ROOSEVELT PAPER
is FOR TAvENNER
FORCONGRESSMAN
Galesburg Mail" Progressive,
Supports Peoples Candidate
in This District.

The Galesburg Mail, one of the
strongest Roosevelt papers in this sec
ton of the state, has come out editor
tally for Clyde H. Tavenner for con-
gress and against c. J. Searle. This Is
by far the hardest blow that c. J.
Searle's candidacy has received.
The Galesburg Mail has a circulation
of several thousand readers in this
congressional district, and nearly every
reader is either a republican or pro-
gressive In double column editorial
under the caption, "Tavenner for Con-
gress," the Mail says:
THE Evening Mail believes that the
interests of the Rock Island district
and of the progressive party will be
best served by the election of Clyde
H. Tavenner to congress.
"Mr. Tavenner, by his long acquaint-
ance in Washington and his associa-
ton with men of affairs, has thorough
ly qualified himself TO serve his dis
trict. He has shown on numerous oc-
casions. in fact on every occasion In
which opportunity has presented itself,
that he is willing and anxious to fur
| Their the interests of his constituents,
whether they are rich or poor. His
greatest attention. however has been
paid to those who are unable to help
themselves.
when the new pension bill became
law, Mr.. Tavenner transformed his
little Office in Washington. In which
he has faithfully served the Evening
Mail and other newspapers for years,
/ into a veritable branch of the pension
/ bureau, and thousands of old soldiers
all over the United States owe the
prompt pushing of their claims to him.
His services were given without price,
not only to soldiers of his own dis
trict, but to the Grand Army boys all
over the nation, even in far-away To-
calities, where he had no hope of re-
ward
This is only one instance Of the
helpfulness and sympathy of the man.
They could be multiplied almost in
definitely. Mr.. Tavenner is thorough
ly qualified for the Office he seeks. is
willing to give of his best to the ser.
vice of his country, and is worthy OF
the vote of every citizen of his dis.
trict
"As for Charles ]. Searle, nobody
knows whether he is for Taft OF
Roosevelt, and it appears that neither
the Taft republicans nor the progress
q sives consider themselves bound t
5 support him. Certainly the progress
T sives, to whom he gave assurances o.
v support, which he has so far failed tc
make good, are free to cast their vote.

descent When Baptiste saw this and
that for time the danger was lessen
ed he went in search Of help and re-
turned with four stout peasants. Three
hours afterward Violet le Due was ex-
treated.
In spite of his perilous position the
ruling passion was strong with the
artist. for. although he was almost COW

Ribbon flowers are much in demand.
They trim hats and gowns.
For hair ornaments they are quite
charming.
Corsage bouquets of ribbon violets
are effective and look quite natural.
Gauze ribbon flowers ornament some

Bought In the shops these flowers
are expensive. but any girl with deft
fingers may fashion them for herself
at small expense.
For the stems and leaves the ordi-
nary hat foliage may be used.

vioIets. made by placing two Of the
flowers side by side and twisted upon
a green covered wire. suit the pres
ent style of couture admirably.
Messaline is the material preferred
for fashioning these flowers.

PUFF PASTE.
To Make Nice Pastry Coco Waserisls
Are Essential.

To Make Nice Pastry Coco Waserisls
Are Essential.
The basis of good pie is pie crust.
While lard is generally used for puff
paste butter is more digestible. A
mixture of half lard and half butter
will do for everyday puff paste, as it
is less expensive.
One essential in the making of puff
paste is the use of good materials and
good utensils. A glass rolling pin is a
convenience every housewife should
have. A marble slab on which the puff
paste may be rolled is the best. At any
rate. care should be taken that the
board Is perfectly smooth.
When rolling use quick, light
stroke. covering the whole paste ar a
stroke.
Before beginning to roll pat out the
paste to make it fiat before you begin
to roll 1t.
Here is recipe according to which
puff paste may be made without milk
and butter when these ingredients are
not available: To every quart of -four
take one heaping tablespoonful Of lard,
warm. but not melted: one teaspoonful
of salt and two teaspoonfuls of baking
powder Mix all together we'll. Knead
with water. Bake in quick oven.
