California, or at least large sections
Of that great commonwealth, has
changed its attitude completely with
regard te the Japanese laborer. The
state labor commissioner declares the
desperate need Of laborers in the field,
orchard and vineyard industries and
has invited the erstwhile despised
Japs to come over to Macedonia and
help u.s." 1t is probable that San
Francisco which was always the seat
of the anti.Japanese sentiment is as
strongly opposed to the Monaghan in
vasion as ever. But the rest of the
state is feeling the lack of help to
harvest their crops so keenly that it
is not only willing, but eager to well
come the little brown men.

TAFT AND ROOSEVELT.

All the silly talk of those enemies
Of the Taft administration, to the eff
feet that a GOODNESS had developed be-
tween the president and Colonel Roos
evelt, was knocked into a cooked hat
when the colonel and the president
threw their arms around one another
Thursday afternoon at Beverly and
enjoyed a two hours visit such as
only two warm-hearted men who love
each other can enjoy.
There was no concealing the fact
that the two big men were the best
friends in the world. They were like
two big brothers who hadn't seen one
another for more than year.
They always have been friends and
they're better friends than ever.
1t had often been said before, but
some of those who have done their
best to toss mud at the Taft admins
tration, had seen fit not to believe it,
that Roosevelt would be delighted
with Taft's work during his first year
in the white house. No reasonable
American could be anything but well
pleased with the great strides in con.
structive legislation that the admins
tration has made.
Roosevelt knows, and the country
will agree before Taft's first term is
ended, that no president has done
greater work in so short time than
President Taft. Why shouldn't Roos.

shoulder?

the table Is laid. The attrac-

appeals strongly to the appetite and
prepares the digestive organs for their

hungry when some especially attrac-
tive Wand has been displayed before

meat or vegetables, but it certainly
pays for the trouble. Rather than
neglect it would suggest emitting
one or two dishes from the menu. Re
ferring to menus brings to mind the
fact that in some homes. those in the
country especially, there Is tendency
to serve too many foods Of the same
kind at the same meal.
For instance, have many times
seen three kinds of cooked fruit, three
or four kinds of vegetables and at
least two kinds Of pickles or desserts
served at an ordinary dinner. This
means unnecessary work, unnecessary
expense and so much time spent In
preparation that very likely there was
none left for dainty serving. A knowl-
edge Of foods and food values should
teach the housekeeper that one food Of
each Of the above mentioned kinds is
sufficient at one time for any family.
