THE DOMESTIC REALM.
q Budget of Information That May
Come Handy to the House
wife.

Cover a custarI while cooling and o
thick skin will not form on the top.
Cakes will not stick to their tins
If placed on a damp cloth when re-
moved from the oven.
Green vegetables preserve their
color better if they are boiled rapid
ly and left uncovered.
White kid gloves and slippers can
be cleaned with dry pipe clay. Use
a stiff brush for the purpose and rub
till the spots disappear.
Very wet boots should be filed
with oats when they are taken off
and allowed to, remain till the next
day. The oats will absorb the mois-
ture and keep the original shape of
the boots.
Clean your walls, whether tinted or
papered, with bread which is not less
than a day old. Directly the piece
OF bread you are using becomes
soiled take a clean piece, for rubbing
with dirty bread only rubs in stains
instead of removing them.
BoraX is used in the laundry to
soften the water and thus make
washing easier and quicker than it
would be otherwise. BoraX, dissolved
in a little boiling water and added
to the starch, prevents the iron from
sticking and gives a fine gloss to
linen.
Don't keep food warm in the oven
for late corners to meals. A better
plan is to put it on a plate or in a
basin, cover it down with a tin and
stand it over a saucepan of hot wa
ter. In this manner the food may be
kept hot without being dried mp. as
it is sure to be if put in the oven.
70 cook sweet potatoes Mexican
style boil them until tender, peel and
cut in halves lengthwise. Put one
tablespoonful of butter and two of
minced onion into a saucepan and
brown. Add one heaping tablespoon
full each of green and red pepper,
minced, two tablespoonfuls of tomato
catchup, one of vinegar and a tea
spoonful of brown sugar. Stir well
and pour over the potatoes.
Use newspaper for window clean
ing. Fold the paper into a pad, wet
1T and squeeze out as you would a
sponge. Rub vigorously over the
panes, taking care to have the paper
so wet as to let the water run in
streams down the glass. When you
have well rubbed the glass leave it
for a few minutes and then polish it
with a dry newspaper. Low-priced
newspapers are best for window
cleaning, as they are not so stiff as
the more expensive papers and the
use of them will not only save the
wear and tear of busters but will
produce a better polish than the or.
binary method of cleaning.

and Creating General Havoc
Property Loss at Clifton, 5. C..
Will Prove Very Large.

Atlanta, Ga, June IA special to
the Journal from Spartanburg, S. C.,
says: Mill No. l, of the Pacolet Cot
ton Co., at Pacolet, in Spartonburg
county, was washed away Friday
night by a terrible cloudburst, and
mill No. 2 was totally destroyed. The
dams of three mills were washed out.
1t is feared there has been loss OF
life, as the mills employed a large
number of operatives who lived near
the mills. The warehouse of Mill ]
was washed away, with the total
stock of goods. The hotel, Presby.
terian church, livery stables and many
other buildings were washed away.
The flood is moving with the Pace,
let river, and is sweeping everything
before it.
AT Clifton, S. c., cotton mill No. /
was destroyed, and mill No. 2 is ex-
pected to be destroyed.
The property loss for this part OF
the country is very large.
Tiger river, between Greenville and
~Spartanburg, is out of its banks.
One span of the Southern railway
bridge over Tiger river at Greer was
washed out.
A dispatch from G%reenville, S. c.,
says: Reports are being received here
of great havoc wrought by a storm
Friday night and early Saturday
morning. The steel bridge across
Tiger river at Arlington, several miles
above here, has been washed away,
and the Southern railways trestle at
Duncan is gone. Several houses and
barns were washed away and much
property damage at Greers.

The republicans are getting to-

pr~otectionists that they will find
themselves outside the republican
ramparts, if they persist in their eff

those who believe that Mr.. Babcock
was never sincere in his promises to
reform those tariff schedules that
shelter the trusts, but there are 9th

made similar promises, who are
-credietd with a desire to redeem
them. How can they do so? The
majority of the republican members
of the next congress, hat will soon
meet, T determined stand patters,
and are pledged TO not change a
letter of the sacred law.
There is only one way open to
those republican members of con-

republicans willing to join such a
coalition, for the trust party has 81
majority in congress. 1t is hardly
likely that Ia independent republicans
IAN be found who will so vote. judy
ing by the past Mr.. Babcock certain
ly viii not do so. A bill to place
trust productions on the free list
will be introduced in the incoming
congress and an opportunity will be
thus given the supposed reformers
to curb the exorbitant trust prices.
The rules that the republican ma
jority in congress will again adopt
are intended to prevent any vote be-
ing taken on a bill that the leaders
do not approve. The power given the
speaker is so %autocratic that he can
refuse 10 recognize any member, to
call up a bill or offer an amendment
to one, that does not suit the repub-
lican leaders. But II republicans can
change the rules, if they vote with
the democrats.
Nearly every western state is rep
resented by one or more congress
men who promised the voters of their
district to vote for tariff reform, but
they will need a good deal of spuring
by the voters to make them keep
their word. There are two or three
Massachusetts, congressman who are
ready to vote for free raw materials
and n of them, Mr.. Lowering. will
urge the passage of his drawback
bill, which is in fact a modification
of the tariff. If a tariff bill of any
kind can be brought up for consider
alton, the democrats can propose an
amendment to place trust produc-
lions on the free list and every MEM
Der of the house will have to go on
record by a yea and nay vote. That
proposition will be defeated in all
probability and the democrats can
then present the matter to the jury
of all the voters of the United States
at the presidential election.

A Handy Question.

Joseph Chamberlain was delivering
a political speech in Birmingham,
England. The hall was so packed
that not another human being could
have crowded in. The enthusiasm
was tremendous; but suddenly q
scowling man arose in the middle Of
the crowd.
"What did Mr.. Gladstone say IL
1872" he howled.
"shame!' Put him out!" yelled
the crowd.
Three sturdy men hurled the in
terrupter a few yards, and others
helped hustle him to the street.
As he was picking himself up and
brushing off the dust, he grinncd
pleasantly at a man who had fol-
lowed him from the hall, and who
asked. "What did Mr.. Gladstone say
in 1922"
81 don't know" he replied, land \
don't care. l had a terrible tooth
ache, and l couldn't butt my way
through that crowd, an2 the only
thing to do was to get thrown out"

ONE TOWN IS ISOLATED.
Section of Bridge Over Broad River
I'm South Carolina Gives Way
Fifty Lives Lost.

Charlotte, n. c., June 9.-Develop,
r21nts in the devastated mill settle
ments at Pacolet and Clifton on the
Pacolet river in South Carolina do not
lessen the horrors of the situation
there although it is believed that the
loss of life will not exceed fifty per-
sons. The destruction of property by
the flood was far reaching, and even
yet a number Of mill points, where it
is feared damage has been done, can
not be heard from on account of the
prostration of telephone and tele-
graph wires.
Union, S. G., is isolated. The Lock
hart mills, below Pacolet, for whose
safety fears had been expressed, are
only slightly damaged. At eight
o'clock Sunday morning a 200-foot
bridge over Broad river between Spar
tanburg and Columbia gave way,
stopping traffic. The Southern
bridges at Lawson's fork, Middle
Tiger and Enoree river are gone, and
several bridges that still stand are I'M
safe.
Though the great food of water is
passing on to the ocean laden with
debris of every description and the
swollen streams are subsiding in the
Piedmont region, the loss of property
is increasing, and a conservative esti-
mate places the property loss at not
less than 8 100000. During Sunday
dead bodies were washed ashore here
and there, and occasionally a dismem-
bered limb would float to the banks.

FOOD FOR HI C
Should Contain All the Elements OF
Proper Nutrition md BE
Easily DfgestibIe.

There is nc branch of the culinary
art which requires more skill than
that of preparing food for the sick
and feeble. The purpose of food at
all times is to supply material for
repairing the waste which is constant
ly going on in the vital economy; and
hence it ought always to be chosen
with reference to it's nutritive value,
says Good Health. But during i'll
ness and convalescence, when the
waste is often much greater and the
vital powers less active, it is of the
utmost Importance that the food
should be of such a character as will
supply the proper nutrition. Nor is
this all; an article of food may CON
tain all the elements of nutrition in
such proportions as to render it a
wholesome food for those in health,
and not be a proper food for the sick,
for the reason that it's conversion
into blood and tissue lays too great
a tax upon the digestive organs.
Food for the sick should be palatable,
nutritious, and easily assimilated. To
discriminate as to what food will
supply these requisites, one must
possess some knowledge of dietetics
and physiology, as well as of the ma.
ture of the illness with which the pa
tient is suffering; and such a knowl.
edge ought to be part of the educa.
ton of every woman, no matter to
what cs.ss of society she belongs.
Hot buttered toast, tea, rich jel.
lies, and other dainties so commonly
served to the sick, are usually the
very worst articles of diet of which
they could partake. AS a rule elab-
crate dishes are not suitable.
Scrupulous n%eatness and care in all
the minute particulars of the cook.
ing and serving of food for invalids
will, add much to its palatableness,
The clean napkin on the tray, the
bright silver, and dainty china plate,
with perhaps a sprig of leaves and
flowers beside it, thinly-sliced bread,
toast or cracker, and the light cup
partly filed with hot cruel, are far
more appetizing to the invalid than
coarse ware, thickly-cut bread, and
an overlooking cup of Cruel, though
the cooking may be just as perfect.
So far as practicable, the wants of
the patient should be anticipated, and
the meal served a surprise.

Rank Heresy.
h Quay machine pulled off its
state republican convention without
a hitch and of course was insistent
in the platform adopted that the sa-
cree tariff must not be touched. In
deed this political combine that Ouav
manipulates, odorous as it is of boo
die and trust domination, went TO
the extreme in defense of protection
by declaring that: 1--WE believe it to
be the dictum of wisdom to let well
enough alone and not to imperil bust
ness interests by any suggestion of
present interference with revenue
legislation This means, probably,
that it is rank heresy to even talk
of tariff reform, let alone to attempt
it. But Quay and his machine politi-
clans will find that in PENNSYLVANIA,
as elsewhere, there Is a canker worm
eating at the heart of protection that
will soon destroy it. The high prices
that the trust beneficiaries are de-
handing are forcing people of limited
means to inquire what causes the
greatly increased cosE of living, and
many of them have already discovered
that the tariff is projecting the trusts
in their eXactions. The republican
masses are awakening to the fact that
the increase in wages is not keeping
pace with the advance in the cost of
living and are demanding a share OF
the trust prosperity that the repub-
lican party is boasting so glibly
about. Look out for political squalls.
THE inference is clear that Mr..
Hanna looks coldly upon the proposal
of running Mr.. Roosevelt for a second
term, contrasting sharply with his at
titude toward a Mckinley renomina-
ton. Yet if the president is in favor
with his party or the Hanna wing oft,
his case peculiarly calls for such an
Endorsement in advance as Mr., Hanna
opposes, since no other vice president
succeeding to the presidency by the
accident of death has ever been nomi.
mated by his party for a full presiden.
tial term. Mr.. Hanna himself nav or
may not be open to an offer of the re-
publican nomination next year. 1t
nov hooks very much as if he were.
But at any rate we here have evil
dence of the existence of strong oppo-
sition to Roosevelt. which is begin
