WOMAN PLAYED HEROIC
PART IN The CIVIL WAR
Gave Husband and Sons and
While They Were Away Dill
gently Cultivated Plantation.

Charleston, s. C.-During the first
days of that most lamentable conflict
that we now know as the civil war
little woman in this state gave her
husband and their four grown sons to
fight for the cause that to her seemed
just. She was not belligerent; she was
brave. A few years later a neighbor
brought her word that all but the
youngest boy had been killed, says
Hapsburg Liebe Of the Vigilantes.
"You shouldn't have sent them ALL"
said this neighbor. "You should have
kept two of those boys at home"
IF I had q dozen to send l would
have sent them," the little woman re-
piled very readily, very calmly. "And
/ know that my men went down in
their boots, doing distinguished service.
You see, know my men,"
At the end Of the war the youngest
boy returned. He was captain, and
not captain merely by courtesy. As
he rode through the old plantation he
saw to his intense surprise that it was
in fair state Of cultivation and that
foodstuffs had taken the place Of COT
ton. He had expected to find those
broad acres filled with weeds and bri-
ars. As soon as he had proudly greet
ed his mother and been in turn proudly
greeted by her, he spoke Of this.
'That was my part" she told him.
"You couldn't fight without having
something to eat, could your

Select foods of nourishing and sus-
tanning qualities.

sible.

Employ peanut oil instead Of lard or
other shorteners.
Use pulverized instead Of ground cof-
fee, brown sugar instead of white and
cornmeal instead of wheat flour.
Substitute rice, beans and fish for
meat, and remember that green "ba-
nanas baked in the skin are far more
nutritious and easily digested than ripe
ones.
Cultivate every available inch Of
ground, window boxes included.
Practice absolute cleanliness and help
keep down plaques and pestilences.
Boycott every dealer who attempts to

In cleansing them.
"None of the clothing l handle is

Mrs. Marie Lusson seeks to prevent
Miss Cuthbert erecting a laundry in
the rear Of her lot in Ardmore, Pa.
Mrs. Lusson says that laundry there
would be undesirable, unhealthy and
in violation of building restrictions.
In the testimony experts said laun-
dry would be unobject1onable; that
there would be no. dirt, no noise, no
smell and, in fact, no reason why this

Among the 300 members present

In Japanese public life. Viscount Ka-
nekO ex-minister of justice, presided
and the principal speech was made by
Baron Goto, ex-minister Of communi-

Baron Goto said: There are few
questions of such vital moment to the
welfare of mankind as the relations of
Japan and the United States. The era
of the Pacific promises to surpass that
Of the Mediterranean or the Atlantic.
All the forces Of the east and west
will meet. Will they Unite or clash
I believe it lies in the power Of the
United States and Japan to answer
that question, on which the future
happiness and progress Of the world
will depend. For this reason the re-.
lations between Japan and the Unit
ed States are Of supreme Importance.
With the awful responsibility that
they owe to mankind, will Japan and
the United States work hand in hand
r will they turn their backs on each
other? I hope the two nations will
find principles on which to base abid-
ing relations of mutual trust and con-
fdence."

PLAN FOR DEAF AND DUMB.
Intensive Production of Munitions In
France Gives Them Chance.

Intensive Production Of Munitions In
France Gives Them Chance.
Paris.-The intensive production of
munitions in France, with its enor-
nous requirements in hand labor, has
opened up new future for the deaf
and dumb, who before the war were
excluded from factory work. Now
hundreds Of them are making shells
and parts Of automobiles and aero
planes for the army. Some are earning
the equivalent Of 81 day.
Manufacturers refused deaf and
dumb help previously because of en-
ployers' liability laws. There were
also prejudices against them because
Of the supposed difficulty of conveying
orders. In practice it has been found
the deaf and dumb meet with no more
accidents than their comrades: Fhey
learn even more quickly than do many
normal WOrkmen, and their attention
never being diverted by conversation
their output is Of the best finish and
equal in volume to that of the best me-
chanics.
The minister of armament has issued
a circular to directors Of hand labor in
munition factories ordering them to
prevent discrimination against deaf
and dumb applicants for employment
as mechanics.
