ishness OF husband means that the average rich
mans wife must either suffer agonies Of sef-de-
NAL from not being able TO share in the fun of her
still unmarried friends from time time else
she must invent way Of obtaining small
amounts. This is most difficult when all bills are
paid by check But It is well known fact that
trimmings in the bill of a trusted dressmaker
covers a multitude OF loans. and that there
shops that refund money for returned articles
Slow payment makes the latter resort a difficult
one as these negotiable articles be returned
only within limited time.
Bridge playing for stakes and betting on races
are other most uncertain ways OF acquiring ready
money, both mean heavy losses frequently

THE SEASON OF sHoRTCAKEs.
Recipe for Old-Fashioned Kind That Is Fit
for a King

The season of shortcake is at hand This deli
cacy is more truly American than is pie To be
sure, the French make what they call shortcake,
but 1t has little resemblance to the real article.
though bold writer's have dared to say II is
more wholesome. Foreign shortcake Is generally
a nathery sponge cake, served cold with layer
of Strawberries spread over the top and orna-
mented with whipped cream. Although II is likely to
be insipid in flavor they say ii cannot be burden
to the digestive organs. Is too often the case
with American shortcake. The latter. though pre-
pared from simple biscuit dough, is likely TO be-
come heavy and soggy when covered while hot with
sugar and Juicy strawberries This is especially
true Of a shortcake in three layers. in which case
the lowest layer often becomes positively uneat-
able, due of course. to the extra weight of the
other layers.
Hot biscuit served with strawberries and cream
is far better than a heavy, soggy shortcake. If,
however the cake is light and f1aky and the ber
ries very ripe and sweet, with accompaniment
of whipped cream. it is dish eft for a king.
Occasionally one sees Just such a dish made by
unpretsntious oldtime housewife. 1t is due.
no doubt. to these occasional successes that the
dish has become so popular. for. In spite of the
soggy heaviness of most shortcakes. hungry NOR
tails will insist on eating them trying to.
MAKING A STRAWBERRY CAKE.
Use very light biscuit dough from old and
tried recipe. roll out into two thin layers. brush
one over with a coating of melted butter put the
other layer top of it and bake A shortCake
put together in this way found less heavy than
when the cake split open while hot. The two
layers are easily separated. There is also not so
much hard crust when the layers baked

Labor's Public Enemy,

Your Labor Union men are a lot
OF public beggars, and your Unions
are nuisance. william ]. Bryan.
At a public meeting in Wheeling,
NJ. NJ. Garland, ex-President of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Steel Workers, declared that William
J. Bryan had used the above words
to him and to James Campbell.
President of the Amalgamated Win
dow Glass Workers of America.
Is NJ. NJ Garland a truthful man?
Let the workmen of this section ans
wer.
The foregoing was published prom
inently throughout the Ohio Valley
for the last ten days. Democratic
leaders and Democratic newspapers
have been studiously working to pre-
judice union working men, and have
made frantic efforts to deny or de-
credit the above statement.
William j. Bryan has been for the
last ten days in easy reach at all
times. A telephone or telegraph
message would have reached him at
any time in a few hours. He has not
denied the statement OF Mr.. Garland.
In view OF the laborIous attempts
of Democratic newspapers and Dem
ocrats in this section of the state to
deny or discredit Mr.. Garland's state
ment, the following affidavit, made in
