Really we are living in a wonderful
lime. The whole world is in a state
of evolution, reform. There has been
practically a world-wide victory for
prohibition; woman’s suffrage is com
ing into Its own; and important in
deed to all mothers is the vigorous
fight against vice.
When we pause for a moment in
the conflict and take an inventory of
past and present conditions, we can
not but realize, if we be fair and
thoughtful observers, that really tre
mendous strides have been made in
the crusade against vice in all of its
forms, especially in our large cities,
where it has its biggest strongholds.
Recently, In our own and other
large cities, the Board of Health has
enacted a law Isolating men and
women affected with social diseases.
This should affect the health and hap
piness of generations to come.
Red light districts are being abol
ished In all cities. It is true that, as
a result of this action, houses of evil
are being run in respectable neigh
borhoods, but are not respectable
neighborhoods better equipped to re
sist and prevent the inroads of vice
than the poor and submerged quarters
that have long been victimized by en
trenched systems of vice, police pro
tected and officially maintained?
Moral committees have found the
social evil to be systematized busi
ness.
The reason, more than anything
else, that girls go wrong is that some
one (not the girls themselves) has a
money interest in their going wrong.
Hence, attacks are being made upon
this vice in its commercial phase.
The pulpit and the home have long
fought against vice, and now that the
press, the city, the Htate and the na
tional government have ull become
allies, victory at last is in sight.
War has formally been declared, the
forces of reform have actually been
mobilized, and several actions have
already been fought. The powers of
vice are being steadily pressed back
ward and put more and more on the
defensive. Indeed, we may say that
organized vice is on the run!—L. S. E.
THE REQUISITES
There has recently appeared a book,
written by the dean of women in one
of our colleges, that deals with the op
portunities open to the college-trained
woman and with the necessary mental,
physical and temperamental equip
ment for different kinds of work. Per
haps nothing in it is more striking
than the steadiness with which it
dwells upon the danger of reljing too
much upon talents. “That most un
fortunate young person with the many
talents,” “There is nothing in the
world so common as talent”—over and
over again the warning : „ounded.
What, then, are the fundamental
requisites of a true success — the
things that are in no danger of trip
ping a person up, the things that
count everywhere and always for ric
tory ?
In the first place, good health. Next
to character itself that is the best and
should be the first investment for
every girl.
Second and together, courage and
common sense. No enduring success
ever can be gained without those two.
And finally and always, willingness
to work patiently at difficult and un
congenial tasks.
There are many other qualities that
are desirable—that may, indeed, be
recessary for certain occupations; but
the girl who has character, health,
courage, common sense and industry
can be sure that the world needs her,
that there are large opportunities
open to her, and that she can go con
fidently on toward the kind of success
that makes life really worth while.—

MUSIC
Growth of Musical Interest and Intel
ligence in America.
BY FLORENTINE F. PINKSTON.
For years musical art in America
made its way w'ith great difficulty and
against prejudice. It is of record that
many Puritans believed Christians
should not sing at all. Gradually col
lections of sacred music were intro
duced and the worship of song became
common. It was not, however, until
1770 that a Congregational church al
lowed an organ to be used in its serv
ices, and it is interesting to note that
even as late as 1790 when a Boston
church of that denomination had or
dered an organ from London a parish
ioner offered to reimburse the church
and give alms to the poor if he might
be permitted to hurl the offending
contrivance into the depths of Boston
harbor.
How great an advance has been
made in musical taste may be seen
from the fact that this very Boston is
now the home of what is probably the
world’s finest orchestra. A distin
guished citizen has dedicated to it a
considerable part of his fortune, and a
special hall, one of the “show places”
of the town, has been built to accom
modate its audiences. All this in a
little more than a century.
Today in America a greater outlay
is made for music than in any other
country of the world—willingly, if not
always wisely. Operatic performances
are being given in cities that never
knew them before. Towns of second
or third rank in population are start
ing symphony orchestras. The study
of music is made a feature in public
schools. Our universities have opened
! departments for instruction in <t.
j Music in the churches has vastly im
j proved. It is to be hoped that many
i t’oung Americans will realize in these
strenuous times that learning to sing
| or play does not necessarily mean a
public career. This country is full of
music and music lovers. One reason
j that so many people study music is
: because of the general interest in that
j art. Nothing seems to give so much
1 pleasure, either in the home circle or
in social entertainments, as music.
Finally, remember that it takes
l character and enthusiasm to brave
! through work to success, without fal
5 tering and weakening or breaking
down under the demands of the tre

mendous strain. Enthusiasm has done
wonders for the growth of musical in
terest and intelligence in America.
Time steals flower by flower from the
crown of life. Time gives riper judg
ment and a greater stock of knowl
edge. But when time begins to rob us
of our enthusiasm we ‘begin to fail as
artists and musicians. American au
diences have an enthusiasm that goes
far to compensate for actual musical
learning and they appreciate and en
joy the very best.
THE FIVE FOOD GROUPS
1. Vegetables or fruits.
2. Milk, or cheese, or eggs, or fish,
or meat, or beans.
3. Cereal: Corn, rice, oats, rye, or
wheat.
4.,. Sirup or sugar.
5. Fat: Such as drippings, oleo
margarine, oil, butter.
Choose something from each of
these five groups every day.
More One-dish Meals.
There are some recipes for dishes
of this kind in other United States
Food Leaflets.
“Instead of Meat” (Leaflet No. 8)
tells what foods are good to use when
you don’t buy meat, and how to make
some meatless one-dish meals.
“Make a Little Meat Go a Long
Way” (Leaflet No. 5) will help you
to cut down your meat bills. The
savory stews and meat pies show how
you can give your family a good one
dish meal by using a little meat in
various combinations.
You can make up other recipes for
yourself by combining foods from
most of the five groups. Pass them
on to your neighbor.
Potted Hominy and Beef.
Hominy is excellent to use as part
of a one-dish dinner, if you have a
fire in your stove so that you can
cook it for a long time, or use a fire
less cooker. Heat IV2 quarts of water
to boiling; add 1 teaspoon of salt and
2 cups of hominy which has been
soaked overnight. Cook in a double
boiler for four hours or in the fire
less cooker overnight. This makes 5
cups. This recipe mamy be increased
and enough cooked in different ways
for several meals. Hominy is excel
lent combined with dried, canned, or
fresh fish, or meat and vegetable left
overs may be used. Here is one com
bination.
5 cups cooked hominy.
4 potatoes.
2 cups carrots.
1 teaspoon salt.
Vi pound dried beef.
2 cups milk.
2 tablespoons fat.
2 tablespoons flour.
Melt the fat, stir in the flour, add
the cold milk, and mix well. Cook
until it thickens. Cut the potatoes
and carrots in dice, mix all the ma-i
terials in a baking dish, and bake for
one hour.
These dishes supply all five kinds
of food. Each is enough for the whole
dinner of a family of five. Eat them
with bread and with fruit or jam for
dessert. Then you will have all thd
five kinds of food your body needs.
Fish Chowder
Rabbit, fowl, or any meat may be
used instead of fish, or tomatoes in
stead of milk. Carrots may be omit
ted.
1% pounds fish (fresh, salt, or
canned).
9 potatoes, peeled and cut in small'
pieces.
1 onion, sliced.
2 cups carrots cut in pieces.
(4 pounds salt pork.
3 cups milk.
Pepper.
3 tablespoons flour. '
Cut pork in small pieces and fry
with the chopped onion for five min
utes. Put pork, onions, carrots, and
potatoes in kettle and cover with boil
ing water. Cook until vegetables are
tender. Mix th^ee tablespoons of
flour with one-hale cup of the cold
milk and stir in the liquid in the pot
to thicken. Add the rest of the milk
and the fish which has been removed
from the bone and cut in small pieces.
Cook until the fish is tender, about
10 minutes. Serve hot. You can omit
salt pork and use a tablespoon of
other fat.
Dried Peas With Rice and Tomatoes.
1 Vi cups rice.
2 cups dried peas.
6 onions.
1 tablespoon salt.
(4 teaspoon pepper.
2 cups tomato (fresh or canned).
Soak peas over night in two quarts
of water. Cook until tender in water
in which they soaked. Add rice, on
ions, tomato, and seasonings and cook
20 minutes.
In California they are trying to save
the life of one of the most famous
trees in the world—not a giant red
wood, but a fruit tree that has stood
in a Los Angeles grove since 1873,
after coming from Brazil by way of
the horticultural gardens in Washing
ton. The tree bore the first navel
oranges ever raised in the United
States, and is the parent tree of
groves that bore $67,000,000 worth
last year.
