War Mothers and George Washington

The United States George Washington Bicentennial
commission, in its work of organizing the nationwide
celebration of the Two Hundredth Anniversary of Wash
ington's birth in 1882, is to receive from the American
War Mothers cooperation at once most touching and fit
ting. No citizen needs to be reminded of the significance
Of the stars worn by these brave mothers-thc blue star
for those whose sons returned from service urscathed
except for the soaring experience Of war; the silver star
for mothers whose sons were wounded or disabled IN
battle; and the gold star for those whose sons made the
supreme sacrifice and lie in heroes graves.
Last year congress authorized a pilgrimage of these
Gold Star Mothers to the graves OF their sons on the
battlefields Of Europe. This pilgrimage. conducted by
the war department, was open to those mothers and
widows who had not been previously overseas at their
own expense on this reverent errand. This year, con-
gress, through an amendment, has authorized another
pilgrimage to include women who have previously visited
these graves at their own cost, as we'll as those whose
relatives have been left among the 1885 missing
those men who were lost at sea, or buried without means
of Identification, or whose graves were afterward fought
over in battle and obliterated.
AS part of this plan to unit none from the honors due
to the heroic dead, the nation. through congress. has
authorized the building Of a chapel in each Of the Amer
lean battlefield cemeteries in Europe. On these chapels
will be carved the name Of each of these missing men
whose graves will never be found. The building OF the
chapels Is in the care of General Pershing.
AS last year, this pilgrimage will be conducted IN
separate parties, the first contingent sailing on the Uni
ted States steamship George Washington today. the last
one on the president Roosevelt on August 10. On each
voyage to Europe and back these Gold Star Mothers will
devote one or more days to services and exercises IN COM
memoration of George Washington, commander in chief
Of the armies that made America free.
It is only fitting that the nation should honor its war
mothers. This gracious act of the government should
give them pleasure and it should also bring home to every
citizen the desirability of a lasting peace.

More Toothbrush
Less Dope

Dentist and scientist tell us
that the public is prone to place
too much reliance on tooth paste
and mouthwashes, and so to neg
lect to brush the teeth sufficient
ly. Mouth washes and tooth paste
make the mouth taste clean and
fool one into believing the task is
done, when the teeth are still UNI
cleansed or it is only done super
ficially.
It is common opinion that
pastes and mouthwashes are
germicidal and will preserve the
teeth from the attack Of decay
and bacteria. This is a false hope
as nothing, but thorough cleaning
can do that.
A tooth is not clean until it has
been thoroughly brushed from the
roots down to the biting edge,
front and back and as much as
possible about the roots and sides.
Use the tooth brush with a ro-
tating motion and use it long
time. You cannot hurry the job
of toothbrushing, and do it well.
Gums need the massage which a
stiff brush gives them. Tooth
pastes and mouth washes are
pleasant accessories, but no sub
stitute for scrubbing.

Pie Crust

Pastry is not hygienic food
for any but vigorous outdoor
workers, but everybody likes a
piece of pie, with a juicy filling
and q flaky crust. If you serve pie
for a meal, do not serve other rich
foods, but let salads furnish bulk,
cooling, fruit and vegetable salts
and acids.
The most flaky piecrust is made
by cutting the fat into the flour,
using a case knife in each hand,
until the mixture looks like coarse
meal and the particles are the size
of peas. In this case you have
particles of fat coated with flour
instead of particles of flour coat
ed with fat. The old idea was to
rub the flour and fat into very
fine particles.

The IncineratOr

~
Rubbish may be burned rapidly,
with no danger Of setting fire to
anything, if it is placed in the in
Generator to burn. A homemade
incinerator may be made from a
yard and a half Of yard-wide,
square mesh fence wire. Lap il
over and twist the cut ends Of the
wire, to form a barrel shaped con-
tainer. A square Of the mesh may
be used for a cover, with q wire
hinge to fasten it on. Fasten it to
the ground with a couple Of bent
wires. Into this each week the con-
tents Of waste baskets may be
emptied and burned. It should not
be set too close to q tree or shrub
berry or these will be scorched.

Yrnselfishness has always been
,.nded as the greatest of virtues,
hnt there is a limit to it's desira-
S Lii to try to make the most OF
himself, to get education, to train
s;mself to be capable, to make
himself attractive.
Have you not seen those UNI
,olf;sh persons, who sat back and
1at brother or sister gobble up all
~. -. education, and then they go
s s life, ignorant, incapable,
and unattractive, and nobody
. cor them about? 1t would have
seen better to have made them
selves more fit to live in society
s s less of burden and annoy
ance in later life.
Haven't you noticed, too, that a
very unselfish person assumes a
roartyr role, and constantly whines
ahort how much he hassdone for
otbers and how little it is apprec-
;otted 1t is all true enough, but it
would have made for more COM
fort all around if he had a little
sn1nk and stood up for his rights
ond appropriated his share of the
blessings of life, and required the
rest of the family to hustle a bit
for themselves or make some OF
the sacrifices.
That would have given them a
chance to develop their own
strength and character. Nobody
thanks you for pouring blessings
mon him unasked, until he be-
comes unable to strive and win
anything for himself.
The wife who will be respected
il the one who keeps herself up,
who let's her husband do some
thing for her once in while, who
uses gratefully and to advantage
the opportunities which come her
way and makes the most Of her
self. The mother whose children
will be devoted to her is not the
one who has let her children sap
all her substance and vitality, but
the mother who has given her
children generous chance to get
out and hustle for themselves.

IHE NATIONAL EXECUTIVE MEETING
W0nsen's Society for Pro- hibifiOn Reform to Hold
 Session in Detroit
TUESDAY DECEMBER

The national executive committee of the Women's Organization for National Prohibition Reform will meet in Detroit, Michigan, on Tues- day, December 1st, at the Book Cadillac hotel, to hear reports of its officers and state division chair men and to work out further plans and policies for the guidance of the organization in it's campaign for the repeal of the 18th amend ment.
 There will be. u session open to the public when many prominent speakers including the national chairman, Mrs. Charles H. Sabin, and Mrs. Lovett, chairman of the Massachusetts division, will discuss the work of the organization and the importance of the prohibition issue in the 1892 campaign.
 "One of the most important tasks before our organization at. this time is the poll of the 72nd congress which is now under way" Mrs. Sabin said in announcing the meeting. We have asked every member of the 72nd congress to permit the people to vote state by Ot6tC VII IltG QuCSblOAt VI ICNlStVA OI repeal of the 18th amendment un- der the provisions of tricle V of the Constitution.
 "In the face of the overwhelm- ing expression of opposition to na- tional prohibition surely no mem- Der of congress, be he ever so stannch a prohibitionist, can fail to admit that the time is ripe for a decision and that 1t is his duty to submit this question to the peo- pie. It is only the five hundred and thirty-one gentlemen of the congress who can now put the ma- chinery in motion by a vote of two thirds of each house and permit the people to deliver their decision upon this momentous question. The people of the Wited States have never had an opp kFtunity to rec ord their will on this question and public opinion demonstrates that they now wish to be given such an opportunity. It has never been our intention. "to mean well feebly." We shall go on more and more strongly in this work, confident in its righteousness, until we have en- listed an army of women, so great that its backing will give courage to the most week-kneeded con- gressman." Y
 The report of the Connecticut branch submitted by the state chairman, Mrs. Lucius F. Robinson. Jr., is Q splendid proof of the progress of the work in this state.
