campaign against DIR. Wiley .and MS
work He has been practically with
out power to put the law into effect
against strong offenders He has been
Inundated by being overruled by his
subordinates. He has suffered from
an inefficient administration Of the de-
partment of which his bureau lis
part; for the venerable secretary or
agriculture is too old obviously to ad-
minister his great department. Yet,
DR.. Wiley, purely for patriotic rea-
sons, has suffered this hindrance and
humiliation until some change might
come which should unshackle him.
On the outside the bad food and
drug interests-or some of them
have maintained lobby in Washing
ton, have kept syndicate" newspaper
writer's in their pay to write about the
unfairness and the injustice of the law
and the unreasonableness and crank
ness" of DR.. Wiley. One such organi-
zation,-or pretended organization
some time ago sent threatening let.
ter to all the most important periodi-
calls, saying that large advertisers
would withdraw their patronage II
they published articles favorable to
the law.
There has been an organized fight,
therefore against the law and the man
! And, although the mans official power
has been curtailed, he has won-won
| such a victory for the people as will
insure the continuance, with new vigoI
of the campaign for pure food and
drugs, by national law and by local
! laws.
The charge" against DR.. Wiley thai
provoked this popular outburst OF ap
prevail is not worth explaining. He
i made an arrangement to- pay DR.
Rusby, distinguished specialist,
higher rate for work per diem pay
ments, but less than the law permit
ted as yearly salary. BY this ar
rangement the services of DR.. Rush,
to the government were secured fo
| less than if the letter of the law ant
been followed, and he had been pait
the yearly salary that the law speci
| fied-since he gave and was to Civ
only a small part of his time to thu
work. This technical violation of thu
latter of the law-ife it were a viola
ton of it's real meaningless lonl
been customary in many department
of the government; for it has common
: sense and economy to commend it.
When the attorney general wrot
that this offense deserved "condig1
punishment''-the attorney general
what shall be said of him with re
spect? Surely is was a narrow and 81
i ly recommendation. He put grea
er value on microscopic legal techn
cality than on the incalculable servic
of man whose work is worth NOR
to the health and happiness OF tn
people than the work of many pres
dents and attorney general. DR.. w
ley's "offense" was instantly forgo
ten by the public, which has som
common sense if not much legal know
edge. ut the accusation was impor
, ant for this reason: 1t showed tn
determination of those who brougf
it to get rid of him.
Now, if DR.. Wiley deserves dismi
sal for any sufficient reason, it is pr
, per and it is the duty of somebody
present such reason. But to propos
"condign punishment for saving tn
, public money by following cor
mon custom of paying for professions
servise--that shows personal an
| private purpose to be rid OF him.

AN OBSERVER DESIRES A RECIPE

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: Thanks, NJ. Rowena, for your cooking recipe. It was fine.
 I wonder how many of the sisters are finding it something of a puzzle to get their work done in the cool of the morning. I like to have my fire out as soon as possible. When I have veg- etables I plan to get them the night before. As I rise at four and begin my breakfast I try to find a few min- utes to feed and water my hens and chickens while it is cooking
 As We keer about can of milk home each day I put four or five quarts on the stove to seald while I am .atins. The rest goes in the well for supper.
 Rising from the table I get the chil- dren ready to go with their father to the milk train. Next I start my din- ner, such as vegetables or meat Two young calves claim my attention next,
 Returning to the house I make a cake, or pudding, or whatever l need. washing my dishes last while the cake or pudding is cooking.
 I wish to thank MT. Bromley for his advise. I think if I had his roses 1 would keep the wild rose, even if it did kill the Rambler
 I am sending recipe for MoFasses Cookies-Put teaspoonful of soda in- to a coffeecup; three tablespoonsful of hot or boiling water; stir three

THE INSTRUCTIONS WERE PLAIN
 AND PRACTICAL.

Editor Social Corner: I want to tell Housewife that I greatly appreciate her thoughtful kindness in answering my query in regard to hemstitching. She made the directions so plain I could do it without any trouble at all. If she would only tell me her name [ would be pleased to shake hands with her and thank her in person.
 Do you not think it is nice in anyone to be so thoughtful of others. It often brings to my mind what my own dear mother used to tell me: Live not for myself alone.'
 I read all of the letters in the Social Corner and enjoy them very much. Some of them are so interesting and helpful that I know some of our sis ters are true Christians; and if we find out by reading The Bulletin. even if we do not know "Who is Who,' who are true Christians.
 I am thankful for the day when The Bulletin was first printed, if it is over one hundred years ago.
 I heard a minister of our own city say in a prayer a few weeks ago that he found more religion in The Bulletin than in some who call themselves Christians
 But I do not think we should leave it all to The Bulletin to tell who are true Christians, I think we should show it by our daily life. Be a Chris tian in deed not in word and that is just what Housewife has been toward me. She shall have my prayer in re- turn. DULL

MISTRESS IABlIHA TABBY KAT The Garden of Roses DreamIand

Do you wonder that after reading this mysterious address, the very at moSphere in the Editors office took on an air of mystery. The Editor look ed bewildered. Some pretty puzZling things had come to him through the Social Corner, but this one had him guessing hard. The visitor broke the silence by adding
 T see, Mir. Editor, I must explain more definitely who I am and what my errand is,'' she continued: I'm the Social Corner Sisters humble servant. My mission is to visit the diff ferent homes and frighten away any mice which would destroy the precious recipes, written by the Corner Sisters, or deVour the tasty delicacies made from these va1ua ble recipes" You see, MT. Editor, that my work (sort of a Puss-i the Corner Business) is most interesting.
 The Sisters are such kind hearted, hospitable ladies that even a Tabby Kat enjoys going among them. l tell you, I've lived with all classes of ladies and partaken of all varieties of foods: but the dainty dishes that the Corner Sisters get up are nothing short of wonderful; and the beautiful honey ideas they carry out
 I heard the husband of one sister make the remark that any dish pre- pared by a Corner Sister was fit to send to the Cornation and set before the new King and Queen.

GERTRUDE SENDS HER FIRST
 LETTER.

Dear Editor and Sisters of the Social Corner: I have a Social Corner scra D. book and I fly to it often, both for the nice recipes and directions for do- ing other things.
 AS variety is the spice of life I think it very nice to exchange ideas and ways of doing things; and so not get too deep in old ruts
 This is my first letter to the Corner, but all this while I have been peeping through the shutters. Have thought 1 would like to write; but each week there has seemed to be enough with out me. Our mailman gets along dur ing the dinner hour and the good man unfolds The Bulletin and hands Social Corner sheet over with smile.
 I enjoy Mas letters very much as I am raising a good many chickens. l am very fond of all animals on the farm from the Cat up to the dear kind faithful horses; snd will be glad to see the last nad of hay unloaded both for the mems sake and the horses
 M. Lucia, I think it is quite a prob lem to keep the house rid of flies l have a weight hung on my screen doors so the children are obliged to trot right along when they go in and out as the door shuts quickly
 This is a very long letter I fear for the first. Success to the Corner.
 GERTRUDE.

SOFT SUMMER DRINKS.

Dear Sisters and Brothers of the So- cial Corner: I hope you all have sur vived the extreme warm weather.

A FEW WORDS FROM RUTH.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: l must confess I am getting fonder and fonder of Social Corner letters and stories. I feel it is pleasant to be in such a good -natured, reciprocal fam fly.
 We have such a lot of good letter writers and they pay such gracious compliments to one another. The stories have shown that we have among us talented writers. The first eialville,'' so cleverly pictured by Rural Delivery. "In Lilac Time" by Experience, impressed me as a true hone-heart story; and that tale: Our Son from College" by Ma, was full of the elixir of youth. My dear sisters we are doing things in the Social Corner and doing them well.
 It may be well for you all to know that pin run through the cork of every bottle containing poison is a small precaution which may save a life. The protruding point by prick ing you will remind you what you have in your hand even in the dark.
 Perhaps some of the Sisters have delicate velvet ribbons that have be- come soiied which they would like to clean. Just take the cleanest rag you can find and put upon it the least suS- picion of butter Then wipe smoothly the way the pile runs over the soiled surface, and then wipe it over with another clean cloth. As the wiping cloths become dirty use fresh ones and in a very short time the soiled look vaniehes leaving the velvet clean and giossy, and looking as good as new This is a trade secret I learned from milliner, and I have often proven it's effectiveness.
 To clean a colored serge skirt put a handful of bran in basin and pour uopn it about half a pint of boiling water, then let it stand to cool When cool dip the handbrush into it and thoroughly brush the entire skirt and then hang it in the air to dry. When quite dry brush off all the particles o1 bran adhering to it and then press thoroughly on the wrong side with a hot iron. This will give any worn serge skirt a new lease of life.
 May all the sisters find daily pleas- ure in the duties of life.
 RUTH.

FAYE vERNAs GREETING.

Dear Editor and Members of tthe So- cial Corner: Our Corner is so en- chanting, you see I can't keep away long,
 decided to remain in our Corner be- cause l have enjoyed all you have ever written. Days Drive in June was very entertaining. I think Ve would all be pleased if you would take drive in July and report to the Corner.
 MT. Bromley has written so much'N that is helpful about Roses that we. want him to feel at home in the midst of us, and why shouldn't he? Two of confessed to delightful memories of happy days spent in the dear old Buckeye State. Now I am certainly and surely a product of the Buckeye State, for it was there that I first saw the light of day. I have also lived in eastern and western aa Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Connecticut.
 I never saw white birch or an OK team until I came to Connecticut.
 Centennial Square: You have my sympathy and I hope you will soon feel like writing again. We have\ al- ways found your letters so helpful.
 Observer: I am glad some one be- sides myself love the dear little whip poor-will. I listen anxiously every spring for his little song. While sit
  several years ago one came within sight; but in the semi darkness it was very hard to tell just what he did look like. I should say he was dark slate color with some white on his throat
 Thanks only One for your nice com pliment; and I am so glad you en- joyed M. Roena's little sponge cakes I know they are good because I have. eaten them in her home surrounded by her beautiful flowers.
 M. Lucia knows what is good and I hope she and her family enjoyed their Sunday luncheon. It is nice to- know how to enjoy vacation at home. We eat our noon day luncheon' out of doors nearly every day. The little folks enjoy it so much.
 Dear Morning Glory, I agree with you exactly about vacations as it looks a bit selfish to me to see the wife and children pack their trunks and start for the country or the seashore and leave the husband and father to toit day after day, perhaps, in a heated factory building then when his day work is done to go home to a dark ened, cheerless home with no loved ones to greet him.
 I did want to go to Atlantic City SO much with the c. Els that I almost got out of sorts; but hubby couldn't go so I didn't either; and we will enjoy our vacation together under the shade of our own apple trees.
 Where's Billie? I cannot but won- der if it is my really truly photograph she has in mind, or only q mental picture Now all of my own people say that it makes no difference whether I am an Apple Blossom or a Ministers Daughter, they know me as FAYE VERNA. . E Colchester

A SOCIAL CORNER SONG.

Sisters of the Social Corner: We have in hand a poem which has the ring of a Social Corner song, from the pen of R. Duane Bromley, entitled: "Banish that F'rown," which we shall print next week; and which appears to since he seems to be beyond competi- ton.
 The next Social Corner story will be entitled: "A Mix-up in the Sugar" by Mrs. E. c. T., which illustrates how a Crouch can be sweetened by . trick. We are impressed that there is 8 smile in it for every member.
 The Sisters of the Corner are main taining it surprisingly; and in perfect freedom we are finding more than could be foreseen when the depart ment was started. Tie management of The Bulletin is feeling rather proud of the department, because it is just as creditable to the contributors as it Is to the energy and enterprise of the paper.
 The Social Corner Stories are com- ing to an end, and we shall soon have to have some other attraction, unless the Sisters desire another competition, and a new series. If they think they would enjoy another series, The Bulle- tin will be agreeable to it.
