JOHN BURROUGHS

TOIN Burroughs is dead. As
y an American citizen he was
simply grand, and as friend
and neighbor he was grandly
simple. Like Walt Whitman, he
was entirely free from the pomp
and glory which attends great
ness, and his dearest delight was
in roaming the woods, adown
winding streams, listening to the
song of birds, the drone of insect
life, and drinking in to his full
the nectar which flows from
Natures divers springs.
John Burroughs also liked peo-
pie, but his tastes were uncer-
tain, Once having given his con
tidence to person, such a per-
son could depend upon his abid-
ing friendship. 1t is difficult to
think of two great men whose
tastes were more opposite than
Theodore Roosevelt, the born
fighter, and Henry Ford, the born
pacifst. Yet Mr.. Ford and Mr..
Roosevelt We're two of John
Burroughs closest and warmest
friends. 1t was Roosevelt'S love
of outdoor life which drew to
him John Burroughs, and it is
Henry Ford love for common
humanity which attracted the
sweet friendship of great, com
mon, big-hearted, natural John
Burroughs.
Burroughs was not sectarian in
his religious views. The first
book we read by Burroughs was
entitled "The Light of Day" and
it was a feast for our hungry,
inquiring soul. 1t was written
to show the reasonableness of re-
ligion, and the fallacy of super
stition and traditional cant. The
light in the cave he describes in.
his book was not a torch used
by spooks and ghosts, but ray
of sunlight stealing through an
aperture in the walls-it was
the light of day" He describ
ed the emigration of the men
from the worn out dogmas of a
century ago, to the emigration of

nDkSAUSE love you--yes.
- dear, l do"
You've probably heard the
line: there's hardly a cabaret or
dance hail In Seattle that hasn't
used the song In recent months
It's kxy. pleasant little
song. strongly suggestive of
moon-lit bowers. the fragrance
OF honcySuckic--and the pres
ence OF an infinitely desirable
BIT OF femininity.
All of which simply goes 20
show that you never can tell.
Because that song-"f Love
You so" IL It's official titie-was
conceived OF tho pungcnt fumes

seat OF a fllvver and nursed 20
a lustry ehildrood tween bumps
on a country road.
Mark Miner. s5f ftth ava.

Is the author OF the song.
Much of his work Is In the
rural schools of the county.
which employ him 10 teach the
violin and the piano-so he
makes long jumps every few
days. riding In his rivver from
country school TO country
school
Miner enjoys the,s rides:
partly because Of the fresh air
and sunshine: partly because of
the lure OF the open ruad--hut
principally because OF the music
Of his nivver.
Some musicians might not nke
niyver. they think they're
dirty and common. and that their
ciatter Is the very anuthezis Of
real music.
But Miner isn't that KIND OF q
musician. lie loves his rlvver.
and treats II just as II n were
an intelligent horse. In return
for which the 1ivver sings to
him-such songs.
The buzz Of the motor, ire
pounding OF the loose bearing:
the ciank Of the cracked ran:
the Zap OF the loose curtains
everyone Of these has q meaning
for Miner.
And. as he drives over tire
lonely country roads. he smuscs
himself by translating the fIiv-
vcrs song into readable notos
and sharps and Oats.
He aid this for years. without
making any use Of the music
he considered himself q teacher,
not composer. and 50 never
bothered to send the songs to q
publisher.
But last summer an act at q
local theatre offered a prize for
the best song written By an
amateur here
More IN spirit OF idlereHs
than anything else. Miner sub.
mitted one Of his fiivver songs
and. to his intense surprise, It
won first prize.
After thinking II over ne do
cided IL was just a fluke OF luck
but later he found that II was
gaining a genuine hold every
where. One dance han used IL
for solid month: cabaret after
cabaret turned TO II: II even
spread TO the steamship orrhes
tras. and was played In Europe
and the Orient
Finally Miner came to the con-
clusion that his flivver songs
were worth actual money 10 him
so now he's planning 10 invade

n 10 woman welcomes the thought that her cooking
y efforts not always crowned with success Yet
isn't it fact that the best of cooks like leaders in other
lines must occasionally admit failure?
One woman bakes the tenderest pie crust, yet has
poor success with doughnuts. Another makes the
most tempting biscuits, yet fails when it comes to fried
potatoes. Another is queen of wa1es fritters, pam
cakes, croquettes but approaches with misgvng the
baking Of cake. Many woman has her own paric-

many suggestion whereby even her best recipes
improved.
These helpful talks based on the actual expert
ence OF women who have failed in department of
cookery A well-known cooking expert tells how, by
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1921-10-10

following the simple FARGO method success is assured
every time
FARGO is gistenng white fat of creamy consistency
Wholly vegetable, it has no odor or flavor of its own
but how it does bring out and develop the flavor of
everything for which it is used! does not absorb food
havors odors, and SO may be strained and used
and over again. The kitchen remains free from
smoke because FARGO does not smoke at the usual
frying temperatures.
Success from Failure
Even the can in which FAIRCO comes is different-a
sanitary contaner with clean friction cover which can
be removed and replaced at will without using can
opener.
Naturally, we want every woman who cooks to use
FARGO; but want her to learn of its superiority not
merely in her successful recipes but in the recipes
with which she does not always have success For
FARGO brings success out of failure as you will learn
by following the FARGO talks. Talk Number
will deal with the problem of "The Pie Failure
and the way OUT. Every woman with pie crust
dread should read it.

SAVE THE BABIES
MRS. VANDERBILT

New York, Feb. 1O.-Seventy
thousand babies in this country and
5000 in New York City died need
lessly in 1920 before the expiration
OF the first month of their lives,
said Mrs. William X. Vanderbilt. a
member of the Advisory Council of
tho National Organization for Pub
lie Health Nursing, today. She con-
tinued.
Public health nursing in 1890
lowered the death rate of mothers
at childbirth to 1.3 per thousand as
against a general rate of 81 an.
nounced by the Health Department.
For 4,496 infants under one month
receiving care under the supervision
of the Maternity Center Association,
the death rate was lowered to 10
per thousand as contrasted with a
prevailing rate of So per thousand
among those who had had prenatal
care, while the rate in the city is
general was as.
In both classes the caving, due to
prenatal and postnatal care. was 81
babies out of every thousand. With
that same care / the country's 1000
600 annual confinement cases, the in
FAINT saving would have been. 10000
for the United States and 5000 for
New York City.
Experience in both Boston and
New York indicates that nursing SER
vice would save annually nearly TO-
900 mothers who die in this country
at childbirth, a cause of death among
second only to tuberculosis.
