HOMEMADE VANILLA EXTRaCT
Preparation Needs Care and Time, but
One May Be Sure Of Its
Wholesomeness.

There are various recipes for max

or essence and some of these are too
complicated to be practicable in anna
teur hands at home. If plenty of time
can be allowed for the strength of the
fiavoring to be extracted from the
beans the following is simple and
satisfactory recipe for home made
preparation for home purposes: For
an eight ounce bottle, take eight Ton
ka beans, split them in two. soak
over night In two tablespoonfuls OF
warm water, and fill up the bottle
with deodorized alcohol. II takes
some time for the beans to digest in
the fluid but the extract is of excel

ticable recipe for a good homemade
vanilla essence: Deodorized alcohol.

IMPROVING THE TABLE LINEN
DalntlIy Embroidered Initials Add to
Appearance as Few Other
Things Can.


Nothing so vastly improves the ap-
pearance OF table linen as daintily en-
broidered initials in the corner. To a
certain degree the fashions change
each season: but a safe rule for the
conservative needlewoman to follow
is:
For tablecloths, letters two inches
long.
For napkins, letters three-quarters
OF an inch long.
Sheets, two inches long.
Other articles are marked according
10 the taste OF the embroiderer. But
the best method OF marking linen is a
problem which presents itself very
often. .sA-s a.
There are many ways to choose be-
sides the plain embroidered initial
stamped either in script or block type.
Perhaps the most attractive method
OF working large initials is to en-
broidsr the letters over fine net. cut
ting away the linen underneath. so
that when finished II will give trans
parent effect that Is unusual and beau
tiful.
The work Is not difficult and can be
done rapidly by one who has any ex-
perience in heedlecraft.

a hotel in the west who sat down TO a
dinner of pork and beans. He re-
marked to the landlord that he never
ate pork and beans. The landlord re.
piled: Then help yourself to the mus

Mr.. Root quoted lucid and admir-
able statements of Chief Justice Mar
shall and Abraham Lincoln to the
same effect as his own deliveranee
But il his deliverance is less epigram
attic and memorable than theirs, his
is more concretely applicable to our
particular present emergency This is
what he said:
However wise. however able. how
ever patriotic a Congress or an execu-
tive may be. however convinced they
may be that the doing OF particular

the door opened also to the self-seelling

government In which official power
Is not limited. and the limitations up
on official power can be preserved on

observance.
Mr.. Root quoted John Marshall: ITO
what purpose are powers limited, and
TO what purpose is that Limitation
committed to writing. II these limita-
tions may. at any time, be passed by
those Intended TO be restrained?"
He quoted also from Abraham Lin
coins First Inaugural Address: "a

tional checks and limitations and al
ways changing easily with deliberate
changes Of public opinion and senti-
ment. is the only true sovereign OF a
free people. Whoever rejects Il. does

Every year our people choose be-
tween anarchy or despotism on the
one hand, and n government, not OF
persons, but Of law. on the other our
citizens are continually making that
choice. just as the moralsman is con-
choosing between good and

The conditions Of liberty are well
set forth by Senator Root. Even lib.
