- UIsvgr Invention.

A housekeeper with small children
found the closet room in her house
very limited, and invented the follow
ing device: A piece of smooth wire,
small enough to go through the hole
in the top of a safety pin, was fas-
tened to the first hook in the closet
Then she slipped on to this a number
Of large safety pins. The wire was
passed through or over each hook
with a number OF pins between, and
fastened to the last hook, being drawn
as taut as possible.
In hanging garments up, slip one or
two pins through the band, as may
be required. In this way a great
many dresses may be hung side by
side in small space and an article
can be hung up or taAen down with
out disturbing the others.
This kind of clothesline will prove
of great value in a summer hotel, cot
tage. or hall bedroom 1t can be
made to hold ones entire wardrobe
except the incest things, and each
garment can be seen without wasting
time in searching 70. 1t.

Stag Parties.

In planning stag party for hus-
band, brother or son remember that
men prefer plain. substantial food
rather than fancy salads, Ices and
cakes. a beefsteak supper is always
appropriate, or, if the supper is to be
given after cards or the theater,
creamed oysters on toast, club sand
wiches, Scotch woodcock or any of
the simpler dishes is more acceptable
to the masculine palate than the usual
supper party menu

THINGS GOOD TO REMEMBER.
Soda Crackers with Raisins and Al
monds-Onion in Gravy.

Dip any % me crisp soda crackers
In milk, but 20 not permit hem to be-
come too sodden. Brush with beaten
egg. sprinkle with sugar and spread
upon a platter, on which there is room
enough to lie singly. Put in the oven,
let them brown slightly, and sprinkle
with minced raisins and almonds. Lay
two or three together and serve with
whipped cream.
All white meats gain in flavor from
a delicate onion admixture with the
gravy. The nion is to be grated and
put over the meat before it has just
finished roasting and then blended
by basting. In this way one avoids
the burnt onion slices, which some
times result from other methods, and
which have, in way, caused the ad
dition of onion to be regarded with
disfavor
The bits of tongue and ham which
do not look well upon the table
should be saved and chopped up to-
gether for meat pies. Spinach pre-
pared with a butter sauce is mixed
with the fragments just before they
are put into the chopper. little
tomato ketchup is an improvement.
The thickening should be either grated
bread or cracker crumbs. The usual
pie crust is best. with a little niggard-
illness in the matter of shortening.

When Shoes Get Wet.

All shoes are ruined If wet too
often, and poor shoes sufer most Of
all. If the shoes have been thorough

MAN The NATION REauIREs.
John A. Johnson the Ideal Occupant
Of the Presidential Chair.

AS president. Gov Johnson would
have the qualities that might described
as logically and historically needful
at this time, representing both in
thought and by concrete achievement
all of the progressive reforms to which
the American people are now thorough
ly committed His personality and
his methods are such that, coming into
office after the strenuous and even
terrifying political and financial ex-
pertences Of recent years, he would be
prepared to hold all that has been
gained, restore an era of good feeling
and smoothly and comfortably prepare
the way for such additional advanced
Legislation as the times require. In q
word, Gov Johnson Is precisely the
kind of leader the nation requires at
this time, ready for new legislation to
meet new needs, but careful and con-
servative in his methods. The same
confidence-inspiring, vote-getting at
tributes that have made Gov John
son so popular in Minnesota that there
Is absolutely no question that he
could carry the state as the Demo
cratic presidential nominee will make
him equally popular with the voters
of the nation, once they have an op-
portunity to become acquainted WITH
the man.
Every political campaign has its In
dividual conditions. It is found in this
contest that Gov Johnson possesses
a strength peculiar to him alone and
by which he is certain to bring to the
Democratic party upwards of a million
votes in the middle west that have
hitherto been Republican. This condi-
ton insures beyond a reasonable
doubt victory for Democracy and Gov.
Johnson in the following states: Min
nesota North and South Dakota, ILL
nois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas, Ne
braska, Colorado, Montana, Washing.

APPEALS TO The VOTERS.
In His Name and with the Great
Cause Victory Is Assured to
the Party Of the People
Why Court Defeat?

Friends of Governor John A. John
son Of Minnesota have issued letter
and q pamphlet that together consti-
tute an address to the Democrats OF
the country. Both make strong ap-
peal TO Democrats everywhere to ex-
ert themselves to see that the Denver
convention shall be a deliberate body
that will look the field over and
choose a candidate who, while repre-
senting modern Democracy, can win
at the polls
The letter which is signed by Fred.
erick B. Lynch, treasurer of the Min

mittee, who has opened offices in the
Grand Pacific hotel, Chicago, is as fol-
lows:
Dear Sir: You are Democrat, and
Il is because you are Democrat that
this is addressed to you, with the feel
Ing that you will exert yourself to give
the party one of the greatest essen
tiaIs to victory, strong and accept
able candidate for the presidency.
The Democracy of the nation have
for u years been losing ground and
the belief Is general that under the
old conditions defeat is certain. For
months the party has been drifting
toward an autocratic convention,
where popular choice is to be subor-
dinate to personal will.
Minnesota Democrats feeling that
party duty transcends individual in
terest, have had the courage to
break away from the drift and offer
