The Improvement of municipal con ditions, the methods and the part the women of the city are to take in such (natters were the questions up for con sideration at a called meeting of the civic department of the Woman's club of Rock Island, held yesterday afternoon at the public library. The advice of attorney as to the legality of action by women was received and discussed with the result that the de partment voted to secure Miss Har riet Vittum of the Northwest settle ment, Chicago, who addressed the de partment last week to assist In the proper organization of the women of Reck Island. , The opinion prevailed that the most urgent need at the pres ent time is to organize the women of the city for more effective service. In order to bring this about the execu- : live board of the department was an- ' pointed a committee to divide the en tire city Into precincts and sub-precincts and appoint chairmen in charge of these divisions. Miss Vittum in her address to the department last week suggested that the most efficient way of arousing in terest in the women for civic right-: eousness is to call a mass meeting of , women at some public hall and ex-: plain to them the best methods of pro cedure, and this meeting will prob ably be one of the features of Miss Vittum's visit to Rock Island. Miss Vittum is associated with Major Funkhouser in ridding vice from Chi cago. She has a large fund of prac tical knowledge which she imparts In an impressive manner and her help will be of great benefit in the proper. organization of the women. Mrs. T. B. Davis, the president of the club, addressed the department briefly urging them to be loyal to their club, loyal to the work and loyal . to their home city, for through loyalty great good can be accomplished. Some discussion as to the advis ability of giving publicity to the pro ceedings of the department arose and ! the matter was discussed pro and con. i with the result that the Rock Island Th Child That Is to He" that an-1 -". s an expression GRADUATE NURSES MEET.

Today, however, I wish to write par ticularly of a steam cooker which is like a tin or copper miniature refrig erator In .looks.. It. has two doors, which open into two shelf compart ments where the food Is placed for cooking. The bottom has a depth of three inches or more for holding' wa ter. This cooker, - when filled with food, with water in the pan and placed over a single burner, cooks -all the food perfectly by steam. A whole dinner can be put into it, placed over the Are, and, let alone, the steam will do the rest. A poor cook can't spoil a meal if she. tries. A good cook can get a better, meal. . It saves nearly one-third of the food which is lost by ordinary methods in cooking. In regular open cooking uten sils, at least one or two ounces out of even' pound of meat Is lost while cook-! ing. This ha been scientifically prov-1 en. By this steam method .not an ounce la lost in the cooking, and the toughest meat is made most palatable and tender. Foods cooked - bv this method are absolutely free -from dis ease germs and polluted water. Surely this is Important in the preparation of all foods. . Steamed Cooked Dinner. Steamed Veal loat ' Potatoes Turnips Rlo Pudding with Raisins , Coffee Val Loaf. Materials Iean veal, two pounds; salt pork, one-half pound: bread crumbs, one cup; eggs, two; salt, j two teaspoonfuls; celery, cut fine, ont tablespoonful r parsley, cut fine, oae tableepoonful; onion, grated, one ta blespoonful.
