REvIvINa WILTEp ROSES.

WE all have been distressed at hav-
ing choice roses wilt before their
time. Here is a way to save the beau
ties in distress. Try putting the stems
into boiling water. Before immersing
them in the bath lightly scrape down
the limp stems so that the hot water
will soak through. The best way is to
put the withered flowers in a deep
pitcher and pour the boiling water the
entire depth of the stems, leaving the
roses above the surface. In a short
while you will have fresh blossoms.
You mustn't lay the flowers them
selves in the hot water. Just have 1t
cover the stems. This is a point that
should not be overlooked

spoon. Meanwhile make a good white
sauce with two ounces of melted but
ter, two ounces of grated cheese. one
ounce of flour. This should be stirred
all the while into a smooth velvety
cream and not allowed to curdle. Keep
hot and covered until the macaroni is
cooked and has been well drained and
returned to the pan, to which add the
cheese and butter and the white sauce
to be heated together over the fire. at
the last minute adding a gill of cream,
but take care that the macaroni does
not overlook and become insipid and
sticky-a very bad fault. Serve at once.

AN IDEA FOR THE BRIDE.

IF before acknowledging her wedding
presents the bride will provide her
self with an illustrated catalogue from
a jeweler she will have no difficulty
Identifying unfamiliar pieces and call
ing them by their right names in her
notes of thanks. Each season brings
its novelties. and. especially away from
the shopping centers. the young wo-
man is sometimes bewildered by the
piateaux. the sandwich tongs, the
sliced lemon fork, the teapot tile and
such newer things that come to her.
One bride was sorely perplexed by a
silver acorn with a screw underneath
until a catalogue was produced and it
was discovered to be a Dutch cheese
knob.

EVERY year for a few weeks before
Christmas frantic appeals are put
forth by humane minded women that
you do your Christmas shopping early.
There are really not so very many
weeks before the holiday season will
be here. and unless you enjoy being
rushed to death it's time now to begin
collecting gifts.
No matter where you are. you can
find interesting presents il you keep
your eyes open. Only buy things which
you would yourself like to receive for
gifts. Unless you naturally have poor
taste this is good way to judge
whether or not other persons would
like to receive the gifts you choose.

would please some friend buy 1t and
label 1t as soon as you buy lit. Fans.

Important Agricultural Amendment
Drawn by Harrison and Aswell.

An amendment drawn by Represent
atives Harrison, of Mississippi, and As
well, of Louisiana, providing that notes
secured by agricultural products shall
be eligible for discount in the proposed
new banking system, was adopted by
the House currency caucus. The notes
shall run from sixty to ninety days and
bear the usual banking interest.
This amendment is of the greatest
Importance to farming communities.
If it is left in the bill when it becomes
law it will enable farmers to borrow
money on their crops direct at a bank,
without mortgaging their crops, as is
now done, to merchants and note
brokers.
For more than two weeks Represent
atives Aswell and Harrison quietly
! worked among the caucus members to
get this amendment tackled on the cur
rency bill. Instead of making fight
in the caucus they personally inter.
viewed the congressman and explained
the Importance of the amendment. As
result of their work when the amend
ment was brought up it passed the
caucus unanimously. About ffteer
other amendments were rejected.

and link highways will be forty
feet, and the government is to
be committed to furnishing one
half of the sum necessary for
their upkeep. The governors of
fifty States are officials of the
National Highways Association,
and it has five governing bodies,
viz: board of trustees, a board
of national councillors, a council
of governors, council of COM
missioners, and a board of advis-
ors. Gov. Hall, of Louisiana, is
a member of the association.
We are particularly pleased to
note that the State of Louisiana
is crossed in its southern limits
by the southern Main" national
highway, leading from Mobile
via Covington, Baton Rouge, New
Orleans and Lake Charles to
Houston. Also two of the Trunk
highways span Louisiana, one
from Vicksburg to Shreveport,
and the other from Baton Rouge
to Shreveport. This latter road,
as plated, runs by way of Alex
andria, Colfax, Montgomery and
Coushatta, and is identical with
the road planned to run through
this region by the Louisiana State
Highway Department.
In fact the National Associa
ton proposes to act in harmony
with the various States, and i
especially requests that the High
way Departments of the States
make suggestions as to the bes
location of highways within thei
borders.
The national system of high
ways is not only outlined, but !
