This is because the alcohol in which iodine is dissolved evaporates rapidly and the tincture thus becomes con- centrated and the strength is increased. It is best to buy iodine in small quantities and to use it sparingly. 3 An excellent polish for mahog- any is a tablespoon of olive ofl mixed with a teaspoon of vine- gar. Apply the fluid with a soft flannel after the wood has been dusted. Then polish thoroughly with a soft, clean duster. Strongly flavored vegetables such as onions, cabbage and tur- “nips should be cooked in an un- covered vessel in a large quan- tity of water. The bread box should be fre- quently washed out, dried and thoroughly aired by keeping the lid open a little. Thus the bread will never get a musty taste. To keep it from becoming too dry, place a small washed po- tato in the pan. Moisture is given off by the potato, but not enough to cause mildew. When making marmalade, grease the preserving pans well h butter and the marmalade will never burn; also skim well. This makes the preserve beau- tifully clear. 150 YEARS AGO TODAY BY JONATHAN More Tories Sent to Conn.

The keenly understanding mother s quick to recognize that most of the naughtiness of children is due in most cases to just being tised. Instead of scolding ‘and nagging and making them worse, she talks to them in a quiet voice, suggests that they take a nice, cool bath, and insists on a rest period. Unless the child is absolutely abnormal, this scheme, it carried out in the right spirit, will make over the child completely, and he will get up from his hour of rest and be as good as_gold. Now an eminent doctor puts an official aspect on these observations made by every mother. He lists fatigue as one of the chief causes of poor school work, of the failure to grow properly, and of abnormal emotional reactions. This doctor suggests that while the actual amount of fatigue is hard to measure, the fact that a child is over- tired is not difficult to determine. Four things make this apparent. The child complains of being tited. He falls to make the progressive gains in weight, or fails to measure up to standards of physical development, and he does not keep up to the average pupil in his school work. In addition he is the victim of emotional disturbances that show his unbalance. In simple terms, if vour child com- plains of being too tired ‘to play, if he wants to sit about languidly, if he is not up to his grade in school and cranky and quarrelsome and hard to live with, his trouble is fatigue. What he needs is more rest, day and night. He needs to go to bed earlier and sleep later. He needs to have a nap period every day. This is difficult, I know, but when one is dealing with conditions which can be cured by more sleep, there is not a mother that will consider any efforts to gain that sleep too hard for her. After four years of age most chil- dren outgrow their naps. For no rea- son that any one can see, a child, who has formerly been sleeping every afternoon, will refuse to sleep and will cry and fuss if kept in bed. It is a fine idea, when this first starts, for the mother to devote some time to keeping the child happy for this rest period. Do not insist that he sleep. Put the child, undressed, in a dark- ened room, and sit with him, reading, or telling a story in a quiet, droning volce. Most chiidren will fall asleep. Right after lunch is the natural time for children to be sleepy. So make this the nap time. After the child has school periods both morning and afternoon the diffi- culty of getting in a rest period is in- creased. If the child Is put to bed at 7 at night he may not feel the loss of the nap, but if he is a highly nerv- ous, thin, wire type, who can't get fat no matter what food he eats, insist on a rest period at least before the dinner hour. A half or three-quarter hour of complete rest will do much for the child in helping him to assim- ilate the food he eats, as well as in glving him an appetite for that food.

As a people we seem to be just young enough to enjoy problems. Older nations, like those in the Orient, have grown philosophical and leave the reforming to western uplifters. But we still love to wrestle with life and try to change the face of the world as it is. If we must have a problem, then, why not tackle the problems of amusement? Americans, they say, are amusement mad. The impulse back of the craving for amusement is natural enough and not wrong in itself. For it is only a nat- ural reaching out after joy and hap- piness, for something outside our- selves, something we haven't got which we hope to find in gayety and dazzle and excitement. But the phrase “amusement mad’ carries a _reproach, because so many forms of pleasure seeking seem i tawdry and cheap. | Throngs of people crowd into | amusement parks and cafes, listening | to notsy music, spending money on | games .of chance, buying thrills for |a dime in some hairraising, nerve- wracking, glant toboggan siides or whirligig, all in search of happiness. | But If any of them find it they do not show it in their faces. Instead of Joy they carry with them only a look of weariness: they are distraught, empty, lacking in contentment. At the bottom of the trouble is the fact that so few of us really know what we want. So we wander about and “take a chance,” a chance of winning a doll baby or a painted hair recetver or, if you will, a chance at happiness. But, judging from the face of the amusement seekers, they seldom draw the lucky number marked happiness. Here, then, is a problem. People have a right to be happy, to have fun, to be gay. But the search for these thin ought to bring better re- wards than the amusement seekers seem to find. How are they to find it” Is there anything better than the kind of amusements modern civilization 1s offering_them? That is a hard prob- lem. But it's one that is worth thinking about. If there is a better way, why not try to find it> There's a problem for a problem-loving race. If people honestly want to ride roll- er coasters and squander nickels, by all means let them do it. But if they only do these things for lack of some- thing more truly satisfying, why not search for something that would mark thelr faces with real happiness and not merely excitement hufger and weariness? Perhaps we will find & way in the next hundred years. -— So successful has been gold mining in South Africa recently that many old mines have being reopened, the Cinderella, which has been shut down for 13 years, just being revived. ‘What Do You Know About It?

If there is one piece of furniture which typifies luxury more than any other it is the chaise longue. Every womar should have one, no matter how busy and hard-working she is (perhaps we should say especially if she is busy and hard-working), even though she can recline in it for only a few moments a day. The pampered, lazy feeling it gives one is so wonder- fully refreshing! Of course, an- original, one-piece chaise longue makes exacting space demands, but a two-plece model, like the one sketched, covers much less area. In fast, when necessity arises it can be separated into its two units, each very useful in its single role— an easy chair and a stool. EAT AND BE HEALTHY Dinah Day’s Dail. The Right F\’ood Is Variety in Diet. Some one remarked sarcastically that every advertisement was a piece of health propaganda. The venders of milk, toothpastes, antiseptics, break- fast foods, sirups, meats, breads filled thelr selling talks about how very beneficial to every one’s health their particular line of goods was. The mere fact the advertisers use this argument shows where the public interest lies. Undoubtedly ~proper eating and living are great factors for_happiness. The great food associations are out to sell their goods. 1If they have something good to sell there is every reason why the food should be used. They often contribute a new way of serving an old standby. Variety in diet is a good thing. In all probability those who eat a variety of food are supplying the needs of their bodies. They are not getting too much protein and too little vegetable fiber. They are not getting too much starch in potatoes, macaroni and bread and too little fruit. i The banding together of food rais- ers and scientific transportation have laid before the American housewife the year roun a countless array of good things to eat. Fresh fruits and vegetables continually fill the market. People will buy cathartic pills, but Vegetable Dinners. Hot weather {8 no time for meat. Grown-ups and children alike will rel- ish the vegetable dinner. But my plea is for the children. If you want to see a beaming, contented smile il lumine the faces of perspiring chil- dren set them down to a vegetable dinner. The color of it alone is enough to make them hungry. Picture to your- self a table set in a shaded dining room, bare shining floor, blue and white spread table, shining forks and spoons—we won't need any knives— a low bowl of forget-me-nots and baby’'s breath in the middle and dishes of vegetables set about. First some baked potatoes, the kind you scoop out and mix with butter and pile up in the shell again to brown them. Each get a dab of something red on its top—the paprika we get doesn’t taste at all and is lovely to look at, so we can have that. Then we'll have green peas. T nosed about in the school kitchen so I could learn how to cook peas that tasted like peas instead of boiled hay. The teacher shelled them as soon as they came in from the garden, put only about a large spoonful of water in them, & large bit of butter and started them cooking on & low burner. When they were well started she put them on the boiling water in the other part of the pot, & double boiler she called it. Then a pinch of soda went in to keep them green. She kept the lid off 8o the color would not be bleached, she said. Carrots go with peas. They must be little young ones, so tender that you can scratch thelr skins with one of those stone cleaners. Can't afford to lose any part of them by scraping and peeling. They get just the same treat- ment as the peas, but no soda. Just keep the lid off once they are well started to cook. They come out gold- en like the California poppies in the garden. T'd have baby beets with the tops. You cook the tops like spinach, with Jjust the water that lies on them after you have soused them in three baths, 20 minutes in the double boiler, and there they are. You must not cut the tail of the beet too close nor shave the crown too near, but handle it gently and boil it tenderly, give it a cold plunge when it's soft and skin it, and it will rest on its green cushion like a king of the purple. Then crisped lettuce. please. It isn’t any use offering it to the chil- dren if it is wilted. Wash it early in the morning and put it in a bag on the fce.

When our Colonial forefathers came to America they brought over wit hthem not only their own kitch- en garden vegetables, but their own garden flowers, convinced that nothing they would find here could be half 50 beautiful. Some explorers, to be sure, did send back . azalea, rhododendron, tulip tree, white pine, black locust and other native plants, but Americans are still likely to de- spise anything American in the way of flowers as being “wild.” The only Justification s that plants that have been in cultivation for hundreds of vears, like the European flowers, are indeed generally showier. One outstanding exception is the tribe of phlox, a genus wholly Ameri- can, which is abundant now in woods and flelds around Washington. Every garden phlox, no matter how showy, is derived from some wild American plant, and derived in very recent times. The big perennial phloxes are chiefly developments of phlox maculata and phlox paniculata, but where these two flowers in the woods are simply rose-purple or white, our garden phloxes are white to pink, rose, magenta, brick-red, crimson, dark purple and pale lilac, with every possible combination of different- colored “eyes.” The_little shrubby garden phlox that blooms so bravely in early Spring, and is generally planted in cemeteries, though it deserves more cheerful surroundings, is a South- western species, and the annual phloxes have a similar origin.

AUGUST 11, 1926 FEATU Women Who Have Important Tasks in Government Service BY ALICE ROGERS HAGER Miss Margaret M. Hanna. There is always a certain amount of glamour attached to the State Depart- ment, even in so humble a matter as the granting of a passport. The sense of the adventurous days of diplomacy still colors the name, even if not the fact. The picture of a Richelieu cry- ing to a beaten boy, “In the bright lexicon of youth there is no such word as fail”’ might well have been em- blazoned on the coat-of-arms of the corps diplomatigue. And there are adventures yet, though we hear less about them, and upon the surface all is polite humdrum. Miss Margaret M. Hanna, who wears the prosaic title of Chief of the Ofice or Co-ordination and Review, is one of those who know the glamour as well as the humdrum. Her position involves the more or less intangible supervision of all the outgoing mail of the department, in order that forms may be kept correct. according to es- tablished procedure, and that the work of the different bureaus may not over- lap, with resulting confusion. While it does not sound like a par- ticularly exciting task, it has wide possibilities for disaster in the hands of a less well trained person than Miss Hanna. Only complete knowledge of the habits and policies of the depart- ment over a_period of vears and a background of the racial customs and ideas of the nations with which corre- spondence Is held could anticipate the consequences of some slight slip in an apparently inoffensive letter and cor- rect it in time. Miss Hanna's background has been such as to give her this very neces- ¢ training. Born in Ann Arbor, Mich., she was educated in the schools of Washington, with a private tutor through several vears. It was in 1895 that she was appointed confidential clerk to the Chlef of the Burehu of Indexes and Archives, beginning her work in this way at the very heart of the department. Promotion followed raptdly. To quote her official record: She was con- fidential clerk to the Second Assistant Secretary of State, 1 clerk from class 1 to 3. 1897 to 1907; clerical as- sistant to the Pious Fund Arbitration at The Hague, 1902; clerical assistant to the Venezuclan Claims Commission at Caracas, 1903; clerical assistant to the delegates of the United States at the Second Peace Conference at The Hague, 1907; clerical assistant to the delegation of the United States to the Fourth International Conference of American States, Buenos Aires, 1910; chief of bureau in 1918 (the same as at present, except that the title of the |office has been changed); special as- sistant to the delegation of the United States and special disbursing officer at EVERYDAY the Fifth Pan-American Conference at Santiago, Chile, in 1923. So she has had the opportunity to see and study at first hand both South American and European peoples, learn- ing languages and customs and diplo- matic procedure at the same time. At the arbitration NARRIS & EWING— MISS MARGARET HANNA. which was the settlement of the dis- cussion of the treasure of the Cali fornia missions, she was the only woman who went to the tribunal in an official capacity. At the second con ference she was assistant to Joseph H.

In 1910 she had the experience of going to Buenos Alres direct by warship, this special courtesy having been extended to the conference by our country. But her most liberal training came from her long assoctation in the department to Alva A. Adee, who for s its permanent assistant 1 one of the foremost authorities on things diplomatic in the world.

Questlons_ from readers are answered daily by Dr. na. president of the Fede a. adman seeks to answer inuiries that appoar to be repre sentative of the trends of thought m the many letters which he receives. Middletown, Conn. I St. Matthews, vi27, we read, “Which of you by taking thoushi can add one cubit unto his stature?’ Is not this question by Jesus con- trary to the statement of modern science that abundance of food, to- gether with other factors, causes animal races gradually to increase the size of the individual? Answer—Let me say, first, our Lord is here using proverbial speech. Further, there are no reliable data for the exact evaluation of the cubit. imates vary from 16 to 25 inches. The Greek word translated “taking thought” means to show needless anxiety and should be so read in the verse you quote. The context clearly shows that our Lord here pronounces against the excessive care for food and raiment, which ends in pamper- ing the body at the expense of the soul. The sustenance of physical existence is subordinated to factors over which God alone has complete control. Man's chief concern is to crown his toil for bread and clothes with implicit conti- dence in the Father's benevolence. He will not allow seed time or harvest to fail. Further, should this saying of Jesus be taken to mean that no person can attain physical competency if he or she is continually worrying about it, surely the interpretation would be in complete harmony with modern medi- Newar! N. J. Why do preachers emphasize the clatms of the Kingdom of Christ as being supreme? Is not their putting of the case an injury to our patriot- 1sm? And are we not bound to place our country first in all our thought of the world? Answer—The Kingdam of Christ is not of the world, or it would be lim- ited by the restrictions which fetter other social and religlous organiza- tions. It embraces all ranks and conditions of men, regardless of race, sex or creed; accepts all comers and treats them alike beneath the spiritual sov- erelgnty of its Lord. No priest, preacher or layman loyal to Him can accommodate His claims to local de- mands and remain obedient to His will. Yet so far fram being injurious to patriotism, the kingdom fosters its wise and permanent forms and pro- motes the continuance of nations which respect the laavs of the Master. Violation of His precepts at the in- stigation of hate, greed and cruelty has wrought the havoc which devas. tates states.

But they have not encouraged it. On the contrary, they have resolutely set their faces against it. Are they right or wrong From a psychological and a religi- ous viewpoint they are right. The habit of seeking communication with the discarnate often plays havoc with the seeker's mind, mainly because he or she never gets into the other world atmosphere.

Perhaps you accept this interpretas tion and your question means that, given the possession of an extremely delicate mental sensitiveness, it may be possible to avoid the hazards of the seance by establishing a direct and convineing means of conversation with the departed.
