Railroad Woman's Club Report.
In view of the formation of a new
committee in the federated clubs of
the country known as the industtral
relations committee, the. following re
port given by Mrs. .Sadie Young, presi
dent of the Railroad Woman's club
of Portland, at the recent convention
at Salem, Is of special interest:
'The Railroad Woman's club is
unique In its' organization. Realizing
lack of understanding, our c'.ub is the
Industrial world are brought about by
lack of understanding, out club is the
expression of the realization of a neces
sity for a greater degree of under
standing between the public and the
members of thac great industrial in-
titutlon, the. railroad. are non
partisan and non-sectarian. Among
ur various activities we are making
a. study of new Oregon. Did Oregon
passed away and new Oregon is be
ing: born with advancing ideas and pro
gressive laws; a potent factor in
the advancement of our state is the en
franchisement of women. Oregon, with
lier vast Water power and other natural
resources, has attrai ted great capital
great industries will be the next step
ana with It will come immigrants from
all corners of the earth. The club
w-omen of Oregon can do much toward
preventing colony settlements, creed
and national discrimination by Insisting
that the industries demand a perfect
citizenship and thus assist In mould
ing the people in our greats "melting
Jot" Into a harmonious whole under
tne flag."

argued the cooperation of mothers in
Informing their children of social dan
gers. He spoke at some length on the
social status of the illegitimate child,
begging that they might receive a fair
chance In life, and that more fortunate
children might be taught a greater
charity, not In gifts, but In thought
.and social consideration.

Very well, then. Get the "useless"
things, good for nothing but fun. And
then prepare for a picnic. Borrowing
a chiid for Christmas is a guaranteed
remedy for the glooms. It turns the
worst pessimist into a chronic eheer
upodist. Sharing the youngster's joy
takes 10 years off your age at a single
whack. When the child comes in at
the door the blues fly out through the
window.
And the beauty of this scheme Is
that you don't have to be a childless
couple to share Its benefits. Nut at
all. It works all the better if you
already have a house full of children.
One more won't add to your burdens,
ami the more the merrier anyway. The
borrowed youngster will have all the
livelier i.me if there are other boys
and girls. The families that have bor
rowed a child for Christmas in previous
vears say they wouldn't think of
al andoning the custom. Of course
there will be enough youngsters to go
around; still, it's a wise idea to do
your Chrfstmas borrowing early. Make
arrangements now while you can have

"I cannot understand it, either," she
continued. "I am never troubled with

Her friend advised her to put her
feet on the ledge a Ions' the radiator

right results. No more was heard
from her about cold feet, but much
about her determination to get Christ

had hurried to keep her engagement to

PRACTICAL SUGGESTION
I
Copyright. 1915, by Lillian Russell.
N T1QS age when nien and women
assert their right to reason and in
vestigate all thing pertaining to
their well-being and their moral, men
tal and physical welfare, all efforts
to enlighten the public mind should
meet with general approbation.
It does not follow, hrwever, that
these efforts must be approved only
as they stimulate mental activity in
others, whereby truth and error, good
and evil may he distinguished as they
pass through the fiery ordeal of criti
cism. The revelations of modern science
have given a great Impetus to the pub
lic mind in carrying on its investiga
tions by sifting truth from error.
Kvery department of life has been
acted upon. Travel, commerce, social
intercourse, international law, popular
education all have been carried for
ward toward a complete development.
Arts of living have been simplified,
the luxurtes of all classes multiplied
and facilities' afforded in every way
for increasing popular knowledge aug
mented in an untold ratio.
Of what use are theories or schools
If they fail in practice?
Life is spiritual, but living is a prac
tical matter, not a theoretical specu
lation. It is personal with active du
ties, no part of which can be delegated
to others without loss. Individuality
accepts responsibilities.
To grow in wisdom we must think
else the plains of existence become as
arid wastes.
Health is unquestionably a matter
of the first importance to everyone.
It is as practical and personal as lifi
Itself. It may be i ailed the art of
living, or you may dignify it by call
ing it the science of life.
If life is valuable, if its object
are desirable, if Its preservation is a
thing of consequence, can there be a
more Important matter brought under
public notice than the principle of
health? '
Why should the popular mind be
neglected on facts relating to health
and filled with false excitement, mag
nified news and artificial pleasures?
The latter are of far less ooii3og,uen e
to their interests and happiness.
People have hitherto been virtually
shut out from participation in knowl
edge of their own stru-ture, the causes
of disease and prim lples of health.
Physicians have thought it beneath
them to write to the people on mat
ters of disease. The vast medium of
ideas between man and woman, the
newspapers, have been In suited by our
learned professors. The people unin
formed as to the nature, cause and cure
of disease have been ea.sily caught by
vulgar assertions and names, without
explanation. Quackery has flourished till
the professional name has become al
most a byword and n proach.
"What is a physician If lie Is not a'
curator of the people's health? Is he
merely to theorize, to quote authori
ties, to write long prescriptions from
books, to utter mandates in an un
known tongue, to hand over his pa
tients to the tender mercies of the
apothecaries and then fold his arms
and stand in dignified "self-respect"?
No. There is for him a higher and
nobler duty. It is his province not
only to prescribe for but to Instruct
his patients In any way that can give
them a knowledge of their own bodies
and how to protect them. And by
this means alone will he guard thern
against the thousand deceptions by'
which they are surrounded on every
side.
If this course were practiced &
great deal of th drugging and doc
toring so fatal today would be abol
ished and a healthier and iiappler race
would be the result.

At Your Grocers
are recipes for home-made Christmas
sweets from the December Pictorial
Re vie w :
CRL'AXI GRAPES. Three lbs. con
fectioners' sugar, 1 pint water, pinch
cream of tartar, grapes. First make
your fondant, putting the sugar into
a saucepan, adding the cold water, and
stirring over the fire until the sugar Is
dissolved. Add the cream of tartar and
allcw the mixture to boil until it forms
a soft ball when tried in cold water:
then pour into a basin which has been
rinsed with cold water. When it is
cool enough for you to put your finger
in ine middle or it, cream it and when
thick, knead with your hands until it
io a solid, firm, creamy mass. Drop
some of this fondant Into a small
saucepan, add a few drops of lukewarm
water and melt it carefully, stirring
continuously. Dip each grape into the
melted fondant, drop on wax paper and
set on a tray or tin until it hardens.
SEA -FOAM CANDY. -- Three cup
fuls brown sugar, l cupful boiling wa
ter, 2 egg whites, 1 teaspoonful vanilla,
1 cupful pecans or English walnuts.
Place the sugar and water together in
a saucepan. Stir until the sugar is dis
solved; then cook without stirring until
a little dropped in cold water forms a
soft ball. Have the egg whites stiffly
beaten, pour the boiling hot eyrup
over them, and beat until the mass is
soft and creamy. Add the vanilla and
the nuts and continue to beat until the
candy stiffens. When nearly set, drop
by spoonfuls on wax paper and leave
until hardened.
BAKED CANDIES One and a half
cupfuls brown sugar, orange or lemon
flavoring, pinch of salt, two cupfuls
chopped hickory nuts, one-quarter tea
spoonful baking soda, one egg. Beat
the egg to a stiff froth. Add the
sugar, also the baking soda, and con
tinue to beat until the mixture is
smooth and creamy. Flavor to taste
and add the nuts, finely chopped, stir
ring so that they are well blended with
the other ingredients. This quantity
of nuts should be enough to form the
mixture into a stiff paste. Spread on
greased papers and lay these on bak
ing pans. Bake In moderate oven for
20 minutes, and when cold cut into
sauares. Fold each of these squares
in wax paper so that they will not run
together.
