Once again, MIR. Wickersham is
using the machinery OF the great
office of the department of justice

millionaire heads fillegal trusts
A hundred instances could be cit

means Of especially prepared opin-

attorney general, who stopped i'm

$500 acres. 1t was Wickersham,
the attorney general, who sanction
ed the Taft administration railroad
regulation bill, later exposed and
altered, containing joker legaliz-
ing the Southern Pacific-Union Pa
cific merger, recently held unlawful
by the supreme court. 1t was Wick
ersham, the attorney general, whose
suit against the steel trust is one
in equity instead of criminal
prosecution.
At the time of the appointment
of Wickersham it was said his Sc
lection by Mr. Taft was in recogni-
tion of the desires of the great in
dustrial trusts Of the country. who
had contributed large sums to Mr..
Taft's campaign fund, and who as

How to Make Good Old
FaslAoned Boston Baked Beams

Fannie Merritt Farmer, cookery
editor Of the Woman's Home Com
panion, writes about Good Old
Fashioned Dishes in the January
number of that periodical. She
says that the young housekeepers of
oday seldom make the old-fashion-
ed dishes that were so popular a
generation ago. She suggests that
the reason for these dishes having
fallen into disrepute lies in the fact
that carefully written rules for
their preparation are difficult to
get hold of. She presents ten reci-
pes for these old-fashioned dishes,
including the following:
Boston Baked Beans-Pick over
three cupfuls Of pea-beans, cover
with cold water, and soak for sew
eral hours. Drain. put in stewpan,
cover with fresh water. heat grad
ually to the boiling-point, and let
simmer until skins will burst. which
is best determined by taking q few
beans on the tip of q spoon and
blowing ON them, when skins will
burst II sufficiently cooked. Beans
thus tested must of course be
thrown away. Drain beans. Scrape
three-fourth pound piece Of fat
salt pork, remove q one-fourth-inch h
slice. and put in bottom OF beanpot.
Cut through rind Of remaining
pork at one-half-inch distances. Put
beans In pot and bury pork In beans,
leaving the rind exposed. Mix one
tablespoonful OF salt, two table,
'poonfuls Of sugar, and two table,
spoonfuls Of molasses. Add one
cupful Of boiling water and pour
mixture over beans; then add
,nough more boiling water to GOV.
er beans. Bake in a slow oven
eight hours, uncovering- the last
hour Of the cooking. that the rind
may become brown. Add more boil.

Under previous conditions. when
the real work was carried out in the
tent structure that formerly graced
the lot in question, work was only
performed with difficulty. The quart
ers were cramped and in addition
the ground floor was covered with
several inches of dust, making the
place somewhat disagreeable. The
printers complained about the dust
and dirt. claiming that frequent ablu
tions were necessary instead of tbs
regular Saturday night cleaning pro
