General Constantine Moscho-

army, and 500 officers have signed :.
a memorial addressed to the King,

it's neutrality in the war. Earlier

BAD HOUSING CAUSES MISERY
New York Tenement Expert Describes
Evil conditions-Living In Small
Place Best After All.

The three great scourges Of man
kind, disease, poverty and crime, are
largely due to bad housing, accord
ing to John J. Murphy, New York's
tenement house commissioner whose
official task 1t Is to study and remedy
as far as possible improper housing
conditions in New York city. Err.
Murphy, who is the only tenement
house commissioner In the United
States, recently had published an ar
ticle on housing conditions, based on
his Investigations In large centers of
population, in which he said:
There can be no question that the
three great scourges Of mankind, dis
ease, poverty and crime, are in large
measure due to bad housing, In It's
broadcast sense. Intemperance In many
of it's most repugnant forms may be
traced to the fact that so many citi-
zens are obliged to live In homes In
which they can take neither pride nor
comfort and which make the saloon
seem desirable by contrast.
bad housing Is especially detri-
mental In its consequences to the chill
dred reared under it's influence. In
many cases the evil influences Of en-
vironment can never be eradicated.

tons for the blind and hospitals for

home conditions. The employee liv-
ing in house inadequately lighted and
ventilated is unable to perform his
task with proper energy and intelli-
gence. Women compelled to live in
such houses develop tendencies to irri-
liability, which frequently lead to fam
lily disruption.
bad housing tends to increase the
tax burdens of community by reQuir-
ing larger expenditures for remedial
service, which might otherwise be elm
mated. The lack of proper cleanliness
and decency In the exterior and inte-
rior of houses tends to reduce the self
respect Of the occupants. Note how
eagerly the family which has even
slightly improved its financial stand
ing seeks buildings with more attrac-
tive exteriors and better decorated
rooms. 1t will also be found that as
families descend in the social scale
one of the pangs most keenly felt is
the necessity for the occupancy of
quarters in buildings whose general ap-
pearance indicates that they are occu-
pied by the miserably poor"

ing they either come so early in the
season that we cut them out and lose
them, or they are published after such
foods are out of season." Right here
it is well to plan a system of caring for
such recipes. Put them carefully in
dexed where you may lay your hand
upon them In the moment of need.
Most Of our publications these days
make 1t important that all recipes
should be published at time when
they can be used at once.
Some women do their work three
times. in anticipation, in realization,
and In retrospection. 1t Is wise to
plan work well, but after 1t Is done let
it be done and improve on the next
piece of work If possible. Men as
a rule are not nervous and unstrung;
more women than men break down
with nerves. One reason is that u
woman's work has more of small de-
tails, she is often called on in emer-
gencies, and her work Is powerful
constant"
l wonder how many people realize
that 1t Is the work they don't do that
1
wears on the nerves. One may by con-
slant application train the mind to let
go when it is time to rest, not turn
things over all night with tired I'M
strung mind and body, making a new
day torture.
1t takes much more ability to inspire
and get work out of others than to
be great worker oneself. The first
is commander. the other, one In the
ranks. Cultivate the ability of getting
work out of others. especially the
young people. They need the train
ing and you need the help. Young
children will work happily with COM
pany, but cannot be expected at first
to take tasks alone and enjoy doing
them.
If the onion bed needs wedding or
the cellar or wood shed needs atten-
ton, get all hands together and make
quick work of it, for many hands do
make light work.

that 1t meant war with Mexico, and

Then he went incoming around for a

and said that he had been mistaken in
his first conclusion about the locust !:
he had decided that he'd read the ini-

wordIess Traffic sion..

Unlettered road signs are being
used to regulate motor-car traffic on
the driveways OF a Fargo, N. D.. park.
Although they do not give motorist
a single word Of instruction or warn
ing, they have served their purposes
efficiently. At best, road signs detract
more or less from the appearance Of
parkway or boulevard. especially
when they are literally signboards.
While those used in Fargo are only a
small Improvement in this respect,
they hold good suggestion. One Of
these signs was recently erected to d.
rect traffic into a Lew artery branch
ing from an old and much-traveled
one. 1t consists Of a white post, at
the top Of which are two arms, the
right one pointing In the direction to

down. Although this means reversal
of the accustomed direction Of travel,

WATCH THE PAINTER AT WORK
Poor Economy In Using shoddy Nate
rial and Cheap Labor Where Looks
Of Homo Are Concerned.

In no branch of the building game is
poor material and workmanship so
common as in exterior painting, says
writer in Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. The architects specifications for
painting generally set forth that
the painting contractor must pro-
vide all the materials Of every descrip-
ton, including ladders, scaffolding,
ropes, brushes. etc, for the proper per-
Torrance of the work in O substantial
and workmanlike manner; all the ma
terials to be of the best of their re-
spective kinds, and all woodwork to
be thoroughly cleaned before being
painted; all nail holes, joints, cracks
and defects in materials to be filed
with putty; all jointed work to be sand
ed smooth before applying the second
coat.
The specifications then itemize what
work is to be done, and how, as fol-
lows: All outside woodwork to be
given a certain number of coats Of
good white lead and linseed oil paint,
mixed to correspond with the color Sc
lected by the owner on outside blinds
or shutters, exterior of sash, window
screens, door screens. outside doors,

roofs and cement work.
The homebuilder should know wheth-

Is to know how to do 1t.

century.oId Diary.

Henry Crabb Robinson In his diary
repeats many stories of the judges,
Lord Eldon and Lord Mansfield among
the rest. The latter, struggling with
a congested calendar, on one occasion
announced that he would hold court
on Good Friday. At once there was
rebellion on the part of the barristers.
Sergeant Davey, with some warmth
and more humor, arose and said !:
There has been no precedent since
the days of Pontius PLATE" Never
theless, Mansfield held court with the
attorneys, and without the barristers.
Another one that deserves to be res
directed from the diary is as follows:
"One day when someone remarked:
christianity is part and parcel Of the
law Of the land Rolfe said to me:
Were you ever employed to draw an
indictment against man for not low

might be put up for winter use that
are never thought of. One frugal wom-
an after putting up all the blueberries
she felt that she could afford, washed
and dried bushel. These when soak
ed In water and sweetened make most
delicious pies and sauce and have kept
perfectly four years or as long as they
are not used. 1t is necessary to care
fully dry them and put them into pa
per sacks or bags that are dust and
insect proof.
Wild grapes are the greatest of
roadside prizes and many are the ways
they may be preserved for the winter
table.
For green grape jam. pick the grapes
just before they begin to turn. Halve
and seed them If you want delicious
conserve and mix equal parts of sugar
when cooking. A few pint jars of
these will SO delight your friends that
you will forget the labor of preparing
them. For jelly, wait until they are
beginning to turn. then you will have
a most beautiful color. If too ripe
the jelly is not nearly as good In color
and may lack the pectin found in the
greener grapes.
Spiced grapes make another way of
varying this delicious fruit; use this
when you are serving venison, and be
thankful for such favors.
When everything else has been done
with grapes that you can think of, put
up few bushels in the form of grape
juice. No more delicious drink can be
offered the parched and tired traveller
than glass Of grape juice with tin
king ice.
The elderberry is another fruit that
need not be overlooked Make a pie
and add bit of vinegar or a few green
grapes to the pie to give it zest and
you will surely make another very
soon.

spoonfuls of salt, one tablespoonful of
sugar and four teaspoonfuls of baking
powder. Sift all together. Cut into
this four tabIespoonfuls of cold hard
butter, using two case kniyes, one in
each hand; then moisten with one and
third cupfuls of milk. This amount
may vary little, as -four varies in
moisture. Lard and water may be
substituted for the butter and milk,
but at a sacrifice of delfcacy.

brown sugar for change in flavor:

For maple rolls prepare them in the
same way. substituting maple sugar for
the white or brown. Honey and
lemon peeling grated is another flavor

Most delicious pin wheels are made
by using various kinds Of fruit and
spices. mixed and sprinkled over the
buttered roll. Dates. figs, raisins and
nuts singly or in combination with
spice. orange peel, lemon peel. citron,
cherries and any kind of preserved
fruit may be used to vary this little
cake. Bake as above.

diers asking that their side of the
story be printed.
Hundreds Of these letters are mas
terpieces, their extreme length pre-
venting publication. Each and every
one invariably upholds the dignity of
the soldier and his calling. Each
frankly expresses the loneliness of the
writer, enduring hardships far away
from those at home who love him, and
signing wistfully for the companion

In every flock there is usually to be
found one black sheep. In every regi-

not be judged by the follies of this
one.
The country's call struck deep into

sons of great merchants, aye, and of
money kings, men whom parents
would be sincerely pleased to have
their daughters receive attentions
from, no doubt, if they could but sim

homes of luxury to enter army life,
anxious to know the rough and hard
side Of life and profit thereby.

soldier she would not get the chance
to mary me for my fortune"
This is but one case among thou

showing hospitality to young soldiers,
many family on the border might be
entertaining angels unawares. Don't

women will flock. Such girls should
be held under strict surveillance and
discipline. These are of the kind who
love exciting danger and will perish in
