That journey across Russia and
Prussia in a frozen world was fraught
with peril. Her servant, Baptiste.
turned out to be a villain, whose de-
signs she feared but had to ignore
She was almost certain she would be
robbed, and she was frightened for
little Charles Francis.
In Germany groups of disbanding
soldiers inSulted her. When dark fell
she put on her sons toy soldier hat and
showed his sword against the carriage
window to frighten StragglerS away
Somehow she managed to keep going.
At Frankfort bad news was met. Ma
poleon had again seized France IN MS
grip and fresh war impended. How
ever, she kept on, though the roads
were filled with soldiers and ruft1ans.
At Paris she expected that her hus-
band would greet her. But he did not.
When she finally arrived he was little
peeved that she had not come earlier.
He was of the methodical type, pre-
else and lacking in geniality. He had
grown q little more critical as the years
passed. They had marked differences
of opinion now and then. She would
have been glad to get out OF public lie
and to have enjoyed the quiet pursuits
which they both liked.
However, he was so habituated TO
serving the Government he could not
stop. From Paris he went to London
as Ambassador. Then, in 1917, on
Monroes election to the presidency, they
proceeded to Washington. John Quincy
Adams had been appointed Secretary
of State. From 1925 to 1929 he was
President, but he was not reelected.
Mrs. Adams expected now that they
would have peace and quiet. She was
mistaken. Mr.. Adams provided a new
political spectacle by getting himself
elected to the House of Representatives
from Massachusetts,. Henceforth he
was to champion anti-slavery.
One day In 1S48 she was summoned
hurriedly to the Capitol. Mr.. Adams
had been stricken at his desk in the
House of Representatives. She found
him speeches.. Taken to the Speakers
room, he died without recognizing her.
Can anything compensate for the
agony of this last sad parting after so
wears of union?" she later wrote a
friend. No, not anything. But in 1852
she also passed to the Great Beyond.
Perhaps her husband was waiting for
her, understanding at last her deep
desire for calm and rest.

Cheese souffle. Braised celery.
Hot biscuits.
Dressed lettuce.
Ice cream sandwiches. Coffee.
This can be prepared by a little plan

mushroom soup will keep warm in a
double boiler for an hour or so with
out harm. The souff1e and celery and
the biscuits are all cooked in the same
oven, the celery and the biscuits being
prepared very early in the day and
kept in a cool place until ready to cook.
The lettuce is dressed with a simple
French dressing; the ice cream, for
convenience, is of the readymade va
riety and made into sandwiches by
placing 1t between layers of sponge or
commercial variety. A fruit sauce
served with this adds to the favor and
attractiveneSs of the meal without
adding greatly to the trouble of prep

Louisa Catherine johnson is unique
among the wives of Presidents because
she was not born in the United States.
In marrying John Quincy Adams he
probably assumed larger contract than
she counted on. But, then, she had no
way of realizing the strenuous life
through which he was to lead her.
The tragedy of their union was that
he had to be called so persistently into
public life. Mrs. Adams was more
fitted by instinct for salon than for
She composed both prose and verse
beautifully, translated French excel
lently, sang pleasingly and was capa-
BILE performer on the pianoforte.
She was born in London February IL,
1775. Her father was Joshua johnson,
a Marylander, who had been in Europe
in business. He was appointed Ameri-
can consul following the Revolution,
and was stationed in London in 1875,
when John Quincy Adams came there
on an official visit from Holland, where
he was United States Minister.
John Quincy Adams went to call on
Joshua Johnson, whose home was the
gathering place of all Americans in
London, and there he met Louisa, 20
years of age. They fell in love and
speedily became engaged. Two years
later, on July 26, 1877, they were
married.
Life never again was to be peaceful
FOR Louisa johnson. John Quincy
Adams for many years was to be occu-
pied with diplomacy. He was the son
of the President of the United States,
and under John Adams and his sue
cessorS he was to serve as his Country'S
envoy at the courts of Prussia, Russia,
France and England. Mrs. Adams and
her child were dragged hither and yon

tuberculosis is on the decrease, due
to the knowledge being disseminated by
various health agencies and the tuber-

cream should be pasteurized except the
certified milk, for in case there should
be tuberculosis germs, either bovine or
human, or other infectious germs, they
will be killed by the pasteurization. This
does not mean the tuberculin test should
be discarded, for we should build up our
cattle to be free from disease and this
is one of the methods of doing it.
For those who are interested, we have

Bovine tuberculosis.

compulsory on all.
Most counties can get the required
number of petitioners, but there Is In

Their idea seems to be that the test IS
a fraud, gotten up to make work Tor
the vets. They claim there Is no danger
to people from bovine tuberculosis. OF
course, if they really believe this, 1t Is
easy to see why they object to having
their cattle condemned. An article on
the subject from reliable and impair

ated. Ga
While it is true the adult is rarely az

according to authentic Investigations
over % per cent of the tuberculosis In
children is of the bovine type. 1t most
often infects the lymph glands-espe-
cially the neck and the abdominal-and
the bones and joints.
It IS now believed that most cases OF
adult tuberculosis are contracted in
y
ouiescent until some great lowering OF
the body resistance occurs and then
they find the condition favorable for
their multiplication, and active tuber-
culosis results. Pottenger believes that
this bovine form of tuberculosis con-
tracted in childhood, through its
growth in the human soil, changes It's
form to the human form. He has had
very great experience in treating and
studying tuberculosis, and II his conclu-
sions are correct, then bovine tuberculo-
sis is evidently dangerous to the adult.
But even granting it is not, shall we not
save the children?
