hope of those suffering peoples. 1t
is tragedy because it is a hope
which cannot be realized in its per-
lection. and yet have felt besides
its tragedy, its compulsion upon
every living man to exercise every
influence that he has to the utmost
to see that as little as possible of
that hope is disappointed because If
men cannot now, after this agony of
bloody sweat, come TO their self
possession and see how to regulate
the affairs of the world, we will
sink back into a period of struggle
in which there will be no hope, and
therefore no mercy.
There can be no mercy where
there is no hope. for why should

The gathering is to be called to

to Mr.. Wilson.
About twenty executives are ex-

An rights rcSerrcd
MODERN methods and appliances
have made it possible for the
woman who must do her bit to help
finance the home to accomplish
with the least effort her portion of
the household duties.
Men folks tell us that many posi-
tions that formerly paid a living
wage are now occupied by women
and that frequently these women
chaff at the restraint and strenuous
efforts they must put forth to keep
at par and show results in this field.
Now that our boys are returning
home, many women can cheerfully
let them resume their former places
without loss of dignity. Nearly
{ every woman has a strong strain of
domesticity and the true. real home
making spirit of our pioneer ances-
tors, and if she is given a real op-
portunity will revel among the
pots and pans.
You know the day of the old-fash-
ioned servant is gone: and peace be
to her ashes. We now have in her
place the smart, tidy and efficient
worker, who is most willing to place
the household work upon real
business basis. She realizes that
we must eat three meals a day for
S65 days year, and that she will
have over 1895 different opportuni-
ties during the year to show her real
ability.
Now, if she is to be successful in
her new position, she must know
that the French, as no other nation
in the world, have studied economy,
and she must feel that the woman
who specializes in the preparation
of food is not only a large factor
in our domestic economy, but she is
also past mistress of the true art
Of maintaining life.
You al know that man comes
into the world hungry and then
-,spsnds the balance of his life OBJ
taining sufficient food to satisfy this
hunger. If one must live he must
eat. Many eat to live; others live
but to eat.

Can YOU make goou soup One
large company has made a fortune
canning soups. DO you know why?
Because these soups are uniformly
good; there is no hit or miss pIan
in their composition. One need
never guess how they will taste.
They know how. Can you say the
same for your efforts? Do you
realize that from this one industry
alone the average woman can
build a business that will show
splendid financial returns?
When illness occurs in the aver
age home, confusion and anxiety
preclude many times the possibility
of making soups and broth unless
actually compelled to do so Then,
again, if these products are made at
home they loudly proclaim their
manufacture. Hosts of physicians
will tell you gladly that they know
and recommend the maker of good
soups or broths. or a person who
could cater to the delicate and fin
icky appetites of the convalescent.
Large quantities are not neces-
Sary; rather make the broths,
stocks and soups every other day.
The most important factor in this
work is proper utensils. A kettle
that can be closed tightly and which
will help retain the delicate flavor
of the stock or broth is necessary.
1t is most important that this ket-
tie be used for TO other purpose.
