Many housewives believe In boiling
new earthenware before using 1t, as
this effectually toughens and hardens
II. This is particularly efiicacious in
the case OF ordinary brown kitchen
ware, the articles being placed in a
large pan OF cold water which is then
brought slowly to boil After being
allowed to boil for ten minutes remove
the pan and allow the water to cool
before taking out the ware.
A kitchen bouquet for flavoring
soups can easily be made. Take few
sprigs of parsley and wrap them
around peppercorns. whole cloves. a
bay leaf and other herbs that are at
hand. Tie up tightly. This can be re-
moved from the soup without trouble.
To make string beans or cabbage
tender in cooking them and also to
shorten the time required for cooking
the latter vegetable, add pinch Of
baking soda TO the water In which
they are boiled. This, used judcious-
ly, makes the vegetables as fresh and
tender as when they came from the
garden.

Lorimer the first case in history is
put in record of a man being denied
a seat in the United States senate be-
cause of charges of bribery in his cleo
ton. He Is not even entitled to be
called ex-senator, because the senate
of the United States voted that he
was never legally elected to that body.
When he walked out OF the senate
chamber-not out Of 'yonder door"
that he indicated when challenging
Senator Kern, but into the Republi-
can cloakroom--he left behind HIN

has enjoyed. Having thus been de-

luton OF Senator Luke Lea, Democrat,
of Tennessee, declaring Lorimer's
election was brought about by corrup.
ton and that the seat should be de.
clared vacant.
Leaves Floor After Vote.
