present political upheaval in the
United States indicated that Ameri-
cans were coming to realize the folly
of party pride.

absurd it is to boast that you are a
Republican or a Democrat because
your father and your grand father be-
fore him was Republican or Demo-
crat said the famous British editor
Americans are far behind the Eng

In England we have no parties in the

The English tries to pick the best
man, not the best political organiza-
ton.

Venetian Cakes.

One-fourth pound of butter, Il pound
of powdered sugar, beaten to a cream.
Then beat in the yolks of eggs thor
oughly, then add u pound Of almonds,
sliced and blanched Last Of all, stir
in carefully ounces very dry flour
that has been sifted, but do not beat.
This paste should be like very soft bis
cult dough. If too sticky to handle,
dredge in more flour very carefully, as
the softer you can handle the paste
the better the cakes will be. Have a
plate of powdered sugar by you. Dip
the palms of your hands into that in
stead of -four Break off pieces of the
dough about the size of hickory nut,
roll into a ball lightly and quickly.
Drop into buttered pans, being careful
not to put them too near together.
Bake in quick oven. While they are
baking, stir the whites of the eggs
stiff with powdered sugar. add Juice
of half lemon. When the cakes are
done let them lie in a towel a few
minutes, then spread the bottoms Of
half the cakes with the frosting, stick
ing the bottom of another cake to each
one.

KEEP THE MATTRESS CLEAN
It Not Only Marks the Good House.
keeper but Is Essential to
Good Health.

An immaculate mattress Is more
than the sign of a good housewife. 1t
is essential to good health. Even a
clean sheet will not keep sensitive
person from shrinking if the mattress
looks queer.
There need be little excuse for any
dust If care be taken. Every mattress
should have a twilled muslin cover
that buttons on, so that it can be
frequently washed
If mattress is for big double
bed 1t should be In two parts for cas-
Ter turning. The extra-careful house
wife pulls the mattress up over the
footboard each morning, so that 1t airs
on all sides. 1t should at least be
turned once a day, not always in the
same direction. This prevents the
ugly ridge when two are sleeping in
the bed
Rubber sheeting should be used I'M
der the linen in cases Of sickness. In
an emergency folded newspapers are a
good substitute.
The easiest way to clean mattress
Is by the vacuum cleaner. If 1t must
be done at home, put it in slightly
dampened sheet and beat with wick
er carpet beaten until all the dirt
seems to be out; then take new
sheet, turn the mattress and repeat.
If a mattress seems to have be-
come knobby or ridged it may have to
be done over. The hair is freshened
and steamed and new ticking pro-
vided. This can be done for from 81
to So for a double mattress.
When small stains have got on a
mattress they can often be cleaned
with French chalk.

This was declared by United States

interests of the federal cost or living
investigation, refers to the high cost
Of living in the cities as compared
with the prices received for food prod
ucts by the farmers and calls for
"a thorough investigation of the con-
ditions of country and city life as an
aid in bringing the wage earners and
farmers closer together, eliminating
the wastes of distribution, promoting
cooperative selling, buying, storing
and warehousing, cooperative credit
and knowledge of cooperative meth
DDS, collective bargaining and arbitra-
ton between employers and employees
and the encouragement of the owner
ship of homes by wage earners and
