Plants Keep Servants

Some plants employ insects to
work for them.
Several varieties of the acacia
use ants to protect them from the
attacks Of other insects.
The acacia knows or seems to
know, that there are ants that sting
and ants that feed upon flesh, as
well as others that eat nothing but
vegetable matter. The plant makes
use Of this knowledge to help it in
the choice of its employees.
The ant employed by the acacia is
called the peudomyrma. 1t lives in
the ground during the dry season
and Is able to sting like a wasp.
When the wet season arrives the
acacia throws out fresh shoots, and
into a hollow formed at the base
Of the new leaves 1t pours a sweet
liauid, something like nectar. This
nectar attracts the flesh eating and
singing ants.
A leaf-eating ant, known as the
saubs, attempts to carry off the
leaves of the acacia, but the sting
ing ants attack and drive II away.
In order to induce its employees
to make their homes In its branches
the acacia grows thorns filled with
ant food, Protecting ants make their
homes in these thorns, living upon
the food provided by the acacia and
acting as it's defenders against in
truders.

Woman Politician

The new type of woman in poll
tics is womanly, tolerant broad.
She is not afraid to be charming.
She works with, not against men.
When found in city, State and ma
tionhl affairs, she Is intent, not on
enlarging the circle Of her own am
bilious desires, but on strengthen
ing the woman-gift, the woman-in-
fiuence, in the affairs of the nation.
She is essentially a server. And
that is the sign of her fitness for
power.
This brave, moderate, unselfsh
type of political leader has, recog-
nized the profound truth that at
heart all good men-and for the
matter of that, all bad men, too
are for women; they are for women
whether they know IT or not. II
they don't know IL, II is simply a
matter of education, and more and
more education. But women, as
we'll as men, need education on this
subject of women's contribution to
mower. Both must learn that woman
is not in politics as usurper; she
is not striving to seize the reins OF
government; she Is not striving to
ape. initiate, or outdo man. What Is
abe there for. then? 1t Is the same
eternal object which has brought
her up on the quarterback In times
of crisis ever since civilization be-
gan. She Is In politics primarily to
safeguard the race from the indi-
vidual; to educate children; to de-
stroy those evils which menace the
home: to keep down vice and Hitter
acy; 20 see to II that the future gem

HOU Much Will q
TEASPOON Hold?

Five cubic centimeters is what
the Bureau of Standards has set as
the theoretical quantity a teaspoon
holds. but all spoons do not con-
fern to this. The housekeeper
measures with teaspoon and
should fiji it "level," not "heaping."
How many teaspoons does a pound
OF baking powder contain? Ap-
parently the number depends on
yourself upon the spoon used, upon
the brand of baking powder you
buy, upon the can in the lot which
you happen 10 get, and upon a few
other factors which though SEEM
ingly inconsequential, do enter into
the problem.
A ppund of baking powder lasts
longer with some cooks than it does
with others. In an endeavor to
learn where the difference is made
the experimental kitchen in the
office Of home economics of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture recently conducted a series
of experiments.
Various types of cooking tea
spoons were first experimental with
to determine the exact amount held
in each case. Both the ordinary
teaspoons and those measuring
spoons" which are linked together
in sets were tested. A variation of
from 126 to $50 teaspoons was
found in the same pound can when
different teaspoons were used.
The personal equation also enters
into the amount which is called
teaspoonful. 1t was found the diff
ferences due to individual manipu-
lation ranged from 10 per cent to 80
per cent. a wider range of variation
than those due to the different ca
pacities of different teaspoons.

Woman OMciates
At Wedding

A London correspondent writes
august 25): Probably England
has the distinction of performing
the marriage ceremony in more
ways than any other country but
a new form has been introduced.
The bridegroom was Douglas Slay-
den. a Writer and traveller, and the
bride Dorothea Duthie. Miss Maude
Royden was the officiating clergy
woman.
Nobody has been married by
a woman in this country before
Slayden said after the ceremony.
MY wife is a great friend or MISS
Royden, and was determined we
should be married by her. In order
to get on the right side OF the law
we first went to the registry Office,
and Miss Royden later read the mar
riage service"
The actual ceremony took place
at the Richmond registry office, but
the chief proceedings were in Slay-
denis garden, where the guests were
invited to hear IAN address by Miss
Maude Royden." There under the
shady cedars, Miss Royden conduct
ed the service, in the presence OF
the married couple and the invited
guests, who included Viscount Cave,
Lady White. Sir Max and Lady
Waechter, Lord Headley and Savage
Landor.
Miss Royden read what she term
ed the first poem on love in the
world-John /, Chapter 4-and next
delivered an address, with love in
the family and in the world as the
theme. She offered two prayers and
closed with the Lords prayer and
the Benediction.

FeedingA After
First Year
By Brice Belden, M. D.

URING the second year OF life
milk is usually given in con-
siderable quantity, but II a
child is to develop strong teeth 1t
is wise to give him food other than
liquid or semi-solid. A reasonable
amount Of milk will help to supply
the protein. but 1T should not con-
stitute the main reliance.
The cereals are another source Of
protein, that important tissue
builder of which the growing child
stands in need. Young vegetables
and fruit supply the salts. The
best vegetables are spinach, lettuce,
carrots, and potatoes. Especially
valuable are the iegumes (dried
beans, peas, and lentils).
Care must be taken in cooking
vegetables not to throw away the
water in which they have been
boiled, as it contains the salts that
the child needs. The water should
be boiled down and added to the
vegetables after they have been
strained.
A cup of cooke spinach con-
tains enough iron to supply a
childs needs in this regard for
several days.
FOOD DEPENDS UPON TEETH.
How solid the food should be de-
pends upon the number Of teeth
child has. AS soon as possible give
dry toast, zwieback, Holland rusk,
crackers and graham waters.
During the next two years egg,
minced meat, and coarse vegetables
like cabbage, caulifiower, parsnips,
turnips and asparagus are given.
The fruits are continued, and bread
and rolls are added to the dietary.
Beginning about the age of four
the child should be permitted to
dine with the family. Particular
care must be taken to see that he
chews his meat instead OF having
1t minced. 1t is at this time that
the habit of bolting food is apt to
be formed, which not only leads to
indigestion and disturbances OF
nutrition. but also deprives the
teeth OF the exercise which de-
velops them and makes them
strong.
At this age the milk should be
further reduced and all sorts OF
vegetables and fruits given; but
most children will themselves re-
fuse to take the milk.

CHAPTER XXI


To have returned after three
years abroad and TO have slipped
back into the conventional life Of
the circles to which he had been
accustomed in the city OF his birth
might not have been very easy for
Cleland. To readjust himself
among what was unfamiliar proved
easier, perhaps. For his family
circle existed no longer: the old
servants were gone; the house had
been closed for a long time now.
At his college club unfamiliar
faces were already in the majority,
men OF his own time having moved
on to the University. Union.
Racquet and knickerbocker leav-
ing the usual residue OF undesir-
sbles and a fresh influx from his
college. And he was too young in
letters to be identified yet with any
club which meant anything except
the conyeniences OF a hotel.
Among friends and acquaintances
OF his age there had been many
changes. too; much shifting and re-
adjustment of groups and circles
incident to marriages and deaths
and the scattering migration ever
in progress from New York.
CHOOSES THE EASY AND SIMPLE.
1t was an effort for him to pick
up the threads again; and he did
not make the effort. II was much
simpler to settle down here in these
quiet, old-t ime streets within stones
throw of the artists quarter OF the
city where Stephanie lived-where
a few boyhood friends of artistic
proclivities had taken UP quarters.
where acquaintances were easily
made, easily avoided; and where
the informalities of existence. made
life more easy, more direct, and,
alas, much more irresponsible.
Chelsea, with a conscious effort
and a lurking smirk. mirrored the
Latin Quarter to the best of its
ability.
1t did pretty we'll. Their, were
more exaggerations. more eccen-
tricities. less spontaneity and less
work in Chelsea than in the Latin
Quarter Too many of it's nomadic
denizens were playing a self-con-
scious part; too few of them possess
ed the intelligence and training
necessary for self-expression in any
creative profession. Otherwise,
they were as emotional, as casual.
as unkempt, as vain, and as i'm
provident as any rapin of the orig
inal Latin Quarter.
Cleland met many of the elect
even before he had settled down in
his new studio-apartment on the
top floor of the same building
= where Stephanie and Helen lived.
