Strange that this plant. neither fruit
nor vegetable, but with most de-
licious stalks. should be found and
used only in North America, as 1t
Is practically unknown in any other
country. The original varieties were
bitter and very acid, but modern cul-
tivation Is evolving a thicker stalk
OF a milder. less acid type.
Since rhubarb is 40 per cent refuse
and 56 per cent water, the only
other constituent is a scattering
per cent Of flavor and fruit acids,
which, however, are valuable enough
to insist that rhubarb should be
widely used as a sauce or compete,

be as fresh as possible and peeled

red skin adds attractive color to

necessary to add one drop of water,
as the plant contains enough to
make its own juice.
As with all stewed fruits, sugar
should be added after the rhubarb
has partly cooked, This Will pre-
vent the fruit from toughening and
also save the sugar. Spices which
combine attractively with rhubarb
are ginger. cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Prunes, figs, and Strawberries are
also excellent combined with rhu-

the Importance Of the unemployment
question in America.
Mr.. Taylor. during the last days of
the Charities and Corrections confer
ence at Baltimore. was full Of the
subject.
DO you know what everyone says
this year when meeting old friends?"
he asked
And without waiting for my an
swer he finished: They ask how the
winter was passed. That Is a most
engrossing topic, for intead of what
have you accomplished? the ques-
ton this year is admittedly and d.
rectly concerned with mere exist
ence.
There Is In America a certain ele-
ment of well-fed. sleek persons who
have a hallucination that there never
has been time in America when a
good man could not get Job of
some sort If he wanted. This ele-
ment Is simply ignorant; hedged in
by Its own lmpregnable environment
OF contentment and plenty But there
are others who are beginning to real
lie the necessity of cooperative &C
TON and are aware OF the birth of a
new conscience, which tells them
that this Unemployment scourge Is a
community problem.
Chain of Exchanges.
In Chicago two unemployment COM
mittees were appointed to 60 out
and find out whether or not this
boyle were real. They found l2s.-
900 men out Of work
Conditions which produce such ef-
fects cannot be remedied, but means
of meeting those conditions should
be formulated. If resources could
be held In reserve by the Govern
ment they could be tapped at neces-
public and private employment would
run, one into the other. This. how
ever. Is merely a last resort. Prior
to that We can try chain of State,
municipal, and national exchanges,
making arrangements with the rail-
roads to act as a clearing house.
However, on that line l must
make a distinction. Work does not
grow on trees every month in the
year in the country, as proved by
recent Investigations.
There Is gross injustice in the
fact that charity tries to make up
that sum which an ablebodied man
can earn In wages"
