Hand in Hand

One OF the main reasons why there
has been such marked improvement in the
wholeSomeneSS and healthfulnesS in food prod
uCtS the last ten years has been on account of
the cooperation between pure food officials
and domestic SCIENCE teachers. These two ele-
mentS have been working toward common
end-Our protection against INSCRIPTIONS manu-
faCturerS who have not based their claims to
business on the quality, but rather on cheapness
and who, IN their endeavor to market their
products on price or quantity have often reSOrted
to substitution and to the use of unwholesome
material. Thoughprogfess has been made, yet
much remains to be done.
Mr.. Harry L. Eskew, Food Commits
sioner of Tennessee, has been very active in his
efforts to safeguard the health of the people of
his State. In the New York Journal Of Com
merce he has the following to say about So
called Self Rising Flour, which is Used in GER
tain sections: #
Il would not tolerate -four products like
some of the 'self-risihg -four sold in a large part
OF the South, the ConcomitantS of which are
alike unknown and not TO be ascertained by the
consumer and whose purity in the matter of
phosphate is open to serious question as a de-
Ceptlve agency"
When the need of Improvement of
certain TODD products is pointed out SO definitely
and at the same time is backed up BY thousands
OF domestic science teachers throughout the
country, 1t is quite natural that American house
wives will gradually become schooed in the
proper selectons of food producrs, and at the
same time demand proper labelling of all food
products.

tum of any of these men you would find
it not study or a boudoir but busi-

professional work seriously. He is
above all things a simple and sincere
type of the better American business
man.
'1t is surprising, also, how many Of
the leading authors are out-of- door

as a depicter Of studio and boudoir

that of angling with the artificial fly.

outdoor sports but Of the ability to
write of them entertainingly. Once
this was a vocation rather than an
avocation with him. Even to-day his
occasional unsigned articles in one OF

when he was young man Mr..
Hough practiced law in New Mexico
His life in that country made an in
eradicable impression on him. He saw
the West when it was the West and he
proved his ability to get on there
Since those days not year has passed
in which he has not spent a part of his
time in some part of the West. He

the best sporting regions of America,
and this is his favorite place for a
summer rest-rest being understood to
mean, for him, strenuous angling and
mountain climbing.
1T was in his Western wanderings

Cutting the

RGING utmost discretion in
"cutting' Shaksspeare's
plays for stage productions
Mr.. William Archer, who admits
that they probably must be eut to

ing to say in The Fortnightly
Review:
There 10 abundant evidence that
cutting was the commoaest o; practices
in Shakespeare's time, and there would
be no difficulty whatever in conceiv-
ing that he habitually wrote more than
he intended or wished 10 he spoken on

stance namely, ms carelessness as 20
the publication or his woras. Iaat ne
ever intended the Hamlet OF me
Folio to be acted entire is iaconeeiV-
able. He simply poured all his
thoughts into it, regardless OF time
or stage conditions But WY, then
did he not publish 1t in d carefully cor
rected edition. Faust and Peer Gynt
are manifestly written wiln TO Yiew
to the limits of the theatre; but
we cannot conceive Goethe or l5sea
making d stage version of his work
and then taking no trouble as 70 the
publication of the complete text. We
must admit that this conduct on
shakespeare's part is puzzlins. we
can only imagine that he proposed 70
superintend at leisure the publication
II his works. and that his eal.S deatn
frustrated his intention. There IS
nothing improbable in this theory;

7 INNING real nOvel1StS TO
'XA write motion pictures has
taken a long time and a
hard pull. Many have
tried it and only one has taken to
it. Now lot of them have sudden
ly followed Rex Beach into the fold,
and from report spend days doing
nothing but sign checks of large de-
nomination. Gertrude Atherton,
who wrote "The Conqueror," "The
Tower Of Ivory" "Perch of the
Devil" 'The Living Present" and
who is one of the recent devotees
before the film shrine, does not in
tend to reform the new art, but she
has some ideas Of her own about
the most popular of modern enter
tainments.
Mrs. Atherton likes New York as
a summer residence. She is now
living within a stones throw of Co.
lumbia University. 1t was there the
author, who had recently expressed
her resentment of the highbrow at
titude taken toward motion pict-
ures by second rate "intellectuals,"
talked interestingly of this and that.
Mrs. Atherton, with the proven
bial ribbon of deep blue velvet about
her throat, spoke of the advantages
which the "movies" have come to
possess. 81 go to the picture play
| house about once a week." she said.
II am not exactly a movie fan, but
| do enjoy pictures. A story we'll
told is story still, whether it is
told in words or photograph And
authors to-day should be grateful to
have their novels on the screen in
these days, when books have been
almost showed out of existence bv
the popular magazines. Personally
I am delighted at the opportunity
to reach millions instead Of thou
sands"
When one of Mrs. Atherton's
novels was recently produced in
pictures she discovered that the
star was playing three roles
daughter, mother and grandmother.
Only one had been noticeable to the
author in the book. However, that
was a legitimate exercise of director
and actor imagination. Mrs. Ather-
ton was much more intrigued to
think that "Perch of the Devil" had
never been produced, although
much considered. The trouble with
it, she discovered, was that she had
developed two leading women in the
novel. No star in pictures would
consent to play with a rival figure
throwing as long a shadow in the
silent drama But now that the
story is to be the star, perch of
the Devil will, it is understood,
probably get screening.
Perch of the Devil" Mrs. Ather-
ton intimated, was the first of

at once his young nephew, Georges
Salars, who had arrived the night
before to spend a few days at Mont
