The General Federation of Wom-
ems clubs has sent out this statement
tional service:a I'VE have two great
objects: First, to be of our utmost
service in time of need; second, and
cutie important, to keep alive in ev-
cry community the sense of law and
order, of the security of the perma
nent elements, that must rebuild So
ciety when the tumult of war is past"
A great task this, but one of which
we, as earnest, organized woman
hood, should be capable. ITO be of
utmost service in time of need is our
promise and fulfill it we must and will,
1t is the second object of this great
organization which we are going to
find hardest to keep in view. When all
the world is in chaos, when nation is
at grips with nation during all the ter
rible distress and more terrible hatred
er gendered, we are to keep alive in
every community, 1.-The sense of the Sc
curity of the permanent elements"
Have you thought of all that implies?
You have pledged your word to help
carry on those occupations of peace
which will rebuild society when war is
past
Let us count these permanent ele-
ments. First of all, that embodiment
of all the hopes of the future, the
child. we must see that the child has
lust as fair a chance as in times OF
peace. To do so we must go on teach
ing the mothers how to better prevent
infant mortality and make for a bet
ter physical body for her own little
brood. Then the mental needs of the
child cannot be ignored, and so our
schools should go on improving it, OF
course, being our duty to supervise
this.
Then we must keep up our homes
for the sake Of those absent as well as
for our children. The life of a nation
is founded upon its homes. TO neglect
them is to cause national decay. so,
too. our towns need to be clearly and
healthy. All of this is obvious, how
ever. and needs no one to argue for
it.
It is in the spiritual that the greatest
danger lies. Let not your passions en-
gender hate. Remember hate is
two-edged weapon and hurts most him
who grasps it to use upon another
Because we are at war with nation is
no reason for personal hatred of any
Of it's units That great command
Love your enemies" is not impossl-
Bile. We may declare a nations to be
wrong, but because we are striving to
right the wrong which we hate should
give us no hatred of the nation it |
self. Try to instill the teachings of all |
great men into the hearts OF the youth !
nc matter of what nationality the man
may be- Instill love of beauty, make
them to understand the universally |
Of humanity and brotherly love. On |
nc account allow a soul with whom !
you have dealings to become embit- !
tered or narrowed through your in |
slrumentality. but rather strive to
aweeten all lives with draught from |
the great river of charity and under
standing towards all humankind.

4 CHICKEN FAT Is VALUABLE =
\ IN COOKERY; SAVE ALL OF 1T. =


Do you throw away the body fat OF
poultry-big layers of clean, sweet,
yellow fat around the gizzard and
found elsewhere around the intestines
Of the chicken? If you do, say spec
ialists of the United States department
of agriculture, you are throwing away
fat which French housewives consider
the finest of fats for making cakes
and especially puff paste. In certain
seasons in New York and other big cit
les, this fat is so highly esteemed that
it brings as much as $1.10 per pound.
So great is the demand for this fat
that many people make a business OF
collecting it from butchers and others
who dress poultry before delivering it
t. customers.
Housewives would do well to insist
on having it delivered, if they buy
their poultry dressed. By using chick
en- fat in cooking they can cut down
the amount of fat they must buy for
that purpose To prepare it, try it out
in double boiler, or other vessel set
in hot water, until the fat just melts
away from the tissues and can be pour
az off This fat becomes rancid easily
ard should be kept cool and covered
like butter and used in very few
days Chicken fat, like goose fat, may
be used for shortening in cakes, such
as spice cake, where the seasoning will
mask any flavor which the fat might
have 1t can also be used for fry
ing the chicken itself or other meats
ana for warming vegetables, etc.

at Lamberton, near Maryborough, and
drove cattle off lands which are held
in eleven months lettings by some
farmers, who had been requested to
give up their takes in order to facili-

sell the lands for redistribution among
small holders. A few policemen who
were present attempted to prevent the

succeeded in getting the animals on to
the public road, and proceeded to drive
them to Stradbally, where they were
