Econon,H and Health

A MAN who has reached forty years OF
n age and has not acquired a competency
that is, has not laid up an amount SUM-
oient TO provide himself and family with
the necessaries and comforts of life, with
a balance in store for emergencies and Ill
ness, has either been a victim OF serious
and unusual misfortunaes or he has been
a spendthrft or loafer.
The amount which a healthy man Is able
to accumulate each year is SUFFICIENT to pay
for a comfortable home. besides covering
the expenses Of living. even though the
individual is able to earn only the wages
Of laborer. In a vast number OF in
stances poverty is the result not of mis-
fortune, but Of unthrftiness. We frequently
see men who are industrious In their habits
and who command good wages, yet are
spendthrifts Of time, money and health.
1t is our duty TO spend our time in such
a way as will enable us to accomplish the
most for ourselves and for others. The
waste Of time is one OF the most common
Of all squanderlngs. SO often we hear an
individual say: MY time is my own; I can
do what I please with It," But we are
responsible for our time. Each moment
should be proltably employed, not neces-
sarily always, but in such a manner that
it will In some way result in value to our
selves or TO the world
Money is often wasted I'm the purchase
OF things which we do not require. Prob
ably three-fourths of all our expenditures
are not absolutely needed for either health
or comfort. We spend most of our money
for luxurles which do us harm rather than
good, and thus occasion a double waste
The waste of health is far more serl-
Gus matter than tho simple waste Of money.
Money squandered may, by painstalSing
effort, be regained. Health squandered can,
In many, cases, never be fully restored. The
waste OF health is one Of the most mex
cusable of all wastes. For few moments
pleasure IN the harmful Indulgence of ap-
petites, OF passions, we receive I'm exchange
hours, days, months, years, a lifetime of
misery and suffering. Health is one Of
the choicest Of our possessions and one of
the most essential to the enjoyment Of all
our other faculties and blessings.

To Store Beets and Cabbages

70 the Editor OF WomdH's Page:
Dear Madam--Please inform me through your
eolumns how beets and cabbages can best be
stored for the winter. E. n
Prepare large packing box with layer
Of dirt in a cool part OF the cellar. Pull
the cabbages up by the roots, place them in
the box, covering the roots with the dirt
Stored this way the csbbages will keep for
two OF three months. They require no
watering, as the dampness OF the cellar
helps them retain moisture. If the cabbages
have slready been separated from their
roots, simply store in q cool part or the
cellar and they will keep for a month.
Store the beets in a cool part Of the eel
lar, too. Put them in a packing box that
has been filled with dirt or sand Cover the
top of the box with piece of carpet. 1t is
not necessary to cover the cabbages.

DOESN'T It seem, after all that the
~ opening OF the college to women
comes rather as reward than as a
recognition? The recognition might have
come years ago If it were only waiting
around for material judgment. There
have been hundreds of women doctors
good ones-for many, many years!
Somehow, can't help but think that
the little yellow face in the munition
factory is speaking TO men all over the
world And, after all, It isn't that the
stained features signify par excellence in
workmanship that is moving this man
world to recognize women. It is the spirit
that will not stop even a disfgured
face. Men cannot hold up their heads and
fail to feel it. The funny part is they're
Just beginning to know that underneath
women have always been just like that!

Soiled playing cards may be cleaned by
rubbing them over with a cloth dipped in
camphor spirit For about thirty to fifty
cards scarcely more than thimbleful OF
the camphor Is needed. Another good

zol and a little of the camphor ice. This
forms a Jelly, which should be kept In an

WONdAN'S EXAMPLE IN EUROPE

Columbia University Medical School Throws
Doors Open to Women Students-Is 1t
Case of Reward or Recognition?

IT'S n long way from a munition factory
in England to the new nifty y-thousand.
dollar gift that makes possible the throw
ING open OF the medical school OF Colum.
bia University, New York, to women thl,
fall.
In the munition factory delicate little
girls who never did anything more la.
borious than drink tea and embroider be.
fore the war came, have yellowed their
faces with dire chemicals in the cause OF
their country. In tie medical school in
New York hundreds OF women will be
equipped to the nth degree in a university
at whose doors the7 have been beating for
many years.
There is a great difference in these two
occupations. and yet when Dean Samuel
A. Lambert, Of the medical faculty OF
Columbia, made the announcement that
women could come in after they had been
kept out for 106 years he drew them very
close together. He drew them so close
that one might almost conclude that the
woman who studies medicine at Columbia
University hereafter will owe this
achievement OF right 10 the little girl who
is yellowing her face and her hands in
the industries of the world.
This step has been taken" Dean Lam
bert said, after q long consideration,
and has been hastened by a great change
ir womRn's position in Europe since the
outbreak of the great war.
"rhe widespread and most successful
employment Of women in trades which
previously have been considered as be-
longing exclusively TO men has caused
the change in the attitude toward what
has previously been considered women's
work"

embraced and come under the right
conferred by congress by the Webb
Kenyon act, 1t Is decided that the West
Virginia law was not in conflict with
the commerce clause of the constitu-
ton and the power of congress to reg
ulate commerce If congress had power
to enact the Webb Kenyon law.
Congress Acted Within Powers.
"S. Disposing of that question, it II
decided that congress had the power
under the constitution to adopt the
Webb Kenyon law, whether considered
from the point Of view of original rea-
soning or in the light of the previous
legislation by congress and the decis-
ions Of the court holding that legisla-
ton valid. 1t IS therefore decided that
by virtue of the Webb Kenyon law
there is no power to ship intoxicants
from one state into another in violation
of the prohibitions Of the law of the
state into which the liquor is shipped.
In other words, 1t is decided that since
the enactment of the Webb Kenyon
law the channels Of interstate COM
merce may not be used to convey LID
uor into a state against the prohibi-
tons of it's laws. or to use interstate
commerce as the basis for right to
receive, possess, sell, or in any manner
use liquor contrary to the state pro-
hibition."

Big Victory For Drys.

Chicago, Jan. 9.-E. J. Davis, super
intendent Of the Anti Saloon League,
made the following comment:
"What the bred Scott decision was
to slavery the decision today on the
Webb Kenyon bill would have been to
the temperance cause if it had gone
against them. It practically would
have nullified the effect of the state
wide prohibition laws in the twenty
three states which have adopted them.
1t would have permitted liquor to be
shipped into the states regardless of
the state laws against it,
Until the Webb Kenyon bill was
passed liquor was shipped into the
prohibition states under the protection
of the United States laws as interstate
commerce. The fight for the passage
Of this bill went on for more than
twenty years, but the liquor interests
were always able to smother it in COM
mittee and prevent it coming to a vote
until February, 1913, when 1t passed. by
an overwhelming majority in both
branches Of congress and went to the
president for his signature.
Passed Over Taft Veto.
president Taft vetoed it, claiming
that it was unconstitutional. but it was
passed over his veto within an hour.
Congressman James A. Mann used all
his powers as minority leader to de-
feat the bill. but the republicans as
we'll as democrats ran rough shod over
his protests and the bill became law
by a majority Of more than two to one.

Storms and further advance in corn

an incentive to overcrowd the market.

strength and this is indicative of broad
needs of killers. Eastern conditions
are satisfactory. in spite ofso little
