TIP TO GOVERNMENT CLERKS
ON VOTING.

The interest which the Government
employees of Washington are shown,
in the discussion OF retirement and
pension plans and in the poll to
be conducted BY The Times next week
indicates that when the votes are
counted it viii be found that a large
percentage of the $4,000 or 10000
clerks have expressed their preferences.
The success of the poll, from the
standpoint of the number participat-
ing, seems to be assured. Whether
the poll Is a success from the stand
point of its influence on Congress
depends largely upon the employees
themseIves-and on this point The
Times wants to make a suggestion.
1t seems to The Times that 1t would
be useless for the employees to ask,
through their ballots IN the poll, for
legislation which their best Judgment
tells them they would have no chance
OF getting. 1t Is desirable that the
employees inform Congress and the
administrative officers of the Govern
ment what they think they are entitled
to and what they want, but in formu-
lating their demands, they should
remember they are dealing with forces
that move slowly; they should be will
ing to sacrifice part of what they
believe they deserve in order TO make
their demands come within the scope
of what Congress is likely to consider
possible.
For instance, employees might ask
for substantial increase IN salaries
. thing which they certainly deserve
and for a pension OF retirement sys-
tenn in which the Government provides
all the funds. But 1t must be sppar-
ent to anybody who knows anything
at all of the habits Of Congress that
10 such legislation wouId be enacted
at one time If, then, the poll
recorded majority of clerks as favor
ing such a proposal, it would fail Of
Its very purpose; Congress would pay
10 attention to It.
To make the poll effective, the en-
pIoyes must. consider, in casting their
ballots, their own preferences and the
possibilities OF having them enacted
into is~. They should vote for the
proposal that they believe would, under
the circumstances. be for their best
interests, bearing in mind the probable
chance that each proposal would have
at the hands Of Congress.
In preparing the ballots the purpose
of The Times is to ask employees to
vote upon the proposal that they con
slider most practicable To vote for
that which the employee considers the
ideal, regardless of whether there is
any chance OF realizing that ideal,
would be a waste of time

pound suet, one cup flour, one-half cup
sugar, one scant teaspoon salt, one tea.
spoon cinnamon, one teaspoon ginger,
one cup soft bread crumbs, one cup
milk, two eggs we'll beaten.
Put the suet and dates through the
food chopper together. Sift in the
flour, sugar, salt and spices, add the
crumbs and mix ali together thor
oughly. Add the milk to the beaten
eggs and mix again. Steam two hours
in buttered individual molds. A pud-
ding steamed in individual molds is
easy to serve and attractive looking,

and really better when cooked In a
larger mold, where there is plenty Of
room for expansion.

Care of Brooms,

With the increased cost of orooms,
the thrifty housewife wishes to pre-
serve their usefulness as long as pos
sible. Soak new broom for several
minutes In hot suds; this not only
toughens but tightens the broom
whisps. Then hang it up to dry. A
broom, when not in use, should always
be hung up. Cut groove around the
handle and tie cord around it, leav.
ing loop for hanging, or use one of
the patent fasteners which screw to
a door. These may be bought for a
few cents. The soaking process should
be repeated every fortnight.
Another housewife washes her
boroms in cold soap water, rinses
thoroughly in cold water, snaps off all
moisture possible and pressing the
corns into shape places where they
will dry slowly All mating will also
last longer when occasionally wiped
up with salt and water

About Women Smoking.

Washington.-Just now there Is a
crusade against the smoking Of
cigarettes by women. The fact that
society women have taken up this
isolace is considered an evidence that
our present social course is leading
the way to decay. Yet the only thing
that is new about the smoking of
cigarettes by women is the protest
against 1t.
Andrew Jackson's mother used to
smoke coxncob pipe. Probably
Abraham Lincoln's mother did, too.
Certainly most of the ladies who came
over in the steerage-and the daugh-
tiers of many of them are now found
in our most exclusive circles-were
rarely without their old pipes, some
clay, some corncob.
No protest was made against the
smoking of pipe by Andrew Jack
sons mother and we have never
heard of any meetings of protest in
Mrs. Lincoln's neighborhood. Incl
dentally, each Of these women reared
a son who psads his mark in the
world.

KEEPING CHEESE HARD TASK
It Should Be Kept Under Glass or
China Top All the Year
Around.

Welsh rarebits, cheese souffles and
other cheese dishes are convenient for
summer, if cheese can be kept In con-
dition.
This Is so difficult that dealers re-
fuse to sell certain cheeses during hot
weather, while others spoil so quickly
as to be unsafe to buy.
Where one lives within convenient
distance of store buy only enough
cheese for immediate use, any loss is
thus up to the dealer.
If living in the country, it is neces-
sary to keep cheese on hand; though
large supplies should not be laid in.
Cream and soft cheese in jars .;r tin
foil should be kept in the refrigerator
until just before using. AS the odor of
the cheese quickly taints other foods
1t should be kept in a tightly covered
glass or china bowl or jar. A large
preserving jar with screw lid will hold
several smaller jars of cheese.
Do not eat cheese in summer il
there is the least green mould on it.
Impress this upon maids, as some Of
them scrape it from the edges and
serve the rest of the cheese in balls
or squares.
Cheeses like Sweitzer, American or
certain of the English and Swiss
cheeses, should be kept under glass
or china top all the year round If
brought in quantities. In warm
Weather 1t Is well to wrap the cheese
first in clean piece of linen wrung
out Of vinegar.

work in the copper mines. After two
years service he came into a. fortune
of $4,000, went to Germany, where he
studied engineering and metallurgy and
returning to Montana organized the
Montana Ore Purchasing company. At
this period was formed the great Anal
gamated Copper company, with cap
italization of $75.000,000, since in
cseased to $155, 100000 In labor dis
pute which the trust forced upon its
employees, seeking to reduce wages and
rearrange the hours of labor, Heinze
stood b;' the workers, paying those in
his employ the usual wage rate, and
trust. For years the Amalgamated
sought to force him into the trust or
drive him out of the state ard the bat
tie between Heinze on the one hand and
the trust on the other was carried in
numerous suits through every court in
the state and to the supreme court Of
the nation. And Heinze won at every
turn.
Upon the issues at stake in these
suits men were elected to the legisla-
ture, judges were appointed to the
bench and newspapers were bought or
subsidized. Po4..Ical issues were lost
sight of and men almost forgot that
they were Democrats or Republicans,
being classified instead as adherents
of the Amalgamated company or of the
heinze interests.
