Among the many activities Of All
club girls meal planning and food
preparation are always popular, be-
cause the knowledge gained can be
directly applied In their own homes.
Young girls usually like to know how
to cook certain things, like baking bis
cults or cake, or helping their mothers
with the canning. Frequently they be-
come skilled In preparing one or two
special foods, but the art Of getting
all the parts of a meal together at
the same time is one that must be
learned, and, in many cases, so is the
sister art Of serving a meal that it Is
dainty and attractive. There is all
the difference In the world between
just putting food on the table, and
serving it In the correct way, which
Is also the simplest, easiest, most
graceful way, calculated to give n
feeling of pleasant restfulness to those
who eat 1t.
Plan Suitable Balance.
In club work, therefore, it has been
found advisable to show these girls not
only how to cook each part of a meal
properly, but how to plan it so that
there will be suitable balance in the
diet and also so that the various
dishes will be done at the hour set
for the meal
Table setting is part Of the instruc-
ton in meal planning. The girls in
the photograph. which was taken in
Albemsrle county, Virginia, by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, are being shown the right way
to set the table. The club agent ap-

Honey Instead of Sugar

Honey may be used in place of
sugar, cup for cup in many cake and
cookie recipes. In addition to it's
sweetening qualities, honey is about
one-fourth water, and the amount of
liquid called for in the original recipe
should be reduced accordingly when
honey is substituted for sugar Many
honey recipes have been tested by the

ture and bulletin containing them

On June % next the Royal Area
mum will celebrate it's forty-ninth an
niversary, and at the forthcoming
session of the Supreme Council,
to be held June 21-27th at West Ba-
den Springs, Ind, definite arrange
ments will be decided to properly cell
citrate the golden anniversary one
year hence From the modest begin
ming of nine incorporators (only one
of whom is still living) there has de-
veloped an organization which has al
ways been numbered among Americas
stalWart fraternal institutions. There
are now 1889 councils in the United
States and Canada, with total mem
bership Of 10000. The State of New
Jersey has IS councils and a member
ship. of close to 1000. Practically
every good-sized community in the
State has a strong local organization,
with a splendid personnel of member
ship.
The latest annual report submitted
to the insurance commissioner of Mas
sachusetts (upder whose stringent
laws the Royal Arcanum is incor-
porated) will show that the organiza-
tion is financially stronger today than
at any period of its history. 1t has in
invested funds a total of $17027 ,955.44
and an excess Of resources over all
known liabilities OF $1S,174,964.12-
The acturiaI solvency of the order will
this year prove it to be nearly l06
per cent.
In order to keep in the forefront of
the insurance field, the Royal Area
mum is now issuing six different types
of legal reserve, American experience
table, certificates, the most popular
one being the twenty-payment life
form. More than $232,000,0OO has
been paid In death claims since the
inception of the order; over 100000
has been disbursed for old age bens-
fits and $15O,OOO for total disability
payments. Surely a record for the
members to be proud Of, going into
the fftieth year of its history.

ton of the sterling character of the
leadership manifested by Grand Re-
gent Jacob Serbia Of Newark during

BurrouOing by WOmbGf
Made Melbourne ssDr1

The wonbat, in spite of its disarm-
lngly comic name, has won itself an
unsavory reputation by causing a
landslide and interfering with Mel
bourne's water supply according to
Australian cablegrams. Burrowing
wombats let loose 20O0O,O00 gallons
of water by undermining an aqueduct.
The wombat can be easily recog-
nized as an animal that looks like a
little bear, has pouch like kanga-
roo, and can only hiss unless 1t has
hair on its nose, in which case it can
grunt AS it is only from two to
three feet long in full growth. it is
available as a pet.
A wombat was once noted in Lon
don. 1t belonged to Dante Gabriel
Rossetti, who had a feud with William
Morris pet owl and stuck stanchly
by his wombat. The beast, it is said,
was forever getting away, and as the
wombat sleeps by day and wanders
at night, late pedestrians on London's
gas-lighted streets sometimes got the
shock of their lives.
The animal is shy and gentle,
though 1t can bite. The halry-nosed
variety, which grunts, is found in
southern Australia. There are other
varieties in Tasmania and the islands
of Bass straits. Some of these are
shaggy, some silky and smooth. They
ali shuttle on short legs and live on
the ground or in burrows and rock
holes. None of them has visible
tail, but only rudimentary stump
hidden by the coat.
They come in brown, gray, black or
yellow. The soles of their feet are
full of bumps. Their teeth grow con-
tinuously, with persistent pulps, and
are chisel-like, although the wombat
diet is chiefly grass, roots and herbs.
The creature burrows, and that is why
Melbourne's taps ran dry the other
day.

To Map From AirpIanes

Forty thousand square miles Of
country covered by snowcaps, great
forests, glaciers and volcanoes in
southeastern Alaska will be mapped
the coming summer from the air. For
years the geological survey has been
struggling to complete its maps of this
part of Alaska but the ground survey
has been slow and in many places al
most impossible. So the navy has
been asked to assist. The territory
to mapped extends from the Aleu-
tfans and the Valley Of the Ten Thou

country, fogs and clouds present haz-
ards Most Of the mapping will be
done from an elevation Of 10000 feet.

Kings Speech Seldom
Great State Document

As q rule little attempt Is made to
prepare a "king's speech" which can
be called a great state document. In
the last conservative government be-
fore the war there was speech on
one occasion which had been so much
maltreated in the process Of revision
that the clerk to the council apollo
gixed to the lord chancellor for the
form In which It was sent up to him
for reading In the house of lords.
"Oh," said the lord chancellor, cheer

orally get one version of the speech
from the lord president and another
sfrom the prime minister, and they
rarely agree. But don't worry, be-
cause the papers get their copy from
some third source, which differs from
either of the others
Lloyd George, In Paris, gayly cam
celed the draft prepared by his coll
leagues and had substitute pre-
pared under his own eye. This, when
pruned OF some ''fiamboyance," was
quite a remarkable effort, though It
was finally passed only quarter Of
an hour before the council met. At
the other end of the scale might be
placed later speech, the clumsiness
OF which so annoyed Lord Balfour
that he devoted a morning in bed to
the production of something a little
more grammatical.
Speeches from the throne were
casual and intermittent pleasures I'M
til James / introduced the practice Of
making a personal explanation Of his
reasons for summoning parliament.
At the opening Of the first parliament
held after his accession In 1904, the
new monarch, always fond of hearing
his own voice, treated lords and COM
mons to a long and well-informed
speech, which was well received and
gained him a somewhat fulsome COM
plimeRt from his lord chancellor. Be-
ing expected to follow on his majesty's
grafton, Lord Ellesmere, apparently
overcome with emotion, said: "A
Lacedemonian, being once invited to
hear one that could initiate the night

that less than dozen live prairie dogs
could be found in Niobrara county,
Wyo-, over an area that had been all
most solid prairie dog towns for a
stretch Of 20 miles in one direction and
As miles In the other. Extensive and
unremitting warfare has been waged
in this section against this small but
exceedingly destructive pest, with the
result that today native hay has been
cut from land formerly riddled with
prairie dog mounds, and fine fields Of
alfalfa have been grown on land which

Ancient Medical mCureso

Purgings and bleedings, a century
or so ago, were considered the safest
and sanest cures. Records of the
times show that babies three days old
were bled, and men and women in
their eighties were bled repeatedly
For toothache the patient was bled
on the side of the body on which
the pain had occurred, In the case of
an attack Of paralysis the well side
Of the body would be bled first and
the paralyzed side next. AS to the
