The Useful Lemon

Be very grateful when "handed
lemon" for it has many uses in the
sickroom, the kitchen, round the
house and in milady's chamber.
The juice from half lemon in half
of a glass Of water before breakfast
will correct the most torpid livef and
prevent bilious troubles.
For hoarseness, lemon and sugar
will prove helpful and pleasant to take
and will cure sore throat when used
as a gargle.
In fever the lemon is cooling and
of great value for moistening the lips
and cleansing the tongue.
Two or three slices of lemon in a
cup of strong, hot tea, often will cure
a nervous headache and refresh the
mind and body.
A spoonful of lemon juice in a cup
of black coffee frequently will cure
bilious headache.
An outward application Of lemon
will allay irritation caused by insect
bites.
If teaspoonful Of lemon juice is
added to boiling rice or sage, the kerr
nels will be whittier and have more
delicate flavor.

Egg Shells Are of Value

Many people imagine that when an
article is cast into the dustbin its
days are ended. This, however, is
not so, for all the contents of dust
carts are carefully sorted as they
are emptied, anything of value being
put aside. Disregarding things such
as scissors, knives, ETC., many COR
porations are making a big profit
out of their "dust." You wouldn't
think that there would be any value
in egg shells, yet every year as many
as 400 tons are required in the manu-
facture of so-called kid gloves, and
also in printed calico.
Corks, too, are valuable item, for
they sell to manufacturers at the
rate of nine cents a pound, and in a
year no fewer than 100000 worth
are thrown away.
Cycles suffer a number hardships
before they reach an absolute end.
Old tires are bought at quite a good
price by manufacturers for the rub
Der on them-inner tubes are espec-
tally valuable-and go to make rub
Der mats and cheap rubber toys. The
frame supplies gasftters with short
lengths of tube, and the rest of the
machine is melted down to make a
fresh iron article.

Conserve Natural Resources

Congress is about to decide, in the
session which opens December A,
whether natural resources belonging
to the people, and officially valued
at hundreds Of millions of dollars,
shall or shall not be given away to
certain special interests which are
already rich enough. Unless the
people take a hand the decision is
sure to go against them.
The iniquitous Shields waterpower
bill has passed the Senate. 1t makes
present of the public waterpowers
on our navigable streams to the wa
terpower interests. The power thus
handed over without compensation is
estimated at sixty million horsepow-
err, or double the power of every kind
now used to run every train, trolley,
factory, shop, mill, boat, mine, and
electric light in the United States.
While the grant is ostensibly limit
ed to fifty years, it is in fact per-
petual, because the conditions under
which the people might regain con-
troll of their property are made pro-
hibitory, as even advocates of the
bill frankly admit. In practical eff
feet a perpetual monopoly is given
away for nothing.
Another vicious measure is the
Myers bill, which does for water
power on public lands what the
Shields bill does on navigable
streams. The two are cut from the
same piece of cloth, and have the
same interests behind them. The
Myers bill is on the Senate calendar,
and will be considered early in the
coming session.
These two bills give away public
property to powerful monopolists.
That is bad enough, but the oil land
provisions of the Phelan bill are even
worse. This bill will be taken up
Immediately when Congress convenes
1t disposes of vast areas of public
oil lands on terms unfair to the pub
lie. 1t is almost unbelievable, but
this measure actually gives away the
fuel oil reserves of the United States
Navy to claimants whom the Supreme
court recently declared TO have nc
legal rights whatever. The efficiency
of the Navy, our first and most i'm
portant line Of National defense, is
to be sacrificed to the profits of the
Standard Oil company, the Santa Ft
railroad interests, and a few other
claimants, who want what they have
no right to get.

Better Teachers for Rural Schools

Better Teachers for Rural Schools
No man of prominence has ever
emphasized the value and Importance
of professionally trained teachers
with better logic than did J. Sterling
Morton, Secretary of Agriculture in
President Cleveland's cabinet, when
he said:
1--WE demand educated educators.
We demand professionally trained
teachers, men and women of ire
proachable character and well-tested
abilities. We demand from our leg
islature laws raising the standard of
the profession and exalting the office
Of the teacher. AS the doctor of
medicine or the practitioner at law
is only admitted within the pale of
calling upon the production of his
parchment or certificates, so the ap-
plicant for the position of instructor
in our primary and other schools
should be required by law to first pro-
duce his diploma, his authority to
teach, from the normal schools.
"We call no uneducated quack or
charlatan to perform surgery upon
the bodies of our children lest they
may be. deformed, crippled, and
manned physically all their lives. Let

development of the mental faculties
to skilled instructors of magnanimous
character that the mentalities of our
children may not be mutilated, de-
formed, and crippled to halt and limp
through all the centuries of their
never-ending lives. The deformed
body will die, and be forever put out
of sight under the ground, but mind
made monstrous by bad teaching does
not, but stalks among the ages, an
immortal mockery of the divine
image"
This plea Of Mr.. Morton's for pro-
fessionally trained teachers was made
the platform of the first national
conference on teacher training for
rural schools which met at Chicago
in September, 1914, in its nationwide
campaign for professionally trained
teachers. j. L. McBrien,

WOMAN AND HOME


Good health is the natural heritage
of every individual. The wise person
will not be sick, for he persistently
needs the laws of nature. Nature in
tends the human machinery to run
smoothly, without jolt or friction;
and when either from accident or ig-
norance, this delicate mechanism
lacks harmony, then pain, ill-health
and consequent unhappiness result.
Compensation is the law of life and
once this law is abused, the human
body pays high toll for the infringe
ment. Why not get the health habit

Brown Apple Sauce.-No one who
has eaten apple sauce baked in a
stone-covered dish in the oven for

ward the last of the cooking and the
delicious amber sauce, full of flavor,
will melt in the mouth.
Cranberry Jelly Tarts.-Prepare

rings, bake the crusts and on the

Labor Leaders Denounce Saloon

LABOR Leaders DenOunce Saloon
John b. Lennon, treasurer Ameri-
can Feredation of Labor:
II have been criticized for my fight
against the saloon, but / give notice
here and now that l will fight the
traffic as long as there is a saloon
left. There are too many people in
the world who are afraid to tackle
the saloon. To many men and wom-
en- are going down the stream of de-
graduation for me to keep silent.
ITO the trades unionist, there is
no redeeming feature in the saloon.
Go anywhere its influence is felt and
you see the decentralization it brings.
We are fighting for social well-being,
civic benefits and moral uplift."
John Mitchell, vice president of the
American Federation of Labor, and
chairman Of the State Industrial
Commission Of New York, says:
eff brewry is closed down, in its
place springs up a factory. If sa-
loon is closed down, in its place
comes a store. 1t is simply a pro-
cess well known to union men, the
same process as follows the intro
duction Of machinery. 1t is a re-
adjustment, a changed condition of
society. Almost every disturbance
in the ranks of organized labor can
be traced back to some connection
with the saloon"
"In various ways and on many oc-
casions the evil influence of the sa-
loon has been recognized and point
ed out by the labor unions of the
United States. While the liquor in
terests have sought to convey the i'm
preston that there was some COM
mon interest between trade unionism
and the manufacture and sale of in
toxicants, this suggestion is repealed
on every occasion when the matter
is presented to the labor men in its
true light and when the malign pur-
pose of the liquor interests is expos
ed to view"

them. Here is another kind Of apple
dumping: Make rich biscuit dough,
roll thin and cut into six-inch squares.
Into the center of each place three or
four thin slices of good cooking ap-
pies and fold the dough around them
forming a ball. Arrange these balls
in deep baking dish, cover with a
cupful of brown sugar, a cupful OF
boiling water and two tablespoonfuls
of butter; bake in a slow oven for an
hour.
Apple Omelet-Stew six large APP
pies. Beat very smooth while hot,
adding one tablespoonful of butter,
six tablespoonfuls of sugar, a grating
of nutmeg and half teaspoonful of
rose extract. When entirely cold add
four eggs, beaten very light, first
adding the yolks, then folding in the
whites, put into a deep dish which
has been warmed and buttered. Bake
in a moderateovent delicate brown.
Apples Cooked With Pork Roast
Core and peel half dozen medium
sized apples, stuff with bread crumbs
and raisins, finely chopped, and place
around the roast; basting the apples
when the meat is basted will give
them a fine brown color and good
flavor. Serve as a garnish to the
pork roast.
New Apple Pie.-Peel, cut in slices
four tart apples; put into a saucepan
with just enough water to show be-
meath the top layer, cover and cook
rapidly till tender. While hot, add
one-half cupful of sugar, one-half
teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful
of melted butter and teaspoonful or
two of lemon juice, unless the apples
are very tart. Stir well and add three
fourths of cupful Of crumbs, let
stand until they have absorbed all
the juice, then pour into baked shell
and cover with meringue or with
sprinkling of brown sugar. Set in
the oven until the sugar is melted to
