Tobacco In History.

It has been settled to the general
satisfaction of students of tobacco his.
tory that one Hernandez de Toledo
introduced the smoking habit into
Spain and Portugal in 1859, and that
he brought his tobacco from Santo Do
mingo. Jean Moot was the ambas-
sador of France at the court Of Per
tugal and he, acquiring the habit In
Lisbon, carried it with him back to
France, where the habit took hold in
fashionable circles some time before
Sir Francis Drake and his men carried
Indian pipes and tobacco to England
in 1885, at which time Sir Walter
Raleigh set the pipe-smoking fashion
at the court Of Elizabeth. whence 1t
spread over England. The habit OF
taking snuff followed closely in the
trail Of the pipe smoke.

aquarium at New York was recently

The tomato is q vegetable fruit to
which cookery owes much, although
for many years it was supposed to be
poisonous. 1t has been used in this
country for less than a century, but
its growth in popularity has been
rapid. Tomatoes are used in many
combinations of soups, sauces, rel
ishes and a large variety of many
dishes because their appetizing flavor
makes many more mildly favored food
materials appetizing. The sour taste
of the tomato is due chiefly to citric
acid, its distinctive flavor to special
substances difficult to identify.
The peeling of tomatoes may be
easily removed II the tomatoes are
plunged into boiling water for less
than a minute, then drained, and
chilled over ice, if possible. They may
then be peeled when needed. Perfect
ly ripe tomatoes may be scraped with
the back of a knife to loosen the skin,
which then will peel easily, but this is
less rapid than the scalding process.
II cooked tomatoes are to be strained.
it is unnecessary to peel them before
stewing, as the skin will remain in
the strainer with the seeds. Some
persons believe that immersion In hot
water Injuries the appearance and fa'
vor Of the tomato and peel them with
out this treatment
Many persons prefer to serve toma
toes unpeeled, particularly the hot
house tomato or other varieties with
thin, tender skins. II this is done, the
tomatoes, like all other fruits or veg
etables eaten raw, should be washed
carefully. The very small red toma
toes which grow in clusters. known al
cherry tomatoes, often found in large
markets, are very attractive for sal
ads. These and the yellow plum to
matoes are perhaps always eaten with
out peeling.

Is there any solution to the prob
lem of prostitution? In San Fran
cisco they have recently put into
practice the abatement law, driving
the girls from houses onto the street,
and from San Francisco has come a
cry of the brutal Unfairness OF this
system.
In other cities reformers have
driven girls from the city or put them
in jail, and from larger cities nearby
has come the cry that these women
of the underworld have merely mi
grated.
In Chicago the segregated district
has been closed and from the resi-
Dental district has come the cry that
women of the underworld have in
vaded these districts and that, in
stead of segregated vice we now have
scattered vice.
There has been protest against
the filming of women Of the under
world, which merely places a tax on
vice, and a shelter home has been
proposed, where these girls may be
sentenced to stay for year, and the
cry has come that this is equivalent
to prison sentence.
Is there a solution? have asked
that question of prominent social
workers, women and men who have
studied the question, and am going
to give you each day the opinion of
each social worker and let you de-
eide whether they have offered any
solution and whether their solution
is in any way a satisfactory one.
The first social worker l inter
viewed was Miss Jane Adams of Hull
House. In answer to my inquiry she
said:
Certainly a segregated district is
not a solution. It really connives at
the whole situation and almost al
ways ends in an understanding with
the police. 1t almost makes neces-

protection to our young men, be-
cause they do not know just where
to go and the segregated district
symbOlizes vice, visualizes it.
Nor can the filming system be ap-
proved. Girls are brought into court
and fined and allowed to go free and
earn the fine, which means they are
convicted of an offense and allowed
to go and commit the same offense
again. That is too absurd.
"AI efforts at abatement or clos
ing are more or less awkward and
unsatisfactory, but they are an effort
on the part Of the citizens to get rid
of this obnoxious situation which has
become intOlerable. Filming these
girls is almost municipal blackmail.

been worked out in New York city
at the Waverly house that Maude
Minor established. Girls there have

leading an idle and strange existence.
But the girl who still has vigor and
a normal capacity will come out all
right.
Zone of the great troubles has been
that girls placed in shelters of this
kind have been taught domestic
work. Many girls are not fitted for
that. Trades should be taught them
that will permit them a more free
life, that will enable them to live with
friends or with their own people, and
not with strange family as house
hold service employers.

Miss Martha Barrett was born in
Burton, November Z, 1901, and passed
away at her home north of Burton
Wednesday evening, Nov. II, 1915, al
the age of ID years and 10 days.
She was bright and noble christian
girl and was loved by all who knew
her. She attended school until she was
II years old, when failing health
compelled her to give up her studies.
She again started in November of last
year and attended but one day of
school when she contracted whooping
cough from which an advanced case of
tuberculosis set in from which she was
a sufferer until her death. Amid the
constant suffering and weakness she
kept her faith with God and during The
last few days she could hardly wait for
Jesus to come and take her home in
Glory. Her dying words were, Jesus,
come quick" and then passed away to
reap the reward of the faithful. Our
loss is Heavens gain.
She leaves to mourn her loss her
mother, one sister, step-father and
several uncles and aunts.
