SOME OCTOBER DISHES WHEN COOL
DAYS WHET APPETITES.

Change of temperature always
means a change in foods; that is.
changing from hot to cool days, but
still keeping in mind that our foods
must be seasonable. Most of the
summer travellers and vacatiouers are
home getting settled for the cooler
days of the autumn.
Our appetites are much keener
than in the hot weather, when cool
ing drinks, salads and more dainty
dishes are the foods we crave. But
the real Joy of food is from a healthy
appetite which needs the frosty Oc-
tober days to have 1t right On edge
and make pumpkin pies, doughnuts,
baked young chicken, gingerbread
and even just plain whole wheat
bread and butter taste as it never
can at any other season of the year.
Why do we eat? Well, most peo-
pie would tell us because they like
food and it tastes good. True
enough, but with that We should have
one big object and that is "eat for
efficiency"
A mans thoughts and purposes for
the day are largely gagged by the
| food he eats.
So. in the enjoyment of good sea
sonable food properly cooked there
is no doubt about its physical and
mental effect on us.

Tho Democratic Tariff Plan.

Senator Burton, the Ohio man, who is
one of the leaders in the Republican
side of the upper house at Washington,
may have been unduly influenced by
partisan considerations. when he de-
clared in the senate chamber recently
that the democrats had adopted tariff
policy blind to every consideration ex.
cept that of the consumer. But the
very lack of faith possessed by the dem.
ocrstic members of congress with ref.
erence to any demerit possessed by
protection justifies the statement made
Senator Burton that the bill frankly
was not framed to encourage capital
to enter new fields of industry or to
extend those already established; it was
not devised for the purpose of inviting
our farmers to reclaim new acres for
cultivation; it is certainly not calcu-
lated to enlarge the opportunities for
labor to find profitable employment.
It's sole justification is reduced cost of
living If it fails in this, it faily ut.
terly."
Another statement made by Senator
Burton should be noted in connection
with the recent newspaper talk OF lob
bies at Washington and that is there has
been lobby here in behalf of foreign
manufacturers such as never before
witnessed in the history of this nation
and they got even more than they asked
for.-Cadillac News and Express.

Proposed Tariff Referendum.

The American Protective Tariff Lea
que addresses the following letter to
the readers of The Times:
1.-The Underwood. Simmons Tariff bill
new under consideration by the con.
gress, proposes the most sweeping re-
auctions of tariff duties upon imported
mel chandise of any measure since the
bill of 1916 as amended by the bill of
1857. History and personal experience
tells us of the disastrous effects of those
measures, which were even more SER
ious than the effects of the Wilson bill
of 1894
The voters of the United States did
not cast their votes in November, 1912,
for the drastic action as outlined by the
Underwood Simmons Tariff bill, and as
measure of this kind affects every
citizen, we feel that the substitute for
this measure, introduced by Senator
Gallinger of New Hampshire on July
IS, 1918, ought to be published general.
~, together with your views upon the
proposition presented. Mr.. Gallinger's
substitute for the Underwood. Sim.

Whereas tariff bill III. R. 3321) is

States Senate; and
Whereas any tariff bill affects every
citizen of the United States either
favorably or adversely; and
Whereas the Democratic Party has
repeatedly declared it's adherence to the
policy of referring national matters to
the electorate; and
Whereas in several states now rep
resented, in whole or in part, by Demo
cratic Senators there is strong disap-

pending BILL Therefore be it
Resolved, That further consideration
of the bill be postponed until the first
Monday of December, nineteen humid.
