Winifred Black Writes of Ford’s Mass Cooking Pr »phecy FORESEEING DAY OF COMMUNITY FEEDING Famous Writer Hopes Mr. Ford Is a False Prophet, For She Dreads Even to Think of the Time When We May Live “to Order.” , By WINIFRED BLACK NO more kitchens in the farmhouses. No more pantries. No more buttleries. No more "down cellars’* with potatoes, cabbage and carrots and things. No fussing with cereals for breakfast,—no cooking them ahead of time and warming them over the steamer to be sure to have them right for the head of the house. No more egg-beating and flour sifting, no more frizzling of the bacon in the pan. No more doughnuta,' all brown and crisp. No more home-made apple butter. Henry Ford says sol Mr. Ford says the world will have to re form and take the drudgery out of the home. And out of the barn, too. There aren’t going to be any more farms. Ford says, and no more farmers. Big corporations will plow and sow and - reap and big central kitchens will cook all the WINIFRED BLACK food and send it out to the farm houses in .. _ , enormous trucks and they’ll be delivered hot three times a day—nothing to do but pay the bills. Horrors! I do hope I won’t live to see that day. Community homes, community farms, community cooking— when will they begin to have community marriage and community babies ? The one thing you like about your own home Is that it is your own and not John Smith’s. E'o you want to have roast beef and Yorkshire pudding on ! Wednesdays because John Smith is going to have roast beef and York pudding at his house? Or would you rather have some fried Mit pork and fried apples and a few dozen hot biscuits—just to ba different?

Oh, yes, you can buy lemon pies a dozen times a day. at a - dozen different bakeries, but they’re not the same as the one that mother used to make and they never will be the same, no matter how good the baker is. Oh, well, some day we’U ai! be incorporated—and poets will ■ wnte to order so many lines an hour, and painters will be corpora * tinn employees and they'll paint the same old pictures over and over •gain.

Three-Minute Journeys By TEMPLE MANNING A Visit to Luxemburg, the InlanA Gibraltar of Europe. OF ALL the out-of-the-way •pots tn Europe where the tn quietUve tourist may find sur cease from the drab monotony of routine travel, few offer more plo tureaque possibilities than that tiny romantic Rusllcanla known as the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg.

Luxem burg has been a strategic factor in virtually every European war for thirteen eanturlea Modern arma ment has rendered Us Intricate system of underground fortifica tions much tees formidable, but even during the recent World War the encient fortress of Luxemburg was ; on* of Germany's meet valuable and affective out posts. Perhaps no city tn Europe has a finer scenic background than the • ear her-bee ten old capital of the diminutive duchy. Out of the high land rocks a stream has cut a steep ravin* cf serpentine shape.

RIGHT LIVING IS THE BEST BLOOD MEDICINE Anemia Has Fertile Ground Among the Vast Army of Indoor-Workers, Says Dr. Copeland, Advising a Careful, Hygienic Life to Overcome It. By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D. lotted States Senator from New York. Former Commissioner of Health, yew Fork City. IN my mail I found recently a letter from a man of apparent culture inquiring what to take to purify hia blood. It is not un I common to be asked what “blood medicine” is good. Back of all such question:) is a fundamental error. Nothing of good or evil originates in the olood. This fluid is merely part of what m>ght bo called the trans ; portation system of the body. The chief, if not the sole function of the blood is to carry ma terial from one part of the body to other parts. The blood will be “rich,” filled with nourish ing and life promoting agents, if the owner is living the right sort of life. If you are a dys peptic, eating the wrong foods, eating at the wrong times. or taking the wrong quantities, ‘ the blood will not be given those substances that are needed if your cells and tissues are to thrive. Loss of appetite, lack of energy, sallow skin, pain in the joints and muscles—these are sure to be your symptoms if you do not supply your blood with quantities of body building materials. ] These are materials that you get from food and_ ; air and light They do not come out of bottles. £*» COPClAnd In young and old, one of the most common of ailments is anemia. 1 am speaking now of what the doctors call “secondary anemia,” a type due to some underlying defect in the : system. The “primary anemia” is quite another ailment Everybody knows the symptoms of anemia. Paleness of the lips and akin and marked loss of< strength, are the chief s:gns. The victim feels l:ke a dish-rag—no energy', no ambition, no "pep." Per haps the pulse is rapid or irregular. Headache, dizziness, loss of steep, pains here and there throughout the body—these are common symptoms. Indoor workers. Congressmen, of fice men and women—all who have confining. Inside work—are apt to be anergic. They may have good color in the Summer, especially after a vacation, but during the Winter they fade by the day. There are four chief causes for anemia of this type. The first is un suitable feeding. 1 have already en larged upon this phase of the sub ject. You cannot have red blood and good color unless you eat properly. You must have the foods that con tain the minerals, especially Iron. You must have your full share of the mysterious vitamins. This means you must choose your food with care. The second cause for anemia is the absorption of poisons from the weetes of the body. Constipation and fermentation in the bowel can not be disregarded as fruitful in thdr output of bodily poisons. Under this head would come. too. the absorption of pus from the gums, teeth, tonsils or other pares of the body. You cannot be well if there Is a chronic infection somewhere in your im>;dea The third cause for anemia ts over-work, or over-worry, anything ► - — - —.. - . that exhausts the nervous system. Nature cannot be cheated, if sne la. you must pay the penalty. The fourth cause 1 regard ae tn«e’ Important of all. This is bad hyg’ene. If you live in the midst of unhealthy surroundings, without fresh air. an abundance of light and exerciae. you are eure to Impair the quality of your blood. Tou are eure to become anemic. Uach of the causes 1 have recited carries Us own suggestion of how to ! overcome 1L It is only by right liv ! ing and attention to the rules of per sonal hygiene that you can hops to escape anemia.

The first thing they noticed waa the sunshine, which, even though it w-aa mid-Winter. was so bright that it was all they could do to kaep out of Us way. Shadows, you muat know, dread the sunshine. That's why you will always find them hiding behind you when the sun ts shining in your face, or in front of you when It la shining at your back. When it is shining down from directly overhead, the poor shadows are In a plight, for then they' can hide neither before nor be hind you. but must make themselves as small as possible and try to hide under the solas of your shoes. "1 wish the moon were shining Instead of the sun." cried Tam who. being a plump little shadow-girl, had a good deal of trouble making her self small.
