SAM ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
VENTI0N IN MEXICO FIFTY YEARS AGO

Austin, Texas. Dec. 29.-The interest
ing historical fact has been brought to
light that Gen. sam Houston urged the
United States, more than so years ago,
to establish a protectorate over Mex
leo. At that time there were internal
troubles in that country similar to
those which are now disturbing its at
fairs.
In a speech in the United States sen
ate, Gen. Houston recited that OutlaWry
existed along the Texas frontier and
that IL was the duty OF the federal
government Of this country to protect
the interests Of its citizens, to send its
troops into Mexico and assume control
of the republic. His resolution pro-
posing a prOtectOrate was tabled. His
speech on the measure was in part as
follows;
1T is essential to her public morality
and general prosperity as is that of any
other state I'm the union to another
The line Of partition between the Unit
ed States and Mexico stretches nearly
1000 miles-10O0 of which is Texan.
Along a considerable portion of that
line, on. our side, savages abound, over
whose propensities for the commission
of crime on the Inhabitants on the other
side we can exercise, although obligated
BY solemn treaty stfDula tiOns to do so.

Mexico cannot prevent this, because
she is never free from civil war or
other internecine commotions. and We
can not at any cost short Of hermeti-
cally sealing our frontier. Thus good

ters at present stand, is next TO an i'm
possibility. The one can not repel and
the other can not pursue.
THE notion that Mexico viii ever

which She has been so deplOrably re-
duced is too absurd TO be entertained
by rational mind. The more she strug-

Baking Helps
Learn to Regulate the Heat OF
Your Oven

By1f,s. IaNet 1fcKen-ie Hill, Editor Of
tie Boston Cooking School Magazine
There IS just one way to make
your cakes rise high and keep an
even surface. Have your oven
moderate at first, until the cake IS
fully rizen; then increase the heat,
so as to brown It over quickly.
Extreme heat stiffens the dough.
IF you stiffen the outside of the
cake before the rising is complete,
you stop the rising process. Then
the leavening gas, forming inside,
viii bulge up the center, where
the dough IS still soft, and spoil
the shape Of the cake. "a
NorE-Biscuits or other pastries
made from stiff dough, that are cut into
shapes for the oven, bake In a hot oven.
This Is because the cut surfaces of the
dough do not scar over, but rather
leave the pores open, allowing the
1eavening gas to escape and the heat to
penetrate readily. Small ovens cool
quickly; therefore they should be made
several degrees hotter than a larger
oven, and the less the door Is opened
the better. Do not attempt to bake
bread and pastry together. Bread re-
quires prolonged, moderate baking
pastry the reverse.
Have a strong uuderheat for baking
powder preparations, especially pastry.
These are only a few Of the many
baking helps found in the < c Cooks
Book-a copy Of which may be secured
by sending the colored certificate taken
from a 25-cent can Of K c Baking Pow
der to the JAQUEs MFc- Co., Chicago.

The Reason for Branch Plant,

For quite a while 1t has been the
EFFORT Of the hosiery mill people Of
Walhalla to secure sufficient opera
tiVes to run the plant In Walhalla
full capacity and full time, but they
have found 1t absolutely impossible
to secure more than about one-tihrd
the number of operatives to carry
out this plan, and as a consequence
much Of their machinery has been
Idle practically all the time. Only
recently the plan OF carrying the idle
machinery to some point where helm
ould be secured was hit upon as the
best solution OF the problem of ope-
rating the plant at full capacity.
The original plan, as stated by the
~Spartanburg Journal, was to divide
the plant in such manner as to do
the knitting and first work at Spar
tanburg or some other point, COM
pleting the product at the dyeing and
finishing plant at Walhalla. With
true S~partanburg spirit, however, the
~Spartanburg people preferred a lar
ger plant and made efforts to that
end, with the result that If the
branch is established in that city
(and 1t Is thought to be practically
an assured fact), the two plants,
while under one head, with head
quarters at Walhalla, will be each
complete in itself. Some Of the ma
chincry Of the Walhalla plant will
be shipped to the branch plant and
other new machinery purchased to
make two fully equipped plants.
1t is matter Of GoIlOus regret that
condition have never been such as to
make the operation Of the plant here
at full capacity, or anything like full
capacity, a possibility. Conditions at
Spartanburg are widely different,
however, and the prospects are for
an ample supply Of first class hosiery
mill operatives within a very short
period.
The change will in no way curtail
the lumber Of operatives at the Wal
halla plant, but, on the contrary, the
mill owners will maintain their pol

cure an unusually nice and clean

system, the operative making more

lails or their employment. There
