WANTS PLAIN FOOD
Mr.. Roosevelt Once Told a
Reporter His Choice.
HOTELS SHOULD TAKE NOTICE
Menu Planned by st. Paul
Chef May Offend Ex-PresidentiaI
PaIate-MiStnke "A Newspaper Edi-
tor once SIade-WhiSper IL in Twin
Cities-IgnOrant of DemitaSse.


A recent news dispatch from St. Paul
announces that large preparations are
being made by one Of the hotels there
to feed former President Roosevelt, not
only we'll but to rePletion, on the oc-
casion of his visit to that city to address
the National Conservation Congress.
This dispatch does not go far into de-
tails. except that the sage of Oyster Bay
will have placed before him some Of the
choicest mushrooms the state can af-
ford. 1t is darkly limited that there viii
be other defeats and toothsome viands.
though they are not specified
Some one ought 20 whisper cautiously
out IN St Paul the experience Of one Of
the Washington newspaper editors, who
once ran up against the White House
menu while Theodore Roosevelt was
President.
sunday stories Go Wrong.
The story told Of the affair is about as
follows:
The Sunday editor Of local newspaper
once bought from a feature bureau q
story Of what the Roosevelt family ate
The menus Of the three meals were set
forth in. detail. The story was used IN
the papers magazine section. President
Roosevelt read Il. At once a secretary
was told 10 get INTO communication with
the newspaper Office and ask that re-
porter be sent 10 the White House 10
see the President. or course, such a
command was obeyed. and the city editor
smelling a great AFFAIR Of state, picked
out his best reporter and sent him 90
the Executive Mansion
It was not an affair Of state that the
President wished to discuss. but was an
affa.r of the palate. The President had
the article before him.
All wrong" he exclaimed, with snap
OF his teeth. 1--WE have no such things
as those to eat here. We Ike plain and
wholesome food.
why, for breakfast eat boiled. eggs
and drink a cup Of coffee
For luncheon. nothing pleases me bet
ter than a bowl of bread and milk or
crackers.
Plain STUFF for Dinner.
For dinner. we are pleased If We can
nave SOAlN AA-Nc AVd-L btEls AalAAhs oE VEAL
with vegetables, like any other American
family has on its dinner table"
The writer OF the original story had
put Kermit's name into the article in
connection with a demitasse.
''As for Kermit" snapped the Presi-
dent again, 'he doesn't know what a
demitasse is"
The President was never more IN earn
est in his life. and he insisted that the
family's menu be placed before the pub.
lie in the right light. He explained that
some dishes with high-sounding names
might be served when state dinners were
given, but that for his own luncheons
and breakfasts bread and milk and boiled
eggs were sufficient.
Despite his preference Tor these sub
stantial articles 'os food, however il is
probable that the former President will
not get them at his breakfast and lunch
con in the Twin Cities.

Bruins DeDredntiOns Stir Hunters

Baton Rouge. La. Aug PA party Of
hunters set out from here to-day for the
Atchafalaya country to wage war on
bears that have ruined hundreds Of acres
OF corn in that part of the State The
depredatiOns OF the animals have not

lures and killed scores Of cattle. Bruin
even got so bold as TO shuttle into several
Of the small Atchafalaya towns. Seldom
he shuHed out, for rifles and Tevolvers
are always handy in that part Of Louis
lana
Years ago the Atchafalaya was a hunt
ers' paradise. Eventually. however. as
great plantations were turned into small
farms, the deer and bear were driven
back into the swamps. In the past two
years Bruin has bred rapidly and this
summer he and his family advanced on
civilization, eating up a great acreage
Of cOrnfelds in the outposts Yesterday
telephone messages from several Atcha-
falaya towns TO well-known huntsmen
here resulted In the organization OF an
expedition to make war on the bears.
There are twenty hunters in the party.

Separate Waists for Autumn

It is a happy bit of news to most women that Fashion is not only approving but emphasizing the vogue of the separate waist for autumn," says Grace Margaret Gould in Woman's Home Com panion for September. The cos tune blouse will divide honors with the shirt-waist, and women the world over will be glad. The versatility of the separate waist as far as usefulness goes, is we'll known, and this coming season it will add to its practical and eco- nomical qualities an unusual meas ure of good looks. In the guise of costume blouse 1t will lend its charm and effectiveness to the plain tailored suit, making it app propriate for many varied occa- sions.

Democratic Ideals.

1t 10 pleasant to record that Demo
cratic Governors everywhere are nobly
doing their part to improve political
conditions, to abolish graft and corrupt
practices, to control corporations, to
enforce honest primary elections, to
execute pure food and health laws and
other reforms that honest people have
been struggling for and that now seem
in fair way of accomplishment.
Governor Crothers of Maryla is
reformer who has drought about such
reforms in his state, although not in
radical way, and is receiving the praise
of all good Democrats and the COM
mendation Of honest Republicans. The
good fight is not finished. it never is,
for eternal vigilance is the price of
the liberty that accompanies good
government.
In addressing his German fellow
citizens at the first Volkfest of the
Liberty League Of Maryland the other
day, Governor Crothers gave some
sound political advice. which is appli-
cable to every state in the Union,
when he said: "Some people are
liable to think that our L fore fathers
created such perfect form of govern
me1t that there is no need for care on
our part in order to preserve it. This
is mistake.ss Each citizen owes it to
his country, his state and Ills city to
give the best he shas to their service.
Germans make good citizens, because
when they are convinced that thing
is right they stand for it as firm as
the rocks of the mountain. Such citi-
zens can't help but bes appreciated.
You will never have a better oppor-
unity to give your time and best
thought to the problems of govern
ment. Baltimore in a few years will
be one of the greatest cities in thits
country. You Germans have been in
! the forefront of the fight for civic i'm
provement, and urge that you keep
! on insisting that your servants in pub
lie Office give time, thought, energy
and integrity to the affairs placed in
the hands,"
These patriotic utterances were re-
ceived with bour dless enthusiasm by
the thousands.of liberty-loving men,
bers of the various German societies
present, which shows that the people
are ever ready to uphold the hands of
those who lead them in the right path.
