What I Have Learned
By MRS. c. J. sroNEBERGER

A few years ago a friend gave me number of geranium slips, etc. Now, as everyone knows, farmers wives, whose wards are unfenced, cannot have the lovely flower beds that their city SIS ters are so proud of, because the enlck- ems. geese, calf and occasional pis roaming about take keen dellsh, ,s making that particular flower pea +bcir testing place during the heat Of the day. A
 Some women try to avoid this py covcrine the beds with brush or wire netting and succeed in making more unsipbtly object than If no flowers were there. Knowing all this, anu pe ing a lover of flowers, l decloeo II conld not have flower beds coulo have flower boxes
 So out in the corn crib one rainy dav in early spring my husband ana made three deep narrow boxes as lohg as our windows were wide. We pofeu nlenty of holes in the bottom ol lne boxes and then with some leftover nairt I made the old stained eepoarus pretty dull green.
 I bought three pairs or z5-cehe shs1i brackets and screwed pair to the borse below each of three vii VOWS. Tn one box placed on these sneiVes T nlanted the geraniums; and nastur- tiums and pansies in the other two. Each fall I remove one par oi pl aoN- ats ana fasten them to the window on inc inside and bring in my pox or se an;ums now have several pretty hanging packets of Wandering Jew, Mountain Moss, etc. which hang on hooks screwed into the bottom or tne lvindow box. In summer they are pret- ty hanging from the top of the porch outside.
 Thus with little trouble and expense T ,,ava flowers summer and winter and 4ha,, never fail to bring remarks or admiration from the friends who come here.

Germs which grow in foods and cause illness grow very rapidly, par ticularly if the food is a little warm, and are not destroyed unless the 1ood is well cooked before serving. Simply warming up' is not enough, as was found in a case of illness recently re- ported after eating some warmed-u up creamed vegetable. Certain klnos oi food-creamed chicken, or custard, or warm vegetables, for example-are excellent culture mediums for bacteria which may have been introduced Into them by accident. For this reason IL is 9 safe rule to have as short tinie as possible intervene between tEe preparation of food and it's consump ton. Broth is another excellent me- dium and in consequence should be drained off if it is intended to Keep the meat for any length of time be- fore serving. If the broth is used also if should be boiled thoroughly first. All food. cooked or uncooked, should be kept in clean, cool place, in or der to reduce the danger of infection to minimum.
 Once canned goods have been opened and exposed to the air they spoil as quickly, If not more quickly than fresh food. The contents or can should, therefore, be used without delay. In no event should they be left in the can after it has been opened. but should be used at once unless the housekeeper wishes to lair" the canned material which some believe is desirable. If this is done, the can contents should be transferred to a clean earthen or glass dish anu put away for an hour or two in a cool place where dust will not reach It,
 Little Home Items
 The best practical way to protect bread from mold is to keep it in a dry @air-tight box.
 Small biscuits or rolls can stand a much hotter oven and quicker baking than large loaves which must be heated slowly and long. On being taken from the oven bread should be placed on slats or shelves so that the air can circulate about it uniri it is thor oughly cooled.
 Milk can often be used to advantage in the place of water in making bread The dough is slower in rising but makes an equally light loaf. Milk bread contains a larger percentage of pro teids and fats tha water bread, and is equally digestible. It's use is by all means justified, especially on farms where skim milk is abundant.
 very important consideration in re- SdFQ 10 the nutrltlVe Vdlut Oi any hlhc of food is it's digestibility-that is, the completeness and ease with which il can be transformed by the digestive organs into the forms in which the body can utilize it.
 Different as the food materials may look on the table, they are found by chemists to be made up of water and the four different groups of substances protein. fat, carbohydrates, and miner al matters, which. in turn, play diff. ferent parts in the building and run. ming of the body machine. Sometimes one or two and sometimes all of these constituents are present Protein, fat and carbohydrates yield energy by be ing burned in the body. Protein ani mineral matter are essential to body building and repair.

T!.is is the slogan in a food conser- vation campaign which home demon. stration agents have been conducting during the past month in New forK state. In consequence the orange colored root, now in storage Tn many homes and on sale at markets, naS been given prominent piace OH tapies where it was formerly stranger ana closer acouaintance with it sought in a variety of dishes. Among the recipes recommended for the purpose of making everyone familiar with the merits of the vegetable were the fol- lowing:
 Carrot Loaf-One and half cupfuls ground carrot; one cupful boiled rice, one cupful ground peanuts; one cuptul milk; one egg; salt, pepper TWO taole- spoonfuls minced pepper, red or green three tablespoonfuls minced bacon or other fat; one tablespoonful onion iuice. half teaspoonful mustard.
 Mix the ingredients in the order given, and bake the loaf in a moderate oven for one hour. Serve it with to- mato sauce if desired.
 Carrot and Cheese Salad-One pint grated raw carrot; three-fourths cup ful grated cheese; salt, paprika.
 Toss the ingredients lightly together and serve them on lettuce Wltn ellHer French or boiled dressing.
 Crrott Cookies-One cupful brown sugar; one-third cupful molasses; half cupful fat; one cupful carrots, boiled and mashed; three -fourths cupful rais- ins; one egg beaten; one and half cupfuls flour; two teaspoonfuls baking powder; half teaspoonful salt; one tea spoonful vanilla; ont-fourth teaspoon ful each of cinnamon, cloves and nut meg.
 Mix the ingredients well and drop the dough by spoonfuls in greased pans. Bake the cookies in moderate oven.
 Each of the 26 members in the Girl Scout Home Demonstration troop of the District of Columbia is treasuring a certificate of proficiency received as the reward for completion of home demonstration short course in canning given to Girl Scouts representing all the groups in the district. These Girl Scouts have won the distinction of be- ing the first group of city girls to rival their country sisters by uniting in an organized canning campaign.
 This troop was pledged to assist the home demonstration agent of the United States department of agricul- ture in food conservation by aiding in community canning. assisting in public demonstrations, and offering their ser vices to Washington housewives who needed help in home canning. When called upon by housekeepers these volunteers went in groups of two, chap eroned by Girl Scout captains, into homes to give instructions in canning. They have also made creditable ex- hibit of canned products.
 The officials in charge confidently predict that this is the beginning of nationwide army of city girls in canning work whose numbers and achievements will rival the canning clubs of the country. This group of girls will continue their patriotic work during the winter by learning to make liberty breads, making these in their homes. and assisting housekeepers just as they did in canning.

Your Lad and My Lad

Randall Parrish, in Chicago Tribune. Doun toward the deep blue water
 march to throb of drum, From city street and country lane the
 lines of khaki come The rumbling guns, the sturoy ereau'
 are full of grim appeal, While rays of western sunshine HASH
 back from burnished steel With eager eyes and cheeks ahame the
 serried ranks advance And vour dead lad and my dear lad are
 on their way to France. A sob clings choking in the throat, as
 file on file sweep by, Between those cheering muitltudes, 10
 where the great ships lie; The batteries halt, the columns wheel,
 to clear-toned sbugle call, With shoulders squared and faces front
 they stand khaki wall. Tears shine on every watchers cheek
 love speaks in every glance; For your dear lad and my dear lad are
 on their way to France. Before them, through a mist of years
 in soldier buff or blue, Brave comrades from a thousand fields
 watch now in proud review; The same old Flag, the same old Faith
 the Freedom of the World Spells Duty in those afiapping folds
 above long ranks unfurled Strong are the hearts which bear along
 Democracy's advance. As your dear lad and my dear lad go
 on their way to France. The world rings out: a million feet
 tramp forward on the road, Along that path of sacrifice o'er which
 their fathers strode. With eager eyes and checks afame,
 with cheers on smiling lips, These fighting men of 1T move on-
 ward to their ships. Nor even love may hold them back,
 or halt that stern advance, As your dear lad and my dear lad go
 on their way to France.

WORKERS MUST UNITE
TO SECURE JUSTICE

Chicago.-"Ihe organization of labor
on trade union lines is labors natural
weapon against the encroachments oil
capital, and the organized movemen
must embrace every occupation and in
dustry," writes President Perkins of the
International Cigar Makers union ir
the official journal of that organization
''Labor's share in the results of pro-
duction is inadequate; it does not cover
the waste of vital force" he says. 1T
does not provide for wear and tear; for
depreciation of physical force. There
is no provision for insurance, for in
validity and old age. The average COM
pensation paid is inadequate to provide
for the maintenance of bodily vigor and
labor power in the process of production.
Capital, on the other hand, claims ev-
erything; it charges an excessive price
for management and personal service !;
it insists upon regular profits and divi-
dends; it takes into account probable
losses. 1t charges for insurance, depre-
citation of building and machinery. 1t
adds contingent expenses; some items
which could not stand the test of pub
licity.
"Stock watering is favorite device
in order to conceal the excessive profits
gained from operation. Thus the amount
of capital invested is sometimes doubled
and trebled by the issuance of bonds
and stocks, without the addition of a
single dollar to the original capital paid
in by the stockholders in the corporation.
This process of stock watering tends to
increase constantly the share received
by capital, and to diminish the proper
tionate share received by labor
"The system of distribution of the
profits of industry is fundamentally
wrong; there is no equitable standard. 1t
is all haphazard. All forces operate in
favor of capital and against labor. In
few industries, where corporate pow
er is comparatively weak, and labor or
ganizations are well fortified, labor
share is approximately fair, but nc.
wholly so. In others it is grossly un-
fair, with no redeeming feature what
soever.
with the masses of the people or
ganized in trade unions, labor's share in
the production will grow in proportion
to its power"

OPPOSE THIRD DEGREE.

Lansing, Third degree" con-
fessions to police officials were scored
by the state supreme court in decision
handed down by Justice Stone. In or
dering new trial for man convicted
on third degree" testimony, the court
said
proof of confession is never ad-
missible unless it is voluntary, and by
the word voluntary is meant that the
confession must be of the free will and
accord of the defendant without coer-
cion, whether from fear of any threat
of harm, promise or inducement by hope
of reward or method known as sweat
ing"

WORTHY LABOR BILL KILLED.

Hartford, Conn.-The house has de-
feated bill that would prevent women
and minors from being employed in
grinding metal on machines or on buff
ing work, although it was shown this
work breeds disease.
Assemblyman Smith spoke against the
bill as "a friend of labor" He said the
plan was only intended to get the wom-
en- and children out of the factories and
get the men in at better wages. He be-
lieved the women could take care of
themselves and should not be forced out
of their work by legislation.

Social Unit Organization
Has Started to Work-Four Neighborhoods Are Already
Organized-The Plan In Full.

Cincinnati is now ready to begin an
experiment in social democracy which
will turn towards her the eyes of scien-
lists, sociologists, teachers and philan-
thropists in all parts of the world. 1 he
great work of human helpfulness and
human conservation comprehended in
the plan of the Social Unit Organiza-
tion will begin in a few weeks, follow
ing the selection of the specific location
within Cincinnati, on which there is to
be concentrated the best thought of the
city with view to creating a demo-
cratic and mutually helpful organization
among its people.
Six neighborhoods of the city are now
competing to be chosen as the center
in which the actual experimental work
will be done. A number of other COM
munities are being organized by persons
interested in the plan, preparatory to
extending invitations to the unit organi
cation. Among these neighborhoods
which are now seeking to be chosen are
Washburn School district; Lafayette
Bloom School district; Camp Washing
ton; Cumminsville; Mohawk Brighton
and Fairmount.
Invitations received from these COM
munities will be acted upon by the
General Council of the social unit or
ganization in Cincinnati upon the basis
of the eagerness of the people to obtain
the advantage of having the experiment
tai unit within their district, their I'M
derstanding of the general objects of
the plan and the facilities for success
full experimentation offered within the
community.
After the selection of the district, the
initial work will be centralized in one
small unit of the community People
living within this small district will then
be organized into working group. 1t is
this organization of the inhabitants
within the experimental area which will
perform the actual work of carrying
out the various tests. There will be
established a central meeting place
where there will be held clinics, run by
local physicians, supervised by the most
prominent medical and surgical special
lists in the city; there will be given at
community gatherings, lectures by So
cial service leaders; helpful advice will
be offered by the men and women most
thoroughly acquainted with the subj jects
to be treated in the experiments, but this
is as far as outside influences will 60
The unit plan is democratic and its peo-
pie will control the work of solving
each of the social problems as it pre-
sents itself The activity of all char
table and social service organization of
Cincinnati will be suspended within this
unit Every facility for carrying on the
work ordinarily done by these organiza
tons will be placed at the disposal of
the community organization and it will
be for the people themselves to deter
mine how these facilities shall be util-
lied
1t is this glorication of democracy,
never before known in the administra-
ton of charity or helpful service that
has made the irresistible appeal to the
people of Cincinnati Its appeal has
found interest in the hearts of business

men, wage workers, professional men
and women of the working class, as
well as those prominent in society and
club life. The clergy and laity alike are
represented in the councils of the So
cial unit and the wealthy and poor find
in this humanitarian project common
ground of interest.
Brief Outline of the Plan.
Results .Aimed 1t.
l. Elimination of waste in phian-
thropic funds.
2. Development of model program
for social and health work
B. Creation of an efficient organiza-
ton for wise social planning.
Method.
a local committee will be selected by
the people living within the district
where the work is carried on. The ap-
proach will be medical in character, the
needs of the children supplying the point
of attack.
Through corps of neighborhood So
cial agents or representatives drawn
from this district, an attempt will be
made gradually to establish contact with
every family and individual within it.
Social statistics now collected by score
of gencies-federal state, municipal,
philanthropic-will be gathered by this
staff which will be paid and educated
for its task. The staff will also carry
to the people within the district, infor-
nation which many social agencies are
endeavoring to disseminate, but which
none can disseminate completely, be-
cause it can not reach all the people.
(Such educational work is essential to
the reduction of infant mortality, to the
prevention of tuberculosis and to the
curing Of other social ills.)
Starting with service to infants and
gradually adding first one and then an
other type of work, the endeavor will
be to see how many forms of social
work can wisely be drawn into one
mechanism and run by one management.
The use of the corps of neighborhood
social workers as common field agents,
calling in the specialized workers when
needed, will prevent the intrusion of
many workers into single home. Sew
enteen workers visited one home in Mil
waulicc in a single winter
Supervision.
The selection of the district and the
direction of work therein will rest in
the hands of commission appointed by
the mayor of the city and composed of
the heads of committees elected by diff
ferent city groups-doctors, social work
ers, etc. City departments will also be
represented In this way a consensus of
skill in each field can be made available
for the work
Each directing head will be assisted
by an advisory committee of national
experts, organized and financed by the
National Social Unit Organization.

tive expenses; for such investigations,
