Some ingenious mind bethought OF
the grape dip, that is nothing more
than a tall tumbler of oval shape.
that rests in n silver stand not unlike
a soda glass holder.
The true palatableness of grapes
is frequently lost because of their
temperature. Merely douching them
in cold water while washing them is
not sufficient. They should be thor
oughly chilled before serving, and as
this is not always practicable when
the available space in the refrigera-
tor is taxed, the grape dip ome as
a special boon.
The glass is partially filled with
crushed ice, not faxed, or ii will dis
solve too quickly, then the grapes
are placed within and shortly become
thoroughly chilled.
All fruits and berries should be
carefully washed and picked Oye be-
fore serving. Many embarrassing
moments have been experienced by
guests as well as the hostess through
neglect on the maids part TO correct
ly examine the fruits for soil and the
various kinds of small bugs that live
upon them.
Pearl handled fruit knives are
back again in fashion. If you hap
pen to possess your grandmother
kind, bring them to the light OF the
sun once more.
A basket of japanese willow OF
wicker in a dull brown makes a mos
attractive centerpiece when hlled
with fruits. The effect is especial,
good when the contents are grace
fully spilled upon the table, says th'

New fruit baskets this season are
of a very soft fibre, slightly boat
shaped, with low, square handles. 4

The Monroe Doctrine
And Its Many FallacieS
ny profes.or ARTHUR n. WHEELER OF Yale

H@ HE Monroe doctrine, which is the eleventh commandment Of
this government, is the embodiment of NATIONAL
~ GREED AND SELFISHNESS. A recent secretary of.
state is quoted as saying that this government, in foreign
affairs, was run on a principle that was a combination of the Golden
Ruae and the Monroe doctrine. The man that can associate the two
or assmilate them must be a wonderful scientist and mathematician.
We have followed this Monroe doctrine as u main political principle
on the plausible theory that we should carry our ideas of government
to all nations.
In following out this doctrine we have been carried away with
the theory that our particular form of government was fitted for every
nation IN EVERY STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT, and no more
crazy illusion ever entered a mans mind. Al republican form. of gov
ernment is thejworst possible for certain nations, but we have been
advancing theffanaey of forcing this Of Others. If it is such q desir-
able and successful form of government, why not leave it TO Elk
AMPLE to spreadsit to other nations?
AS A NATION WE THINK WE MUST ALSO ADVANCE OUR RE-
LIGtoN-THE cHREsTAN RELlGloN-EvEM If 1T TAKES cuNBoATs
TO DO. IT AND 1T HAS TO BE SPREAD AT THE POINT or THE

get from a friend is this: DON'T MAKE A GAhKET
OF YOUR MIND"
1t has been said that one ought to know>somethng OIL
everything and everything of something. But, like every
other rule, this needs explanation before it can convey any DEFINITE
meaning to the mind. The something of which you should know
everything should be RELATED TO YOUR VOCATION IN
LIFE. 1t should give YOU an advantage as a worker II your WI
field. It should be useful, not ornamental. 1t should not be a maIer
of vanity, but a matter of calculated utility. The something winch
you should know of everything is in the nature of things limited.
Never take trouble to remember what can be searched out In a
reference library OF in reference books of your own. 1t is much bet
ter to know WHERE information on a hundred points can be OBJ
tanned than to know all about five points SO that you can give your
knowledge as from a book. If you apply yourself to the sort of mem
orzing that I am approving, you will be astounded at the range of
your possibilities. Most human knowledge is recorded somewhere.
Make it your business to KNOW WHERE WHATEVER YOU
WANT is RECORDED. When you read, read with that end in
view. Keep a memorandum that will refresh your memory as to the
exact sort of information to be obtained from a particular book. Let
your reading cover a field, but don't load down your mind with what
it is bound to refuse to carry. &
In practice the pigeonhole is everything. 1t does for a mental
worker what an automatic piano player does for the person behind
the keys. The drudgery of lingering is avoided, and one can give
exclusive attention to the element of harmony. So, relieved of theg
drudgery of remembering, the mind is able to devote itself to syn
thdic work, to original work, TO WORK THAT MEANS SOME1I
THING for oneself and for the world.
Therefore, I end as 1 began: Throw away the trumpery of knowl
edge. Seek for wisdom, not dead facts. Don't make a garrett of your
God given mind. And remember that, for the mind, as for the stom
ach,, Indigestion always is the Introduction to dyspepsia

"TALK 1T OVER"

One of the strongest planks in the
Fordyce platform is that of direct
nominations at the primaries.
Why should it be necessary for the
people to elect set of delegates and
go to all the extra expense of having
conventions to nominate men for Of
flee?
Everyone who has given the mat
ter any thought knows that it is IN
THE CONVENTIONS WHERE THE
BOSSES GET IN THEIR WORK.
It is comparatively easy for a po-
litical machine to get control of IA
few delegates and thus secure the
nomination of candidates who will
obey the bosses, BUT IT WOULD BE
ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE FOR
THE MACHINE TO CONTROL ALL
THE PEOPLE IF THERE WERE
NO DELEGATES AND NO CONVEN-
TION AND THE PEOPLE DID THE
NOMINATING THEMSELVES.
Such a system as the Colby-For-
dyce platform calls for would put
every political hos out of business
quick and would KEEP THEM OUT.
Dory Strong and his man jack
SON are OPPOSED to direct nominal
tions ut the primaries. OF COURSE,
for they could not then keep control
so easily.
Those who think that the Colby
F0rdyce movement is merely to build
up a new machine with bosses need
only study this one plank in the re-
form platfAh- txaIiIizc how foolish
such an argument is.
If GIVEN A CHANCE, THE COLI
BY MEN WILL PASS A LAW ABoI-
IsHING THE PARTY CONvEN-
TIONs, AMP ALLOW THE PEOPLE
THEMSELVES TO NOMINATE
THEIR CaNDInATEs AT TIE PRI-
MARIES.
That would make the people their
b~osses,s Would IT not? There
would be no slate, prepared in some
body's pr4tate Office, read of to a
convention of delegates who nomi-
nate all who are so named, with a
