Spanish cookery is quite simple. the
most important ingredient used is the
fiery pepper.

be prepared first, to serve with this
dish, which is a meal In itself. Fry

add a quart of tomatoes, four or five
red peppers, two tablespoonful OF
butter and a pinch Of salt, and set the
mixture on the back part Of the stove
to simmer. To prepare the omelet.

fuls of butter and six well beaten eggs,
the yolks and whites beaten separate
ly. Pour the sauce around the ONE
let when 1t has been placed on the
hot platter.
Mexican Scrambled Eaes.-Roast a
dozen fresh green peppers, peel, re-
move the skin and seeds, and chop,
then boil in a very little water until
tender; season well with butter. Beat
six eggs, add seasoning and the pep

butter.
Mexican Stew.-Put a pound OF
round steak through the meat chopper,
mold into small balls Into hot fry
ing pan put a minced onion. a cup OF
tomatoes. two or three peppers and a
quart of water. When 1t boils add the

CITY MANAGERS.

The vote of two to one by which
the citizens Of Dayton, overcoming
a combination of politicians, adopted
the commission form of government,
with the addition of the idea of hir-
ing an expert to be the citys gen
eral manager, recalls how the orig
inal commission plan was also born
in the crisis of great calamity.
In each case the existence of a
disastrous flood, with problems of
reconstruction not suited to the cali
bre of customary administrations,
forced the trial of new devices and
brought forth degree of civic inter-
est which insured, for time at least,
superior men and improved results.
Thus out of misfortune comes ben
eft; and it becomes true of cities,
as of individuals, that 1--WE rise on
stepping stones of our dead selves
TO higher things"
The city manager, working as the
hired agent of an elective commits
sion, who decide large questions OF
policy but leave him unhampered in
the working out of details, offers
the promise in this country of the
efficiency which in Germany has at
tended the similar plan of employing
expert mayors by contract, with pro-
motions for conspicuous merit.
This new plan does not mean that
John Smith, average citizen, having
cast his vote, may therefore go tc
sleep. The movement is still his af
fair, to be watched and prodded as
necessity suggests. No scheme will
remain clean which doesn't have hin
on the watchtower.
But it simplifies his fixing of re
sponsibility and allows him create
freedom to judge policies by results
That's why we expect it to spread.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen

The place to take a true mans
measure is not in the market place
or in the amen corner, nor in the
forum or the field, but by his own
fireside. There he lays aside his
mask and you may learn whether he
is imp or angel, king or cur, hero
or humbug. We care not what the
world says of him-whether they
crown him or pelt him with bad
eggs we care not copper what his
reputation or religion may be; if his
babies dread his home coming, if his
better half swallows her heart every
time she asks him for a five-dollar
bill, he's fraud of the first water,
even though he prays night and
morn till he is black in the face and
howls hallelujah until he shakes the
eternal hills. But if his children
rush to the front gate to greet him,
and loves sunshine illumines the
face of his wife when she hears his
footstep, you can take it for granted
that he is true gold, for his home is
a heaven and the humbug never gets
that near the great white throne of
God.

WHAT PUBLIC HEALTH MEANS.

The tubecle bacillus, the typhoid
germ and the other little pests which
lie in wait to bedevil the human race
pay no attention to what religion we
profess, what party label we wear,
what rent we pay or whether we spin
a buzz car or walk. We all look
alike to them.
In the fight for life which we are
making against these prevalent foes,
oughtn't there be unity? How fool
ish to miss easy chances of combin-
ing our battle strength.
Spurred to it by the international
congress on school hygiene, the
common council of Buffalo has pro-
posed that the school houses be made
the rallying points of adult society in
this war for health. 1t wants them
opened for the free discussion of pub
lic health questions-which is equiv
alent to saying the free discussion of
all public questions. For you can't
have free discussion democratically
without contributing to health
health of mind, health of soul if not
Immediately health of body.
We are coming to see that every
matter of our common welfare may
be translated into terms of physical
or psychological health; that over
work is health problem; that the
biggest asset there is in human. life,
rich and useful and happy human
life; and that, therefore, nothing
which interferes with the develop
ment of such life is foreign to the
subject of health.
So while opening the schools tc
grown folks at night for the study
of what we now call hygiene is good
it really means much more. II
means the establishment of new
means of human salvation, the pres.
ervation of democracy.

which causes him to whistle and sing
as he goes about his work, and when
he meets you on the street, a pleas
ant smile, speaking louder than
words, convinces you of his sincerity.
The rich man, with a mortgage on
every other house in town and with
bank account, may be happy, but
his happiness is not of the heart
neither does it manifest itself as does
the true happiness that radiates from
the countenance of an honest work
ing man.
