"HE taste for savories is an in
creasing one, but it is one of
which no housekeeper has much
reason to be afraid, for with a little
ingenuity and forethought she and her
cook can produce quite dainty and APP
petizing dishes, out of what, in the or
binary way, would have been looked
upon as quite unconsidered trifes and
of little use to anyone. The average
man, however, will enjoy his dinner
very much more il it ends with a dainty
little tid-bit of some kind. A great
deal of the success of a savory depends
on how it is served, for little more than
a mouthful is needed for zach person.
and the cook should be encouraged to
suggest ideas. 1t Is an excellent train
ing, too, in economy. for both the cook
and ends which otherwise would simply
be thrown away. Cold savories should
not be served on toast, for this SO
easily becomes sodden, therefore neat
slices of white or brown bread, or
cheese or anchovy barquettes should
be substituted, spreading the bread
with some savory butter just to give
an added daintiness to the ultimate
appearance of the dish.
The cook should know how to prepare
croutons properly. for though these
seem simple enough they are by no
means always nicely served.
C~routons-Slice down some stale
bread about one-third to half an inch
thick. remove all the crust, and then
either cut them into squares or stamp
them out into circles with a round cut
ter and fry them in butter or well
clarified dripping till of a pale golden
brown. drain well in front of h fire,
or in the mouth of the oven till quite
dry and crisp. For croustades or
caisses cut the bread somewhat thicker,
from half to one inch thick, and stamp
these out into rounds or squares then,
with a smaller cutter or knife, mark
out an inner circle or square, pressing
the cutter well down into the bread to
within a quarter of an inch of the I'M
der side of the bread; fry as before,
then with the point Of a sharp knife
remove the inner ring and all the moist

you do so with a drop or two of to-

Two Unwelcome Conditions.
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear MISS Doom;
Will you please publish something that
is good for bedbugs? | had them last
summer They were all over In the boards
and were very thick. I never had them
SO bad before. l would like to get rid of
them. 1 tried a great many things, but
they didn't seem to help. 1 will be very
thankful If you can help me.
Another thing l would like to have
your advice about is dandruff. It is only

Fumigating with sulphur is an effect
i've method of Kidding a room of bed
bugs. Fake the furniture out of the
room, close the windows and doors,
light a sulphur candle and leave the
room tightly closed for the day. Late
in the afternoon open the windows to
let the sulphur fumes out and paint
all the cracks with a strong solution
of corrosive sublimate and wood aleo-
hol. Corrosive sublilnate is a poison,

containing 1t accordingly. Before re-
placing the furniture treat it to a gem

the bed is a brass one grease 1t or
otherwise protect 1t, as the fumes of
the sulphur will blacken 1t. Paint the
woodwork, the bed and all the furni-
ture three times a week with the COR
rosive sublinate and alcohol until the
bugs disappear entirely. Then once q

Keeping Linen White.
Dear Miss Doom:

q Miss Doom:
Please let me know what oan be dom
with linen and muslin which have
turned yellow? What can l do to pre-
vent clothes from turning this color? I
have a chest of clothes which will have
to be stored two years. and would like
some advice from 0 as to the care Of
them. M. D. A.
"a Wash and boil with a white soap
and bleach in the sun. You might add
a little ammonia to the water in which
you wash them IL they are badly yell
lowed, taking care not to use enough
to harm the clothes. (2) Before putting
them away, rinse them in bluing water
just strong enough to color them light
blue. Do not starch them, for the
starch is apt to rot them.

How to Press Silk.

Dear Miss Doom:
How does one press silk? When I use
a damp cloth in pressing silk or wooden,
1t leaves a dark ring. How can I clean
white gloves? J. N.
Press the silk on the wrong side, OF
If you wish to press 1t on the right
side use a dry cloth. A damp CLOTH
should never be used in pressing silk
One usually needs to dampen the cloth
for pressing wooden goods, and 1t ough,
not leave a stain unless it is too wet
Put the gloves on the hands and wash
with gasoline.

TO REMOVE STAINS

Cover paint stains with butter or
olive oil and apply terpentine. If the
stain is very old, chloroform will be
better to remove it.
Lemon juice, milk and the juice Of
ripe tomatoes are excellent to remove
ink stains from white materials.
Grease spots caused by dripping can
dies may be removed by using cologne.

Bedroom COl0rs.

MY Dear Miss Doom:
What colors do you think best to paint
two bedrooms, one a north and the other

If you mean the woodwork, white
is always good for bedrooms; or If
you mean the tinting of walls, deli
cate shades of pink, green, blue or
yellow, according to you WI prefer
ence.

S~tammering Her Affection.

I am a girl 20 years of age and ~stutter
very much. What causes this, and how
can I overcome 1t? Sometimes 1 am
hurt very much by people making fun
at my expense.
CONSTANT READER.
Stammering is a v affection
aggravated by self-consciousness. Mild
cases can sometimes be overcome by
self-eontrol, but this is probably never
true of more severe cases. There are
schools for the Ire of stammering,
and your physician may be able to
recommend one.

The people win decide by the refer
endum
Where shall the referendum be
taken? The people will decide by
the initiative
The REFERENDUM results
when laws are prepared by the
legislature and are submitted 10
the people. The INITIATIVE re
suits when laws are prepared by
the people and submitted to the
legislature.
The initiative in respect to local
conditions is frequently adopted.
When in South Dakota, as many
as five per cent of those who
voted for governor in the previous
election sign a petition they estab-
lish a right to be heard on any
question of state laws.
The required number OF sigma
lures to the petition is not uni
form in the states and munlcipali-
ties in which the initiative is op-
erative. In the city of San Frau
cisco fifteen per cent of the votes
cast at the last election are re-
quired: in the state of California,
so per cent; in Iowa, 10 per cent,
and in Nebraska. fifteen per cent.
To submit laws to the vote OF
the people is a live and important
question. 1t is not a new prlnci-
pie in American politics in local ap-
plication. The education of the
voter should convince him wheth-
er the initiative is a principle that
is capable of expansion from
narrow to a broad application. Are
the people, as a rule, fitted to give
judgment on legislative measures
To answer the question, ask your
self:
Am ] so careful student of DO
litical questions that my opinion Is
intelligently formed on any pro-
posed measure of legislation?
Do I actually know anything
about it?
DO l keep in mind when ] vote

Do | vote with a sane point OF
view as to property protection. to
the purpose of taxation, and so on?
Between the man who thinks
upon the right of the franchise in
this way and the man who crimi-
nally disposes of his vote for a
price stretches the whole range Of
voting intelligence.
All the conditions that may sur
round us as people depend on
whether the voter is intelligent
and responsible. Let him be a re-
former in the truest sense of the
word.
Let him also remember that
many writer's and papers are in
clined to regard the reformer as

Our Women Workers
Bv ELBERT HUBBARD.

a GREAT life insurance compa
~ ny. whose actuaries have
more than a national repu-
tation for soundness of reasoning.
has recently given its agents some
instructions on insuring the lives
of women. | quote:
Whereas. this company has not
heretofore thought best to insure
the lives Of women, it is now ac-
ceptable for you to secure applica-
tions for policies from women as
follows
~ Accept applications only
from women in business on from
wage earning women who have
people dependent on them.
-. DO not accept women with an
income that IS not derived from
their own property"
From this ! assume that these
hard headed actuaries, who elimi-
nate galiantry poetry and senti-
ment from their calculations, re-
gard married women and women
who have things provided for them
as uncertain propositions to insure
Wage earning women are rea-
sonably happy. Steady. systemat-
ic work means health. The COM
petent man or woman is a good
moral and financial risk.
A married woman may be COM
petent or she may not. She may
be happy or she may not. 1t is
quite unnecessary to question her
she will not tell the truth about
herself. and it is exactly the same
with a woman who lives on the
bounty provided by either a live
man or a dead one.
Four fifths of all the surgical
cases in public hospitals are per
formed on women. But Of the
wage earning, wealth producing
women. no more go to hospitals
proportionately than do men. Ii is
men who take the physical risks of
the world-it is men who operate
railroads, tunnel mountains, sail
ships, mine ores and build build
ings that scrape the sky
Yet, in spite of these facts. the
Atlanta Georgian., 1912-06-24

insurance actuaries much prefer o
insure men who are abroad In the
world doing things than to accept
risks on women who abide In the
safety of the home and are pro-
tected and shielded on every side.
From this there is only one conclu-
sion. and that is. that 10 he mar
rled and Itesp house, And 20 ha
an income and do nothing. are
hazardous undertakings
1t is not the dangers of Childbirth
that make women a bad risk-it is
the paucity Of their lives. If it we're
the dangers of motherhood the in
surance companies would not re-
fuse women over 50, but married
women, and those unmarried. who
are provided for, are placed in the
same category.
The real fact is. few women
comparatively. are admitted into
the work Of the world Woman is
the slave of her housekeeping
slave of a man When she cets
married she throws up her lob. And
in New York, if she is school
teacher, her marriage is equal to
resignation. Hence the misery that
leads to the ether-cone, the ligs-
ture and the scalpel.
And that is the reason WHY IIfe
insurance companies, as a rule. win
not insure the lives Of married
women. The average married wom-
an has no high purpose in life-no
output for her ambition. no rock
upon which she can strike her m
tellect and cause the yelling waters
OF life to flow.
She has tasted OF life and found
it alkaline-all there is for her now
is submission. She is a massive
party SO the insurance actuarv.
viewing the average married wom-
an with his cold, calculating. fnan-
cia eve. declares her a hazardous
risk. and passes her up.
Give women the ballot! II will
help to enlarge their lives. improve
their mental and physical estate.
and make thcm better risks. Also.
it win make them better compan-
ions Of men.

The Education of the
Voter
No. 2---Initiative; Referendum
An Easy Explanation of Some Of the New
Political Terms
By THOMAS TAPER.

TT is important for the citizens
of a republic to know some
thing about its government.
If you help TO elect those who
make laws. you are in part respon-
sible for the result.
Our form of government. that of
a republic. recognizes the people
themselves as the source of power.
Reading he daily paper of late
you have come upon a number of
new words which spring out of the
political situation of the day. These
words are Initiative, Referendum,
Preferential Primary, The Recall,
and the like. What do they all
mean?
Keep in mind the fact that the
Federal Constitution does not es-
sentially take precedence over
State Constitution. In fact, one
supplements the other. Also, keep
it in mind that a Constitution is
always the result of progressive
history. This fact progressive
History, made it necessary to add
fifteen amendments to the Consti
tuition of the United States, There
is one further thing 20 remember:
History is progressing now, in 1912,
and it will keep on progressing, or
misfortune will swallow us up.
II.
The words Initiative and Refer
endum do not occur in the Federal
Constitution. But In Article | of
the Amendments it is stated thai
Congress shall make no law pro-
hibiting the right of the people to
petition the Government for re-
dress of grievances. 1t is import
ant to remember this petitioning
right of the people.
In politics, the words Initiative
and Referendum are frequently
used together The Referendum
is nothing new. and we shall see.
The word Initiative in this con-
nection refers to the right of he
people. of you as an individual
voter, to initiate. or start, or or
ginate legislation. Any petition
on the part of the people-you are
one of them-for the passing of a
desirable law is the Initiative.
The Incorporation of this principle
into practice has been brought
about in South Dakota, Iowa Ne
braska and California
Local application of the initia-
tive has long been known. When
the people of town frame a pc
tition to open up a new street and
present il with sufficient sigma
lures to the town fathers they
have availed of this privilege. Often
a governing body refers a ques-
ton to the people. This is the
Referendum. The whole gist of
the matter has been successfully put
by DR. Oberholzer in his treatise on
the Referendum
Shall the law, he says, which has
been passed by the state legisla
ture apply to particular locality?
