Nearly two decades ago, when Great Britain
was fighting the BOer war, there was no more
valiant and able leader Of the South African
Dutch than Jan Christian SHUTS. When the
combat was over and England the victor, one Of
the men who, like Botha, labored hard to bring
about real amity between the British and the
Beers was this same Smuts
just as Botha rose to be premier OF the new
British united colony, so SHUTS rose to be cabinet
minister, parliamentary leader, and one Of the di-
rector of the armed forces in South Africa,
and administered singing defeats both to the
Germans and to the few treacherous BOer bands.
He has since been called to London, where, as
member of the kings privy council and Of the
British war cabinet, he has been one of the great
directing forces of the British empires part in
the world conflict
And now they are talking of him as the leading
probability for ommander-in-chief or general di-
rector of all the allied forces, if such post is
created
This constitutes one of the most romantic ca
reers in modern history. 1t is far cry from the
pale faced "Janny' SHUTS who was young adj
vocate in South Africa. And by the same token
it is sample of generosity that seems especial
" prevalent in Anglo-Saxon countries.
Great Britain has heaped honors upon its one
time foe, just as the United States delighted to
honor men who were at one time southern lead
ers in our great civil war. Democracies have
always found that generosity to big men of sound
timber pays.

chicken and vegetables for each

using this method.
Cut the raw chicken into
suitable pieces, place in econ

spoon salt to each quart jar.
Fill the jars with cold water.
but not SO full that the water
will boil over the top of the
Jar. Have about one inch of
space below the top.
Snap on Jar covers. Set in
boiler with boards or other
artificial bottom under lars.
Put stones or other weight on
top of Jars to keep them up-
right after boiling begins.
Add cold water until only one
third of height of jars is above
water. When water comes TO
boil. keep It boiling constantly
for 3k hours. Do not remove
covers of Jars after cooking.
This would admit air and the
sterilizing would then have to
be done all over again.
The secret of canning all
meats and vegetables is keen
Ing them at boiling heat until
the bacteria which would cause
them to spoil has been killed.
In all meats the time required
Is 3 hours. q allow az hours
to be positive). The time re-
qufred for vegetables and fruit
varies from few minutes for
some kinds to 4 hours for peas
and corn.
The economy jars should not
be tested for at least 4S hours
as the Jars must be perfectly
cold, otherwise the cover will
come off.
II the covers are tight at the
end of 4S hours the contents
Will keep perfectly.
Meats cooked before canning
must be boiled the same length
or time as raw meats or they
VIII spoil. The object Of boiling
Is to sterilizze and food cooked
and then exposed to the air
later Will require an equal
amount of steriliz.ng to destroy
bacteria. JULIA M.

The importance of fatherhood is mistaken by
many, who do not differentiate between the fathers
value as q prOvider Of funds and his value
ethical guide.
There is not very large proportion of cases In
which the state could not perform, without much
harm to the child the functions of the father, but
In only small proportion of could 1t perform
the functions of the mother without damage to the
child.
AS a matter of fact the trained mother almost
always could do better without the father around
the house than with him there Therefore IL is nee
essary. according to view, that the state should
train all mothers who will accept its training and
that IT should make provision against the separa-
ton Of any child from its mother save in those
extremely rare instances when the mother has
proved herself unfit.
In comparison with the number Of instances in
which fathers prove themselves unworthy and Elm
efficient the number of cases in which mothers
similarly fail is infinitesmal.

By Cynthia Grey.

There are few superflous fathers.
One may believe in pensions for deserted mothers,
nensions for the mothers of ilegitimate children,
and still insist that very bad father In family
is much better than no father at all.
A certain college woman became the mother OF
three sons. She had advanced notions about the
father being only "a biological incident" In chflds
existence So when her husband forgot his marital
VOWS 1t was easy for her to divorce him.
She was so sure she could succeed in being both
father and a mother to her sons. 80 confident
that their fathers presence IN the home would lead
his children into evil ways. She had been teach
err she was energetic she had q fortune. Why
bother with bad father ION the side In her other
wise perfect home?
By-and-by she remarked the man. She pro-
claimed to protesting friends that even an intell-
gent and conscientious mother is an awful failure as
father to her children. She failed to understand
her sons as they grew up. She could guide, nurse,
pet and sympathze with her big boys, but some
times they needed to be set right suddenly and
swiftly, without argument, reasoning, or entreaty.
So she restored her sons father to them.
Men covet their children's respect and admira-
ton. The older they grow, the more they want it.
Therefore, as children arrive at an age OF under
standing, bad fathers conceal their misdemeanors
from their offspring. And very often they reform.
Children are often the means of restoring father
to responsibility. Is 1t not then, crime for
mother to rob a father of his only chance OF be-
coming decent human being by thrusting him out
of the home? Is a womans personal suffering too
big price to pay for a husbands redemption from
wickedness?
1t must be admitted that there is tendency to
make man only "a biological incident in the life
of the child, to make him drone in the human
hive, to make him "superfluous" far as the
home is concerned.
All which is, of course, not 1t should be. Mans
responsibility for the welfare of his offspring keeps
him civilized
Men sometimes more brute than human, but
the worse man is the imperative it becomes
to force him to assume his responsibility for pater-
nifty.
KINGDOMS MAY BE OVERTURNED, BUT
NOT FATHERHOOD."
