"EFFICIENCY-

Our attention has been called 10 an
editorial which attempts to kill the
word efficiency" because the use Of
this word makes the editor sick, and
he says the word Is not used any more
only by "shallow-brained editors, in
maiden sermons, speeches Of peanut
politicians, sophomore essays of high
school boys, and In the conversation
Of ribbon clerks"
Efficiency IL an unknown quantity
being competent; possession Of the 10
cessary knowledge or ~dexterity to &C.
complish a task. In mechanics Il
ear the ratio Of useful effect to the
expenditure Of energy"
Coming at n time when the winner
Of the high school oratorical contest
had rs his subject, Efficiency" and
the critic being n member Of the local
school board IL behooves the manage
ment Of these contests to 60 and con-
suit this wonder mind what to use
and when to use T.
Efficiency Is an unknown quantity
to a shallow-brained, bone-head edi-
tor, but IL sometimes makes him sick
to see IL mentioned in a country pa
per whose aim IL is to build up and
not to tear down that which has al
ready been commenced toward max
ing the state and county better. NOR
ally, financially and otherwise.
We enjoy living in a country where
the people believe in efficient officials.
We have faith in banks that employ
efficient men to handle their affairs.
1t is a pleasure to trade In stores
that keep efficient clerks.
We like TO see efficient mechan-
les at work in their different voca-
tons in the mechanical world.
The public has faith in newspapers
whose stockholders employ efficient ed
itors who are competent to distinguish
news from v~ulgarity.
In fact, we have sfaith in efficiency
to its fullest extent and we only wish
We had more OF il at our command.
The editors brilliancy reminds us Of
this little verse:
The lightning bug is brilliant,
II hasn't any mind;
II stumbles through existence
With its headlight on behind.
The family doctor should prepare
himself and be in readiness for a mys-
FERROUS case.

Do You Read Labels?

food authorities are urging the
housewife to carefully read the
labels on all food articles.
The laws Of most states compel
food manufacturer to print the
ingredients Of their products on
the label, and this enables con-

foods from those which may be
d~e1eterious.
High-grade baking powders are

Cream Baking Powder is a type of
the highest grade. It is pure and

The l~ow-grade baking powders
are made from alum, a mineral acid

their use in food.

THE CLIMBERS" IS
 SOCIETY DRAMA

Amelia Bingham's greatest stage success "The Climbers by Clyde Fitch has been picturizcd for the screen by the Lubin Producers and will be shown today and tomorrow at Fox's. As a stage play The Climbers" was one of the greatest successes of it's time and theatergoers will re- member how it was welcomed in New York and the greater cities. The story deals with a captain of industry, sup posedly of limitless wealth, With .n inordinately eXtravagant family, whose chief object in life is to climb to great social heights and assist other climbers to mount with them. The story is replete with situations that are compelling in their dramatic intensity, vivid and realistic in the extreme and strikes home a moral lesson that will be remembered for a good many moons to come.
 Gladys Hanson, George Soule Spen- cer and Walter Hitchcock, the former William Fox star, play the leading characters and much can be eX- pected from their delineation of the difficult roles. Barry O'Neil, the dean of the screen has framed some excellent and artistic backgrounds for the play and the elaborate set tings play big part in stamping this production as film classic. '"Thc Climbers will be shown tonight at 7:30 D. m. and 9:15 D. m. with sev- eral excellent single reel comedies of

Household Notes


 Put salt in the oven under your baking tins and the dish will not scorch on the bottom.
 Dough balls and dumplings help also to eke out meat dish where the supply has run short.
 Never put too much food on an invalid's tray, but serve it with the most perfect daintiness.
 Add little minced celery and parsely to the filling for chicken. It will have a delicious flavor.
 Too salty soup can be saved by adding a fe'v slices of raw potatoes nnd cooking a little longer.
 Many rcople forget that grapes can be bade into delicious cobblers, and pies just like any other fruit. Cold lunches pave the way to in- digestion, so whenever it is possible let the children have something hot. When r.laking cheese dishes, it is we'll to add 9 tiny pinch of carbonate of soda as t:is renders them more !! dlgestible.
 When slicing bacon from the piece the l:lIife will cut more sm ooth- 1 ly if it is dipped in water before cut I ling each slice.
 Watch cellars and bathrooms both have more to do with the health 1 of a family than almost any other l part of the house. TO prevent cabbage heads from i bursting, take a sharp knife and pierce through the stem between the head and the ground.
 To clean the sink from ugly stains, leave {. thin coat of potash on over night. t should be applied with care, as it is poisonous.
 If you arc ever obliged to sit with wet feet, take the precaution of hot both at night with a~little turpentine and green soap in the water.
 Fruit left overs will make dainty dessert. Mash the fruit and to each cupful of pulp and juice add st tablespoonful of cornstarch dis solved in a little cold water. Sweeten to taste and cook until clear. Long cooking improves it. Pour into glasses and serve with plain or whipped l CrCan..
 Bananas absorb the flavor of any other fruit they are mixed with. Those who cannot digest pastry, yet require fruit dishes occasionally, should stew the fruit in the usual way with sugar to taste, then place it in a pie-dish, and cover with thin slices, of bread and butter or a thick layer of cake and Ercadcrumbs. Pour over all an egg well beaten in a half pint of milk, grate some nutmeg over, and bake slowly for twenty minutes. Serve l either hot or cold.
 Make cucumber pickles by first preparing u brine that will float an egg. Into this brine put the cucum- bers as you gather them each day, place over them a china plate, and on top of tile plate a stone sufficiently heavy to keep the cucumbers under the brine. AS the water rom the cucumbers will weaken the brine, add salt each time so that there is always little undissoived all the time. Care should be taken not to break the skin of the cucumber, as this will cause | them to soften. When they are thoroughly pickled and you want to use them, take out enough for several servings, soak them in water, boil them tender and put them into vine- gar and they are ready to eat.

An Infants Remarkable Growth

Why Electrical Prosperity Week?
And by way OF reply: Why not?
A common fault with many Of us
is that we lack perspective to q cer-
tain extent. Therefore we often fail
to fully appreciate momentous events.
Take. for instance, the develop
ment OF the electrical industry.
How many realize that the elec-
trical industry last year did a volume
OF business amounting to 81. 900. 1885,
600?
This il practically seven times the
amount OF money expended In the
construction OF the Panama canal. II
is n sum sufficient 10 feed all the men
and horses engaged on both sides Of
the European war for period Of
eight years.
And all this Is accomplished by an
industry that Is still In Its infancy:
an industry dating from the erection
OF the first electric light plant but
thirty-four years ago.
The statistics In the growth OF the
electrical business are among the
most amazing In all modern history"
says Frank A. Vanderlip. president Of
the National City Bank OF New York.
and one OF the nations most active
tnanciers.
Why Prosperity Week? For
many reasons. Among these, the fact
that while other lines Of business
were retrenching and economizing
In every possible way last year. the
electrical inductry expended $780,
900. 900 In new equipment. extension
Of service and betterment OF CONNER
cial development.
Three-fourth of all our people
daily come into contact with electric
appliances In some form or other.
Ten per cent of the nations popula-
ton derive their daily bread from the
various Industrial fields into which
electricity enters. The average ex-
pcnditures show that every person In
the United States spends $50 year

for electrical devices Or service.
When we remember that electricity
is the most important commodity In
our lives. that It II something that
everybody requires, that 1t Is the
safest. most economical servant we
have. that electric price has dropped,
while other commodities have stead
lily increased in cost. and that the
more electricity 10 used the cheaper
II viii become. we begin to perceive
the great extent Of Its appeal and the
weeks mission.
Electricity, operating in many ways.
has created comfort-factors that have
carried the world out of the darkness
Of drudgery into the light OF con-
vcniencS.
II has, more than any othe. agency.
enhanced the comfort, health and hap
piness OF mankind.
The same current, carried by SIM
pie little wires. serves us with light.
heat or power. 1t carries our bur-
dens; 1t transports US from place to
place. II lights our homes. stores and
streets. and thus protects us against
the terrors that thrive In darkness.
Electricity does our sewing. cook
ing. washing and ironing. 1t cleans
the home. and keeps 1t free from dirt
and germs. II supplies warmth in
winter and cool comfort in summer.
1t links together the peoples OF
the world by the wireless. the cable
the telegraph and the telephone, max
ing one huge family OF US all.
electricity enters into the manufac.
ture Of practically all our necessities
making them cheaper and better than
would be possible by any othel
means.
! Electricity finds no duty too heavy
nor any task too delicate. With won
.derful ;,daptability, always under con
troll. ii is powerful enough to drive
pcnderous machinery. gentle enough

the baby's bottle.
The evening herald. (Klamath Falls, Or.) 1906-1942, 1915-11-30

Whatever electricity does, 1t does
safely. silently. cleanly, speedily.
thoroughly.
Electricity Is always at hand. 1t
obeys instantly. It never sleeps. new
er tires, never refuses.
A twitch Of . switch or q touch Of
a button. 10 all the effort required to
command this willing servant to do
your work.
Just imagine. II you will, what
would happen II electricity were sud-
denly eliminated.
The wheels OF commerce would be
halted. We would be in darkness.
Without telegraph. cable or wire
less. we would be cut on from the
outside world. without the telephone
we would again be deaf and dumb to
all absent ones. Progress and pros
perity would suddenly be checked.
With all of its wonderful advant-
ages. electricity. and the appliances
through which 1t operates. are not
luxuries.
The cost of the appliances and Of
the current to operate them, is low.
And what time and labor they save;
what convenience and comfort they
bring!
| In Acknowledgement Of the service
electricity is rendering. the electrical
industry and other great industries
cooperating with 1t. decided to dedi-
cate this week to a national celebra-
tion. to be known as Electrical Pros
perity Week.
You. personally. can help mako It

you will do at least these two things:
Celebrate in your home. Keep
