CHANGED POINT OF REFORM
Uncle Rastus at Least Was Honest In
His Acknowledgment Of Prev
Ious Lapses From Grace.

The colonel had demonstrated Wig
orously with Uncle Rastus about the
old darky's persistent excursions into
the state of inebriation.
Uncle Rastus, though he promised
faithfully to refrain from frequent dips
into the flowing bowl, failed to live up
to the coloneIs expectations.
On numerous occasions the colonel
saw Rastus under the influence of liq-
uor, but the Oakley when taken to task
stoutly denied the accusation, affirm
ing emphatically that he did not drink.
One evening the colonel met Uncle
Rastus in a condition which made it
plainly evident that the darkey was

Short HatpIn Law.

We have observed a disposition In
the newspapers outside of Massachu-
sets to belittle the law against long
hatpins that will become effective
early in April. There is one excep-
ton, however. The New York Sun,
which used to boast that it Shines
for all" takes a sane view of the mat
ter. THE protection of life and limb"
declares the Sun, cannot be deemed
sumptuary legislation. Is it not rea-
sonabie to approve the Massachusetts
statute just passed providing that the
deadly end of hatpins worn in public
shall be sheathed. The rapier Is not
less beautiful with foil. The hat
pin scabbard can be made esthetic;
the fears of man can be allayed, his
miserable life spared Sovereign wo-
man can still STAY with her eyes; she
needn't put out the other. fellows"
No, she need not, and 1t is within her
power to make the penalties of the
new law harmless by setting the fash
ion of wearing protector. Let her
heed the advice of the Sun and make
the scabbard of the hatpin esthetic.
AS already suggested, let the feder-
ated clubs address themselves to this
troublesome problem and the affair
can be settled to everybody's satisfac-
tiol within a very short time.-From
the Lynn Item.

FACE ALMOST COVERED WITH
PlMPLES AND BLACKHEADS

Atchison, Kan.-"For a number Of
years I suffered very greatly from skin
eruption. My face was very red and
irritated, being almost covered with
pimples and blackheads. The pimples
were scattered over my face. They
were a fine rash with the exception Of
a few large pimples on my forehead
and chin. My face burned and looked
red as If exposed to either heat or
cold. 1t was not only unsightly but
very uncomfortable. 1 tried several
remedies but couldn't get any relief.
I was recommended to use Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment.
II applied the Cuticura Ointment in
the evening, leaving it for about five
minutes, then washing 1t of with
Cuticura Soap and hot water. I wash
ed with the Cuticura Soap and hot wa
ter also several times during the day.
After about four months of this appli-
cation, my face was cleared of the
pimples. 1 still use the Cuticura
Soap" (Signed) Miss Elsie Nelson,

"THE GRANARY OF
NORTH AMERICA"
GOVERNOR sULZER SAYS THAT
OF WESTERN CANADA.

The close ties Of friendship exist
ing between the United States and
Canada we're dwelt upon in addresses
by Premier Robert l.. Borden, of Can
ada, and Governor Sulzer, at the an
nual dinner Of the University Club of
Albany.
Canada and the United States"
said Premier Borden, "have common
heritage In the language, the litera-
ture, the laws, the institutions and the
traditions which have come down to
them from the men Of bygone days.
Perhaps no more instructive object
lesson ever has been given to the
world than the four thousand miles Of
undefended boundary line from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, which bears
silent but eloquent testimony to the
mutual confidence and respect of the
two nations. Time will shortly place
upon the brow of each nation the lau-
rel of one hundred years of peace. 1t
matters net so much as to the form
Of the outward celebration, but let US
hope that its full Significance may
sink deep into the hearts of both ma
tions, and that, whether north or south
of the boundary, we may stand with
bowed and reverent heads, offering
grateful thanks for the Divine blessing
of peace, and earnest prayers that in
the century to come, mutual confidence,
goodwill and respect may truly ami
mate the ideals and aspirations of both
nations"
Referring to the natural resources
possessed by the United States and
Canada, particularly along the St.
Lawrence River, the premier urged
that they be preserved and developed
for the people,"
Governor Sulzer predicted that the
"Great Canadian Northwest is designed
to become, before long, the granary of
North America"
Many of our best citizens, regret
to say" said the governor, ARE leav-
ing the States of the west and going
into the Canadian northwest, because
of the fertility of its soil, the lib
crafty Of the Canadian government
and the ability Of those people to bet
ter their conditions here.
1--WE should extend to them help
] ing hand in their onward march of
progress. Instead of closing our doors
by tariff barriers against these coun-
tries and their products, in my opinion,
we should open them wider and do
everything in our power to facilitate
closer commercial relations. We want
their products and they want our prod
ucts, and all restrictions to prevent q
fairer and freer exchange of goods
wares and merchandise should, in SO
far as possible, be eliminated. AID

Youthful Diplomat.

Lola, five years old, wanted a pair
of skates, but as she was very naughty
in school and always seated in the
last row, father would not get them
for her. He compromised, saying that
If she were bright enough to get in the
first row she could have them. A week
later she came home saying she was
in the first row. Father said: Fine!

NEEDS SOME PLANNING
BUT TO THOSE FOND OF sHAD.
COOKING is WORTH WHILE.
Properly Prepared, It May Be Made
to Serve Several Meals-PIanked
Probably lie the Best Of
All Ways.

This is the season for shad. II a
popular vote we're taken as to which
is our most delicious fish, probably
shad would come out far in the lead.
But the housewife who caters for a
small family is inclined to regard
early shad as a pretty expensive lux
ury.
1t does, in fact, call for some clever
planning, but fine roe shad can be
made to serve for several meals and
at the same time satisfy the most
critical appetite. This Is made pos
sible by first having the shad split
using one-half for baking, the other
half (the bone side) for broiling. The
roe can be served at still another
meal In any one of number of ways.
The famous way of cooking shad Is
planking it, q method that has been
handed down to us by fishermen. who
utilized driftwood instead of pan.
They baked the fish on the wood, and
the fumes of the cedar or hickory
favored the fish SO deliciously that
this makeshift custom has been
adopted by epicures all over the
world.
Planked Fish.-Planked fish should
be baked on board of cedar, hick-
ory, oak or ash. Place the board in
the oven until very hot. Now paint
the board with butter or olive oil,
place shad on it, season with salt and
pepper. If fish has been split place
skin side downward on board. brush
with butter or olive oil, and dust with
salt and pepper. Basic often and
bake until golden brown. This takes
from 20 to 80 minutes according to
thickness of fish. Serve with parsley,
lemon, sliced pickles or maitre d'hotel
butter.
Maitre d'Hotel Butter-This is
made by working one-fourth cup but
ter till creamy. then add one-half tea
spoon salt, one-eighth teaspoon pep
per, one-half teaspoon chopped pars-
ley, then one tablespoon lemon juice
and one tablespoon Worcestershire
sauce. This may be served hot or
cold as desired.
Baked Shad.-Remove scales and
insides, wash both inside and outside,
and wipe dry with a cloth. Rub both
sides with salt and pepper. Grease
the bottom of a roasting pan with
butter or olive oil. This prevents the
shad from sticking Paint the top OF
fish with olive oil or pieces of butter.
Place in a hot oven for ten minutes.
Now take pan out of oven for a
minute and cover the fish with the
following mixture: Three-quarters OF
can of tomatoes, one green pepper
and two onions chopped fine, one ia
blespoon of sugar, one teaspoon OF
salt, one-half teaspoon of pepper.
Bake for 20 minutes. basting occa-
sionallv Serve on platter garnish'
ed with parsley or water cress
Broiled Shad.-Remove scales
split and wash. Wipe fish dry. Grease
the broiler well with oil or butter,
place shad with the skin side down.
ward on broiler. Now have a good
hot fire, hold shad near the fame SO
as to scar over the outer surface at

fame and cook for twenty minutes
Melt three teaspoons of butter, add
one teaspoon of salt. one-half tea

Postmasters Are Warned BY 5urieson
TO Keep Busy.

Hereafter postmasters in the larger
Offices Of the country are to be held
strictly accountable for the time and
personal attention they give their Off
oiaI duties. Postmaster General Bur.
Ieson announced yesterday that he
proposed not merely to discourage
bat to stamp out. the practice said TO
be followed by many first and second
class postmasters Of imposing a con-
siderable part Of their duties upon
subordinates in order to utilize the
time for personel ends.
Furthermore, the Postmaster Cen
erali in making recommendation for
appointments to these offices, will re-
quire. in addition to the usual quail
fieations, an assurance from the APP
plicant that his whole business time
will be devoted to the duties of the
position
at rs the policy of the administra-
tion,' said statement issued from
the department to require IN ait
cases conscientious and efficient SER
vice from its officers and employees.
Clerks and carriers are required by
law to serve eight hours daily, and
the Postmaster General sees no rea-
son why the postmaster. who Is the
highest paid employee in the office,
should not give at least an equivalent
in time and effort.
The postmaster is selected for the
position which he holds because of
his presumed superior ability, and it
Is not fair to the government that he
should employ in other directions
qualifications which should be placed
at its disposal 1t is believed that If
all postmasters, instead OF leaving
their proper duties to subordinates,
honestly devoted proper amount OF
time TO the personal supervision and
direction of the work not only would
the service gain in efficiency, but CON
siderable economy would be effected. -
