gov. FOLK ON The PRESS"

Ex-Governor JOS. w. Folk, who
was a guest Of honor at the Inland
Empire Press Association banquet,
spoke of his conception of the func-
tons of the press and it's part in
the upbuilding of civic righteous
ness, saying among other things
that in his public career he FOUND
no weapon so mighty as the news
paper that told the truth, and by
the same token, there is none SO
harmless as the untruthful publica-
ton, adding:
Publicity is the greatest power
on earth to check wrongdoing You
may fill the penitentiaries with
wrongdoers and unless the public is
informed and aroused there will be
no difference in the conduct of pub
lie affairs; but let the people become
awakened to the real conditions
and the wrong will be righted. In
this you are quasi-public officials,
and in addition, you have duty
as teachers of the public; in fact
you are keepers of the public con-
science.
wherever patriotism is as active
as rottenness, there you will have
good government. You, as news
paper men, have a great opportun-
ity to encourage public patriotism.
By this | do not mean the patriot
ism of war, of rolling drums and of
military splendor, but the patriot
ism of everyday life, of peace. A
man who lives for his country has
as much patriotism as he who dies
for it, and it is this you should en-
courage.
This republic is founded on
ideals. We are made and governed
by the things we cherish, and the
greatness of the nation does consist
of mere acreage or in the strength
of military armament, but in the
purity of it's ideals and the intensity
of their devotion to those ideals.
This is a great country, but it
does rot consist of fertile fields or
wealth of minerals and forests, but
sn men and women of high ideals.
After all, the question of good gov
eminent is simply one of aggressive
citizenship"

WHOLE WHEAT BREAKFAST CAKES

WHOLE WHEAT BREAKFAST CAKES
One pint of whole wheat -four or
graham flour sifted one tablespoon
full Of baking powder, teaspoonful of
table salt, tablespoonful of lard, and
one egg. This recipe will make
twelve biscuits or gems. Sift
flour, baking powder, and salt to-
gether, warm the lard in the gem
pans to grease them, or in the bis
cult pan. With a spoon stir the
water and lightly beaten egg into
the flour, add the warmed lard, and
when we'll blended, dip with wet
spoon and lay by spoonfuls into the
gem pans, and bake as other gems.
When dipping the soft dough, wet
the spoon every time it is used, and
the gem will be smoother and drop
more readily from the spoon.
Heavenly hash" is a combina.
ton of any or all fruits, cut up to-
gether and allowed to stand several
hours in sugar. l have tried all
combinations and have found the
favorite to be the following: Pine
apple and bananas it equal proper
ton, and candied cherries. Buy
the canned sliced pineapple, cut in
small pieces and boil in it's own
juice, adding sugar and water to
make more syrup; just before serv-
ing add the sliced bananas and cam
died cherries. The banana is apt
to become discolored if allowed to
stand too long.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS
HEALTH NOTES

We shall hear some one COM
planning of freckles, pretty soon,
and it is just as we'll to have some
simple remedy at hand. Here are
some old, tried removers: The
juice of one lemon combined with
a teaspoonful of powdered borax and
one teaspoonful of sugar. Put in a
bottle and apply twice daily. An
other old-fashioned remedy is the
juice Of half lemen squeezed into
a tumbler Of milk, which forms a
curd like buttermitk.; battle the face
night and morning. and dry gently.
This is for greasy skin.
An excellent cleanser for the
stomach is to squeeze half lemon
into tnmbler of water mot cold)
and drink it before breakfast. All
stomachs cannot take acid; 80, if it
does not agree with you, stop it's
use.
One of the best beautifers, and
excellent for the health, is to drink
at least two quarts of water, more
if you can, daily, cutting out all
drinks at the table, and for half an
hour before and an hour after meals.
This will flush out the sewers of the
body and bring the impurities from
the inside. If one can not drink
cool or cold water, try the temper
allure which suits the stomach best j;
but drink the water freely. Do not
expect results in day, or a month;
but stick to the drinking, right
along. If constipated, do not drink
cold water at all; but use it slightly
warm. Many stomachs can digest
pork much easier than mutton and
chicken. No one diet can be pre-
scribed to suit all cases, and only
one rule can be followed by all-if
the food agrees" with YOU, eat it;
if not, let it alone. Eat all that
hunger demands of easily digested
food, but do not crowd the stomach
by over eating. If hungry between
meals, good substitute is clear,
good water, as much as you can
drink. 1t will stay the hunger.
Hot water drinking will often cure
the headache.
The plainest, nourishing food is
best, and one should eat only to
satisfy hunger, not appetite. 1t is
surprising how small quantity of
food will serve to keep one in health
and comfort. Get the habit of eat
ing to live, and there will be lot
more comfort in the world, as we'll
as less waste.

MOTT AND JACKSON
MEET IN DEBATE
Rival MayoraIty Candidates in
Oakland Clash on Issues

OAKLAND, Feb 22.-Mayor Frank K.
Mott. candidate of the republican, dem
ocratic and municipal league parties
for reelection at the March elections,
and DR.. F. F. Jackson, his opponent,
held debate on the issues of the
present campaign in the First Meth
odist Episcopal church tonight. The
main auditorium of the church was
packed with people and the audience
extended down the stairways and into
the vestibules.
Mayor Mott was introduced first by
Rev. George W. White, pastor of the
church, who acted as chairman OF the
debate. At the outset of his speech.
Mott asked the audience to refrain
from applause, saying that he wanted
to appeal to the judgment and con-
sciences of his hearers rather than to
their enthusiasm.
He devoted himself to a straightfor-
ward explanation of the proposed char
ter amendments which the city council
had drawn up to be voted upon by the
people at the coming election, laying
particular stress upon the Importance
of the amendments referring to the
water front.
Jackson. however, did not attempt
to emulate the mayors example but
INDUCED in frequent appeals for popu-
lar demonstrations, and his speech was
ushered in dramatically by the hosting
of a large United States flag behind the
platform. His talk was a rehearsal Of
the attacks which he had made in the
city council upon the proposed memo
randum agreement between the city
and the Southern Pacific company in
regard to the disposal of the western
water front.

FORSAKES STAGE
FOR BRIDAL VEIL
Mrs. Violet Kesner Accepts the
Explanation of Carlton Wall
and Weds Him

ALAMEDA, Feb. 22.-When Carlton
Wall claimed Mrs. Violet Kesner as his
bride in New York city last week Dan
Cupid smiled triumphantly. for he knew
that one of his deadly darts had wrecked
prospective stage career and convert
ed an embryo actress into a devoted
matron Friends of Mrs. Wall admit
that when she started east prior to her
marriage it was with the intention of
preparing herself for a life behind the
footlights, and it is rumored that sew
eral enterprising theatrical managers
had made her fattering offers But
when the dashing and ardent Carlton
Wall followed her out of the west and
laid his heart at her feet she unhesi-
tatingly thrust aside all her other offers
to accept his.
Mrs. Kesner was accompanied on her
trip east by her sister. Mrs Carlin
Armstrong. According to a dispatch
sent from New York she was then
wearing diamond engagement ring,
but short time after her arrival in the
eastern metropolis some malicious busy
body sent her an anonymous letter con-
tanning the information that her fiance
was making himself unbecomingIy
merry with divers fair maids in Cali
fornia and was constantly seen in pub
lie with women. Impusively the beau
tiful Mrs Kesner posted back her en-
gagement ring to Wall, with brief
note explaining that she would not per-
nit the old adage of "out of sight out
of mind to apply in her case.
For a time Cupid was inconsolable
and it looked as though the stage would
surely cheat the hymeneal altar, but
Wallis appearance on the scene and his
assurances of the falsity of the letter
proved effective, and love triumphed in
the end.
