LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY METHODIST BUREAU OF NEGRO REPORTS MARKED ADVANCE Dr. W. A. C. Hughes, Superintendent, Receives Commendation and Re-Election by Board of Home Missions and Church Extension at Philadelphia. VOL. XXIX. METHODIST BUREAU REPORTS Dr. W. A. C. Hughes, Superi dation and Re-Election sions and Church Exte THE report of Dr. W. A. C. Hughes, Superintendent of the Bureau of Negro Work under Board of Home Missions and Church Extension of the Methodist Episcopal Church, meeting in Philadelphia recently, was one of the features of the program according to officials of the board. Dr. Hughes, himself a Negro who has won prominence in the work of his denomination of which more than 400,000 members are Negroes, followed the rule adopted for all bureau heads of the board, by selecting a single conference territory of the church's work as a type and giving it full attention throughout his address. A selected lot of stereoicon pictures thrown on a screen made Dr. Hughes' remarks especially effective. The Upper Mississippi Conference was chosen as an example of the work for Southern Negroes carried on by the Bureau under the Methodist Board of Home Missions and Church Extension. Pointing out that the Negro population of the state of Mississippi outnumbers the whites by 81,000, Dr. Hughes showed that only $50,000 was appropriated for Negro education in the state by the last Legislature. Negro labor, according to the Farm Bureau of Sardis, declared Dr. Hughes produces 1,000,000 bales of long staple cotton annually in Mississippi. Mississippi Delta Methodism Has Flourished. "In the Mississippi Delta, an area of 1,200 square miles, Negroes perform 95 per cent of the farm work. Here Methodism has flourished," said Dr. Hughes. "Six years ago we had 1,200 members, today 4,024; 1,000 Sunday School pupils then, 2,775 now; 26 churches then, and 58 churches now." "The Board of Home Missions and Church Extension of the Methodist Episcopal Church maintains two summer schools in the far South for the training of rural pastors. Of the 116 ministers serving in the Upper Mississippi Conference, sixty-five have at one time or another registered in our rural schools and thirty-two charges now have some type of weekly and recreational program. An example of what a trained leader is doing today in this section is our pastor, A. G. Marshall, at Tupelo, Miss. In 1918 the church was a frame building valued at $1,500, minister's salary $500, benevolent giving $65, membership 162, average attendance at Sunday School, 35. Today there is a modern brick church valued at $14,000, a one-acre playground, a social and recreational program, the minister's salary is now $1,000, benevolent giving $300, membership 329, average Sunday School attendance 120, representing a gain in all lines of over 300 per cent. "During the Centenary period the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension has provided $13,688 to supplement pastors' salaries and $25,317 to aid twenty-seven church buildings and parsonages needed for Negro Christian expansion in the South. "Under the inspiration of this program the Wesley Methodist Episcopal Church of Greenwood, Mississippi, has been built and when completed will have Sunday School rooms, club rooms, gymnasium, concert room, library, twenty-one rooms in all, and will be State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House the best equipped Methodist Episcopal Church for Negroes in the South." Dr. Hughes mentioned several other Negro churches in the Conference the unusual progress of which he declared to be typical of the Negroes' response to the religious appeal. Dr. Hughes was formerly Area Secretary of the New Orleans Area of the Methodist Episcopal Church, under Bishop Wilbur P. Thirkield, now of Mexico. New Orleans is now under Bishop R. R. Jones, colored, the first Negro bishop elected to the full rank of bishop in the Methodist Episcopal Church at the last General Conference of that denomination, at Des Moines Iowa, in May, 1920. White Preacher Called Down Before Crowd of 2.000 Students of U.of P. White Preacher Called Down Before Crowd of 2.000 Students of U.of P. Philadelphia, Nov. 26.—Dr. Willis Cummings, formerly of this city, and a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, showed rare grit and race pride when he severely censured the Chaplain of the University of Pennsylvania for addressing a large group of college students. Last Saturday, after the U. of P. football team defeated the team from Penn State the students had their usual rally. Addresses were made by various players and officials. The last speaker was the Rev. Hart, Chaplain of the U. of P. He began his address by telling a story about a Nigger being chased by a bear. Despite the fact that there were over a dozen colored students and graduates in the audience the Chaplain persisted in using the word "Nigger." This was more than Dr. Cummings could stand. Standing in the midst of 2,000 white students, he yells at the top of his voice, "I object to such language. There are other words that you can use instead of that." Some of the students standing near by were furious. It looked for a time as though they would attack the courageous little dentist. One of the students hollered: "Bust him in his mouth." Cummings invited him to do so. Another yelled, "Who are you, anyway?" Dr. Cummings, who while at the U. of P. was captain of the Cross-country track team, and a member of the Varsity Club, showed them his club pin. "That's you I am." WINS $10,000 JUDGMENT Athens, Ga., Dec. 1.—The Ku Klux Klan have started their ride in Georgia.

Farmers in the county have been thrown into tumult on various occasions during the last year by numerous cases of night riding by masked men, in which, reports say, men and women were taken from their homes and flogged. BLE PEOPLE'S PA ADC E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SATU DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1922 Senator Bruce Changes Views Concerning Us Senator Bruce Changes Views Concerning Us Says Status of Negro Today Is Different to What it Was Thirty-five Years Ago. "As time speeds on, men change. As the best proof of this assertion, I point to Wm. Cabel Bruce, newly-elected Democratic U. S. senator of Maryland. Thirty-five years ago Senator Bruce had certain well-defined notions concerning colored people and expressed them in book form. His arguments against colored people voting, etc., were ably answered by Dr. Harvey Johnson, and the whole matter promptly forgotten until Mr. Bruce came up for election. Then they were brought out, dusted off and used with telling effect by the Republicans to turn the colored voters against the Senator-elect. When Mr. Bruce was elected by some 21,000 majority, I called to extend my felicitations and incidentally to ask him about that book he had written thirty-five years ago. In effect he told me: "It is too bad that what I said in my book a long time ago was published in the Afro-American against me. When you are in politics, almost anything may be dug up to hurt your chances. Negro's Status Changed. "When I wrote that book, the status of the Negro race was very different from its status today. Had the lamented Justice White been called upon today to render a decision on the Grandfather Clause, his views would be far different from what they were thirty-five years ago. "Colored people have been employed by me for the past twenty-five years. They are not only an example for their race, but a shining example for anyone who comes in contact with them. In Frederickburg, Va., there is never any trouble between the races. A few years ago, a white man invaded a colored man's home and was killed. The colored man gave himself up to the sheriff, and a jury of twelve white men acquitted him. The spirit of the best white men today is to deal justly with colored people, North and South. "It shall be my duty and purpose to represent the colored people as well as the white. I know I received some colored votes. I thank those who voted for me, and have no grievance against those who fought me. It was their privilege." Talks on Anti-Lynching. On the question of lynching the Senator-elect and I disagree. It is his view that the Dyer Bill is unconstitutional, that it will not be passed and that the Republicans offered it as sop to hold colored voters in line. Senator Bruce believes that the education of public opinion is the proper method to end lynching. He pointed out that there is no anti-lynching legislation in Virginia, but that that state has had only two cases of mob violence in the past eighteen years. He added "it is my candid opinion that if colored people would go to the Vanderbilt Says Japan Will Call Colorder Peoples to World Action Vanderbilt Says Japan Will Call Colorder Peoples to World Action NEW YORK, Dec. 1.—Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., writing in the New York American for Nov. 19, 1922, declares that a racial debacle faces the white race and charges Japan with aiming at an Oriental Alliance to wrest Asia from the "whit grip." He says in part: "An alliance of Oriental people with the avowed purpose of wresting all Asia from the 'white grip' is the goal for which Japan is heading. "The Foreign Office in Tokyo calls this movement for a united yellow race the 'Pan-Asiatic League.' Nationalists in India call it the 'All-Asia movement.' "It is a movement pregnant with possibilities far beyond the mere object of ridding Asia of the white man's economic dominancy. Rather is it the seed of a mighty movement that may yet sweep the Caucasians from their own spheres. "To this end the Imperial Japanese Government proposes to take the main step in its hastening succession of clever deeds in diplomacy. Japan is almost ready to invite the Great Powers of the world to attend a World Congress on Immigration and Racial Discrimination. "But Japan knows all too well, far in advance of the convening of such congress, that the Oriental peoples will not leave such a conference victors—knows that the white race will never voluntarily lower the bars of immigration nor concede racial equality to the dark race. "Japan knows that such a conference must end unfavorably to the Asiatic, to the African, to the Australoid. "But once Japan has been successful in drawing a definite declaration from the white nations that the Oriental is persona non grata to all white peoples, then the first great unifying force among the Oriental peoples will have been fashioned. "Returning home, seemingly defeated, but in reality with the fruits of richest victory, Japan, under the protestation that the Asiatic has been grievously insulted, will turn her eyes upon her Asiatic brethren and, as leader, decry the action of the white nations. "In a clarion voice of commanding an exalting tone her stentorian cry will sweep all Asia and Africa: 'The white man has refused to grant us equality. We must ally ourselves for protection against him lest the white man subjugate the yellow man in Asia as they have already subjugated the black race!" "By inverse application of results such a conference becomes the key for unification of the dark peoples into a mighty organization—numbering three-fifths of the earth's population. Its menace to the white race needs no elaboration." leading white people in all of the states and form a committee of both races, this committee could appeal to the state legislatures, and your race would gain friends. No man dares condone lynching, and you would soon have public sentiment behind you. Lynching must be stopped, but you must go after it in the right way. "The colored people have my best wishes. They deserve the white man's help in education and the things that go to make them better citizens."—Afro-American. Cheyenne, Wyo.

Jews Open War On Ku Klux Klan Jews Open War On Ku Klux Klan New York, Dec. 1.—Open warfare on the Ku Klux Klan by the Independent Order of B'rith Abraham, with a membership of 200,000 throughout the United States, was declared last night by Judge Aaron J. Levy, Grand Master of the organization and presiding Justice of the Municipal Court of the City of New York. Judge Levy said he hoped to enlist other Jewish fraternal organizations in a fight on the Ku Klux and eventually he suggested that Jewish and all other fraternal bodies opposed to the Klan should be merged into one big organization to wage relentless warfare on the Klan. His decision to ask the Independent Order of B'rith Abraham to help in making an end of the Klan was reached after reading newspaper accounts of how school children were being used to propagate the vicious doctrines of the Klan and distribute Ku Klux literature throughout the city. Circulars distributed through the media of these school children contained an appeal designed to engender hatred of the foreign-born, and the Negro. friends of Rev.

Of all of America's proud with its finer growth and development not all of the states comprising worthy school advantages, nor the impartial distribution of these and as the inestimable birthright was the intent of the forefather. Yet there can be offered in advantage of opportunities offered to be accessible to all on an equal that we stand aghast when coof illiteracy in America exceeds earth. A noted educator in a restatement: "If you multiply Geo you will have the figure showing all states." This is a most stable, nor would its full revelation of education among young men doubt is an inspiration born in. A closer union between it. The mental and moral welfare concern of all. The future those who are attending school women and women who build up and in the public schools the man not only advise but urge every advantage of her progressive school during youth that pours through it will return manifold richer than an age too early to realize the fact. There must be both encourage on farther. "No illiteracy" in worthy of the ambitions of half of the youth who are to pass. We can well open the way to education Week a growing and POPULATION of 500,000 and NO ILLITERACY by 1930 is the somewhat significant declaration set forth on placards announcing the opening of Education Week for Denver. It is not so much in the contemplative size of the city as in the contemplative brilliancy of its citizenship that we are interested at this time. Of all of America's proud possessions none can be linked so securely with its finer growth and development than our public school system. Not all of the states comprising the Union can boast of progressive and worthy school advantages, nor can all of them point with pride to a fair, impartial distribution of these advantages. Education has been heralded as the inestimable birthright of even the lowliest citizen, and indeed it was the intent of the forefathers to place education within the reach of all. Yet there can be offered indisputable facts that all do not take advantage of opportunities offered nor are the most improved facilities made accessible to all on an equal plane. We are such a self-centered people that we stand aghast when confronted with the fact that the percentage of illiteracy in America exceeds that of any other enlightened nation on earth. A noted educator in a recent address made this rather astounding statement: "If you multiply Germany's percentage of illiteracy by thirty, you will have the figure showing the percentage of illiteracy in the United states." This is a most staggering condition and one not easily believable, nor would its full revelation come at this time but for noticeable lack of education among young men of military age. EDUCATION Week no doubt is an inspiration born of a desire to overcome this very condition. A closer union between parents and teachers is the first step sought. The mental and moral welfare of the child of today must be the serious concern of all. The future course of this nation will be directed by those who are attending school today. The greater the number of young men and women who build upon the sure foundation of knowledge obtained in the public schools the more enlightened will be the America. We not only advise but urge every child of school age in Denver to take advantage of her progressive school opportunities. Add to the stream of aspiring youth that pours through the doors of our schools now and they will return manifold richer in the years to come. Too many quit school at an age too early to realize the rare precious jewel they are relinquishing. There must be both encouragement and inducement offered them to go on farther. "No illiteracy" in Denver by 1930 is an illuminating beacon worthy of the ambitions of a great city and worthy of an effort in behalf of the youth who are to be the crowning glory of our future greatness. We can well open the way to such a happy consummation making Education Week a growing and lasting institution. THE DYER BILL FAILS. most completely organized and structed filibusters in the history nocratic minority has succeeded measure sponsored by the Nation ed People, and carrying the ca. There was never a more or a baser denial of human ju- ried on for twelve years to ma DUE to one of the most completely organized and in many respects most infamously conducted filibusters in the history of the United States Senate, the Democratic minority has succeeded in killing the Dyer anti-lynching bill, a measure sponsored by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and carrying the hopes and prayers of every Negro in America. There was never a more wanton destruction of a righteous measure nor a baser denial of human justice. Thus the great fight that has been carried on for twelve years to make lynching a federal crime has been brought to an end. For the National Association and its many tributary branches, for the churches, lodges, clubs and kindred organizations that have given largely of their means, for the noble-hearted white citizens and courageous Negroes who have fought in season and out for this measure, there is no disgrace in this final defeat. All have stood bravely, all have faced the firing line with an intrepidity worthy of trained soldiers. The southern Democrat has had his day, and we are not even charitable enough to pray that God may have mercy on his soul when he appears before the great judgment seat. Just why a measure of such farreaching consequence, a law designed to protect all citizens alike, should be made a political football is beyond us to reason out. Yet such was the fate of the Dyer bill. We regret to say that the Republican party did not meet the occasion. Its submission to a bald threat and surrender to a weaker force can only be classed either as political cowardice or hypocrisy, perhaps both. Were Republican senatorial leaders really in earnest, and did they meet every emergency as bravely as they should? The day will come when some one is going to be called upon for an answer to these questions. We confess that we cannot sum up the situation adequately at this time without some feeling. We cannot dismiss the thought that there has been betrayal some place. Like every other great Negro publication in America, the COLORADO STATESMAN has battled uncompromisingly for the Dyer bill, because we believed it to be just; because we believed that mob law and anarchy should no longer stalk the land unchecked. The Democratic filibuster on the Dyer anti-lynching bill serves once again to emphasize the pitilable situation in which the Senate finds itself of being unable to transact business without practically an unanimous consent. What has been termed "the most august legislative assembly on earth" may be reduced to impotency by a mere handful of its members, and it can do nothing to prevent. It is a condition which would be to laugh were it not so serious. By its rules the Senate accords every member the privilege of speaking on anything at any time and for an indefinite time. One member, then, can hold up all action so long as he is physically capable of keeping the floor. Several members, alternating, can continue the process indefinitely. If the Senate is agreed upon a matter, but for the few, the insignificant minority can, if it so desires, prevent the expression of this majority. Yet the Senate is referred to as the best example of a deliberative body; it is an important part of a government supposed to be representative and functioning according to the desire of the larger number of the people. It would seem that the Senate would quickly change such a rule, but that is not to count on politics and the minority. Some little talk has been engaged in, but nothing ever has been done, and the outlook is that nothing will be done soon. The few will not yield the privilege of blocking the many without a long drawn out fight, and thus far there has been no disposition to enter into such fight. So matters drag along, and when the minority starts out to talk a measure to death, the majority proposes compromise. Some day the people will realize that they are the ones making the sacrifice and will begin to do some talking on their own account. Meanwhile we may expect filibusters on most any occasion. It is one way to prevent the President from carrying out his policies, and therefore one way to better chances for Democratic success two years hence.

DENVER COLORED CIVIC ASSOCIATION HOLD VERY INTERESTING MEETING. The Denver Colored Civic Association held a very interesting meeting last Wednesday evening at 2630 Welton street, it being the annual election of officers. A short address by Mr. John Woodson, a very prosperous bus- iness man of Philadelphia, was very instructive and was listened to with rapt attention. After the president's annual address the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President ..... Thos. Campbell 1st Vice President.....Leroy J. Perkins 2nd Vice President.....Wm. R. Herndon 3rd Vice President.....J. L. Burnett Secretary ..... W. R. Chapman Asst. Secretary ..... O. L. Lawson Treasurer ..... Jas. C. Cooper Board of Directors. Joseph D. D. Rivers Wesley Lyons J. R.

Campbell, ex-officio PRESIDENT'S ANNUAL ADDRESS To the Officers and Members of The Denver Colored Civic Association, Greeting: It affords me great pleasure, gentlemen, to be able to look into your faces tonight and say to you that "we have fought a good fight and have kept the faith." We find ourselves now upon the threshold of another year. For four years we have remained steadfast at the wheel and kept the ship within her course. We have encountered, at times, some heavy fogs and rough seas, but the old ship has been able to keep afloat by the loyalty and devotion of the splendid crew aboard her. While it is true that some of our crew have deserted during the past year, we may congratulate ourselves that we have taken on many more worthy seamen than we have lost. Our city is no different from most cities from the standpoint of race unity and race organizations, and like all other cities we have an over-plus of useless clubs and organizations that take up the valuable time, energy, effort and means of many of our ablest men who could render the race and the community greater service if they would only get away from those things that do not and cannot help us in the great march of progress and better citizenship. Here, in the Denver Civic Association, we have an opportunity to increase our influence and become a factor to be recognized in the civic affairs of our city, but we prefer to shine socially rather than commercially. There is nothing that we deplore more than the lack of the undivided support of our ministers and professional men in such an organization as this. Is it possible that our ministers are only interested in their churches, and our professional men solely in their professions, with no thought of the civic uplift and progress of the race? Unless we can secure the undivided support and encouragement of the members of our association in this great work, our progress will be slow and uncertain. For many years we have been merely marking time, waiting anxiously for the command: Forward! March! The Denver Colored Civic Association has come forth ready to lead our group against the mighty wall of civic and commercial prejudice and destroy forever the great barrier. Men, let us be not discouraged. We have a great work to accomplish, and it can only be done by perseverance and devotion. During the past year, as an outgrowth of The Denver Colored Civic Association, we have organized and incorporated The Denver Colored Civic Building Association. In less than one year of its existence we have actually taken over property worth $5,500 and have paid $1,000 on the same and ready to pay $500 more when due. You have paid in full your pledge of $100 to the Presbyterian Hospital fund, beside numerous other donations to worthy causes. We have nothing to be ashamed of and much to be proud of. It is to be regretted that many of our members have allowed themselves to forget or neglect their annual dues to the association. During the visit of Mr. Charles S. Gilpin, the noted actor, to our city last November, it was our distinguished pleasure and honor to tender him a notable banquet. The press, locally and nationally, gave prominent space to the affair and we feel proud of the effort. The members should attend the regular meetings and get what is going on and coming off. Our nevt great annual Lincoln-Douglass banquet will call for the united and untiring efforts of every member to make it excel last year's banquet. Members, get ready. Tonight is the annual election of officers and directors of the association. Let us choose wisely for our officers for the ensuing year. Elect such men only who can and will attend the meetings of the board of directors and the association. It is with sincere regrets that we are to lose the valuable services of T. T. S. Rector as a member of the board of directors, owing to his advanced age, and I would recommend that he be made an honorary member of the board for his past faithful services. I recommend that we either elect or appoint a historian for the association. We should all feel proud of the harmony and unity of action upon all civic and racial matters that has existed during the past year between the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. and The Denver Colored Civic Association and their respective officers. In closing I beg to offer my sincere thanks and appreciation to the officers and members who have so ably assisted me in the administration of the association for the past year, and the board of directors, whose ever ready and invaluable support helped to make another successful year of our association's life.

By Mary Graham Bonner (©, 1922, Western Newspaper Union.) NOW the minister was young and enthusiastic and eager. He loved his work, he loved the parish. He loved the people. They were a bit too talkative at times. They did enjoy telling him just how he should preach and act and think and do. But it was all so well meaning that it failed to annoy him. Sometimes when he might have been annoyed he became amused instead. It was so much the better way. The minister was extremely attractive. Every woman in the parish knew that. Every man admired the minister, too. His was a most engaging personality. But things became a trifle awkward when it appeared as though the minister could not talk to any one of the opposite sex for more than ten minutes without arousing observations. And how weary he did get of being told he mustn't take the last piece of cake in a dish. It was so tiresome a bit of so-called witticism. He realized that it might be difficult for a minister to be permitted to choose a wife for himself. He somehow had a new admiration for ministers who appeared to have done their own matrimonial choosing. He feared that one might even take almost anyone to dodge the constant comments and chatter on matrimony which an unmarried man seemed to encounter. And then the minister fell in love! Oh, madly and rapturously in love. And with a girl from out-of-town whom people said was not the type for a minister's wife, at all, at all. And the minister had said he hadn't looked for a type, he had picked out the one he had cared for. He even heard people whispering the word "vamp." "A vamp who had RWIN MYER He Came Into the Chapel and Told of His Engagement. He Came Into the Chapel and Told of His Engagement. ensnared him," someone said. He inquired the various definitions of the word "vamp." He almost failed to be amused; he became so angry. And this was the joyous Christmas season when love and good will should have been in the hearts of his people! A man told him a "vamp" was a dangerous delight. A woman told him a "vamp" was a woman without principle. A young boy told him a "vamp" was a misunderstood, innocent lady with sense enough to appreciate that "men" of seventeen were not children. An oculist told him that a "vamp" was an adept at the possible uses of the eye muscles. An old man said a "vamp" was a dear little girl. And a mother told him a "vamp" was a dangerous creature from whom every mother should keep a son an from a deadly poison. A young girl told him she envied a "vamp" and wished she could be called one. And a father told him that a "vamp" was one from whom it is best to keep away the son, but whose society it was all right for an older man to enjoy. He sought the dictionary's version and found "Vamp" described as dealing with such things as feet, short hose, parts of boots and shoes, music and various other things. They were making the Christmas decorations for the church when the minister came into the chapel and told them all of his engagement. "The wedding is to be on Christmas eve," he said. Everyone stopped winding ground pine and looked amazed. They muttered congratulations, and then the future wife appeared and worked with them. And then they all began to feel better. For while they had been gossiping and quarrelling pettily as they had worked, the future wife of the minister brought with her the spirit of the Christmas season. Perhaps she wasn't a typical wife for a minister they concluded, but she was an ideal wife for a minister. For she lived and breathed good will and cheer and her gaiety freshened the very atmosphere of the place and gave them new incentive. The minister called her his "vamp!" His definition of one was: "A Merry Christmas in real life!"

Service is one of the ways by which a tiny insect like one of us can get a purchase on the whole universe. If he finds the job where he can be of it is hitched to the star of the world, and moves with it.—Richard Cabot. It is interesting reading (to those of us who like the good things of the table), of the dainty dishes which are served in Paris. France is par excellence, the land of gastronomical combinations. Paris being the largest, most im- ble), or the daily dishes which are served in Paris. France is par excellence, the land of gastronomical combinations. Paris being the largest, most important city, the contributions of the whole of France converge in Paris. Almost every district has its special dish perfected by centuries of experiment and for which it produces the very best of materials. Stuffed macaroni, a favorite dish, is said to have been invented by the composer Rossini and tradition has it that he used to prepare it himself with a golden syringe. The syringe, a large one with a piston, is filled with truffled meat and savory seasonings, the end of the syringe is inserted in the dry macaroni tube, and with slow patient the filling is forced into the macaroni until the hollow is filled. Then the macaroni is baked in a sauce and served hot. Another, equally interesting and complicated and also secure against the American invasion, is bottled chicken. The bottle is pyramidal in shape, the kind used for Burgundy. The spring chicken is skinned, the skin slipped into the bottle with two long sticks like chopsticks and spread out until it lines the bottom and sides completely. The fowl is then boned, seasoned and chopped until it is of a soft putty-like consistency, and in this state is poured into the bottle, the bottle corked and sealed and set into a hotwater bath where it is boiled for an hour or two; then set aside, chilled on ice for serving. The waiter who serves this dainty runs a glass cutter around the bottom near the base and a sharp blow knocks out the bottom. Then the chicken slips out firm and tight in the skin. Nancy produces the finest sausages in the world and at St. Menchould are prepared truffled pigs' feet. From Normandy comes tripe a la mode de Caen. The story goes that one Sidoline Benoit invented this dish, and for centuries it has been made by the Benolts from father to son. Life is not first lived and then understood; it is properly lived till understood; when well understood, life begins a new career of achievement and worth.—Rev. George Gordon. WAYS WITH MUTTON The English appreciate mutton, and America is coming to know more about the wholesome meat, and is learning to serve it in different ways. The wooly taste, which is so objectionable, is not present. If the animal has been carefully dressed. If the cook removes the skin from the meat it will remove every trace of the wooly flavor. ```markdown ``` Mutton Macaroni.— Take two cupfuls of cooked macaroni, three cupfuls of diced cooked mutton, one-half cupful of tomato puree, one teaspoonful of curry powder, one egg, one and one-half tablespoonfuls of butter, and salt to taste. Heat the tomato, add the curry, one tablespoonful of butter and a scant teaspoonful of salt with white pepper to taste. Remove from the fire and add the egg beaten lightly, then the diced mutton and the macaroni cut in half-inch lengths. Taste to see if properly seasoned. Butter a baking dish and on it mound the mixture; sprinkle generously with buttered crumbs and cover tightly; place in a moderate oven. When heated through remove the cover and brown. Loosen carefully and slip onto a hot platter. Garnish with parsley; serve with crisp celery and baked sweet potatoes. Shepherd's Pie.—Take one pound of cold cooked mutton, one pint of cold boiled potatoes, one-half an onion grated, one cooked carrot finely minced or grated. Cut the mutton and potatoes into dice, put them with the onion and carrot into a deep dish, add one cupful of stock or water, salt, pepper and bits of butter. For the crust pare and boil four medium-sized potatoes; mash them, add one-quarter cupful of cream and salt and pepper. Beent until very light, add flour to roll in a thick sheet, cover the top of the dish, making a cross in the crust for a vent to let out the steam. Bake one hour in a moderate oven. A few capers and a stalk of celery added to the pie will vary the seasoning. Mutton en Casserole—Take a piece of mutton cut from the shoulder, cut in serving-sized pieces and brown in a little hot fat, dredge with flour, season well, add boiling water to cover, a diced carrot, one onion and salt and pepper to season. Cover the casserole and cook slowly for several hours. The flour will thicken the sauce so there will be gravity all ready to serve with the meat and vegetables.

SOUPS AND GARNISHES Soups will never grow passe, for with too many a soup is the attractive dish of the meal. There are such varieties that he is indeed hard to please who cannot find one to his liking. Vermont Chicken Soup—Take six meal. There are such varieties that he is indeed hard to please who cannot find one to his liking. Vermont Chicken Soup—Take six cupfuls of well-seasoned chicken stock, add a little grated onion, a head of lettuce shredded and one cupful of peas. If the peas are fresh, simmer until they are done. Beat an egg, add enough bread crumbs to make a paste and shape into balls. Drop the balls into the soup and simmer until well heated; serve hot. - Quick Bouillon.—Cut fine one pound of fresh beef and a slice of fat pork. Put into a saucepan with one cupful of cold water, one carrot, one onion finely minced, and cook fifteen minutes; then add two cupfuls of boiling water. Simmer for an hour, then press through a fine sieve. Season with salt, pepper and celery salt. Cheese Balls.—Take one-half cupful of flour, half a cupful of milk, a tablespoonful each of butter and cheese. Mix in a double boiler, cook until smooth and 'hick, add one egg well beaten and cook long enough to set the egg. Set aside to cool. Form into balls the size of hickory nuts, drop into boiling soup, cook five minutes and serve immediately. Leftover Meat Dish—Put through the meat grinder two or three medium-sized potatoes, season well, add one small onion also ground through the meat grinder. In a little pork sausage fat cook the potato and onion until well sealed then place in a well-buttered baking pan with a layer of chopped roast beef and garnish with halves of cooked pork sausages. Bake until the potato and onion are cooked. Serve from the dish. See that all the potato water and onion juice is added for it will be needed for moisture. Rice Soup.—Cook one-fourth of a cupful of rice in three cupfuls of boiling water with one teaspoonful of salt, one slice of onion and a stalk of celery. When the rice is cooked add two red pimentos and press through a sieve; add two cupfuls of cream and the same of chicken or veal stock, one-eighth of a teaspoonful of pepper and three tablespoonfuls each of butter and flour cooked together and added to bind the soup. Bring to the boiling point, sprinkle with chopped celery and serve pling hot.

When making the fruit cake for the winter use any recipe desired, place in round pans or use the cooker after 15 minutes to let the stea mescape, or after the steaming dry off for half an hour in a moderate oven. The cake has a much better flavor and texture steamed first, then baked. Cake Stand At the this season of the year bacon with green peppers makes a most appealing breakfast dish. Wash the peppers and cut them in rings, removing the seeds. Soak for twenty minutes in salted ice water, drain, dry and fry in the bacon fat. Keep the well-drained bacon hot in the oven and serve the peppers when tender in the center of the platter with the bacon arranged around them. Gluten gems are liked by others than those who find it necessary to diet. To two cupfuls of gluten flour allow a teaspoonful of salt, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, one egg and two cupfuls of milk or half milk and half water. Sift the dry ingredients, beat the egg, add the milk and flour and beat again until light and foamy. Have the pans hissing hot when the mixture is poured in. When the appetite needs coining cut the bread for toast in finger-sized pieces, toast and butter and pile log-cabin fashion when serving. A sprinkling of salt on the breakfast grapefruit is an improvement in serving instead of sugar. The salt brings out the flavor of the fruit. This is good news to those who are denied sugar. Almond Bread.—Make a sponge at night with a quart each of water and gluten flour, add a yeast cake dissolved in a little water, let rise in a warm place overnight. In the morning add two teaspoonfuls of salt, one cupful of blanched almonds finely chopped and enough gluten flour to mold. Knead well, mold into loaves and bake when light. This makes two loaves.
