the Lumber Trust said MOI
Clamoring that this country should
get into the world war, when urged
by the overburdened national admin
istration to settle the great strike
now on by granting the eight-hour
day, the Lumber Trust said mo-"
The Lumber Trust has no human
ity; it has no patriotism. 1t brushes
Labor; it robs the Government.
1t has a half million dollars for
slush fund; it has another half
million for advertising space in news
papers; the one to hire thugs and
strikebreakers, the other to befuddle
the public mind with its double
meaning figures. But it has not a
cent for Labor; it has nothing for
the Government.
1t says wages have been raised
40 per cent since 1913; it does not
say wages were reduced 30 per cent
in the same period!
1t says the cost of producing lum-
Der NOW is $14.59. This lumber is
sold, according to the Lumber Trust,
for from $3.50 to $1450. In this
year of unparalleled prosperity the
Lumber Trust has the figures to

GREAT WORKMAN SHOWS

The Great Workman Shows, the
biggest and best looking carnival
show opened weeks engagement on
the Robbins Baseball Park Monday
and will continue all this week. A
big jolly, good natured crowd was
out and the various attractions, 20
in number were well received. The
Whip, new idea in a riding device
was presented for the first time and
met with instant favor. This is the
newest and fastest riding device ever
seen here. In another large tent
is the Monkey Auto Races. Here
monkeys have been trained to ride,
drive and operate miniature autos
around a circular track. The COM
petitive races were much enjoyed
and the crowd was roaring with
laughter at their funny antics. Gully
Gully Mike and his big Oriental spec
tacle, Arabian Nights, has proven
that an oriental performance can be
presented without resorting to vul-
gar or suggestive tactics. Neptune's

the little girl that does the under
water work, called Anna Morecroft,
is show in herself. The big Wild
Animal Show is about the most pre-
tentious show ever seen with car
nival organization before. The per-
forming lions, bears, pumas, birds
and ponies met with hearty re-
ception. The Miracle, where the
marble statue turns to living wo-
man, has them all guessing. In fact
there are so many good shows that

Tender Meats.

Quick cooking will not make steak
tender; it must be tender in the begin
ming. But tough meat can be made
tender by cooking 1t very gently in a
gravy for an hour or more. BY brown
ing it first We give it a good flavor and
have scared the surface so that more
of the juice will be retained than If
raw meat were used. Some scraps of
fat are Drowned and an onion sliced
and fried in the fat. tablespoonful of
-four is added, and when 1t is mixed
smoothly with the fat a cupful of wa
ter is put in. The meat is put in the
gravy and left covered on the back of
the stove TO cook slowly. Later carrot
and turnip cut in cubes are added. and
twenty minutes before serving the po-
tatoes are put in. These have been
pared. quartered and left In cold wa
ter for thirty minutes.

A Boninu Process.

Legs and loins of lamb and mutton
are the meats ordinarily boned. The
butcher will do it, but If it must be
done at home wipe the meat and with
a sharp knife scrape the meat from
the bone, being careful not to cut
through the skin.

feet left on. Remove pin feathers and
SINCE. Draw tendons from legs by
making an incision just below the knee
joint, and with a. strong skewer draw
the tendons out one at time. Loosen
the skin near the feet and cut of the
feet. Make an incision through the
skin from the neck to the tail the en-
tire length of the backbone. Scrape
the flesh from the bones until the
shoulder blade is found, then scrapinS
around the wing joint. Scrape down
the backbone to the thigh, then around
the second joint and leg, cutting ten
donous portion when necessary. When
one side of backbone is boned, bone
the other, then remove flesh from
breastbone on either side of bird.
When flesh is all separated from bone

and, as for cut flowers, they can keep

ers long life.
There are several secret methods
which flower lovers practice to keep
the cut blooms fresh beyond the usual
length Of time. Every one knows that
to cut of a bit of the stems Of flowers
every day before immersing them In
fresh water will prolong their life.
Every one does not know, however.
that with woody stems it is a good
plan to peel or cut away part Of the
hard bark so that the stem can absorb
moisture.
A night bath for sturdy blooms Is
refreshing. Throw them, flowers and
all, into basin Of clean water.
The hot water bath will bring ap-
parently wilted blooms to life. Place
the cut stems Of the flowers In a jar
of steaming hot water and allow them
to remain there an hour or so until the
water has cooled of. If the flowers
are very wilted a lump Of camphor in
the hot water will sometimes react
upon them quicker. Salt water will re-
viye some flowers more quickly than
else.
4 corsage bouquet which cannot be
united can be sprinkled with water
and kept In the icebox overnight.
A florist gives the following way of
keeping blooming flowers for several
weeks: Stick the stalks of the flowers
In several inches Of damp sand which
has been placed in a bowl Cover
them with glass jar or tumbler and
move to a cool place where the sun
will not reach them.
Flowers benefit by massage The
Japanese find this a successful way Of

the way they should go.
Never keep flowers In a warm room

PINK MAYFLOWERS.

The little mayflower, or arbutus. is a
great favorite of mine.
Not only is the mayf1ower sweet
smelling. but it is sweet tasting. as any
little bumblebee can tell you. On the
hillsides or the borders of rocky woods.
where the flower generally grows, you
will In the sPringtime find swarms of
the bumDlebeeS hanging around the
flowers. into which they dive for q
drink of their delicious nectar.
| must tell you how the mayflower
got its name.
| have told you of the brave white
people who first came to live In this
country nearly 800 years ago. They
reached the land in the fall, and in
Massachusetts. where they had come
to stay. that winter was q very cold
one. They suffered much because the
food was scarce and the clothes which
they had were not warm enough. Their
English homes had been warm and
comfortable, but i'm the American for
est they had only poorly built log cab
ins, through the cracks in which the
chill winds often whiStled.
When the hungry wolves howled
lround their doors on wild nights or
hey could see the Indians watching
lem from behind the trees in the
:areat unclcared forest no doubt they
ften longed for the pleasant English
owns they had left. For the women
md children who had to stay much in
...oors it was very hard indeed.
But by and by spring came. and then
he settlers were able to be out once
more. And great was their delight
when the leaves came out on the trees,
when the bushes in the forest clothed
themselves I'm green and the grass ev.
erywhere became fresh and bright.
Here and there in the woods flowers
began to appear and first Of all among
them the little pink flower which we
have named the mayflower.
The little children gathered them and
carried them home to show their de
lighted parents.
And the women dug them up and
tried to plant them around the cabins
to begin little gardens. gardens that
they meant to make as much as they
could like the loved gardens which
they had left with their homes across
the ocean.
The flowers grew all about the pine
groves Of old Plymouth. where the
people had settled. and because the
flowers had come to them in May and
because the name Of the good ship that
had brought them to America had been
called the Mayfiower they so named
the flower.

ULTRA millinery.
How the Chinese Idea 10
Coiorins the New Hsadaear.

This season seems to have brought
with it two very different and distinct
styles Of hats, one in the usual colors
and the other a strong Chinese note
which dominates everything and pro-
duces most weird but wonderful eff
fects.
In the first class there is a hat some
what small In shape, with round, high
crown and narrow brim turned down.
This hat is entirely of soft peach COL
ored Grape. Directly in the front are
two round, fat ornaments meant to
represents flowers. One is Of Grape and
the other of satin. Both are pink, but
one is slightly deeper in color than the
satin one.
On either side Of the flowers are
leaves made of twisted loops of panne
velvet, held in place with tiny invisible
stitches. 1t is a very sweet and dainty
hat and one which any home milliner
can copy. for the fat flowers are made
exactly like fiat cardboard pincushions
covered with satin or velvet, only il
would be better to substitute buckram
for cardboard.
After the circles are covered with the
material buttonhole stitch around the
edge with heavy silk Of the same color.
making the stitches a quarter of an
inch long and the same distance apart.
The wonderful silks used to trim
these hats are often dull in color, with
here and there a truly oriental design
embroidered or printed In the most
blazing colors.
A hat will have crown covered with
silk as described eld a plain upper
brim and the under brim Of some soft
color near the face and an all over silk
pattern near the edge, three entirely
different Observation-Disclosures In tex
ture, design and color-all on one hat,
yet In perfect harmony Of color.
The conservative woman may not
look upon these hats with favor, but
sooner or later, being a woman, she
will succumb to the charm Of these
wonderful oriental effects. which are
chiefly Chinese in character.
Tassels still demand attention, even
on hats. A hat of dull blue straw
trimmed with black silk, with here and
there blue. green and gold motif, had
a long tassel extending from the center
Of the crown down over the brim. This
tassel was fastened to an odd cord af-
fair partly made of ribbon and partly
Of straw. 1t started from the center Of
a stiff little upright ruffie Of black rib
bon on the crown. and near the end
where the black and gold tassel was at
tached was an odd tricolored carved
bead.

ABOUT BABY WEEK
The ChiIdren's Bureau Has Start
ed the Campaign.
HOW ABOUT YOUR OWN TOWN?

First Week of May 10 the Best Time,
but Plan Your Work So II Best Fits
In With Local Conditions and Pre-
pares For Summer.
Prepared by the children's bureau
Washington
The 1917 baby week bids fair to be
an even bigger. more worth while cele-
bration than last years, but 1916 will
keep the distinction of being the year
when each community's provision for
the welfare of its babies was general
ly recognized as civic responsibility.
Have your baby week from the 1st
to the 9th of May If possible. This
date has been agreed upon by the bu-
reau and the General Federation Of
Women's Clubs as the time best adapt
ed to the varying conditions of differ
ent states.
1t requires only twelve months for
a baby to become one year old and
no longer subject to the hazards of
infant mortality, but there are still
many risks for him to encounter. He
is still absolutely helpless, although in
creasingly charming, and his parents
are as eager to keep him well and hap
py, as DESTROYS of sound advice, as they
were last year. Open out the 1917
baby week to include all children still
at home with their mothers.
Remember the mothers. Well cared
for, healthy mothers are necessary for
the health and happiness of their ba-
bies. Find out what your community
Is doing to insure to every mother
skilled advice and adequate care be-
fore and after her baby is born and
give the Importance Of protecting the
mother prominent place in the edu-
cational work Of the campaign.
And one word to communities where
infantile paralysis has been epidemic:
Mothers should be urged to leave the
baby at home during baby week. Any
feature Of the campaign involving the
bringing together Of numbers Of babies
must Of course be omitted, but such
features are not essential to the inter
est and success of a campaign. And
baby week will afford an excellent op-
portunity for giving information as to
the proper physical training Of children
with paralyzed muscles.
The baby week emphasizes the con-
structive side Of infant care. 1t ad-
dresses not only individual parents, but
communities.
The best test of its value will be the
work that follows 1t.
Undoubtedly every state board Of
health should secure what only six
states have at present-a special divi-
sion Of child hygiene. No city or town
should fail to provide instructive nurs-
ing service and to pay constant heed
to the problems Of hygiene and santa
ton, Of proper housing and Of recrea-
ton spaces, since all these immediate
ly affect the welfare of infants.
There are 5000 counties In the Unit
ed States. In every county seat there
should be a center for the health work
Of that county, a station for examin-
ing babies and older children and for
furnishing expert advice for keeping
them well-in short, a health teaching
center.
