The Broad Ax

THE BROAD AX HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY Hon. Roger C. Sullivan, with the Aid of The Broad Ax--in Spite of the Fact that He was Bitterly Opposed by President Woodrow Wilson, Who Withheld All Federal Patronage from Him; Col. Wm. Jennings Bryan, Secretary of State, Who Endeavored to Dictate to the People of Illinois Whom They Should Nominate for United States Senator; Gov. Edward F. Dunne, Mayor Carter H. Harrison, The Hon. James Hamilton Lewis and the Hon. William L. O'Connell --Won the Nomination at the Primaries Wednesday, September 9th, for United States Senator from Illinois HIS MAJORITY OVER THE HON. LAWRENCE B. STRINGER WHO OWES HIS POLITICAL PROMINENCE TO MR. SULLIVAN, WILL RANGE FROM SIXTY-FIVE TO HIGHTY-FIVE THOUSAND MAJORITY AND POSSIBLY MORE. HE CARRIED EVERY WARD IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO, EVEN THE PRECINCTS WHEREIN MAYOR CARTER H. HARRISON AND THE HON. EDWARD P. DUNNE RESIDE. HIS GREAT VICTORY MEANS THAT THE "MAN OF DESTINY" WILL BE DRIVEN OUT OF THE CITY HALL IN 1815; THAT THE HON. ROBERT M. SWEITZER MAY BE BROUGHT FORWARD TO SUCCEED HIM; THAT GOVERNOR EDWARD P. DUNNE AND HIS CHIEF MOURNERS ARE POLITICALLY DEAD; THAT HE NEVER CAN SUCCEED HIMSELF AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF ILLINOIS. THE GREAT TIDAL WAVE OF DEMOCRACY IN FAVOR OF THE NOMINATION OF MR. SULLIVAN ROLLED ON FROM CAIRO TO THE NORTHERN BOUNDARIES OF ILLINOIS, ENGULFING AND TRAMPLING DOWN ALL OPPOSITION TO HIS ONWARD MARCH. IT SWEPT OR BUSHED THROUGH ALL THE COUNTIES AND THE TWENTY-FIVE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS, CARRYING ALL OF THEM EXCEPTING TWO OR THREE. HON. JOHN E. TRAEGEE WON THE NOMINATION FOR SHERIFF OF COOK COUNTY, HENRY STUCKART FOR TREASURER, ROBERT M. SWEITZER FOR COUNTY CLERK, JOHN A. CERVENKA FOR CLERK OF THE PROBATE COURT, HENRY HORNER, JUDGE OF THE PROBATE COURT, FRANK J. WALSH, OLERK OF THE CRIMINAL COURT, EDWARD J. TOBIN, SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS, FRANK S. BYAN, MEMBER BOARD OF REVIEW. TO THE REGRET OF HIS MANY FRIENDS, JUDGE JOHN E. OWENS PELL ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BREAST WORKS IN HIS RACE FOR RE-NOMINATION FOR JUDGE OF THE COUNTY COURT—JUDGE THOMAS F. SOULY COMING IN UNDER THE WIRE AHEAD OF HIM. HIS MAJORITY WILL BE BE TWEEN TWELVE AND FIFTEEN HUNDRED AND THERE WILL BE NO CONTEST ON THE PART OF JUDGE OWENS. STATE SENATOR SAMUEL A. ETTELSON EASILY WON HIS RE-NOMINATION IN THE THIRD SENATORIAL DISTRICT; MAJOR ROBERT E. JACKSON OUTDISTANCED ALL THE CANDIDATES IN THAT DISTRICT HAVING ALMOST THREE THOUSAND MAJORITY AT HIS BACK. ALDERMAN GEORGE F. HARDING, WILLIAM M. BRINKMAN AND A. H. ROBERTS WALKED AWAY WITH THE HONORS IN THE FIRST SENATORIAL DISTRICT. STATE SENATOR P. P. BRADY GOING DOWN TO DEFEAT BEFORE THE POPULAR ALDERMAN. HON. ANDREW RUSSELL CAPTURED THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION POE STATE TREASURER OF ILLINOIS Wednesday evening, September 9th, at five o'clock the curtain was rung down on the greatest political contest ever waged within the state of Illinois. It was the long to be remembered contest between the Hon. Roger C. Sullivan and the Hon. Lawrence B. Stringer for the nomination for United States Senator from Illinois and as it had been freely predicted in these columns on more than one occasion with the aid of The Broad Ax, Mr. Sullivan won over his opponent with both hands down, in spite of the opposition of President Woodrow Wilson, who attempted to put Mr. Sullivan out of the running by withholding all federal patronage from him. Col. William Jennings Bryan, Secretary of State, who endeavored to dictate to the people of this state whom they should or should not select for United States Senator, Governor Edward F. Dunne, Mayor Carter H. Harrison, the Hon. James Hamilton Lewis and the Hon. William L. O'Connell. and prominence to Mr. Sullivan, will be in the neighborhood of from sixty-five to eighty-five thousand majority and possibly more. Without the slightest effort on his part he easily carried every ward in the city of Chicago, including the precincts wherein Mayor Carter H. Harrison and the Hon. Edward F. Dunne reside. His signal or remarkable triumphal victory is something wonderful to contemplate and after the smoke of the battle royal has cleared away his victory simply means that "the man of Destiny" will be driven out of the city hall at the April election in 1915, that the Hon. Robert M. Switter may be brought forward to succeed him—that Governor Edward F. Dunne and his chief mourners are dead cocks in the pit—that he never can succeed himself as the chief executive of Illinois. That great tidal wave of Democracy in favor of the nomination of Mr. Sullivan rolled on from Cairo, the extreme southern end of the state, to its north- "Available returns indicate that I have been given the Democratic nomination for United States senator by a convincing vote. The returns disclose that I have received a majority vote outside of Cook county as well as a great majority here. "My feeling is one of gratitude to the people who have shown their faith in me by their votes. I do not look upon my success as a personal triumph. Rather I regard it as a call to public service, a commission from the Democrats of Illinois to make a good fight in behalf of the policies of President Wilson, and in behalf of a united, aggressive, and constructive Democracy. Soon Campaign Justified. "The result of the primary seems to me to be complete justification of the campaign I made. It was the most direct appeal to the people that I knew how to make. I made no appeal to prejudice, to clam, or to locality. And one of the things in which I took the most satisfaction is that no bitterness can With the combined or the united forces on the part of all of these just mentioned, they were nothing more than so much soft clay in the hands of the potter and their weak opposition to Mr. Sullivan simply added to his strength and popularity. At this writing it seems that his great majority over the Hon. Lawrence B. Stringer, who owes his political power and prominence to Mr. Sullivan, will be in the neighborhood of from sixty-five to eighty-five thousand majority and possibly more. Without the slightest effort on his part he easily carried every ward in the city of Chicago, including the precincts wherein Mayor Carter H. Harrison and the Hon. Edward F. Dunne reside. His signal or remarkable triumphal victory is something wonderful to contemplate and after the smoke of the battle royal has cleared away his victory simply means that "the man of Destiny" will be driven out of the city hall at the April election in 1915, that the Hon. Robert M. Sweitzer may be brought forward to succeed him—that Governor Edward F. Dunne and his chief mourners are dead cocks in the pit—that he never can succeed himself as the chief executive of Illinois. That great tidal wave of Democracy in favor of the nomination of Mr. Sullivan rolled on from Gairo, the extreme southern end of the state, to its northern boundaries, engulfing and trapping down all opposition to his onward march through the state from end to end. Like a mighty and over-powering hurricane it swept through all the counties and the 25 congressional districts, carrying all of them excepting two or three. On being assured of his nomination lets on Wednesday evening Mr. Sullivan issued the following statement: "Available returns indicate that I have been given the Democratic nomination for United States senator by a convincing vote. The returns disclose that I have received a majority vote outside of Cook county as well as a great majority here. "My feeling is one of gratitude to the people who have shown their faith in me by their votes. I do not look upon my success as a personal triumph. Rather I regard it as a call to public service, a commission from the Democrats of Illinois to make a good fight in behalf of the policies of President Wilson, and in behalf of a united, aggressive, and constructive Democracy. See Campaign Justified. "The result of the primary seems to me to be complete justification of the campaign I made. It was the most direct appeal to the people that I know how to make. I made no appeal to prejudice, to class, or to locality. And one of the things in which I took the most satisfaction is that no bitterness can come from my conduct at any time in the campaign." "My success in the primary is but preliminary to another content. I shall go again to the people, pledging them to use my best ability in their interests, in furthering the policies of President Wilson, and in upholding him in the serious times."—Roger O. Sullivan. The following are among the successful Democratic and Republican candidates who made home runs on the fateful Wednesday, September 29th: Hon John E. Traeger, for sheriff of Cook county; Henry Stuckart for treasurer; Hon. Robert M. Sweitzer, Clerk of the county court; Hon. John A. Cervenka, clerk of the probate court; Henry Horner, judge of the probate court; Frank J. Walsh, clerk of the criminal court, Edward J. Tobin, superintendent of schools; Frank S. Ryan, member of the board of review. Col Franklin A. Denison was also successful in race for county commissioner. KEEP THE CHILDREN CLEAN. Every child gets dirty. So do grown-ups for that matter. But most grownups do not have to be told to wash their faces, comb their hair and keep themselves clean. Children not only have to be told to do the things that make for bodily neatness and cleanliness, but they must be continually looked after to see that they do not neglect these important matters of personal hygiene. All mothers know these common failings and are governed accordingly; they know that eternal watchfulness is the prime essential in everything that pertains to the good health and right habits of their children. But not all mothers know or fully understand the need of special care and watchfulness on their part during the months when the schools are in session and all the children of school age are brought into daily contact in the schoolrooms and playgrounds of the city. Many of the diseases so common to child life are contracted in the schoolroom. During the time the schools are in session these are prevalent; epidemics of them do not occur in vacation time; on the contrary, it is then that they reach their lowest obb. But when the schools reopen in September it is only a short time before there is a noticeable rise in both the case rate and the deathrate of the communicable diseases. Parents can do much toward promoting community health by keeping the most careful watch over the health of their own children. The slight sore throat, a little rise in temperature, a slight eruption on the body, are indications of possible, even probable danger, and should not be neglected. It is far better to call your family doctor and be safe than it is to do your own doctoring, and be sorry. Then, too, children while in school can bring things home that are not desirable for them to have, besides disease. Others among these are vermin, many kinds. Sometimes it may happen that the presence of the housewife's horror, the elusive bedding, is traceable back to the cloakroom at the school your children attend. More often, when it is discovered that Johnny or Mary, M. J. or both, are caught vigorously and persistently scratching their heads, mother declares with much emphasis that she knows "Thay got 'em at school." And mother is right every time. Nothing is more certain than the fact that out of a thousand or more children from several hundred homes, there will be some that are not free from vermin of some kind, and generally the type that infect the head are found. If only every mother would give her children a careful go over before the schools open in September, it would be a fine thing; for certainly it would be a great help in keeping the children clean, to have them begin the school year free from disease or pests of any kind. Here is the formula that the Department of Health recommends: To Free the Hair from Vermin. Take kerosene and sweet oil, one-half pint each. Mix the kerosene and sweet oil, and rub the mixture well into the scalp. Then with a piece of muslin cover the hair and fasten it above the head. Do not permit the child to approach a lighted gas jet or flame of any kind. In the morning wash the scalp well with soap and hot water, then wet the hair with hot vinegar. After which use a fine-toothed comb wet in hot vinegar to remove "nita." Dry hair with a towel before going out. Repeat this two or three nights.

STRONG POLITICAL AGENCY. National Independent Organization to Mold Convention in New York. Hold Convention in New York. The Rev. Byron Gunner, president of the National Independent Political league, in his final message to the members of the organization regarding the coming annual meeting, says: "Dear Fellow Comrades-The preliminary call for the seventh annual meeting of the National Independent Political league has already been published. The call, however, was issued before the exact date and place for the meeting could be determined. Now that it is settled as to when and where we shall convene it remains only to announce the same and to add a brief word of earnest appeal to our people in all sections of the United States to awake and to get together in self defense of their own most vital civil, social and political interests. "The meeting will be held in the Bethel church, New York city, from Sept. 7 to 9, inclusive. "We feel peculiarly fortunate in being able to announce that the seventh annual meeting of the N. I. P. L. is to be held in New York city in the new edifice of the Bethel A. M. E. church, of which the Rev. B. W. Arnett, D. D., is pastor. We are to meet on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the 7th, 8th and 9th. just previous to the great national Baptist convention to be held in the city of Philadelphia. "The determined purpose of the league is to assist in leading our Negro-American population out of political bondage, to wage perpetual and eternal war against any and all kinds of segregation based on race or color and to restore the federal franchise to our oppressed brethren in the southern states. These needed reforms cannot, we believe, be successfully accomplished for us by our friends of other races. While we appreciate their interest and welcome their assistance, we know that 'they who would be free must themselves strike the blow.' We must as a fundamental factor in the struggle produce and follow our own leaders, and we must get together and work and fight for ourselves or we can never be free. "At any necessary cost and sacrifice we must educate the masses of our people to become an independent, race loving people. The impression that has been deliberately built up and published worldwide that we are a child race and therefore are not to be dealt with as other races is a false claim that we must as a people blow to atoms. This false impression has been studiously disseminated throughout this and other civilized countries, taken up and expounded by teachers, editors and politicians everywhere. Such damaging impressions of our people should begin to stir us to action. "We therefore, call upon not only the members of the league, but upon all self respecting men and women of color to co-operate and join with us in our struggle for equal civil, social and political rights as American citizens. Come to our annual meeting, join the league or give it your moral and financial support. Organize branch leagues, plan to attend the meetings, assist financially and in every other way possible. Let all churches, lodges, civic, literary and equal rights societies send delegates, and let us demonstrate to the world that we are determined to become American freemen. "Yours for freedom. "BYRON GUNNER. President." CAPABLE BUSINESS WOMAN. What Miss Anna M. Vann Is Doing In the Newspaper Field. One of the most capable newspaper women connected with any of our many thrifty race journals is Miss Anna M. Vann, the traveling subscription agent for the Norfolk (Va.) Journal and Guide.

THIS luncheon is well balanced as to food values and is light and palatable. Buttermilk Muffins.—Take two cup- fuls of flour, a tablespoonful of sugar, half a teaspoonful of salt, half a teaspoonful of soda, a cupful of butterm- ilk and two tablespoonfuls of melted butter. Mix in the order given and beat thoroughly. Bake in a hot oven. Use For Cold Fish. Fish Omelet.—Take cold boiled white fish, four eggs, a little white sauce, a tablespoonful of milk or cream, an ounce and a half of butter and seasoning. Free the fish from all skin and bones, break into small flakes, melt a small piece of butter in a saucepan, add the fish, with salt and pepper and enough white sauce to moisten the fish. Keep it hot. Slightly beat the eggs, add the milk and season to taste. Melt an ounce of butter in an omelet pan, pour in the eggs, stir over a hot fire till the mixture begins to set, then shake well. Shape it in oval form, put the prepared fish in the middle and fold in the ends. Surprise Salad--Take peelings from tomatoes of uniform size, scald and set on ice until cold. Scoop the inside from the tomatoes, leaving a thick shell. With half the pulp mix a few chopped walnuts and half as much chopped celery as you have pulp. Season with salt and pepper to taste and a little sugar. Return the mixture to the tomato shell and set on the ice to get cold before serving on crisp lettuce leaves with mayonnaise. A Cold Dessert. Orange and Nut Glace.—Put two cupfuls of sugar and one cupful of cold water in a saucepan over the fire. Cook carefully until the sirup spike a thread. Beat the yolks of six eggs very light; pour the sirup upon them slowly, beating all the while. Return to the fire and cook for one minute. Strain into a bowl and beat until cold. Add a teaspoonful of vanilla, one-fourth of a cupful of orange juice and very finely chopped nuts if desired. Turn the mixture into a freezer, and when thoroughly chilled add a pint of cream whipped to a stiff, dry froth; beat well. Fill paper boxes; sprinkle with chopped nuts or grated macaroons; pack and freeze. A Convenient Method. A Convenient Method. Piccadilly Without Cooking.—Take one large head of cabbage and half a peck of green tomatoes, two quarts of ripe tomatoes, six onions, six green peppers, two red peppers, half a cupful of grated horseradish, half a teaspoonful of black pepper, an even teaspoonful of mustard, an ounce of white mustard seed, an ounce of celery seed, a tablespoonful of ground mace, a gill of Dutch mustard and either a pint and a half or two quarts of sugar, or even more if a very sweet pickle is wanted. Pack all the peppers, onions, tomatoes and cabbage, after chopping them fine, in layers, in a coarse bag, with salt between the layers. Place the bag upon a rack with a big bowl beneath to catch the droppings. Place a weight over the bag and let stand overnight. In the morning the vegetables in the bag will be quite dry. To them add the ground pepper, the mustard, mustard seed, celery seed and other seasonings. Add the sugar last of all, tasting to see how much is required. Put the chowchow into star-shaped stone jars and cover it with cold vinegar. Divide the horseradish among the jars just before putting on the covers. Annaw Thompson. The KITCHEN CUPBOARD CANNING VEGETABLES WHEN vegetables are cheap and abundant they may be canned for winter use. The process is not a difficult one, and, thanks to it, the housewife may be assured of pure canned goods at a minimum of cost. An Easy Method. Canned Beans. — Butter, wax and string beans may be put up in this way. Beans must be tender. Cut off stem of the beans, but do not break. Select wide mouthed jars. Wash beans in cold water. Pack into jars, placing the beans full length in jar. For a quart jar add one teaspoonful of table salt. Fill jar with cold water nearly full, leaving about one-quarter to one-half inch for steam, so as not to break jar. Put on cover, put in washboiler, having cold water to neck of jar, and boil between two hours and a half and three hours. Place strips of wood in bottom of boiler under jars. Jars must be air tight. Preserving the Flavor. Canned Beets—Select small, perfect beets, wash carefully without brushing or cutting, cover with cold water and cook until tender. When tender turn off the hot water and pour on cold. Skin the beets, using the fingers to slip off the skin, and not a knife and fork. Then pack carefully in sterilized jars and cover with very salty water. When quite cold set the jars in a bolder of cold water to cover three-fourths of the height, boil an hour, nil up to the brim with boiling salted water, adjust rubber and top and screw tight. When quite cold set away in a cool, dry place, protecting from the light. Economizing For Winter. Canned Green Peas. — Be sure the peas are fresh and tender. Pack into quart jars and pour over them salt water, allowing a teaspoonful of salt to three-quarters of a pint of warm water for each quart jar. Adjust the lids of the jars without the rubbers part way and set on a rack in the bottom of a large kettle or boiler, separating the cans by cloths, ropes or wipes of hay, so that they do not touch. Pour in cold or lukewarm water, never hot, allowing the water to cover the jars three-quarters of height. Put on cover of boiler and steam three hours. Take out the jars one by one, fill to overflowing with more of the salt water kept hot for this purpose, put on the rubber and top and screw slowly air tight. Put back in boiler, adding more water, enough to immerse the jars this time. Steam one hour more, lift out and set on thickly folded paper or a board out of a draft and allow them to cool, screwing the lid tighter if possible. When quite cold wrap in coarse brown paper and set in a cool, dark place. PICCALILLIS. THESE popular relishes may be now put away by the housewife. There are various ways of making them and various ingredients for their composition. They are inexpensive and useful. Popular Relishes Green Tomato Piccalilli.—Take one peck of green tomatoes, one-half peck of onions sliced, one cauliflower and one peck of small cucumbers. Let stand in salt and water twenty-four hours, drain and put in a kettle with a cupful of grated horseradish, one ounce of turmeric, one ounce of whole cloves, one-fourth pound whole pepper, one ounce of cinnamon, one pound of white mustard seed and one pound of English mustard. Cover with cold vinegar, put on to cook and when the mixture comes to a boil cook it a quarter of an hour. Seal while hot. Cucumber Piccalillii—Take one peck ripe cucumbers, one-half teacupful salt, two green peppers, six onions and spices if you like. Peel and chop the cucumbers, using the coarsest knife of the chopper. Put in a strainer, cover with salt and press to get the water out. Then add peppers and onions, chopped fine. Put in kettle, cover with vinaigar and cook until soft. Kitchen Kinks Intelligent Use of Butter. It is almost universally admitted that vegetables require the addition of fat in order that they may be at their best, and there is no fat which is so suitable as butter for the majority of vegetables, judged by the character of the dish and also by its flavor. The KITCHEN CUPBOARD WHAT TO EAT. DINNER MENU. Soup. Creamed Parsnips. Braised Lamb Chops. Nut and Potato Croquette. Salad in Aspic Jelly. Baked Pudding. Coffee. A WELL balanced meal is lowing the chops being Some housekeepers have a way of looking upon the use of butter, milk and cream in the preparation of vegetables, soups and sauces as if these ingredients were simply "luxuries" and not food essentials. But it should be remembered that these articles are valuable foods and naturally increase the food value of the dish of which they form a part. They are all wholesome foods, and, although generally more expensive than the vegetable foods with which they are combined, their use in reasonable quantities is certainly to be recommended. Increasing the cost of the dish by the free use of butter, cream, etc., may, after all, be economy if the increase is intelligently made, and the vegetable soups and purées made richer as well as more appetizing by the addition of butter or cream combined with smaller quantities of meat. Preserved Ginger Those people who like it should keep a few jars of preserved ginger on hand. Now is the time to buy the ginger root. Young roots are put into a vessel and kept at the scalding point until tender, when they should be peeled in cold water. Make a thin sirup and pour it over the ginger and allow it to remain for five days. Then place the ginger in the jars for keeping and enrich the sirup by the addition of sugar. Boll thoroughly and pour over the ginger. It is then ready for sealing. Ginger pears are novel. The pears should be ripe. Peel them and remove the cores, then cut into thin slices. To every four pounds of pears allow the juice of two large lemons, three and one-half pounds of sugar, four ounces of ginger root shaved fine and one gill of water. Dissolve the sugar, then drop in the pears, ginger and lemon juice and cook for an hour very slowly. Place in the cans and seal when hot. Blanched Vegetables: Green string beans, onions, full grown lima beans and other green garden vegetables are made more delicate and palatable for many by blanching them, to remove the strong or acrid flavor, before cooking them. This is done by dropping the prepared vegetables into a saucepan well filled with boiling water and salted, immediately brought back to boiling point and boiled continuously from five to twenty minutes, according to the kind and condition of the vegetable. The cover, if used at all, should only partially cover the saucepan. The blanched vegetables must not stand in this water. If not convenient to finish cooking them at once, drain them from the hot water, throw into cold water to cool at once; then drain again and set in a cool place covered with a piece of cheesecloth until ready to finish the cooking. Fruit Sirups To make fruit sirups broil the fruit till soft and let it drip through a jelly bag. Put juice in a preserving kettle, boll and skim it, add a pint of sugar to each quart of juice, boll it five minutes, and skim. Have ready bottles sterilized by putting them in cool water brought to a boll. Fill them with the sirup and stand them in pans of water in the oven for ten minutes. Have boiling juice ready, fill the bottles, put in corks that have been in boiling water, and coat the corks with paraffin. Stand the bottles where no draft can strike them till cool; keep them in a cool, dark place. Dutch Butter Cakes Dutch butter cakes are delicious They are made as follows: Take one half pound butter, three cupuples flour, one-half pound brown sugar, a heap ing teaspoonful baking powder, one fourth pound sweet almonds and yolks of one egg, cut into small pieces. Mix butter and sugar until soft; add all other ingredients, mix thoroughly with hands until they stick together; form into cakes and brush each with white of egg. Bake in very hot oven; not too brown, as otherwise butter becomes too dry. How to Can Beetle. Wash young beets, and leave on an inch of the stems. Boil them till tender, drop them in cold water then rub off the skin, pack them tightly in jars, set these on a rack, fill the jars to overflowing with boiling water, and add a teaspoonful of salt to each jar. Put on rubbers and covers loosely, set the jars in a kettle of water that partly covers them, and boil them for three quarters of an hour. Then tighten the covers and let them cool in the kettle. Carrots may be canned in the same way. Crisp Cabbage To treat cabbage in order to have it retain all its fresh, crisp, clean qualities for a long time, strip off the root and old outside leaves clear down to a compact head. Take two or three thicknesses of clean newspapers and wrap each cabbage in a tight, neat little bundle. Place in a box or barrel. The KITCHEN CUPBOARD DINNER MENU. Soup. Creamed Parsnips.

Soup Without Meat—Take one cupful of pearl barley, three or four potatoes cut fine, two or three onions, celery or any other vegetable that is at hand and one can of tomatoes. Cook slowly, the fireless cooker being best. Barley should soak overnight and then cook two or three hours before adding oti vegetables. Strain when done anna add a cupful of cream or milk. The pulp can be used with a can of corned beef for hash for luncheon next day. Baked Vegetables. Cucumbers Stuffed With Meat—Take four medium sized cucumbers, peel and cut in two lengthwise, removing seeds.

CEBVENKA [Name] PAGE FOUR Democratic candidate for re-election HON. JOHN NEGBOES IN THE WARS WITH ENGLAND. In Query No. 4008, "Rex," Nashville, Tenn., asks if there were Negro soldiers in the Revolutionary War, and if any fought under Jackson at New Orleans. The following may be of interest to your correspondent: There were Negro soldiers in both our wars with Great Britain. in 1778 J. M. Varnumn, a Rhode Island colonel, advocated the raising in that colony of a battalion of Negroes, and at his instance the Legislature passed an act offering freedom to all slaves that should enlist in the army. There were a number of Negro soldiers at the battle of Bunker Hill. When on the night of July 10, 1777, Captain William Barton, of Rhode Island, set out to capture the British General, Prescott, in a farm house between Newport and Bristol Ferry—and succeeded—it was a Negro in his party who broke open the door of Prescott's room. At the battle of Bunker Hill General Pitcariu, of the British army, was mortally wounded by a Negro in the last volley fired by the Americans. John Laurent urged his father, the South Carolina statesman, to employ Negroes in the Revolutionary army of the South, but the latter opposed it in a letter that is still extant, although during the South Carolina war with the Yemasse Indians, 400 slaves had been armed by the Whites to aid in defending the colony. I cannot say as to whether there were any Negro troops under Jackson at New Orleans or not. W. C. Nell, a Negro author of Boston, a clerk in the post office there in 1861, and the first of his race to hold a post under the United States Government—published a volume entitled "Services of Colored Americans in the Wars of 1776-1812." In 1855 he also published "Colored Patriots of the American Revolution," with an introduction by Mrs. Stowe. By the way, I believe two of the deserters taken from the American ship, "Chesapeake," by the "Leopard," in 1807, were Negroes—Nashville American. INDIANS OF THE MORMON FAITH In 1884 Mormon missionaries from Utah came to the Catawba Indian reservation in South Carolina and converted a number of Indians. As soon as it was known among the surrounding Whites that Mormon elders were at work among the Indians they began to threaten them. The elders failed to move out, saying that they were not afraid to die because they believed that they were sent to be true prophets of God. The threats made by the Whites were carried out and the two elders were put to death by a large mob. The death of the brave and beloved elders only caused the Indians to become firmer believers in the Mormon faith. Two or three weeks after the mobbing, two more elders appeared on the reservation, and to this day two elders are always there.—Southern Workman. We are admonished to love our enemies, but that doesn't mean that we should forget our friends. Save your kittens. The price of furs is expected to advance between 20 and 40 per cent because of the war. What does a man's bravery amount to when he is in front of a machine gun that is working overtime? It may be questionable statesmanship, but the easiest way to stop a little war is to start a big one. A government bulletin warns the public against anti-fat cures. There seems to be no specific for fatness or leanness. A busy tongue and busy band go together. Judge a woman by her queen by his answers. Among the vultures of war noncombatant avarice. An ounce of good judgment a pound of good nerve. Modern battleships do not suit they either sink or fight. When flattery meets vanity body is going to be fooled. Some people are too dull to an undesirable acquaintance. When boggled on the name of a Russian city, all the operator has to do is throw a chunk of the alphabet in backward The doctors who have conquered nearly every known form of disease admit they can do nothing to allay the war fever. It is said that laughter will cure indigestion, but the trouble is when a man has indigestion he doesn't feel like laughing. A Canadian preacher thinks the time is near when there will be no liars. When that time comes obituaries will be much shorter than they are now. Many a man is going through life pushing a wheelbarrow loaded with imaginary troubles and wondering why he can't get ahead of other men. After he recovers a man boasts about how high his fever went. His temperature was 10 degrees higher than anybody else's that ever survived. Still, the money that American tourists in Europe could not spend because no one would take it can be usefully spent here. Some of them may be able to do their Christmas shopping with it. An aged offender who has tried all forms of punishment told a British court that he prefers penal servitude. It's a comfort to have a settled outlook, even in jail. Disease breeds ignorance, immorality and strife. An old bachelor says a marriage certificate is a noose paper. Smear yourself with honey and you will be devoured by flies. False friends are like your shadow—only with you in sunshine. The quality of our work depends upon the quality of our lives. War never helps anybody except the people who publish geographies. The one man who is always pretty sure of a job is the bill collector. If you would be happy don't imagine that there's a secret of happiness. Many a nervous woman has solved the problem of perpetual emotion. Whoever settles this row gets the Nobel peace prize—and deserves it. Why is it that in sieges churches and cathedrals are always destroyed? Everybody likes the person who knows how to make a long story short. References to the "gay capitals of Europe" are sadly out of place just now. Charity may cover a multitude of sins, but there are several still uncovered. Some fools prove it by never changing their minds, others by changing too often. The millennium is a time when family jars will be used in preserving peace. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to declare a sixty days' moratorium on your debts? When your house is on fire you don't stop to filter the water which you pour upon it. One country is keeping perfectly cool in this crisis, and that happy land is Iceland. The inhabitants of Mars will be glad to know that the earth has the conflict localized. Troubles are like eggs; the more you brood over them the more likely they are to hatch. Don't despise the little things. "If" is a mighty small word, but it causes a lot of trouble. The man who always makes a bluff at hustling usually succeeds in making everybody tired. Seeing is believing, so perhaps it is just as well that we can't see ourselves as others see us. Young Mr. Alfonso, king of Spain, is said to be as happy and care free as a king these days. If we could see ourselves as others see us few men would spend any money for photographs. Dying for one's country is all right, but how would you like to have to die for five or six countries? A busy tongue and busy bands rarely go together. Judge a woman by her questions, a man by his answers. Among the vultures of war count in noncombatant avarice. An ounce of good judgment is worth a pound of good nerve. Modern battleships do not surrender; they either sink or fight. When flattery meets vanity somebody is going to be fooled. Some people are too dull to cut even an undesirable acquaintance. If a woman declines to tell her age give her time. Time will tell. Things don't turn up in this world until somebody turns them up. It's a wise plan not to take even advice unless it belongs to you. Our army worm is a trifling pest beside the army worm of Europe. Every nation would like to mediate if the other fellow would begin. A five dollar bill in any husband's vest pocket is contraband of war. It has been a lucky year for those who decided to "see America first." A martyr is a man who got real sick and is accused of having been drunk. There is a turning point in every man's career—even if he isn't a crank. Mexican names gave pause enough. But what of Grkovich, Sarajevo and Lieschnitza? She who marries a man because she is sorry for him is apt to be sorry for herself later. The eternal fitness of things seems to be a compound of an immense number of misfits. There are two classes of optimists—the good natured do-nothings and the hard workers. Europe at the present writing resembles a futurist painting of a house falling downstairs. Another of the horrors of war! The yacht races for the America's cup are to be postponed. Once there was a country called Mexico, where people were fighting. What became of it? It's getting so that a nation has to fight in order to enjoy the privilege of not fighting these days. The well known dove of peace is the latest candidate for admission to the Enforced Idleness club. Mammoth cave and Niagara Falls will be good enough for American honeymooners this year. If Europe were an individual it would promptly be sent to the psychopathic ward for observation. When Jack and Jill go up the hill And then come down engaged, No wonder when she breaks her troth That Jack should be enraged; He starts a damage suit to find A moratorium she has signed.

In Spite of Himself. In Denver they tell of a young Britisher who will some day inherit a title, and who not long ago married the daughter of a supposedly wealthy man of that town. A month, or so after the marriage the father-in-law took the husband aside. "I am ruined!" he exclaimed. "Practically every cent is gone!" The Briton was a good loser, however, for he gave vent to a long, low whistle and exclaimed with a little laugh: "By George! Then I did marry for love, after all."—Harper's Magazine. Climatology.

MADDEN SETS FORTH HIS REASONS WHY HE FAILED TO COME TO CHICAGO DURING THE PRIMARY CONTEST IN THIS CITY. Washington, D. C., Sept. 8, 1914. Dear Oscar:—Several friends have urged me to come to Chicago for the primaries, saying it would be better for my political future. I am sorry I cannot come, but this is a time in the life of the National when personal political advantage should be forgotten and thought given only to the needs of the country. I must therefore forego every personal consideration and think alone of the country's good. In ordinary circumstances, I should of course come home and join my friends in whatever controversy they might be engaged, but in the present world crisis, calling for the best there is in every man charged with official responsibility my place is here. I cannot allow my desire for re-election to divert me from the responsible duties which the present state of unrest abroad has brought upon me. Better far be defeated than to evade such responsibilities at a time like this. Mounds the wide awake little town of Southern Illinois, prides herself on her representative citizens in nearly every avenue of life. They have the largest and most prosperous grocery store in the state. With several small stores doing a very good business. Two Colored Justices of the peace, in the persons of R. W. England and Henry Williams. Mr. N. M. Raterree, the constable, collector and notary public. Two members of the Board of Education, namely, John Howard and Jerry Thompson. L. W. Washington, our energetic letter carrier. The Douglas School opened Sept. 7. The faculty is namely, Prof. O. L. Mitchell, principal of the high school, Prof. Milton Crawford, principal of the grammar school. The Misses McCooke, HON. JOHN B. TRABGER. HON. JOHN E. TRARGER. German-American citizen and Democratic candidate for Sheriff of Cook County. The country expects every man here to do his duty without fear of personal consequences, and I shall perform mine now no matter what the future may have in store for me. The country is paramount to all else. The man in official life who neglects it is deserving of censure-party advantage and personal ambition must be subordinated. I would consider myself unworthy of the high place I hold if I did not consider my first obligation to remain here and aid in every way within my power to carry America safely through the present crisis—so that when the time comes this country may be the instrumentality through which lasting place and the blessings of liberty may be restored throughout the world, our people take the place which God has ordained they shall occupy as directors in all things calculated to make the world better, friends dearer, home purer, peace more enduring, men less warlike, humanity more God fearing and out of all our efforts let us hope and pray there may arise a universal brotherhood whose motto shall be peace and good will among men. Mosbey, Howard and Woodson, the grades. Mounds has quite a few young men investing in real estate, namely, Mr. Nute Soffner has several valuable pieces of property, Mr. John McDavid, L. W. Washington, Dr. S. T. Sealy, Chanbliss brothers, Mr. Napolien Umble, Mr. Thomas Coss, and several others that will be mentioned later on. MEN'S CIVIC CLUB. Gentlemen, your attention is called to the Men's Civic Club which meets every Tuesday evening at 3005 State St., at 8 o'clock. Mr. W. D. Neighbors is president of this organization and he and his co-workers plan to make this club better than ever. He has associated with him some of the most prominent, intelligent and cultured men in the city. Drop in next Tuesday evening and you will be convinced that you ought to be a member. Most sincerely yours, Martin B. Madden THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, SEPTEMBER 18, 1914 The Negro Makes Good in Business. Spectacular Industrial Parade--A Splendid Showing--Boley, Negro Town, Visited--Negroes of West Make Fine Showing Muskogee, Oklahoma.—A spectacular industrial parade showing Negro progress and opportunity in Oklahoma; an attractive exhibition of fine corn, cotton, fruits and vegetables, together with specimens of oil and coal, the products of the tradesmens shops, and the display of manufactured articles, the hearty welcome of the best White people of Muskogee to enterprising Negroes; a ringing address from Dr. Booker T. Washington, telling his people "to get off the defensive;" a series of inspiring "struggle and success" stories; and, finally, a trip to Boley, the largest and most prosperous Negro town in the United States, by a party of four hundred Colored men and women—these were some of the striking phases of the fifteenth session of the National Negro Business League, which has just closed in Muskogee. The Negro's progress in fifty years was graphically shown by a series of floats giving vivid pictures and telling the thrilling story of his improved home life, his interest in farming, in church and Sunday school work, in growing corn, cotton, wheat, oats, vegetables and fruits, in mining, in developing oil and gas properties; storekeeping, and in stockraising. Thousands of White and Colored people watched for over an hour the miles of decorated floats, wagons, and carriages, as well as the fine looking horses and cattle. The verdict was- unanimous: If a handicapped people can do all this in a few years, in a new territory, where men must have in them the stuff of pioneers, what may not Negroes accomplish within the next fifty years, if they continue to work in peace and harmony by the side of their White neighbors and if White people will give the Negro a man's chance! The industrial parade was voted by the White Muskogeans as worthy of any race, anywhere. It showed how great an asset the Negro is when he goes quietly to work, developing the country's natural resources and cultivating the homely virtues of honesty, frugality, industry and cheerfulness. Some of the Eastern and Southern Negroes who had expected to find their Muskogee brothers and sisters living in huts and earning a bare living in the fields, were surprised and encouraged at every turn. "Get off the defensive and inaugurate an aggressive, a constructive, and a progressive policy in business, industry, education, moral and religious life." This was the keynote of Dr. Washington's address as president of the Negro Business League. As a clearing house of information and as a council meeting of peaceful, persistent, and earnest leaders who seek to stimulate race advancement through race love rather than to foster race hatred or bitterness, the League has served the whole country since its organization in Boston in 1900. Dr. Washington declared that, "If there is any place where the Negro has a chance to show his mettle it is in the United States." He emphasized the responsibility that rests upon Negroes everywhere to "make good" and not disappoint their best friends. He then gave some helpful suggestions for making strong the local league work that Negroes are doing throughout the country. He urged his people to coin their energy, used sometimes in finding fault, into better methods of doing business and into efforts for personal and race progress. "Damning the other fellow," he said, "does not push us forward. His damning us cannot permanently hold us back." Dr. Washington called attention to the opportunities that Negro farmers waste when, for example, they do not raise stock and poultry on their farms. "The black man's Leghorn chickens, if properly cared for," he added, "will lay as many eggs as the white man's and he will get the same price in the market. There is no special color line in stock and poultry raising. "In the six states adjoining Oklahoma there are 133,000 acres of unimproved land—an area equal to all of New England, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. Here live 2,000,000 Negroes. "In this great tract of unimproved land Negroes have the opportunity to settle and to bring up out of the soil which is full of riches, cotton, corn, oats, wheat, poultry, horses, mules, cattle, and hogs. "In Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas and Oklahoma, 2,000,000 Negroes control as owners and renters about $300,000,000 worth of farm property, own 60,000 farms, containing 6,000,000 acres of land, and have a total value of farm property, land, live-stock, and farming implements of $200,000,000. Still, "for every Negro who owns an acre of land there are thirty-three who are landless." How, then, can the landless Negro be helped? The answer is by helping everybody and by showing all classes of Negroes how dependent they are upon the man who lives on the soil. "One big, definite fact in the direction of achievement and construction will go farther in securing rights and removing prejudices than many pages of defense and explanation," said Dr. Washington. "Let us talk more about our White friends, and about our White enemies less. Let us talk more about the man who has a job and less about the man without a job; more about health and life, less about sickness and death; let us make health contagious. "Let us get off the defensive in explaining why the house that we live in so often has the gate off the hinge, the fence palings gone, windows and doors broken, and the plastering knocked off. Let us put the people to talking about the beauty and attractiveness of Colored peoples' houses. "Let us acquire wealth and intelligence so fast that the world will forget our poverty and ignorance. Let us be so thrifty and industrious that people will have no time to talk about our carelessness and idleness. Let us make the Negro so law-abiding that people will talk less about the criminal Negro and more about the one who obeys the law. "Let us talk more about how we can live in peace and harmony with the White man and less about racial friction and racial bitterness. Let us exalt the White man who treats us with justice, and overlook and pity the little man who would retard our progress. "Nothing gets an individual or a race permanently upon its feet except definite, progressive, constructive work." Referring to the possibilities of the 2,000,000 Negroes in the Southwest, Dr. Washington said they could support 1,000 more grocery stores owned by Negroes, 500 more dry goods stores, 300 more shoe stores, 200 more restaurants and hotels, 300 more millinery stores, 200 more drug stores, and 40 more Negro banks. JOHN MC HUGH, ONE OF THE MOST EXPERIENCED NEWSPAPER MEN IN CHICAGO, SOUNDS THE PRAISES OF THE NINETEENTH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF THE BROAD AX. Julius F. Taylor, Editor of The Broad Ax. Dear Sir:—I cannot refrain from complimenting you on your magnificent 19th anniversary edition of The Broad Ax. In looking over it carefully I failed to find an instance where I could suggest an improvement. With its galaxy of statesmen local and national and their biographical sketches tersely and interestingly written, I surely consider the edition a dandy, and other people who have seen it express themselves likewise. While The Broad Ax is recognized as a reliable and authentic newspaper of the Colored race, I personally know that its circulation numerously penetrates the offices and homes of the White race and I am sure your anniversary edition will be the means of it doing so considerably more. Hoping The Broad Ax will continue to how to the line, let the chips fall where they may. 72 Republican candidate for re-election to the State Senate from the 3rd Senatorial District. M. MAJOR ROBERT R. JACKSON Re-nominated to make the race for the Legislature in the 3rd Senatorial District with almost three thousand majority at his back. The Louisville Courier-Journal quotes Dr. Washington as saying in a recent speech that "the Negro should stop fighting segregation and lend his energies toward beautifying the neighborhood in which he lives." If Dr. Washington is correctly quoted this is indeed most discouraging. It is inconceivable that one who occupies a position in the Afro-American world should so far forget his position and his dignity as to urge his race to cease protesting the most cowardly humiliating legislation in the land. It is safe to say that segregation has many champions even among our own race, but almost without exception they are to be found among that element where there is the least intelligence and where there is that inherent fear of opposing anything the White man chooses to do. But here we are smitten from an unexpected quarter; a recognized leader of his race, an educator tells us to forget our manhood; to forget the sacred and inalienable rights of political and personal liberty and to passively submit to the humiliation of being pushed aside as though we are a race of lepers, because we would seek cleaner and healthier neighborhoods in which to live. To submit to a degradation without serious objection is worse than cowardly; it is unmanly and ignoble, and any race that would do so without first exhausting every means of moral and legal protest is unworthy of the name of civilized. Segregation is wrong; wrong in principle and fact and if Dr. Washington believes it is wrong, as we think he does; it is to be deeply regretted that he lacks the moral stamina to say so. It is obvious even to the friends and supporters of Dr. Washington, that, if he is quoted accurately, he will not, can not in the future be regarded as being in sympathy with the Afro-American who places his self-respect and manhood above everything else and who is not willing to sacrifice either for the sake of living on more congenial terms with his White brother. PAGE FIVE L. A. ETTELSON the State Senate from the 3rd Senatorial District. Dr. Washington's statement is as puzzling to The News as it is painful, because even if he believes that we should not oppose segregation it seems worse than a blunder for him to throw so vulnerable a spot to the opponents of his policies by saying so. However the advice of the Sage of Tuskegee is not going to have any effect on our legal fight one way or the other. Surprise and disgust are expressed on all sides by those who read his quotation and The News is forced to confess to the drawing of some very painful conclusions, none of which is too complimentary to Dr. Washington. The above is reproduced from the Louisville News, without comment for the benefit of the followers of Booker T. Washington in this city and if they can derive any comfort from his views on segregation they are heartily welcome to them—Editor. SCHOOLS BUILT BY NEGROES Within the last two years the Negroes of Caroline County, Virginia, have built, unassisted, three two-room graded schools costing $1200 each and one three-room graded school costing $1800. At present there are three Negro schools under construction which will be ready for use in the fall of 1914. Two are two-room schools costing $1200 and the other is a four-room building at Dawn costing $2500, where, later, high school subjects will be taught. These seven rural graded schools have been built entirely by Colored people at a conservative total estimate of $10,300. All but one of them will receive the annual state aid of $200; that one receives $100, making the annual state aid to Negro rural schools in the county $1300. These figures do not include the gift of the Bowling Green Industrial Academy and 10 acres of land, the whole estimated as worth $2500, by the Colored people, nor the $175 annual state aid which that school as a teachers' training school will receive.—Southern Workman. --- PAGE SIX Spangles and Metallic Laces on Elegant. New. Evening. Gowns. I WHITE CRAPE EVENING GOWK. Spangles and metallic laces are featured for popularity this season. Paris has accorded them high favor in the designing of evening gowns. The model illustrated is of white tango crape, the skirt draped to form a slash and trimmed with two rippled flounces of spangled net. The bodice is of black tulle with long flowing drapery. THE ICE SUPPLY. Economy In Buying an Ample Quantity For the Refrigerator. Ice is not a cleanly product in spite of its crystal clearness. It collects dust and germs on its travels. If it is not possible to wash it on the back porch, set it in the sink and dash cold water over it so that it may go into the ice box as clean as possible. Remember that it is a saving to keep the ice chamber of the refrigerator full. A good big piece three times a week is much more economical, both in regard to the degree of coldness maintained and the amount of ice required, than a piece every day. Never put foods in the ice chamber. It is the very warmest part of the refrigerator, and the presence of food, either lying upon or standing against the ice, causes it to melt more rapidly. The only exception to this rule may be in the case of a vegetable which is wanted very crisp, as salad, etc.; then we must accept the extra melting. Very carefully wash the lettuce or parsley, cress or celery, wrap it in oiled paper and lay on the ice for a couple of hours. EVENING SLIPPERS. Extreme Elegance Is This Season's Footwear For Smart Women. Much importance is attached to the elegance of the footwear doned with evening costumes. Illustrated here one sees the latest novelty in evening slippers in the black satin with embroidery of 10 SATEN EVENING SLIPPERS. silver metal threads, clear crystal beads and rhinestone brilliants. It emphasizes the fondness for black and white effects by use of white crystal beads and jet in combination. Much importance is attached to decorative footwear in Paris. This model is shown in vivid shades of satin matching the dress. With these slippers are stockings in fine black silk duplicating the pattern of embroidery on the slippers. For the woman who travels a hand mirror case will be a convenience. It is made of heavy cardboard lined with cotton flannel and covered with creatone and bound with gold galloon. The two sections are caught together all around the handle and part way up the sides of the round part of the glass, then left open so that the glass may be slipped in. Ribbon ties at the end hold it in place. . The KITCHEN CUPBOARD VARIETY IN PICKLING. It is better to have a variety of pickles than a great quantity of one kind. The housewife who keeps this in mind and adds novel as well as toothsome relishes to her store may count on the appreciation of a grateful family. Even the best of condiments served too often cease to tempt. An Old Time Recipe. Something of a Novelty. Lemon Pickle—Peel very thinly six lemons; take off the white and cut the pulp into slices, taking out the seeds. Put the peel and pulp into a jar, sprinkle between them two ounces of salt, cover the jar, and let it stand three days. Boll in a quart of vinegar six cloves, three blades of mace, two or three shalots and two ounces of brushed mustard seeds. Pour it, boiling, over the lemons in the jar, and when cold cover. In a month strain and bottle the liquor, and the lemons may be eaten as pickle. The above is a useful sauce, especially for veal cutlets and mince veal. Nasturtium Pickles.-Pick the nasturtium seeds green. Leave a short stem on them and place them in a weak solution of salt and water, then soak them in fresh water for a day. Place them in bottles and cover with boiling vinegar. Tie covers over the bottles and store for a month before using. These are an excellent substitute for capers. Delicious With Cold Meat. Delicious With Cold Meat. Pickled White Onions—Peel onions, which should be fine white ones, and let them stand in strong brine for four days, changing twice in the meantime. Drain and put into a kettle of boiling water for ten minutes; remove and put into cold water. Leave them there for four hours, then drain and pack in jars or wide mouthed bottles, alternating with pieces of horseradish root and a very little sliced ginger. Put into the preserving kettle two quarts of elder vinegar, half a cupful of sugar, an ounce of whole peppercorns, four tablespoonfuls of celery seed, three tablespoonfuls of mixed mustard seed and two tablespoonfuls of whole cloves. Bring to scalding point and pour over the onions and seal while hot. Anna Thompson The KITCHEN CUPBOARD A LUNCHEON HINT. LUNCHEON MENU. Rolla. Creamed Celery. Beef Rechauffle With Tomatoes. Peach Whip. Cocoa. A SIMPLE little luncheon for the home folks may be prepared as suggested here. Cocoa.—Take two quarts of good, rich milk, put in a double boiler and let it come to a boil. Take two tablespoonful of cocoa, dissolve in a little hot water and add to the boiling milk. Sweeten to taste, simmer for a few minutes after adding the cocoa and serve. While simmering the egg beater may be stirred in the cream beating it to a froth. Put a little of the froth into each cup before filling. Creamed Celery.—The entire stalk of the celery can be utilized in making cream of celery. Separate the sticks, free them from tough strings, cut into dice and parbull until tender. Drain, add sweet milk and thicken with a paste of flour and butter. Season to taste and serve. With Leftover Meat. Beef Rechaunfe with Tomatoes.—Mince cold meat and reheat it in a brown sauce prepared with stewed tomatoes instead of water. After mixing the flour and butter in the usual way and letting them turn a delicate brown add enough of the tomato pulp to make a thick gravy, flavor with Worcestershire sauce and a pinch each of curry powder, pepper and salt. Have a platter spread with small slices of toast and pour the rechaunfe over them. Decorate with parsley and serve immediately. Broiled or fried tomatoes may be used in place of the toast. Peach Whip—Take four mashed peaches, half cup sugar, whites of two egg; heat light and stiff. Make a soft custard of the yolks of two eggs, half cupful of sugar, and two cupfuls of milk and one tablespoonful of cornstarch; flavor with vanilla. Slice two peaches in each individual dish with a tablespoonful of whipped cream and surround with soft custard. Aunas Themper. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, SEPTEMBER 12, 1914. Mrs. George Law, International Beauty, a Red Cross Nurse. Mrs. George Law, International Beauty, a Red Cross Nurse. A. MRS. GEORGE LAW. American women who live in Paris and London have been leaders in relief work there. Money for the work, splendid mansions for use as hospitals and personal service have all been tendered to the Red Cross. Mrs. George Law of New York, whose beauty has been the admiration of two continents, is one of the recruits. It is with the French Red Cross that she is said to intend to work. Mrs. Law was Miss Alga Smith. In 1894 she married George Law, who made a fortune in traction interests. Her husband died in 1898, and she was left a widow at twenty-two years of age, with an income of $300,000 a year. Since the death of her husband Mrs. Law has lived in Europe, residing in Paris and London. She has been presented at most of the European courts and was a friend of the late King Edward and Queen Alexandra. At various times she has been reported engaged to the maharajah of Kapurthala, the khedive of Egypt, Count de Dion, Count Chasselon, Prince Fuerstenberg and Gerald Lefevre Pontale. THE BURDEN BEARERS. In France It is Up to the Women, Says a Correspondent. "The women of France who paid the 5,000,000,000 francs of indemnity to Germany with their economies have announced their intention to harvest the fields and care for the country's herds and flocks while their husbands, sons and brothers fight the battles of the republic on Alsatian and Belgian battlegrounds," says Joseph Chamberlain in the New York Mall. "There is no picture of human or public devotion in all history which surpasses in pathos and beauty the record of the women of France. It is they who have chiefly suffered by the wars of conquest or defense that their kings, emperors and presidents have waged, and it is always by their industry, their thrift, their quiet wisdom, that the ravages of war are repaired. "For the French wife is the 'business man' of the household. It is generally she who carries on' the little shop which keeps the family alive or makes it prosperous. It is she who makes the family's plans and advances its fortunes. Her economies make it possible for the French people to pay the heaviest taxes in Europe and to pay them without a murmur. "And it is she who will stand in the gap and save the home industries and the production of France in the present crisis." Some two months ago the French suffragists held their parade in Paris. No police protection was given them, but the usually excitable Paris crowd watched in silence and respect. No police were needed. HOW TO EAT PEACHES Always Diecard Skina, as Physicians Pronounce Them Unwholesome. The aristocrat of fruits, tracing its lineage far back to China and Persia, the peach, is now with us and at its very best. While a ripe, fresh peach peeled and eaten out of hand can scarcely be improved upon, desserts, salads and other dishes run a close second. The skin never should be eaten under any circumstances, but the flesh of a ripe peach is permitted by up to date physicians as entirely wholesome—so much so that very young children and even typhoid patients are allowed its use. One well known physician goes so far as to declare that in dysentery troubles the peculiar acids of the peach, when ripe and sound, was better than any medicine that could be suggested. It would, however, be on the side of safety to consult one's local doctor before administering peaches ad lib. to any patient. Logo Plate Cover Covers for plates of cakes and sandwiches are made of filce lace mounted on wires frames to give them the proper form. Some are square, some round and some domellice, and they are made in various sizes. For refreshments served on the lawn or veranda these lace covers are most useful, for they protect the cakes or sandwiches or biscuits under them from flies and dust. The KITCHEN CUPBOARD A SUBSTANTIAL SUPPER. SUPPER MENU. Soup. Deviled Roast Beef. Tomato Omelet. Potatoes au Gratin. Fruit Salad. Plums in Batter. Tea. THIS supper will be found to be a savory yet nourishing one. In serving vary to suit the taste Deviled Roast Beef.—Cream one tablespoonful of butter, a teaspoonful each of lemon juice and table sauce, a saltspoonful of prepared mustard and a few grains of cayenne. Cut thick slices of rare roast beef, spread them with the seasoning and brown in a chafing dish. Serve with brown bread sandwiches. Vegetable Omelet. Tomato Omelet—Take three eggs, one cup strained tomato, one-quarter teaspoonful salt, dash of pepper, one teaspoonful of cornstarch and one teaspoonful butter or bacon fat. Beat the eggs until light and add cold water, salt and pepper. Beat until well mixed. Put the butter or bacon fat into a fry pan. When hot pour in the beaten egg and reduce the heat a little. Shake the pan constantly and with a fork loosen the edges until the egg is firm. Pour in -the tomato, which has been thickened with cornstarch, wet with a little cold water. Fold over half the omelet and turn out on hot platter. Garnish with parsley. Grapes In Salad. Fruit Salad.—Take one-half pound green grapes, five bananas, juice of lemon and one small head lettuce. Wash the grapes, make an inclusion and remove the seeds. Skin the bananas and with a French potato cutter cut into round balls. Squeeze the juice from the lemon and pour over the bananas. Put the grapes and bananas in cold place until ready to use. When ready to serve pile on lettuce leaves and cover with French dressing. To make the dressing put one tablespoonful of lemon juice and one-quarter teaspoonful salt into sauce dish; add two tablespoonfuls of olive oil slowly, beating constantly. A Delicious Dessert. Plums In Batter.—Make a batter with two beaten eggs, five tablespoonfuls of flour, a little more than one pint of milk and a pinch of salt. Remove the stones from one quart of large ripe plums, crack them, put the kernels inside of the plums again, mix the fruit with two heaping tablespoonfuls of moist sugar and stir it lightly into the batter. Turn it into a buttered pudding dish and bake in a hot oven till done. Sprinkle powdered sugar over the top and serve hot with one-half cupful of butter, one cupful of sugar and one well beaten egg stirred to a cream and flavored. Anna Thompson The KITCHEN GUPBOARD GREEN CORN DAINTIES. THIS favorite vegetable may be prepared in so many different ways and is so delicious in almost any form that it is no wonder it holds a high place in the housewife's favor. For the fastidious the following recipes may be of special value: Superior Fritters. Corn Fritters. — Sift one cupful of flour, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one scant teaspoonful of baking powder and one level teaspoonful of sugar together. Stir in two eggs, one cupful of grated corn and milk enough to make a batter that will drop easily from a spoon. Cook in hot fat and place on absorbent paper before serving. Corn Salad With Mayonnaise.—Take cold boiled corn, cut it from the cob, carefully removing any shreds of silk. Line a salad bowl with small white leaves from the heart of a lettuce head and then heap the corn in the center. Pour the mayonnaise over the whole, being sure to have plenty of it. The toothsomeness of corn as a salad ingredient is just becoming appreciated. Corn alone is better eaten with a mayonnaise than when mixed with other vegetables. A Dainty Souffle. Corn Souffles.—Prepare a cream sauce with a rounded teaspoonful each of butter and flour and a cupful of hot milk. Add the beaten yolks of three eggs, a cupful of grated raw corn and seasonings to taste. Fold in the stiff whites of three eggs, turn into individual cases, well buttered, and bake about twenty minutes in a hot oven. These must be served hot in the molds in which baked. Corn Timbales. — Take one cupful each of grated corn and milk, two whole eggs and one extra yolk, well beaten. Season, turn into buttered timbale molds, place in a pan of hot water and bake about a half hour in a moderate oven. Remove from molds, garnish with bits of truffle and serve with tomato sauce or with Spanish sauce. This latter is a rich white sauce, into which is stirred small cubes cut from the firm pulp of a tomato and diced green peppers. Anna Shoupard. I Photo by American Press Association. What a handsome and intelligent countenance is shown by the dog in the picture! Surely every one who sees it will echo this sentiment. This dog is named Collar and is one of the numerous dogs selected in Canada by Sir Ernest Shackleton to take to the antarctic in his proposed trip across that frozen end of the world. Now that war has broken out in Europe is doubtful if Sir Ernest will proceed on his quest. The experiences of explorers in the arctic and the antarctic have proved that dogs provide the best means of transportation. Ponies have been tried and found to be of little use in long journeys over the ice. Admiral Peary, who discovered the north pole, was accompanied by dog teams, as was also Roald Amundsen, who first reached the south pole. Captain Scott, who with several companions perished in the snow after reaching the pole, took ponies, but they died long before he reached the pole. A String Trick. Lay a piece of string across the palms of your hands placed side by side, letting the ends hang down; then bring your palms quickly together, at the same time secretly catching hold of the middle of the string with your fourth and fifth fingers. Then direct any person to tie your thumbs together as tight as he pleases, and he will not, of course, be tying them, because you have hold of the string, yet it will appear to him that he is doing so. Ask him to place a hat over your hands. Then blow upon the hat and say, "Be loose," slipping your thumbs from under the string. Direct him to remove the hat and show the thumbs free. Request that the hat be again placed over your hands. Then blow upon the hat as before and say, "Be tied," slipping your thumbs under the string again, and when the hat is removed your thumbs will appear to be tied as tight as at first. After you have performed the trick you must convey the string defy it into your pocket so that it may not be detected. Good form The invitations to a Bohemian supper are supposed to go to only one's most intimate friends and those who are talented, for people who can "do things" to entertain others are always in demand. For the true Bohemian supper one must be the possessor of enough individual chafing dishes, silver, copper or aluminium to go around, for each guest may choose and prepare his or her own special dainty undisturbed when the spirit moves and while the entertainment progresses. If one has not a large stock they can always be rented for the occasion. The lights are all yellow shaded, the flowers are yellow and those in season that are most decorative. Each chafing dish outfit is on its tray. The hostess presides over one large dish, which contains usually her favorite lobster a la Newburg, and many guests prefer it to making a dish for themselves. On the sideboard should be ingredients for a number of dishes. These may include mushrooms, sweetbreads, minced chicken, oysters, clams, lobsters and other well known foundations, with sauce accompaniments known to international cookery. In the center of the table is the revolving relish dish, surrounded by crackers, cheeses and various breads. National drinks that go with the edibles are in evidence. The final thing to be served is the Turkish coffee with its spiced and burning brandy, and it is accompanied by Turkish candy, which is generally partaken of by all present. SASH BOWS IN FRONT. So Fashion Decrees They Shall Be Tied This Season. GREEN SILK GOWN. For the fair maid of the debutante set an afternoon frock like the one pictured here is exceedingly dainty. In most cases it will be found becoming. The dress is of green pussy willow taffetta mottied with white. Style features of the gown are the kimono sleeves and the surplice front showing a vest of cream colored shadow face. The sash of black satin tied in the front is fastened by a jet ornament. Plaited frills of the material adorn the lower part of the skirt. WILLOW PATTERN PLATES. Old Blue and White Design Popular For Decorative Purposes. The old blue and white china that was so familiar to our grammies is high in favor nowadays, but as a treasured curiosity. Its soft deep blues or grays tone well with oak and add a delight- ful note of color to a girl's den. In modern reproductions it is far from be- ing expensive. The old fashioned china has a rime attached to it which runs thus: Two little birds flying high, Little vessels sailing by; Chinese temple there it stands, Seems to cover all the land. Weeping yellow beating oer Little bridges with three or four Orange trees with oranges on Palisading all along. And the ancient Chinese romance told by the design is that of two long ago lovers who eloped from an angry father. He followed them over a bridge, and they took a boat. Still, he pursued, and rather than be separated the lovers turned themselves into two birds and flew away. PEACH STAINS. They May Usually Be Removed With Javelle Water. Peaches should always be served with a dolly, as there is no fruit stain so difficult to remove. It will yield to renewed applications of javelle water, but the cloth is weakened unless great pains are used. Javelle water, by the way, is a convenient article to keep in the house, but it should be under lock and key of high on a shelf out of reach of inquisitive children. It is simply a solution of chloride of potash and if purchased under that name will cost less than when bought as javelle water. Pour a little of the solution over a stain; then almost immediately immerse the garment in lukewarm water and rub well. If the spot does not come out repeat the operation, letting it soak a moment longer in the solution. HOUSEHOLD HELPS. Do not use strong soapsuds on paint, varnish, linoleum or oil-cloth. Wash such a surface with tepid water and a little powdered borax. Going over it with a soft cloth wet with milk and water is beneficial. If egg yolks are put in a jelly glass and covered with cold water they will remain fresh and soft for several days. Change the water gently each morning. If ants should invade the house remember that they detest ground cloves and will not cross a white chalk line. A wooden rack which can be scrubbed daily is a great protection to a porcelain sink. An apple in the bread box keeps the contents moist, and a slice of bread in the cake box keeps cookies and cakes from becoming dry. After sweeping matting go over it with a woolen cloth dipped in a solution of salt and water. This is far better and more lasting than using ammonia.

Firet Day's Program at Fifteenti Annual Meeting—Time to Inaugurat New Policy, He Says, Muskogee, Okia.—The fifteenth an nual: meeting of the National Negn | Busineer teagve was held in this cit |at Convention hall from Wednesday Aug. 19, to Friday, Aug. 21, inclusive The sessions were attended by dele gates from local business league from all sections of the country. The Program bristled with interest through out the meetings as those who took part outlined their struggles an¢ achievements in the various lines o' business. The climax of the Orst day's pro gram was the Wednesday evening ses ston, when Dr. Booker T. Washing ton. president of the league, delivered his annual address. He, in part, said “Throughout the world ten millions and more of black people in the Unit ed States are being observed and stud. ted in a larger measure than is true of any similar group of black people i existence or perhaps that has ever existed. People from all parts of the world interested in the civilization of black people are coming to the United States to study the condition and the | Progress: of the American Negro; for. ‘after all is said, if there is any place where the Negro bas a chance to show his mettle it is right here in the Unit- ed States. “For this reason, as well as for the sake of ourselves, it is a matter of ex- treme importance that we not disap- Point ourselves nor those who are studying and observing us. Witbin the fifty sears of our freedom and even before physical freedom came great and almost marvelous progress has been made. but we must not rest Upon the past. We must continue to go forward. “Before beginning the body of my re. marks there are a few simple but fun- damental things to which I wish to di rect the special attention of each local league. These things 1 ask in order that the usefulness of the league mar be still further felt among the 10.000. 000 of our people. “First of all. do not fritter away too much time in your meeting in techui- calities known as parliamentary rules. “Second.—Let each local league study the condition and needs of our people in its community and devote it- self to doing that which will promote the commercial. industrial, education- al. professioua! and moral life of our race in that community. “Third.—Have a regular time of meeting and always have a meeting at that time. “Fourth.—Strive to bave a regular place of meeting. one that shall be at: tractive and convenient. “Fifth.—Have for each meeting a rarefully arranged program that shall strike at some definite thing. A gen- eral program means little. Serving re- freshments often helps. “Sixth.—Each local league should strive to gather into its membership every man and woman who fs interest- “d in any kind of honorable business, no matter how bumble that business pay appear to be. “Seventh.—Each league should bave for one of its objects the bringing of be white man. by whose side we live, nto friendly and sympathetic contact with the progress of the race. One way to do this is to invite successfully white men to visit and speak to the lo- aj leagues. The white man will help. nd we will be helped. “I believe that the time has come rhen we as a race should begin pre- aring to enter upon a new policy and | | new program.

Ax I have stated. In no other part of the United States i there greater opportunity for the Ne- gro than in the xix xtater adjjacent to Muskogee—namely, Kansas, Missouri. Arkansas, Loutsiana, Texas and Otia- homa. These xix states comprise the Greatest live xiock and poultry section of the United States. About one. fourth of all the live stock In the coun- try is in this section. This section is also great for poultry raising. The Poultry owned in these six states ts worth over $31,000,000 and is one-fifth the value of all the poultry in the country. “My own observation and statistics indicate that this is-also one of the greatest farming districts in the Unit- ed States. Almost 40 per cent of all the cotton raised In the country {s pro- duced in these states, and a great amount of corn, oats, wheat and po- tatoes is also raised. Here are, in- deed, great opportunities for the Ne- gro farmer. There are in the six states adjacent to this city 133,000,000 acres of unimproved land. This is an area of over 200,000 square miles. It fs equal to the area of all the New England states.

Let us stop the world from talking about the land we do not own, but about the land we do own. Get off the defensive by put- ting the world to talking about the thirty-three that do own land and not about the ones that do not own land. “Let your success thoroughly eclipse your shortcomings. We must give the world so much to think and talk about that relates to our constructive work in the direction of progress that peo- ple will forget and overlook our fail- ures and shortcomings. Instead of giving people opportunity to explain why we failed to build a house let us build so many houses that the world will forget about the bouse that we failed to build.

M. Moore Recommends increase In An- nual Funds For Educational Work. Durham, N. C.—Krom the singing of the Grst anthem by the augmented chorus of a bundred voices down to the last benediction there was an utmos- Phere of cordial fellowship and mu- tual cooperation in the legislation, de- liberations and discussions of the state Baptist Sunday school convention, which met here recently. More than 500 delegates and visitors were pres- ent. Dr, A. M. Moore, the president. being incapacitated by a severe kick from lis horse the previous night, was unable to officiate, and Dr. BE. M. Brawley presided. Dr. Brawley with few but thoughtful words welcomed the delegates on be- half of the church and introduced Mr. C. C. Spaulding. Mr. Spaulding ex- tended greetings to the convention on behalf of the colored citizens of Dur- ham and introduced Mayor W. J. Brog- den’ The mayor is a forceful speaker, possessing a rire knowledge of the problems of Christianity, fortified by extended practical experience and a natura! siucerity of purpose. His ad- dress was frequently interrupted by enthusiastic applause. Dr. E. E. Smith of Fayetteville responded to the wel- come addresses. The annual sermon was preached by Dr. C. §. Brown of Winton. N. C. The president's annual address was read by A. I. Holses. The address opened with a retrospective fore- mx -hs > prey a4 oo See . Me a | thought, in which the work of the past | year was reviewed. The need of co- eperation and closer contact between the ebhurch and Sunday school and a suggestion offered that the fund main- tained by the convention for the aid of ‘deserving girls who are attending school be increased to $500 per year | were also points of interest in the pres- ident’s address. Dr. Moore favored a ‘plan to belp promote. contro! and main- ‘tain the theological department of Shaw university, making this institu- tion the recognized head of the educa- tional work: in the state. He also fa- vored institute work for Sunday school teachers in district conventions. Dr. A. W. Pegues, the corresponding secretary, followed the president's ad- dress with bis annual report. His find- ings and recommendations included better equipment and more literature for the Baptist schools of the state; a closer relationship between the state convention and the district convention; an increase in the scholarships for de- serving girls to $25, and more attention to the orphan asylums. The newly appointed missionary secretary, Rev. ‘M. A. Tally, made ap encouraging re- port : The report of Colonel James H.

B. Vincent. Dr. 8. N. Vass. travelling secretary of the American Baptist Publication society, delivered a highly iustructive Bible lecture The round table discussion, led by Dr. B. E. Smith and Rev. J. H. Moore, were very interesting and helpful. The receipts of this session amounted to $1,100. A Layman's Missionary association was organized and will hold its next meeting at Hamlet, N.

Que of the most common habits thai is reprehensible is that of discussing Personal affairs in public. They may be your own affairs or they may be matters that concern others. At any rate, they should not be discussed in the hearing of strangers. ‘The withholding of names is no ex- cuse. Very frequently a listener has been able to follow a conversation and to know perfectly the ones under dis- cussion. Women who have the habit of talking in this way in public seem to think that no one knows anything but themselves. Street cars, railroad trains, elevators, restaurants and the promenade where there are crowds are places where the conversation should be restrained. Keep your gossip if you must indulge in this evil practice for your own home. Even then tt will probably be repeat- 4 with a different accent and given & different interpretation. Generally Speaking, gossip brings a punishment on the one who is responsible for it &3 well as working incalculable arm.

To get the fullest enjoyment from these evenings, you must see to it now that you have the right kind of light. Do not risk eye-strain, headaches or that "tired feeling" which inevitably follows the use of insufficient or improper lighting systems. An improper light is responsible for a great many ills besides eye-strain. It induces nausea, indigestion, and nervous irritation. It causes a loss of time and temper, and its unremitting inadequacy has brought many a worthy ambition to a premature and untimely end. Whether you plan to work or play you need proper light, or your plans will come to brief. There is only one scientifically accurate and satisfactory home illuminant. It is The Amber Glow Gas Light. In spite of the fact that it is the best, it is also the cheapest. Amber Glow Lights are so cheap that they can be enjoyed by anybody. Amber Glow Lights are so good that they should be used by everybody. One Amber Glow Light is sufficient to illuminate a large room and consumes about four cents worth of gas in FIFTEEN hours. An Amber Glow Light costs $2.25, payable, if you wish, in three installments of seventy-five cents each with your gas bill.
