WOMAN AND HOME 
From Day to Day 
New Glory 
01(1 Glory is a gallant flag. 
It s]leaks of days gone by 
When hero spirits did not lag, 
lint sprang to do or die. 
Old Glory tells of triumphs old. 
I>rave deeds on land and sea ; 
Rut now my service flag, behold ! 
New Glory is to me. 
Reside Old Glory, floating fair 
In red and white and blue. 
New Glory leaps upon the air 
To those dear colors true ; 
.‘^till red. the love of beating heart; 
Still white, the pure design ; 
Still blue of truth’s eternal art: 
Still stars that loyal shine. 
Old Glory has a noble tale 
Superbly to relate: 
The thirteen States that did not fail. 
The splendid forty-eight. 
New Glory, in a simple way, 
So modest and so clear, 
Has only one short word to say. 
Rut oh, how proudly dear! 
Old Glory means our mighty laud. 
And now the brother earth: 
New Glory means my hero’s hand, 
My hero’s dauntle.ss woi-th. 
Old Glory fills the farthest marge. 
New Glory decks a Avail ; 
Rut all f)ld Glory means in large 
NeAV Glory means in small. 
—Amos K. Wells, in 
Youth’s (’omiianion. 
IIkuk is a recipe for a Avheatless bread, 
serv('d at the Hotel Martinique, as given 
by the New York Tribune. Its advan¬ 
tage is the fact that it uses live Avheat 
substitutes, and Ave are all trying to find 
Avays of using them : 
One pound rye. one-half pound barley 
flour, one-half pound rice flour, one-half 
pound corn flour, one-half pound potato 
flour, one ounce yeast, one ounce salt, 
one quart Avater. Mix flour and salt to¬ 
gether, add yeast and Avater. and mix to 
a .stiff dough. Knead on floured board 
until elastic and light, set to rise until 
double in bulk, cut down and form into 
loaA’os, set to rise again, and Avhen double 
in bulk bake in hot oA'en.

A’atiA’e in their tastes, and apparently per- 
jietually sati.sfied Avith things as they are; 
it is only restless human beings who are 
foreA'er changing. IMd you CA'er notice 
I’.OAv alarmed the hens are Avhen the girl 
or woman Avho cares for them suddenly 
aiqiears in a noticeably new dress? Hens 
have no idea of style, complains one young 
friend; she Avent to feed them Av<‘aring 
a neAV sport skirt of a noticeable light 
plaid, and the terrified birds almost Avent 
into hysterics; it took a great deal of 
coaxing, and a shabby kitchen apron that 
eiiA'cloped the offending skirt, bi'fore reason¬ 
able calmne.ss Avas restored. A good many 
humans seem to view ncAV ideas much as 
those Rhode Island Reds A'iewed the new 
skirt. The changing status of Avoman is 
jiarticularly aggravating to many; tlnyv 
“view Avith alarm” AvheneA'er she finds 
some ncAv job (and gets paid for it), and 
are already foreseeing a complete dislo¬ 
cation of domestic life as a result of the 
changes forced by the Avorld Avar. Some¬ 
how. we have never been able to feel 
hlarmed over this. We kuoAv that, Avith 
few exceiitions. home and its affections 
Avill alAvays po.s.sess the strongest possible 
apiieal for the majority of Avonien, and 
the child Avill remain the most poAverful 
factor in the average AAi-oman’s life. Rut 
AA'omen cveryAvhere are being paid for 
their work, and. after all, this seems the 
great offense to the hardshelled old con- 
s“rvat.iv(>.s who think they ought to Avork 
for their board and clothes. We believe 
that one outcome of the great Avar AA’ill be 
an equality of comradeship between men 
and AA'omen on a basis of the real things 
of life ; the women AA’ho have Avorked, and 
the men Avho have fought, Avill have out¬ 
grown many jietty standards as a result 
of the realities they haA^e faced. 
SroAK rationing Avas put in force June 
15. Hotels. re.staurants. boarding houses 
and all imblic eating places are expected 
to limit their supply to three pounds a 
month per jierson. For “household uses” 
the monthly alloAvance per person A’aries 
from two pounds for city to fiv'c pounds 
to rural consumers. Sugar for canning 
and preserving is not limited, but it can 
only be obtained on canning certificates 
and must be used for this purpose alone. 
Manufacturers will not l)e permitted to 
buy sugar AA-ithout a manufacturer’s cer¬ 
tificate. Without sugar cards it Avould 
seem difficult, in many cases, to enforce 
this rule, but Ave believe that all patriotic 
housekeepers Avill keep Avithin the limit 
Avithout any sort of compulsion.

Undesirable Flavor in Lard 
Gan one of the si.sters of The R. N.-Y. 
family advLse me what to do Avith lard 
that is beginning to get an uuideasant 
odor? My lard is only from the last 
butchering. mrs. h. r. 
No details are given as to method of

caus(?s for defective lard are insufficient

Typhoid Fever on the Farm 
Showing why there is so much danger in unsanitary conditions 
George M. Warren, Hydraulic Engi¬ 
neer. Oflace of Public Roads and Rural 
Engineering, .says that “Popular indif¬ 
ference to the effective disposal of 
seAA’age has existed .so long and so uni¬ 
versally that only within comparatively 
recent years has it been realized that 
this Avaste product of human life is 
poison and must he kept from the food 
and drink of man. From the specific 
germs or poisons that may be carried 
in seAvage at any time there may result 
typhoid feA'er. tuberculosis, hookAA'orm 
disease, cholera, dysentery, diarrhea, or 
other dangerous ailments, and it is not 
improbable that certain obscure mala¬ 
dies may he traced eventually from hu¬ 
man Avaste. The poison is invisible to 
the naked eye and it may be carried by 
many agencies and by devious routes 
and be un.suspectingly received into the 
human body. Infection may come from 
the SAvirling dust of the railway road¬ 
bed. from personal or indirect contact 
Avith transitory or chronic carriers of 
disease, from green truck groAvu in 
gardens fertilized AA'ith night .soil or 
seAvage, from food prepared or touchetl 
by unclean hands or A'isited by flies and 
vermin, from milk handled by .sickly 
and careless dairymen, or milk cans 
and utensils Avashed Avith polluted Avater 
from AA'ells. springs, brooks, and lakes 
receiving the surRaco wash or the un¬ 
derground drainage from seAvage-pol- 
Inted .soil, and from many other 
sources.” 
Hapliily the indifference of Avhich Mr. 
Warren .speaks, Avhile still universal 
enough to excite concern, is gradually 
being replaced by a commendable in¬ 
terest in the devices Avhich have been 
deA’^eloped to OA-ercome the lack of sani¬ 
tary .seAvage on the farm. 
Illustrated and described here is a 
sanitary chemical closet Avhich has met 
Avith great faAor, and is uoaa' in use in 
thousands of farms, home.s, schools and 
railroad stations all over the United 
.State.s. It is perhajis the most popular 
of all sub.stitutes of the old time out¬ 
house because of its proA'ed efficiency 
and loAv cost as well as Ioav cost of up¬ 
keep.
