CLUBWOMEN Of
CALIFORNIA BUSY

The call for the fifteenth annual
convention of the California Fedora
ton OF Women's Clubs. which will be
held at Del Monte on April 18th, 26th.
27th, 18th, Goth and 30th, has been
issued, and. III spite of a perfectly
sincere interest in all phases of the
feminist movement which the conEen.
ton represents, the prevailing thought
among delegates at the present time
concerns hotel accommodations and
the selection OF a roommate If a Sc
lection must be made. The extent o.
the attendance at past conventions
caused such selection to be compul-
sorry IN past years, and club women
have learned that ii ic safer for all
concerned TO- DO their own selecting
rather than to have it done for her by
harassed, overworked, indiScreet
and undiscriminating hotel clerk
Therefore delegates are at present in
active communication with Del Monte,
and it is hoped by all who may be in
volVed that arrangements may be
completed before the convention ar
rives in the lobby of the hotel
After announcing that the invitation
has been extended to the Federation
by the Federated Clubs of Pacific
Grove and the Hotel Del Monte,
the call promises that the COM
mittee on standing rules will pre-
sent a number Of amendments that
will simplify the work of the conven.
ton. H.. -.
In order further to facilitate the
work of the convention, it is an
nounced that resolutions must be in
the hands OF the committee, of which
Mrs. A. J. Lawton is chairman, not
later than the second day of the con.
vention. AS these resolutions usually
relate to everything forming a part of
the present life, it is hoped that, by
beginning to read them the second
day, the committee will have finished
the reading by the final day.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

some DANGER in
DRY.DUSTING

Knowing that the enemy delights in
darkness and warm, steamy atmos-
phere, we take pains to food our
rooms with light and an abundance
of fresh. cool air, paying special at
tention to the ventilation Of closets,
and plying the whitewash brush wher
ever we find the least suspicion of
mustiness. And we exercise every
precaution against stirring up dust,
realizing that as a choice between
two evils, 1t would be preferable to
leave it lying thick on our center
tables and mantels, rather than per-
nit ii to fill our lungs and food. 1t
has been proved by practical expert
ment that dry brooms and feather
busters are of little use so far as the
removal of dust is concerned, but are
most efficient instruments for filling
our food and systems with bacteria.
On q glass plate coated with a steril-
ICED gelatinous substance, and exposed
for FIVE minutes in an ordinary living
room just before sweeping, there was
counted seventy-five bacteria and one
mold. A similar plate exposed for the
same number of minutes shortly after
sweeping with broom, yielded near
ly three thousand bacteria and six
molds. AS the plates were only a few
inches in diameter, it is evident that
the broom must have stirred up mil
lions. Mods are lighter than bacte-
ria, and hence settle more slowly,
which accounts for the insignificant
number captured. AS other exposures
were made at varying intervals, the
number of molds increased and the
bacteria became less numerous. These
experiments teach two important les
sons: First, that food cannot safely
be prepared nor served in a broom
swept room until after the lapse Of
from three to FIVE hours. They also
show the futility Of busting within an
hour after sweeping.-Woman's World

HOUSEHOLD HINTS
VEGETABLES TO EAT AND SELL


This year when planting the peas
and beans. corn, tomatoes, etc. why
not also plant some of those very use
full vegetables which are usually neg
lected in the home garden? Swiss
chard, okra. Brussels sprouts. arti-
chokes and leeks are all healthy addi-
tons to the table and they do not
require any special conditions or cul-
ture. And then, also, why not set
aside a small plot of ground for the
growing of salad green's, which will
vary the monoteIy.
Brussels sprouts, the little cab
bages," possess all the healthful quail.
ties of cabbage while their flavor is
much more delicate. The seed should
be sown in June in shallow drills and
the seedlings should be transplanted
when they are about three inches
high. Each sprout should be about
two feet apart in rows three feet
apart. The plants are tall, lusty ones
and each plant often yields So or~49
of the little cabbages." But like all
members of the cabbage family they
are greedy feeders and positively
must have heavy, rich soil. Brussels
sprouts are deucIous bOiIed and serv-
ed with cream sauce and they are
also excellent boiled in sailed water
for % minutes and served with a
dressing of Drowned butter.-Wo.

EASTER EGG eELATINE.

Now while so many eggs are being
used, save all the shells When you
open the eggs, do not make any larger
hole than is needed. Rinse with cold
water and put away. The day before
Easter take as many shells as you
want and put them into a small pan
so they will stand on end. If you find
it difficult to make them stand up,
they may be put into a pan of bran or
meal Fill with as many colored gela-
tines as you wish, using a small fun;
mel to pour the gelatine into the shells
White, pink, chocolate and orange may
be used. When you wish to serve,
carefully break away the shells and
you have perfect eggs. If you wish
to serve as dessert, a sauce of the fol-
lowing may be used: One pint of
milk, ! egg, IL cup sugar, 1-2 tea
spoon cornstarch, 1-2 teaspoons va
nilla.-Woman's World for April.

TREATMENT OF
HARDWOOD FLOOR

If you have a kitchen floor Of hard
maple and want treatment that will
stand wear and water apply not less
than two. coats of bleached shellac var
nish to the floor after the surface Of
the wood is prepared. .%-# .%a III
Should you want an oiled floor, make
an inexpensive floor oil of nine parts
raw linseed oil, and one part drier.
This should be well rubbed in so as
to give dull smooth finish. AS the
floor becomes worn apply an occa-
sional coat of floor oil made of eight
parts raw linseed, two parts turpen-
tine and one part white or orange
shellac yarnish. Apply this with a
brush and rub with a cloth wrapped
around weighted floor brush.
In a bathroom one coat of white
shellac followed by two Of high grade
varnish will make a fine floor fin
ish. ..s.-. e. -.
You may have an old floor that needs
refinishing. Remove all the old finish
by using a good paint or varnish re-
mover. Some paint removers have
naphtha varnish or alcohol shellac in
them, SO with them you should use
the same precaution that you would
in using gasoline.-Woman's World

At The Baptist
Church Sunday

Rev. E. Sanford, of Winter Haven,
preached at both the morning and
evening hours of worship at the Bap-
fist church on Sunday. Mrs. Cason
sang "Not Half Has Ever Been Told
with such sweetness that there arose
an irrepressible longing to see the
heavenly city of which this sweet
voiced singer told.
The text of the morning was End
Cor IA. The keynote to the sermon
was 1.-The Christians Motive for
Service" Introductory thoughts--our
motives induce the actions. Do we
as Christians always do service from
the right motive-for the glory of
God? In the judgment every motive
will be made manifest. Why are we
Christians workers? Not to secure
our salvation which was purchased
on the cross of Calvary. Our works
will determine our heavenly reward;
our works keep us in fellowship and
communion with the Father; we
work because we belong to the fam
lily of God, and are bound by love
SURPRISING all other loves. There are
certain marks which will be seen
upon us-having Chris within, our
actions will speak of Him, even our
countenances will show that he
dwells with us-a fine point of dis
tinction between self-denial and
denial of self was made. The true
worker for the Master must put self
in the background. Self, our great
est enemy-1low many forms self as
sumes-we meet at every turn of the
way-the humble self" the "hypo-
critical SELF" the "covetous self" the
ambitious self the ''conceited
SELF" the "self righteous self" Some
of us are like canal boats-towed
along; some like sail boats-tossed
about by the winds; others like the
great Atlantic steamer-pursuing its
course in spite OF tide and winds,
carried on it's destined way by the
great motive power within. Loyalty
to Christ should be our motive pow
er, looking into our hearts to see
If Christ reigns within or self. That
all service may be for the glory Of
God. The hearts VI the people were
made glad by the presence Of Bro,
Wear at the morning service. He
was given a hearty and loving well
come by his people. Subject for the
evening hour, THE Mission of Our
Lord" This was fine gospel SER
mon, brim full of truths from Gods
word-a sermon that you could car
ry in your heart during the week.

OLD-nME CURES PERSIST

Susefstitious as to methods of cur
ing diseases, once very prevalent,
are not altogether extinct yet. Much
ancient faith clustered about the
mandrake root, which was carved in
the form of a doll, dressed in fine
clothes and kept in box or coffin
concealed in some corner of the
house. Each month it was washed
in wine and water and freely CARRIED.
Another universal cure was to
carry piece of mistletoe which had
been cut from a tree by a golden
sickle and caught in white vessel
as 1t fell.
Metal scraped from church bell
or piece OF the rope was supposed
to have similar protective influence
against disease, as also cloth stain
ed in blood of a murderer or the
rope with which he was hanged

Carload shipments of lettuce are
leaving Florida for the Northern
markets and the crop nfospects are
very good. Owing to the high cost
of fertilizers considerably less
acreage has been planted than last
season, but the shipments, from
present indications will be much
greater and of finer quality this year
than last Most of last winters crop
was ruined by unfavorable weather
conditions.
The bulk of the Florida lettuce
crop is shipped in hampers. Three
hundred such hampers to the acre is
only fair yield-a good yield is
often twice as large,
During the winter theaverage sell

half to two dollars and half ham
