SCIENTIFIC COOKING
FOR women OF HOMES
Club Members Offered Services of
Professional Instructors.

Women's clubs of Washington are this
winter offered something new in the way
OF a program for their. meetings by a
local domestic science school. The new
idea Is as practical as IT is new. a
Cemonstrator from the school will at
tend the club meeting and give a lecture
demonstration. The club may choose the
subject to be handled from a different
subject for each meeting during the
season. II it is not desired to make the
Observation-Disclosures a permanent fea-
ture they may be had for one or for any
number Of meetings.
Salads. soups. desserts. sandwiches and
potatoes are a few of the dishes to be
demonstrated. There will be actual dem
constructions with scientific explanations.
Miss Elizabeth Dubois Bache, origin
Rtor of the idea and principal of the
Washington School OF Domestic Arts and
Sciences, says the purpose is to give the
women of the home, who had no Op-
pOrtunity to attend a domestic science
school. an opportunity to learn the new
science Of domestic arts, that they may
supply their families with better pre-
pared and more appetizing food. But
one subject is to be treated al a meeting.
If the subject chosen is fish or fancy
bread and biscuits. or any one of the
large list. the demOnStratOr will take
the subject up in detail, explaining all
phases from artistic. scientific and prac-
tiCal points of view. The dish will be
made in the home Of one of the club
members at each meeting.
This is said to be the first opportunity
of this kind offered in Washington.
Queries have been received, since the
opening of the school last Wednesday,
by Miss Bache on how to form cooking

''There are many schools today that
Dher courses in domestic science along
with other studies" said Miss Bache,
''hut there seems to he a crying demand
for information along this line by the
women in the homes who attended school
before the courses In domestic science
were Introduced. It Is these women We
Intend to reach"

Swindler Failed.

Down in Boone the other day a
man hired a small boy to take a ten
dollar check to a store to get it
cashed. The check was signed by
w. J. Anderson and was drawn on
the First National Bank at Omaha.
The mar told the boy to return with
the money to a certain place. The
storekeeper became suspicious and
refused to cash the check and after
Questioning the lad sent for an Of
ficer. Together the boy and officer
went to the place where the mar
said he would be, but he lad disap-
peared. Evidently he had watched
the boy to see if he got the money
and became scared when he saw an
officer in company with the lad. Ev.

Here Wednesday Evening.

The Peculiar Comedian, ". b
Patton, will present his new play
LAZY Bill' at the armory opera
house on Wednesday night, Oct
18th. Mr.. Patton needs no introduc'
ton to local theater patrons, as hi
has been seen here for many sea
sons in his various productions ant
has many friends and admirers
''The Minister'S Son." "The Las
Rose of Summer" 1.-The Slow Poke
and "The Blockhead," are still fSesf
in the minds Of many who appreci
ate plays of human interest.
Unlike most stars with reputa'
lions, Mr.. Patton takes unusual care
in selecting his supporting company
which perhaps is the reason that al
of the characters in his plays stant
out to advantage.
The peculiar characters which Mr.
Patton portrays are Of those home
ly, honest, big hearted, lovablt
types, which very few artists arr
able to handle successfully without
exaggeration.
Lazy Bill" is a play with a pc
culiar theme which develops intense
interest and grips the heart. Ye'
through it all runs a vein Of quaint
humor. It's scenes are laid IN small
town in upper New York state ant
the story is woven around the char
acter of DR.. Bill Hale, a country
physician, known by everyone a!
Lazy Bill, but who, in reality, ha!
much skill when he feels disposed
to use it, and which is amply proven
before the play ends.

Justice to the Messenger.

Sioux City Journal: A friend OF
the Fort Dodge Messenger has filed
"a protest against an injustice done
that newspaper. The primary often
der, according to this protestant, is
the Cedar Falls Record, which re-
Gently went on record with the state
ment that when the Messenger came
out for Meredith it was 'the first
time within the memory Of man that
the Messenger ever had the nerve to
take a stand for anything, good, bad
or Indifferent" A secondary often
der was the Webster City Freeman
Tribune, which fastened to congrat-
ulate the Messenger for at last "find-
ing the courage to take sides on
something" The Messengers next
friend insists that its declaration for
Meredith was not the first time the
Fort Dodge newspaper succeeded in
getting hold Of some convictions and
mastering courage to display them.
Reminder is offered that 1t was not
more than seven or eight years ago
that the Messenger attracted atten-
ton throughout the length and
breadth Of the Tenth congressional
district by its manly and courageous
stand in favor Of the proposal to
swat the fly" Fairness is none too
conspicuous in the present super
heated political atmosphere. In the
interest Of fairness The Journal is
glad to see that the Record is cor
rected to give its Fort Dodge con-
temporary credit for its full contri-
button toward a dryer and otherwise
more sanitary Iowa.

FIRST REST ROOM
IN WEBSTER CITY
Established by the Woman's Chris
tan Temperance Union Thirty
Five Years Ago.

Mrs. Will r. Smith, now of Des
Moines, writes the following con-
corning the establishment of a rest
room in Webster City:
I>have been reading with increas-
ling interest the discussion owe the
rest room in Webster City. This
has started some "reminiscences. I
remember the idea Of a public rest
room originated in the minds of the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union t%hirty-ive years ago.
Mrs. B. F. Derr was president Of
our organization, Mrs. B. F. Miller,
vice president; Mrs. j. W. Evans,
treasurer; Mrs. Martha Fairchild.
recording secretary, and the writer
corresponding secretary. We met
one day and after prayerful consid-
|eration decided to open a public rest
room, which was to serve as a sort
of social center for the community.
We secured the small frame build
ing just west OF the Grand Central
hotel, from j. M. Funk, paying $40
per month rent. The rooms were
comfortably furnished, largely by
donations from friends. We also Sc
cured many good books in the same
way and with the purchase of some
new ones conducted a circulating
library which was generously pat
|ronized by the public. Once a week
we held a social, or open house. At
this time the young people of the
town and the people in general
crowded the rooms for a good social
time. Refreshments were served
and a program Of music, readings
and games furnished, which was en-
joyed by all.
We conducted this rest room for a
number of years, seeking in that
way to provide, not only a rest
room, but a place for u boys and
young people to come to. that we
might furnish a counter attraction
away from the saloons which infest-
ed Seneca, Second and Des Moines
streets in those days, AMI were IL
censed to sell without restriction.
Evenings the town "a almost in
total darkness excepting for a few
kerosene street lamps and the glar-
two ;oEf of tho GALLON
There was always a light in our
little rest room, kept burning by the
faithful matron, Mrs. Martha Fair
child, who served several years and
was followed by Mr.. and Mrs. James
Trealor, whom many of the older
citizens will remember.
I could but contrast the Webster
City Of long ago with that of today.
With her magnificent library, beau
"tifully lighted streets, the fine rest
room and best of all, freed from the
accursed saloon.
About three years ago the W. c.
r. U. at a meeting in Kendall Young
library decided to open a rest
again and appointed a committee to
confer with the council and COM
mercial league-Mrs. w. ;. litter
ell, Mrs. Alexander Groves and the
writer, through whose efforts and
the cooperation of the council and
league the present rest room was es-
tablished. Yes, the idea of the rest
room originated in the minds of the
w. c. r. U. and we shall be happy
to know Of it's continuance, as Web
ster City cannot afford to take a
step backward on the road of prog
ress. Very truly,
Mrs. Will F.. Smith.
