Show womax WOMAN V AND asb hen IIER MISSION cooperative CO OPERATIVE VE stores have sprung into existence in almost every place throughout the territory where a store is needed the idea of having such institutions has been eagerly seized by the people and they meet with almost universal favor so far they have been successful and if they are managed with honesty and care and upon the principle of the motto that we see posted up in many of them throughout the country pay today to day trust to merrow they will continue to be so during the recent visit of president young and company to the southern settlements the policy of distributing the shares among the poorer classes and not suffering the stock to be concentrated in the bands hands of a few men was urged upon the people the ladies were also recommended to take stock in these stores and in many places they have done so to a considerable extent the plan of enlisting the influence of the women on behalf of these stores we think an excellent one let every female in the territory have an interest in these stores and the trade will flow as naturally to them as water downhill and if success depends upon patronage it will be insured to them for they will get all the trade in this city many of the female relief belief societies of the various wards have taken stock in the operative cooperative co institutions this is well but it is not sufficient that they should be interested collectively the societies should use their influence with their own members and with those of their sex who may not be members to take stock individually in iq these stores if the amount in their hands be ever so small let it be deposited in the ward store to their credit and they will then have a direct direel interest in keeping the trade in in that channel and if they suffer their means to remain their interest in the concern and its success will grow as their profits increase should the they y not have any money moneys at their control there are but few men in in our community who would refuse to give their wives and daughters the needed amount to invest in this manner women can wield a most potent influence in these matters and it would be folly to ignore the fact with woman to aid in the great cause of reform what wonderful changes can be effect effected ecil eoll without her aid how slow the progress give her responsibility and she will prove that she is capable of great things but deprive her of opportunities make a doll of her leave her nothing to occupy her mind but the reading of novels gossip the fashions and all the frivolity of this frivolous age and her influence is lost and instead of being a help meet toman to man as originally intended she becomes a drag and an encumbrance such women may answer in other places and among other people but they would be out of f place here the more the subject ot of womans comans duties and influence is reflected upon the more important does it become the organisation organization of female relief belief societies was a most timely movement and if the gentler sex will identify themselves with them and seek to promote the objects for which they were organized an incalculable amount of good cau eau be accomplished complis hed we were much impressed with the remarks of president young on this topic to the female relief belief society of beaver among the other duties which he hoped to see them yet attend to was that of teaching y young oung ladies to be good housewives qualifications which are very rare in these days yet indispensably necessary to happiness especially in married life here is a field of usefulness in which the wise matrons matrona of our territory can labor with advantage to themselves and great profit to the community they can ean increase the comfort and happiness of the peo pie to a wonderful devoting attention to this subject he who said that cleanliness was next to godliness might with truth have said that it was wag apart a part of godliness cleanliness among the latter day saints should be universal for no men and women who are uncleanly in their persons and their houses can be saints in the true sense of the tho word andee and we firmly believe that a man mau who Is habitually compelled to eat badly cooked food served up in slovenly style cannot be so faith fajth fula fala man so pleasant a companion so good tempered a husband as he would be if his victuals were properly cooked and served up tastefully he is apt to become dyspeptic every woman in our community whatever her station should possess the art of making food who wholesome loome palatable and nutritious she should be able to compete with the physician in cures and surpass him in the prevention of disease A goodwell cooked meal not a gluttonous feast is a mighty it brightens the faculties helps the healt health hand and produces good temper it would be interesting to know how many cases wives against their are traceable to the uncleanly habits and wretched cookery in the making of bread without alluding to other articles of diet there is widespread wide spread ignorance A female belief relief society that would teach the women of a settlement how to make good bread and to dispense with the health destroying practice of making hot heavy eavy biscuits would contribute materially t teri terl er ally aily to 0 the health and happiness of t the e people A visible improvement in th these ese respects would soon be perceptible b le if it women knew how much of human health and happiness depends on good digestion they would never rest until hey they had acquired the art of render ing food tender wholesome and eay easy of digestion young ladies who are in in possession of this art are far more mare likely to secure and retain the respect and love of husbands when they get them than if they were fully conversant with the round af accomplishments and yet incapable of serving up a good meal before marriage love answers very ve well weil as food in some cases but after that happy event so methin something something more ore substantial has haa to be provided provided ethe the heart has had llad its turn and the stomach steps forward and asserts its claims and it will not be disregarded we trust the female relief belief society will seethe beethe see bee the importance of this subject and and as soon as practicable enter tte upon u 0 n the teaching of housewifery house to the young ladies of this territory in this and in many other ways which will readily suggest themselves to them as they proceed they can render efficient service and accomplish a vast amount of real good |
