The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1910-08-19

An anti Catholic weekly published in Seattle in
commenting on the troubles in Spain between the
church and the government advanced the idea that
Spandiards were waking up to the needs of their ma
ton and demanding religious liberty. To this state
ment the Northwest Progress rather hoty REPLIED
branding it as an ebuiton of ignorance and bigorty
and then pointed out the fact that the most OF the
European countries more or less slaves to some
government endorsed religion, and did not enjoy as
much religious freedom as did the Spanish govern
ment If the Progress is correct then more is the
pity. We have quarrel with you as to what rellg-
ious denomination you belong The Catholic faith is as
true as the Protestant and think the true Catholic
worshiper is walking as straight and narrow path to
the peary gates the Protestant but the Catho or
the Protestant that his prayer book as political
propaganda is neither christian nor citizen. 1t IS
not our purpose discuss the Spanards and their re-
gous teachings the Swedes and their religious be-
lefs and we do not know to what extent any OF the
European countries permits the mingling of church
and state but we do believe every man should think
and act as he pIeases without any interference from
anv one else whether it be priest or parson. 1t
any country uses religious faith to whip its subjects
into submitting to certain form of government then
we repeat more is the pity.

Southern white acknowledges the equality of no
darker race, and it seems next to miraculous that he
should have sought such honors from darker race.
But all of this talk of the white man refusing to bend
the knee to darker depends wholly upon the po-
ston of fortfcation the darker race holds and what
it holds in it's hands.

How to Make Tea.

Tea is responsible for many ills,
especially among women. While
it is the simplest matter in the
world to make tea properly, it is
unhealthfully prepared more often
than otherwise. Tea is absolutely
unfit to drink when the brewing
process proceeded beyond a certain
point and tannin is liberated. but if
care is taken the evils of moderate
tea-drinking may be reduced to a.
minimum. The old rule which
calls for a teaspoonful for each per-
son and one for the pot is unthink-
able from the standpoint of the
modern dictitian Snch brew is
ruinous to the skin, stomach and
nervous system.
To make the tea properly and as
nearly as can be hygienically, buy
good tea, preferably black. Heat
the receptacle in which the tea is
to be made with hot water. use one
teaspoonful or less of tea to a pint
of boiling water, allow the water to
remain in contact with the leaves
five minutes, then pour off and use
at once. Never put the teapot di-
rectly in contact with intense heat.
A very safe and satisfactory way of
making tea is by the use of the tea
ball, as very little tannin contami-
mates the beverage thus made. The
abuse of tea is common and a fer
tile source of serious nervous dis
ease. The habit of giving tea and
coffee to young children is little
short of criminal.
While on the subject of bever-
ages let me remind you of butter
milk. The beauties of three gener-
ations back looked on buttermilk
as an invaluable aid to their charm.
They used it as a wash and they
drank it freely. While it does not
appeal to our modern ideas of
cleanliness to battle in it, we still
consider buttermilk one of the most
healthful foods.
Let me suggest a few luncheon
menus for our girls who want to
look wholesome aud feel well. Fol-
instance, try a glass of sweet milk
or buttermilk with Boston brown
bread, between thinly cut slices Of
which cream cheese has been
. spread. If these sandwiches are
