to Secretary Wilson he Informed the nahinet ofhcer that the newspapers hao
 orinted that he ridiculed the charSes pp1ada against his department and that ha had even said that 1t was 1mpos- sible" that there could have been any ssIeakage." MT. Cheatham sald 10 the sacretarv that he trusted he had been 's.nrtad incorrectly, as he did not think he was a man who would pre- iudpe A cause before 1t had been tried. Moreover. the cotton secretary said tbef to say that to give away secrets or inc Bureau of Statistics was 'impossi- hle" was to state an abSurdity.
 Mir. wilson did not deny the impeach- ment but assured MT. Cbeatham he was ready to afford every means possi1le for a complete investigation of the charges.
 MT. Cheatham is one of those who be- Iieva that whether intentionally or not, the Government statistical machinery has been used for bearish-- effect uRon the cotton market and that It's reparts had very frequently chimed in With the manipulations of those operators whose interest it was to keep down the price of cotton. No country in the world, nor any combination of coun- tries, insists MT. Cheatham. can com pete with the staple of the Southern cotton belt. and the demand for just that staple has been steadily increasing year by year, while the cotton of all other countries was losing in favor and without hope of substitution Tor American cotton.
 ''Yes," said Mir. Cheatham. "about l. 5O0,OO0 farmers in the South grow this staple that the world wants more than ever above any other and we continue to get the hot end of it. Our associa- tions means now to do some effective business for our people. If we can't get the Government to help us right away, we mean to take the press of the country into our confidence with the assurance that we shall not lack sym- pathy and material aid"
 Speaking of the increasing demand for American cotton. MT. Cheatham re- ferred to the reports of the erection or new cotton mills and the enlargement and improvement of old plants in Eng land Tn this connection he cited q communication just received from United States Consul General Richard Guen- ther, at Frankfort, Germany, published as a bulletin by the Department or Commerce and Labor. which has an lm-

The "Cnhhnre sna,re. g

At last the Bureau of Entomology of
 the Department of Agriculture has published the result of It's investiga-
 tions in Circular No. 62 of the awful
 cabbage snake" of Tennessee and neighborinE States, which two years
 ago played havoc with valuable gar
 den truck industry and turned upside
 down the appetftes of entire commu- mites.
 The Bureau made F. H. Crittenden | chief cabbage snake hunter and the
 result is he has spread before the world thrilling report. The cabbage | snake achieved a well-merited place | alongside of the rabbit about whose dormant cunning and latent ferocity
 The Washington Post has performed a | beneficent public service in warning innocent people of the dangers which lurked in the fields by rural roads and | pastoral paths. The Posts unremit- ting devotion to the cause of human ity against this terror of the woods and fields has brought to 1t startling | stories from many people who have | had narrowing experience with the
 rabbit, not the least among them be- ing an account of single rabbit chasing a pack of blood hounds, that had been put upon the trail of flee ing criminal, back in yelplng alright to their kennels The awful evolution of the rabbit began some months ago
 when a careless Tar Heel yokel placed
 upon the tongue of a captive rabbit a
 drop of North Carolina white corn
 liquor. which caused the rabbit to spit
 into the face of a bull dog and then
 run amuck throughout the adjacent country creating widespread conster-
 nation and outcries of unfeigned amazement. Since that time the breed
 of fiercely carnivorousf rabbits has multiplied astonishlngly.
 It Is doubtful, if there were another war. whether 1t would be more inter esting news to parts of Tennessee and other States that have been infested by the cabbage snake and the fell worm of a nauseated and mortified im-

 Comes iu Contact.

The woman you like to meet, and who never stays too long when she comes to see you, and to whom you reluctantly say good-by, may not be either rich or beautiful or particularly brilliant in in tellect, but she carries an unm istakabie charm with her which 1t might be well you, yourself, should seek to acquire She always says the Good morning" as though she particularly meant the good part of it. and when she shakes hands with you she is not satisfied to merely touch your fingers. When you look at her face, no matter how dark the day may be. you instinctively feel that the sun is shining. and she always infuses a feeling of comfort into the atmosphere about you, no matter what was ''in the air. just before she came in
 No matter how blue you felt while the door was closed between you, things get rose-coored very quickly after she steps across the doorsill, and. somehow. the smell of spring blossoms. the glint of birdwings and the flutter of sum- mer leaflets fill the air, which. before her advent was dreary with the odor of de- caying leaves, the gray of winter clouds and the moaning of he wind through the bare branches of the souls winter St. Paul Globe

 Haricot Soup.-Well wash a pint of beans, removing all the float or those that are damaged. then add these beans to three pints of cold water with a tea spoonful of salt, and, if liked, small onion and sliced carrot, with eight or ten peppercorns. Bring this to the boil, then let it cook gently for half an hour, when you stop the boil by pouring in about half teacupful of cold water Let it all simmer again, and repeat this watering every half hour or so till the beans are tender enough to sieve. ct is impossible to give time TOT JQlS. as IL uepcuuS ell tirely on the age of the beans) Now sieve the beans through hair sieve, diluting them as you do so with white stock (either meat or vegetable) till you get it to the consistency required.

TABLE MANNERS.

Always be prompt in attendance al meals, particularly when you are the guest of another.
 Never seat yourself at table until your hest or hostess gives the signal, and never, gentlemen. until all the la dies present are seated.
 Always sit quiet in your chair, neith- CT too near lie edge of the table. nor too far from it.
 Always let the napkin He upon one knee. Never spread it across the breast nor upon the lap. It is more customary in the best circles not to unfold it more than it's length.
 Never lean upon the table
 Never touch anything upon the la ble unless necessary, either the food CT the table furnishings
 Never tane more than one dish Of soup.
 Never crumble bread into your soup nor into your cup.
 Never press food upon a guest when he has refused.
 Never be disturbed by any accident that may occur; if possible let it pass without the slightest notice.-Green' I Fruit Grower

THE FINE ART OF COOKING
With a Little Study of Subject House wife Can Give Pleasing Va
 riety to Bill of Fare.

Unhappy Is the housekeeper who has allen into a culinary rut. She does lot always belong to that class who must cOunt every penny spent upon her table. More often she Is one of those women whose household allowance is neither very small nor very large. She Is not forced to devise new dishes from eco nomical materials, nor can she indulge in epicurean feasts. Therefore her task of planning meals Is apt to lack zest for herself, whereas if she would occasional ly embark upon astronomical voyage of adventure, the result would be stim ulating to her own interest and emi- nently pleasing when the family circle gathers around the dinner table
 For instance. many women who think that sweet potatoes boiled or baked are sufficient variant on the Irish or white potato, will find that they lend them selves to many other tasty dishes. nOta- bly, the recipes used by southern house keepers.
 For a breakfast dish or entree at din- ner, they make delicious scallOp. Take potatoes that have been boiled or steamed until tender, and when cold slice moderately thin. Put layer about an inch thick in the bottom of shal- low pudding dish. Sprinkle with butter and white sugar, add another layer of potatoes. then butter and sugar again Continue until the dish is filled Scatter butter and sugar over the top and pour over the potatoes just enough boiling water to keep them from burning. Cook half an hour in a moderate oven. or un- til the potatoes look transparent and are del!cately Drowned The sugar may be omitted and seasoning of salt and pepper used. Should the potatoes be- come dry, baste with melted butter Those who do not like too much butter will prefer this dish if half cupful of melted butter is mixed with boiling Wa ter. and used to haste the vegetable.
 Another way of serving the tuber is suited to dinner. luncheon or supper. Cut tbe cold potatoes into slices little more than an inch thick.

If you cannot, 1t Is due to an irritated or congestcd state ot the brain, which will soon de- velope into nervous prostratlon.
 Nature demands sleep, and it is as important as food; 1t is a part of her building and sustaining process. This period of unconsciousness relaXes the mental and physical strain, and allows nature to restore ex- hausted vitality.

 It is also a nerve builder; 1t nourishes and strengthens ev- cry nerve in your body, and creates energy in all the organs.
