ent kinds of vegetables grown in their
gardens. An exhibition at the open
ing of one of the new market houses
in Cleveland was most creditable to
the teacher in charge. Every vege-
table grown in the gardens had been
canned for winter use in a manner
that would have been a credit to most
experienced housekeepers.

Optimist's View.
Oh! glorious life that we are in,
So full Of delight;
Where you see so much darkness
| see nothing but light;
Where you say something is bad,
To me it looks quite bright;
My eyes are like a mirror,
Clear and bright of sight;
What you say is wrong,
In my life it can not come;
Because my eyes will not reflect,
"At Night"
Pessimist's View.
This life is a funny thing,
Where all the days are dark,
And filled with sin and strife;
| cannot see, the good of it,
Or any good to come of it,

When everything is bad

When life is so sad;
So when nothing is good,

This design has two special good
points, j. e., the deep convenient pock-

high over the bust, and this affords
good protection. The apron is easy to
