TO VERSATILE COOKS
Many Possibilities in Va
riouS Recipes Used in
Foreign Lands.

The clever cook has long since dis
covered the remarkable possibilities in
salads. She knows the opportunities
which salad recipes offer on the one
hand for attractively using Up left-overs,
and on the other, when sho has carte
blanche of materials, for producing
masterpieces Of savoriness. But unless
she has studied her profession IN foreign
LANDS, she does not know some Of the
unusual mixtures and novel dressings
which the European chef delights in.
Many countries have what might al
most be called their national salad. In
Italy, for example, the favorite salad
mixture is made Of the minced white
meat Of q roast chicken, soft boiled on

French beans. pounded with a mortar.
This forms PURGE which is carefully

dressing is made OF the finest oil, VIM

MUST IMPORT GIRLS.

The problem Of finding wives has be
come a serious one IN St Petersburg.
The male population exceeds the female
by $4,000 IN the Russian capital. and
the authorities are weighing plans fpT
importing prospective brides from the
provinces. The need OF wives, indeed,
has led 10 the making Of several for

THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.

When take foreign goods give American
goods in return If high tariff really benefited the
producer should have general rise of wages
in the protected industries during the last twenty live
years But no such economic phenomenon is in evil
dence.
Although the activities of the present administra-
ton in other directions have doubt had much to
do with making the tariff a secondary issue in the
present campaign, and although the confidence of the
public is much greater in Mr. Taft than in Mr.
Bryan that the latter is not likely to gain much by
raising that ISSUE the question of revision cannot
be neglected by the next administration. 1t is
fortunate, therefore, to have the candidate the
publican ticket for vice-president the mouthpiece of
the standpatters and reactonaries. Mr.. Tafts
views on the tariff by satisfactory, so
far as he has given them expression. But his in
clnatlons are towards greater rather than lesser
economic freedom and the logic of events may
ceivably lead him in the right direction No such
hope can be entertained in the case of Mr. Sherman
He represents the principles and expresses the ideas
Of the Cannon school of politics. Nothing in his
speech of acceptance is calculated to modify the be-
lief that his nomination mistake and that
his weakens rather than strengthens the
publican voters of the country.
