MAI. VenabIe For Taft

Major Richard NJ. Venable. former
president OF the Park Board, and one
OF the most prominent Independent
Democrats in the State, declared re-
Gently for Taft and against Bryan.
In a straightforward shoulder in
terview Major Venable gives his rea-
sons for not voting the Democratic
ticket this time, although he is in sym
pathy with some parts Of the Demo
cratic platform He declares that while
he believes in the reduction oil the
tariff and wants very much to see this
done. he would prefer to trust Taft
rather than Bryan TO do il.
IL am for Taft" said Major Venable,
"as do not agree with Mr.. Bryan's
opinions on the various questions now
confronting the public.
II am opposed to Mr.. Bryan's atti-
tudc on free silver, the initiative and
the referendum. government owner
ship. the guaranteeing OF bank de-
posts. the method OF dealing with
trusts and many others.
1T is true tina, Mr. Bryan is not at
present talking about some OF the is
sues. but nevertheless people know
how he stands on them. To my. con-
ception Bryan is lacking in the sense
OF reality. He looks at things like a
boy.
THE policies Of the two parties do
not seem far apart, except that the
Democratic party is in favor of more
material reduction oi the tariff am
in sympathy with this. but after mature
thought prefer to trust a modihca-
ton oi the tariff to Taft instead of
Bryan. think that Taft is one OF the
greatest men this country has pro-
duccd His work in Cuba. Panama

a great exhibition oi administrative
ability As man al affairs and in
great things he is unsurpassed.

man instead of having broad views
and discussions. the canvass tends to
run down Ia Won said this i say this

W. 6. T. U. Convention

The 25rd Annual Convention oi Cecil
County W {. T. u. was held at Hope
well NJ. +. Church on the 23rd inst
The forenoon session being largely
devoted to the regular routine work
that marked the opening oi one oi the
best sessions oi this organization.
The reports by Superintendent OF
all Departments showed that the harm
iul effects oi alcohol, narcotics, de
moralizing publications and all that
tends toward the degradation OF our
citizens had been carefully studied and
placed before the public largely through
the press.
The evening session was no less OF
an educational value. The music and
an address by Miss Tlngling oi Eng
land closed the program Tor this CON
ventiun. and the members oi friends
ui the cause start on the 2Ith year of
their work with renewed interest and
energy.

SOME NEW TABLE KINKS.
Rock Candy for Coffee Instead Of
Susar-VoIeanoes of Rum.

Have you noticed that many host
esses are serving rock candy crystals
instead of sugar with after dinner cof
fee?" inquired an observing woman.
I've tried it myself and have found
that the prettiest effect is gained by
buying an equal amount each Of red
and white rock candy and mixing the
irregular shaped crystals in a low
glass bonbon dish.
These are served with a bOnbOn
spoon. There's an especial advantage
in this plan fof those who want very
little sugar, as the smallest quantity
may be taken, less than an ordinary
piece of cut sugar. This rock candy
is absolutely pure, very cheap, and
gives a particularly delicious flavor
to black coffee.
Another new kink l noticed at a
luncheon was the passing of two little
glass dishes with the salad course.
One dish held finely minced green
peppers and the other tiny slices of
little new onions. The guests took
what they wanted and sprinkled it on
the salad, which was a combination
Of lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers.
AT the same luncheon a fancy ON
elet with burning rum was served in
stead of the usual sweet course. In
stead of the ordinary river Of
fire running placidIy around the
the platter the effect was
quite spectacular and reminded one Of
miniature volcanoes. I found that this
effect was the result of stacking Jumps
of sugar in heaps at intervals round
the platter"

Boiled Tongue.

Try this dish some time when you
are almost at your wits end for some
thing different. Boil a fresh tongue in
salted water till tender with a sprig
of celery or parsley, small parsnip
carrot and onion. When almost cooked
take from water and skim and return
again to the water. About an hour be-
fore serving place in deep pan, pour
over following sauce, cover closely and
bake in moderate oven, turning in halt
an hour.
Sauce for AbOve-Melt two table
spoons of butter and add two table
spoons -four and two cups of water
which tongue was cooked in, two cups
of stewed and strained tomatoes, tea
spoon table sauce if liked, and salt and
pepper to taste.

AROUND THE HOUSE
SMALL THINGS THAT ARE WORTH
REMEMBERING.
Simple Manner in Which to Save
Thread on Misunderstanding
Bands fer Trimming-For
Neat Waist and Skirt.

Save Thread on Machine.-Raise
the foot of the machine to remove gar
ment you are sewing, but before cut
ting the threads lower the foot again
with top and lower threads toward the
back. You then can cut the threads
much shorter and the foot will hold
them firmly in place with no trouble
about the needle getting accidentally
unthreaded. The work can easily be
placed under the foot again, and you
will find the needle always threaded
in place of always unthTeaded.
Pea Pin CushiOn.-A pretty idea for
small cushions is a bunch of green
pea pods-about six pods made of
green silk and tied together with baby
ribbon. Stuff with hair. A good pat
tern can be obtained from an old seed
catalogue.
Simple Buttonholes.-First sew the
shape of the buttonhole, and then cut
it through the center after it is sewed
Bands for Trimming.-Bands never
were used more extensively for trim
ming than at the present time. To
make bands quickly and perfectly, cut
the band one and One-half inches wild
er than desired when finished and
sew into one long strip. Draw two
parallel lines eight inches long on
the ironing board, the distance apart
to equal the width of band when fin
ished. Make a catstitch, using the
lines as a guide. Pull the goods under
the threads, and as it passes under
press with a warm iron. If care is
taken the edges will turn under even
Iy as they pass under the threads.
To Hang a Skirt-One of the most
difficult things in dressmaking is to
make skirt hang well. To get it even
take a hoop and set it on the floor on
little blocks of wood whose height is
the number of inches the skirt is to be
from the floor Stand in the center of
the circle and have someone mark the
material along the top of the hoop
with a piece of chalk.
House Dress.-A shirt waist and
skirt make the neatest Of house
dresses, providing the skirt band does
not sag, and, to prevent this, the band
usually is worn too tight to be COM
Portable while at work Sew buttons
at regular distances apart on shirt
waist band; in skirt band work but
tonholes, or, if band is narrow, sew
tape loops to correspond. When
fastened to waist by means of these
buttons and buttOnholes or tape loops
the weight of dress hangs from
shoulders, as it should. Do not use
hooks and eyes, as these will cause
rust spots when sent to laundry.

Beef En- Casserois.

Wipe and trim neatly a good sized
piece of the rUmp or round without
bone. Scar until brown in a hot fry
ing pan without allowing it to burn.
In the bottom of your casserole dish
build a nest of diced potatoes, sliced
onions, stripped carrots, turnips cut
into small balls and any old cold peas
or beans you may have on hand. If
fond of herbs, scatter through this a
little finely powdered mixed herbs. Sea
son with pepper and salt. On this nest
lay your scared meat. In a separate
pan mix a large cup of stock or boil
ing water with one of tomatoes, stew
until thoroughly mixed, strain and
thicken with a tablespoon of flour and
butter rubbed smooth, pour over your
meat and vegetables. Cover with the
earthenware lid and set in a moderate
oven to cook for four hours.
All casserole preparations are
served from the dish in which they are
cooked This is set on a large plate
or platter, and brought to the table,
cover and all. No napkin or decora-
ton of any sort is wrapped around the
dish

WAYS OF SERVING THE OLIVE.
Endless Novelties and Clever Combi.
nations Are Possible.

Olives may be a cultivated taste, but
to the trained palate they offer end
less novelties when used in clever
combinations. The modern cook holds
the olive in gentle regard, and with
its aid prepares many a surprise to
tempt palates that sigh for some
thing new"
Olive Sandwiches.-Tiny ovals Of
thin bread spread with butter, then
with equal parts of grated celery and
chopped walnut meats, put together
in pairs, with stoned olive pressed
into the top, are popular at teas.
Russian sandwiches are made by
chopping olives fine and just moisten-
ing them with mayOnnaise. Cut thin
slices Of bread in narrow strips.
Spread the olive upon half the pieces,
spreading the others with caviar;
press together in pairs.
Stuffed olives have the stones re-
moved and replaced by any salpicon or
fOrcemeat preferred. a variety is
produced by stuffing them with some
savory butter, such as lemon butter,
rairgote butter, etc. They are sep
arated from the stone spirally, as one
peels an apple. The stone olive is
then folded about the filling-which
should be about the size of the stone
until it resumes its original shape.

Reefsteak and Onions.

Take a thick steak Ga flank steak is
best, chop thoroughly, dredge with
flour, spread with butter. pepper and
salt to taste, place in a dripping pan
or Toaster. Cover with water, cover
closely and place in the oven for about
an hour. Slice onions, and "a minutes
before meal time spread the onions
over the steak and return to oven.
If the flour with which the meat has
been dredged does not make the gravy
thick add little Drowned flour mixed
to smooth paste with water. Keep
enough water around meat to have a
nice gravy when done. Serve hot on
a platter. either pouring gravy around
steak or serve in a separate bowl.

For Worn Carpet.

When changing a Wilton, Brussels
or tapestry carpet to other rooms one
finds places which are cut in fitting
or one wishes to join out. Make paste
of -four and water and add some COM
mon glue. which should be dissolved
thoroughly. Boil all together. Take
a niece of burlap Cthe unfinished kind
and wet on one side with paste. Also
wet the back of the carpet where you
wish to reioin. Put the side which is
pasted next the canvas side Of the car
net. lay over a board smoothly, draw
the edges closely together, and hold
them in place with a few tacks half
driven in board.

To Clean Tan Leather.

The knowledge that tan leather is
hard to clean at home keeps a great
many people from wearing il as much
as they would like.
Unless one is very careful, the ef-
forts of renovating make it become
dark and streaked in places.
Heavy tan gloves, which are almost
every ones greatest comfort, can be
kept in good condition by taking damp
rag and rubbing it over the surface.
This removes the dirt and restores the
original color.
Yellow shoes, which no girl con-
siders herself in the latest style with
out, can be cleaned by putting few
drops of turpentine on a woolen rag
and rubbing them evenly all over.
When dry polish with a soft brush,
and they will look like new.
The Washington bee., 1908-05-23
Baby Gaze.

To keep baby out of mischief and
know exactly where she is, saw off the
top of a barrel about down to the first
hoop; take out every other stave
and fasten the remaining ones to the
hoops. Leave the bottom of barrel
on, and in the open space from where
the slaves were taken, toys may be
suspended by strings tied to the hoop
around the top. The inside of the bar.
rel may be covered with oil cloth
which can be cleaned easily. Casters
also can be added. Here baby will be
contented while mother attends to her
household duties.

seeds spoiI Lemon Flavor.

The experienced hOusekeepers
know. but the young ones have TO be
told. that the least little piece of a
lemon seed will make lemon pie ex-
tremely bitter. or will impart a bitter
flavor to practically any food in which
lemon is a part. The best method for
extracting the juice and meat of a
lemon is to cut it in half and squeeze
out the contents on a metal or glass
lemon squeezer. The seeds will fall
into the groove below the cone and
can easily be picked out with the tip
of a spoon. If the lemons are grated
there is more or less danger of the
smaller seeds getting into the pulp.

Eqgs in Cheese Sauce.

A supper course TO be made in the
chafng dish. Melt a heaping tea
spoonful of butter in the blazer, add
one tablespoonful of flour and stir
until smooth, then add two cup
fuls of milk and stir until a creamy
sauce results. Flavor with a teaspoon
full of salt, a dash of red pepper, one
small teaspoonful of Worcestershire
sauce Finally add one cIpful of
grated cheese. When the cheese is
melted, break into the sauce as many
eggs as the blazer will hold, being
careful not to break the yOlks. When
the eggs are well set, or poached,
serve with the sauce on pieces of toast
If you have no chafng dish, use a
porcelain-lined skillet on gas or coal
stove.

AppIe Butter Without cider.

Take half a bushel of apple peel, and
put on stove in granite kettle. At the
same time put peelings on in another
kettle and boil until soft. Strain juice
into apple butter. Add water to ap-
pies and cook until we'll done. Run
through a colander. Set back on
stove and cook until it thickens. Re
move and add 80 cents worth of dark
brown sugar while hot. Replace on
stove again and let it cook slowly for
one and a half hours. or until it is the
required thickness. stirring it occa-
sionally. 1t viii keep as long as de
sired. This rule Will make two
gallons.

Brown Chicken Fricassee.

For a brown chicken fricassee, Gre
ole style, cut up the chicken in the
usual way and fry in equal quantities
lard and butter until nearly tender and
brown. Dredge a little -four into a
gravy and brown. Add a pint of boil
ing water, a small onion minced. a
quart Of potatoes and a small bunch
of parsley. Simmer gently an hour or
until very tender, and serve with rice.
If preferred the rice may be added
and cooked with the stew.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

If many of the books look shabby
in the bookcase cover them with tan
moire paper. They can be marked on
the back with India ink.
Apple stains on the hands can be
removed by rubbing them with the in
side of the apple peel or with little
lemon juice. Rinse in clear water.
Cups and jugs often show want of
strict cleanliness about the handles.
This is easily prevented by an occa-
sional scrubbing with a small well
sOaped brush.
Never place a good piece of furni-
ture very near a fireplace or register.
The heat dries the wood and glue, oft
en- causing rot where the parts are
joined together.
Should the oven get too hot while
baking put a cup of cold water in
rather than leave the door open. In
baking delicate cakes in a gas oven
it is nearly always desirable to keep
a small dish of water in the oven.
To blacken tan boots wash the
leather in rather strong soda water,
but do not saturate it. When quite
dry black the boots all over, using
the cut half of a potato instead of a
brush. Black thoroughly, then polish
with a brush as usual.
Vaseline stains on linen should be
removed before the garments are
washed, for, though the stains only
look like grease, soap sets them. The
right plan is to soak these stains in
kerosene, turpentine or alcohol be-
fore putting them in water.
