AIDING HOME ESONOMICS.
The benevolent government at j
Washington lias spent many mil- j
lions in teaching the value of
foods for cattle and hogs and how
to save, waste in feeding them.
Now it, is proposed, and very
propertly to spend some money
teaching methods of avoiding
waste in feeding humans.
Senator Smoot has introduced
a bill appropriating $10,000 an
nually to each state and territory
to be used through agricultural
experiment stations in home eco
nomics, the results to he printed
and distributed in each slate and
territory. This would cost the
government $500,000 annually
and save millions to housewives,
he says. “Such legislation,” the
senator avers, “would rob the
American garbage can of millions
of dollars annually, by teaching
young girls how Lo purchase,
properly prepare and cook the
food, and how to utilize the food
left over.” The senator further
said that if he had a dozen daugh
ters and was able to give each
of them a million dollars the day
of their marriage, he “would still
want each one lo know how to
cook and make her own clothes,
in fact, be a superior housekeep
er.”
The utterance of (his one
thought alone, if it could be in
ilelibly impressed upon the minds
of the young girls of I his coun
try, would be worth to the cause
of true education several times
over |h • salary that the Utah sen- !
. ator draws from Ihe public Irens- '
ury.
The senator's bill, which was :
introduced but not passed at Ihe!
last session, il is staled, has Ihe
indorsement of many women's or
ganizations. and since il has be
come the established policy of Ihe
federal government lo draw on
the treasurey for Ihe support of
all kinds of experimental work
designed to educate I hi* people*, we
are inclined In agree witn nun
that such an appropriation right
ly expended would result in home
economies amounting to many
millions of dollars annually. Sen
ator Smoot represents a state,
which, from being a desert when
first settled by a persecuted peo
ple, has been made to blossom j
likal a rose; and to accomplish j
that feat, be assured the most ]
rigid domestic economy had to be ;
practiced in every home.
All that has been said in praise
of the good-natured portly peo
ple may not be true, but the fact
remains that London has not yet
sent out a picture of a fat suf
fragette.
Misromr.
(By George Fitch.)
History is the record of the
past compiled for the benefit of
the future and the installment
book houses.
History in written usually a
hundered years or so after events
have transpired and mankind has
cooled off about them to some ex
tent. It takes a good school
teacher to write history, and a
great man to make it.
Most of our leading manufac
turers are now manufacturing
history. In another hundred
years they will be totally dead,
while some pale, unadvertised
chap will have reformed a na
tion or blown up a navy and swip
ed a throne and will be rumb
ling ponderously down the1 corri
dors of time under the auspices
of fame.
When the world lirst began to
be interested with men there were
no books and few records were
left. The scholar had to write
history by translating inscrip
tions on pyramids and preserved
kings. Nowadays nobody takas
the trouble to carve history on
granite slabs. It is all printed
in tho newspapers. We would
not care to be a historian of the
year 2,000 and be compelled to
read 11 newspaper accounts of
the war in the Balkans and guess
which one is trim.
History is very useful, serving
both as an inspiration and a hor
rible example. From the fall of
Babylon, ’and Joe Gannon, we
should learn that we should not
disregard bandwriting on the
wall. From the fate of Colum
bus, we. should learn that it is of
no nsi1 lo discover a new conti
nent unless you stake out a few
coal and limber claims for your
self. From the American revolu
tion, we should learn that you
can lead a horse to water Iml
look out for bis heels.
Kvery year is producing his
tory, but some years give down
l etter than others. Owing to the
great output of wars in the last
ten years history is being produc
ed at a tremendous rate, and it
now looks as if the millennium
would have to be crowded into
the next century for lack of space.
Spring Remedies.
Oh, this is the season when
man’s feeling sluggish, his system
is loaded with various ills; he
spends all his roubles for reme
dies druggish, and swallow’s five
bushels of vitrified pills. His
blood is depraved and his liver is
balky, there’s fur on his longue,
and a boil on his kne'c, and often
he longs, when he’s feeling so
rocky, for burdock and bourse!
and sassafras eat. All, where is
the nnhle old beldame who brew
ed it, the lea of our fathers, that
healed them so quick? The bel
dame who boiled it and stirred it
and stewed it, and flooded the
works of the folks who were sick?
She’s gone, the yarb woman. A
foolish world mocked her, she’s
sailing alone on a eascara sea;
and now we must go to the drug
gist and doctor, we can’t have a
swig of her sassafras tea. My
blood’s out of whack and my
stomach is fussy. I go to the
druggist, the ailing man’s hope;
he mixes some poison that’s mes
sy and nasty, and charges three
bones for a dime’s worth of dope.
My diaphragm’s sore and my col
lar bone itches, from pain and
discomfort T seldom am free, and
often 1 yearn for the old-fashion
ed witches who brewed up their
cauldrons of sassafras tea.
