LIQUOR LAWS ARE TO BE
ENFORCED AT OCEAN PARK
Board of Trustees Threatens to Re.
sclnd Licenses for Violations
of Statutes

OCEAN PARK, April 19.-The men,
bers of the board of trustees took q
decided stand regarding alleged viola
ton of the liquor laws this evening
when they unanimously passed the fol-
lowing resolution, introduced by Trus-
tee Mayer:
Resolved, That several complaints
have been made against the three open
bars in Ocean Park selling liquor to
intoxicated people, old soldiers and
minors; that this board will not toll
crate anything that tends to lend the
least suspicion that these bars are not
keeping within the law, and 1t is our
intention to rescind the license where
the law is not strictly complied with"
Complaints have been numerous of
late regarding the sale of liquors to
minors, and in one case boys under
age have admitted while under arrest
that they were served at certain bars,
and gave the names of the places to
the police.
The action of the trustees received
hearty commendation by interested
citizens this evening, and a number
expressed themselves as certain that
by the abuse of certain liquor laws
the saloonkeepers were bringing pro-
hibition upon themselves very rapidly.

A WHITE ELEPHANT

Senator G.. L. Chapman of Great Bend
was once a circus man, but only for a
few days. 1t occurred a good many
years ago, just after he had started a
bank at Great Bend. One day small
travelling circus showed at the town,
bu the concern was hard up and wanted
some money badly. Chapman loaned
them the necessary" and they gave
him as security a mortgage on the ami
mails in the show. When the show
reached a Missouri town the note eX-
pired and was foreclosed. An elephant
and two camels were boxed up ana
shipped to Chapman at Great Bend. He
was quite "happy" over his investment,
and spent most of the next week look
ing at his animals. He cooped them up
in his chicken yard and bought up all
the hay in the community. The ele-
phant alone consumed something like
ten bales of hay and a couple of sacks
of bran as dessert. The whole town
visited the zoo in Chapman's back yard
daily, and it was a great treat. But
the even tenor of things was rudely dis
turbed one night When the elephant
was put into the barn it proceeded to lie
down, but the barn was in it's way.
The elephant was stronger than the
barn, and whole side of the structure
was burst out About that time the
future senator realized that he had
real white elephant" on his hands, and
when the Ringing show came along in
the course of a week he sold the ami
mails to John Ringing without any
dickerng. 1t was his first and last cir
Gus venture.

knives and forks, goblets that will be
needed. The nuts, candy and small
cakes should be put In dainty dishes
ready for serving.
| Preparing salad will be the only trou-
BILE. The lettuce can be washed and
separated before the guests arrive and
put In a clean dishpan filled with a
large lump of ice, to keep crisp. Cream
cheese can be made into large balls
about the size of a ducks egg, with a
marashino cherry in the center. These
can be put on plate on the ice, Where
can also go an opened olive bottle. The
nuts for the salad can be kept separate,
to be stuck into the cheese balls just
before serving.
Coffee can be easily made in French
coffee pot. which few girls who board
fail to own, or, If chocolate is preferred,
it can be made in a sauce pan over a
chafing dish lamp. A little good cream
can be whipped and kept cold In the
dishpan of Ice.
There is generally an accommodating
maid who will loan the icepan and buy
the ice. It will be more courteous, not
to say polite, to ask your landlady If
she objects to her servant doing you
this service.
If the hostess does not play, as she
rarely does, 1t will be quite simple to

final touches. 1t will be found easier to
follow the usual custom of serving and
arrange the salad in a large bowl which
can be passed. The olives are emptied
into a pretty dish--one enterprising girl
who was somewhat shy of china used
the lower half of her soap dish.
Take one or two Of your more inti-
mate friends into your confidence and
ask them to help with the serving. 1t
will be much better to make a regular
folly spread" of the supper. The
guests will be found to enter into the
spirit of it and will enjoy themselves
accordingly.
Getting dishes washed will not be
much fun, particularly If you are a
worker who leaves early next day. But
small fee to one of the housemaids
will doubtless relieve you of the disa-
greeable task. If the entertainment is
at night, the soiled dishes can be piled
neatly until the next day. If you hesi-

MAKE HOME ATTRACTIVE
TO THE GIRL AND BOY

It is not an infreuuent occurrence
to hear parents bemoan the fact that
their girls are always out; they won't
stay at home. They may come home as
soon as the days work is over, but 1T
is only to dress afresh and go out.
The parents have nothing to find fault
with in the conduct of the girls, but it
is abundantly evident that they prefer
any place, generally speaking, to the
house in which they reside.
In the cases which we have in mind
it is not a love of outdoor pastimes
which takes them from home. 1t can
not be said of most of the sport-loving
girls that they are always out; they
are often at home and delight the
hearts of thief mothers by their in
dustry and assistance in household
duties. The damsels who are subject
of complaint usually render very little
aid in the house. What, then, is the
cause of this constant absence from
the domestic hearth? The hard truth
is this: Home is not made sufficiently
attractive. Parents too frequently
overlook the fact that the younger
members of the family differ from
themselves in ideas and that each gen.
GRAFTON needs special treatment
why do you never stay in the
house?" asked a father of his son.
Because you never make it worth
while to stay in," was the accurate If
brutal reply. You are always wrapped
up in your business plans, there is no
fun, nothing to attract. 1 am young
and want warmth of another kind,
father"
1t was the truth; the elder man
realized it; he was cut to the quick,
and was i'll for three days. That was
chilly home in figurative sense.
Here is an instance of a literally
chilly home. II don't stay at home"
said a girl, because there is nothing
to keep one there. You can't take a
girl friend home or ask anyone to tea.
1t seems to be a nuisance. We have
best room, but mother seems to be
afraid of using it for fear of dust or
that we shall wear out something, and
it is quite an event to see a fire in it
in winter. There are no books, no
nothing"
Putting aside exceptions, as these
two may be, it is fact that there are
many homes where girls cannot be
kept because there is nothing to induce
them to remain. Young people natur-
ally want amusement; we must not
make them old before they have had
chance to be young in the full sense of
the word. Companions of the same
age are wanted, unless the parents can
keep young in spirit (Which Is not i'm
possible), and become friends of their
own children. Music, books and games
are cheap; 1T is neither costly nor diff
ficult to provide sufficient amusement
to make home attractive. If that be
done, girls will not be always OUT

WHAT NAME SHALL
BE GIVEN BACHELORS?

If an unmarried woman is MISS a
married woman is Mrs" and mar
ried man is mr." then what is a
bachelor?
That is the question which State
Senator Samuel A. Ettleson of Chicago
invites everybody to try to answer
If they can. He has introduced bill
in the Illinois Legislature to confer a
title on bachelors whereby they can
readily be distinguished from married
men. The senator, by the way of .ex-
PLANTATION, says he has been approached
by many unmarried women, who tell
him that married men are constantly
imposing upon them because it is i'm
possible from a plain introduction of
one as mister So-andSo" to tell
whether he is married or not.
Let us differentiate between the
benedicts and the bachelors" declared
Senator Ettleson when he introduced
his bill. Let us make it a felony for
married man to use bachelor S
title. The change will be for the good
of society. 1t will be a bulwark for
the home. 1t will protect susceptible
unmarried ladies. 1t will abolish at
one blow all the married flirts."
The senator asks for the passage of
a state law comforting a distinguishing
title on bachelors in accordance with
the provisions of his bill. If such a
law be enacted other states may follow
suit, and then the poor bachelor will
have a hard time trying to convince
susceptible friends that he is married
and vice versa.
The legislature of Kansas, too, is
considering a bill aimed at the poor
bachelor. Representative Cron has in
troduced a measure imposing a tax of
$25 a year on all bachelors who have
reached the age of 45 years. The bill
was Immediately advanced on the cal
endar. Several married representatives
have suggested an amendment impos-
ing tax graduated according to the
bachelors age. If it is $25 at As years,
it should be $50 at so years, and so on.
A telegram sent by Representative
Cron to the president says that when
a bachelor reaches the age of As years
there is little hope of his getting mar
ried, and that he ought to be taxed
as a penalty for not raising a family.
Representative Cron is not in favor of
any graduated tax amendments to his
bill. He is afraid any such amend
ments will kill it.
In New Mexico a bill has been in
troduced in the Legislature providing
for the classification Of bachelors and
widowers and the levying of a tax
upon them Bachelors between the
ages of 25 and 45 years are to pay $40
annual tax, and widowers will be re-
quired to pay $25 annual tax, If the bill
is passed. The revenue from this
source is to provide support for un-
married women

VEGETARIAN VIANDS
The Place of Nuts in the Daily Men

The Place of Nuts In the Daily Menu
In the vegetarian family nuts take
the place of meat in the ordinary
menu. They possess the nutriment,
fat and heat-producing qualities not
found in most vegetables and fruits.
and are easily digested If eaten as the
principal dish Of a meal.
The vegetarian housewife Is offered a
number of recipes for soups, roasts and
outlets, in the Womens Home Com
panion as follows:
Nut Chowder
Take half a pound of mixed nut
meats broken into small pieces. Put
them in sauce pan with one quart of
water and allow them to simmer for
one hour and thirty minutes. Peel and
dice several potatoes and turnips and
good-sized onion. Have a pint of
canned or stewed tomatoes. Strain the
nut meats, saving the water in which
they have boiled and which now forms
valuable stock. Line the bottom
of a kettle with layer of the pota-
toes; add layer of the turnips and
onion, with a sprinkling of thyme,
sweet marjoram, chopped parsley and
salt, then a layer of the nut meats.
Continue the layers in this order un-
til all the ingredients are used, then
pour on the stock, which should be
boiling hot. Let simmer for thirty
minutes, then add one pint of milk,
and thicken with a little flour and but
ter IL desired Nut butter may be used
instead of the dairy product for this
thickening. Some cooks omit toma-
toes in making nut chowder.
Nut Roast
.fr l., khA nj Il ,tefa Of
many vegetarian dinner, and may be
made with any variety of nut, to suit
individual tastes. Walnut, pecan and
f1lbert roasts are the most generally
used.
To make a roast, put two teaspoon
fuls of stale bread crumbs in a mix
ing bowl and moisten with hot water.
Let stand a few minutes until all the
water Is absorbed. Add one cupful of
crushed or ground nut meats and one
heaping tablespoonful of nut meats
which have been broken into small
pieces. Flavor with one teaspoonful
of finely sifted sage or. mixed herbs,
and with either one-half teaspoonful
of salt or with one teaspoonful of
lemon juice. Mix thoroughly and stir
In one well-beaten egg. Press into
square pan to mold it, then turn out
on a baking pan and bake in a mod
crate oven for one hour.
A variation may be made by using
raisins, chopped figs or dates instead
of the broken nut meats; and as these
and also bread crumbs differ in mois-
ture, Judgment must be used. The
roast when placed in the oven should
be as moist as is consistent with it's
being firmly nodded. 1t is good served
hot or cold. Sliced very thin, it
makes a delicious filling for sand
wiches.
Stuffed Tomatoes
Select firm, smooth tomatoes. Cut
slice from the stem ends and with a
spoon dig out the insides, leaving just
enough of the tomato in the skins to
make them keep their shape firmly.
Place the tomato nulp in sieve, press
out most of the juice, then turn into
mixing bowl; to it add one cupful of
well-toasted bread crumbs. one-half
cupful of ground nut meats, a little
finely chopped parsley, sage or thyme
and little salt. One teaspoonful of
chopped onion may be added if de-
sired. Fill the tomatoes with this mix

FEMININE HuMoR

Woman as a rule is considered to
have no sense of humor.
In fact, her lack of appreciation of
a joke is standard jest among the
men folk.
The real truth of the matter is that
men don't want women to have a sense
of humor. They are afraid of the
woman who is very quick to see a
joke.
They feel that as she is so quick to
see the ridiculous side of things she
viii be equally. quick to see the ridicu-
lous side of them, and that no man can
