EASY DISHES.

Food that can be prepared at sho-, notice, and simple menus for a quick meal. the recipes for which should ha close at hand
 One of the most enjoyable soun. may be made in a short time if a can of tomatoes. little milk and season. ings are to be had. One reason why many women lose their heads in an emergency is the idea that they hays no background to begin on. Hays a list of dishes for quick meal with ingredients printed in two columns so that quick glance will tell you If you have all the materials.
 This is the time of year when ws are making our plum puddings. and fruit cake. our mince meat and little cakes which are improved by age. If one has simple suet pudding which may be easily steamed in a hurry over the teakettle in sieve. a sauce Is prepared and your dessert is ready
 Woe to the housewife who does not keep many cans of tomatoes on hand
 
 up by oneself, cost half as much as those you buy. A dish of hot, well seasoned tomatoes poured over but. tered toast and sprinkled with cheese will make quick and most tasty luncheon or supper dish.
 Milk toast is another easy to make supper or luncheon dish. Add cheese to the white sauce just before serving. and that makes a change. little cold ham chopped and added to the white sauce is an acceptable change.
 Some cooks who are good planners have the pepper and salt mixed to- gether in shaker where it is in reach of the hand This saves at least two movements of the arm. Where powdered sugar and cinnamon are used for coffee cake. flour dredge may be kept stocked with the mix ture. When preparing pastry, mix up enough for several pies: do not wet the four, but take out the amount needed. and put the rest in a cool place until wanted.

of the militants. They claim they
will so to still nor desperate lengths

TARIFF GUESSES AND CERTAIN
TIES.

New York Post: Washington dis
patches are giving details of the new
tariff bill. The accounts cannot all
be true, for they eat each other up.
Wool is to be free, and also to be
taxed. The same is the case with SUI
gar. AS for the income tax, that is
to have a variety Of forms to suit all
fancies. Eut there is no end to the
tariff guessing: it is plainly such
when it processes to disclose particu-
lars. For these, sensible folk will
wait till they see the bill. Whatever
it may prove to be, it cannot be the
cr%azy-quilt which is all that could be
constructed out of this more or less
ingenious guesswork.
Passing this by, there are some
things in regard to tariff legislation,
which, in the nature of the case, can
be counted upon as c%ertainties. That
the revision will be serious and thor
ough must enter into all reckonings.
This is not merely a question of plat
form promises or electoral mandates.
It is really 4 matter Of life or death.
