SOCIETYS ENDLESS CHAIN
Aspects of Iiifc Altered by Our Grow
ing Interdependence
Some have imagined that the pressure
upon the city might be relieved and
tho miseries of the slum modified by
removing families to unoccupied lands
au teaching them to engage in agri
culture and steps have been taken in
this direction But those who expect
to solve or even to simplify the problem
by this method fail to appreciate the
profound change which has come over
the worlds industry during this cen
tury by which it has ceased to be in
dividual and has become organized a
change which is destined to exert more
influence on material conditions and
on the social intellectual moral and
spiritual life of man than did the dis
covery of America the invention of
gunpowder or the art of prlntig Doubt
less this transition is the most impor
tant material change which has ever
taken place in the history of the race
It has separated as by an impassable
gulf the simple homespun individual
istic life of the worlds past from the
complex closely associated life of the
present and of the worlds future
In the age of homespun which for
most of our population reached well
on toward tne middle of this century
the typical farmer could not only till
his own soil but build his own house
make his own furniture and many of
his own tools His wife could take tho
wool as it came from the sheeps back
dye cord spin and weave it and then
make it into a coat for her husband
That is they could together do in a
rough way work which now represents
ten or a dozen trades Their want
were simple and most of them thej
could supply with their own hands
Such a couple could have raised a fam
ily in comparative comfort if they had
been alone on the continent The
were practically independent of tin
whole world
The organization of industry ha
changed all this In it was involved
the division of labor The work of one
trade was divided between a dozen oil
twenty machines each fed by a differ
ent man and each department depend
ent on all the others Moreover great
branches of industry have become link
ed together in a kind of endless chain ol
interdependence so that one link can
not move far unless the other links
move with it North American Ro

NEGLECT IS SUICIDE
Plain Words From Mrs Pinkham Corroborated by Mrs Cfharlee
Dunmore That Ought to Bring Suffering
Women to Their Senses
If you were drowning and friendly hands shoved a plank io you and you
refused it you would be committing suicide
Yet that is precisely what women are doing if they go about their homes
almost dead with misery yet refuse to grasp the kindly hand held out to them
it is suiciaai to go day after day with that dull con

bloating heat and tenderness of the abdomen
which make the weight of your clothes an
almost intolerable burden to yon It is not
natural to suffer so in merely emptying the
bladder Does not that special form of suf

Polishing Linen
The secret of laundry polish lies at
much in the skillful manipulation oi
the polishing iron as in the preparatior
of the starch No starch polish is oi
any value if it is not properly applied
and there is no gain in the use of s
starch polish unless it is properlj
brought out with a polishing iron
These small irons ave usually nickel
plated and cost from 1 to 2 Thej
should be light in order that they may
be used rapidly An exchange illus
trates three varieties of polishing irons
all of which have their advocates A
polishing iron with a heel or a tipped
up end is very desirable because all
the force of the work can be concen
trated on a small portion of the linen
at a time and thus bring out the polish
The Chinese worker usually lays a
damp cloth over his linen and then
passes the iron over It He applies the
damp cloth and iron again and again
with the skill of an expert worker un-
TIIKEE POMSHINO IROXS
til the linen has a gleaming polish
One half a bosom is done at a time
Skillful laundresses shape collars with
an iron and do not require a form
Some American laundresses dampen
bosoniB to be polished with a wet cloth
instead of laying the cloth over them
but it does not give as good results In
all cases the worker prefers to have
the starched bosom dry before begin
ning to iron it
How to Detect Dampness
If you suspect a room is damp shut
it up completely hermetically closing
doors windows and any crevices
through which air could enter Then
place a kilogramme of fresh lime in
the room leaving it uncovered in some
prominent place In twenty four
hours the apartment can be again en
tered and the lime carefully weighed
If it is found to have absorbed more
than ten grammes of water that is
more than 1 per cent of moisture the
room must be regarded as decidedly
damp and unhealthy for a living room
To Thieken Milk
Although every housewife knows to
her cost how promptly milk can curdle
and thicken when one least expects it
to do so this never seems to happen
when sour milk is required but only
at the most inconvenient times It is
however possible to thicken milk to
order as it were and that at twenty
four hours notice Add to the remains
of the milk of the day before a small
quantity of fresh milk and in the afore
mentioned time it will have thickened
sufficiently for every practical purpose
A Good Paste
A strong paste that can be really de
pended upon to do its duty well is made
as follows In half a quart of warm
water dissolve a small teaspoonful of
alum and when it cools add enough
flour to make it into a thin paste Stir
it till smooth then add a pinch or so of
powdered resin aud pour on to the
paste half a cupful of boiling water
When fcll mixed and thickened t rn
into a receptacle with a cover and store
in a dry corner of a cupboard When
required for use soften a small quantity
with warm water
Chocolate Cake
Melt a little of the best chocolate in
a small saucepan with only enough
boiling water to dissolve it then stir
into the icing and spread between the
laj ers and on top Some persons -lay
walnut meats at intervals on tho top
slightly pressing them down into the
icing to keep them firm
Bits About Cooking
Marc Anthony gave the cook who
prepared the banquet lie gave in Cleo
patras honor a city Julius Caesar
paid his cook 4000 a year
France is called the cradle of good
cooking but Athens was tiie home of
the best cooks that the world ever
knew At nonius called tho cooks the
lirst race of kings
Empress Josephine ate most of her
meals in hor own apartment and re
warded the cook who prepared them
with magnificently embroidered
shawls thread laces hats that cost 50
apiece and silk slippers that sold for
almost as much second band
Cooking is largely a matter of taste
bun the bet cooks in the land to day
are negroes Our own Southom col
ored women are real cordon bleus the
black cooks of Cuba are peerless and
no traveler who has visited Constant-
nople or Algeria would take a chef If
he could get a Moor
Napoleons table manners were very
bad He not only ate with his fingers
but put them into the dishes in serving
himself made as much noise as a suc
tion pump in drinking ate with dog
gish rapacity finished the biggest
meal in less than twenty minutes and
expected everybody to follow him
when he left the table

Housed in a Steeple
The only man in the United States
who lives in a church steeple to Heze
kiah Bradds the sexton of the Baptist
church at Westport a suburb of Kan
sas City says the Times of that town
Tho room is small scarcely larger than
a drj goods box- It is just under the
bells In that tiny room he cooks eats
and sleeps Through the small win
dows that furnish light in the daytime
he can see a portion of Kansas CitjV
Above his head the swallows twitter as
they fly in and out through the lattice
work In his small room are a bed a
dresser a tiny stove and a table
He has been sexton of the church for
several years and has occupied this
room in the steeple since his wife left
him Some years ago he married a wid
ow with a grown son The son proved a
bone of contention and after numer
ous quarrels the wife left her husband
taking the furniture with her Then
the church trustees suggested that Mr
Bradds move into the little room be
neath the bells Church members fur
nished the room comfortably and since
then Mr Bradds has lived a lonesome
life
Cider Drinkers in Maine
The abundance of water this summer
uas not caused any decrease in the ru

much help as an extra man in haying
time Up in Canaan one man is said to
have drunk five barrels since last fall
but he promptly takes a back seat
