 reference to the league. The letter
 bears the signatures of men high in
 the political, commercial and re-

 speak upon this theme this morning.
 The call finds me not wholly unpre-
 pared. s Although I cannot pose as an
 expert, on this subject, it has been
 a matter of interest to me for more
 than decade, and many special cir

 me into touch with the subject and
 to make it a matter for serious con-
 sideration at frequent intervals.
 What is the League to Enforce
 Peace? How did it come to being 9" These questions naturally arise We quote from a pamphlet of the league in answer to the latter question: The league platform embodies ideas on world reorganization after the war that were put forward spontaneously 1 at about the same time in this and 1 other countries. It Is not the pro- l posal of a single man or company of men. Representative groups of | statesmen and publicists here and
 abroad held conferences on the sub 1 ject through periods covering many
 months, the conclusions of which | when made public, were in practical | agreement. A committee of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States embodied nearly identical views in report which was submitt- ed to it's constituent members. In dividuals in several countries both in official and in private life suggest ed programs substantially identical which are now being urged by or ganized effort. This spontaneity gives it an inevitable character and signi- Dfeance which guarantee it's wisdom fsand timeliness.

Steele, it was voted to have the finance com mittee devise ways and means for rais- ing the amount and present report at the adjourned meeting, which will be held Sunday, June 4, at 4 o'clock.

 Sunday School Report
 Mrs c. R. Atwood, superintendent of the Sunday school, reported there are three sessions held every week, on Sunday afternoon and evening and Wednesday evening. The policy has been to receive only those who are sent by the Lord, and no entertain ments of any kind are offered. Many families of Protestant faith have moved from the neighborhood and many students withdrew, when in formed that dancing, card-playing and theaterg going would not be counten- anced. For these reasons the attend ance was not as large as in former years, but those remaining proved very faithful and it is considered that the past year was very successful. Through contributions in the mite box famil- ies in need were given clothing at Thanksgiving and Christmas. On the latter day, the story of the life of Christ was told and refreshments were served. Mrs. Atwood expressed confidence that the work of the com ing year will be even more successful than that of it's predecessor.

We may strive to maintain a proud isolation-the re- suit will be militarisation by com pulsion; for no nation can get it's ors in large numbers except by com pulsory laws. The alternative is for us to stand forth boldly and confi- dently in favor of world co-opera tion The sad plight of post-bel- lum Europe will lead to the needing of the call to union.

PERFECTION IN THE KITCHEN
One Secret of Successful Cooking Is
Having Proper Materials With
Which to Work.

Most housekeepers have wondered
at times why there is "a touch about
the best hotel cooking that amateurs
can seldom get. 1t is not because the
materials are superior or the recipes
exclusive: home cooking can be better
than hotel cooking so far as that is
concerned. 1t is partly due to the
very simple factor of heat and cold.
In the hotel kitchen everything is hot
that should be hot, and everything
that should be cold is just off the ice.
The home kitchen may not be proVid-
ed with huge refrigeratOrs. warming
tanks, and plate racks heated by
steam. but that is no reason for not
being up to date. Enamel double boil
ers an enameled bain-marie, even an
enameled saucepan or frying-pan or
baking dish set in the top of ket-
tie of boiling water. will keep any sort
of dish hot without its being dried or
scorched. And they are far easier to
keep clean than the elaborate copper
and nickel fittings of the hotel.
The other thing in which the chef
is apt to be superior is in the use of
complex f1avors in soups and sauces.
and here again his creations can be RI
vailed with enameled soup-kettles and
double boilers. The one thing that
even some good cooks need to learn is
that the longer and slower the process
of blending flavors the more perfect Is
the blend.

Silk From Sawdust.

Making artificial silk from sawdust
and other lumber waste is the latest
experiment of the United States forest
products laboratory at Madison, Wis.
The use of artificial silk made direct
ly from wood is increasing by leaps
and bounds. Originally its principal
use was in the manufacture of braids
and trimmings, but recently the manu-
facture Of hose from artificial silk has
become an industry of vast impor-
lance. Other uses for artificial silk
are woven goods of all kinds, Innings.
tapestries, ETC., neckties, ribbons,
sweater coats, etc. About 100000
pounds of artificial silk are used an
nually in the United States. There
are several methods of manufacture,
but that from wood pulp is usually
made by treating the wood pulp with
caustic I've to form viscose, which
is allowed to age for some time. 1t
is then forced through dies to form
threads, which are hardened by a
treatment with sulphuric acid, ammo
MUM sulphate, and sodium borate, or
formic acid After washing and dry
ing, the silk is ready for USE The
laboratory is Investigating the arti-
fetal silk problem as possibility for
utilizing wood waste, and has on hand
a variety of articles made from the
material-Boston Transcript.

Finds Diamonds In Sea.

A story of a package of diamonds
worth e100 (s5O0 found floating in
the North sea by one of the crew of a
British mine sweeper was told i'll
London police station by deckhand,
Walter Gleason, who had been ar
rested while trying to dispose of the
gems.
At the police station the deckhand
confessed that while on trawler
which was engaged in the hazardous
task of gathering up mines in the
North sea he saw a package floating
in the water. He got it with a boat
hook and when he opened it he found
% polished and Is unpublished gems.
The deckhand attempted, in company
with a friend, to sell the diamonds to
a jeweler at Cardiff. There was moth
ing on the package to indicate the
owner or how the diamonds came to
be floating about in the mine strewn
waters of the North sea.

BEST DIET FOR CHILD
ADVICE OF SPECIALISTS OF SU-
REAU AT WASHINGTON.
Preparations of Meat. Fish, Eggs, and
Meat Substitutes Recommended
Almost innumerabie Variety
of Stews Is Possible.

The following directions for the use
of meat. fish. eggs, and meat substi-
tutes in the diet of child three to
six years of age are taken from Farm
ers' Bulletin No. III, Food for Young
Children prepared by specialists OF
the office of home economics, United
States department of agriculture
BroiIing and roasting are the best
methods of preparing tender meat
Tough meat should be stewed or pre-
pared in a fireless cooker. or hrst
chopped and then broiled. 1t is very
important to teach the very young
child to chew meat properly.
Fried meats, particularly those
which are pan fried or. cooked in
small amount of fat. should not be
given to young children. One reason
for this is that they are likely to he
overlooked and tough, at least on the
outside, and so are likely not to be
properly chewed and to be swallowed
in large pieces. Another reason is
that the fat used in frying and also
that which tries out of the meat is
likely to be scorched and changed in
composition. When this Is the case,
it is almost certain to be harmful
Some recipes for cooking meat for
children follow:
Many cuts of meat too tough to be
broiled whole may be prepared very
satisfactorily by being chopped, salt
ed and broiled. Allow about one-half
teaspoonful of salt to pound OF meat.
For very little children the meat
should be scraped instead of being
chopped. for in this way the connec-
tive tissue is taken out. An egg or
little milk may also be added. The
most important point is careful han
ding, for if the meat is pressed to-
gether it becomes tough and hard. II
a wire broiler is used. the cakes
should not be squeezed between the
two sides. To avoid this, lay them
on top of the broiler and turn them
with a knife and fork.
Stews made out of meat and veget-
ables offer very great variety of
dishes good in themselves and good

Love for the Worker.

Venerable to me is the hard hand;
crooked, coarse, wherein, notwith-
standing, lies a cunning virtue, indie
feasibly royal, as of the scepter of this
planet. Venerable. too, is the rugged
face. all weather tanned, besoiled,
with it's rude intelligence; for 1t is
the face of man living manlike. o,
but the more venerable for thy rude
ness, and even because we must pity
as we'll as love thee. Hardly entreat-
ed brother. For us was thy back so
bent for us were thy straight limbs
and fingers so deformed. Thou vert
our conscript, on whom the lot fell,
and fighting our battles vert so
married. For in thee, too, lay Cod
created form, but 1t was not to be un
folded: incrusted must 1t stand with
the thick adhesions and defacements
of labor; and thy body, like thy soul,
was not to know freedom. Yet toll on,
toll on: thou art in thy duty, be out
of it who may; thou toilest for the
altogether indispensable - for daily
bread.-Carlyle in "Sartor Resartus."
