As many new features are being added to The Broad Ax right along in order to make it more interesting and more especially for the large number of women both White and Colored who greatly delight to read it. We have decided for the next thirty days or until November 1 to reduce the annual subscription price to The Broad Ax from $2.00 to $1.00, so as to make it possible for it to add two to three thousand new names to its present long mailing list, so as to enable it to greatly extend its power and influence in every direction. With this big reduction in its regular subscription price with its many new features and with its improvement in other ways it should be a pleasure to all those who desire to read a real live newspaper to chuck one dollar into the mill for one year's subscription to it. In order to induce all agents and correspondents to get real busy and assist to push or boom it to the limit we will allow them 25 per cent commission on all new business solicited by them RECORD YOUR BABY'S BIRTH A young man, born in Chicago, but now living in the East, has written to the Department of Health asking that a certificate of his birth be sent him. He lays great stress on the need of getting the certificate promptly, as he has an excellent position depending on it. But now comes the pathetic side of the young man's case. He says that his mother died some years ago, at which time all the family records were lost. His father cannot be located, and so far as can be determined, the parents neglected to have his birth recorded, so the poor fellow finds himself almost a man but with practically no legal existence at all. He will in all probability, not get the good position he had promised to him. The chances are too, that when he comes to register as a citizen to vote he will be challenged and, without a certificate of his birth to show, will not be permitted to vote at all. It is strange parents will be so careless about having the births of their children recorded, when it may mean so much to them in later years. Cases similar to the one noted are brought to the notice of the Department of Health almost every day, where the importance of birth registration is peculiarly emphasized. And yet parents will continue to neglect having the births of their children recorded, while the pedigree dog, horse or cow, would not be so treated under any circumstances. . . . Miss Julia Lathrop, head of the Children's Bureau at Washington, in a recent report, presents some startling figures as to the infant death rate in this country. She tells us that during the ten years from 1900 to 1910, more than 2,500,000 of the babies born in the United States died before reaching one year of age. Also that many of these deaths were needless and might have been prevented if only proper preventive methods had been employed. The report claims that with the spread HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAX —the cold cash must accompany each and every order. This is a splendid chance for bright boys and girls to earn some Christmas money after school hours and on Saturdays by securing subscriptions to The Broad Ax, and in order to prove to them that we mean business we will start them in the newspaper free of charge if they will call on the writer any evening after five o'clock or communicate by letter or phone Drexel 4590. Active or live agents wanted in all the leading towns and cities throughout Illinois and in other sections of the country to rustle up new business for The Broad Ax. Old subscribers will be permitted to take advantage of this reduction of the subscription price which will only last for thirty days by promptly paying up their back indebtedness to the paper and $1.00 in advance for one year's subscription to it. Now is the time to subscribe for it, to read it and to advertise in it for The Broad Ax is all powerful and unconquerable. of the growing science of sanitation, babies should be well born, that is, born under clean, healthy surroundings; that they should be well reared, that is should always have plain, wholesome food, and plenty of good air and sunshine; and that if these conditions could prevail, the baby death rate would be almost nothing. --- Much stress is also laid on the importance of complete and adequate birth registration all over the land as a factor in saving the lives of the babies. It is claimed when the babies are all recorded, public health officials will be able to watch the infant mortality rate and thus be able to promptly locate and check epidemic ailments by applying the methods now well known and used in all infant welfare work. Thirty of the states in the Union now have laws requiring birth registration, but laws or amendments to existing laws are needed in the states who have not covered this important subject by adequate legislation. Among the states that have not kept pace with this phase of civic progress is our own state of Illinois. Indiana and Iowa are also in the same class. It is a well known fact that people born in any of the countries of Europe rarely have any trouble in furnishing properly authenticated certificates of their births. There are no good reasons why every citizen of this country should not be able to give an equally good account of himself. OPENING OF THE BETHEL LITERARY CLUB.

CHICAGO, OCTOBER 3, 1914 ANTI- TUBERCULOSIS ARMIES MOBILIZE FOR PALL CAMPAIGN SECTIONAL CONFERENCES TO BE HELD IN BANGOR, PHILADELPHIA, ATLANTA, AND ST. LOUIS DURING OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER. New York, October 1, 1914: Four Sectional Conferences on tuberculosis will be held in various parts of the country during the months of October and November under the direction of The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, according to an announcement from the headquarters of that organization to-day. These Conferences, designed to stimulate the war against tuberculosis in the sections which they serve, will be held in St. Louis, Mo., on October 6, 7 and 8; in Philadelphia, Pa., on October 16; in Bangor, Me., on October 22nd; and in Atlanta, Ga., during the last week in November.

In the official announcement relative to these conferences, Dr. Charles J. Hatfield, executive secretary of the National Association says: "These four conferences are in fact the mobilization of those who are engaged in the war against tuberculosis for the coming fall and winter campaign which we are planning to wage against this disease. In almost every state of the Union, active movements against tuberculosis will be forwarded during the next six months. We hope at these conferences to discuss ways and means and to secure the support and enthusiasm which will enable us to attack our individual problems more successfully than we could do otherwise."

JACK PERGUSON, WELL KNOWN IN THE CITY HALL AND POPULAR WITH ALL THE MEN UNDER HIM. Elevator Starter, Jack Ferguson, better known as "Genial Jack" who has been a faithful employee of the great city of Chicago, at the City hall, for over twenty-four years, by kindness and courtesy in directing the thousands of human beings of every nationality and description has won a host of friends who would miss his hearty "Good morning" should he ever make up his mind and retire on pension. In directing the many applicants for unskilled labor, Jack's sympathy and love for humanity is shown. He uses the same kindness and courtesy no matter how ragged or uninviting the applicant may be. "Genial Jack" is married and lives with his family in their beautiful home at No. 5530 W. Adams St. EDITOR OF THE BROAD AX FRAISED The time to give praise to a man for his clever work, his success in life, is when he is living. This is what Brother Julius F. Taylor of the Chicago Broad Ax is receiving. Brother Taylor, a neighbor and co-worker, did some splendid work when he got out a twelve page paper two weeks ago, filled with cuts and write-ups of the big politicians just prior to the primary and most every man he endorsed was nominated. He is a relentless worker and as one writer puts it, he "neither erings or bows," a trait which stands out boldly in his character. The Freeman correspondent with other local newspapers joins in No. 2 singing the praise of one who is a success in the business as a scribe.—Cary B. Lewis, in the Freeman, Indianapolis, Ind., September 30, 1914. The Union of Cincinnati, Ohio, also sounds the praise of the Nineteenth Anniversary Edition of The Broad Ax by reproducing the comment on it from the Chicago Defender, September 19, 1914. We still feel exceedingly grateful to the members of the newspaper craft for their unstinted praise of our efforts in bringing forth the recent Anniversary of The Broad Ax.-Editor.

Shaffner, an African from Madagascar Islands, will address the boys of the Louise Training School for Colored Boys next Sunday afternoon at 3:30, 6129 Loomis St. Visitors are earnestly invited to come in to our boys' meetings. A woman's birthday is a fact, but her age is fiction. The rolling stone acquires a polish along with his bumps. The industrious man prays for work; the lazy man for a snap. In the matter of war neither might nor dynamite makes right. The best lessons a man can learn are from his own mistakes. People who take themselves too seriously never have any fun. Cheer up! Sunshine will eventually puncture the thickest cloud. A woman always wants another woman to help her keep a secret. War is just as bloody, no matter which side seems to be winning. No real hustler is satisfied with the things that come to those who wait. At least the Swiss navy will not do anything to complicate the situation. If there is anything glorious at all about war it is the Red Cross nurse. In this war nothing is sure but death in Europe and taxes in America. China still sits by the "open door" wondering what is going to blow in next. Some fellows strike out for themselves, while others depend on a pinch hitter. A man's appetite gives doctors an opportunity to experiment at his expense. It is easier for a young man to make love to a girl than to make a living for her. The pen may still be mightier than the sword, but only the pen wielded by the censor. Paraguay has signed a peace treaty with this country, and, of course, every little helps. Turkey seems to be getting ready to get it in the neck once more about Thanksgiving time. While Europeans are dodging bullets Americans are dodging the "when I was in Europe" stories. The aviation corps of a country's forces is the only one which can fly without running away. A New York doctor claims that it is injurious to put sugar in coffee. To the sugar or to the coffee? If there ever is an international hay fever association it should always hold its convention in Klauchau. Where is the old fashioned man who used to predict that the next great war would be fought on the seas? It may have been noticed that few of the fashionable honeymoon plans are including a trip to Europe. If war cuts off the entire supply of dyestuff blonds and brunettes will be shown up in their true colors. For purely lingual reasons the American reader is grateful that the war is not to extend too much time boasting of your grandfather. Fix it up so that your grandsons will be proud of you. The European war eagle, with wounded wings, must envy the tranquillity of the much maligned American peace dove. A diplomat can take his choice between being called loquacops or being described as preserving an ominous silence. Money makes a powerful ripple on the waters, but it does not always turn the tides. There is a little of the war spirit in all of us. Note your own sensations when some awkward gink trample your corn. A diamond trust has been formed thus threatening still further to increase the cost of living for deserving prima donnas. The discovery of a new comet is reported from Bulgaria. As a passage of war it arrived considerably behind schedule time. One difficulty with a war correspondent's life is that if some hasty officer shoots him as a spy the mistake is so hard to correct. To act the part of a true friend requires more conscientious feeling than to fill with credit and complacency any other station or capacity in public life. One way to circumvent the advance of food prices, announces a New York investigator, is to eat less. Which will be dismissed by the average healthy and hearty American as no remedy at all. "Blessings on the barefoot boy," as the late Mr. Whittier remarked. That boy never smashed glass on any thoroughfare. Auto tire bills would be lower if there were none but barefoot-boys. The KITCHEN GUPBOARD FOR SCHOOL LUNCHEONS. WITH the opening of school the demand for dalty sandwiches is in order in households where the children take their luncheons with them. For this purpose plain yet nutritious foods are required. Some excellent sandwiches are suggested here Novel Fruit Sandwiches Toasted Banana Sandwiches.—Take four bananas and thin slices of bread and butter. Skin and scrape the bananas, cut in thin slices the long way, lay on bread evenly, dust with a little salt, press together, put in shallow pan, place in oven until nice and brown. Serve while warm. Minced Chicken Sandwiches.—This sandwich is a favorite in the south and is often served for luncheon. Cut brown bread into thin slices and spread with this filling. Mix together one cupful of white meat of cold minced chicken, one tablespoonful of minced Spanish onion, one-half teaspoonful each of salt and cayenne pepper, two tablespoonfuls of thick sweet cream. Garnish with a sprig of parsley or green bay. Served on Stale Bread. Sardine Sandwiches.-Scrape the skin lightly from as many canned sardines as will be required. Split them open, cut off the tails and remove any bones there may be. Butter thin slices of bread from a stale leaf and lay the sardines between two of them. Cut away the crust and press the slices with the hand to make them adhere; garnish with parsley. Cut them with a sharp knife into long, narrow sandwiches. Meat and Potato Sandwiches. -Take slices of cold meat, six parcelled on cold potatoes, a tablespoonful of butter, one egg, a little milk, seasonings to taste, and frying fat. Cut the meat into thin slices, season with chopped pursley, salt and pepper. Peel, boil and mash six potatoes, add the butter, the seasoning and milk. After covering the slices of meat on both sides with the mixture, dip in beaten egg and fry till a light brown in boiling fat. Serve on a hot dish, prettily garnished. Nutritious and Dainty. Toasted Cheese Sandwiches.—Cut slices of bread a little more thickly than is usual for sandwiches, spread one slice with butter and the other with a filling made by grating or grinding through a food chopper one-half pound of cheese, to which may be added any desired seasoning, as, for instance, a few drops of onion juice, a little butter if the cheese is dry, a little fresh or canned pepper or a sprinkling of nuts. Spread the filling generously on the bread, press the two slices firmly together and toast the outer surfaces, during which process the cheese will slightly melt. Serve very hot, not preparing the sandwiches until ready to place them on the table. Anna Thompson. The KITCHEN CUPBOARD WHAT TO HAVE FOR BREAKFAST. BREAKFAST MENU. Kruit. Muffins. Fried Tomatoes. Hashed Brown Potatoes. Baked Eggs. Coffee. WHEN vegetables are plentiful the wise housewife will find them not only a useful but a whole lare. They are featured in this menu.

Separate two eggs; beat the yolks, add the sour milk and stir in quickly one and a half cupfuls of flour and a half tea-spoonful of salt; beat and fold in the well beaten whites of the eggs. Bake in a quick oven. Fried Tomatoes.—Take four large tomatoes, wash and wipe and cut each one into three slices. Season with one even tea-spoonful of salt, one-half even tea-spoonful of pepper, dust over with flour, dip each slice separately into beaten egg and cover with grated breadcrumbs.

Potato Omelet Boiled Black Bass. Pepper and Grapefruit Salad. Whole Wheat Bread. Stuffed Cucumbers. Grape Pie. Coffee. FISH is so much cheaper than mean that it is wise at this time to make as much use of it as possible. The great variety of fish and the many ways of serving it which may be taken advantage of make it possible frequently to substitute it for meat. Potato Omelet.-Take the yolks of three eggs and beat very light. Season one cupful of cold mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, one-half cupful of milk and a little chopped parsley. Beat the yolks into this, then add beaten whites. Heat pan plping hot and butter; pour omelet into it. Brown lightly, turn and serve very hot. Bolled Black Bass.-Put in a pot enough slightly salted water to cover fish, add one gill of vinegar, one onion, eight whole peppers and a blade of mace. Sew up the fish in a piece of thin cheesecloth fitted singly to it. Lay in water, bring slowly to boil, then boil steadily, allowing twelve minutes to each pound of fish. When done remove cloth, lay fish on platter and serve with cream sauce. Pepper and Grapefruit Salad.—Cut slices from the stem ends of six green peppers and remove seeds. Refill with grapefruit pulp, finely cut celery and English walnut meats broken in pieces, allowing twice as much grapefruit as celery and two nut meats to each pepper. Arrange on chicory or lettuce leaves and serve with mayonnaise dressing. Stuffed Cucumbers.—Take four good sized cucumbers, peel, cut in halves lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds. Mix together one-half pint of breadcrumbs, one level teaspoonful of salt, one saltspoonful of pepper, one-half cupful of finely chopped nuts, one good sized onion, one tablespoonful of chutney. Stuff the cucumbers; fasten them together with wooden skewers or tie with string. Put six tablespoonfuls of olive oil in a shallow baking pan; when hot put in the cucumbers, turn them until carefully browned on all sides. Add one-half cupful of water and bake slowly for one and one-half hours, basting frequently. Anna Thompson. The KITCHEN CUPBOARD VEGETABLE SOUFFLES. FOR luncheon or dinner a vegetable souffle is delicious. Most vegetable tables may be used for the purpose. Care should be exercised in mixing the ingredients. Browned In the Oven. Cauliflower Souffle.—Beat separately the yolks and whites of three eggs. Chop finely half a pound of cooked cauliflower and add half a teaspoonful of salt, a pinch of pepper and grated Parmesan cheese to taste. Mix this with the yolks of eggs and put in a well buttered ple dish with the stiffly beaten whites of eggs on the top. Bake in a quick oven. Tomato Souffle.—Take three large tomatoes, scald, skin and slice them. Cook in a double boiler with one bay leaf, a teaspoonful of salt, a slice of onion and six peppercorns for half an hour until the tomatoes are thoroughly cooked. Now melt two tablespoonfuls of butter and add two tablespoonfuls of flour. Cook for a few minutes and then add one cupful of the strained juice of the cooked tomatoes. Keep over the fire, and when smooth pour into it the beaten yolks of three eggs and set aside to cool. When cool add the whites of eggs, sprinkle with grated cheese and bake in a moderate oven. Novel Use of Sweet Potatoes. Sweet Potato Souffle.—Select small sweet potatoes for this purpose. Slice lengthwise in order to get a layer of potato without slicing across the grain. Cut about twice as thick as Saratoga potatoes in order to allow for two crusts to the puff. Drop into cold water for an hour, drain and wipe perfectly dry. Have two pans of fat in readiness, one with the blue smoke just rising and the other rather hotter. Drop a few slices at a time in the first kettle and let them remain until half done. Drain and put them into the oven where they will keep hot for five minutes, then plunge into the second saucepan. Cook until brown. Sphinach Souffle.—Take a half peck of spinach, pick over, wash thoroughly, drain and put into a kettle with a half cupful of water and a teaspoonful of salt. Summer ten or fifteen minutes, take up, chop and press through a colander. Add two tablespoonfuls of cream, the yolks of four eggs and a dash of cayenne. Fold in the beaten whites of four eggs and turn into a buttered dish. Cover the top with grated breadcrumbs and bits of butter, sprinkle with cheese and bake in a hot oven. Serve with egg sauce. DAMES AND DAUGHTERS Jennie D. Loltman, aged twenty-two, has obtaind the degree of master of laws from Boston university. The Duchess of Marlborough, who was Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt, has, it is said, contributed $2,000,000 to the suffrage cause in England. Mrs. Margaret Stockman of Hampstead Garden, a suburb of London, is so framing her will as to disinherit her only son if women do not get the vote before her death. Mme. Montessori will supervise the work of the model Montessori school to be conducted as a part of the educational demonstration work at the Panama-Pacific International exposition in 1915. China already has women doctors, but it remains for Miss Yarlock Low to offer to her country the services of a woman lawyer. Miss Low is a junker at an American university and feels sure that by the time she has won her degree her home province of Pingyang will be ready to receive her. Flippant Flings. Adam blamed it on an apple. But nowadays it is a peach that usually starts all the trouble.—Clinchmati Enquiler. Ohio has not yet signified its usual desire to furnish all of the presidential candidates in 1916.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Another interesting point is. What effect will this war have on some of those titles that have been bought by the rich papas of American girl1—Duluth Herald. "The golden age of beautiful women is passing," observes or at least alleges—a Japanese naval officer. No wonder these far eastern officers are mad enough to go to war.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Animal Oddities There are 20,000 different kinds of butterflies. The fouder lays 7,000,000 eggs a year, the turbot 12,000,000. The earliest riser of the bird family is the greenfinch, which sometimes begins to sing at 1 o'clock on a summer morning. In appearance flying fish are very like a sand mullet. The wings resemble an extended dorsal fin and open and shut like a lady's fan. One little honeybee will hang suspended from a limb, while from his body a hundred others will depend one holding to another, a fashion-and one cannot see that the first bee wavers or finds his load heavy. Tax Suggestions. Let economy be taxation's teammate—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Moving pictures of the war ought to be taxed on their gate receipts.—Philadelphia Record. Let's have a tax on baseball tickets and have it effective from Nov. 1 to March 1 each year.—Lawrence Telegram. A war tax on automobiles which would take the joy out of the joy rule could not be wholly burdensome.—New York World. We would suggest that the administration might get a pile of money by putting a war tax on the free lunch.—Philadelphia Inquirer. Town Topics. Baltimore needn't think she owns "The Star Spangled Banner."—Richmond Times-Dispatch. Chicago, like Boston, loses her grand opera by reason of the European war. By the way, it is still true, in Chicago, that nothing is wasted but the squeal.—Manchester Union. "Near side stops" for the street cars have proved to be very popular in New York, where some people in the past have experienced difficulty in getting the motormen to stop at all.—Boston Globe. Cost of Living. Why not a five and ten cent butcher shop?—Washington Herald. The grocers blame prices on the "man higher up," but always it is the man lowest down who pays them—Philadelphia Inquirer. Newark, N. J., has also opened municipal markets. A general engagement is against opening the advance of prices, with a particular effort to outflank beef—New York Sun. Train and Track. Finland has 2,430 miles of railway. About 65 per cent of the Swiss federal railways rest on steel ties. As a recognition of good service the Erie railroad paints the name of a meritorious engineer on the locomotive. Russia's railways are narrower than the European standard. They were built so to hamper any attempt at military invasion. Simple Salve. Never neglect a cough or a continued cold. Consult your physician early. Don't let your baby crawl on a dirty floor. Wash its hands after creeping. To disguise the unpleasant taste of epsom salts drop in a little lemon juice. Then you will find the salt solution quite pleasant to take. Hot water used both internally and externally is highly recommended by medical men as a cure for insomnia. Bathing the feet in hot water is said to be particularly efficacious. ROM TRENCHES.

It has leaked out, as an aftermath of the recent A. M. E. Conference held in this City that the Rev. Archibald J. Carey, Ph. D. D. D., was given a wide berth by the visiting elders who attended that gathering. They made inquiries, so it is said about the terrific arraignments of the Rev. Archibald J. Carey which had from time to time appeared in the columns of The Broad Ax. They were particularly anxious to learn, so we are advised, as to whether or not the distinguished political preaching pastor of the Institutional Church had in any manner denied the many charges and indictments which The Broad Ax had leveled against him. When they were informed that "nary word" had he said or written explanatory or otherwise, they shook their heads and glanced a knowing wise glance at each other which bespoke the opinion that "there must be some smoke where there was so much fire." One good brother, noted throughout the Western Country for his eloquence, observed that he had never in his long career known of a case where a public man, subjected to such stinging charges as those made by The Broad Ax against Rev. Carey, did not in some way, and through some medium, deny or explain them. He was speaking in the presence of a number of the Ministers attending the Conference, and we are told that when he made the observation those around him shouted an "Amen" that could be heard a half block from the church. For the information of the brethren, The Broad Ax desires them to know that we have repeatedly offered and opened the columns of this paper to the Rev. Archibald Jackson Carey, Ph.D. D. D., for any reply that he cared to make, free from any cost to him. This he has not done. We can, therefore, only conclude that the axiom "Silence gives consent" is fittingly and truthfully applicable to the pastor whose preachments are not usually prompted by principles. WAR The horrors of the European struggle teems in the daily reports from the front of the revolting slaughter of thousands of war dogs with their engines of destruction. Now it is that the Germans have annihilated a whole brigade of the Allies. The next reports tells of the flanking of the Germans left or right wing by the Allies leaving on the battle-fields thousands of dead and wounded. And so from day to day from the battle zone comes the story of death and destruction. The present week has added new material to the great struggle. France has drawn on her African possessions to the extent of an entire army corp. These giant blacks passed through Paris last week. The news comes that all Paris went into hysteria over these trained African fighters some of whom left their fertile fields, and others the desert sands to give up their lives in the defense of the honor and flag of the Country under whose rule they lived. The present conflict in Europe has already felt the force of the black soldier. England drafted from her possessions in Tangier the much heralded Turcer's who were thrown into the fray some weeks ago. It is said that they fought like demons and mowed down the Germans with ruthless ferocity. The War Correspondents in their reports have frequently referred to the great fighting qualities of these black soldiers. It is reported that the Germans flee in disorder at the sight of a regiment of what they call "Swortzer devils." There can be no doubt that these new additions to the Allies fighting force which France has just sent to the front will give a good account of their conduct whenever and wherever they are called upon to do battle. POOR MEXICO Following close on the heels of a successful revolution through the combined efforts of Villa and Carranza news comes of a breach between these two chiefs which threatens to again embroil Mexico into a bitter strife. Pancho Villa seems to have the best of the contentions. He insists that the long struggle at the cost of billions of money and thousands of lives had for its sole object and purpose the relief of the millions of peons whose labor had for decades been spent to enrich the aristocratic few. It is feared, so he contends, that Carranza since his triumphant entry into Mexico City has lost sight of the ideals which fired the valor of those who fought for the riddaice of Huerta and his satillites. From this distance it appears that the position taken by Villa approaches nearer the goal of universal freedom for Mexico and Mexicans than does the "Latin soul" of first Chief Carranza. The fact that Carranza is numbered among the few land-lords of Mexico whose estates are vast, gives color to the contentions of Villa that he has abandoned those upon whose graves he rode into power. One thing, however, seems certain and that is, that the great mass of the Mexican people are clamoring for the reforms advocated and fought for by Villa and his army. If Carranza insists on holding the reigns of the Government and administering the affairs of this revolution torn Republic along the lines he has started, the world may expect a continuance of the struggle which already had made Mexico the most undesirable spot on earth in which to live. Meanwhile the vast foreign interest must continue to suffer, while President Wilson and Secretary Bryan continue their pussilimous policy of "watchful waiting." COUNTY COMMISSIONER The candidacy of Colonel Franklin A. Denison appeals to The Broad Ax as one around which the Negro voter, to a man, can well afford to rally. The position of County Commissioner is one of the most important upon which the voters of this County will be called to choose at the forthcoming election in November. The Negro people unquestionably needs, and should have, representation on this important Board. During the primaries just ended Colonel Denison received the endorsement of every civic agency interested in politics, to say nothing of the solid support given him by the public press both White and Colored. That these strong forces each without the knowledge of the other found in his career a record replete with evidences of intelligence, capacity, and unquestioned fitness is not only an encomium of which the Colonel should be proud, but a compliment to the Negro people of this City which should be returned by their undivided support of him at the election in November. THE NEW EIGHTH ARMORY The cornerstone of the new Eighth Regiment Armory, 35th and Forest Ave., will be laid on Sunday, Oct. 11th, at high noon. Governor Edward F. Dunne will deliver the principal address. He will be accompanied by the entire staff. Arrangements under the direction of Major R. B. Jackson are being perfected for the participation in the parade by the uniform ranks of the local fraternities. The Eighth Regiment will head the parade under the Command of Colonel Franklin A. Denison. Details of the line of march and the balance of the programme will appear in these columns in our next issue. CHIPS. Mrs. Beauregard F. Moseley and daughter, Bertha L. Moseley, of 4331 Forestville Ave., entertained Mrs. Lulu West and Miss Seipio A. Jordan and brother Dr. Jordan, of Little Rock, Arkansas, and Mr. and Mrs. H. Jones, of Chicago, at dinner and a theatre party, Wednesday evening, last. They were all very much pleased with "The Follies," now playing at the American Music Hall, and think it one of the best of the road shows of recent years. Mrs. West and Miss Jordan will leave the early part of next week for home. Mrs. Viola Hathaway, who for the past two years assisted Fred M. Waterfield in his store at 5202 S. State Street, has been confined to her home with severe illness since September 1. At the present time she is stopping at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Woods, 5817 La-Fayette Avenue, and she will be pleased to have her friends call on her. Dr. M. A. Majors is attending her. Caldwell Watkins, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. T. Watkins, 3332 Calumet avenue, after attending Wilberforce University for two years, has become a student at the Harvard College, Cambridge, Mass., beginning his studies in that institution the first of the present week. Al Russell has been established in business on the Northeast corner of 35th and State street for more than twenty years. He conducts a first-class cafe and chop suey retreat in connection with his buffet. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, OCTOBER 3, 1914. "Yes, sir," replied the boy attendant.

For years she raved of Launceot, But Reginald her brain would fill But later on she cast her lot And grabbed a common mutt named Bill.—Cincinnati Enquirer. A lot of opportunities come at inopportune times. It takes a strong will to hold the human tongue. The war without a name is getting called a good many. Lots of people give advice who haven't any to spare. Many a man who says nothing saws precious little wood. Will Russia or Germany have Turkey for Thanksgiving? To run a straight furrow you must look a long way ahead. The heyday of youth isn't in it with the pay day of manhood. For a war that nobody started it had developed into quite a scrap. If you must fret and worry get away by yourself. They are catching. Maybe Sherman didn't say it, but that won't stop the paragraphers. If you cannot meet adversity with a smile give it a jack lantern grin. When we begin to dig up the virtues of a friend we soon bury all faults. It is well to remember that threatened evils are subject to postponement. The fashionable colors for football players this year are black and blue. Money is one thing everybody is after, and yet it always gets left behind. Most people have too much of what they don't want and too little of what they do. A canard seems to be an uncensored report that one nation makes regarding another. An idle rumor always gains currency, which is more than can be said of an idle man. Some men are so sensitive that they would rather have you shoot at them than laugh at them. If you think you are wise take a day off and observe how little people care about your wisdom. A convention of hoboes has condemned war. That is to say, they put it in the same class as work. Alum has gone up in price because of the war, says an exchange. Astringent stringency, as it were. There is a paradox in pride. It makes some men ridiculous and prevents others from becoming so. Even if much immediate headway is not made, peace is a mighty good subject to discuss just at this time. Petrograd, the new name of Russia's capital, sounds like some of the recently invented high explosives. The man who makes the most of a small job is doing better than the man who makes the least of a big job. On the first of the month, when the bills commence to come in, father is sure that home is the dearest spot on earth. How empty are the fruits of war! Whoever finally gets the fortress of Przemysl will have to keep on pronouncing it. The king of Tonga island has declared his neutrality, thus complicating our war map by the introduction of a perfect stranger. Another comet has been seen by a foreign star gazer. Needless to say the newcomer is suffering from a deserved lack of attention. The American child who sends a gift to a war orphan in Europe by the Christmas ship will have the happiest Christmas ever known. There is no disgrace in being poor, we are told. And we're glad of it, for there are enough other disadvantages about it without that one. Frequent references to war distances in terms of kilometers may have the good effect of popularizing the metric system in America and England. Golf is stated to cost the United States $50,000,000 a year. That is much cheaper than the European game of ultimatums with their results. Statistics tell us that European armies eat 11,500 tons of food a day. It isn't quite as bad as that, however. They only eat that much when they can get it. One of the horrors of war that should be ended at once is the changing of names of all the cities of a conquered or occupied territory. The old names were bad enough. A Gotham genius has invented a hat that can be turned into an umbrella. The advantage is that nobody would be likely to borrow your hat and forget to return it. An Italian scientist says the dog's tail was formed long before his legs or his paws or his jaws. At the same time, however, his jaws will hold our interest much closer than does his tail.

"Come on, Bill," whispered the old burglar in disgust. "It's no use wasting time here." "Don't you think these lovers will get off the steps soon?" queried the new burglar.

Looking For Information. If there is aught I yearn to know It is the way of womankind— The secret of the smiles which glow, The passing thoughts within her mind; Why fads and follies surely find A welcome warm, yet bring distress.

You can buy a thing cheap if there are no other bidders. Unless you try you will never know what you can't do. After the war—in every country of Europe—the tax collector. Too much will power is overdevelopment on the negative side. The men that talked of the horrors age forgot war and cavalry. Quarrels would not last long if the fault were on one side only. Success seldom comes to a man who is too lazy to meet it halfway. A bond of union is soon formed between brethren in misfortune. The spug ought to find himself in his natural element this Christmas. The amateur strategists are considerable of a war tax in themselves. The man who smiles at adversity can always keep the world guessing. When peace comes it may bear the label "Made In the United States" The hazards of war are almost as great as the perils of arctic exploration. There may be fewer kings in the European deck when this trouble is settled. One thing about the wages of sin is that a man doesn't have to go to law to collect them. Europe's rulers seem to have agreed upon a policy of telling their troubles to Uncle Sam. The football "demon" and "phenom" is mobilizing around many of our centers of learning. Love laughs at locksmiths, but that doesn't necessarily prove that love has a sense of humor. A grouch gets what is left after the cream has been skimmed off the milk of human kindness. More than one of the contestants is beginning to look on the whole affair as an overworked shell game. It is better to be a depositor in the savings banks of America than a plu-tocrat in the capitals of Europe. "Small, hot bullets cause little pain." declares a dispatch. Nobody says as much about large, cold bayonets. The continued silence of the stock ticker has apparently not greatly disturbed the people of this country. The reason a man gets angry in an argument is because the other fellow is too ignorant to agree with him. "I regret to report" is a phrase either tabooed by the commanders or consciously deleted by the censors. "Turn to the right and keep straight ahead" is the only direction that will always take you where you want to go. After wading through the mud of Shantung the Japanese army may start a good roads movement in China. If you wish to preserve strength and freshness, if you wish to make your message clear, be wider than your calling. When you make a mistake do not look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind, then look forward. Mary Garden lost her entire theatrical wardrobe in France. Perhaps some wounded soldier mistook it for a first aid package. When it comes to the test of "bounded on the north by" Johnny will find he knows about as much about it as dear teacher. While hunting for a lost golf ball a Chicagoan died of heart failure. A man who can't afford to lose a ball shouldn't play golf. It is odd and sometimes melancholy to see a man trying to "make up his mind" when he has no material on hand to work with. If you can eat and earn what you eat and can sleep in a bed and room you pay for you are foolish if you are unhappy and grouchy. Switzerland is estimating that it is costing her $300,000 a day to be neutral. But it would cost her a great deal more than that not to be. Turkey's action in tearing up the capitulations has at least introduced another comparatively unfamiliar word in common use to join moratorium and a few other products of the war. As a result of the Baltimore "Star Spangled Banner" celebration an association has been formed "to foster the love of the American flag." That association has tackled about the easiest job of any organization in the United States. The KITCHEN CUPBOARD LUNCHEON MENU. Rolls. Jellied Bouillon. Celery Piquant. Jellied Meat Salad. Rice Cream With Peaches. Tea. A LIGHT and dainty luncheon is the following. It may be conveniently prepared, since most of the ingredients are available at all times in the average household. Other fruit may be substituted for the peach in the desserts. Jellied Bouillon—Take one pound of soup meat, cut into pieces and add just enough water to cover. Let stand for one hour, then cook it slowly until all the nourishment is extracted from the meat. Add salt to taste and a table-spoonful of savory soup herbs. Skim often. Strain and set in a cool place. The more quickly the liquid is cooled the finer the jelly will be. When chilled remove all the fat from the surface, break into small pieces, heap into bouillon cups and serve. Celery Piquant—Take six stalks of well washed celery. Make a stock with chicken bones and five pounds of real bones, seasoning in the usual manner with carrots, onions, bay leaves, parsley, salt and pepper. Place celery in vessel, strain broth over same, boll until soft and then allow to become cool in the broth. When cold press the broth out of the celery and place on plate. Season with salt, fresh ground black pepper, chervil and one-quarter tarragon vinegar to three-quarters of olive oil. Jellied Meat Salad.—Make a scant pint of unsweetened lemon jelly, with powdered gelatin as a basis. When the jelly is cool enough to begin to thicken add a pint or more of highly seasoned cold boiled roast lamb, free of fat and cut into dice. Decorate a wet mold with tiny new boiled carrots, cut according to fancy, turn in the meat mixture and place in the ice chest to harden. Serve as a salad with small, crisp lettuce leaves and an offles dressing. Bice Rice With Peaches—Take a cupful of rice, soak overnight in water and drain in the morning. Cook it in a quart of milk, seasoned with half a teaspoonful of salt, in a double boiler until it is tender. Dissolve a tablespoonful of gelatin in cold water and heat it over hot water until it is clear. Strain into the hot rice. Add a teacupful of sugar. Allow the mixture to cool and add a teacupful of cream, whipped stiff. Pour the whole into a mold. When ready to serve turn out of the mold and encircle the creamed rice with peaches sliced and sugared, or stew the peaches with just enough water to make a rich sirup and serve these ice cold around the creamed rice. Anna Thompson The KITCHEN CUPBOARD ONE of the most delicious home products is a well made apple products is a well made app butter. It is comparatively in- expensive, and in families where there are children it is greatly appreciated. Must Be Well Cooked Clder Apple Butter.—Put cider into a preserving kettle and boil it until reduced to one-third of its original quantity. Peel and slice into it as many apples as it will cover and slimmer, stirring until the fruit is tender. Strain the apples out and add more fruit, proceeding in this way until all the cider has been absorbed. Put the mixture into a stone jar and leave overnight. In the morning return to the fire and boil to a soft brown mass. Put into jars and cover. Old Fashioned Recipe Grandma's Apple Butter.—Boll one gallon of fresh sweet cider to one-half its original quantity. Then fill the kettle with sliced sweet apples and let them simmer gently but steadily all day until reduced to about one-half their original bulk. Stir frequently with a wooden spoon or paddle to prevent their scorching. If not boiled down sufficiently the first day, let cook longer on the second. Pack away in stone or wood lard. An Economical Way: Dark Apple Butter.—Take thirteen quarts of apple juice from the press and boll down to four and a half. Have one bushel of sound, perfect apples pared, cored and cut into eighths, if large, or quarters if small. Put the apples into the liquid and cook until they begin to grow tender; then set where they will cook slowly and stir every few minutes. The kettle should never be set directly over the fire. Cook slowly a long time until a dark smooth mass is obtained. It needs no sweetening and will have that peculiar and agreeable tang that no other preserve, jam or marmalade ever has. It is an old fashioned sauce that needs to be revived and will keep in jars without tight sealing all winter if the storeroom is cold. The ingredients given above should make about ten quarts of butter. Anna Thompson Milady's Mirror A greasy, shiny skin is one of the us to which many of us are liable. One can never manage to look nice with a shiny nose and greasy skin. Don't think that by simply smothering the face all over with powder you will cure this trouble. Try instead this plan: Add a teaspoonful of cloudy ammonia to the water in which you wash. This has a very drying effect upon the skin—not too drying, be it said, but it serves to counteract the excessive action of the pores. Before going out dust a very little powder over your face, but don't dab it on indiscriminately. If you continue putting ammonia in your washing water all through the summer you will find that your skin will lose its tendency to greasiness in due course. The Old Bag Curler There is nothing that will make the hair curl as naturally as the old fashioned rag curlers. However today the fastidious woman is making her curlers out of ribbon, choosing her favorite color for them. Select ribbon three inches wide and eleven inches long. Double this, twist together loosely and sew narrow ribbon of the same shade at each end. After the hair is rolled over the ribbon tie firmly together with the narrow ribbon ends. Make two small flat bows with ends four inches long. Fasten one at each side with the ends plinned down toward the ears and you have almost hidden the curlers except where the color peeps through at intervals. New High Hairdressing. Hairdressing, though it appears to be very simple, is really a most complicated affair nowadays, for unless one has just the right twist to the hair and, above all, just the right kind of big, loose wave now in vogue, the coiffure will not look smart nor quite as it should. High hairdressing brought back from the forehead severely demands some softening feature to make it becoming. This is supplied in the big loose waves which are seen in all the newest coiffures. The hair is marceled lightly in waves, which are large and loose, and while these do not take away from the severe effect now so much in vogue they add greatly to the becoming effect of the new hairdressing. When Feet Are Tired. When one has much walking to do tired and aching feet are the rule rather than the exception. The following plan is exceedingly effective: Before going out for a very long walk rub a little methylated spirit well into the soles of the feet. Do the same on coming in. You have no idea how refreshing it is and how it helps to cure any undue sensitiveness and prevents the formation of bilisters. Never go out for very long walks in very thin silk stockings, for not only is this a most extravagant procedure, walking causing them to wear into holes, but thin stockings are very tiring to the feet. Oatmeal For the Bath If the skin is rough and irritated by heat try the oatmeal bath. Make a number of cheesecloth bags four inches square and fill them loosely with the following mixture: Five pounds of oatmeal, one pound of Florentine orris root (powdered), one pound of almond meal, half pound castile soap scraped fine as powder. This makes a large quantity, but is cheapest when made in these proportions. One of these bags thrown into the warm plunge bath is most comforting and makes the skin soft and white. Brush and Comb Set. A compactly built brush and comb set for traveling has recently made its appearance in the shops. Constructed of white celluloid, it has the back of the comb, which is shorter by about two inches than the average size, hinged together with narrow row of bristles. When not in use the two toilet articles can be laid together flat and tucked into a pocket or compartment of the travelling case. The combination comb and brush, is particularly convenient for train use, as it can be carried in the pocket. Treatment of Brittle Nails Brittle nails are often due to bad health. They should be treated daily with a little pure white vaseline. The vaseline should be well rubbed over and into the nails, and also worked into the under part of the nail just above the finger tip. Hang nails are due to excessive dryness of the skin surrounding the nails. Try rubbing the base of the nails every night with a little good cold cream. That should help to cure them. Cleansing the Hands. Creaminess When the hands are dirty try adding a little sugar to the soap with which they are washed. The sugar increases the lather and also the cleaning power of the soap, and the sugar removes dirt and stains. When You Eat Onions. After eating onions eat a leaf of parsley or drink a glass of milk and the unpleasant smell and taste will at once disappear. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, OCTOBER 3, 1914. TheNationalIndependent Equal Rights League SendsForthItsAddress to the Country AT ITS SEVENTH ANNUAL MEETING RECENTLY HELD AT BETHEL CHURCH, NEW YORK CITY, IT URGED THE AFRO-AMERICANS TO MANFULLY CONTEND FOR THEIR CIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS. IT ADVISED THEM TO LOOK INTO THE RECORDS OF EVERY CONGRESSMAN UP FOR RE-ELECTION AND TO EXACT A PLEDGE FROM HIM THAT HE WILL VOTE AGAINST ALL SEGREGATION MEASURES WHICH MAY BE INTRODUCED IN CONGRESS Meeting at the very time when all Europe is engulfed in bloody war, on which account England will accord freedom to Ireland and suffrage to women, while despotic Russia offers freedom to the Poles and the Finns, and abolition of the pale and the Ghetto and civic disability to the Jew, the National Independent Equal Rights League (formerly "Political")), calls the attention of the 80,000,000 White citizens of the Republic to the disgraceful fact that here in their own native land 12,000,000 suffer more cruel, more insulting proscriptions and persecutions solely for racial extraction than the oppressed of Europe. Organized to battle against race prejudice, in behalf of ourselves we, Colored Americans, say beware to the various state and especially the Federal government, and urge the President of the United States to free his Colored fellow citizens, millions that they are, from the repression, lynching, disfranchisement, Jim-crowism and segregation, even segregation under the Federal government itself, not waiting till the exigencies of some awful war makes the relief an act of expediency, rather than of justice. The wholesale disfranchisement for color in the South, in violation of the Federal constitution, renders the Colored citizen helpless to defend his life, his family, his home, in as cowardly fashion as the barbarous lynchings which are but the worst form of the lawlessness which this very flouting of the Federal law breeds. The Jim-crow car was long the height of anti-democratic wrong and folly. The enactment of laws separating citizens in residence by race, even making it a crime for a man to live in his property, but shows there is no limit to which caste proscription will not be carried by the South if let alone. But all Colored Americans, indeed all Americans who have foreign blood, or who respect democracy, need take alarm at segregation of employees of the National Government at the National capital. By the national petition of Colored Americans presented to the President by a delegation of this league, such injury and insult to Colored Americans in certain department buildings was checked, but checked only. We call upon President Wilson, in accordance with his pre-election pledges and assurances to our delegation, to remove altogether this nationalizing of caste and color prejudice. Against disfranchisement, lynching, segregation, denial of civil and political rights, we protest and shall maintain a struggle in organized strength. We ask for ourselves no favors because of our color, only our rights under the HYDE PARK NOTES By L. W. Washington The Broad Ax is pleased to form the acquaintance of Mr. Randolph Wicker of 709 W. 36th Place, Los Angeles, California, who has been making a visit here with Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Brown and Mr. and Mrs. Mathew Coleman, his sisters-in-law who reside at 5526 Englesie Ave. Mr. Wicker was very much pleased with our beautiful city and declares that he had a very pleasant stay, also Mr. Harris. Remember the new registration voter, see to it that your name is on the books, keep this in mind, don't say "I should worry," but do your duty as a citizen, remember the franchise-register. Mrs. Ben Williams has returned home from her visit in Louisville, Ky. Where "Old acquaintance ne'r forgotten" were met and relatives gave her a very pleasant reception. The St. PaulBaptist church gave a sacred concert which was enjoyed by all who attended the services, Sunday evening. The Rev. W. B. Baber of the Michigan Conference, Wabash, Ind., preached Sunday evening at the Hyde Park A. M. E. church to a very fine audience. His subject was "Steadfastness" the body of his theme was taken from Hebrew XII. First and second verses, he was an able speaker, and made an effective talk. constitution and the same treatment that all other Americans, even the foreign-born, receive. Nor shall we cease until all citizens in every state shall have impartial suffrage, full civil rights, and trial by jury when accused of crime. We advocate the enforcement of the Federal constitution, the placing of lynching in the category of Federal crimes, the abolition of legal color segregation, and Federal aid to education in the Southern states with impartial distribution. Colored citizens know that prescription for race is an enormity, visited upon them alone in this country, and we warn them that they should insistently agitate and campaign against it; that only by organization can they effectively combat it. Only by being a strongly organized group under trained Colored leaders can we either secure full rights, or keep rights once gained. The ballot is the citizen's weapon, and we urge the use of it for self-defense, voting independently for our rights and liberties and not for the welfare of a party, voting for true men and sound measures. We extend greetings to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people and the Constitution League, and appreciate their efforts to better our condition. We thank Congressmen T. C. Thacher and A. J. Peters of Massachusetts for securing the audience for our delegation and opposing segregation. We advise Colored voters to look into the records of every Congressman up for reelection, to make an issue of the color segregation practiced by certain cabinet officers and encoubled in bills already introduced into Congress. Find out where each candidate stands on these anti-Negro bills and the anti-intermarriage bill and act accordingly. We advise that another delegation be sent to President Wilson to ascertain whether he will eliminate Federal segregation. Next to segregation denial of employment for color is America's greatest inhumanity. For Colored Americans the attempt to establish a permanent caste of color is the gravest danger. So deep-seated is this movement that we warn our fellows against accepting the segregation of philanthropy in the North, as the last analysis all segregation is akin and non-legal paves the way, and is pleaded as an excuse for legal segregation. To all Americans we appeal for justice and fair play in the land of our birth. The Hyde Park Women's Charity Club met at Mrs. Lee's residence, No. 5615 Harper Ave. The members were highly intertained and had a very pleasant time. This club stands for something, it means something, and is really doing some good for the poor of Hyde Park. Mrs. Coraine Collins and son left for their home in Uniontown, Ala., after spending the summer here visiting her brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. John Webb of 5535 Kimbark Ave. The Hyde Park A. M. E. Church of 5539 Harper Ave., has moved to 5624 Lake Park Ave. Mrs. Simmons of 5473 Kimbark Ave., is the proud mother of a fine girl. The Broad Ax is very sorry to learn that the father is unable to greet the offspring, because of his interment at the County hospital. As we go to press we are very sorry to learn that Mrs. Jessie Reece of Blackstone Ave., has been reported as being very sick. The Broad Ax wishes her a speedy recovery.

General Joseph Joffre, who has been placed in supreme command of the French army, was trained as an engineer. General Joffre is sixty-two years old. Among the men who passed the examination for M. D. at the Vienna university last winter was a well known retired jurist aged seventy. His name is Eduard Eder von Feyler. Field Marshal Sir John Denton Pinkstone French, commander in chief of the British field army, joined the navy in 1866 and served as a cadet for four years. He entered the army in 1874. Sigurdur Eggerz, appointed minister to Iceland by the king of Denmark, has been for two years a member of the alting and has always voted with the home rule party. He is a jurist and for some years has been the judge and revenue officer of the district of Skaptafell, on the southwest coast of Iceland. General Helmuth mouth von Moltke, chief of the German general staff and commander in chief of all the German forces, was born in 1848 in Gersdorf, Mecklenburg. On the death of Field Marshal von Moltke, his uncle, in 1891 he became aid-d-camp to the kaiser. In 1896 he became major general and commandant at Potsdam. He has been chief of the general staff of the army since Feb. 16, 1904. Pert Personals.

In the event of disablement these are useful for purposes of identification. PAGE FIVE The KITCHEN CUPBOARD GREEN TOMATO RELISHES. GREEN tomatoes may be used in the preparation of many relishes for the winter table. Some excellent recipes for these are given here. Tomatoes With Celery. Tomato and, Celery Relish. - Take eighteen ripe tomatoes. Remove leaves and root ends from five bunches of celery. Wipe two red peppers, cut up vegetables, mix, put in a preserving kettle and add two and one-fourth cupfuls of sugar, one and one-half cupfuls of vinegar, two tablespoonfuls of salt and one teaspoonful each of cloves, allspice, cinnamon, mustard and celery seed. Bring slowly to the boiling point and let simmer one and one-half hours, stirring occasionally. Bottle and seal while hot. Chill Sauce. -Take twelve medium sized ripe tomatoes, wipe and peel and cut in slices. Put in a preserving kettle and add one pepper, wiped and finely chopped, one onion, skinned and finely chopped; two cupfuls of vinegar, three tablespoonfuls of sugar, one tablespoonful of salt, two teaspoonfuls each of ground cloves, cinnamon, allspice and grated nutmeg. Mix and heat to boiling point and let simmer two and one-half hours. This Is Highly Seasoned. Chowchow.—Take one peck of green tomatoes, four heads of cabbage chopped fine, one peck of small cucumbers, two heads of chopped cauliflower, one quart of small green bean pods, one pint of pepper pods, one-half gallon of small whole onions or large ones chopped fine. Put each of the ingredients in salt water and let simmer fifteen minutes, but do not allow them to boll. After they are thoroughly drained, put them together in a jar and pour over them one gallon of good vinegar, six tablespoonfuls of ground mustard, one ounce of tumeric and a little salt if necessary. Put a weight on them and set in a cool place. Flavored With Fruit. Apple and Green Tomato Chutney.

Then add a dozen tart apples, pared, cored and quartered, and cook slowly until soft. Beat thoroughly and bottle. Anna Thompson. The KITCHEN GUPBOARD FOR THE HOME DINNER. DINNER MENU. Potato Chowder. Browned Potatoes. Neapolitan Veal Cutlet. Parsnips Parisienne. Combination Salad. Brown Bread. Apple Pudding. Coffee. SIMPLE yet tempting dinner menu is the following: Potato Chowder. — Take six large potatoes, pare and slice thinly. Chop one onion and two large slices of bacon. Fry the bacon and onion together, using care that they do not brown. Put a layer of the potatoes in a baking dish. Cover with the onion and bacon, a little minced parsley, salt and pepper. Add the rest of potatoes. Then cover with a pint of milk in which has been stirred one tablespoonful of flour rubbed well with one tablespoonful of butter. Cover the baking dish and cook one-half hour. Neapolitan Veal Cutlet.—Take two tablespoonfuls of olive oil and one scant tablespoonful of lard. Place in a frying pan, and when hot put in one good sized onion and two cloves of garlic, both chopped, and brown slightly. Push them back to the side of the pan and put into the hot pan the cutlet slightly beaten. Brown it on both sides, and when brown add half a can of tomatoes and seasoning as follows: Salt, pepper, one saltspoon cinnamon, one-half teaspoonful sugar. Let simmer two hours. Serve on a hot dish garnished with sprigs of fresh parsley. Parsnips Parisienne—Take three or four parsnips, the juice of a lemon, one egg, some breadcrumbs and one table-spoonful of chopped parsley. Peel and wash the parsnips and, if large, cut in half. Cook in plenty of boiling water containing a little salt and lemon juice. When tender take out and drain, brush with well beaten egg, roll in crumbs and put on greased baking pan in a hot oven to brown quickly, sprinkling with the parsley. Serve in a pyramid with melted butter sauce. Apple Pudding--Stew apples that have been pared, cored and quartered until they are a pulp; beat and add to every pint of pulp a half cupful of sugar, one-fourth cupful of butter, one-half cupful of breadcrumbs and three eggs, well beaten separately. Bake one-half hour. Serve with cream, though the pudding is good by itself with a little powdered sugar sifted over the top. A pint of pulp is the foundation of a pudding for four persons. PAGE SIX Queen Amelie of Portugal an Enthusiastic Red Cross Worker. Mary EX-QUEEN AMELIE OF PORTUGAL. One of the most enthusiastic Red Cross workers in England is ex-Queen Amelie of Portugal, who is a princess of the exiled royal family of France. Her great grandfather was Louis Philippe, the citizen king of France, whose reign came to a violent end in 1848. Her father, the Comte de Paris, was heir to the throne, and her eldest brother, the Duc de Orléans, is known as the French pretender. Queen Amelie, who has resided in England since her son, ex-King Manuel, lost the throne of Portugal, is a clever and amiable woman. She has studied nursing and holds a degree in medicine. As soon as the present war broke out she offered her services to France, as did her two brothers also. While thanking them for the offer, the French government suggested that they co-operate with the English, as there is a law that forbids scions of former royal houses to return to France. STIFFENING BRISTLES. Treatment With Ammonia and Salt Restores Their Elasticity. Bristles that have lost their stiffness may be restored by washing them in hot water to which has been added about two teaspoonfuls of ammonia, then dipping them in water to which salt has been added. Dry the brush in the open air with the bristles up. Washing the brush in warm water to which a little ammonia has been added is an effectual way of cleansing a brush and one that is not likely to make the bristles too soft. It is not necessary to immerse the whole brush; merely hold the bristles below the surface of the water, and you will be surprised at the ease with which it will be cleansed of grease and dust. Another excellent method for the weekly cleaning and one which probably will not wear the brush out so quickly is the use of dry bran. Rub the bran in thoroughly, afterward combing and shaking it out. It will remove all grease and will leave the bristles firm. This should be done at least once a week. Hand tooled leather is very popular this season. It is used for matinee bags, hand bags and purses. Two dainty coin purses of the leather are A DAIRY NEW COOK PUSHER. here pictured. They are decorated with the popular butterfly pattern. Chamols leather is rather expensive, so that it is just as well to know how to clean it. Put it in a weak solution of soda into which you have thrown some grated soap. Leave it for two hours and then rub it until clean. Finally rinse the leather in warm, soapy water. Wring the leather in a linen cloth and dry quickly. It can also be rubbed dry and brushed until soft. Milady Wears the Skin of the King of the Jungle. 1 TIGER SKIN COAT. Barbaric elegance is suggested by the very smart coat of tiger skin here pictured. The high collar, wide belt and sloped line of the wrap are all on the most advanced lines. Fur and velvet coats are of voluminous proportions. The long fur coat is always more interesting in appearance than the short one. And the early models, with wide, faring skirts, often edged with a contrasting fur, are especially luxurious looking. Some of the new evening cloaks are made of velvet or velours and are cut on very generous lines. HARMONIOUS COLOR SCHEMES In Working These Out a Pretty Rug Gives Charm to the Barest Room. Every room in the house should have a color scheme, walls, hangings, furniture, carpets or rugs so harmonizing as to give a delightful and restful effect. Whatever this color scheme may be, a good rug is a crowning point of beauty, adding a charm to the barest room which nothing else can give. Oriental rugs are most popular and wear better than any, the price varying according to size and design. And, though rather expensive, they are not out of reach of the average moderate income, for, once purchased, they will wear for years and years. Deal with a firm of good repute that can show selections of various kinds and guarantee the wear of each. Japanese rugs can be bought in charming shades to tone with almost any color. For bedrooms they are particularly suitable, either in color combined with white or in the one tone color now so much in demand. The Japanese jute rugs come in handy for laying in front of washstands or for use out of doors. They are cheap, but do not wear as well, as the edges fray rather easily. DOMESTIC SCIENCE. To prevent a silk skirt from cracking press it all over with a hot iron before wearing it. One of several ways of stiffening the bristles of brush; after washing is to dip them into a mixture of equal quantities of milk and water and then dry before the fire. Always put scrubbing brushes to dry with the bristles face downward. This lengthens their lives considerably, as if dried the other way the water naturally soaks into the wood and rots the bristles. To remove paper labels from old bottles easily wet the face of the label with water and hold it for an instant over any convenient flame. The steam formed penetrates the label at once and softens the paste. Silk handkerchiefs should be washed in a warm lather, made with pure soap. This should be blued, as should the rinsing water. Roll up tightly in a cloth and iron the handkerchiefs between linen or they will turn yellow. Destroy the smell of paint by placing pailfuls of cold water in the rooms which are being painted. Change the water night and morning, and, when possible, add a handful of hay to the water in each pail. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, OCTOBER 3, 1914. Dainty Handmade Band to Take the Place of the Leather One. ```markdown ``` BAND FOR BABY'S CARRIAGE. The accessories for the perambulator, the little carriage in which baby takes his airing, should always be as dainty as possible. The little pillows may be lace trimmed or hand embroidered. The coverlet may match these or carry out, some other design. The strap that keeps the little tot from falling out may also be hand made. All these pretty things may be fashioned at home. The shops where they are sold charge very high prices for most of them. The carriage strap illustrated here is of wide satin ribbon, neatly gathered and lined with a plain piece of the satin ribbon of a paler shade. The edges are trimmed with frills of valenciennes lace. Clusters of satin ribbon rosebuds are knotted along the length of the band, while the ends of the band are finished with coquettish knots of narrow ribbon. A little sachet powder sprinkled inside of the band before the two pieces of ribbon are fastened together will add to its daintiness. SUMPTUOUS COSTUMES. Evening Gowns of Rich and Dazzling Fabrics Interwoven With Pearls. For afternoon and evening gowns Paris has advised a figure hung in garments as dazzling and sumptuous as those of a Byzantine princess. These rich materials refute any possibility of a country undergoing "hard time." Hopes and trimming of pearls, crystal and rhinestone rival jet and nacre or the new mother-of-pearl. The ball gown of winter is to be conceived in mousseline perle. The interwoven heads of the bodice material are so heavy that they cause the silk to droop in deep folds, which are caught at the center by narrow straps. The underdress, entraine, is made of heavy net, interwoven with silver threads and pearls, and the overdress is trimmed with appliques of silver embroidery. WRAPS OF THE SEASON. Corduroy and golf cord are among the favorite corded fabrics. Bedford cord is very desirable for heavy things, like waistcoats in capes and coats. If you have an old lace shawl packed away in a cedar chest bring it to light. You may wear it in capellike fashion with your white or other evening frocks. One of the prettiest of the new capes is a raven's wing silk that reaches the hem of the gown, falling in long, straight folds and gathered into an upstanding frill around the neck. A cape of knitted wool, attached by snaps to a sleeveless wool waistcoat, is a novelty that is attracting a good deal of attention among people who like a light weight but warm and compact wrap for outdoor sports. Some of the sweaters being displayed in the shops recall the jerseys of thirty and more years ago. Like those of the past, they extend well down over the hips and button straight up the front with self covered buttons. So far many of the coats shown button rather snugly about the throat. One heavy coat of mixed black and gray, in a soft, thick cloth, shows a wrinkled collar of black velvet, and the fur collars fold close about the neck. having this enormous outlet, we are in a position to buy in unusually large quantities direct from the manufacturers.

For the Children Master Possum is a Queer Little Beast. One of the queerest animals that have their home in the United States is the opossum, usually abbreviated to possum in the southern part of the country, where he is best known. He is the only member of the marsupial family known outside of Australia, although there are many species of his family in Central and South America. The possum as we know him is about the size of a cat. His head is long, muzzle pointed, and he has a long prehensile tail. That is the little animal that can use his tail as a sort of fifth foot. He is able to grasp the limb of a tree with it and frequently hangs from it suspended head down. The flesh of the possum is considered a delicacy in the southern states, where it is baked and eaten with roasted sweet potatoes. One of the peculiar things about the possum is that when threatened with harm he pretends to be dead. The expression "playing possum" comes from this trait of the animal. The illustration shows a possum in a tree. He was snapped in Pennsylvania. Farmers say that possums are great poultry thieves. Perhaps some of our young friends who live where he thrives know whether he is or not. Game of Jumbles. Each person selects the name of some bird, fish or animal and quickly jumbles the letters so as to spell other words. Thus one choosing hippopotamus might make out of the letters map hoop sit up, a panther might become hen part, while porpoise might turn to a sire pop. When all are ready each player may, in turn, read his "confusion" to the rest of the party and note carefully how long they are in guessing. Since the one wins whose puzzle takes longest to guess, it is important to mix the letters as much as possible. If preferred, sides may be chosen after each player is ready with his jumble. The first player on the left side then offers his puzzle to all the players on the right side to be guessed. Next the offer comes from the first player on the right side to those on the left, and so on alternately, giving each player his turn. A timekeeper marks the exact number of minutes and seconds for each guess. If there are only a few players each may offer two or more jumbles. When all have been guessed the side whose total guessing time is least is the winner. Show Your Knowledge Show Your Knowledge. Each of these sentences suggests an author's name. Can you guess them?

Game of Homonyms In this game two persons are sent from the room and they select two words which are pronounced alike but have different meanings, such as bear-bare, see-sea, etc. Suppose they settle upon the words bear and bare. Then they re-enter the room, and one says, thinking of bear, "It has a thick coat." The other says, thinking of bare, "It has no coat at all." Then they continue to contradict each other, telling the truth about his own word, until the players guess what the word is. The first one guessing must choose his partner and leave the room to think up another homonym, and the game is repeated till the children want to play something else. The Offended Bee. A fairy sat in a buttercup To rest for a little while. Her weary wings were folded up In quite the latest style. The soft breeze rocked her tenderly Until she fell asleep. And by and by a hungry bee Came near enough to peep. He burzed around the tiny sprite, As cross as cross could be To think a fairy should have slipped His honey for her tea. Out came his sting, but just in time The fairy showed her head. And when he saw her magic wand The bee in terror fled. Cookery Notes In addition to potatoes, cucumbers and tomatoes, the usual salad vegetables, let us remember how good are cold peas and especially haricot beans if served this way; then French beans, runner beans and especially those delicate white varieties of haricot beans with the yellow pod and white bean; young carrots boiled and left till cold, cold asparagus, sprigs of cauliflower and crisp celery—all these may be served singly or in company with each other. A very appetizing salad, excellent as a digestive, is of small capsicums, taken rather unripe. They should be split lengthwise and laid in cold water for some hours to reduce the pungency, then drained and torn into pieces. Shred some crisp lettuce leaves, chop a small onion and slice one or two tomatoes. Lay the lettuce within the bowl first, then the tomatoes, next the capsicums, and sprinkle the onion over. Finally pour over one of the above sauces or ordinary mayonnaise. A vegetable salad where a mayonnaise sauce is used for the dressing should have this poured over on the minute before it is brought to table; otherwise it may separate and the vegetables get sodden. Any kind of garnishing that is suitable may be used—rings of hard boiled egg, nasturtium flowers or leaves and especially chopped nasturtium seeds, sprigs of fennel, parsley, etc. Seled Dressings Minus Oil. The success of vegetable salads depends entirely upon the sauce or dressing. The ordinary salad dressing of oil and vinegar, pepper and salt is not sufficient for a vegetable salad. The cook who finds mayonnaise a difficulty will be helped by following an old recipe for salad dressing the foundation of which is two boiled potatoes, passed through a kitchen sleeve, and also the addition of the pounded yolks of two hard boiled eggs. If these ingredients are mixed gradually and slowly with two, three or four spoonfuls of oil, one or two of vinegar and made mustard, salt and pepper at discretion the result cannot fall to be a smooth, rich, creamy sauce that will offend no one, as badly made mayonnaise must always do. Another sauce for a salad dressing which will appeal to those who cannot take oil is the following: A yolk of egg taken raw and beaten with a teaspoonful of mustard, a saltspoonful of salt, one-half of a saltspoonful of pepper and a whole teaspoonful of white sugar. Mix in gradually sufficient thick cream to make enough dressing, and, lastly, work in a tablespoonful of vinegar drop by drop. For Tough Steaks If your steak seems tough lay it on a chopping board and beat it well with a rolling pin. This will break up the fibers and do away with the toughness. Another way of softening it is to soak it in vinegar for a few minutes. The vinegar flavors it deliciously as well as making it tender. It is a good plan to keep steak for a few days before cooking it, but you must remember that it is no use trying to do so after it has been cut into pieces, or the juice will trickle out and escape. If it is not whole you had better cook it at once and risk the toughness. Chuck steak is good and reasonable in price. Undercut and fillet are more expensive and delicate. Penners For Winter. Sweet peppers may be kept for winter's use in several ways. One is to salt them away. Wash and wipe whole sweet peppers and tie tight in a cheese-cloth bag; place in a stone jar and fill it up with cold water, salted, allowing four tablespoonfuls of salt to each quart of water. When needed freshen by soaking in fresh soft warm water. Keep them in a cold place. Another scheme is to dry them. Wash and dry the peppers thoroughly. String them on heavy thread or tie and knot each stem with twine (not close enough to touch) and hang the strings in a dry place until the moisture has evaporated. Later, if preferred, they can be tied in bags and hung up. Fresh Tomatoes For Winter. Gather smooth, ripe tomatoes in the fall. Select those without broken skins, wipe them off clean and put them in stone jars; melt lard, let it cool and pour it over them, covering them well; set jar in cellar. When taking them out for use save the lard, melt and pour back over the remaining ones. In this way you have fresh tomatoes all winter. English Jam. To a pound of fruit allow a pound of sugar and let all stand awhile to draw the juice out of the fruit. Put on the fire to cook without adding water. Cook until it will jelly when cold. It does not need to be sealed; it will keep without. Just tie a cloth or paper over the top of the jar when you set it away. Cooking Vegetables When cooking vegetables remember that all vegetables which grow above ground should be put into boiling water, and all which grow underground in cold water, with the exception of new potatoes.
