CECuLA DE RYGEWAY.

The first woman to go on a food
 strike" as a protest against imprison- meut was not one of the modern English suffragists. The latter may have derived that idea from the ex- ample set in the fourteenth century by Cecilia de Rygeway who, about 50e years ago, was released from prison after having remained mute and ab- stained from meat and drink for forty days. The fair Cecilia was lodged in Nottingham gaol to an sWer the charge of having murdered her husband, John de Rygeway. From the first day of her imprison- ment she refused to permit food or
 drink to pass her lips, and said never a word to anyone. Her case was brought to the attention of Edward III. who, it is recorded, was con- vinced that she had accomplished these feats by fully trustworthy tes- timony," for which reason, "and for the glory of God and the Blessed Virgin, to whom the miracle was ow- ing, the monarch granted the woman a full pardon. .

CANNING SEASON WITH US
 AGAIN

Do you like dandelion greens? They can be had for the digging and if you like them fresh, you will like them canned. Those who tried out the cold-pack method of canning, the method which the government rec comends, are more than enthusiastic about the products they have put up and declare that they are going to can even more this year than they did last year.
 Now is the time to start your can- ming. Dande1ions are the first vege- tables which appear and before long fresh. The surplus should be canned for next winters use.
 To Can Dandelions.
 Can greens the day they are picked. Wash clean, sort thoroughly, allowing no foreign weed leaves or other veg etable matter to remain. Rid the greens of sand, dirt and dry and de- cayed leaves. Put the greens in a square of cheese-c1oth and blanch in live steam for 15 minutes. An impro- vised steamer may be made by placing Sl1Idll W440 ScAhO SOO1SL III d hClIl0 with just enough water to create steam, the water should not come above the cake cooler or other plat form on which the greens rest. The kettle should have a tight cover. Blanching is a term used in canning | which means a preliminary cooking of the product to reduce the bulk and remove strong favors and acids which you do not wish in your canned veg | etables or fruits.
 Remove greens from sreamer and plunge quickly into cold water. Pack l tight in hot jars (gIass top jars are best.) Add 1 teaspoon salt to eact quart. With the handle of a spoon | loosen up the pack, pour hot water in to fill the jar. Place new rubber ring in position and partially seal To Partially Seal. G1ass-top jars-Put bale over tor of jar, but do not press down clamp. Mason type jars-Screw down the top with thumb and fourth finger and you will not make the top air tight.
 To SteriIfze.
 Sterilize 120 minutes in hot water | bath outfit; 60 minutes under lbs. steam; 40 minutes under 10 lbs 1 steam.
 Do not count the time until the water actually boils in using hot-wat- CT bath outfit.
 l Remove from canner, tighten covers of jars. Press down clamps of glass top jars or screw tops down air tight of Mason type jars.
 A Homemade SteriIizer or Gamer.
 A sterilizer can easily be made from a clean wash boiler, or any containel which is dep enough to put a plat form of wire or strips of wood in the bottom which will hold water enough to come at least two inches over the tops of the jars.

NEW ECONOM PL AIMED FOR
 HOUSE WIFE

A new war economy which will find its way into every household, is being planned by group of the country's leading manufacturers Of enameled, galvanized and tinwares. The means under consideration is the elimination of a great many of the less serviceable sizes.
 In the past tendency has been to multiply the sizes and styels of ar ticles in enameled ware in order to meet the personal preference, which is often merely the whim of the users in the different sections of the coun- try. The necessity of conserving the supplies of steel, enamel and other materials, which are needed for war use, as well as of conserving the labor of the nation, has suggested the el- animation of many of these less used sizes and styles. In several instances the abolishment of half sizes will be the principal restrictions, and in still others the previous production of six or seven sizes will be cut down to four or five, says George P. Benjamin, secretary Metalware club, New York. This elimination of number of sizes in enameled ware will occasion no inconvenience to the housewife, it | is believed. It will rather coordinate the equipment of her own kitchen by giving her more pots and pans in con- stant use and fewer that remain on the shelves the greater part of the | time.
 The use of enameled ware uten- sils has greatly increased since the l beginning of the European war, and i some of them are in use in practically every American home. In a great many of the country's hospitals, ho- tels, and, at present, in the principal army centers, enameled ware is used
 entirely for the higher grade work supplanting crockery, because of the lss liability to breakage under the | rough conditions of army life. It is estimated that American housewives now buy enameled ware utensils al
 the rate of $3O,OOO,00o yearly.
 The standardization plan of thest manufacturers is only one of several steps which they have taken to con-
 serve the supply of their own good: in order that materials might be re- | leased for war uses

ETIQUETTE

Holding hands while at the moving picture show is both improper and sil- Iy. Besides, one is sure to be found out)
 Donald-When the lady who accom- panied you to the theatre was called to the telephone in the lobby, you should not have allowed her to walk up and down the. aisle alone. You should have gone with her to the tel ephone booth and have waited nearby until she was ready to return to her seat. Had you been in church or any other public place, you should have paid her this attention in similar ciT- cumstances.
 Kit is not proper for you to kiss the young man good-hy, even when he goes away to war; unless you are en- gagged to marry him; and since you are still so slightly acquainted with him as to call him MT. R." when you are talking to him, you must not address him by his first name when you write to him unless he asks you to do so.

W 0 M EN PROVEN AS STRONG
 AS MEN

pr. Celia Ruel Mosher and Prof. ford Univertity, after conducting ex- haustive tests, state in the Journal of the American Medical Association:
 ''Ther is no difference in the mus cular strength of women and men which is due to sex, as such. Such differences as are frequently found are due to differences in the use of the muscles, brought about by the convention al limitations of activity or by dress. Marked overweight or marked underweight tends to lower the strength factor as does also lack of coordination which is too fre- quently found in women and exagger- ated by their scant physical activity in childhood. The effects of muscu- lar training persist long after the par ticular exercise has seased. A high degree of muscular power in a wom- an in no way lessens her radical ef- ficiency."
 There is a popular feeling that women are essentially weaker than men, says an editorial in the Okla t4OAld %AuuJOll0LI0p COL1hOuC1uS on the above. Men are urged to give up seats in street cars, to lift the heavy weights, and in all such ways to save womenfolk for successful mother hood.
 This advice, moments thought | shows, is sound and in no way takes from the fact that women may be, to start with, quite as strong as men. But there is a difference in their use of muscles. Too few little girls have been allowed to be tom-boys in their childhood. And that women have been hamered by dress and con- vention is too obvious to need com ment. It is also true that certain muscular functions are performed by men than by women, and vice versa. Deliberately educating girls to ex- ercise, to grow strong is one of the most necessary things for parents and schools which have young people in charge to devote themselves. There is sharp line between intelligent | care of the health and indulgent mol | lycoddling of it. The former leads to 1 strength and the latter to weakness And weakness of all kinds is unnec- essary, either in men or women.

it. As Madame had intimated, it was my style and I looked exceptionally well in it.
 In the first place, the frock fasten- ed at the back with row of gray bullet buttons, placed very closely to- gether, and buttonholes bound with the crepe. There's a certain youth and ornamented with a simple de- sign in soutache braiding, of the same tone as the material. The bodice was also gathered quite full above the fitness about a frock with buttons at the back that is lacking in any other.
 The bodice was shirred rather full to pointed yoke of Georgette, the points extending we'll over the shoul- ders, giving a graceful slope to the sho1lderline. The yoke was shallow The sleeves were of the bishop type, gathered at both the top and bottom. The wristbands were pointed an braid ed to harmonize with the yoke. They were fitted snugly, fastening on the inner side of the arm with tiny gray buttons and eyelets. Miss Ballinger\is of medium height and slender, so Madame designed the skirt of the frock with a yoke that hangs in straight lines, instead of be- ing fitted to the figure in the usual manner. The lower portion of the skirt was arranged in pleats with a box pleat in the center-front. The waistline was finished with a broad sash of Georgette with braided ends. It was drawn twice about the waist and tied in a small, butterfly bow in front.
 The frock had a drop skirt of gray chiffon with a border Of tucking fin ished at the top with a row of hem stitching. Bows of gray ribbon, with picot edges, add to the daintiness and charm of the petticoat. Every stitch in the frock was done by hand-even the braiding. | There's nothing wrong with that dress" said Madame. Tt has MiI1i- cent Ballinger written all over it, and Claire looks very lovely and little girlish in it, doesn't she? Let it be just as it is, Miss Westley. I hay, asked Miss Ballinger to come in this afternoon to try it on before it leave: the studio.
 There is another task in store fol you, Claire-hats to be tried on, some that Marcelle just sent down from the workroom."
 So I shed the little gown of Quak. er-gray and hurried after Madame tC ltry on coquettish millinery.

NERVES.

The very best cure for a case of nerves is to keep busy. If you can- not find any work of your own, help some friend who has more to do than she can possibly accomplish.

You never heard of a washerwoman being ner- vous Nervous women are sure to have wrinkles and you will never get rid of them until you get better con trol of your nerves.

The edges are over bound with a cream silk braid. This blouse ends at the waistline. It is practical, as a lace stock jabot could be worn over it, as the pink is so faint as to be really flesh color.

WHEN SHOES ARE WET.

When you come into the house
 with wet shoes do you cast them asidec arelessly? Fit a pair of shoe trees into them and set them in a good, warm spot to dry. That is the proper thing to do. But be sure that you do not put them in a very hot place, for wet leather which is ex- posed to much heat frequently cracks. if for any reason you have no shoe trees at hand, try stuffing paper to keep them in shape.
