Wooden Utensils.

In many of the modern kitchens,
these utensils made of wood-rolling,
pin, chopping- bowl, bread-board, ETC.
are being superseded by articles man
ufactured from glass, marble and 9th
er nonfibrous materials. But in the
majority of homes the o~ld-fashioned
kind are still on duty, and. indeed,
they are preferred by many house
wives who are afraid of the danger
from breaking glass Or china.
But it must be remembered that the
chief drawback to the wood is the
difficulty in keeping it absolutely
clean. They are most u~nsanitary if
put away without a thorough investi-
cation of every nook and crack in the
wood-those comfortable shelters for
germs and decomposing food. Before
putting the wooden utensil away,
scrape it we'll and wash it in cold
water. This latter is important. as
the hot water opens the poors of the
wood thus rendering it more sus-
ceptible to dirt. Scrape and rub with
the grain of the wood, and never put
away without drying well-preferably
on the back of the stove.
A little salsoda in the water is a
sanitary precaution, and it is well to
remember that wooden bowls should
never be placed on the shelf upside
down.

WASHINGTON. - President Taft,
w the summer bachelor of the
White House, Is sharing the fate of
many other government officials and
Washington residents whose families
have gone away to mountains or sea-
shore. The president is taking the
situation philosophically, doesn't seem
to mind the hot weather and Is read
ing daily with great delight letters
from Beverly which tell of the rapid
improvement in Mrs. Taft's health.
Living bachelor fashion at the
White House Is not fraught with the
same discomforts that beset the mere
man who has his home "closed up on
him. when his wife goes away and Is
compelled to seek food and lodging as
Taft divided the White House help"
when the occupancy Of the Beverly
cottage was begun, so the president
is we'll taken care of and domestic
affairs at the White House run on
much the same.
The president, however, allowed
Mrs. Taft to take the first cook" to
Beverly, while he Is served by the
second cook" who is a legacy from
the Roosevelt administration. She is
a negro girl named Mary, who halls
from Old Virginia and whose sway
over the White House kitchens now Is
complete.

Uncle Sam Looks Up Turkish Cigarettes

bite the tongue and have small dark
leaves. The most aromatic sorts are
what are called Marden and Dere.
The country where the best Turkish
tobacco is grown Is q low mountain
Gus region bordering the south shore
of the Black sea. The tobacco Is
grown, like the grapes, on the slopes
of the hills, and the climate Is always
humid. A clear sky and bright sun
are extremely rar The methods OF
tobacco culture are primitive, and
much is left to chance and nature;
no systematic rotation Of crops is
practiced, no scientific .fertilizing and
there is little cultivation.
In Trebizond the average yield Is
about 500 pounds of tobacco per acre.
The leaves are put on strings, each
quality by itself, and hung on poles in
the open air. Then, when dry, they are
put into a sweathouse. A good deal Of
the Turkish tobacco is made up In
Hungary for the American cigarette
trade. In one factory in Fiune, Hun
gary, in the last year, 371,000,00 Gig
arettes were manufactured. Some of
the tobacco came from Brazil, Java
and Sumatra.

Somewhat Too Practical.

During the tariff debate in congress
Senator Nelson Of Minnesota made
the following clear exposition of the
situation:
LET us recognize the fact that with
a tariff bill it is just as it is with =
river and harbor bill. There Is no use
Disgusting it. You tickle me and l
tickle you. You give us what we on
the Pacific coast want for our lead ore
and for our citrus fruit and we will
tickle you of New England and give
you what you want on your cotton
goods. . -. You come to the same
basis as that of the river and harbor
bill. You vote for my creeks, you
vote for my harbors, you vote for my
rivers, and 1 will vote for yours and
shut my eyes and it is all right"
Our craftsmanship has come to be
too practical. It would really give
one quite a glow to have some sena-
tor or congressman inject a little SEN
timent into the debates and wave the
star-spangled banner above a united

Aldrich and other Republican grand
dukes in politics are making the new
tariff under direct orders from the
trusts, with absolutely no considera-
ton for the consumer, except to tax
him every penny he can be made to
pay in unjust profits to the tariff
barons of the east.
New England is making the tariff
for the benefit of New England.
One of the most oppressive clauses
of the Aldrich bill is that which will
increase the cost of wooden clothes of
all kinds. Therefore the history of
the wool tariff is interesting, because
it shows how New England runs tariff
affairs.
In April, 1866, New England wool
magnates framed the tariff on wool
ems, which congress made law. In
1897 the worsted spinners sent their
own paid man to be secretary of the
senate finance committee, and the
Dingley tariff fixed the schedules so
high that the worsted trust crushed
the carded wooden men who make
cheap goods.
The Aldrich wooden schedules were
dictated by a conference of wooden
men a month before last election. It
would be highly interesting to know
how much wool interests paid out to
elect certain congressman. Still more
interesting could the list and the
amounts be published before the wool
schedules go to final vote.
Of course, this information will not
be forthcoming. All the public need
to know is that wooden clothing will
cost more money when the Aldrich
bill passes.
What has the public to do with tar
iffs. except to pay the piper, anyway?

Tawney Gets Taft to Stop at Wmona

President Roosevelt was touring
the west when he came to Minnesota.
In his itinerary, too, Winona was
omitted. Mr.. Tawney boarded the
train up the line and asked for a

town. Secretary Loeb said 1t would
be impossible, as they were going
somewhere else and had to hurry or
they would be late. Then Mr.. Tawney
looked up the district passenger agent
of the road, who was on the train.
For some reason, not yet entirely ex-
planned, the engine got out of order
when Winona was reached, and it
took the engineer 20 minutes to find
the fault and fix 1t.
In the meantime Mr.. Tawney had
introduced Mr.. Roosevelt to a large

have to stop at Winona anyhow, and

Taft as Bachelor in the White House

officer, senator or representative, and
stops at the guests house or club to

it bears. At other times Mr.. Taft has

on the Potomac park driveways.
which skirt the river back of the White
House and the monument grounds.
Arising at about seven o'clock the
president gives nearly an hour to
dumb-bells, pulley weights and other
forms of exercise prescribed for him.
He breakfasts slowly and usually
alone. During his morning meal and
for half an hour or so afterward, the
president reads the newspapers. Be.
tween $50 and 10 he begins his busy
day in the executive offices. At 1870
comes luncheon at the White House
always with some invited guest for
company. The afternoon Is devoted
to golf, for the president hopes to
play every afternoon that he remains
in Washington. Dinner always finds
guests assembled and usually 1t Is
an informal and delightful meal,
which begins a little after seven
o'clock and sometimes continues for
an hour and a half.

This is the situation which faces

the golden opportunity of the party

leaders do with it?
In the past six years the annual
congressional appropriations have in
creased from $4S6,439 ,3O6.6S to 1921
516,246.S3. The year 1908 was a year
of depression, following the panic Of
the year before, yet the expenditures
for that year were upward of $81, 000,-
600 larger than for the year 1907. And
of shutting off the steam, much less
pulling the emergency air-brake cord.
Yet the imperative duty of a great
party in power is that it be at once
far-sighted enough and patriotic
enough to sound the note of economy.
1t is idle-this cannot be too
strongly insisted upon-it is idle to
expect earnest, whole-souled retrench-
ment by the Republicans. They are
In; and economy means the abolish
Ing of super1uous places, the acceler-
ating Of lazy men, the doing away
with expensive and useless and hoary
expenditures for materials which are
purchased from favored contractors,
the violent interference with the SYM
metry of senatorial and congressional
patronage by the abolition of sine
cures. We have at Washington a
horde of clerks, working eight hours
a day under civil service rules, who
would not last four hours each in a
bank, a railroad office or a depart
ment store. There are thousands of
them. Gentleness and wisdom will be
necessary in dealing with the problem
of the reformation-no weaker word
will owe the case. Reorganization
Of business" methods to save money
is always hard work, but, however
hard, the necessities of our national
government demand it.
1t can be done-by a party returned
to power under the express pledge to
do it, with the sentiment of the ma
ton behind it.
If the leaders of the Democracy will
begin a systematic study of the prob
lem Of economy in governmental ad-
ministration, and go, before the coun-
try at the next election pledged to
economy, not in a vague and general
way, but with the bill of particulars
written out, the party will get the op-
portunity to act for the nation in a
great and necessary service.-St.
