The country will have a much clearer idea than it
now has of Colonel Roosevet's present attitude to-
ward real progressive policies after he has made his
speech to the Ohio Constitutional convention of Feb
q. Before the millions of republican progressives
throughout the country stampede to Roosevelt in the
effort to prevent the denomination of President Taft
it would seem wise to wait for this speech.
For some years there has been very little from the
lips from the pen of Roosevelt to indicate whether
he has been keeping pace with the progressive sem
timent of the country whether the progressive
sentiment has gone far beyond him.
If Colonel Roosevelt's Columbus speech proves

Surely in such case the ultimate triumph of pro-

SOME HOT DISHES FOR COLD
NIGHTS.

There Is nothing more satisfying
and warming on damp, chilly night
than good bowl Of hot soup. Cream
soups of different kinds may be had
every night In the week, and the va
riety not run out.
One may have tomato bisque, thick
ening the cream OF tomato for a
change, or potato with little onion
and milk makes a most appetizing
soup.
Another favorite dish Is:
Spanish Rlce.-Into a buttered ba-
king dish put a layer Of cooked rice,
sprinkle with finely cut broiled ham,
or fried ham, sprinkling of onion
grated and seasoning of red and green
pepper chopped, salt and then another
layer of rice. Pour over a generous
amount Of tomato, and bake until
thoroughly heated through. The sea-
soning of this dish will make or mar
1t.
Southern Rice-Melt a tablespoon
full of butter in a frying pan, add a
Glove Of garlic and a large chopped
onion a cup of washed rice. Keep
stirring the rice until 1t is slightly
brown and crisp Then add a cup Of
tomato and fill the pan with boiling
water. Cook until the rice is tender
without stirring If possible, as each
grain will stand out by itself.
Chicken Stew.-Cut up a chicken
with a Glove Of garlic and two small
onions; cook until half done, then add
the following sauce:
Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter in
a frying pan; add a tablespoonful of
-four and generous sprinkling of cay
enne. When we'll cooked add salt and
a cup of tomatoes; stir and cook, add
ing salt and sage, if liked.
Poached eggs are very nice for a
supper dish with the above sauce.
A mixture of lard and suet makes a
very desirable fat for almost alb uses
that lard would be put to. The soft
beef fat Is the best.

Grange Memorial Days.

More and more the Oranges Of
various states are setting apart a me-
mortal day, when appropriate tribute
shall be paid to deceased members.
Sometimes a Sunday afternoon service
is designated, or again regular even
ing meeting is given over to this pur-
pose, the former. however, being the
cemetery, for the decoration of the
graves of departed members, is often
the feature of the occasion. The
Michigan State Grange has just Off

October as the grange memorial day,

local Oranges all over that state.

PAPER BAG DISHES.

For those who delight in the flavor
of fish, there is no more agreeable
way of serving them than when
cooked in a paper bag. The bag must
not be an ordinary, but one made for
the purpose of the tough fiber paper
especially prepared for such cook
ing.
One might have a paper supper, pa
per table cover or doilies and napkins,
paper candlesticks and shades, paper
favors and paper flowers for decora-
ton. This would be especially appro'
pirate for a paper wedding anniver-
sary.
The cocktail may be served in tiny
paper bags torn open to show their
contents, the salad in paper cases and
the meat and fish in individual bags,
piping not, or a larger bag with the
whole serving on a platter.

Apple dumplings baked in a paper
