POPULAR VOTE FOR DELEGATES
 ID CONVENTION
An Idea Which Is Gaining Strength Among the Dem
 ocratS of the South
WILSON'S ADHERENTS
 THINK 1T WOULD HELP
On the Republican Side the ProgreSSiyes Believe That II Would Give La Fol-
 lette an Advantage
(By Victor ElIiott.)

WASHINGTON. October "A mum Der of delegates 10 the next democra- tic national convention vii be chosen through state3 wide primaries. The new system has been fixed by the law in some of the states. and it is be- lieYed will be adopted by a great many more when the time comes to arrange the preliminaries for the cleo ton of the next presidential candi- date.
 Five states will choose delegates by direct vote. These states and the dates on which they will hold their primaries 10 select delegates are North Dakota, March 19: Wisconsin, April F; Nebraska. April IT; Oregon, April I9; New Jersey, May 2S.
 IL has been pointed out by the Ma tboual Democratic Progressive Lea que that the state committee in any of the states may, if the democratic voters of that state desire 1t, demand that the delegates be chosen by 9 direct vote. The south seems to be taking hold Of the new idea with re markabIe favor.
 Question of Expense.
 Politicians, both republican and de mocrats, who are urging the adoption of the direct vote plan throughout the country, point out that in most states a political party may choose de legates to the national convention by and plan it may choose to adopt. ing the direct vote system, insist that any political party should be able and willing to stand the expense O. the new plan Of selecting the delegates The whole subject is likely to receive considerable attention between now and next January, when city, county and state committees will receive Q general shaking up, and adopt new olsns for the selection of delegates to the national convention
 Texas EaVors it.
 The prediction is frequently made bv men connected with the Demo cratic National Progressive League that about half of the southern states will use the direct vote plan in the SC lection of delegates. 4 resolution was nassed some time ago by the Texas legislature advising the state democra lie committee that it could adept me direct vote plan for selecting aeie gates to the next national cohNen ,,son and 1t is generally believed ,haf the advice of the legislature VII be followed by the committee ant means provided at the next meetns of inc committee for the carrying ou Of the innovation -

 Helpful To Wilson.
 Up to the present time the Demo cratic National Progressive Leasle and the managers of the Wilson can paign have done very little toward trying to prevail upon the democra- tic committees in the northern states to adopt the direct method. They ex- press the belief. however, that nu- merous northern states will within a few months adopt the new plan. Will son adherents. who have made trips through the southern states within the past few months in the interest of their candidate, have brought back the report that if the south would generally adopt the direct vote plan. practically al the delegates from that section would be pledged to the New Jersey governor. These men calm that they found the rank and file of the democratic party in the south very much in favor Of the direct vote me thod, but in a number of states they found politicians who are supporting some other candidate for nomination holding out for the good old conven- ton plan of selecting delegates.
 Republican Proeresslves.
 The direct vote plan is also favored on the republican side by the La Toilette adherets, and the manager of the Wisconsin progressives campaign for the nomination express the hope that agreements may be reached in several of the northern states under which the convention method Of SC lecting candidates may be set aside in favor of the new direct vote plan. Proposals along this line have al ready been made by the La Folette managers to leading politicians in the state of Iowa, and considerable time will be devoted to laying the plan be fore the leaders in other western and middle western states.
 1 The La Toilette people believe that i the voters of Iowa, if allowed to give ! direct voice to their sentiments would 1 favor the selection of Senator La Toilette as the next presidential eandi- ate. They assert that Taft has been steadily losing ground in Iowa, while La Toilette has been growing in favor, and that when the direct vote system 1 is in operation La Toilette would gain | the majority of delegates from that state. So sure are they of their ground that they are willing to leave
 the matter to the people for determin
 ation.
 Widespread attention will be at tracted to the preliminary skirmish 1 for the delegates from the five states
 that are obliged, under law, to vote | directly, and who is to represent then
 at the national convention. In each
 of these states, New Jersey. Wisconsin l Nebraska, Oregon and North Dakota ! the followers Of Governor Wood
 row Wilson and Judge Harmon or
 one side and the adherents Of Tafl | and La Toilette on the other have for some time been active an behal | of their candidates.

LIME WATER MADE AT HOME
Summer Luxury That Costs Little and
Conserves Health of the
Family.

A more general use of lime water
during hot weather is much to be de-
sired 1t can be made at home and
costs but little. Lay lump of quick
lime as big as the two fists in a gran
iteware pitcher or bowl, pour over it
two quarts of cold water, stir with
a wooden spoon, and let it stand six
hours. Strain the liquid without dis
turbing the sediment of lime. Put in
bottles and cork tight; before using
pour off half an inch of the top If it
has stood any length of time
Lime water is good to rinse bottles,
pitchers, and pans that have held
milk.
To sweeten drains and bleach out
murk left when stronger alkalies have
failed.
From teaspoon to tablespoonful
in glass of milk will make it &C
ceptable to delicate stomachs, espe-
cially where there is acidity.
Lime water is good for a mouth
wash. Equal parts of lime water and
sweet oil make the very best remedy
for burns and scalds and will not be
forgotten when once used.-Chicago

SOME EDIBLE WEEDS
VALUE OF ROOTS THAT HAVE
BEEN THOUGHT USELESS.
Golden Thistle May Be Used Like. Sal
sify-Leek as a Food Staple
Milk Weed Has Taste Re-
sembiing Asparagus.

The roots of the golden thistle have
been found to be good. They are used
like satisfy. They may he dug in
September and kept through the win
ter. Thus what has heretofore been
regarded as a pest by the farmers
may now be looked upon as a partial
blessing.
Leek is another weed now honored
as a food staple. 1t has wholesome
properties and is excellent for flavor
ing. 1t can be wintered in a cellar,
or if planted in large pot the leaves
may be cut as often as they get too
long to support themselves. Then,
too, the bulb may be Whitfield away
from the top until it be used up.
The common mallow is another
well known weed now being eaten. 1t
roots deeply, drawing valuable min
eral elements to the surface. 1t has
a mild, mellow flavor and those who
like lettuce find it palatable. The
young leaves are tender and crisp
and are prepared like lettuce. 1t is
valuable tonic which the ancients
made use of constantly as raw food.
The common milkweed. cooked,
tastes like asparagus. 1t should be
cut when about foot high. The
stalk is large and succulent. Boiled
and served with butter is the usual
way Of cooking, says the Scrap Book
1t is also used as a salad, the tender
tips only being utilized. Milkweed
is excellent for the kidneys.
Another weed which, when boiled
like spinach, makes nourishing dish,
is the commonly called lambs quar-
ter" 1t grows where large quanti-
ties of loose earth have been exposed
to the sun, as in railway filling or
newly made country road. 1t has a
straight stem, from which the leaves
grow large and sparse at the bottom
and smaller and more thickly toward
the top.
The ordinary wild nettle hiatt grows
in prickly abundance in every farm
yard and fence corner is now being
recognized in this country for the first
time as a valuable food plant. 1t is
a good substitute for spinach if prop
erly cooked. OF course, it should not
be used without cooking.
To use flower bulbs as vegetables
seems a strange thing, yet the dahlia
is being cultivated for its tubers.
They make a wholesome food, having
a warm, spicy flavor that is much
liked. The single red variety of Dahlia
is the one cultivated for it's tubers.
In good soil 1t is as productive as
the sweet potato. 1t may be plant
ed from seed in early May, and by the
middle or last of July the tubers are
large enough to dig.
Cut it into cubes, after peeling, and
fry in olive oil with a dash of curry
powder. Or it may be cooked like tur-
nips, beets and carrots.

RroiIed Steak.

While porterhouse or sirloin steaks
are the approved cuts for broiling,
even tougher steak can be broiled
if treated first in this way: Put 8
tablespoonfuls olive oil and one table
spoonful vinegar in large fiat dish.
Lay the steak on the mixture and let
it rest for half an hour. Then turn
and let it rest another half hour in
the same quantity oil and vinegar.
Two inches is the approved thickness
for broiled steak. If broiled over
coal the fire should be clear and
bright If under gas fame leave the
oven door open that the air may cir
culate freely while the steak is broil-
ing. A steak two inches thick will
take about Is minutes to broil To
tell when meat has cooked sufficient
ly, press with the back of knife If
1t offers a slight resistance it is rare

Avoid Disputation.

The disputatious person never makes
a good friend. In friendship, men
look for peace and concord and some
measure of content. There are
enough battles to fight outside, enough
Earring and jostling in the street,
enough disputing in the market place,
enough discord in the workaday
world, without having to look for con-
tention in the realm of the inner life
also. There, if anywhere, we ask for
an end of strife. Friendship is the
sanctuary of the heart, and the peace
of the sanctuary should brood over it.
It's chiefest glory is that the dust and
noise of contest are excluded.-Hugh

Inspect Fruit In State.


A party of leading fruit growers, ac-
companied by four professors of the
state college of agriculture, has just
returned after visiting every part of
Door county, north of Sturgeon Bay,
and the ship canal. This was the first
of a series of trips that will cover
the state. The first half day was
spent in inspecting the cherry and ap-
pie orchards around this city, among
them the Hatch, Bingham and Law
renee orchards, which are well known
throughout the country.
The crop from the Lawrence or
chard of eight acres brought nearly
$4,000 to the owner in 1909 and the
same for the two succeeding years.
The sour or pie cherry thrives at Stur-
geon Bay. One orchard company has
260 acres planted and will increase
this to 1000 acres. Another company,
financed wholly by Milwaukee school
teachers and principals, planted 80
acres last spring and will increase
this to 10 acres. Thus far the plant
ing has been confined wholly to the
vicinity of Sturgeon Bay and Sawyer.
The purpose of the inspection trip
was to learn if conditions in the up
per peninsula are suitable for orchard
purposes.

Criticism of Cheese.

Cheese made in Wisconsin during
July showed the effect of the hot
weather. While the texture and color
were good, the flavor of some cheeses
showed careless handling of the milk
at a time when conditions were UNI
favorable. The result is barnyard
odor and a grassy milk flavor and
slightly sour product. The flavor of
the cheese should receive first con-
sideration by the factory man. The
product with good flavor will sell
even though defective in other points
A number of cheese makers have, in
recent years, been attempting to make
good cheese out of poor milk. This
will work while the cheese is new and
the flavor undeveloped; but little
later, the flavor and odor become
sharp and strong and tainted.

USE FOR THE CHEAPER CUTS
If Properly Cooked They Are Not to
Be Despised, but Must Have
Careful Preparation.

Butchers should endeavor to correct
the impression of customers that only
the high priced meats are valuable as
food. On the contrary, says the Ma
tional Provisioner. the cheaper cuts
are often more highly favored and
fully as nutritious.
The chuck is one of the cheapest
portions of the beef, but when cooked
slowly in a small amount of water
either with or without vegetables for
seasoning is most excellent dish.
In stewing meat If too high tenn.
perature is used it will tougher the
fibre. Another mistake is to overlook
the meat until it falls to shreds. The
skirt steak sells for two or three
cents a pound less than the others,
but if properly cooked is just as good
Lay the steak on meat hoard and
score it well with a chopping knife.
Then dredge with -four and put it
into smoking hot frying pan that
has been creased enough to keep the
meat from sticking to 1t. When well
scared over on both sides pour over
it a little boiling water and allow it
to simmer slowly for two hours. Sea.
son to suit the taste. A bit of carrot
or onion or bay leaf and little vine
gar to soften the fibre will add to the
flavor of the meat.
All light meats are best stewed and
Drowned just before serving. Mutton
or beef is best Drowned first and then
stewed. Cheaper cuts are best cooked
in the freless cooker. When roasting
meat it should be quickly scared over
to retain the juices and then cooked
slowly until done Usually fifteen min.
utes to the mound is required.

Inside the Empty Fire Box.


seen, this device is placed inside the
empty fire box. having four side
frames which rest on the regular
CRATE, and the auxiliary CRATE is sus
pended several inches below the un-
der side of the stove top. AS the bot
tom is perforated, sufficient draft Is
provided, and also ease of access to
the fire with the poker for raking out
the dead ashes from the bottom.
While the fire is necessarily thin and
light, it provides plenty of heat for
cooking a meal, and soon burns itself
out after accomplishing it's purpose.
OF course, the device is not confined
to coal for fuel, but will operate
equally as well with wood, charcoal or
coke.
