Making a Character
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

"For strong character-bold de-
sign, constant practice, frequent mis-
takes" says an old writer.
To the weakling that offers no sug-
gestions for strength when first he
reads it-but il he thinks at all he
must see that il offers every promise
OF growth.
Nothing can be done without plan.
From writing an essay to building a
house there is always needed an out
line--a plan. One has to take stock
of ones material and the use to which
one intends putting it.
Suppose you mean to be school
teacher--your training and education
have to be along the lines that will
cradle you to have tn, necessary
knowledge and the knowledge of how
to impart it.
Child psychology, pedagogy, and
the modern scholastic methods must
b. added to your education, You
have to plan your training definitely
it'll something definite in view
So for whatever you want to do or
believe you have to have plan or
design bravely conceived and strongly
mapped out.
Once you have decided on a plan
Of living, you must test it. One has
to live fully and strongly every day
One cannot idly waste hours and days
and shilly-shally over decisions and
back away from actually carrying on,
ones schemes. Instead, one has to
put into use the conceptions of life
one has formed. So much, any one
who thinks at all will readily concede
is needed for the formation Of charac.
ter. But at frequent mistakes" many
OF my readers will balk.
And yet it is out OF blundering tina,
the strongest character evolves most
Of its strength! When you blunder
you get the measure of your own
potentialities.
Let us apply this very simply Sup
pose you are an athlete, with the am

service to the community. 80 with
household conveniences. The house
wife should have as ideal arrange
ments as possible, as many labor
saving devices as possible, so that she
may save her energy and her strength
for companionship with her family
and for service to her community.
In this new department we shall
discuss food values and general prin-
ciples OF cooking from time to time.
If every housewife could only realize
that the art OF cooking is based on
real principles-and they are not
many in number-principles, which
once mastered, give feeling of as
surance, no matter what new recipes
are triedl We shall discuss new
ideas and equipment for kitchens and
labor saving devices for housework
in general. Topics relating to House
Sanitation and Household Manage
ment will also be treated.
But where this department hopes
to be of special service to the women
readers of The Bee is in furnishing
a place where the women of Omaha
and Nebraska can talk over house
hold matters with each other and
with the editor. We will answer
any questions relating to Home Eco
nomics and we shall be more than
glad to receive any suggestions. The
exchange columns of women's maga-
zines ares very valuable, but, after
all, we can help each other more be-
cause we all live in the same COM
munity and meet the, same local
problems. From time to time we
shall mention household problems

Keepirg of Recipes.

"Where do you get most OF the re-
cipes that you use. And how do you
keep them'"
A century ago you would have an
swered the first question. From my
mother and grandmother and friends.
Nowadays you may say, From St
and-Sos cook book, and mother al
grandmother. Also from the new.
papers and magazines" Our source
of recipes have increased in these late
DAYS, but we still rely upon mothe
and grandmother" to some extent.
The answers to the second question
would show greater changes. Form
erly, you would have kept beautl-
fully written book in which one recipe
followed another in more or less un
concern as to order. Our present plai
is worthy of the title, system. /,
is device borrowed from the busi
ness world where modern efficiency
has introduced the filing cabinet. The
up-to-date housewife has recipe care
catalogue to which she adds new
recipes as she finds them, and test:
them out. The catalogue consists OF
a wooden or pasteboard box contain
ing blank cards and heading division
cards. These division cards are some
times printed with the words bread,
cakes" etc, or these titles may be
written on them. One division card
may be labelled "untested recipes,
and all newspaper clippings, ETC., may
be slipped into that division, until the
housewife has tried9them out per-
sonally. After she finds recipe ac,
curate, she copies it onto blank card
and files it under its proper heading
The recipes are arranged alphabeti-
cally in each division.
The advantages of this system are
quite obvious. There is no tonfu-
sion in finding recipes; new cards
may always be slipped into their pro
per places, and in using the recipe
cards, one avoids the inconvenience
of having book open on the work
table. Newspaper clippings may be
pasted onto the cards, and one wo-
mans magazine, at present. prints all
its recipes in the correct form to be
cut out and mounted on standard fl
ing cards. s
Recipe filing cabinets, such as de-
scribed above, may be purchased al
any stationer,s for from rs cents to 81

The words which / have here
quoted were written by Ellen H.
Richards, whose name stands above
all others whenever home economics
is mentioned. In this new department
which we are beginning today, we
shall try to follow the spirit OF Mrs.
Richards words. In all of our talks,
and in the discussions which | hope
we may have, we hope never to lose
sight of the fact that all improve
ments in living conditions, better
food, better clothing, better housing,
are merely a means to an end; name
ly, we are really striving to produce a
better race. Sometimes we get so
caught in the mesh Of mechanical i'm
proyements that, we completely lose
their real significance. We all ought
to be intelligent cooks, not only for
the sake OF setting a good meal on
he table, but because people who
are properly fed have better chance
for health and thus can be of more

speaker at this point. Mr. Kennedy
wondered how it was possible for the
democratic senator from Nebraska to
vote for these measures at the ex-
pense of the state which sent him
to Washington. He said that he
would not promise to do more for
one section than another, if elected,
but that he certainly would vote the
same benefits to his own state that
he voted to another section, and that
if the protective tariff of the republic
can party was applied to the south
by the democratic congress it ought
also to be applied equally to the
north. Protection is as good for the
north as for the south he said. He
spoke also for the state and national

Try This If You
Have Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails to
remove dandruff completely and that is to
dissolve IL. This destroys it entirely. To
do this, Just get about four ounces of plain.
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when
retiring: use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning. most il not all, of your dand-
ruff will be gone, and three or four more
applications will completely dissolve and en-
tirely destroy every single sign and trace
of it, no matter how much dandruff you may
have. h0-
You will find. too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop instantly. and
your hair will be fluffy. lustrors. glossy.
silky and soft, and look and feel hundred
times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. II Is inexpensive. and four ounces is
all you will need. This simple remedy has
never been known to fail.-Adyertisement.

KENNEDY CHEERED
BY OLD SOLDIERS
Veterans at Milford Applaud
Candidates Reference to
Dem Mexican Policy.
APPRECIATE TALK OF WAR

Milford, Neb., Oct. S-(Special.)
To an audience including, nearly
hundred aged, but young spirited
veterans of one or more American
wars, John L. Kennedy, republican
candidate for United tSates senator,
delivered an address here yesterday
at the Masonic hall. He stated that
the democratic pres would like to
make this a campaign of persons
rather than of principle, but he add
ed that if it could not be a campaign
of principle he would like to see it
made a campaign of patriotism.
The meeting was presided over by
General J. H. Culver, retired, the hero
of three wars, and his well-chosen re-
marksof introduction and the, speech
of Mr.. Kennedy were interrupted by
repeated applause and cheers from
an enthusiastic audience. John Stultz
of Milford, republican candidate for
the state senate and J. c. Pietri of
Germantown, republican candidate for
county treasurer, spoke briefly on To-
cal questions.
Keeping Out of War.
"They tell us that Wilson kept us
out of war;" Mr.. Kennedy remarked.
Thereupon a ripple of laughter ran
over the audience and number of
the veterans of the Grand Army OF
the Republic laughed outright. Others
called, How about Vera Cruz?"
who caught Villa2" and similar ex-
pressions. Mr.. Kennedy stated that
no European power or group of
powers had wanted to go to war with
the United States and the United
States surely had not desired war
with any European power, and that
it was hard to see how any president
could have done less. After the
speech, old soldiers in great numbers
remarked that if we had not been
having useless war with Mexico it
was really hard to define war.
How Democrats Voted.
Mr.. Kennedy examined the list OF
claims made by the democratic con-
gress and showed that of the votes
cast against beneficial bits of legisla-
ton had all been cast by democrats,
an dthat the last congress had been
of the south, Of which the comittees
are under the control of the south,
and the legislation peculiarly for the
benefit of the south and at the ex-
