CLOTHES, WOOD, WORK.

The charity branch of the Kings
Daughters has a large amount of
stove wood and fire wood which
they are anxious to sell. Cutting
this wood furnishes work for men
who are badly in need of money
with which to buy the bare neces-
sites of life for themselves and
families. The stoye wood is 1915
per cord and the fire wood $500
per cord. If you wish a load or
more of this wood call the Y. NJ.
C.. A. office, 635 for further infor-
nation.
There are on our list two needy
white widows, one with seven
small children, the other with five
small children, to whom work of
some description would be a God
send. If any good house wife of
Greenwood is looking for a wo-
man to do house work of any
kind perhaps she would be will
ing to give one of these women a
a trial. If you are interested in
the matter call the United Chari-
ties Secretary at the Y. M. C.. A.
office, 636.
Work is also wanted by an old
white man who cannot do any
thing very heavy. He could fol-
low instructions in doing garden
ing or something of that nature,
however.

MAUDE FAY PRESENTS
DIFFICULT PROGRAM
American Prims Donna Entertains Au-
dience with Song Recital of
Exacting Nature.

Maude Fay. the American prima donna,
recently OF the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany, OF New York. but previously of
the Royal Opera, Munich, and Covent
Garden, London, entertained represen-
tative audience of music-iovers in a
Isong-recital of exacting requirements at
the National Theater yesterday after
moon.
Miss Fay's voice is a pure soprano, ca
pable of remarkable graduations of
power. from the richest volume to the
most exquisite pianissimo, and all her
tones are of richness and beauty and of
absolutely pure intonation.
French, Italian, English and German
songs were included in the program, and
Miss Fay's versatility enabled her to
meet the demands of each with excel
lence. but 1t was with the persuasive elo-
auence Of her Interpretation of the group
of German songs by Cornelius, Brahms
and Strauss that she captivated her
audience. The intricate blending Of
thought and musical expression was per-
feet
The program opened with the aria,
Non Mi DR. by Mozart, in which the
long phrases that Mozart delights in
were sustained with the greatest Of ease

rosa" by sibella. was rhythmicaIly very
| In the dramatic "L'Absence" of Berlioz
there was much skillfuI tone coloring and
intensity of feeling. while "Crepuscle," &"
| by Massenet, was sung entirely in a
pianlssimo OF exquisite quality and a
suave legato.
Miss Fay also interpreted a group of
English songs, singing HandePs "Sleep,
Oh Sleep" with distinction. the old SEN
timental Long, Long Ago." Pastoral" {"
by Carey. and the pathetic Land of the
Leal." by the modern composer, Arthur
Foote. As an encore Miss Fay sang the
passionate aria. "Vissi d1lrte" from La
Tosca, by Puccini. with an opulence OF
voice and dramatic intensity that re-
yealed her suitability to operate roles.
and in music Of this style the artist is
at her best.
The last group of songs Was the Su-
perbly interpreted German songs, the
last one. Gaelic" by Richard Strauss,
delightfully."- sung, the listeners receiving
the mood of the composer by the charm
ing rendition. An encore was enthusias-

Swat the fly has become a slogan
that we have often heard in the last
few years. but / doubt II we are yet
really educated up to an understand
ing of the danger that turks wherever
the buzz OF the common house fly is
heard. Death stalks beside him. for
we are told by the health authorities
that a great deal of our infant NOR
taIity is due to the filthy fly. For
filthy. he is-no less!
Flies are born and live in filth. They
carry filth germs on their feet from
outhouses and barns and manure
heaps into our homes and on to our
food. Typhoid fever germs are trans
mitted in this way from the sick to
the well. The milk. that we give to
our babies is fouled by them and the
germs of many another disease is laid
by them on the innocent baby lips or
on the tiny hands and carried thence
to the mouth there to tester and
spread until the young life is endan-
gered and often extinguished. leaving
the mother moaning with aching heart
over an empty crib.
iris is the time to take precautions
against the dangerous fly. Don't wait
now and kill him before he breeds
the millions more of new nies that will
bring, every one of them, the danger
of sickness and disease and death into
our homes this summer.
have been asked to talk of this sub
ject of the fly today by one of our
mothers who found out, too late, the
peril in which we stand before him.
She wrote:
Dear Aunt Chatty: 1 want to ask
you to tell our Mothers Club to take
care and not have any flies in their
homes this summer. l lost my little
Elsie. my three-year-old little girl.
last summer; she died from typhoid
fever, a case so bad that she was sick
only about eight days after we noticed
1t. We could not think at first where
she could have taken the disease. but
we had a doctor who was determined
to find out and at last he traced II
to an clubhouse on place nearby
where there had been a mild case of
the disease a little while before. We
were fairly eaten up with flies in our
house. The screens would not keep
them out, for they would just hang
around and wait for door to be open
ed and then in they would dash. The
doctor found millions of them buzzing
around that clubhouse, and he showed
US how they brought the germs in on
their feet that killed my little Elsie.
She was all I had and I cannot tell
you what my life is without her. As
sit here alone, l thought the other
day that maybe ! could help some
other mother not to suffer rs l do il
would tell her not to let any flies
get into her home at all. Please give
mothers this message from me-"
am giving you this pathetic letter
Just as this sorrowing little mother
wrote 1t because she wants to help
other mothers and because her warn
ing is a timely one. This Is the time
of year to get rid of the fies-not

about on our food and in our sleeping

the torpid. half-ssleep flies that you
will surely find, II you look for them,
just crawling out from some crack or
crevice near the warm chimney or
fireplace.
The New York state deputy health
commissioner. DR.. Linsley r. Will
Jams, made a speech during the baby
week that was observed in March in
many cities, and he called the stten-
tion Of the mothers to the connection
between flies and the death of so many
babies. He. too. urged the mothers to
look for the flies now
Have you ever found a ny In jan
uary or February he asked. Look
over the molding. near the chimney,
in cracks and crannies around the
kitchen and you will often find a
stupid, sleepy fly that just can crawl
II you leave him alone he will live
until spring. I found one in my room
last month near the radiator and
reused to activity by an increase Of

flies were all banished there would be

Rice with Meats.
BY FRANCES MARSHALL.

Rice has great nutritive value, so when
you can add 1t to meat you are not only
reducing the cost of the dish, but you
are maintaining, sometimes increasing.
its food value.
Rice can be added to almost any sort
of meat. Rice, plain boiled and drained
as dry as possible, can be added to a
chicken fricasee. 1t can also be made
into croquettes to serve with chicken.
and rice croquettes may be served with
lamb or mutton stew.
Roundsteak can be cooked with rice in
this way: Put a roundsteak an inch and
half thick In a creased. casserole, and
cover II with a cupful OF rice that has
been soaked for an hour Pour over this
half can of tomatoes and season with
salt and pepper. Then add a quart of
water. Cover and bake for two hours
slowly. and then uncover and cook for
twenty minutes longer.
This Is a good mutton and rice stew:
Boil a cupful of rice and drain II. Slice
three or four carrots and boil until ten
der. In the meantime, simmer until ten
der a pound of breast of mutton-which
Will take about two hours. Thicken the
meat gravy and pour the meat on a plat

ring. and then with the rice, in a mound
around the edge Of the platter.
This is a rice and veal recipe: Place a
slice or several slices OF veal in an un-
creased skillet until brown. Remove to
a moulding board and cut into pieces
two inches square, or smaller. Put, with
a small minced onion, in a casserole, and
cover with boiling water and two or three
slices OF bacon. Cover and cook in the

then thicken slightly with flour. Place
on a platter and surround with q border

HOROSCOPE.
The stars incline, but do not compel"
Friday, April 2, 1915.

FFtuHyg April . Ib1Os
In all the springtime no day could be
luckier than this, astrologers predict.
Mercury, Saturn. Mars, Jupiter. Uranus,
and the Sun are all in benehc aspect.
Neptune is family adverse.
1t is a time to push all important af-
fairs whether they be of the heart or of
business.
Promoters and all who carry heavy re-
sponsibilities should benefit through the
aid of persons in positions OF power. Un-
der this sway hnanciers politicians, man.
ufacturers, and merchants are believed
to be more inclined to do favors than is
usually the case.
1t is a wonderful rule under which to
and women should make the most of the
good positions.
Publicity Of every sort is well directed.
Advertising men, editors, and publishers
have the prognostlcation of great sue
cess.
Theatrical managers and producers
should gain much through contracts
made today, and all such agreements
should be lucky for artists or other en-
ployes.
Canada has the prophecy of widespread
industry during the coming summer.
Manufacturing comes under a direction
making for permanent prosperity in GER
tain centers of activity.
The death of a parsonage much revered
and loved in Canada is foreshadowed.
In Great Britain a member of the royal
family will pass on rather suddenly,
probably in the early summer, 1t is proph-
esied. A woman of middle age is indi-
Gated.
Religious scandals are persistently
prophesied for the United states as well
as Europe.
The summer quarter shows possi-
bility of some dispute between this coun-
try and England.
Persons whose birthdate it is are likely
to prosper in business. Those who are
employed will be lucky.
Children born on this day will be ex-
ceedingly bright and resourceful They
may be quick-tempered, but lovable. Girls
probably will marry happily at an early
age.
