MOTHERS DAY TO Be OBSERVED IN
MANY TOWNS AND CITIES Of COUNTRY
Pubic Exercises to Be Held Churches and Sunday Schools on
the Second Sunday in May-Loyaty and Devotion Of the
Mother to Be Given Fitting Public ReCOgniton-0bSeN-
ance OF Mothers Day Originated by Miss Jarvis

mouth Surely it was by no mere
chance Of fortune that not a single
daughter and only three sons of those
first voyagers were taken! We may
know for a certainty that il was the
selfsacrifce of these loyal mothers
that spared the lives of the children
and husbands.
Mother Sticks to the End.
A warden of a large penitentiary
was recently heard to say that in
cases Of "life-termers, or those serv.
ing long sentences, he found, that, al.
though the wife would often cease
her visits after a time, the mother,
in fair weather or foul, was never
known to desert the prisoner and Wis
tied faithfully until the end.
The most vicious criminal melts in
the arms of the mother who bore him
She has never been known to forsake
the grim, hardened man in prison
garb, for, no matter how crimson his
sins, how STEPPED in crime his soul
may be, to her, he is still a little boy
to be petted and loved and cherished
as in the days when his golden head
nestled upon her bosom.
When the world shall despise and
forsake/ you; when it leaves you by
the roadside to die, unnoticed, the
dear old mother will gather you in her
feeble arms and carry you home and
tell you of all your virtues until you
almost forget that your soul is dis
figured by vices"-can we do too
much for one whose love is so bound
less, so beautiful and trusting as this
If mothers day finds our loved ones
no longer with us, we can find no
more fitting tribute to her blessed
memory than in the performance of
some thoughtful act in behalf of the
mother of someone else.

THAT SPECIAL MENU
PREPARATIONS FOR THE UNEX
P5cTED GUESTS.
Always an Easy Matter for the Com
petent Housewife to Set a Salts
factory Meal Before Her
Casual Visitors.

Now, regarding unexpected guests
Could you not plan TO have sutii-
cient food so that your guests could
have the same as the family II any
dropped in at mealtime? Then il
would not make so much extra work
imagine il is because you are a good
cook that people drop in, but II they
really come to see you. they will not
want you to make any extra trouble
for them, and If they come just for the
good food you serve | should not en-
courage the habit | have very few
unexpected guests, but when they
come they must take pot luck" II
is we'll to have canned goods in the
house for such emergencies. such as
salmon, shrimp, tuna fish, fish fakes
meats, chicken, vegetables and rel
ishes and preserves. Cake or cook
les and canned peaches or pears are
an easy dessert, aDd if you have
sponge or any light cake, lay the
peaches on a slice in the serving
dishes and cover all with whipped
cream. Salmon in butter gravy, canned
peas, hashed potato with red pepper
and apple pie pudding is an easy din
ner, or creamed fish flakes, mashed po-
tato, canned beets, steamed cup cakes
with hot lemon or brandy sauce.
Another is delicate ham, canned
string beans, baked potato, German
tapioca pudding, or ham and eggs,
mashed potato, canned corn, hot choc-
olate cornstarch pudding with cream
AS you live in the country, perhaps it
is not always convenient to have fresh
meat on hand, but you could buy half
a ham and hang 1t in a cool place, and
slice as needed, then boil the piece left
when the best is sliced off. For sup
pers, have escalloped tuna fish, shrimp
wiggle, creamed Clipped beef or
cheese cream on toast, egg cream
toast, goldenrod toast cheese and po-
tato puff. Any OF these with bread or
hot biscuit, canned sauce, cake, cook
les and tea would be good suppers.
Bake your one-egg cake in cupcake
tins, one tablespoonful to tin, and
keep on hand for desserts. Place them
in covered tin in the oven, just long
enough to warm through, and serve
with egg or liquid sauce.
About breakfasts do not think |
have any new ideas, as l am obliged
to have breakfast early every day.
Sunday included, so get something
easy. l always have cereal, usually
rolled oats, then eggs, boiled, scram-
bled, fried with bacon, poached scram-
bled with chopped ham, minced beef
or lamb on toast, hash, fish, warmed
over soup, and with dry toast or
warmedover mullins or brown bread
and doughnuts or cookies or drop
cakes and coffee, we are satisfied.
Once a week | have griddle cakes
with sirup, but it takes longer to cook
them than anything else | serve

To Wash Willow Furniture.

To clean willow furniture, provide
yourself with a coarse brush dipped
in strong salt and water, scrub each
piece we'll, then dry with soft brush.
Salt cleans willow and also keeps it
from turning yellow. If it is desired
to keep the natural light color of the
willow, apply a coat of linseed oil.
BY this treatment the willow strands
of which the piece is woven will lose
their dry brittleness and become soft
er and more pliable, bending under a
blow instead of breaking. This treat
ment has another good effect besides
making the chair last longer-it makes
it less noisy. A coat of oil allows the
strands to slip more smoothly and cas-
lily, and therefore more quietly upon
each other.

Washingtoa.-The second Sunday IN
May will be observed as mothers day
in most cities and many towns
throughout the United States, and, IN
honor of American mothers, both Nv
ing and dead, public exercises VIII De
held in churches and Sunday schools
Since the days when word symbols
were first invented there have been
written beautiful tributes to the sa-
cred love of the mother, and this ten
derest Il all earthly ties has been ex-
tolled in exquisite verse and prose by
world famous poets as well as the
humblest bards of every land and ev-
cry cline. Many Of the sarcophaguses
of ancient Egypt, which scientists
have recently unearthed, contained
tablets, or other records, which were
inscribed with praises for the mother
ly virtues of the women Of the royal
houses of those olden days. and these
tombs were built long before the time
of Christ. But not until recently,
however, was the loyalty and deVo-
ton of the mother given public recog-
milton by a special observance held IN
her honor.
Mothers fiower-do you know what
it Is? The spicy, snow-white carna-
ton. 1t was chosen by the origina-
tor Of mothers day as the emblem OF
mother love.
Originated by Miss Jarvis.
But my own mothers flower" some
may say, was the pink" or the lilac
or "the rose" That may be true, for
mothers have way Of loving best these
dear, old-fashioned blossoms; but Miss
Jarvis, who originated the observance
of mothers day, no doubt had in mind
| these differences of taste when she
chose as an emblem for the occasion
the white carnation for, surely, this
beautiful fragrant flower combines ev-
cry lovely quality Of all the flowers
ever loved by mothers the wide world
over! It symbolizes purity, sweet
ness and endurance-and are not
these the qualities Of mothers love?
Miss Anna Jarvis who first thought
Of inaugurating special observance
to honor the mothers of the land, Is a
Philadelphia woman, one who has
long been identified with philanthropic
movements Of her home state. 1t was
while honoring the memory Of her
own beloved parent from whom she
had long been parted by death, that
she conceived the idea Of setting aside
one day every year for the purpose OF
paying tribute to the mothers Of Amer
ica
There Is an old custom observed in
England on the 18th of March, whose
purpose is to honor the mothers of the
land, which is called 'mothering
Sunday. On this day some special act
Of love or kindness is performed. In
| olden times the day was made a glad
homecoming occasion, and gifts were
carried to the mothers, and heart-to-
heart talks INDUCED in around the
blazing log fires by parents, sons and
daughters. "Mothering" Sunday may,
or may not have been Miss Jarvis
inspiration when inaugurating our own
mothers day; the customs, however,
embody the same beautiful senti-
ments. AS soon as Miss Jarvis made
known her plan she received letters
from interested people from all parts
of the country, i2quiring for particu-
lars. It was only short time before
mothers day was being observed, in
some form, in nearly every state In
the union.

Association Takes Up Work.


In the beginning all the expense Of
the movement was borne by the orig
inator, but soon the work became too
heavy to be carried on or financed
by an individual. The Mothers Day
international association was formed
with Miss Jarvis as president, the OBJ
ject being to promote the observance
and forward the work Of mothers day
in every land.
A resolution passed the United
States house Of representatives and
senate in May, 1913 commencing the
observance by the president, his cabi-
net and other heads Of government de-
partments. The honorary vice presi'
dents of the association are the gov
ernors Of the states.
The legislatures Of a number OF
states have passed bills for the OBJ
servance Of the day.

does not occur during old home week,
or homecoming week, as 1t Is called

Bergson would say, that progress is

THE WORLD OF REALI

THE WORLD OF REALITY.-The
days of human existence are like
vanishing shadows. Compared to
the world of reality they are brought
to a close with extraordinary rapid
ity. From among the world of hu-
manity those who lead a needless
life are afflicted with manifest loss;
for when the days of their lives come
to a sudden end there is no trace, no
leaves, no blossom, no fruit.
They shall remain in the lowest de-
gree and no mention is left behind for
them. From the kings to the serV-
ants, all walk the fleeing path and
live in this circle, but none shall en-
dUre save those who are freed from
all the ties. They are not greedy
after comfort, nor do they seek fit
ting pleasures. They are not longing
for honor, neither are they chasing
the phantasmaI imaginatiOns Of
glory and wealth. Their aim is to
unity the civilizations of mankind;
to desire to see all nations working
amicabIy in higher progress.
The pathway is very vast and they
will not crowd out each other. This
globe is one native land. How regret
table is it that all nations strive to

IN BLUE AND ORANGE COLOR
Scientist Remarks on Stranaeness OF
Aura Of Human Beings Placed
in Darkened Room.

so far as we know" says the
Medical Record, the great scientists
who have Investigated the phenomena
of spiritualism and have in some
cases become converts to the latter
belief, have not expressed themselves
ex cathedra on the validity OF the
finds in question. Recently Profess
sor Benedict of Vienna has made stud
les along these lines.
AT meeting of the Royal and I'M
perial Society of Physicians of Vienna
he stated without comment that when
a normal human being is placed in a
dark room the face appears blue, the
left half of the body blue, and the
right half red or orange. A woman
who claimed to be able to locate OBJ
jects with divining rod seemed
broader in the chamber than was actu-
ally the case. In particular the
thumbs seemed much larger. AN
other OF these women gave OF an en-
anation for part of the time only.
Both the women were said to be able
to locate water, coal, oil, and metals,
the second one only when these were
below the ground, while the first was
able to find them when concealed in
a room"
Professor Benedict offered no ex-
plantations and advanced no theories.
