PAGE EIGHT GO0D ADVISE FOR THE HOUSEKEEPER Women’s Club Gives Instructions on How to Make Grand Rapids a More Healthy Village. The crusade inaugurated by the Woman's club for a spick and span Grand Rapids is certainly a com- mendable one and everybody should e@esist them in every way possible. The club is going after the filth and refuse in a systematic manner and in an article, which is here re- produced, gives some excellent ad- vice to the housewives on burning the vegetable accumulation. The ar- ticle follows “Although everything is of some use some place, many things become disconnected from their proper places and therefcre useless or even har The skin of the potato ful- oful fills its purpose while protecting the flesh of the tuber but after it is re moved by the housewife as she pre- jinner, this same valuable cov- out of its natural position, be- useless so far as the needs ‘pare: ering, come of the household are concerned. How- ever, potato peelings make suitable food for poultry or stock, but, de- in the backyard during the warm spring days, they lure flies and foul the air thus being not only but positively harmful. » things whose puywse is of use nor beauty have excuse for existence. Much h in the household is, or should d, waste. It may be in- e such as tin cans, bot- s or old umbrella frames, y be organic, animal or vege- , such as old garments pa- od scraps and the like. If se things can serve no known ful purpose, they should be dis- posed of. No method of disposal which threatens health is wise, Use- less and broken receptacles dumped in alleys or outside the village lim- » not merely public eye-sores, but, filled with rain water are often too generously supported public in- cubators for misquitos which infest the entire community. Such inorgan- » should be covered with a earth or be used to fill in for made Ashes may also be used for the latter purpose. Wood 4shes are valuable as a fertilizer anu for such use farmers may be willing the pile from the alley conside ite a ground. to haul out this spring. These ashes are placed in the privy vault. Coal ashes make good walks in the back yard. Fire is the great purifier and to it should be committed all combustible waste erials. Old shoes, rags and papers should never be allowed to d se the yard or the street outside. Our ancestors, only a gen- eration or two removed, would have considered the burning of such in the cook stove simply a demonstra- tion of good management and ordin- ary neatness. “All food materials burn readily when freed from water. If one has no domestic animals to serve as scavengers for potato parings, pea pods, corn husks and the like, these wastes may be dried out on the back of the range or in the oven and then such material in the range on the plea of injury to the grates. The in- jury, if any, is small while the des- truction of a source of unpleasant- ness and harm is of great importance “Food wastes, such as pods which @re partially dry should not be com- bined with wet garbage but simply dried further before burning. Potato perings, coffee grounds and like waste can be quickly drained by emr- tying into a large sieve over the slop pa'l or into a strainer in the sink. Of course the strainer in eith- er case must be Kept clean and sweet. A little forethought and extra care for a time will result in the form- ing of habits of work which make these methods of disposal easy and pleasant. “If the sewer is not available for carrying off the liquid waste from the household, it may be safely pour- ed out on small patches of ground. The soil should not become water soaked because the organic material present does not decompose rapjdly enough and sours. Hence the neces- sity of changing the spot where waste water is thrown out. It is always safer thrown on the surface than emptied into holes because de composition takes place much more rapidly on or very near the surface of the ground. Slops should never be used for watering gardens, especi- ally beds of lettuce, radishes and other vegetables to be eaten uncook- ed. ( “If the accumulation of the’ winter's waste cannot be cleaned up just now, we can start the housekeepers’ cru- sade for a spick and span village by putting the garbage to dry tonight so that it may be burned tomorrow. GRAND RAPIDS HERALD-REVIEW WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19, 1611, ABOUT MEXICO This Time It Is Said That Wil- son Saw Anarchy. LIKE CONDITIONS IN CHINA. Telegram to President Taft Said to Have Expressed Opinion That Repe- tition of Boxer Outbreak Was Possi- ble—Congressman Sulzer Says Party Lines Stop at Nation’s Boundary. By ARTHUR W. DUNN. Washington, April 20.—[{Special.]— That Ambassador Henry L. Wilson be- came very much alarmed at the situa- tion in Mexico is the latest informa- tion regarding the movement of troops to the Mexican border. He saw there conditions similar to those in Peking when the foreign legations were be- sieged in ‘the China Boxer troubles and sent such a frantic dispatch to the president that troops were at once or- dered to go to Texas for maneuvers. President Taft in giving the order to General Wood was careful to say that the troops were not to cross the bor- der until congress should say so, but he wanted them there ready to move if it became necessary. It would not have appeared very well on paper or in an official statement to say that the government Diaz had erected was in such bad shape that it could not guar- antee protection to the foreigners and was no better than the Chinese gov- ernment at the time of the Boxer trou- The document in the case will not be made public unless a fight in congress makes it necessary. Nonpartisan Foreign Affairs. William Sulzer, chairman of the thouse committee on foreign affairs, says that party lines do not extend be- yond the borders of the country and, while there may be partisanship in domestic affairs, that there must be united action in dealing with foreign nations. That seems to give an assur- ance that there will be no effort to discredit the action of the administra- tion in the Mexican movement. But there may be a suggestion that the movement of troops was purely domes- tic, in which event it could be made the subject of party differences. “It ought to be made as emphatic as could be stated,” said Sulzer, “that Japan was in no way concerned in the movement of the troops. All the stuff sent out on this subject originates with and is put out by the junta at San An- tonio.” J. Hampton Moore believes that if the nations of the earth would agree not to sell discarded firearms to in- surrectos there would be much less dis- turbances in many of the inferior coun- tries. He is going to make a move in that direction, with a view of cutting off the supply of arms to the revolu- tionists, who can afford to fight when they get arms cheap. Both Out of a Job. Dorsey Shackleford of Missouri was once a member of the important com- mittee on interstate commerce, but Minority Leader Williams and Speaker Cannon removed him because they did not like his views. Now Shackleford is a member of the more important committee of ways and means. “I don’t care much about it,” remark- ed Shackleford. “I did want to stay on the other committee at the time, but I am not much interested now. Both Uncle Joe and myself are now out of our old jobs.” Taking Care of Delegates. Looking over the list of committees it is noticed that Delegate Cameron of Arizona is a member of four good com- mittees and that Delegate Andrews of New Mexico has three committees. Both are better placed in regard to number than any other members of the house. But it may be that their positions will not last very long, as the admission of those territories as states will abolish the delegates. Be- | sides, they do not vote in the house or on the committees. Diefenderfer’s Experience. “I have had experience with the newspapers,” remarked Congressman Diefenderfer of Pennsylvania. “I had been in China just previous to the Boxer uprising, and when I came home I told the newspapers about the con- ditions. My views were widely circu- lated, and I heard from it, you bet. iWhy, my mail came in by the basket- ful for weeks and months, mostly let- ters of denunciation. You see, I told the truth about the causes of the trou- bles—said they were largely stirred up by the missionaries—and the friends of those people jumped on me from every part of the country.” “Skidded Out.” Congressman Raker of California lo- cated himself in one of the desirable rooms of the house office building, but did not stsy long. “I am skidded out, if you know | what thot means,” said Raker, who | comes from a country where they have a grea’ deal of lumbering. “You see, I located here, but I am now getting | out because Weeks of Massachusetts wants it, and he gets it by right of seniority.” In the army posts where many of- ficers have to move because an officer of higher grade wants the house it is called “ranked out.” ANOTHER STORY HOUSE PLANS WORK METHODS Adjournments Will Be Taken as Senate Talks, DEAOLOGK SEEMS PROBABLE. Senate Likely to Adopt Amendment to Measure Providing For Direct Elec- tion of Senators—This Amendment | Will Give Federal Government Con- trol of Elections. By ARTHUR W. DUNN. Washington, April 21.—[Special.J— There is likely to be a deadlock be- tween the senate and house over the proposed amendment to the constitu- tion for the election of senators by di- rect vote of the people. The house has passed the Borah resolution or a res- olution worded the same as the Borah resolution. The senate is almost sure to add the Sutherland amendment. It seems cer- tain that the majority party in the | house will refuse to accept the amend- | ed resolution, in which event there will be a conference and perhaps a dead- lock between the two houses. While the Democrats in the senate generally opposed the Sutherland amendment, which looked to the super- vision of elections by the federal gov- ernment or at least left the control in the federal government if it wished to exercise it, many of them waived their | opposition and voted for it because they wanted to have the resolution Measures Favorably Reported. Washington, April 14The Demo- cratic committee on ways and means got down to business ahd in a few Minutes had ordered a favorable re- port to the house on the Canadian reciprocity bill and the farmers’ free list amendments to the Payne tariff law. QUICK ACTION IN THE HOUSE | Resolution for Direct Election of Sen- ators Approved, Washington, April 15.—The house of representatives, by a vote of 296 to 16, passed the Rucker resolution pro- Posing a constitutional amendment for the direct election of United States senators. This is the first of the Democratic program measures passed by the _ house. Backed by a solid Democratic phalanx it went through without mod- ification and with a speed that brought | protests from the Republicans. Those who opposed the resolution on the final vote were: Republicans— Cannon, Mann, Mllinois; Danforth, Dwight, Malby, New York; Dodds, Fordney, Lawrence, McCall, Wilder, Massachusetts; Hinds, Maine; Sullo- way, New Hampshire; Utter, Rhode | Island. | Democrat—McDermont, Illinois. Kansas City Physician Under Life Sentence for Murder. Kansas City, April 12.—Dr. B. Clark Hyde, convicted after a sensational trial of the murder of Colonel Thomas H. Swope, a millionaire philanthro- pist, was granted a new trial by the Missouri supreme court sitting at Jef- ferson City. Dr. Hyde has been in the county jail at Kansas City nearly a year following a sentence to life im- prisonment. adopted if it did not altogether suit | them. That situation may arise in the house rather than to have the resolu- tion fail. Automatic Adjournments. After the house clears up the pro- gram which the majority outlined it is proposed to arrange for a series of automatic adjournments by which the house will meet twice a week and ad- journ immediately, transacting no busi- ness. This will allow members to re- turn home while the senate Is debat- ing the various bills which the house has passed. If the senate takes as much time as usual to pass the differ- ent measures it will mean quite a long | period of rest for the house. Nearly every man in congress hopes for a short session, but very few see the end much before July. It is quite well understood that the Democrats do not believe that the Republican sen- ate will pass tariff bills. “Of course we will stay right here and pass the bills,” said Chairman Underwood. “If the senate wants to take up our bills and pass them we will stay here all summer, but if there is no disposition to consider them after a reasonable time then we will take up the matter of adjournment.” Confidence In Carter. Soon after ex-Senator Carter landed his job as Canadian boundary com- missioner Senator Brandegee of Con- necticut uttered this tribute of praise for the Montana man: “Trust Tom to land on his feet every time. He’s the smoothest article we ever had in the senate. If he was dropped from a balloon 10,000 feet high he would land all right and with a proposition all worked out for rearranging and run- ning the universe to meet the new method of navigating the air.” Makes People Think. A report of a consul in Hull, Eng- land, says that municipal ownership of the street car system is a success. In ten years $700,000 has been receiv- ed over and above operating expenses, which has lessened taxation. The fare is 2 cents and in the morning hours 1 cent. There are two cities in Canada where there are no taxes, as the pub- lic utilities pay the expenses of the city government. Such things cause a great many people to do serious thinking on the subject of municipal ownership. The publication of such facts in government reports gives them a wide circulation. Plenty of Buildings. If Congressman Austin of Tennessee could have his way the whole country would be well supplied with public buildings. He has introduced a bill lo- cating a building at every county seat. They would not cost as much as the Panama canal, but would push it pret- ty hard as a matter of public expendi- ture. Just what he would do in regard to many places where there is nothing at the county seat save the courthouse is not explained in the bill. Frank Clark, Economist. Congressman Clark of Florida has gone way past the other Democrats in the matter of economy. He has pro- posed the abolition of many commit- tees overlooked by the ways and means committee and also many positions which are really of little use in con- ducting the business of the house. Clark was within reaching distance of the chairmanship of the committee on merchant marine, being the rank- ing member, but was not given the place. He now is doing a little “in- surging” from time to time. But there must be something vital to an insur gent movement to make it a success or even formidable. Southern Accent Heard. These are the days that the southern accent is heard about the house of representatives. Many of the new em- ployees are from the southland and there are quite a number around from that section who would like to connect With the payroll. rea in i COMING TO GRAND RAPIDS | NORTHWESTERN UNITED DOCTORS Will be at Pokegama Hotel from Sunday noon, April 30 to Mon- day noon May Ist. | Remarkable Success of these Tal- ented Physicians in'the Treat- ment of Chronic Diseases.
