Some of the school patrons are
considering the matter of getting
a manual training department
added to our schools. 1t has been
suggested that a vacant room be
rented and teacher employed for
that purpose. This would be a
fine thing provided a convenient
place could be obtained at reason

could be added without Gripping

Of course you know the position
taken by a couple in starting waltz
on a dance floor; well, the same posi-
ton is used on skates.
The gentleman leads with his left
foot, using his right foot to push
with. The lady raises her right foot
and gIides backward on her left foot.
The first circle of the figure eight
is made on the foot on which they
start, changing to the opposite foot
for the second circle.
Upon the completion of the last
circle of the figure eight comes the
reverse. This is nothing but short
step to make the turn, the gentleman
skating backward on the left foot
and the lady forward on her left.
Each circle is made on one foot,
enough force being used in the start.
There you have the complete steps
and action of the waltz hesitation,
the rest being only repetition of
what has already been explained.
1t is a great sport and breaks the
monotony of straightaway skating.
Try it yourself and see.

CHICKEN SUPREME


Dice enough cold cooked chicken
to make one pint and over it turn two
tablespoons of melted butter, one
half teaspoon Of salt and one-half
teaspoon of celery salt and dash of
pepper. This may be prepared early
in the day.
When ready to serve put one table
spoon of butter in the pan and set
over hot water pan nearly full of
water. When the butter is melted
add one heaping tablespoon of flour
and stir until smooth; pour in one
cup of cold milk and cook until it all
begins to thicken. Stir constantly to
avoid Jumps.
Cook at least five minutes, then
add the chicken and heat for five
minutes, then add two tablespoons of
heavy, sweet cream and serve at
once.

One.Of the chief causes Of poverty
among the masses Is the absence Of
foresight to prevent distress in time

success, but no Government recog-
nlzed its responsibility on this score
until Germany initiated n law provid-

largely to their welfare.

An officer Of tho United States Pub.

sickness produces seven times as much

try to better living conditions arising

Try 10 Detter living cOnuit1OnS arising
from increased wages.
There Is no immediate prospect of
an increase in wages Of the average
workers sufficient to enable them to
secure for themselves freedom from
economic causes of disease.
Since the present methods Of dis.
ease prevention and cure nre expen-
sive, the commission recommends a
new method based on the cooperative
action Of those responsible for these
conditions. A system Of sickness in
surance Is regarded as the most fea.
sible single remedy. The right Of the
Federal Government to tax Industries
for this purpose has been recognized
since 179S, when the law taxing regis
tered vessels for the support. of the
Marine Hospital Service was passed.
An extensive scheme for a Federal
system Of sickness insurance Is out
lined by the commission, providing
for a national sickness insurance
commission, composed Of representa-
tives Of employers and employees III
equal ratio, with the Federal Com
missioner Of Labor Statistics and tho
Surgeon.G General of the Public Health
Service MS ex oflcio members.
The antagonism encountered by
the State compensation acts will
doubtless be multiplied when the COM
missions recommendations are offered
in the shape of n Congressional act.
1t IL to be hoped, however, that n
measure which promises such benef-
cent results. without serious encroach.
ment upon the individual, may be
calmly and ju%diciously considered.
The wage Garner Is the bone and
sinew Of the land. To preserve his
physical. mental and moral integrity
should be an important aim Of legis-
lative action.
