KEEPING FOOD COOL

In very warm temperature mi
croorganisms multiply rapidly. Chill
retardS their development. This is
why food spoils so much quicker in
summer than in winter. Ii we
would keep our milk sweet, our
butter firm, our lettuce crisp, and
all our foods for longer period we
must keep them cool.
With an ice refrigerator, the prob
lem is solved, But there are times
and places where ice is not to be
had. For the farm, the camp. and
hot climates, the ice-lesS refrigera-
tor helps.
This makes use of the fact that
when water evaporates, it draws off
heat from surrounding objects.
Wrap your lettuce, your milk bottle,
your butter crock with wet towel
and they will keep in condition sew
eral hours longer than otherwise.
To make an iceless refrigerator,
use wooden frame with a shelf or
two or three. Leave one side open
for a door, and tack rustleSS screen
ing about the rest Cover this with
q jacket Of canton flannel. smooth
side out. On top set very slowly
leaking pan of water. The whole
apparatus must sit in pan to
catch the drip, if the refrigerator is
in doors. The pan on top of the re-
frigerator must be re-filled at in
tervalS, the water will Seep down,
keeping the canton flannel jacket
wet.
Inside a well made and closely fit
ting device of this kind. the tenn
perature is only a few degrees
higher than in an ice refrigerator.
For emergencies the principle of
the ice-leSS refrigerator may be ap-
piled in many unique ways.
One woman puts water in a
dish, sets her butter dish inside this
and covers it with an ordinary
flower pot, The porous material
Of the fIower-pot soaks up water.

THE WOMAN CITIZEN
What Is Child Labor?

An authority on child welfare de-
scribes Child Labor" as the en-
ploymcnt of any child under rs at
any task, with or without pay, I'M
der direction or independently,
which deprives the child Of the
proper measure of schooling, recre-
alton. ard healthy development
A certain amount of work is good
for every child. 1t builds character
and courage, and makes him able to
meet life with stamina. Skill in la
Dor comes only through labor, ana
enough of this to gain practice is
valuable. Some work makes every
body appreciate what is done for him
gives him sympathy with other
workers. and keeps him poised and
balanced.
1t is the too-great labor, the too
continuous, the too-hard, or too-de-
pressing labor which wears the
spirit out of children. And the in
terfering labor which cuts into their
development. That is child labor,
technically. which conflicts with the
well understood rights of childhood
to grow normally and to fit himself
for citizenship of a high calibre.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

Your handy friend when dessert
time comes is cocoanut. II is like the
fairy's magic wand; 1t can transform
Il very ordinary dessert into an extra
ordinarily delicious one. Cookies,
mullins. layer cakes. baked apples
stewed fruiA-all these are improved
if you sprinkle a little cocoanut on
them. Shredded cocoanut, in its con-
venient tubes. is now available at ev-
cry season of the year.
But be sure you use shredded CO.
coanut that is moist and bookkeeping
and that retains the full cocoanut
flavor. If you get it in a container
that has a replacable cover you can
be sure that it viii remain fresh and
moist to the last shred.

Women's Club Convention

and crowded.
Prepare to travel with others
from your part Of the country and
get acquainted on the way. Your
transportation chairman will tell
you how TO arrange 1t.
Register as soon as you arrive.
Remember that most of those at
the convention are much like your
self. Don't be Offish about speak
ing to them within reason. Per-
haps you will find some mutually
interesting tie, if you declare your
self. Perhaps the one you address
is even more timid than yourself.
Meet as many big and interesting
persons as you can, and feel the up
lift. Of course. you will not I'M
pose on them, for they have only
human endurance, but I imagine,
don't YOU? that they like to have
US meet and paw them homage, (Not
being in that class | can only guess
at it,
Listen and look and learn and
carry back home as many notes
and as much of the inspiration as
nossible to unbottle in your own
imagination when you return.
Dress? o yes, we do have to think
of it. We do not want to look IN
appropriate. Fortunately today
conventions are serious-minded and
business-like and the street dress, or
sport dress is the thing, with per-
haps one gown for the social func-
ton should there be one.
One of the finest things about
convention is that it makes us
realize that the world is full OF
splendid people. Here, there and
everywhere, like-minded people are
thinking and working for the same
ends. With women these are child
welfare. home bNtterment, educa-
ton improved Industrial conditions,
social health, joy, and service, and
international peace. II is cheering
to sec assembled the ten thousand
who have not vet bowed the knee to
Baal. We thought the elect were
few. but there are dear, good peo-
pie everywhere-which reminds us
Of Stevenson'S verse.
at is very nice to think
The world is full of meat and drink
With little children saying grace
In every kind of Christian place"

HAPPY THOUGHT

Keep on keeping on, Remember
ITS the coward who quits to mis-
fortune,
It's the knave who changes each
day
It's the fool who wins half the bat
tie,
Then throws all Ais chances away
There is little in life but labor,
And the morning may find that
4 dream;
Success is the bride Of cndeavor,
And luck but q meteorS CLEAN.
The time to succeed is when others,
Discouraged, show traces of tire;
The battle is fought in the home

And Won twixt the flag and the
wire"

Great conventions are becoming
very unconventional Less and less
they run to dinners and teas and
society functions, and more and
more to what the word means lin
suistically; coming together.
In convention today kindred souls
come together, physically, mentally.
and spiritually, and by exchange OF
thought, and experiences and aims,
reinspire one another, find solutions
for the problems each has met, or
unitedly plan bigger undertakings
than could be attempted separately.
Women are having their innings
at conventions now. We have just
had the Pan-American Conference,
the Y. W c. A. Convention with
its international flavor. The Inter
national Women's Council has Just
met at the Hague. The General
Federation of Women's Clubs Will
hold its convention i'm ChaUaUqua,
June 2l-3O. and the L. S. Fedora
ton Of business and Professional
Women will meet in Chattanooga.
july 1915. And there are others.
For the woman who has been 4
long time out of school and hungerS
for intellectual fellowship again.
for a new and broader vision, for
contact with big and interesting
people, the convention is the thing.
II furnishes the vacation de luxe,
taking YOU on a trip, amid new
scenes with the enthusiasm
which comes from mngling with
those who are thinking and working
along such lines as make especial
apneal to YOU.
To get the very most out Of YOUR

ard. Arrange many Times in adj
vance. Have your credentials made
out properly, to avoid embarass-
ment to yourself and confusion to

TAX THE AUTO OWNER
AND RELIEVE GEISHAS
BY B

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Tokyo (By Mail to United Press.
The geisha think the taxation pro-
gram Of the recent government is
fine-just perfectly charming. And
the owners Of automobiles in Japan
think the policy is rotten.
The debate wakes warm in all the
tea houses these days.
The new budget has trimmed the
taxes of all the geisha, who are the
mattresses and entertainers in Jap
anese tea houses. And 1t has added
another boost to the already stiff
automobile taxes.
In political circles the opposition
parties are laughing at what they
term a "bonelhead play" by the Sci
yukai, which is the party in power.
"The geisha can't vote, whereas
most automobile owners can. so
just wait until election day!' they
chortle.
If Japan's automobile taxes had
prevailed in America, Henry Ford
would have fliveerd before he ever
started. At present taxes and up
keep for one year here equal ap-
proximately the initial cost Of a
~low-priced car. Tin lizzies are few
and far between and any automobile
is a luxury.
