Have you ever stood over your kitchen
range in utter and helpless dispair and
asked yourself why your biscuit refused
to brown on top, or what made your GRO
quettes break open; how you could cook
bacon and avoid the smell; what was the
reason that your doughnuts soaked fat;
why one roast was juicy while another
was dry when the meat before cooking
was equally choice; why your cake that
went into the oven as fine and smooth
''fell'' in the process Of baking; what
made your mayonnaise separate; why
your pie crust was tough; what made the
fruit Juice cook out of your pies, or what
made your maringue sticky and thin
when II should have been light?
These and a hundred other questions
of vital Importance to the woman who
either cooks her own meals or directs
Herald's Free Cooking School to be held
in the Arcade, under the personal d.
rection OF Mrs. Helen Armstrong,
throughout this entire week.
No Puzzle This Week.
The Puzzle Circle is given no enigma
to solve this week in order that every
one may give her full attention to the
great big contest that involves $500 in
practical prizes. which is to culminate
Mrs. Armstrong; interesting lectures.
The articles OF baking entered in this
contest will be turned over to Mrs. w.
E. Andrews. president of the Federation
of Womens Clubs, and president of the
Infants and ChiIdrens Dispensary in
Southwest Washington. They will be
sold by a committee of ladies selected
by Mrs Andrews to the cooking school
attendants. and the proceeds will be used
in furthering the work of the dispensary,
the day nursery and milk dispensing sta
tion-all a work of love and service to
little children and babies, many of whose
lives have been saved through its work.
There could be no more appealing cause
TO which to give the proceeds OF the
sale, and I am sure that every woman
who enters the baking contest will feel
the double motive Of winning one Of the !
splendid prizes to be offered, and the |
knowledge that the sale of her contest |
article will bring some part OF health |
and happiness into some little life.
The first prize in the baking contest |
is a $50 gas range. The other prizes |
will be announced in full either Tuesday |

SLOW ON TARIFF

WASHINGTON, March s.-Aware
that the tariff is full of pitfalls for
ambitious politicians the Democrats
have determined to proceed cautiously.
Sentiment is gaining strength among
them that only a partial revision of the
tariff should be undertaken at the com
ing session.
It is probable now that only few
schedules viii be revised at the coming
session. These win include food, agri'
cultural implements, cotton, wool and
possibly steel
The leaders are going to do every
thing in their power to avoid a business
depression, which they realize would
endanger their chances for electing a
Democratic President in 1912.

Members of both houses Of the legis-

improvements and the methods of con-

Goodhue, and with hearts overlooking

of circumstances OF from their own

and Kalawao, the two principal towns
of the settlement.
The greatest credit is being given to
Goodhue for their work, and certain
needs pointed out by these gentlemen
will undoubtedly be carried out by the
legislature. One is a demand for new
hospital, to cost at least $4,000, and
another is for new building for a
nursery for the babies, which will also
approximate $4,000, as well as a num-
Der of small cottages for residents.
