Richard, published by Whltcomb & Barrons. V,e are all familiar with the compari .'ively new term of Eugenics, but this author holds that Euthenics offers a field for- immediate action j indeed fhould precede eugenics. Euthenics is Refined as "the betterment ' of living conditions through conscious endeavor or the purpose of securing ' efficient human beings." This is,to be develop ed through sanitary science,- through education and through relating science to education and life.- - , The author makes very clear the char- she says, "Cleanliness is above ity." Two Books on Efficiency. Everywhere the slogan is efficiency and nowhere is there more need of this than in our homes. Too long have woman's time and woman's work been counted factors of no definite value and woman herself has been largely to blame for this. But now her eyes are opened and "Increasing Home Effi ciency" by Martha Bensley Bruere, and Robert W. Bruere (Macmillan) and "The Efficient Kitchen," by Georgie Boynton Child (I.IcBride,, Nast & Co.) are veritable eye-openers. "Increasing Home Efficiency" is wit ty and keen, and full of plain common sense. Witness the following: . "What shall it profit a family to have a clean parlor if they have a dirty Well?" "Disastrous is the idea that the run ning of a home can safely be left to in stinct, moral sentiment and romantio inspiration." .,' "Inefficient homes are those with an undue- proportion of sickness, homes which are inharmonious and unhappy, homes in which the members are en gaged in work disadvantageous to the community." The book is based on the results of answers to magazine articles,, lectures, letters and journeys; answers from, middle-class people in . a wide variety of circumstances. The Brueres are firm believers in the value of a budget system for each fam ily. "A family budget is to the house keeper what a set of blue prints is to the builder." "It isn't by tight lacing the dollar bill that one is comfortable, narmous loss to the individual and the community due to preventable illness, ,but by making one.g needs an easy fit and due to not being up to par physi-to one8 incom tally- Preventive measures, such as j "Budgets don't come ready-made, a medical inspection or scnoois, scnoot nurse-5, quarantine, compulsory vac cination, sanitation enforced by city and state, more than pay for the money expended, by the increased efficiency of the individual... . Proper food is another requisite to perfect health. Knowledge as to what constitutes proper food needs- to be come more general, especially among housekeepers.- More harm is done to health by ignoring physical law as to the matter of eating than in any other one thing. Ventilation is another factor not 'fully appreciated. People subject their bodies to abusive treatment which would ruin any ma chine. - - ' . There is a fatal indifference to dirt in our food our air, our homes and even our persons. Dirt is the prime carrier of disease. ' " Not charity Is needed but preventive action. The responsibility of the home !s very great. Bad rearing is worse than bad heredity. Most human effi ciency is result of habits rather than" of inate ability. ' Man should be ashamed that he is the "sickest beast alive." Educati6n on euthenics may be extended by' use of exhibits, health exhibits, pure food ex hibits, better babies contests, etc. Newspapers, magazines and lectures are other means of public education. Large fines for breaking sanitary" laws, imposed in a few" cases, will have Im mediate effect. Indifference of the peo P're. the only stumbling. block to; nation al prosperity. Future well-being of society is large ly in the hands of women. We believe this 'oook would help to waken any ciuo vrho undertook its . study." It is clear and direct and all through the author emphasizes cleanHrress; indeed dozerr in the box; you've got to work out one for yourself, adapting it to your particular circumstances and aspira- tions.'Y "Hiring a servant isn't labor-saving, but labor-shifting. So housewives are catching at the modern labor-saving device, even when it is not a money saving device, as it should be." The many particular families whose circumstances are analyzed and discuss ed furnish both profitable and enter taining food for thought. "The Efficient Kitchen" is full of practical ideas. No detail is too trivial to be considered if it makes for better results with lower cost of time, labor and materials. "The idea of conserva tion of time, of energy and fuel, all costly commodities, is now the keynote of the perfect kitchen equipment nei ther too much nor too little." Various lists have been worked, out showing just what is needed for dif ferent conditions. The advantages and disadvantages of the various types of fuel and equipment are carefully weigh ed and clearly discussed. Indeed, any housekeeper, actual or .potential, will And in this book much to help her, if she desires to put her house-keeping on an efficient basis. consumption is as important a part of economics as producing. One criterion of value is . desire, but it is a 'mistake to aim . too high iti our desires. Satisfaction, in buying -must be - assured. Purposeful spending is needed. In -following a "prevailing sentiment" women need knowledge in dependence and power to choose the fcest. Every woman who contributes bet ter standards of dress, food, home and habits for others to imitate, is adding to the prosperity of the nation, to say nothing of health and happiness. There is however, such a thing as destruct ive imitation and purposeless imitation. The woman who spends intelligently must' know requirements of pure food, healthful dress, proper ventilation and sufficient exercise. ' Food is too often a 'question Of amount and variety rath er than nutriment. Ignorance in this day of knowledge is unpardonable. Dissatisfaction is not. so much due to lack of income as of misuse of it. Not what we lack but what others have causes unrest. Economic responsibil ity cannot be shunned. . The buyer is really responsible -for "cheaply made, badly . constructed- goods, made under bad conditions. The market furnishes what the buyer demands.- One should buy with the eyes open, . should know. "When women cease to consider econ omy as getting - things- cheap and be gin to realize that cheapness begets cheapness the quality of goods offer ed to' them will be changed for the bet ter." , i The last. chapter deals w.ith the value of daily accounts- not so much to make them balance as to know just how the money "goes, to see . if. we are keeping right proportions. Indeed," .if daily ac counts are classified monthly, th re sult is most enlightening. THE HEALTHFUL FARMHAUSE By a. Farmer's Wife; Published WTiitcomb & Barrons, Boston. This book gives practical help to farmers' wives on the problems they have to meet. It is written not for those who can build from the start, but for those who have a home already built but poorly .arranged. Many are the suggestions offered to save labor and make it more enjoyable. Kitchen shed, cellar, dining room, liv ing room, bed rooms and halls are all discussed in a most practical way. Matters of heat, ventilation, cleanli ness and other matters that pertain to health are treated in an interesting and - practical way. This little book of but seventy pages will- be an inspiration to those farmers' wives who have a vision of better things but have supposed that their surroundings were inevitable. It is no virtue to tamely submit to what can be bettered. Questions at the end of each chapter lead the reader to test her own home -to see how it ijasures up to the stand dard. - THE WOMAN WHO SPENDS. By Bertha June Richardson; Published by Wliitesmb & Barrons, 51.00. "In olden times women thought and thought, and thought, before they spent; now women often spend and then think and think, and think." Change in economic conditions have made women spenders rather than pro ducers, though all women have not lost the art of producing.

This book, while designed as text book for pupils, could well be used by women's clubs, who want a book both practical and simple. The chapters are designed to accompany the actual per formance of the processes. The chapter on laundry work shows that science and intelligence are essen tial to best results. Sensible diet, division of Income, and marketing are tiltes of other lessons. The last third of the book is made up of receipts for simple and .wholesome dishes at small expense. -r ' A convenient feature is the tables of weights and measures, e. g. 2 cups chopped mean, 1 lb. Table of proportions, e. g. 2 . teaspoonfuls soda to J pint sour .milk. '. And time tables for roasting and bak ing. . i.

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF OUR SO CIETY FOR THE CHRISTIAN EN. DEAVOR UNIONS LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL. Psalms 133:1-3. "Behold, how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious Oint ment upon the head that ran down up on the beard, even Aaron's beard; that went 'down to the skirts of his gar ments; as the dew of Hermon and as the dew that descended upon the moun tains of Zion for there the liord com manded the blessing, even life for evermore." The principle involved in the topic for this meeting is the principle of the right relation of parts to the whole; The strength of the whole is the strength of the parts. If each part does ita full measure then the whole has a power of its own greater than the sum of the powers of all the parts. In every living body this is true. The life of the whole is more than the com bined life of the parts, provided each part contributes its share. But if any part does not contribute its full share, then the life and strength of the whole is less even than the contributions of the faithful parts. For the infidelity or delinquency of one part not only sub tracts the contribution of that one part but destroys the organic unity of the whole and weakens and .depreciates the co-operation and combination of the rest. It yere better that there were no such faithless parts at all and that the whole body "should be free to try to organize a new life without it. It is undoubtedly true that a co operation of Christian Endeavorers has not only developed the Christian Endeavor movement, but has been a great blessing to the world. When young people have combined to build a local union that local union has re turned a blessing to each of those who helped to build it. The State Unions can better appor tion the projected work which their ambitions and desires lead them to perform. Co-operation in the State un ions enables them to import experienc ed teachers and helpers who can plant suggestions in the minds of the rep resentatives throughout the State. Who daxe calculate the value and effect of -the National Union? Great men have spoken with great power to great gatherings of young people with great effect. These great conventions are enthusiasm builders, and enthusi asm is worth the price at any cost. The expense account when measured with the benefits which acci-ue from conventions is small in comparison with the outcome. On the 25th anni versary of the Christian Endeavor movement some of the greatest men of this nation and other nations wrote letters of congratulation, which show ed its far-reaching power and influ ence. If these benefits are1 possibilities, then we are responsible for them; and we should not be content until they are realized.- What one can do he ought to do and thu3 a reasonable pos sibility becomes an obligation. An ob ligation is a debt; and a debt ought to be paid. Unions are the embodiment of union. Our responsibility for them is respon sibility for the spirit of unity. They are valuable because they express this spirit and also because they foster it. They provide acquaintances and reveal common aims and purposes. They show us how much we have in sym pathy with one another and how much more we can accomplish unitedly. They give us new ideas and plans and show us that things can be done from which we had flinched. M If we cannot allow our Lord fully to . , ; .
