Rhubarb comes so early fin the season, when fresh fruits are scarce in most sections of the country, that the up-to-date house. wife is on the lookout for ways to ase it in her spring menus.
 Aside from it's pleasantly tart flavor which stimulates the ap- petite, rhubarb is good source of important food elements. Phos- phorous, that constituent neces- sary for strong teeth and sound bones, and vitamin c are present in this fruit-vegetable.
 We hear some people object to rhubarb on account of it's acidity. While the leaves do contain some oxalic acid and should not be used for food, the stems contain only a very small amount and after cooking the acid content Is nil. In spite of it's tart flavor, its residue upon digestion Is alkaline.
 Don't Over-cook
 Care should be taken not to over-cook rhubarb. Vitamin c is destroyed If subjected to too great heat for too long n time. As It, tie water as possible should be used to prevent burning, because the fruit-vegetable is very juicy of itself. Cover the sauce pan and as soon as the rhubarb boils it should be "done." Always add sugar when removing from the fire.
 Adding other materials to pie plant makes 1t possible to obtain dishes of increased food value. Rhubarb combines excellently with almost any other fruit beside the foodstuffs commonly used with fruits. The extra materials can be chosen to make up for the lack in the rhubarb. For eX- ample, adding raisins to stewed or baked rhubarb adds iron to the dish and increases it's efii- ciency.
 Rhubarb ShOrtcakc
 Pie usually comes immediately to mind when rhubarb Is men, toned, but there arc numberless other desserts which are delicious when made with rhubarb. Frozen desserts. hot or cold buildings and gelatinc desserts use this com mon garden plant to excellent ad- vantage. Well swectcned rhubarb sauce Is amazingly good with plain rice and cornstarch pud- dings.
 Rhubarb shortcake is a simple dessert. Make an old fashioned shortcake with baking powder biscuit dough. After baking, split and butter and i'll with sweetcned rhubarb sauce. Serve with plain or whipped cream.
 Rhubarb tapioca pudding Is made two ways. The fruit can be made two ways. The fruit can be cooked with tapioca and sugar in water, or the tapioca can be cook cd and poured over the rhubarb arranged in buttered baking dish and the whole baked thirty minutes In u moderate oven. Serve with sugar and cream or q cus- tard sauce.
 The first rhubarb usually has a very tender skin and if well wash ed need not be peeled. When delightful pinky color. As the sea cooked with the skin on 1t has a son advances the skin grows tough and should be removed be. fore cooking.

3.-My own conclusion is that the actual commission of a crimin- al act Is more due to environment than heredity. However. among group, or class, or neighborhood of people, the ones who take to crime under that environment are the persons who have hereditary susceptibilities to criminalistic sug- gestions. Among them are dis like for work, excessive egotism, passion to swagger. wear jewelry, good clothes, etc. Under good en- vironment think these tendencies would rarely end in actual crime.

Nearly all fears of both men and women are chiefly due to training. although a new research reported by Arthur T.

However, when women wore long skirts, the fear of mice was greatly accentuated by the excellent hiding place this provided for the equally fright ened animal.

Ignorant and ill-adviscd persons often resort to cough medicine con tainins one or another narcotic or "sedative" ingredient, when they have cough from some acute illness or indisposition. l believe this foolish practice is accountable for not few cases of pneumonia or serious bronchitis where, had the misguided victim not taken to benumbing the impulse to cough, the illness would have been only a mild one.
 Here Is a fool-proof homemade cough medicine which any adult, child or infant may take without harm and often with benefit in any illness in which there is cough:
 Steep for an hour or less q table spoonful of whole fiaxseeds in a pint of water. Then strain, and add one ounce of citrate of soda (so- dium citrate), the juice of a lemon, q drop or two of peppermint for flavor, and one ounce of glycerine. If desired the medicine may be further sweetened with sugar. Dose for aduts a tablespoon, for infants q teaSpoonful, every two hours.

Another dispute over whether State

Reserve may participate in the Fed
eral deposit guaranty fund appeared
likely yesterday with introduction of
a bill by Chairman Steagall, Demo-
crat, Of Alabama Of the House Bank
ing Committee, to let them come In.
It was this troublesome question
that held up for days action on the

Roosevelt finally taking q hand In
the disagreement between Steagall
and Senator Glass. Democrat, Of Vir-

Glass insisted the State banks be-
come Federal Reserve members before
participating in the permanent de-
posit insurance, and he Is not ex-
pected to change his stand.
On a compromise, 1t was provided
that State institutions could partici-
pate in the temporary deposit guar

and In the permanent fund. which
starts July !, only until June 80, 1885.

Washington Junior League
Is Praised by Mrs. Runsey
Founder Does Not Ap.
DIV General Criticism,
to Branch Here.
Backs 'Wear-Som,ething.
Ne,U' Ball and Tells
of Good York.

"A II RS. CHARLES CAREY RUM
M SEY, N. r. A. advisory
v3 board chairman and founder
4 ' L Of the Junior League, may
dislike the present-day trend
Of the organization throughout the
country, but her criticism does not
apply to the Washington branch.
She made that plain today In dis
cussing plans for the Wear Some
thing New" ball Of the league, to be
held tomorrow night at the Mayflower
Hotel.
II am helping them all I can for
the Wear Something New ball, and
have asked the president of the
Association of Junior Leagues Of
America and the president Of the New
York Junior League down to be my
guests at the ball, so they may see
what the Washington league is doing
and the way it is doing IT," said Mrs.
Rumsey.
Praise for Local Work.
The founders criticism Of the
league was made Monday during Mrs.
Roosevelt's press conference and was
given wide publicity throughout the
country. OF the Washington league,
Mrs. Rumsey said:
Il think the Washington Junior
League is making a true effort to
and hope that other organizations
will follow its example. Aside
from the novel aim of the ball, the
girls hope to make enough money to
support the social service department
of the Children's Hospital for a year.
Did you know that they alone
finance this department. which is the
largest of its kind in the city? Part
Of the $4,000 necessary comes from
their share of profits from the Thrift
Shop, and part from a circulating
library they run, but the rest must
be raised in some way by the men,
bers themselves.
Extra Work Required.
These are busy days for the
girls, as it Is against the policy Of
the Washington league to release a
girl from a regular voluntary job she
may have in welfare agency in the
city to work on party. If she cares
to work for the ball, she must do it in
addition to her required volunteer
work.
AT the present time there are over
$50 young women in the Washington
league who are regularly assisting II
different welfare agencies in the city
in these trying times when budgets
are cut to the bone, and I was sur
prised and delighted the other day
to hear that go Junior Leaguers had
worked together as a division of the
metropolitan unit Of the Community
Chest, and went over the top.
Offset General Impression.
1.-THE Washington Junior League
has been trying very hard for the
last few years to Offset the general
impression of the public in recent
days that it was an organization of
society women who merely played at
being Lady Bountiful. A young, pref
ty and cheerful face is sometimes a
handicap when one wishes to be
taken seriously. And they do. Know

The Federal Government, through
the Federal Trade Commission, today
stood behind its first formal attempt
to warn American bondholders about
an issue of foreign securities.
Acting under the truth and securi-
ties" act, the commission has allowed
German official agency to offer scrip
in payment of interest to American
holders of foreign long-term bonds,
but at the same time told such holders
that the agency had not answered
some pertinent questions regarding the
scrip.
The possible use of the securities
act to require foreign governments or
promoters to give full financial infor-
nation about their issues, was priv
ately emphasized today by officials as
the sale OF foreign securities In the
United States.
The case In point involves mis-
cellaneous group Of German long-term
bonds, payment on which must be
made through the German conversion
Office. This Office has proposed the
payment Of $l3,000,000 in cash and
$13,000,000 in scrip for interest due
for the last six months Of 1888.
The scrip has no maturity, but may
be redeemed at any time for so per
cent cash, entailing loss OF 25 per
cent to the investor. The cash pay
ment has not been made, but, the
commission said, 1t could be made at
any time.
Des. te a deficiency in essential in
formation" the commission decided to
allow the issuance of the scrip SO the
American bondholder could have the
opportunity of accepting the offer it
he desires, meanwhile knowing that

| mission could have insisted on an
