 with the earliest hints of spring she opens every crack and cranny of all her house to the fresh and sweeten- ing breath of Gods pure air. She rids her house of the winters unprofitabls accumulation of dust and trash and, as the most important of many details she begins with renewed vigilance to guard her ice box from the insiduous menaces to health of which 1t may So easily become the center.
 "Trained nurses will tell you now and then of mysterious and spon- taneous cases of diphtheria which have been traced to the family refrigerator and it is about the care of this special piece of household furnishing,
 "The day has passed when refrig- orator may be called a luxury. It is possibly the most useful and helpful of our many modern household conven- iences. but one that with careless use becomes menace. A receptacle con stantly chilled with ice as a refriger- ator is, is apt to become damp. and dampness, as we all know, encourages the growth of germs, the most malig- nant of which. unfortunately, are not destroyed by cold. Consequently the inside of refrigerator should be wiped every day with a dry, clean cloth and once week everything should be taken out so that the sides. shelves and drain may be thoroughly scalded. Boiling water should be poured in sev- oral times so as to Insure perfect clean liness.
 "The drain pipe Is a favorite lurking place for germs and one needs a brush to keep this in perfect sanitary condi- ton.
 Never Clean It With Soap
 "A refrigerator should never be cleaned with soap or with cloths that have been used in soap and water Bicarbonate of soda is the best thing to keep it fresh and sweet.
 "A refrigerator Is not a safe, or a storeroom for food, but 8 place for food that needs to be kept cool But ter In a refrigerator should be placed in a tightly covered receptacle, as should also vegetables or foods of strong odor Milk needs more access to

 Foods to be eaten raw. as celery or lettuce. should be cleaned before beina put into the refrigerator as also should fruit. A basket of peaches or grapes often contain ants or other insects and may introduce these pests into the very midst of our most carefully guarded food
 T believe the best advice l can give as to the care of a refrigerator is that you need never let 1t set soiled. Keep it sweet and clean day by day and your task will never be a difficult one. IL is not hard labor but wise and efficient care that makes of each housekeepers own partic- ular ice chest an unfailing source of com fort and good living to her entire house. hold"
 At Christmas time a year ago Mrs. Will son was requested to ptepare for President and Mrs Wilson a Christmas present cake. The cake was made. according to recipe which will be explained at the cooking school. and expressed to the White House Two weeks afterwards President Wilson took his pen In hand and wrote the maker of the cake this letter:
 Waited Two Weeks to Taste It
 Mrs. Wilson wishes me to write in be- half of all of Us to express our very sim cere and unqualified admiration of the beautiful cake sent by you at Mir. smiths request. It is a pleasure to be able to tell you that we thought it the most beau- tiful cake we had ever seen without ex- ception. It Is so good to look at that we have not yet tasted it's quality. but | am sure it will taste as good as it looks
 And brief time later when the cake finally was eaten, the effect produced by the taste went far beyond that made by the external beauty. Another letter came from the President and, following this. when plans were being made for the Will son-Sayre wedding celebration at tho White House. the President remembered that Christmas cake and personally arr ranged with its maker to direct the pastries for the wedding feast.
 Mrs Wilson will arrive in Birming- ham in advance of the opening of the demonstration in order to direct the final arrangements of the exhibit booths and the demonstration materials.

The management of the Permanent Exhibit building is arranging to take care of the seeing and hearing elements. The entire third floor of this institution is being turned into a lecture and dem onHtration hall. Sounding boards are being established and the lecture room will be well protected from encroach- ment of outside noises. The stage or platform where the cooking will be done will be raised sufficiently high to make 1t visible to every seat in the room.
 Not the least interest will be eentered in the exhibits, which already are being assigned 10 space about the lecture room. No exhibits will be permitted un- less they represent standard, recognized and reputable household commodities. Mrs. Wilson in her advance correspond ence with The Age-Herald has empha- sized this same point which The Age Herald always has stressed.
 High Class specialties
 She, too, insists that only the high est class of specialties be allowed booth space. She will use in her demonstra- tions only the goods of these exhibitors, and so she takes personal interest in their selection

 Something of the practical trend that Mrs. Wilson's lectures will take can be seen from the following excerpt taken from one of her articles in the March Southern Woman's magazine, of which she is department head:
 Care of Refrigerator
 "The present day housekeeper takes her duties more sanely than her grand mother did. The old-fashioned habit of housekeeping that saved all the best things for company and that kept things rigidly in order though the heavens fell.

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Lyric

The bill at the Lyric theatre for the last half of the week is above the aver age and pleased three large and appre- ciative audiences yesterday afternoon and evening. There is acrobatic, dra- matic, musical and comedy work and each and every number received a hand that indicated that the claim that was made in advance was we'll taken.
 Les Jardys. an European novelty of hand and pole balancing, the Jardys be- ing man and woman, was very good, and the act proved one of the best in the line seen in sometime Roxy La Rocca, harpist. was given nothing short of an ovation and it was neces- sary at the evening performances sim ply to carry the harp out before the audience would desist. The music rem dered was varied, from ragtime to grand opera, and every taste for music was gratified.
 Barrett and Opp in Mexican tray esty were given a good hand. and Hinds. Washburn and Geer, blackface min strels, put on an entertaining minstrel show by themselves. The feature of the bill are the Italian musketeers, a wom- an and four men, in vocal and instru- mental singing. The setting Is artistic and gives tone to the music. The sing ing was of the grand opera kind and was enjoyed. There was violin and madolin playing and the whole act went with much vim.
 The Pathe weekly and the comics made up the splendid bill of which Manager Semon can well be proud.

ell is one of vfirst.violins simply
because she is so much more than a

musician cried out in amazement,
You play like a mani" he missed the

source, not the limitation, of her art.
She is interested in politics and peace
of art. of American music and great
ness of women.
She loathes militancy, but is not
opposed to woman suffrage, although
having no particular desire to vote. yet
believes the Withholding of it seems
unfair
Maud Powell disclaiins artistic su-
premacy for her sex and says: There
are few women that equal the greatest
men in the field of art. They have not
interested, nor thrown their whole ma
lures into artistic forms of expression.
There is something of the man, too.
in the greatest women, as there is of
the woman in the greatest man. You
find that in the tenderness that is in
