Third Term Advocates
There With Usual Story.

roe that there were a dozen candidates
for the presidency in 1924, and that not
one of them had been strong enough to
of the electoral votes. This, they told
him. would throw the contest into the
House, an evil of evils. They also as
sured him that he had been entitled to a
unanimous vote last time and that he
would get it this time Furthermore.
they asserted, if he retired Europe would
not understand it and would conclude
that the United States had not backed
him Gs up on the M9nT9e Ws
pronunciamentO that he offered a resolu-
ton in the House backing it up. Later,
remembering that he had been called a
war hawk out in his own west because
of his vigorous championship of the war
of 1872 for free trade and sailors
rights, he sidestepped the difficulty by
asking that the resolution continue to lie
on the table.
Monroe had a difficult time of it bal
ancing between his candidate-a dviserS. He
complained that Crawford had given him
considerable trouble. although some his
torians assert that he threw the weight
of his influence quietly to that gentle
man. An undated memorandum among
his papers shows that upon one Occa
sion ne cogitated upon proposition to
ask Crawford to retire fro milne cabinet.
That Crawford did not feel that he had
had the support of Monroe is shown by
the fact related in Adams diary, that
he afterward cursed Monroe to his face,
and that Monroe was on the point of ring
ing for a servant to escort him from the
White House when Crawford thought
better of himself and apOlOgiZed to the
President for his behavior.

men and women lined the banks OF
the Park river, Hartford, Conn, Offer
ing futile suggestions for three hours
one recent afternoon, as to how to res
cue poor little puppy that had be-
come marooned on an ice foe, the
water had frozen on his hair and he
yelped piteously as he ran smiling at
the open water on all sides of his Ice
island. Humane Society agents were
attracted by the crowd and got long
planks with which to bridge the water
to the shore. The puppy started over
it, only to fall in to the water, from
which he scrambled back onto the ice
foe. Then a woman solved the prob
lem. She ordered the men to strap
two planks together and sent her own
pet dog across the planks to fetch
stick which she threw onto the foe.
After she had repeated this twice the
lonely terrier understood and eau
tiously followed the other dog to shore

HELPFUL HINTS.

To make ham tender. parboil and
fore serving, fry quickly until gold
en- brown. 1t will be tender, moist
and altogether nice.
II little vinegar fs added to boil
ing fish 1t will keep 1t from falling to
pieces This will serve for cooking
eggs In water, too.
A nice idea to follow, II boards are
plenty. is to keep one especially for
use in chopping or shreddirg onions.
Burn round letter o in the back and
1t will never be used for any other
material.
An unusual combination for salad,
but good one, Is sour pickles, pea
nuts and peas served with any desired
salad dressing on lettuce, using lit
tie onion juice in the dressing.
Another salad combination which Is
very delicious and most attractive in
appearance Is pears. almonds and can
died cherries for garnish, using the
French dressing.
Salad Dressing for Lettuce Sand
wiches.-One egg yolk beaten light.
add four tablespoonfuls of melted but
ter, half teaspoonful of salt and ta-
blespoonful of vinegar, red pepper to
taste; stir without cooking. Spread on
bread without butter. Place a piece
of lettuce or slice of cucumber on
each for sandwich filling.
Add few almonds to potato salad
to add to It's food value and make 1t
more palatable.

up a cold In one night If the cold Is
In the head, good greasing OF the
nasal passages and the outside of the
nose with carbolated vaseline is a
great relief.
A severe cold on the chest may be
relieved by good greasing of lard
and turpentine. one part turpentine TO
two parts lard.
Cough Medicine.-Boil two ounces
of flax seed with quart of water
Strain. and add two ounces OF rock
candy, a half pint of honey. the juice
of three lemons. Boil all together un-
til well mixed. Let cool and bottle
Two tablespoonfuls. taken hot. Is a
good dose.
Another fine cough cure Is sliced
onions. Sprinkle with sugar and put
into the oven in a granite dish to
cook. When the onions are dark
brown the sirup will be ready to use.
A glass of warm milk taken before
retiring Is a good sleep producer.
Hot milk is a good drink to take be-
fore starting out into the cold. as 1t
warns and nourishes at the same
time.
Beets are fattening, and they are
food which should appeal to, the
thin woman.
Do not leave meat wrapped In pa
per. The meat is not only favored by
the paper. but the paper will absorb
the juices of the meat.
When making French dressing.
small piece of Ice in the salad bowl
will make dressing thick and well
blended.
The water in which a mutton stew
is cooked or a leg Of lamb boiled Is
a good basis for a soup.

PRETTY SASH CURTAIN
EFFECTIVE WINDOW DRAPERIEs
NEED NOT BE EXPENSIVE.
Remnant Counters viii Yield All That
Is Necessary, and at Reasonable
Prices-care in Design and
Arrangement.

Until the spirit for contrivtng lays
hold on one 1t would never seem pos
sible that the prettiest of sash cur
taIns could be SO easily designed and
that without visiting the precincts Of
the ''drapery department"
Few are the seasons when the rem
nant counters Will not yield short
lengths of plain lawn. dimity, cross
barred muslin, dotted swiss or even
the finer grades of white or cream
colored cheese cloth. And be it said.
with emphasis, that many elaborately
draped windows, where costly mate
rials have been hung with lavish dis
regard for expense, have far less re-
fined and restful effect than ones
where straight curtains of this soft
and simple material, edged only> with
plain hens, are used.
Cheese cloth looks well for several
months. often longer. and after, say.
half dozen washings. the plain little
curtains are ready for yeoman's serv-
Ice as busters and polishing cloths.
and fresh ones can be put up at very
moderate expense.
But it Is with the slightly more dur
able fabrics that charming results can
be attained Plain lawn, with dell
cate figure stencilled on the two Inch
hem to harmonize with the coloring OF
the room, is In perfect taste. Failing
skill in the use OF stencils, 1t Is an
easy matter to add to the plain
breadths of pure white, hens of fig
ured material. or vice versa; or to in
set between hens and body of cur
tains insertions of inexpensive lace or
the wider and heavier quality of foot
ing. This is especially effective
where dainty dimity has been chos-
en- for the sash curtains.

GOOD THINGS.

A most appetizing breakfast dish is
toast with white sauce generously
seasoned with cheese and poured over
It.
Vermicelli added to white sauce
or tomato sauce is another good
dish for luncheon, on toast.
If there is daughter or son away
at college, a chicken or small turkey,
or duck, roasted In paper bag, and
sent packed In a new one to be used
in warming 1t up If desired, will cause
a son or daughter to rise up and call
his mother blessed"
Another dainty for that box of
goodies is a nice cake. One that will
keep moist for several days. Is the
most satisfactory.
The layer cake of three layers. the
middle one Of fruit and spices. put to-
gether with orange filling is especial
ly inviting. and it will surely not last
long enough to dry.
Home made candy and some of
mothers good cookies. with package
of thinly-sliced dried beef. should not
be forgotten In packing the box.
A jar or two of jam will delight the
heart of boy. and his friends will ap-
preciate 1t as much as he.
Date cookies are another choice ad-
dition. Bake oatmeal cookies and put
them together with stewed dates that
have been seasoned with lemon Juice.
One has the individual taste to help
decide what is best to send in the
box.
The following 10 cake that many
would find too expensive, but for such
an occasion 1t will add to the pleas
ure. II the pocketbook is deep enough:
Macmillan caks.-Take two cups Of
powdered sugar, one cup OF black
berry jam. one cup OF sweet milk. two
thirds Of cup Of softened butter. five
eggs or the yolks of twelve. two tea
spoonfuls Of baking powder. spices to
taste: mix all together and bake In
layers. Put together with raisins and
nuts and boiling frosting.
