MAUDE MARIE COSTELLO
TO HELP HOUSEWIVES
PRODUCE BETTER BAKINGS

It is with considerable pleasure we
announce that series of articles, pre-
pared by Maude Marie Costello, treat
ing on domestic science will appear IN
early issues of this paper.
We suggest that our readers take
particular care not to miss single
one of this series of intensely inter-
esting and vitality important articles.
They should prove of immense worth
to every woman-as they deal directly
and intelligently with the problem of
raising the standard of living and at
the same time lowering living costs.
Miss Costello is one of Americas
foremost domestic scientists. She is a
graduate of the University of Chicago
and Lewis institute. She is teacher
of domestic science in the public
school. She has conducted many ex-
haustive cookery experiments, and has
brought to light many facts of great
Importance to every housewife.
In the high circles of domestic sci
ence her word is accepted as law.
Her broad knowledge-her extensive
experimental the results of her ex-
periments as set forth in her articles
will no doubt enable many of our
readers to make big savings in house
hold costs-to conduct home manage
ment along more successful and scien-
tific lines-and to supply their tables
with more healthful and nutritious
foods.

WHAT THE VICTORY OR DE-
FEAT OF GERMANY MEANS
TO EVERY AMERICAN

Contributed by Granville Fortescue
to the National Security Leagues
Campaign of Patriotism Through Ed
ucation)
Germany victorious would mean the
world enslaved. 1t means that the
Prussian conqueror would impose his
will upon the nations of the earth as
in other ages the Roman conquerer
imposed the yoke of his profigate
rulers upon the peoples of the past.
And as Rome exploited the then
known world for Roman gain, so Ger
many would today exploit the world
for German gain.
Should other nations dispute the
will IF the German leaders, German
armies would overrun them as today
Belgium, Serbia, Rumania, Poland and
part of France are overrun and devas-
tated.
Americans take up the burden OF
battle to check such attainment; Am
orleans take up the burden of battle
to make the world free. Unless t.
United States, as the worlds greatest
democracy and the nation which ideal
ICES peace, will be brought into con-
slant conflict of interests with Ger
many, the worlds greatest autocracy
and the nation which idealizes war.
This is not a war of our seeking.
Never have a people gone to battle
with hearts so clean. Providence i'm
poses terrible yet a sacred task up
on us.
This task will take heavy toll of our
manhood and wealth. Yet it will con-
sole our people to reflect that every
life lost, every dollar spent, is in a
holy cause. Americans fight for the
faith of their fathers, and that faith
is comprised in the one word, Free
dom.

CHEERFUL PERSON is JOY
SPREADER WHILE GLOOMY
ONE HAS OPPOSITE EFFECT

A cheerful person leaves a trail of
joy and happiness in her wake result
ing in good almost unbelievable.
Cheerfulness is one of the most pro-
fitable things we possess.
1t promotes health and invigorates
the mind.
Besides it does other things-while
the gloomy attitude has an opposite
effect which does as much harm as
the former does good.
A certain woman whom I have in
mind serves to illustrate the dark
viewpoint-fo1 she looks upon the dis
NAL side of everything.
She was about to start on a jour-
ney the other day and every phase Of
the trip was anticipated with as de-
jected an air as though there were
no pleasure to be gained although that
was the object in making the trip.
Tears were shed at leaving her folk
though she was not to be away from
home for any great length of time
the travel was looked upon as dis
agreeable ordeal although it took her
through particularly interesting part
of the country.
Then she worried and fretted for
fear this, that, or the other thing
would come up to spoil her sojourn.
Nothing occurred, however, to MAJ
her enjoyment and she had really
delightful time-but think how much
more happiness she would have Sc
cured from her visit if she had not
taken such a dreary view of the under.
taking before starting.
Then pause to consider how her at.
titude and actions affected those with
whom she came in contact-as wei
as her family-for she insisted upor
expressing her opinions to all.
A CHEEKY outlook on life and its

oblems-regardless of what they
may be-is worth its weight in gold.
An attractive young woman in
charge of one of the departments in a
certain store on Main street has un-
dergone a series of reverses, misfor-
tune, unhappiness that would make
living almost unbearable to many.
Yet-notwithstanding what her n
ner suffering and uphappiness may be
she always presents cheerfA,
pleasant gracious manner to allan
her willingness in aiming to please
and the smile that accompanies it,
make her beloved by everyone.
She .conceals the things that trouble
and hurt instead of infiicting her sor-
rows broadcast to all who will give
ear.
Truly an example worth followingi
Do not allow bright and healthy
nature to become morose, churlish and
ill-natured by self-isolation from So
cial enJoyments, either.
For when there is no joy in the
heart no 5eneyclence in the mind
ones character will grow as cold as
an iceberg.
Sympathy marks the true woman.
The world is unit of interests-we
need one another.
Humanity is linked by thousand
cords all more or less connecting
each need the best another has to
give-which does not mean burdening
others with embarrassments.
A sunny disposition scatters seeds
of happiness in its path like unto a
gardener who prepares his field for a
big harvest.
A cheerful viewpoint will prove
beneficial not only to yourself-but to
all around you. It's influence reacts.
A CHEEKY word-a bright smile-will
dispel the darkest cloud. Every
thing will take on a different hue.
At all times-on every occasion
be cheerful.

for his followers all down the ages
Surely it could not have been trivial
incident of no particular significance
to man. Such incidents had no place
in his life.
Assured, then, that peace-loving,
mercy-loving, truth-loving America
has but one aim, the preserving of the
sanctity of the Fathers temple-that
temple which is the great heart of
humanity-we can approach this be-
nign season with hearts attuned to its
signifcance-the anniversary of the
earthly advent of the Prince of Peace.
Coming in. this spirit, we,. like the.
shepherds Of old on the Judean hills
may catch a glimpse of that light that
shall dispel the darkness of ignor-
ance and avarice and shall make of all
men followers and champions of the
Right.
And as we approach that day let it
be with hearts that can feel for all
peoples everywhere. Let it be with a
fervent hope that soon the clouds that
now encompass us may be rifted and
dispersed, and the benefcent sun of
worldwide righteousness may shine
thenceforth forever. Let it be with
a faith that the eternal principles of
Justice and Right for which we stand
will ultimately rule the earth, and man
see his fellow man for that which he
is-his brother.

"THE PRINCE OF PEACE"

And he said, 81 came not to bring
peace, but a sword"
What a strange contradiction, and
how shall we reconcile it?
Again the season is with us when
fhe hearts of Christendom turn to that
wonderful Personality and dwell with
feelings of awe and wonder on the
words that fell from his lips. Again
we commemorate the birth of him who
shall make us free indeed. But now
we come with hearts bowed down I'M
der world sorrow and minds clouded
by veil through which it would seem
impossible to pierce. When we would
sing acclaim to the Prince of Peace,
we look out over a world drenched in
war and blood. We see on every hand
misery and suffering, human condl-
lions which he gave his life to allie
viate. And it has been so long since
he made the sacrifice, that hope al
most turns to despair.
Can we by any means CLEAN one
ray of comfort from that cryptic re-
mark which we quote above? Was the
omnicient mind projecting itself into
the future and seeing the mighty
struggles through which his Word
must adventure ere it reached en-
thronement in the hearts of mankind ?
We cannot but believe that such was
the case. Too we'll he knew the aw-
full depravity of the unregenerate
heart Of man; too well he knew the
fearful lust of pride and power
against which men must battle and
under which they must be ground to
powder; too well he knew by what
slow degrees the world would be
brought to realization of the fact
that but one human attribute can ever
be taken into the great Beyond-love.

not, how much less shall it know his
teachings without diligent study and
search?

people, as they approach the anniver-
sary of the Messianic birth, again to
fortify themselves with the teachings
of the Son of Man. We should look
into the national heart and see that
In the momentous conflict before us,
we harbor no unworthy motives by
which we may help to defer the con-
summation of his benediction, "Peace
on earth, good will to men," It would
be well that we again assure our own
hearts that we desire but the everlast-
ing Right and Truth.
Having, then, assured our hearts of
these things, let US revert to just one
incident in his life. Let us recall that
when he found the temple of God pro-
famed, with scourge of cords he
drove the profaners from it's precincts.

BROUGHT BACK FROM DEATH
Lineman Resuscitated After He Appar-
emily Had Been Killed by Touch
ing Heavily Charged Wire.

A remarkable case of resuscitation
after electric shock is narrated in
recent report Of an inspector of a
New York power company, which
gives particulars of the recovery Of
one of his men from the effects Of an
electric shock.
The man, when about to erect pri-
mary wires, was apparently killed by
accidentally touching wire carry
ing current at 1890 volts. A line
man Immediately took hold of the
ankles of the limp body, lifting it
until the whole weight rested on the
neck, and letting it fall. He then
took a pair of connectors and ham
mered the soles of the injured mans
feet without removing his shoes. An
other lineman opened the mans
mouth, pulled forward the swallowed
tongue (which occurs in electric
shock), and was about to begin the
Schaefer prone method of resuscita-
ton, while the man returned to life.
He was removed to the hospital, and
is now we'll, though suffering severe
ly from his burns.
Similar cases of recovery are men
toned in connection with the plan
of striking the feet without removing
the boots or shoes in case of electric
shock.-Scientifc American.
