TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY
OF MARTHA ELKIN
HUGHES.

With each pulsation of my heart |
entertain thought of my dear, devot-
ed, Christian companion. who has only
left the mortal to put on Immortality
Free from guile and selfshness, ever
ready to promote the welfare of others,
given to words of comfort and conso-
lation, living to the fruits of the Spirit
and the harmonIes of Heaven her life
was felt and appreciated by large
circle of friends.
To my poor soul and being, that life
had been an anchor, solace and a
comfort for 46 years. | sought her
advice, and words OF good cheer and
comfort, in adversely, and her approval
in prosperity. None of US appreciate
as we should, until we are deprived of
one whose life was the sunshine of our
existence. 1t is then that the memory
of our smiles, words and acts of appre-
citation gives our parched and weary
spirits some degree of comfort. but
the memory of any want of apprecia-
ton. of the departed, is like a dagger
thrust into the heart, and renders the
soul a chaos. This is the law of COM
pensation. and The result is as inevi-
table as any effect following a given
cause.
offer this as warning 10 those who
have not been, bat will be deprived of
loved ones. None are perfect. and the
more We cultivate smiles, and words
and deeds of kindness. the less will be
the grief when the separation comes
Though out of the ordinary, | am con-
strained to submit this paragraph be-
cause everybody should profit by the
truth herein contained.
find consolation in the fact that the
physical organism is the instrument
through which the spirit, the real, i'm
mortal part Of existence, expresses it,
self. just as the piano is the instrument
through which the musician finds ex
preston. The analogy is perfect. and
the decay or death of the body will no
more destroy the spirit, than the des-
truction of the piano will destroy the
musical talent which fouhd expression
through it.
1t cannot be that an insignificant
grain is buried and reproduces itself,
from an unseen germ, while man, made
in the image of God, is buried and
nothing comes from the grave to rep
resent the spark of Divinity which ami.
mated the body
Reason, nature and Revelation all
prove that the real. true. spiritual part
Of our being never dies. OH Blessed
thought Separated from her but
awhile. Hsppy consolation! Proper
living and spiritual culture will bnng
US together in that Eternal Home.
where the dlscords of earth will be no

Kitchen CDnyendences.

There are many little conveniences
that we can easily add to our kitchen
equipment, TO the great Improvement
Of our health. One of these Is a stool
on which to sit while pairing potatoes
and other things. Another Ia the cleo
trio fan. Just why men folk should
put this in our offices and the women
folk neglect to INSTALL IL in their work
shops Is a mystery yet unsoived. Be
that as II may, it has proved n bless
ing wherever tried
The kitchen cabinet may also prove
a great convenience. 1t must be sani-
tarsly made, SO as to exclude mice and
vermin OF all kinds. Carelessly used,
however the Kitchen cabinet Is open
to this objection. that 1t Is too con-
venient. That fs to say, its various
drawers and receptacles are apt to be-
come catch-all In which will be
thrown a ball OF string and a nutmeg
or two and a box OF toothpicks and
any number of other odds and ends.
II Is seldom cleaned with the result
that dirt accumulates and the real end
OF the cabinet, healthfulness. Is defeat
ed Every part OF the cabinet should
be given thorough and frequent
cleansing.

any housewife. The Same idea has
also been extended to kitchen tables.

Among the firms which he said were
extensively advertising fabrics of cot

Mr.. Cheney mentioned by name one
fniiadelphia concern which he said
were selling certain kind OF goods as
original guaranteed - silk"
Ihese goods, he said have no silk in
tnem whatever, but are made with a
cotton warp with an artificial silk FILL
ing.
Another firm, he said, sold silk top
rubberized rain coats" which are '.made
entirely OF cotton" He mentioned a
number OF articles on the markets. in
Guiding sweaters and hosiery made OF
mercerized cotton or artificial silk. but
sold as silk. Two brands of advertised
sewing six he said were both "mer-
cerized cotton"
Similar misleading advertisements

Cooking.


Nowhere has inventive genius served
the housewife to better advantage than
In the mater Of stoves. Gone Is the
necessity of working all day in a room
rendered unbearably hot by a wood
or coal range, Gas and electricity
have changed all that. Even our rural
districts. many of them, are being
piped with gas, and where gas is not
accessible. gasoline and kerosene
ranges are being adopted. thanks to
the newer type OF stove which oper-
ates with perfect safety. A certain
amount OF timidity still prevails with
reference 10 gasoline. OF course, es-
pecially among people long accustom-
ed to wood or coal, But any woman
can install newer type of high grade
gasoline range with the same assur-
ance she feels toward wood or coal.
The fuels mentioned above obviate
most of the aiscomforts and suffer!ngs
that we used to associate with work
! in . superheated kitchen. But this is
not the end of our modern kitchen
luxuries. We have now. with the aid
OF ingenfus devices. eliminated much
OF the time which the housewife must
spend in keeping her pots and pans
from running over.
One OF the frst to come was the
"fireiess cooker which. save for a
sort OF running start, boiling for Ave
minutes or so over the Are. uses no
fire at all From a mere straw-lined
box. these have developed into ranges
that boil and broil and fry and roast
and oven bake, Fireless cooking Is
based upon an effective conservation
OF the heat generated inside tho uten-
sils--well ldded, by the way--by piac-
ing them In carefully insulated com
