Little New Year.
BY KATHERINE FAITH.

The old, old Year goes out at the door,
But the little New Year comes in;
And to take the place of the sQuan-
dered days
There's Year just about to begin
He's dear little chap, is the small
New Year,
And deep in his eyes of blue
Is the promise Of all the JOY that life
Is holding in store for you.
Health's shining there-lf you'll cross
your heart
To live with wise discretion
And then follows Sleep, and then fol-
lows Play,
And Love joins the dim procession.
And trailing behind are the ghosts of
the years
That wait on the Grown-Up Shore.
And haunt all the paths of After-a-
While
That lead to the Futures door.
The New Year stands on his tippytoes
And puts in your two brown hands
The reins of his steeds, CAN and
WILL
To drive through the deep life sands.
And hard he stares with his wistful
eyes,
Wond'rlng If you'll get through
And hoping that all of the dreams he's
dreamed
viii have the good taste to come
true.

New Year.
BY RAY I. HOFFMAN,.

Gaze forth on the bright, shining sun
of tomorrow,
Think not of the faults and mistakes
Of the past,
Nor drink from the gall favored goblet
of SORROW
Take one backward look and let that
be your last.
The old year has gone and the new is
before us,
The road to the future is open to
you,
So mingle your voice with the Joy
swelling chorus
And heed to the call of the year that
Is new;
Away with the thoughts and the words
pessimistic,
The wrongs of the past and the
things that annoy;
But substitute action and deeds opti-
mistic
And anchor yourself in the harbor
of Joy.

The slogan of all should be "Dolng or

Just swing into line with a good run

Forget all things past that are border
ed with sadness.
Retain only that which is wholesome
and sweet;
oh may the new year be o'erfowing
with gladness-
A gladness unstinted, minutely COM
plete.
So keep straight ahead on the new
opened highway,
The sunshine Is bright and the sky
is clear blue;
Retrace not the past's narrow, rough
ened old byway,
But travel the road of the year that
Is new.

TART anew this morning with a

IL waste no moment whining and
my heart shall know no fear.

paths that must tread.

another moves ahead.

to prove my own;

DASHEEN, NEW FOOD,
BOON TO HOUSEWIVES
U. S. Expert to Demonstrate
Variety Of Uses for
Tropical Vegetable
SIMILAR TO THE POTATO

Dasheen, a new food from the tropics
that has n delicious nutty taste and can be
prepared In as many ways as a potato,
will be introduced to Philadelphia house
wives on Friday afternoon by the United
States Department of Agriculture through
the Civic Club which will hold a meeting
for that purpose IN the rooms OF the Ethical
Culture Society at 1924 Spruce street.
The new edible is n plant similar to the
well-known Elephant Ear" plant. and pro-
duces n bulb which can be prepared IN
many different ways Samples OF the bulb
will be given out at the meeting by II. A.
Young who will be here from Washington
to deliver an illustrated address on the
food
The dasheen may be baked. stuffed seal
loped, boiled. fried, mashed, creamed or
made into salad with amazing results, ac-
cording to the Department of Agriculture
which gives the recipes for the different
dishes. 1t can also be made into soup, pie,
griddle cakes, pudding or used as hlling
for fowl. II can also be candied with
palatable results
The dasheen is used extensively In tropi-
cal cimes, and is said to be an old favor
lite, dating even back to prehistoric times.
Whether this is true or not is not definitely
known, but Government botansts found 1t
growing in abundance in Trinidad and other
parts of the West Indies. 1t is thought that
its name Is derived from the French phrase
dasheen), meaning from China"
The dasheen. though delicious In Its
various cooked forms. cannot be eaten raw.
Certain acrid qualities make II extremely
irrftant to the mouth or any part of the
skin that II may touch. These qualities
are killed in cooking. In pairing them
level teaspoon of sal soda to n quart of
water will also nullfy the irritating effects
and keep TIE hands free from sting.
The dasheen is in many ways similar to
the potato, its composition containing half
again as much starch and protein. The
nutty flavor is also pronounced Another
characteristic that makes II popular through
out southern countries Is that II can be
forced TO grow In shoots, which are tender
and taste like asparagus. Also fine -four
can be made from the bulb, When made
into bread, grddlecakes or any other dish
that requires flour, It gives a distinct and
pleasant taste,
The dasheen was taken up by the Govern
ment several years ago and in being culti-
Vated at different Government stations In
Florida and South Carolina. II does not
require a rich soil and as much as forty
bushels have been grown on one-tenth of an
acre.
TIE meeting on Friday will be held under
the auspices of the food and economics COM
mttee of the Civic Club, OF which Mrs W
u. Lee is chairman. Mrs Lee extends an
invitation TO Philadelphia housewives to
attend the lecture and learn about tAe new
food.

WOMAN WARNS US.
OF MORMON MENACE
Mrs. Lulu L. Shepard Tells w.
c. T. U. Sect May Hold
Balance of Power
HAS 100000 Adopts

INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 22-The Mormon
Church now holds the political balance of
power in eleven western States and II II
gets control OF only two more II can hold
the balance of power in Congress, Mrs.
Lulu L. Shepard declared in an attack on
the Utah religious sect before the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union here today.
She said:
Utah has no anti-saloon league nor
Prohibition party. and yet there has never
been n time from the cath day OF July,
1S47. that Utah could not have been dry
by the order of the prophet of the Mormon
kingdom.
Some people are wondering why the cru
sade against the Mormon kingdom is being
waged so perslstenty just now Mormon
ism has grown more rapidly In the last nifty
years than any other Church. and today
they number million and half Of mem-
bers. one person in every sixty Is MoTl
mon.
wherein lies the power of the Mormon
Church? you ask, In it's great commercial
ism, for the Mormon Church, as a Church
Is the richest In the world. The Church to-
day has $27,000.000 boarded up in Wall
street as a start toward the control or any
interests or trusts and back of that is
100000 900 more quick money In Utah
Recently the Church has been buying
up land in South America. They are Just
now planning to make New York State
the greatest Mormon State, because 1t was
in that State that Joseph Smith founded
the church
To-day the Mormon Church holds the
balance of power politically in eleven States,
In eight OF these sparsely settled States
there are hardly as many people as in the
State of Indiana, and yet Indiana has but
two senatorial votes, while there are six
teen votes from the eight western States
IL the Mormon Church gets control of two
more western States, making thirteen in
ALL they can hold the balance OF power in
Congress.
