I'VE fight in vain for a clean nation
until we have clean cities. A clean
man cannot be detached from a dirty
political machine Rotten politics in
the end can mean only rotten business
and rotten conditions generally.
politics in municipal government
has had its day, and the record is be-
fore us. Greed and graft have been
its crop and we have reaped the har-
vest. The Chicago vice commission
said that $15,OOO,OO0 a year is the
profits of vice in this city, and, on the
face Of such a showing as this, certain
elements in this city actually have
had the nerve to ask that the people
here license this business by creating
a so-called segregated district.
"DalIas Doesn't Scgregate."
Dallas, Texas, has segregation, ana
recently citizen there, in driving near
the district with myself. said 400 deni-
zens were to be found in the place.
While / was there a grand jury made
a report saying that $500 such women
are to be found in that city. Segre-
CATION does not segregate in Dallas.
"C'hicago has taken a new step by
being the first city in the country to
adopt party municipal platforms.
While I firmly believe in nonpartisan
elections in cities. yet this first step
ia indeed an important one. Now with
this I should like to see the people
of this city enter the vigorous ana
unmistakable demand that the full
recommendations of the vice commits
sion be put into effect and not stop
their demand until the city admins
tration has complied with every one of
them"
Mr.. Riis last night was detained in
Pittsburg at the exact time he was
scheduled to address the progressive
mass meeting in Chicago.
II did not see any of the flooded
district" he said, las it was night
when we passed through part of it.
My first accurate knowledge of con-
dtions was gained from the Chicago
newspapers this morning"

Some Helpful Suggestions

Here are some suggestions l have
found helpful To remove ink stain from
CLOTH Make weak solution of oxalic
acid and pour through the cloth or let the
cloth lie in 1t short time. If the liouid
is too strong it will destroy the cloth
Rinse IN clear water as soon as the ink
is removed. To relieve Group: Quickly
place the palm of the hand lightly around
the throat, letting it cover the hollow
of the neck. The warmth loosens the
mucus.
Good cheap coolSies Two eggs. one
quarter cup butter, one-half cup lard,
one-half cup water. one sup sugar. one
half teaspoon each of soda one table,
spoon salt. If one wants these for snaps,
add enough flour to make the dough lust
as soft as can be rolled thin. Bake in a
quick oven If not for snaps add more
flour and do not roll so thin. f. H.
What you say of relieving Group re-
minds me of night many years ago when
a patient suffering with larHygitis could
sleep only when warm hand was placed
over the hot spot" in the throat The
even and semi-moist temperature of the
warm palm had a snguary soothing eff
feet in cases where there is a persistent
tickling In the throat and an nsistent
cough. With a case of genuine Group it
is well to send at once for physician.
Still. the hand poultice'' may be used
until the doctor comes. We thank you
for your excellent suggestions.

Cucumbers for Winter Use

Mrs. G.. d. n. wanted to know how to
salt down cucumbers for the winter so
they will not become soft or spoiled We
always do this at home, so | viii tell you
my method; Cucumbers should not he
handled much because whe nthey are
bruised or If the skin is broken they viii
not keep. In cutting them from the vine
leave at least one-half inch of the stem
on the cucumbers. Into stone jar put
layer of cucumbers and a layer of salt
until the jar is full; cover and put
weight on the contents. When they have
settled YOU can fill the jar again, and so
on. Do not wash the cucumbers before
YOU pack them. When they are taken out
soak in cold water, changing it often until,
by tasting, you can tell IL the salt is out,
then bottle or fix in vinegar. The stem
should not be removed until the eucum-
bers are put into the vinegar. This Will
keep them nicely throughout the winter,
and are better than you can buy.
