EXPERT GIVES ADVICE
ON CONSERVING MEAT

Conservation of meat as the most
appropriate means by which women
can adjust themselves to the war
basis was urged by Miss Ellen NJ.
Riggs, member of the Food Emer-
gency Committee, in an informal talk
on How to Conserve Meat" before
the citizens of Cleveland Park at
the John Eaton School, last even
ing
Substitution of meat by other foods
containing the same nutritfve value,
such as eggs, milk, fish, nuts, and
cheese. increase of vegetable diet,
wise selection and wise cooking are
the means by which conservation of
meats can be accomplished, Miss
Riggs explained.
Beef, mutton and pork were nam
ed by Miss Riggs as the meats
upon which conservation should be
centered. On that point she urged
that meat be utilized in all its parts,
the scraps being converted to soups
and chowders.
In reference to wise cooking she
said boiling gives the best returns.

HOROSCOPE.
Saturday, August Is, 1917.

The busy hours OF the day are not
strongly Influenced by the stars, Nep-
tune and Saturn ruling mildly for
good. Later Jupiter is in evil place.
The stars seem to presage business
fluctuations that bring great gain 10
a few and heavy losses to many.
There is a sign read as promising
for all who are hampered by some
physical disability. To these will come
an access of intellectual power and
new opportunities.
Saturn appears to give promise to
those who dig in the ground whether
as farmers, miners or soldiers.
The South and all parts of the coun-
try in which there is limestone should
benefit, the sears declare.
The new Moon finds Uranus in a
place that is not encoura ging for the
general conditions of the people of
the country, as il may cause a men
tai depression and discomfort.
There is a sign presaging a naval
engagement and apparently giving
peace sentiment a serious setback.
Jupiter Is in a place that is on the
whole favorable for the President and
the United States government
Aviation comes under a planetary
direction in the United States which
gives assurance OF supreme achieve
ments, but not until many disappoint-
ments. delays and difficulties are
overcome, owing to unexpected events.
Although statesmen shake their
heads, the stars appear to indicate
that the end of the war will not be
many months away. Astrologers de-
clare that Saturn and Neptune will
plague the Kaiser so successfully that
the final scenes of the conflict can
not be far of.
The Emperor OF Austria may be
seriously affected by the stars dur
inG this configuration. His life as well
as his scepter may be in danger.
Persons whose birthdate It is should
be very cautious during the coming
year when speculation will be most
unlucky.
Children born on this day may be
inclined to be extravagant. owing
to too great optimism.

FOR War SERVICE
League Starts Effort to Get More
Workers Here.

A drive for fifty recruits for the
National League for Woman's service
for work in the bureau of registration
and information of the league, which
has its offices in this city. was started
yesterday with the sanction of Her
bert c. Hoover, who is heartily In IA
vor of the leagues plans for the can
ming and conservation of foods, fruits
and vegetables.
The first recruiting division will
start Monday to work in canneries
in the State of Maryland under the
direction of Miss Teresa Haley, who
will superintend the work of the Sec
tion in the State of Maryland, where
the State authorities will cooperate
with the recruiters.
Several canneries OF Westminster.
Carol County. have asked the aid of
the league in placing women for the
husking of corn and the skinning of
tomatoes.
The pay is to be s cents a basket
and transportation will be furnished
free by the officials of the cannery
plants. 1t is understood that women
who wish to aid the nation in the
campaign for food conservation can
in this work earn as high as 50 or 81
a day.
No one under 16 years of age will
be accepted for this service, which is
expected to last about six weeks.
The majority of the canning done
will be used across the seas. as this
is the only way these vegetables are
shipped and the women will be doing
a patriotic service to their country by
ofering their aid in this second line
of defense.

The Cry of Nerves-For those who
can give the time, massage offers a

In the hands of a competent mssseuse
nothing is more soothing and more
restful, as well as rejuvenating. Care
must be taken in the selection of n
masseuse; not only must she be skill
full but her personality must be in
harmony with that of her patient.
Unhappily women are by nature an
tagonistic; this seems to be a primi-
tive instinct which they have not yet
entirely subdued. When, therefore, a
masseuse is selected who is not
thoroughly en- rapore with her patient,
more harm than good is done. FREE
quently a member of the family dis
plays an unusual aptitude for ad-
ministering this treatment in which
event plain alcohol rubs are a good
means of acquiring skill, at the same
time they are of much benefit to the
patient.
Massage of the spinal column be-

the tired nerves. 1t also chases away
the tell-tale lines that form here ana
there upon the face, and IL presisted
in, so tones up the nervous system
that a marvellous change for the
better is soon effected.
We are in the habit of associating
nervous breakdown only with those
who are strenuously occupied or who
worry excessively. There Is another
class-those to whom life is one long
grind! 1t is plain that these people
have either mistaken their vocation
or they are troubled with mentaI
strabismus. Life should be a joy and
work of some kind a pleasure. When
life has lost its favor, and our sur
roundings cease to stimulate, to
enthuse, then radical change of
some kind is imperative. Frequently
a mere shifting of scenes corrects
this trouble: in many cases of this
kind 1t has been found that the de-
velopment of hobby acted beneficial
ly. The cultivation of something for
which one has a talent or a taste,
may lead afar afield and open up
many channels of interest, and so
completely change the current or
ones life.

CALLS HER DIVORCE
A MATTER OF FORM
Mrs. Lloyd Lewis Also Says Sepa-
ration Was Necessary.

opecAl 70 Inc washington Herald.
Ocean Grove, N. J., Aug. 17.-De-
claring that the man who. her own
mother and father testified in her
divorce trial. had won her affections
from her husband was no more to
her than perhaps a hundred other
friends" Mrs. T. Lloyd Lewis has
made the first public statement of
her side of her marital difficulties.
which recently caused a sensation
here.
Mrs. Lewis is the 2s-year-old
daughter of the Rev. DIR. Aaron e.

mony before 10000 persons in the
great Ocean Grove Tabernacle. Her
husband. who obtained the divorce
from her recently on the grounds
of desertion, is superintendent of
the New Jersey Anti-Saloon League.
Both of her parents testified against
her at the trial.
Il never have had many friends
In Ocean Grove. People who under
stand will stick by me, and the
others don't care about. They are
not friends.
The divorce was merely a form
that We had to go through" Mrs.
Lewis continued. II believe in haY-
ing the courage of my convictions,
though for my fathers sake / re-
gret the publicity that it has caused.
Every one has been trying to
make scandal out of the case. though
they had to admit that there was
nothing immoral They just had
to do that. 1 am sorry that the
name Of any man has been dragged
in by implication. OF course. they
had to try to do it,
Mrs. Billiards. testimony was that
the man who won Mrs. Lewis af-
fections was the orgsnist In
church where she sang.
'Of course" Mrs. Lewis continued,
Mr.. Lewis and 1 are on good terms.
What would we have to fight about?
We hope to keep it quiet
Il don't know what my course in
the future will be. Just now I have
cold. which makes 1t impossible
for me to sing, and I will go away
for couple of months.
The children" she added en-
phatically. looking at the little
blond-haired boy and girl playing
in front of the house. will remain
with their mother
Asked whether she contemplated
a second marriage, Mrs. Lewis said:

it"

Well, since then have had ever and
ever so many letters Offering to CO.

the writers could.

MY Dear Miss Pickford-If It has
not come to your notice before this,
you will be glad to learn that there
aged according to a plan very like
yours of grandma and ten kiddies.'
Il think 1t was in a Chicago Sum-
day newspaper, several years ago,
that saw the article, together with
portrait of the woman whose kind
ness and wealth had made the homes
possible. Each home had its mother.
and, I think, seven children. When
an older child left the nest, a new
baby was taken in, so keeping the
graded ages of the normal family. AS
1 remember the originator was a Cal
ifornia woman. and the plan put into
operation there.
"I don't know where father comes
In. think he is part of the normal
home atmosphere. There must be
many a childless couple who have
the heart, IL not the means, and pos
sibly not the initiative or executive
ability, or whatever is required, to
organize such a center for child well
fare.
THE plan seems to me ideal. In
these present times especially it could
be multiplied indefinitely with infinite
good"
Isn't that splendid? Why, Just
imagine If all over the country we
could have such home groups to care
for orphans and those who feel are
much worse OF than orphans. the lit
tie unloved ones for whom nobody
cares, not even the father and
mother they belong to!
I always knew that there were any
number of homeless children, but until
1 wrote Petey and Anna, I never
dreamed that there were so many
many homes where a child was well
come.
One letter for Petey came from a
big farm. Just think of jumping out
Of that brass foundry basement right
into the country. You who live where
there are trees and grass and flowers,
in the restricted sections, and even out
in the real country where there are
farms, do you ever think of what it
might mean to go down a fight of
basement steps about seven every
morning, and up again at six, with
never one good long hike?
I'd like 10 get a snapshot of Petey
after we find his country home for
him, .perched right up on a fence in
a cornfeld, in overalls and old straw
hat, "galluses" and bare feet. and
singing or playing a harmonica.

And here's another thing. somebody
else wrote to me and said we ought
to have a motion picture like "Oliver
Twist" ''only dealing with a life like
Petey's. Oh, these little souls that
are born In surroundings and environ
ment that choke and stifie all their
longings and aspirations. II only one
could take Petey and put him right
into a picture. I'd love to have him
as my little brother. Wonder how he'd
like that? And we'd show Just how

ought to be able to each one to do
the work he or she loves best.
Somebody has said, I know, that
work is the expression of ourselves,
the souls output. So in my cottage
home idea, would want the boys
and girls to study and fit themselves
for just the thing they longed for
most.
I know one boy who has made boats
all his boyhood days. The first toy
he longed for was a boat, and he float
ed cakes of soap in his bath when
he was three years old, with a tooth
pick and a slip of paper stuck up
for a mast and sail.
Just try and think what 1t would
mean for him to have to dig under
ground in a mine all his days, when
his eyes longed and yearned for the

bad for boy like Petey and others
