Makinn Butter Balls.

The reason so many women find 1t
a trouble to make butter balls is that
the butter is not of the right. consis-
tency and the paddles are not cold
enough.
Butter should be soft enough to
mold easily, but far removed from the
melting stage. The paddles should be
Dipped into ice water, so they do not
stick.
Serving butter in this form, besides
being daintier, is decided economy.
In helping oneself from a slice men
and children are apt 20 do it too lib
orally, and large part of it is wasted
Keep the butter balls on the ice uh-
til Just before serving.

ROBERT ON THE STUMP.

Senator LaFollette is stumping the
state for the republican ticket. and
his audiences are something immense.
Mr.. LaFollette says that while we did
not get all we asked for at the re-
publican national convention, we will
get it next time. At any rate, the
democratic party, which is not united
on any great principle, would be
entirely helpless when attempting to
work out any progressive policy.

TO CLEAN SATIN SLIPPERS.
Rubbing with Stale Bread Is Perhaps
the Best Method.

If you wore satin slippers last win
ter and find upon taking them out this
season that they are soiled it is we'll
to clean them at once.
Never leave off the work of freshen-
ing and renovating party things until
the day you are invited to go out. One
always has an unexpected invitation,
and finds to her misery that all her
party finery needs two or three days
work on it.
So get out your evening slippers
now and see that they are thoroughly
cleaned and ready for wear.
If the satin is but slightly soiled, get
some pieces of stale bread and rub
the surface gently with it. This takes
off all small discolorations.
Kneaded rubber will do the same
work, although some women do not
like it because it crumbles off on the
satin
If the slipper is still soiled looking

PLAIN BUT SIMPLE LUNCHEON.
Simple, inexpensive Dishes That Are
Easily Prepared.

1t is often puzzling to know just
how to plan a luncheon menu that
shall at once be inexpensive, dainty,
and easily prepared Here is a sug-
gastion:
Tomato Bisque.
Boiled Salmon with Lemon Sauce.
Broiled Chicken
Peas. Candied Sweet Potatoes
Saltines. Fruit Salad. Cream Cheese.
Cabinet Cream. Sugar Waters.
Cafe Nor.
For the tomato bisque put one-fourth
Of pound of butter in a saucepan,
and when it is melted add the con-
tents of can of tomatoes, with a
cupful of cooked rice, a cupful of
white broth, and salt and pepper Cook
slowly for three-quarters of an hour,
then remove from the fire, pour
through sieve, and cook again for
ten minutes, when it is ready to serve.
The boiled salmon may be served
cold. The lemon butter sauce is
made by adding the juice of lemon
to plain butter sauce.
Candied sweet potatoes are made
by placing rather thick slices of cold
boiled sweet potatoes into a frying
Pan with a liberal supply of butter,
after rolling them well in sugar. Fry
a deep brown.
Cabinet cream is a delicious dessert.
Whip until stiff a pint of rich cream.
and add a third of a box of gelatine
dissolved a water. Dip a glass serv-
ing dish in cold water, then line it
with currant jelly, and cover with a
layer of grated macaroons and this
in turn with a layer of whipped cream.
Repeat the order until the dish is filed
with the last layer of cream. Place
a single rose in the center.

his machinery, clothing, etc., and is
not that reasonable? We know a
farmer who has made a considerable

deserted the republican party and is
shouting for Bryan because he thinks
his machinery costs too much. You
see, he has a narrow outlook-would

ed the Importance of looking to the
political conditions of this city by

railroad station So the crowd was
quite large at the hall; but when
the expectant ones found that it
was only rehash of Bryan canned

J. M. Donnelly's large new graphic
phone, they were considerably dis
appointed. Several from the country
were thus deceived. The reproduc-
tion, however, was very fine, filling
the hall With the volume of Mr.
Bryan's penetrating voice. All pres

as much as they would with the real
speaker.

never considered it necessary for him
to call upon all of his associates in
business to deposit certain per cent.

is all that any money lender or de-
position asks. State and national laws
requiring the bankers to give absolute
security to their depositors are all that
reason could dictate. A deposit of
one or several hundred million dollars

tional laws along this line will
remedy all evils. The Wisconsin
laws are almost good enough as they
are.
Mr.. Bryan's retreat from every
position he finds unpopular leads us
to the conclusion that he is not the
one and only spotless brave patriot in
the country The way he deserted
free silver, and dropped government
railway ownership, and backed down
from his demand for Sullivan's re-
moval from the democratic committee,
and the isolation of other questionable
characters and societies, compels us to
believe that there is about him much
of the politician trimming his sails to
| popular breezes. Those who set him
up for great hero-almost Il deity
should think of this great failing in
| his character.
Whether or no. willy -nilly, Mr..
Bryan wants to be president, and he
is pulling every wire known to
scheming politicians to get there if
he can.
The money panic of year ago was
created by interests in Wall street to
damage the popularity of President
Roosevelt, who has been after these
certain interests with a sharp
stick. The magnanimous Mr.. Bryan
is trying to fasten the trouble to the
republican party. He can't do it.
The people believe that Roosevelt has
done his best against great odds, and
they prefer to see his policies con-
tinued.
In way, it would be nice if we
could buy all of our necessaries away
down cheap. and sell the products of
our labor away up high. But economic
laws do not work out that way. Our
neighbors' interests are 'inextricably
intertwined' with our own. When

After the votes are counted. it will
be found that while the republican
party lost some, the principal cause of
the extra bad scare was due to the
excessive lung power of the Bryan

faith and congressman or state legis-

POLITICAL NOTES

Democratic writers try to make
farmers dissatisfied with five-cent
hogs. Well, FIVE cents do not show
mp like six, but all farmers know
that there is great money in hogs at
five cents per pound. The farmers of
this county did pretty we'll when hogs
were 23f and cents per pound, and
they paid as much for their machinery
as they do now. When they raise all
their 70 cent corn, they can either
feed it to ive-cent hogs or sell it. II
is good profit either way. The local
market dropped only to four cents a
year ago. That was the only serious
break in the dozen prosperous years
since democratic hard times; but the
democratic editors are trying to make
much of it.

A year or so ago Mr.. Bryan
vehemntly demanded that Roger Sui
livan of Illinois be fred from the

cause his political character was said
to be so bad that he was unfit to as
sociate with Bryan democrats. AT
the big Bryan parade in Chicago the
other day Mr.. Bryan cheerfully rode
in the parade with--Mr. Sullivan.
Mr.. Bryan is in, hand and glove,
with every shady element of the
democratic party. He is working
tremendously with Boss. Murphy and
Tammany hail, the worst organization
in American politics. and such
characters as Tom Taggart. Haskell
