The social season" in Washington
opens nominally with the assembling
of congress. In reality. 1t blooms fully
only with the White House reception

one Of the most beautiful functions of

fact, the wives of cabinet ministers

The League Of PoIiteness,


The League Of Politeness has been
formed In Berlin. 1t aims at inculcat-
ing better manners among the people
of Berlin. It was founded upon the
initiative OF Fraulein Cecelie Meyer,
who was inspired by an existing or.
ganization in Rome. In difference to
the parent organization the Berlin
league has chosen the Italian motto,
PRO gentilezza." This will be en-
blazoned upon an attractive little
medal worn where Germans are &C.
customed to wear the insignia Of Or
ders. The idea is that GLANCE at
the "talisman" will annihilate any in
clination to indulge in bad temper or
discourteous language. "Any polite
person" is eligible for membership.

MosIem Traditions.

Ramadan is the menth exalted by
-Moslems above all others. IA that
month the Koran-according to Mos
lem tradition-was brought down by
Gabriel from heaven and delivered to
men in small sections. In that month,
Mohammed was accustomed to retire
from Mecca to the cave OF Hira, for
prayer and meditation. In ythat.month
Abraham, Moses and other prophets
received their divine revelations. In
that month the doors of heaven are
always open, the passages to hell are
shut, and the devils are chained" So
run the traditions.-The Christian

FARMERS CURE
THEIR MEATS
This May BE Done Rather Easily
and Flavor of Product Much
Finer-DeIicious at Ger
tain Times.
By s. C. MILLER.)

..
In these days of salt-peter, benzoate
of soda, formate and other dope
used by the big manufacturers in
the curing of nearly everything we
eat, wonder why more of our farmers
do not preserve their own foods,
particularly meats. 1t seems to me
there is more danger in the use OF
preservatiyes in the use of meats than
anything else. and picking of meats
on the farm is such simple matter
that every man who kills his own pigs
should in addition to hams and bacon
put down a barrel of meat picked,
Properly cared for, it is delicious at
certain seasons Of the year. On the
old farm in Virginia the following
method was always used. No better
meats were ever put on the farmers
table:
For each 100 pounds of meat take
two pounds of sugar and four pounds
of salt. Mix well and when the meat
is first cut rub it we'll with pure salt
on the flesh side. Let it lie a day or
two and then drain out any blood that
may be left. Divide the sugar and
salt mixture in three equal parts.
Use one part on the meat and pack in
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1910-12-15

: barrel 1t should then be allowed
to lie three or four days when it
should be rubbed with another portion
of the mixture and three or four days
later repeat the operation with the
remainder. 1t should then be packed
tightly in barrel. After lying three
or four days 1t is ready to hang up.
II must be kept in cellar or some
place where it will not freeze while
the curing process is going on. When
applying the salt and sugar mixture
it is more convenient If one has two
barrels to use at the same time.
A great many people do not seem
to understand that smoking meat does
not cure it except as the warmth from
the fire causes the moisture to evapo-
rate. There is no particular virtue
in the smoke itself and meat could be
as well cured by any kind of slow
gentle heat even II no smoke came
from It, However, the heat from
clean. fresh hickory chips can never
be improved upon and If people be
lieve that the quality of the meat is
improved by the sweet odor from
this form certainly no harm will be
done The main thing is to keep the
heat regular and at low point in or
der that the moisture may be drawn
out from the meat evenly.
