Joanna and the
Family Fate
How the Youngest Baxter
Girl Found Her Mission
By ANNE O'HAGAN
Copyright by Frank A. Munsey Co.

1t was the chief article of the Baxter
family faith that frivolity Ill becomes
a woman. All the sisters of the Rev.
Elijah Baxter had been serious mind
ed-pioneer woman physicians, woman
~coilegians, woman ~suffragists, and the
like. His wife, having no sisters, had
concentrated the earnestness of a
whole family in herself and had
ried the Rev. Elijah, than which no
more conclusive evidence of serious
ness could be imagined.
The Baxter girls up to Joanna had
continued the family tradition fitting
~. Cornelia had gone to Japan to con-
vert the inhabitants Of that island
Kingdom to her fathers creed and had
there married a brother missionary,
Eliza taught mathematics in a western
coeducational college, Sarah was the
travelling delegate for the Society Fol
the Suppression of Smokers, and So
phia had proved her entire spiritual
k1nship with tho Baxters by marrying
a widowed country doctor with seven
small children
When Joanna was born, twelve years
after the youngest Of her sisters, a
baby had been too great a novelty in
the parsonage to escape undue petting.
This fact was held later to account for
much that worried and disheartened
the Baxters.
When Joanna came home from col
lege-she had steadfastly, even rebel
nously, refused to attend the instttu-
ton of learning In which Eliza taught
mathematics-her parents looked at
her with foreboding and at each other
with dismay. From her smart stock
to her smart shoe laces she seemed to
them to radiate worldliness. They
took prompt counsel together concern
ing her reformation. They divided the
labor, having a premonition Of its i'm
mensity.
AFTER you have talked with her Sc
riously about her future" said Mrs
Baxter, Il will speak to her of her
dress. Apparently it has been a great
mistake to let her spend the last two
vacations away from home and to let
her buy her own clothes, but I did 1t
for the best. How shall a young wom-
an learn thrift and self reliance ex-
cept by such methodist"
ABrfng fer to me-" rumbled Joanna's
father.
Joanna loated into the study, all pink
flounces and point d'esprit fchus-

Joanna, your father wishes to talk
seriously to YOU"
IT wish you'd call me 10. All the
girls do" remarked the young woman,
curling a blown strand of her hair
about a lead pencil from her fathers
desk.
The Rev. Elijah said a few words on
the essential vulgarity Of nicknames;

The proper accomplishments for vari-

Roast beef should be FURNISHED sim

celery, button onions, satisfy and the
like. q rich brown gravy should be
served with it. and small, neat squares

Roast mutton should DO garnfshed
with daintlv cnoked touatoes or mush-

with q sprig OF parsley between each,
and red currant jelly should be served
as an accompaniment
Roast lamb should have q properly
prepared cucumber garnish and should
be served with a good brown gravy

more elaborate garnfsh would include

The hot and often muggy days of
summer seem just the ones to devel-
op In certain foods definite bacteria
which cause symptoms of pain, chilli
ness, subnormal temperature and thirst.
These may continue for a somewhat
extended period and are particularly
dangerous because the after effects of
the poisoning are often severe.
Ordinary collie or intestinal fermenta-
ton is not the true poisoning, which
is due to fermentation or imperfect di
gestion.
There are certain foods especially
susceptible to the development of pto-
maines, such as meat, game, fish and
milk or its products. Shellfsh, and par
tcularly clans, are possibly the most
common cause.
But the development Of ptomaines
(Which, by the way near derived
from a dead body") is not due to any
qualities In the foods themselves, but
to lack of care in handling them. Some
persons think that contact with tin or
galvanized surfaces Is the cause, a.
In ice cream. This has not been def
nitely settled. The chief and accepted
Is change of temperature In food
products before they are used and care
less storage either on the part of dealer
or housewife.
In spite of all that has been said on
the subject of care Of the refrigera-
tor, sanitary handling and cleanliness,
many of us are not 100 per cent rigor-
GUS In the way we treat foods be-
fore they reach our table. Probably
the reason why sheIlfsh are most FIRE.
quently the cause Is because these are
very seldom subjected to complete re
frigeration, but are allowed to stand
about In bags In whatever temperature
happens to prevail.
In order to prevent the development
and danger from ptomaines We must
first oversee and insist ON state and
municipal strictness In all handling of
food products, particularly milk. The
second step is so to handle food when
it Is within our own four walls that
our own home conditions cannot en-
courage this poisoning.
Food left lying even a half hour on
the kitchen table, a refrigerator which
registers above 80, unclean utensils
any one of these may be the cause of
the ptomaine developing. Especially
with all canned goods and canned and
smoked meats should we exercise the
greatest care Remove the contents
from a can as o as It is opened.
Place at once in refrigerator or, better,
allow the a to stay In the refrigera-
tor ONE hours before it is opened.
It is worth noting that the bacteria
that develop the ptomaines do not al
ways develop putridity or ~decay-that
is, we a eat a food in a high state Of
preservation and stiIl be subject to pto-
names. Scrupulous care and as per-
feet refrigeration all the way from the
time the food was first handled until
the last are the only preventiveS.

WORK ON MANOA
IMPROVEMENTS
BEGINS SEPT. 6
Contractor Sets Time When He
Will Make Start on
Big Project i.
Work on the Manoa improvement

Work on the Manoa improvements
will start Tuesday, September s.
W. G. Allen, Honolulu represents
tive of F. r. Ritchie, the contractor
declares that as soon as he can get
men and materials together the work
will go ahead with rush. Tuesday
poon the tenders for Manoa bonds
wiil be opened by the city treasurer,
ID. L. Conkling, and Tuesday night
the supervisors will undoubtedly
award them to the highest bidder.
Bishop & Co. and the Bank of Ha-
wall have already signified their in
tention of bidding for the whole issue
and there is possibility of a main
land firm bidding Thus the sale OF
the bonds is assured.
As soon as the resolution awarding
the bonds to the successful bidder has
passed the board, another ordering
the contractor to start work within
Is days will be introduced and passed.
This will give him until September Is.
1T has cost US several thousand dol
lars while waiting for chance to get
to work and l plan not to lose an
other day." said Allen this morning.
81 have my organization practically
all planned now and by the end Of
next week will be ready to go to work
Saturday, Sunday and Labor Day will
intervene and then the dirt will begin
to fly"
He plans to have about 800 men on
the job within few weeks, he says.
A year is allowed for the completion
Of the contract by its terms, but every
effort will be made to cut the time
down.
Mayor Lane and the supervisors are
planning a short ceremony to mark
the beginning of the work, the first
big improvement scheme to be started
by the city under the frontage tax
laws The band will be there and
there will be speeches. Then the
mayor will turn the first spadeful of
earth, or knock the first piece Of old
curbing out of place to make way for
the new, or cut the first guava bush
where street is to be widened-
whatever the first step in the work
is to be. The supervisors will follow,
each taking their turn at the work.
II may be that the ceremony will
be held on Labor Day to give all the
residents of the district an opportu-
nifty to be present at the start of the
work which is to be of such much
benefit to them,
