LYON is SUGGESTED.
The Information from Columbia is to
the Eject That He is Now Being
Mentioned Prominently for U. S.
District AttOrneyship.

District AttOrneyship.
Columbia, Nov 7.-Attorney Gener-
al Fraser Lyon is being prominently
mentioned for United States district
attorney to succeed Mr.. Cochran and
the friends OF the popular and able
attorney general are confident that he
Will be the man. This is, OF course,
al possible because Woodrow Wilson
was yesterday elected president of
the United States, the first democrat
to be chosen for that Office for 20
years.
Mr.. Lyon Is rounding out his third
term as attorney general and he has
made an enviable career in that
office. He was elected on the anti
dispensary platform in 1906 and did
valiant service in breaking up the
G. NJ. L., and in ferretlng out the
corruption Of that old institution.
Although fought bitterly at every
turn and faced by odds which would
have daunted a less courageous and
public spirited servant, Mr.. Lyon
never swerved but did his duty to his
state.
Mr. Lyons experience in the office
Of attorney general peculiarly fit him
for the office Of district attorney and
his friends are hoping that he will be
appointed by President Woodrow
Wilson to succeed the present incum-
bent, Mr.. Il. F. Cochran OF Anderson,
whose term expires on the fourth Of
next March.

The ramekins either with or without

sonable sum and will be found most
convenient for individual dishes of
this description.

HOW TO COOK
MUSHROOMS

Mushrooms are treasures in the
hands Uf inventive cooks, who recog.
nize that they afford possibilities be-
yond the delicious butter-basted grill
or cunning mixture with kidneys or
chicken.
1t is not easy TO describe the distin-
gushing features of the poisonous and
non-poisonous sorts. The true mush-
rooms gives off fresh, pleasant odor,
has the gills underneath of a pink
flesh color, changing to dark brown
or blackish, as they stand, while the
outer skins are dry and white, re-
sembling buckskin The flesh between
the peel and the gills is also white.
The poisonous fungi ON the other
hand, give off an offensive smell, are
OF orange or red color, changing to
blush when dry; the top skin is scaly
and spotted, while the whole surface
is moist and clammy.
Lastly, the edible sorts, as a rule,
grow singly in open pasture lands,
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-03-30

are made on this basis. A man sees
nothing, knows nothing, but dim
pie, trick of smiling, the wave of
the hair about a tiny ear. A girls
whole world is summed up in a pair
of broad shoulders, or a certain de-
ference in manner. All other CON
siderations are lost in what. may be
called this physical attraction Lit
tie annoying habits are CLOSED over.
1t is hopefully believed that marriage
is a magician to remedy all these.
But alas, it is just the other way
about. Familiarity dulls the charm
of the complexion and the figure.
Frequently the actual complexion
and figure disappear. And that which
we have banked on IS altogether
gone The faults that seemed OF nttle
consequence now fill the whole hori-
zon. Or we look for those beauties
of mind and character which some
how subconsciously we thought were
there, to discover too late that they
are lacking.
But if it is mind and character we
want, and after all, with most of
us, these are the lasting and the
real joy-giving things of married life,
we had better look for them before
marriage, if We hope to find them aft
erward. AS has been said, it is the
rare man or woman who combines
beauty and brains, it is the unusual
girl who attracts with her beauty be-
fore marriage, and charms with her
mind afterward. Divorce court an
nails prove that what this English
writer says is true. So that If we
wish to insure happiness in our mar
riage, as nearly as an uncertainty can
be assured, it would be we'll for us to
turn the critical after-marriage eye
upon the one who is holding us in
the before marriage thrall.
BARBARA BOYD.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-03-30

Before marriage" says a promin-
ent English writer, the shape, the
figure, the complexion carry all be-
fore them; after marriage, the mind
and the character unexpectedly claim
their share of consideration, and that
the largest"
It's very true, yet it shows how in
considerate we are, what illogical rea-
soners! For when the shape, the
figure, and the complexion are such
as to arouse attention, the mind and
character are often a minus quantity.
And when the mind is all that it
ought to be, the figure isn't worth
mentioning.
The girl who makes the success
full wife is the one, who realizing that
before marriage it is the complexion
that counts, pays careful court to the
beauty specialist, and takes great
pains to conceal the fact that she
has brains. Then after marriage,
though she does not neglect her COM
plexion, she brings forth the charm
of her mind to entertain and delight
her admiring husband. OF course, he
gives her no credit for having been
astute. He simply complacently pats
himself on the back for knowing a
good thing when he sees it.
But women such as this are I'M
usual, and since brains and beauty
are conceded to be a rather rare COM
bination, the wise man will be he
who decides beforehand which will
give the most satisfaction on the ma
trimonial voyage-a peachy skin or
interesting companionship, mate to
look at, or one to talk to; and then
having decided, to be satisfied with
his choice. But it is most unwise to
choose the figure and complexion,
and then expect mind and charac,
ter.

A piece from the shoulder is cheap
and good for this purpose. Wash

/ cter al. better than a good baked
potato?" she asked and the lecturer
melted. "If you are putting it on that
ground, by all means have your pota-
toes she said
While / do not so as far as that
/ do sometimes wonder if it is a mis-
taken notion of their dgestibility or
nutritious value which makes them so
inevitable a dish at one, two, some
times three meals a day. For myself,
1 do not care especially for potatoes.
In some forms they please me, but as
a matter Of personal choice l would
almost always prefer rice, or hominy
or else macaroni There must be
others who feel as | do, and yet how
seldom we see any of these in chm
parison with plain mashed or boiled
potatoes. A woman from the Middle
West told me the other day that she
was forty years old before she had
ever seen rice eaten as vegetable,
and then it was at my table.
In the hope of inducing others to
prove the excellence of some of my
favorite ways of preparing rice and
hominy have given the following re-
oipes. Won't you try them for your.
self and tell me how they please you
and your family?
Plain Boiled Rice.
Wash a cupful Of rice in two waters.
Put it on the fire in pot containing
at the least two quarts of water at a
galloping boil. More water is better
than less. Allow a teaspoonful of salt
for each quart of water. Keep up the
vehement boil and do not stir the
rice. Cook fifteen minutes, take out
a few of the grains on spoon and
test then. to see they are tender If
not, let them cook five minutes long
Drain off the water-which may
be- II soups-turn the rice into
colander, cover it with a cloth and
set it over hot water or at the back
of the stove or in the open oven to
dry off for few minutes before put
ting it into heated dish and sending
1t to table.
Eat with butter or gravy as you
would potatoes. Rice cooked in this
way is a very different thing from the
sOggy paste which is usually offered
to you as boiled rice. No wonder you
