THE MO CAIRO ILLINOIS APPOINTS SAS LYNCHES TWO. BLACK INSURGENT THE LYNCHING SPIRIT. There is some consolation, but not much, in the calling of a grand jury at Cairo, Ill., by Judge William N. Butler for the purpose of "probing into the lawlessness and mob violence" in Alexander county. Almost in the same breath comes the report of a horrible crime from Arkansas, which reveals the white man's spirit robbed of the thin veneer of civilization. An Arkansas mob takes two Negro men and a woman from jail, charged with being implicated in a jail delivery, and whipped them unmercifully, returned the woman to jail, hanging the two men. A jury returned a verdict of suicide. Here is a piteous spectacle, a travesty and a mockery of justice. The verdict of the jury is so ridiculous that one is surprised that the judge did not cite them for contempt. There may or may not be cause to justify the rousing of such savage defiance of law, but nowhere in history can a parallel be found. The readiness to grab the first Negro met in the street and the general "driving to quarters" all except the victim, indicates sport rather than "an honest seeking the ends of justice." The depraved and vicious Negro is rare. There may be here and there a few "bad ones," but the great mass of Negro criminals are petty thieves and immoral debauchees, justifying a good, sound threshing, if anything. But this growth of lynching has reached the point where the Negro himself must take a hand in its suppression, so far as he and his people are concerned. The better element of our people, and they outnumber the bad, must not only let the bad Negro know he is a menace to the race's progress, but the better class of whites must be given to understand that, in the enforcement of all laws, they shall have their moral and material support. The conditions in Cairo will hardly be affected by the probing of a grand jury, any more than the conditions in Arkansas. There must be a spirit of justice and fair play aroused. The idea that a Negro must be lynched for every petty crime is absurd and needs only the co-operation of the better element of both races to be a thing of the past. In this day mob violence and unpleasant exhibitions --- of racial feeling do not grow out of the ballot box. It is the legitimate result of conditions of reconstruction, assisted by present jealousy over the race's progress. But keep lifting. THE TAFT POLICY. The administration at Washington seems to be having an ocean of trouble with the insurgents. The spectacle of the mighty struggle between the "stand patters" and the "insurgents" or "anti-Cannon" element, afford something refreshing and decidedly interesting to the lookers on, and a pretty good lesson for Negro. That the present situation in Congress does not indicate a very sanguine outlook for the administration seems evident. The insurgent Republicans come from the Middle West and from states strongly Republican. These men we elected as known insurgents, and it is very probable that their constituent will support their present belligerent attitude. The Colorado Statesman, always Republican, refrained from commenting on the Taft policy as announced by the president shortly before inauguration, our interest being especially centered in his attitude towards the Negro, which was "to appoint colored men to positions among their own race." This is practically equivalent to refusing the Negro, a place among the appointments. This determination did not grow out of any ill feeling towards the race, but it was announced in response to the spirit of conciliating the South. It has spread into all parts of the government service, even where controlled by civil service. There was Bundy, the Ohio Negro, who successfully passed the consular examination, told when he applied to the state department. With this bit of Taft policy in mind, we wonder what Negro insurgents would look like in the next campaign. There are places where they would make Republican leaders do a "Highland fling," beside which Speaker Cannon's late stunt would be as mild as a parlor two step. COMING WEST. The recent high price of foodstuffs and the unusual hard winter all over the land has roused a spirit among our people in the Eastern DENVER. COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 26 1910. State Hist & Nat Hist Books State House onizing The ADC E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, and Northern cities to seek homes in the West. Other conditions are forcing them to leave the South. Some, and we hope a great many, of our people will cross Missouri, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska to find a home in Colorado. Here are thousands of acres of fine grazing and farming land awaiting the settler. These lands are sufficiently close to market to render marketing easy and remunerative returns are promised abundantly. With the tide of immigration westward, it is up to us to get our share of the good citizens. The business men of our people must get busy. Something else is needed beside car rides to points of interest about town, with a social stunt "thrown in," to get good settlers. We want more farmers. And to get them our men must know the soil and its resources better than they know haunts of pleasure. Let us put a premium on "doing business" this year. POLITICAL ELIMINATION OF THE NEGRO. How Stands the Administration? On the date upon which President Taft appeared before the Wilberforce Club of the District of Columbia, in the interest of the development of the work of the university and spoke out so strongly and eloquently for higher as well as all sorts of education for the Negro, there appeared in an afternoon paper a lengthy article, whose theme and purpose offered the strongest contrast to the worthy sentiments of the executive. The article, with the caption, "Offer of Solution" conspicuously displayed, purported to reflect the views of Mr. Dickinson, the secretary of war, and no less so, as the impression goes, the attitude of the administration on the much discussed Negro question. Among other things of similar purport, it says: "Secretary Dickinson believes the best solution of the so-called Negro problem is the entire elimination of that race from politics, and he has made that the basis of his arguments in several recent public addresses." The contrast of sentiment, either actual or implied, with due regard for the seeming authority with which it is spoken, is such as may well warrant a feeling of uneasiness on the part of that tenth of the American citizenship known as "Negro." The just and kindly words of Mr. Taft with their ring of hope and their promise of help and encouragement are distinctly a valuable asset in the struggle of a race to bring its average up to the level of industrious, intelligent and enlightened citizenship. The doctrine of political elimina- --- tion is no new creed and its subscribers and sympathizers are aggressive as well as numerous. It has its supporters in all grades and classes of society and finds ready apologists in those of selfish ambition within the race who yield the integrity of racial manhood and willing sacrifice to the selfish greed of individual preferment. To what extent this latter class is responsible for the growth of this political effacement of the Negro propaganda, is difficult to determine. Certain it is, however, that this influence must be quite considerable, for with those of the other race who support the proposition, it figures, and quite properly so, as the very strongest argument in its behalf. Such acquiescence on the part of those who, from position or education, would seem to absorb the character of leadership, should not in any sense be taken as indicating the great volume of racial opinion on this great subject. Indeed, it may be quite reasonably affirmed that the contrary is overwhelmingly the case. The great body of Negroes, old and young alike, are emphatically opposed to this doctrine. To be sure, they have been driven to the acceptance of unwelcome conditions on the theory that "what can't be cured, etc.," but they nevertheless are unalterably wedded to the principles of equality of privilege and of justice for all men. The words of the president on the occasion referred to were wholesome and full of a special optimism that should go far toward encouraging and sustaining the Negro in his struggle toward a higher and nobler civic life. He said that every class of knowledge or information that was good for other races, was good for the Negro. He said every race needed leaders and that it is essential that those leaders be educated as broadly and as thoroughly as may be possible. Although the subject of political equality was not touched upon,—to the intelligent mind the inference must be quite evident, for who would think of investing a man with the key to the storehouse of classified knowledge and at the same time bold and double-bar the door against the exercise of civic privilege? It is too absurd. Mr. Dickinson must have been misrepresented, in so far as he is said to have spoken for the administration, or evidently the attitude of the administration must have been misrepresented. JONATHAN COVER. There are now attending the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, between 80 and 100 Afro-American students. They come from all parts of the country. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Havana, Cuba, March 14.—Juen Guelberto Gomez, after three times refusing the appointment, has agreed to act as a member of Cuba's Commission to the International Congress of American Republics in the place of the Vice-President of Cuba, who has definitely announced that he will be unable to accept the honor. Charlotte, N. C., March 15.—The Charlotte Daily Observer, which is by long odds the strongest daily paper published in North Carolina, has come out in an editorial strongly urging that Negro policemen be appointed in the large cities in the State of North Carolina. This is quite a new move and is indicative of progress. Hartford, Conn., March 15.—A meeting of a number of the Negro citizens of Hartford was held recently for the purpose of forming an organization whose purpose will be to endeavor to found a home for the Negro boys of Connecticut, having connected herewith a large farm to furnish employment for the boys. The name of the organization as decided Wednesday evening is the Connecticut Colored Boys' Association. The project was originated by J. W, Dowden, head janitor at the union railroad station. Bert A. Williams, late star of the Mr. Lode of Koal Company, has decided to become a vaudevillian for a number of weeks, at least. He will fill a two weeks' engagement at Hammerstein's Victoria Theatre, commencing March 28. His contract calls for a salary exceeding $1,000 a week, and he will head both bills. The comedian is showing business ability in this instance, as he is to receive a much larger sum for doing two a day than last season. Chicago, March 14.—Hon. Edward H. Wright, a colored man of this city, ex County Commissioner of Cook County, and also a former Clerk of the South Town of Chicago' has been nominated by the Republicans as a candidate for Alderman of the Second Ward. If colored voters in the Seeond Ward are loyal to their race, and stand by a man of their race, Mr. Wright will be elected next month by an overwheming majority. Lieut. Benjamin O. Davis, Military Attache of the United States NO.28 at Monrovia, Liberia, is still in Washington awaiting instructions from the State Department. Minister Ernest Lyon is making his headquarters in Baltimore, but no intimation is being given as to the time when he is expected to sail for his post. It is presumed that the government's Liberian representatives are to be held here until the details of the Wall Street loan are closed up. Dr. Lyon again denies the report that he is an aspirant for the Registership of the Treasury. Mr. Charles Southers, an Afro-American of Indianaplis, Ind., has the honor of being the first of his race to enter the aviation field. He has invented an airship which carried easily 12 passengers, and could, if necessary, support three or four others. Mr. Southers is also the inventor of a combination cannon ball which is composed of several cannon balls, the outer shell of which explodes successive after having traveled a mile. Mayor Gavnor has named Chief Edward E. Lee a member of the official Roosevelt Reception Committee which will welcome the former chief executive of the United States from his trip in Africa. Chief Lee, who is head of the United Colored Democracy, aside from his political affiliations, is widely known for his interest in young men coming from the South seeking employment. Many of the Negro physicians now practicing in New York and other parts of the country owe their start in life to him. Chief Lee is a great admirer of Dr Booker T. Washington. He is prominent in many organizations, and, while a busy man, it is said he always finds time to serve his people. Chicago, March 22.—Jack Johnson may be a politician. While the heavyweight champion is in New York preparing to defend himself against the charges in the Norman Pinder case, arrangements are being completed here today for the appearance of the black pugilist as a speaker in the coming councilmatic campaign. Johnson's services will be enlisted in behalf of Edward Wright, aldermatic candidate in the "black belt" ward. The appearance of Johnson in the campaign has alarmed the Republican leaders who see in it a scheme to elect a Negro to the city council, something that has never occurred in the city's history. Always Staunch And True The Denver Republican has al- ways avoided the fallacies and knaveries of yellow journalism, and its steadily increasing Circula- tion proves conclusively that its policy of telling the plain Truth without exaggeration or misrepre~ sentation, standing fast for the Right, is heartily approved with growing force by the intelligent Public to which it appeals. To read it is a liberal Education, and the citizen who goes without it does a positive harm to himself, to his family, and to the commu- nity. In no other way can the invest- ment of 2% cents per day —for that is all The Republican costs any subscriber—bring such rich results in that Knowledge which is both Power and Pleasure. Information, instruction and en- tertainment fill its columns and it leaves a good taste in the mouth of the reader. It stands for Law and Order in the State—for Peace, Prosperity and Happiness in the Home. *If you are not already enrolled among its splendid list of Patrons send on your subscription and give it a fair trial at 75 cents per month for Daily and Sunday.

WISE and manly is the protest-sent to the Superintendent of the Census by Prof. Richard T. Greener, of Chicago, lawyer and ex-consul to Vladevostok, Russia, against the use of accustomed but useless terms of distinction intended to be employed in the taking of the next census. They are the terms "white," "black," "mulatto," etc. Prof. Greener points out that the use of these terms serves no purpose except "to perpetuate a pariah class, based upon a difference in complexion." "Statistics based on such data are defective, useless and as superfluous as all such enumerations have been in the past," says Mr. Greener. The director of the census, in reply, says that it was evidently the intent of Congress that the census should distinguish between whites, blacks, mulattoes and Indians, and that he is guided by the law. The protest, however, will awaken thought upon the subject, and perhaps lead to the creation of a sentiment which will ripen before another census is authorized by a thoughtless congress. For a few purposes, perhaps, race distinctions are useful in census reports, where different races are largely represented in the same country, but there is no more reason why Negroes or colored people should be divided into classes distinguishable by grades of color, than there is that white people should be designated in the census as brunettes or blondes. The chief intent is to distinguish between nationalities and not complexions, and every scientific, sensible or otherwise useful purpose would be better served by the elimination of all specifying terms, such as "white," "black" and "mulatto." IRRIGATING RATES. IRRIGATION is as dear to the heart of the Denverite who loves green grass and foliage as it is to the average ranchman who depends upon it for his crops. A lawn to make the front yard look inviting or the back yard home-like, is a presumed luxury in which we like to indulge, probably with the feeling that it recalls and meets conditions we knew away back East. And the close observer will tell you that Denver yards and Denver lawns, when cared for, are considerably more beautiful than the yards of many an Eastern city, in spite of the presumption that nature provides more favorable forces on behalf of the rainblessed sections of the country, which goes to show that upon our naturally sandy soil we use water lavishly for this purpose, as well as for others. Again, the presumption arises, therefore, that this largely indulged privilege costs us more than it costs the residents of other cities and other sections, and that the Denver Union Water Company, necessarily or unnecessarily, thereby adds an unusual burden to our cost of living. The present discussion of the water question is proving enlightening in a great many ways and bringing some pleasant surprises to those who have been disposed to think their every obligation burdensome, but among them all no surprise can be greater nor more agreeable than the unquestionable proof that we pay lower irrigation rates than the average rate paid in cities all over the country, and a considerably lower rate than that paid in many of the large cities of the East, where the water supply, filtered or unfiltered, is often provided by a great river or lake located right at the city portals. It is not to be presumed that these other cities make any great overcharge for this service, for their residents can too easily dispense with it, if necessary, and still have presentable lawns, nor that the service causes any danger of exhaustion of the cities' necessary supply, for in every case that supply is practically inexhaustible. Nevertheless, the annual rate in Denver for irrigating a twenty-five-foot front is $5.50, while the average rate in one hundred of the principal cities of the country having populations of over 100,000 is $5.85. Omaha, our close neighbor on the East, charges her citizens $10.00 even for this privilege; Milwaukee, with the whole of Lake Michigan to draw upon, makes a rate of $11.50; Galveston-by-the-sea charges $10.00, while Nashville increases hers to the bargain-counter price of $10.41; the latter rate is duplicated by Birmingham, the iron city of Alabama, while Macon, Ga., and St. Paul, Minn., citizens pay $12.00. Memphis, on the Mississippi river, makes her rate $11.25; Pittsburg, while charging only $1.00 per annum for a bath room, raises the rate for irrigating privileges to $15.00. Only a few large cities make rates lower than the Denver rate. Among them are Boston at $5.00, Indianapolis at $4.50, and Buffalo at $4.00. That the rates in the East are probably influenced to some extent by the power or other conditions of the water plants would seem to be proved by the great difference between the rates in Minneapolis and St. Paul, two cities similarly situated, only five or ten miles apart and often called the twin cities: The rate in Minneapolis is $6.00 and that in St. Paul $12.00, but both are well above the Denver rate of $5.50. This rate is 35c less than the average rate for the one hundred cities scheduled recently in these columns, and it furnishes indisputable proof of the astonishingly favorable conditions existing here, as well as of the perfection of the plant by which such favorable comparisons are made possible. THE RECORD DOES NOT BEAR OUT PATTERSON'S DEFENSE. Last Saturday former Senator T. M. Patterson appeared at the luncheon given by the Citizens Water League at the Albany hotel as the speaker of the day. His subject was the proposed franchise of The Denver Union Water Company. He was to dissect the franchise and point out where its provisions were not as he believed they should be. The senator disappointed his audience, for he, instead of pointing out the shortcomings of the proposed franchise, devoted most of his time to explaining his connection with the old Denver Water Company. The Senator's memory appears to be failing him, for he did not tell the same story of this connection as he has told on other occasions. To refresh his memory and to call the attention of the citizens of Denver to the conflicting record he has made in defending his connection with the old water company, we will quote part of that record. Last Saturday Senator Patterson said: "Let me say to you, my friends, and I desire to make this statement as emphatically as I can, that I never suggested or wrote a word of the existing franchise. I was never consulted about its terms. The franchise was written in New York and brought here by the attorney of the old Denver Water Company, Mr. Underhill (Underwood). Mr. Underwood and Mr. Sullivan came to me and asked me, as an attorney, to appear before the city council, not to urge the franchise, but to make clear to the council precisely what its provisions were. "That I did and I honestly and faithfully performed that duty as I would for any other client. The Denver Water Company paid me for that service the munificent fee of $100. My duty was ended when I took the franchise section by section and read and explained it to the council without argument or appeal, simply presenting it as a lawyer." Senator Patterson made the speech above referred to on February 6, 1890, before the city council. We ask you to read it and judge for yourself whether he said a single word about the legal provisions of the franchise. He stated last Saturday that he did nothing else. The speech tells the story. He said: "1 am very frank to say that I am here in the capacity of the Denver Water Company, and I wish only to answer what statements have been made that seem opposed to sound judgment and common sense. As to Mr. Mills' statement as to the financial standing of the members of the Citizens Water Company, I need only to refer to the Denver Water Company, two years ago badly managed and constantly complained of in public and private. The gentlemen who managed and controlled the company at that time are the same who come before you tonight with this sugar-coated proposition. "Gentlemen, no two water companies ever existed successfully side by side in the same city. It is a financial necessity that two such organizations should come together sooner or later. Should they both remain firm, and when, with pipes laid, they begin to underbid each other, it is an economic necessity that one should be merged in the other. Should the city not then have a contract with one company, it remains at the mercy of the victor. Therefore it seems to me under the circumstance the part of wisdom and policy for the city was to close this contract. With every advantage given the city by this ordinance, with a company offering all these inducements, now supplying the city, and which has for twenty years, it seems true wisdom and economy to close with that offer and insure the water supply for the city for twenty years more. Good judgment, sound wisdom and economy demand favorable action at your hands. (Mr. Patterson's reply to Mr. Easley): Mr. Easley, he said, seems to admit that the old company was rather an odious concern. Let me point out to you that eight of the nine old directors are the file leaders in this new crusade for water. Is it not peculiar that they are all found, bag and baggage, hats and boots, in the Citizens Water Company? I need only remind you, when they ask you to take advantage of their offers, that they have not yet a foot of pipe within seventeen miles of Denver. As to their claim of the decision of the court, I will say that the Denver Water Company is still contesting their claims and will continue to contest them. These men gained the knowledge on which they now make a contest while acting as directors of the old company. As to the wealth of the gentlemen forming this corporation, I will say that a corporation formed of one hundred of the wealthiest men in the country with Jay Gould at its head might not be liable for one dollar. The wealth and assets of a corporation is different from that of the individuals forming it. It is impossible that these two companies can occupy the same territory in peace. As sure as the sun will rise, the one, I care not which, will buy out the other, and in the absence of a contract, the victorious company, I care not which it is, will have the city at its mercy. If the members of the city council or its committee has decided that the terms offered by the Denver Water Company are better than any offered to other cities, then I say it is the part of wisdom to concur in the recommendation of the committee." Senator Patterson made another mistake when he said in his talk last Saturday that he only received $100 for his efforts in behalf of the franchise of the Denver Water Company. On October 14, 1909, the Senator in the columns of his own papers admitted that he had received during the year when the franchise was pending (1890) the sum of $78,620 from the old Denver Water Company. The Denver Post on October 19 showed that this amount should have been $80,521.95. Seventy-five thousand dollars of the amount was in the form of a loan (without interest). The Senator admitted that he used this money to purchase his interest in the Rocky Mountain News. He stated that he secured the loan through Mr. Dennis Sullivan, then connected with the water company, also vice president of the Denver National Bank. Why did not the Senator secure the loan from the bank instead of from the water company? He stated that he paid the loan at maturity with his own money. In support of this he referred to Mr. Sullivan. Mr. Sullivan, interviewed for Patterson's own paper, would only say: "I am satisfied that every dollar of the notes was paid at maturity." You see, he did not say who paid the notes. But whether the notes were paid or not, the fact remains that the prevailing rate of interest at the time the loan was secured was ten per cent, per annum. Ten per cent, per annum on $75,000 for two years means $15,000. That amount at least was a clear gift to Patterson for his services in behalf of the water company. The company at that time was not in a good position to loan money. It was almost in the hands of the receiver. We merely call attention to the variations in the record made by Senator Patterson in this case so his memory may be refreshed and so he may not wander from the beaten path in subsequent speeches.

Ford's Hair Pomade Fifty years of success have proved the merits of this preparation. What is more attractive than a beautiful head of hair? It has been the ambition of women in all ages. The use of Ford's Hair Pomade makes stubborn, harsh, kinky or curly hair softer, more pliable and glossy, easier to comb and arrange in any style desired consistent with its length, as long as the Pomade remains in the hair. This result may be obtained by one thorough application according to directions. Two to four applica-tory condition, and two to four bottles, regular size, are usually sufficient for a year. Directions with every bottle. Ford's Hair Pomade removes and prevents dandruff, invigorates the scalp and keeps it from getting harsh and dry, stops itching and prevents itching, gives it new life and vigor. Absolutely harmless.

What to put into a stock pot has often been discussed by those who are interested in culinary affairs. It all depends upon what the stock is required for; and to determine just exactly what to put in must depend upon the requirements of the household in a kitchen where clear soups are required, discrimination is necessary, and there must be a separate pot kept for meat stock alone. For ordinary households, where clear soups are never used, everything savory and eatable can go in. One or two precautions are necessary. Examine all scraps and see that nothing is tainted, or the whole will be spoiled. When adding fresh bones, remove any marrow, for, although a valuable fat, it gives a strong flavor to soup which is very disagreeable and is difficult to digest. The marrow can be reserved for marrow toast, marrow balls or marrow pudding, or tried out with other scraps of fat for frying. Break the bones into pieces, not too small, and put them into the pot. RECIPE FOR CURRANT BREAD Delicious Confection as It Should Be Prepared—A Specialty of Famous Chef. Scald but do not boll a cup and a half of sweet milk and a cup of water. Add two tablespoonfuls of sugar and a teaspoonful of salt. Cool to lukewarm, then add a compressed yeast cake softened in another half cup lukewarm water and stir in enough whole wheat flour to make a stiff batter. Allow this to rise. If set in the morning early it will be ready by ten o'clock. When light add one beaten egg, a tablespoonful of melted butter and one cupful of well washed and thoroughly dried currants. Beat well, add enough more flour to make a dough stiff enough to knead. Work well, mold in two loaves, place in greased pans, brush with melted butter and let rise until light. Put in a hot oven, but as soon as the bread browns reduce the heat one-half and leave in about half an hour longer. If preferred, white bread may be made in the usual way, adding a liberal quantity of dried currants.—Emma Paddock Telford. Sweetbreads and Mushrooms. Sweetbreads and Mushrooms. Blanch two pairs of sweetbreads and slice them. Cut the stems from 20 mushrooms. Beat the yolks of three eggs. Cook together in the chafing dish blazer a tablespoonful of butter and one of flour. When smooth pour upon them gradually one and a half cups of rich milk or cream into which a pinch of baking soda has been stirred. Stir until smooth, then lay in the sweetbreads, cook for two minutes, add salt and white pepper to taste, and put in the mushrooms. Cook until very hot; pour in gradually the egg yolks and cook just long enough, to heat thoroughly, but not long enough to cause the eggs to curdle. Serve immediately. — Harper's Bazar. Scalloped Apple Pudding. Cut one small stale loaf in halves, remove all soft parts, and crumb by rubbing through a colander. Melt one-fourth of a cupful of butter, and add to bread crumbs, stirring lightly with a fork. Cover bottom of buttered pudding dish with buttered crumbs, and add two cupfuls of sliced apples. Sprinkle with one-eighth of a cupful of sugar mixed with one-eighth of a teaspoonful of grated nutmeg, three-fourths of a tablespoonful of juice and a few gratings from the rinds of a lemon. Repeat, cover with remaining crumbs, and bake 40 minutes in a moderate oven. Cover at first to prevent crumbs from browning too quickly. Serve with sugar and cream. Scones. Into a quart of flour stir a teaspoonful of salt and two teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Sift three times, then chop into the mixture a heaping table-spoonful of butter, and when well blended add enough chilled milk to make a soft dough. Handle as little as possible and turn out upon a floured board. Roll quickly and lightly into a sheet and cut into rounds with a small biscuit or cake cutter. Lay upon a hot soapstone griddle, and when brown turn and brown; split open—tearing, not cutting the scones—and butter them.—Harper's Bazar. Oranges with Straws. In serving refreshments for a juvenile frolic have lemonade or orangeade in the skins of appropriate fruit. Cut a plug from each lemon or orange at the stem end, scoop out the pulp which is to be squeezed for the beverage. Cut two holes in each plug and insert straws. Fill the skins with the well-sweetened drink and replace the plugs. The children can pass back the novel cups for refilling if the one helping does not quench thirst. To Whiten Tea Towel. Save all the lemon hulls, drop them in the vessel in which you boil the towels, add one or two tablespoonfuls of borax, and it will whiten them wonderfully, and there will be a clear freshness about them that is desirable.

Denver REV. W.G.B. PIERCE "PRESIDENT TAFT'S PASTOR" PRESIDENT TAFT'S CHURCH IN WASHINGTON HE present occupants of the White House, alike to most of their predecessors, have been regular attendants at church, but, as in the case of the average citizen, special significance attaches to their participation in divine worship on Easter Sunday. As concerns the president it may be said that part of this significance is in a religious sense and part is in a spectacular sense. It is not the special music and the flowers which make for the latter so much as the disposition on the part of a large share of the public to seize the opportunity to get a glimpse at close range of the president of the United States. members and the late Edward Ewalt frequently occupied its president Taft will be summoned worship on Easter morning by the reaching tones of a great bell, by the famous Paul Revere of revolutionary fame. This bell which place in a lofty beltry, has souls on great public occasions since tolling successively for Lincoln, field and McKinley. The pastor of All Souls', preaches President Taft's Easter mon, is Rev. Ulysses Grant P. Pierce and he appears in the p in a black gown such as is worn der similar circumstances by Episcopal clergymen. Rev. Pierce a native of Providence, R. I., and born in the closing year of the As has been said the president attends church service almost every Sunday morning in the year, but there is no certainty as to his appearance, nor, on the ordinary Sabbath, does the president invariably attend the church of which he is a member. Indeed not infrequently the chief executive accepts an invitation to worship with some congregation of another denomination, if the occasion be a special one of any kind. On Easter Sunday, however, the president goes to his own church and only the most exceptional circumstances interfere with his attendance at the morning service. Knowing this, throngs gather at the church, whereas a good sized crowd is sure to follow the president all the way from the White House gates to the church. As was the case during the Roosevelt administration, the president and his wife are adherents of different religious denominations and hold membership in different churches in Washington. President Taft comes of a Unitarian family, his father and mother both being Unitarians and his grandmother having joined the Unitarian movement with the famous Dr. Channing. William H. Taft, like his father before him, was a member of the Unitarian church in Cincinnati. After entering official life in Washington, he took a pew in the only Unitarian place of worship at the national capital—stately All Souls' church, which is located more than half a mile from the executive mansion. The new "President's church" is one of the most historic churches in what might be termed "The City of Famous Churches." John C. Calhoun, Daniel Webster, Bulfinch and the late Senator Hoar have been among its RECIPE CURES KIDNEYS, FREE RELIEVES URINARY AND KIDNEY TROUBLES, BACKACHE, STRAINING, SWELLING, ETC.

WHERE SHE HAD HEARD IT Mrs. Jackson Quite Confident She Had Picked Out a Biblical Name for Her Boy. "The late Bishop Gallier was once asked to baptize a negro baby boy. "Name this child," he said, addressing Mrs. Jackson, the mother of the black mite. "Hallud." "That's a strange name, Mrs. Jackson," remarked the bishop, hesitatingly. "Scripture name," rejoined the happy mother, with a confident grin. "I never saw it in the Bible." "Why, bishop, how kin yuh stan' up dar kiddin' a ole ignorant niggah laik I is? Yuh says dat name whenevah yuh says de Lawd's prayer—Hallud be thy name!" "—Success Magazine. Driven by Hunger to Desperation. Mrs. Mode had just returned home from the country, to discover her previously well-stocked wardrobe empty. "Good gracious, Herbert," she cried to her husband, "where are all my clothes? And what in the world is that big black patch out on the lawn?" "Nelly," he replied mournfully, "after I had starved for two whole days, you wrote me that the key of the pantry was in the pocket of your boilo. Well, I don't know a boilo from a boxplait ruffle, and I was desperate, so I took all the things out on the lawn and burned them. Then I found the key among the ashes."—Success Magazine. Record for Strangeness. A Niagara Falls man tells this story: "A Buffalo man brought a relative from Scotland here to see our grand spectacle. The two gazed at the fall in silence a long time. Then the Buffalo man heaved a sigh and said: "Ah, Cousin Donald, did you ever see anything so beautiful and strange?" "The Scotchman, after a moment's thought, answered calmly: "Weel, for bonnie, you's a right; but for strange, no—fur I once saw in the Town o' Peebles a peacock wit' a wooden leg." An Ungallant Outlook "Again, the ungallant outlook of some husbands causes divorce," said ex-Gov. Pennypacker, in a witty after-dinner speech in Philadelphia. "It is amazing what an ungallant outlook some men have. I said one day to a Bucks county farmer: "Have you got a wife, Hans?" "Why, yes, to tell the truth, I have," Hans replied. "For the little bit the critters eat, it ain't worth a man's while to be without one." A LITTLE THING Changes the Home Feeling. Coffee blots out the sunshine from many a home by making the mother, or some other member of the household, dyspeptic, nervous and irritable. There are thousands of cases where the proof is absolutely undeniable. Here is one. A Wis. mother writes: "I was taught to drink coffee at an early age, and also at an early age became a victim to headaches, and as I grew to womanhood these headaches became a part of me, as I was scarcely ever free from them. "About five years ago a friend urged me to try Postum. I made the trial and the result was so satisfactory that we have used it ever since. "My husband and little daughter were subject to billious attacks, but they have both been entirely free from them since we began using Postum instead of coffee. I no longer have headaches and my health is perfect." If some of these tired, nervous, irritable women would only leave off coffee absolutely and try Postum they would find a wonderful change in their life. It would then be filled with sunshine and happiness rather than weariness and discontent. And think what an effect it would have on the family, for the mood of the mother is largely responsible for the temper of the children. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason."

They are genuine, true, and full of human Where the Tafts Attend the Easter Service HE present occupants of the White House, alike to most of their predecessors, have been regular attendants at church, but, as in the case of the average citizen, special significance attaches to their participation in divine worship on Easter Sunday. As concerns the president it may be members and the late Edward Everett Hale frequently occupied its pulpit. President Taft will be summoned to worship on Easter morning by the far-reaching tones of a great bell, cast by the famous Paul Revere of revolutionary fame. This bell which has place in a lofty belfry, has sounded on great public occasions since 1822, tolling successively for Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley. The pastor of All Souls', who preaches President Taft's Easter sermon, is Rev. Ulysses Grant Baker Pierce and he appears in the pulpit in a black gown such as is worn under similar circumstances by many Episcopal clergymen. Rev. Pierce is a native of Providence, R. I., and was born in the closing year of the civil war, which readily accounts for the choice of the name bestowed upon him. He was educated in New England and at Hillsdale college, Michigan, and also pursued advanced studies at Harvard. The pastor had charges in Iowa, California and Ithaca, N. Y., ere he assumed his present position in 1891, in which year also he was married. Rev. Pierce, like the distinguished member of his congregation, has traveled extensively and lectured considerably upon travel subjects. Mrs. Taft, like Mrs. Roosevelt, worships at a different church from that attended by her husband and by odd coincidence these two successive first ladies of the land have had the same religious affiliations. The Easter mecca of these two well-known women is old St. John's Episcopal church, located just across the park from the White House and often called the "church of the presidents," from the fact that every President from Madison to Lincoln, and several since that time, have worshiped there. The quaint little edifice has also been dubbed "the court church" from the fact that during every administration many leading foreign diplomats and high officials of the nation have regularly attended its services. A pew in the church is always set aside for the use of the president of the United States and his family and this pew is now used by Mrs. Taft in place of the pew which she formerly rented. Miss Helen Taft is also a member of this church and usually accompanies her mother to the services when in Washington at Easter, but the president's sons are wont, as were the Roosevelt boys, to go to church with their father when at home for the Easter holidays or on other like occasions. 900 DROPS CASTORIA ALCOHOL-3 PER CENT A Vegetable Preparation for Assimilating the Food and Regulating the Stomachs and Bowels of INFANTS & CHILDREN Promotes Digestion, Cheerfulness and Rest.

Follow this advice. Quaker Oats is the best of all foods; it is also the cheapest. When such men as Prof. Fisher of Yale University and Sir James Crichton Browne, LL.D., F.R.S. of London spend the best part of their lives in studying the great question of the nourishing and strengthening qualities of different foods, it is certain that their advice is absolutely safe to follow. Professor Fisher found in his experiments for testing the strength and endurance of athletes that the meat eaters were exhausted long before the men who were fed on such food as Quaker Oats. The powers of endurance of the non-meat eaters were about eight times those of the meat eaters. Sir James Crichton Browne says—eat more oatmeal, eat plenty of it and eat it frequently. 59 The Right Spirit. Apropos of Valentine's day, a passenger on the Bermudian said: "Mark Twain once told us, in a little Valentine day speech on this boat, of an Irish wooer who had the right Valentine spirit. Acceptance or rejection he could take with equal grace. "Will ye be my valentine?' he said, on February 14, to the girl he loved. "No,' she replied; 'I am another's.' He heaved a sigh and said: "Sure, thin, darlin', I wish ye was twins, so that I could have at last the half of ye.'" The Simple Life. Ever notice how easy it is not to save money?

The Cross In History, Art And Legend AT THIS season when all the world over people of many races and tongues are meditating on the Cross of Christ; when long services are being held in memory of the + greatest tragedy on Golgotha, and processions are solemnly marching to the stations of the Cross, bearing banners and crucifixes, and bowing reverently before altars and pictures commemorating the sorrowful walk to Calvary; when in the Holy Land thousands of pilgrims from every nation are treading the very "Vla Dolorosa" on which he trod as he left the Holy City fore-er, carrying his cross to the "Accursed Hill" outside the walls; it may be of interest to consider the history and traditions of this wonderful symbol under which we live and in the name of which so much has been wrought of world-wide good to humanity, anc. alas! of great harm through Christian fanaticism. Perhaps there is no other object on earth about which there has been more controversy, more dissensions and more superstitions than about this one great object for reverence on the one side, and for derision on the other. Ever since the crucifixion it has left a strong impress on the history of the nations and has been revered in the religion of all the sects bearing the name of Christ. It has been surrounded by traditions and mysticism and endowed with supernatural and miraculous attributes. It has been taken as the emblem of a faith under the banner of which great deeds of heroism have been done, as in olden days when pioneer messengers of the Story of the Cross filled with religious zeal entered bravely into uncivilized and barbarian lands, fearlessly ignoring great dangers. Heraided by Christian banners the procession of civilization has spread to all parts of the world. Romans carried it to the Britons and Saxons. The worship of the sun as observed by the Incas was brought to an end through the ascendancy of Spanish bearers of the cross In more recent times Spanish monks, with peace in their hearts, amid many hardships, wrested from the aborigines the western coast of our own country, where they erected many missions to spread the teachings of Christianity. The influence of the cross so entirely filled the minds of its followers that it became the center subject of the paintings of the old masters and in time permeated not only the spirit of this art, but also that of architecture, for we find throughout the great Christian architecture of the Middle Ages and in all forms of mediaeval decoration this sign of the cross standing out conspicuously. The very foundations of the edifices which were erected in commemoration of faith in this symbol fol- lowed the lines of a cross, so that the very walls from their foundations upward might carry with them as they rose the image of the sacred sign, to receive its crowning figure displayed in the ridge line of its roofs. Crosses, in an endless variety of forms, still surmount the loftiest and finest parts of the architecture of the cathedrals and churches of Europe. Above the tombs of the departed or even in the pavements of the church above the monumental vaults in these cathedrals this same sign proclaims the faith of those who rest beneath. Being the keynote and the "glory" of the Christian religion this emblem soon became prized in other directions besides those ecclesiastic. With the triumph of Christianity the cross at once was recognized as a universal symbol of highest nobility and honor. It was now considered to add dignity to the crowns and scepters of emperors and princes. It became the proudest ensign of knightly rank. The greatest warriors were proud to see the cross on the hilts of their swords as well as on the banners under which they fought. It also became a sign of merit for valor and bravery—a reward for deeds or honor, as the iron cross of Prussia established by William III for patriotic bravery in war. It was worn also as a protection in times of trouble. To denote the consecration of those devoted to the aid of the suffering and needy; the Red Cross was the confederation of societies in different countries for the betterment of conditions of the wounded soldiers in campaigns on land and sea. In Crusader days, beginning with Peter the Hermit, in 1094, starting out to deliver the Holy Land from the dominion of the infidel, the brave warriors were thus named because of the red cross they wore as badges on their right shoulders. The archbishop's crozler—the ensign of his office—is the staff with a cross head, distinguishing it from the "pastoral" staff of bishops and abbots, which have a shepherd's crook. Thus has been experienced the saying of Justin Martyr so many years ago—that "the sign of the cross was impressed upon the whole of nature. There is hardly a handicraftsman also but uses the figure of it among the implements of his industry. It forms a part of man himself." Man has been created in this form as has been beautifully illustrated by Emily Collier in the painting depicting the Holy Child's expression of his love—"So wide is my love." In the middle ages and in Crusaders' days the cross was the distinctive symbol of the Christian in contradistinction to the Crescent of the Mohammedan The custom of marking one's signature by a cross was first adopted by Christians in the year 110 to distinguish them from the pagans, and it stood for a silent oath The early Christians immediately used this sign, which was connected with their religion, as a secret message to one another in their first days of persecution. Mingling with the persecutors of their faith, they could thus make themselves known to each other without calling the attention of those around them. In visiting the catacombs in Rome, where they hid from fear of their persecutors, it is intensely interesting to notice that the sign so sacred to them is carved and engraved all around the walls of their prison cells and above the tombs of their brethren Easter. Easter. Like a meteor, large and bright, Fell a golden seed, light On the field of Christmas night When the Babe was born. Then the Babe was sepulchred in gloom Till the Babe his holy tomb Flashed its everlasting bloom— Flower of Easter morn. RADICAL RAILROAD REGULATION AND ITS EFFECT ON BUSINESS. To the Business Man:—With enormous crops commanding the highest prices ever known; with every kind of business on a safe and sensible basis; with merchandise stocks of all kinds almost at a minimum; with everybody desirous of making good all the necessary improvements which the past two years' depression would not permit of, and to fill up stocks which have been almost depleted, with plenty of money and credit to do all these things, there is a hesitation by the greater part of the business community, for the reason that something has appeared calling a halt in the progress which had so fairly started in the latter half of 1909. The one great and most apparent element which has caused this hesitation, is that the railroad corporations of this country have stopped the purchase of anything beyond their immediate necessities, so much so that betterments which had been projected, (which are not only betterments, but in a great many cases are almost, or soon will be necessities) amounting to over one thousand millions of dollars, have been held up. It is customary for railroads to prepare their budgets of expenditures January 1st. If these budgets had been prepared on the lines of necessities the outlook for general business, particularly among manufacturers, would be exceptionally good for 1910. These budgets have not been presented, and are not within the call, or even within the sight of those who would gladly welcome them, and it is doubtful when we will be able to make any reasonable forecast in the manufacturing and commercial world. It is unquestionably true that the railroads would gladly enter into a year of liberal expenditure, but as matters stand now, it is quite possible that they will be compelled to drop back into the condition they were in the latter part of 1907 and during the year 1908, that is, purchase nothing except that which is absolutely essential, and the reasons are exactly the same as those that existed in the early part of 1907, that is "Radical Railroad Regulation." Woman's Power Over Man Woman's most glorious endowment is the power to awaken and hold the pure and honest love of a worthy man. When she loses it and still loses on, no one in the wide world can know the heart agony she endures. The woman who suffers from weakness and derangement of her special womanism soon loses the power and heart of a man. Her general ability with suffers and she loses the attractiveness, her amiability her good looks, her attractiveness, her beauty, her power and prestige as a woman. Dr. R.V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.Y., with the assistance of his staff of able physicians, has prescribed for and cured many thousands of women. He has devised a successful remedy for woman's ailments. It is known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is a positive specific for the weaknesses and disorders peculiar to women. It purifies, regulates, strengthens and heals.

This has been well known to the best doctors for years and is now given to the public. "Get one ounce of syrup of Sarsaparilla compound and one ounce Toris compound. Then get half a pint of good whiskey and put the other two ingredients into it. Take a tablespoonful of this mixture before each meal and at bed time. Shake the bottle before using." Good effects are felt the first day. Many of the worst cases here have been cured by this. Any drugist has these ingredients on hand or will quickly get them from his wholesale house. Fighting Disease In Greece. Fighting Disease in Greece. Consul General George Horton has made a report from Athens on the conspicuous work of Greek physicians in combating the country's chief scourges—malarial fever and tuberculosis. An annual average of 2,000 persons die each year from the former, while in epidemic years, due to excessive rains, the number exceeds 6,000, which was the case in 1905. The population of Greece is 2,433,806. The people have been interested through lectures, pamphlets, etc., to fight the malaria-carrying mosquito by draining stagnant ponds and throwing petroleum on them. A tuberculosis congress will be held at Athens next year, to which will be invited not only physicians, but all the mayors and other prominent people of Greece. May Make Convents Into Sanatoria. Efforts are being made in Bulgaria to abolish the numerous monasteries and convents of the Greek Catholic church and to use their buildings and revenues for the establishment and maintenance of tuberculosis sanatoria. King Ferdinand has given 100,000 francs for the erection of a national sanatorium. The death rate from tuberculosis in Bulgaria is very high being 31 for every 10,000 living.

S SPOHN'S DISTEMPER CURE creased desire on the part of investors to put their money into railroad properties. They have been given to understand that probably their borrowing capacity is to be limited within narrow lines by the Government, so that even if they were willing to make these expenditures, it would be difficult for them to obtain the necessary financing. In fact, looking at it from any point, the owners of railroad property have nothing to see that would encourage them in spending any money until they have a more definite idea as to what extent they are going to be controlled and directed by the National Government, and under such circumstances, all of the vast industrial enterprises that are depending upon the railroads, will find that at the time that their present orders upon which they are working, issued some six months ago when it was not dreamed of that the present adverse conditions could possibly arise, will have been completed, that we will again be in practically the same position that we were in during the early part of 1908. In my judgment unless Congress restrains its interference with the earning capacities of the railroads, there will be a permanent set-back in the general business of the country, that it may take years to overcome. Some Congressmen think that the railroad interests are the real force that is behind the rapidly growing unrest of the business men regarding legislation. This is absurd; we need no spur to wake us up to our unfortunate situation, which is by no means confined to railroad supply institutions. There are 1,500,000 railroad employees. It takes 1,500,000 men to supply what the railroads need, and a vast number of men are employed in supplying the personal needs of the above 3,000,000 men. Every kind of business is dependent in some measure on railroad prosperity. The producers of wool, cotton, tobacco, sugar and many other special articles in this country, have so interested themselves in their business that they have forced the General Government to put a special protective tax on the things they produce, which we and our employees, who do not produce them, have to pay for, and to many of which we do not object. On the same principle, and for the same reasons, when business men become as active in looking after their interests, and with the same rights, we can induce the General Government to give us equal protection by allowing the railroad companies, who are the producers of our revenue, to make sufficient profit to enable them to buy a full plenty of the goods they need which we manufacture. This will involve no special tax, will mean bet ter railroad service, and more business for everyone, particularly the working man; and when it is considered that in reality 90% of all the money received by the railroads and ourselves goes directly to the working people, we should have the solid endorsement and individual support of every working man in the country. Cause:—The trouble with the whole situation is that many of the men who make the laws are not familiar with the true inwardness of the relations and dependence which the manufacturing and business interests have upon the general railroad situation, nor do they realize that in administering their so-called discipline to the railroad companies that we are the "ultimate consumers" of that discipline. Remedy:—It is of the greatest importance that some decided action be taken by the Government at as early a date as possible, as there will be no improvement until this uncertainty has been overcome.

THE Colorado Statesman 1824 Curtis Street Room 25 --- THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY The dress in above illustration is for a girl about 12 years old. It is of embroidered net, made up over mercerized lawn. The skirt is finished at the bottom with two ruffles of the material, edged with lace. The blouse has a plaited shoulder collar, also edged with lace and ornamented with little buttons. The yoke is made of bands of valen- AFTERNOON DRESS. - This is a smart, tight-fitting princess dress in brownish terra-cotta face cloth. The bodice has a round yoke of chiffon, and a zouave with sleeve cut in one with it, both being braided and edged with balloon and large fancy buttons. On the hips the trimming is arranged to simulate panels let in at the sides. Chiffon is used for the puffed sleeves, which are set to deep cuffs. Materials required: Seven yards 48 inches wide, 1 dozen yards trimming, $ \frac{1}{2} $ dozen yards braid, 6 buttons. Natty Accessories for Linen Suits. Natty Accessories for Linen Suits. The black satin collar, cuffs and pocket lapels which lend so smart an air to a tailored suit of wash material may be made by any amateur who will devote sufficient time to the task. When the black satin pieces have been properly shaped, they should be hand-embroidered or sou-tache-braided, then stiffened with canvas, taffeta lined, and finally finished about the edges with three rows of machine stitching. As these accessories must be removed whenever the coat is to be laundered or cleaned, their upper edges should be equipped with five or six short loops of black twist which fasten over tiny buttons of the same material as the garment, and attached permanently to it. For Aching Feet. A woman who pins her faith to home remedies before going to a doctor says she quickly cures herself of the shooting pains in her feet and legs which many women call neuralgia. Every night and morning she bathes her feet with strong salt water as hot as she can bear it. She continues the bathing for five or six minutes, then glives a cold spray and rubs the feet briskly with a rough towel until they are in a glow. Little Helps. Soften water. Heat but do not boll a boilerful of water; add two tablespoonfuls of lye. In a few minutes a scum arises; remove with a spoon, then add soap and wash same as for soft water. Perfectly harmless to clothes and a saver of soap. clennes insertion, arranged diagonally, and a narrow satin ribbon forms the girdle. The attractive model illustrated is of blue velvet trimmed with bands of soutache embroidery, which forms the collar and cuffs, the girdle and the border of the skirt. In front are straps bordered with a heavy slip piping and ornamented with buttons of the same COLORS IN SPRING COSTUMES "Pepper and Salt" Seems to Have Been Singled Out to Become an Special Favorite. All the smart costumes of the spring will be "pepper and salt." The individual taste can choose between the infinite stripes of black and white, the hairline, stripes or checks, or a fine tweed in which the two threads mix. All the London suitings are in the natty, mannish fabrics affected by the English woman and her spouse. English black and white shepherd plaids, checks and clever stripes with rough threads will be in the lead. The spring worsteds are in the tiny stripes, coming so close together that they are practically gray. For one who takes to mountain climbing, golf, motoring or any outside exercise, the homespuns are the best of all for wear. These, in the imported cloths and in our own home weavings come in sixteen shades, so variety is not lacking. Speaking of fabrics, it is said that a woman's character comes out in the textures she wears. Withal so much depends on the making that the rule cannot be accepted in any sense as fast bound. A rough homespun, made simply in perfect taste, is as dainty as a smooth fabric on a small person. SPREAD IS MADE ELABORATE Pink Roses Embroidered on Bed Covering Has Become Distinctly Popular. Not only a flowered surface, but with blossoms made by hand, is the latest in bedspreads. Great cabbage roses in rich delicious pink dotted here and there all over the plain surface of a white linen spread. Not closer than you care to place them, with the embroidery in view, but just so near that there will be plenty of pink in evidence. You can do the stamping yourself, if you secure a single large rose with a leaf and a very little stem and trace it upon the goods. Mercerized and twisted embroidery cotton—a coarse number—will be your best medium, and the work need not be solid. Skeleton embroidery is effective where there are large petals, and the work should be done in a bold way, so that the result will be decidedly pink or old rose. Two shades of cotton may be used, with green leaves and stems, or with both of these done in the rose pink. The dropping of this large, loose rose upon curtains and cushions in the same room will not be wasted work. To Give Red Hair a Luster. The red-haired girl should insist upon a pinch of salts of tartar being put in the shampoo mixture each time her hair is washed. This does not act as a bleach or dye, but gives a warm pretty luster to the hair that brings out all its lights. There is no possible danger of injury to the hair if no more of the acid is used than a good-sized pinch or as much as will go on the end of a knife. The salts should be kept in a dry place as it is rapidly affected by dampness. Breakfast Jacket. For a breakfast jacket have Japanese silk and cut it hip length, with point at the front and straight across at the back. Loose pointed sleeves should be bound with ribbons and a simple neck binding used. Morning jackets are simple and usually constructed of fine silks. SOME RICE RECIPES NEW IDEAS OF SERVING HEALTHFUL CEREAL. Steamed, It Is One of the Best Dishes for Nursery Dessert—Plain Pudding—Croquettes and Griddle Cakes. Steamed Rice.—Soak a cup of rice in one and a fourth cup of water for an hour. Then add a cup of milk and salt to taste. Turn into an earthen dish in which you can serve it at table and place in a steam cooker or a covered steamer over a kettle of boiling water and steam for an hour and a quarter. Plain Rice Pudding—One-half cup rice, one half cup sugar, a little salt, one quart of milk; soak half an hour. Bake two hours, slowly at first until the rice has softened and thickened the milk, then let it brown slightly. A half cup of raisins may be added for variety. Rice Pudding—One-half cup rice in three cups of milk, steam until rice is soft; then add one pint of milk. one-half cup sweet cream and yolks of three eggs beaten with five tablespoons of sugar. Stir and put in baking dish. When ready to serve make a meringue of the whites of the eggs with five tablespoons of sugar. Rice Croquettes—Take two cups of boiled rice, add one gill of milk, salt and pepper to taste, one teaspoon of onion juice, a little nutmeg, the grated rind and juice of half a lemon, one teaspoon of grated cheese and same of chopped parsley; boil together 45 minutes, then stir in the beaten yolk of one egg; take from fire and turn out to cool. When cool enough to handle, form into croquettes, dip into beaten egg, then in fine bread crumbs. Fry in deep boiling fat. Serve with or without tomato sauce. Croquettes may be made much more simply, but these are very delicious. Rice Griddle Cakes—Take one cup of bolled rice, add one pint of sweet milk, the well beaten yolks of two eggs, one heaping teaspoon of baking powder, two cups of flour, mix all together. Make a batter as thick as for wheat flour pancakes. Add the beaten whites of two eggs just before baking. Bake same as other griddle cakes. Rice with Peaches—Steam the rice as directed and when done serve with cream and pared or sliced peaches. Rice may be served with other fruit or with raisins. Molded Rice Balls—Steam a quart of rice as directed and turn into cups previously wet in cold water. When perfectly cold place in a glass dish and pour over a custard made of one pint of milk, half a cup of sugar, a teaspoon of cornstarch and one egg. Buckwheat Griddle Cakes Pour two cupfuls of scalded milk over one-third of a cupful of fine breadcrumbs; cover, and let stand 30 minutes; add one-half teaspoonful of salt, one-fourth of a yeast cake dissolved in one-half cupful of lukewarm water and enough buckwheat flour to make a batter thin enough to pour, the quantity required being about $1\%$ cupfuls. Cover and let rise overnight. In the morning stir well, and add one tablespoonful of molasses and one-fourth of a teaspoonful of soda dissolved in one-fourth of a cupful of lukewarm water. Cook same as other griddle cakes, and serve with butter and sirup. Giblet Soup. Wash two sets of giblets. Put a tablespoonful of butter in a frying pan and set over the fire. Have cut up one onion, one carrot and one stalk of celery; when the butter is hot put these in and fry brown. Skim them out and put them in a soup kettle with half a gallon of water, the giblets, a pound of lean beef and a spring of parsley. Set over a moderate fire and let simmer until the giblets are tender; skim until clear. Rub three tablespoonfuls of flour and one of butter together and stir into the soup. Take out the giblets, cut into pieces, and put them into the soup tureen with the yolks of six hard-boiled eggs. Strain the soup, season with salt and pepper and pour into the tureen. Nut Cookies. Use for these little cakes a cupful hickory nuts or any other nut preferred. Rub to a cream one pound light brown sugar and one cupful lard and butter mixed. Add two well-beaten eggs, one cupful sour milk into which a rounded teaspoonful soda has been beaten, the cupful nuts and flour, a little at a time until the dough is stiff enough to roll out. Roll thin, cut in circles of any fancy shape desired, place on a well greased pan and bake in a quick oven for four or five minutes. Keeping Shape of Clothes. To prevent clothes from getting out of shape in laundering, be sure to iron with the straight of the goods. This will pull them into shape and prevent stretching of the bias seams. Especially true of children's aprons that have a bias seam at the slides. Old Ticking. If you have a discarded mattress ticking rip it apart, cut and sew as for carpet rags, and have woven with white warp. Have a border at each end of plain rags to match. Iron Help When ironing rub soap on iron to keep it from sticking to clothes.
