Who Founded Our Colleges

Early colleges were supported
chiefly by religious philanthropists
and were intended to educate min
listers. Each leading church estab-
lished it's denominational college
These colleges have been supported
not by men of wealth, though these
have been generous, but chiefly by
thousands of small donors, who gave,
not to special phases of education,
but 'to the college,.
This is favorable because it has in
terested larger numbers of people and
because it leaves the college free to
develop without strings" tied to it's
gifts.
Some long years after we began to
educate ministers, it entered the
minds OF men that education would
be useful also for ''laymen''. One
phllanthropist after another started a
school for some one of the profess
slons, even school for women. Med
lcal and law schools came first and
today we have manual training
schools
These early colleges were private
institutions. 1t is only in the past
sixty years that the idea has grown
thai the education of it's clulzens was
or the greatest concern to the state
for it. State universities are now
Gaping state school systems; but the
church college seems to lose none of
its prestige.

Food Cleanliness

For the sake of the appetite and
the health, those who work with
foods should practice strict cleanli-
ness. The following rules should be
observed:
Wear clean clothing, especially a
clean apron.
Fasten the hair back securely that
there will not be need to touch it OF
that it will not fall into the food
Wash the hands with soap and
water and use a nail brush.
Keep clean towel near and wash
the hands every time it is necessary
to touch an unclean object.
When tasting food, use an extra
spoon and do not dip it back into
the food.
Be sure all utensils used are clear

If dessert is thought of as an ac-
cessory, tie eaters vii fill up on the
main courses, and then eat the des
sert on top of this simply because it
tastes good, taxing their digestive
powers and adding unnecessary
weight
All desserts should be more dainty
and less foody. Ine habit of eating
rich uessert,, as the climax to a
square meal, is a bad one, and short
ems the life of many a good cltlzen.
Simple and nourishing, easily pre-
pareu and easily digested desserts
are tapioca and rice pudding, custard,
bread pudding, ice cream, cookies or
plain cake with canned fruit, and
occasionally piece of home made
candy. When pie is serveu-and
everybody likes a piece of pie once
in awhile-the first course should be
very simple, since pie is rich and
hearty and hard to digest.

Bread for Paper Hangers
Wives

Paper hangers and painters have
all their years work crowded into
SIX or eight months, with little to do
between seasons. Housewives can
save themselves money and help dis
tribute the work of decorating over
the entire year, if they will plan to
have their walls refinished between
fall and spring. We pay higher
prices tnan necessary for this work
because we compel the laborers to
ne lale SO large proportion of the
year.
With rugs and vacuum cleaners and
the elimination of the old time house
keeping upheavel, there is no reason
why the housewife cannot have her
rooms redecorated one at a time
even at the cost of a little inconven-
lehceIand so obtain a cheaper rate
and better job for herself, besides
helping feed the family of the paper
hanger.

Most Beautiful

There is quaint story that an
angel went forth from heaven one
day to find the most beautiful thing
upon earth. He came to a rose,
blooming in all it's splendor, and he
thought, 'Ah, nothing can be more
beautiful than this. / have found
the most beautiful thing on earth"
But behind the rose he saw baby
smile, and then he decided, The
baby's smile is more beautiful than
the rose. l have now found the most
beautiful thing on earth"
Presently behind the babys smile,
he discovered mothers love. And
as he looked and studied, the rose
faded: the baby's smile changed into
frown; but the mothers love re-
mained unchanged
''It is the one thing which abides
when all other beauty fails" said he,
'It is the most beautiful thing in
the world"

The Physical Examination

Do you have the zip and pep, or do
you just drag around? If you are
only half well, you only half live. 1t
is the wise adult who has a physical
examination on his birthday. Detected
in time, ailments may usually be side
tracked; but neglected, they cut off
many a useful life in its prime. 1t
is hiding your head in the sand to
fear to- find out something which will
spoil your peace of mind. Better dis
cover it in time, for if your system
needs overhauling you can prolong
your life by facing the situation and
acting accordingly. If the physical
examination reveals that you are fine
and fit, then you can lift your head
and steam up with a glorious assur-
ance. After forty, don't neglect the
annual "once- over.

What Your Home Says

Your home expresses you, whether
you want it to or not. What is it
telling people about your tastes and
ideals-ors perhaps your pocketbook?
Is it just like hundred other homes
with no individuality? Then it is
shouting your commonness of ideals.
Is it bizarre, with loud colors? ?
g Is it shoddy? Too fu4. and confusing
and crowded? Bare and hard and
barnlike? Cute and cozy and warm?
Dignified and simple and strong?
Mysterious and vamp1sn? Or what
is it like? Appraise your home with
this in mind and analyze yourself by
your environment, which you have
shaped for yourself, out of your in
nate tastes?
If it does not express dignity and
repose and sincerity and spiritual
beauty, then it is up to you to take
your household penates by the horns
and twist them toward this ideal.
A small purse is no excuse for a
Shoddy home. Better store box fur
nishings, gingham and cheeseclpth
drapes, the very minimum of things,
the bare necessities of a make-shift
type, until you can afford something
better, (and one or two choice pieces
which will last for all time. Furni-
ture has a trick of doing that-hang-
ing on for the years-and it pays
to buy only pieces of good lines and
good color. Most rooms have too
much in them, anyway; and fewer
furnishings of good quality are much
to be preferred than loads of inartis-
tic stuff
If you have inherited a fancy side
board or dresser, take off the "gin-
gerbread" and leave it less ornate.
You will be surprised to see how this
gives it class. If it is a poor color,
give it a rich stain. Hide an in
artistic chair behind a tasty cover.
Study art, and shape your home to
its designs. There is no love-labor
more delightful than this. If it en-
cages the family in months of de-
voted study and sacrifice, so much
the better. IN what could IaLheE,
mother, brother and sister lavish
their efforts to better advantage than
in creating real home, with atmos-
phere and everything? Don't let
your home malign you to those who
enter it.

.ALkaH LDdter P0isOns Duck
HockS, Declares arizona
Game Wdrden y. E. pettis

ducks has le1 small bodies Of water
heavily charged with alkali and is re-
sponsible for the oeath Of uncounted
numbers of ducks and olher forms OF
bird life.
"Many districts which formerly
teemed with ducks are now deserts
and it is probable Lat the birds nave
changed to some extent, the course
of their northern and southern mlgra-
tions to sections of the country where
conditions are more favorable, this
theory possibly accounting for the
scarcity of ducks in Arizona.
Arizona observers have reported a
heavy flight of ducks southwark un-
usually early in 1926, SO early in fact
that they believe that the ducks had
passed through the state before the
season on ducks opened.
"a few ducks have been found on
artificial reservoirs in southern Ar1-
zona though their numbers are far
less than in previous years Even the
Salt and Gila rivers, west Of Phoenix,
a favorable spot for hunters who do
not belong to clubs owning their own
reservations have yielded but few
birds this season.
"1nough many of the lakes in Ari-
zona have been low due to drouth,
there has been no drainage of lakes
in the state and conditions are as fa-
vorable to water birds today as they
were in the past"

TIOSp0CCS OIL d IoS1Slat1Vo deadlock
loomed larger than ever at the opening
of this, the last week of the present
| legislative session. The division be-
tween the anti-adminiStratiOn and Re-
| publican forces on the one hand, and
the pro-administration minority on the
other, has resolved itself into a solidi-
ficatiOn of forces, each side determined
to give no quarter. The result is
that there is grave danger of the reg
ular session going down into history
without providing for the highway de-
partment or making adequate appro-
priations to carry on other depart
ments of state.
Governor Hunt controls enough
votes in the senate to prevent the
passage of any measure over his veto
it is believed This was proven in the
test to override the governors veto
on one of the Winsor so called purity
| in-election measures The vote on
this biz proved the assertion that has
often been repeated of late that mem
bers are tiring Of the disposition on
the part Of few of the older members
to control legislation.
4
floor, the house is finding itself in the
control of a strong majority dictator
ship. This group is responsible for an
appropriation bill, cutting many de-
partments to the bone, being especial
/ 1y severe in looping off various items
asked for the governors office.
New Appropriation Bill
So at variance was this bill to the
desires of the administration that al
entirely new administration bill was
brought into the senate Efforts on
ministration to amend the original ap-
preparation bill proved fruitless.
The week started out with another
big jam on the highway Oil. The
original highway bill has been thrown
into the discard, and for more thar
a week members of the committee
have been working on new draft.
The result is something better thar
the original bill, perhaps, but one
which falls far short of pleasing the
administration group. This opposition
is we'll expressed in a minority report
of the highway committee of the SEN
ate signed by Golfer The bill would
rob the executive branch of the gov.
ernment Of it's right to name the
state engineer he says, arguing tha
the commission form of government
does not prove efficient, for the reason
that no direct head is responsible. /
is further charged that the provisions
of the bill purporting to pay off the
creditors of the highway department
are too indefinite, and that this stu
alton can best be met by the passage
of a separate bill 1t is further claim
ed that the bill does not provide suf-
ficient funds for necessary road build
ing improvements and to meet feder
al aid
Bridge Bill Signed
The governor signed the Lees Fer
ry bridge bill carrying a supplement-
al appropriation for this purpose, al
suggested by the governor. The two
bills carry total appropriation o
S1S5 900 with which to match S1OO,O0'
Indian tribal funds.

priation of 100000 to match fedora

Desserts

supper desserts should not be as
flch and hearty as noon-day desserts,
When dessert is to be served, it
should be counted as part of the
meal, when making the menu. and
It's, food value should be planned in
relation to the rest of the meal. If
the main course is hearty, the dessert
should be light, With rich dessert,
the rest of the meal should be light.

JelIieS

Many housewives canned their jelly
juice and make it up N small patches
as needed. This method gives one
fresh jelly in mid-winter and pre-
serves the delicate flavor. To save
sugar and ensure it's jelling, one may
use prepared pectin found in the
markets under various commercial
names.

"SWAMl" TITLE HARD
TO ACQUIRE IN INDIA
Yogananda Has Had General Edu-
cation-Member- of Council
of Savants

The word swami" means master.
and ii is title not lightly &C
CURED in India. One who bears 1t
must have gone through a very inten-
sive training in self-dscipline in addi-
ton to having had a general and
cultural education.
Swami Yogananda, who has been
lecturing in this city for some time,
is graduate of the University of Cal
cutta. He is a member Of the Council
of Savants in India, of which body
he was formerly vice president, and
he is considered one of the foremost
educators in India.
1t is the swami's life work, he says,
to teach the art of living" by means
of the balanced life--harmonious devel-
opment of the physical, mental and
moral nature-and to instruct others
in the method he has discovered of
consciously and by properly exerted
will power recharging the body with
energy.
II have come" says the swami,
mot as an advocate of any cult, but
as one who wishes to help all men
to achieve the balanced life, to learn
the value of concentration and medi-
tation and to have the realization of
God in man."
At his opening lecture he declared
that India, because of its age-long
study and development of spiritual
technique" had a message of value
for the Occidental mind, which had
focused it's attention strongly on ma
terial things.
