Responsibility Of Parents

The first witness to appear before
the Wisconsin vice commission Great
ed by the last legislature got at the
meat of the cocoanut when he test
flied that the wave of low morally
to be found in many parts of the
country was due chiefly to the i'm
proper supervision of young people
by their parents. "The parents are
greatly to blame" said DR.. c. A.
Harper, secretary of the state board
of health and the first witness. "fol
allowing their children to keep late
hours, eat large dinners and stimulat
ing foods, and attend many dances I'M
properly chaperoned. The desire OF
a young girl to gain social position
often leads her to leave the straight
and narrow path of virtue"
He might have added that parents
are likewise lax in permitting boys
and girls to go unaccompanied on the
streets at night and in failing to keep
them at heaNhful employment. En-
tirely too many parents think their
children are wiser and better than
other children and are hence to be
entrusted with more liberties.
Young people of today are not nat
urally different from young people OF
the past. but, if we may Judge from
juvenile court records "a great many

How to Make MQldn Lace.

Once more we nave reached the
point in the revolution Of fashion
when laces. especially the real ones,
must have the old look now required
by the costumers in making up lace
trimmed gowns. There is way to
make new lace look old. which. so far
as color Is concerned. cannot be told
from the priceless heirlOoms.
All that is needed is a newspaper.
Strips Of newspaper are cut trifle
wider than the lace is to be tinted. To
these the edges of the lace are careful
ly sewed. A roll Of newspapers about
the size Of an ordinary mailing tube
is then made. and the lace trimmed
newspaper strips are then rolled
around this smoothly. The whole is
then sealed and laid away. In the
course of few weeks or months the
lace will have acquired the most per-
feet "Old" color. A hundred years
couldn't produce any better results
than the newspaper properly put on.

BOOKS ARE NEEDED
Library Board Requests Donation Of
Books to the Public Library BY
All Who Have Them

The Aberdeen Public Library will
hold a formal opening next month
as soon as the librarian, Miss Rhine
hart, completes the classification OF
the books and other necessary
changes she is making in the institu
ton. The board desires to secure
more books, but the city authorities
do not feel justified in adding to the
tax burden this year, so that it was
decided to request donations of books
Almost every household has a few
Volumes which have been read, and
which they will not read again, which
would be welcome addition to the
the library, and all who can are urg.
ed to select what they can spare and
donate them.
Donations of books may be of any
size or description. All that is nee
essary is to telephone w. O. McCaw
chairman of the board, at 222 or tbs
library, 615 and give he number OF
volumes which will lie given. The
board will send for the books and
after catalbguing, will place them in
circulation.

more children get into difficulties now
than was formerly the case. The lati-
tude they are allowed is greater, how.
ever, than was the case with young
people a few decades ago. Particular
ly is this true of girls.
1t is pathetic to see innocent girls
OF 16 or II years on the streets
tricked out in ultra-modern fashions
and ogling the boys or being ogled
by them. They do not understand the
perils. Their experience in life has
been too brief. Their innocence and
vivacity may be their undoing.
If parents give the matter at all
serious thought, they seem to pro-
coed on the assumption that the Of
ficials will guard their children. Some
thing may be done in that direction
yet how impossible it is for the eyes
of the law to keep efficient watch on
the pleasures and pastimes of the
young.
We can't get away from the fact
that the primary and chief duty rests
upon parents. If they do not take
watchful interest in their children,
the state certainly can not be depend
ed upon for protection.
1t will not do to assume that any.
thing can successfully take the place
of home and parents in the moral up
bringing of children. 1t is dangerous
to entertain the theory that the state
can or should supplant the home. Less
attention to socialistic schemes of reg
ulation should be given and more to
individual responsibility and the home

Hints
How to Use stale Bread.
A penny saved 10
. penny earnsd.-
Benjamin Franklin.

The modern housekeeper Is likely to
buy loaf Of fresh bread every day
at the bakers, but our grandmothers
made their bread at home and used
up every scrap Of one baking before
baking day came around again.
Here are some of the ingenious ways
in which one grandmother disguised
stale bread so that the most pernick-
ETY. child she had would not know 1t
from brand new dish.
Cut squares of very hard bread two
inches thick. steam over boiling water
for twenty minutes and serve hot.
with butter and maple strip.
Or cut the bread in one inch squares,
put in a colander and dash cold wa
ter over them. Then fry the squares
in butter until they are delicate
brown Break two eggs over them.
cook three minutes and serve imme-
diately. This is particularly good for
breakfast.
Another way is to make our old
friend. French or Spanish toast. which
is good for breakfast or luncheon. Cut
rather thick slices Of bread. dip in
milk. then in beaten egg. and fry
delicate brown. Serve this very hot
and, If possible. with maple strip.
If you happen to have whole stale
loaf left over. here is fascinating
way to use it. Cut Off all the crust.
put 1t on tin and set in the oven
to dry and brown. When it is light
golden brown lay 1t on the mOlding
board and crush fine. Then cut the
crustless loaf into pieces one inch
thick and two or three inches long
Beat two eggs very light. add two cup
fuls of sweet milk and pinch Of salt.
dip the pieces Of bread in the mix
ture. roll in the fine breadcrumbs and
drop them into hot lard. When they
are fried nice brown put them on
hot dish and sprinkle thickly with
sugar and little fine cinnamon.
A really delicious pudding can be
made in the following manner: Take
rather thick slices Of bread from which
the crust is trimmed Butter these
slices on both sides. Heat a can of
rather tart red or purple plums, put
layer Of fruit in the bottom Of pud-
ding dish, then layer Of bread and
butter and continue until the dish is
filed. Set it in the oven for five min
utes to get heated through. Then re-
move it from the oven, cover with
plate, put weight on it and set where
it will become thoroughly cold. Eat
1t with cream and sugar. Tart cher
ries may be used in place of plums or
blackberries. and there should be plen-
ty of juice, so that the bread may be
saturated.

OIL FACTORY ASSIGNS

George S. Heath made a voluntary
assignment for the benefit of his cred

New York Politics

Governor Suffers break with Tam.
many was the very best thing for
popular government that could have
happened. To be sure, it has brought
upon him the enemity of powerful
politicians and assaults of all kinds
have been made upon his character.
But all Governor Sulzer needs to do
to be triumphant is to stand faithful
and true to the public welfare If
he has made mistakes-as all, men
have-in the past, they will not be

PRESERVING HINTS.

How to Make Delicious Pickle That
Can Be Recommended.
An easy way of canning cherries and
way which preserves much of the
beauty Of the cherries Is to bottle
them after they have been washed.
dried and pitted and to put two ounces
Of sugar In each bottle. Then cork
them tightly and put the bottles in
cold water Bring the water to the
boiling point and boil gently until the
cherries are covered with juice. They
are then done. Cool them in the wa
ter, push the corks in more tightly
and store them away.
Raspberry vinegar makes a refresh
ing and easily prepared beverage, and
the vinegar Is not troublesome to
make. Cover four quarts of red rasp-
hours later scald and strain the mix
ture. Measure the juice and add
pound Of granulated sugar to each pint
of juice. Boil twenty minutes and bot
tie. This connection will keep for
years. When it Is to be used add
tablespoonful to glassful Of cold wa
ter.
To make spiced currants wash. dry
and stem the currants. Measure them
and for four pounds allow pint Of
vinegar and two pounds Of brown sug-
ar. Add half cupful Of whole spices
tied in thin muslin bag. Cinnamon,
cassia buds, cloves and allspice should
be included. Boil the spices, sugar
and vinegar for ten minutes. skim and
add the fruit Boil until the currants
are tender; then put them in jars and
boil down the strip, pour it over the
jars and seal.
Spiced cherries are less usual but
no less delicious pickle. To make them
boil six pounds Of granulated sugar
with eight pounds of stoned cherries
for twenty minutes. Remove the fruit
and put it in scalded Jars. Add two
tablespoonful Of ground cinnamon
tied in piece of cheeseclOth, a table
spoonful of whole mace. a tablespoon
full Of whole cloves. a pint of vinegar
and boil the sirup down until it Is
thick. Then pour it over the fruit and

How to Make chiIdren's Guimpes.

Why is it that children's guimpes are
not sold as reasonably as white lawn
dresses Of the same quality? One
mother. after looking in vain for every
day guimpes at a low price, turned to
Il bargain counter offering dainty white
lawn dresses. Here she solved her diff
ficulty. She chose those with a rather
full ruffled skirt and no other trim
ming except a narrow edging at the
neck and wrists. She did not wish to
sacrifice the quality of material for the
elaborate embroidery with which bar
gain counter white goods are generally
advertised.

Outgrown Tax System

County Commission Locke is emin
emily correct in denouncing the tax
system of this state as antequated
and calculated to retard rather than
assist in the development of the
state. But few states in the union
now levy direct taxes for the support
of the state government, although all
have started out with the direct tax
system. 1t has long been in the dis
card, and methods adopted that are
tantamount to county option in tax
alton.
Ever since the State Tax Commits.
sion was created, that body has, in
each report to the legislature, recon.
mended change of the revenue laws
to the more modern plan, but with
out effect. The truth is, that taxa
ton is an unpleasant subject, one
which the average individual only
thinks of twice year, when the as
SCISSOR calls and when he pays taxes,
so that we have wiggled along with
our annual grumble and made no eff
fort to change the law.
Writing on the subject, T. D. Rock
well, then member of the state tax
commission, said:
at has long been the desire of this
Board that the system of taxation in
this state be changed. A careful
study of the question convinces us
that just as long as we pursue the
present methods we can never have
a fair and just taxation of the prop
erty of this state. We do not en-
thuse about people who find fault, but
offer no remedy, so while investigat-
ing the trouble, we have also worked
out the remedy.
"The first and most important thing
to be done is to separate the sources
of state and local revenue. This
means that certain classes of inter
county property. such as railroads,
telegraphs, telephones, express, sleep
ing car and private car companies,
should be taxed for state purposes
only, giving to the several counties
absolute home rule on the question
Of the taxation Of local property I'm
der this plan, the state would not tax
the property Of Chehalis County; Che
halls County would levy such taxes
as it saw fit and as might be neces-
sary to properly conduct it's county
government. 1t could exempt such
property as pleased it. If it desired
to exempt from taxation the mills and
factories, which have done so much
to build up the county, it would be
its privilege to do so. Under this
system, the state would in the be-
ginning have to levy probably, only
a very small tax to raise the state
school fund-the common school fund
of the state, but in time, as the
sources of indirect revenue increased,
we believe this could also be taken
care Of. and possibly we might reach
the condition of Wisconsin, where
they raised enough money for their
state government under this system
and had something left which was
distributed fairly among the differ
ent counties"

HOW TO AVOID ACCIDENTS
WITH KEROSENE LAMPS.


The two great and very real
dangers In connection with
lamps are dirt and carelessness,
and to these two causes are at
tributed most lamp accidents.
Lamps with metal reservoirs are
safer than those Of glass or chi
ma. as the former. If upset. can
be picked up and replaced be-
fore the oil can escape. OF course
the oil used must be of good
quality.
There is no saving. but some
waste and some danger in poor
oil. Bad oil clogs the wick and
the burner, besides giving off an
unpleasant and very dirty vapor.
Never turn down a lamp. 1t Is
meant to burn with the flame at
full height. and when allowed to
smolder in this way 1t will either
smoke or smell and most GER
tainly heat rapidly and become a
distinct source Of danger.
An alcohol lamp should always
be placed in a shallow dish, as
it Is liable to run out on table or
dresser and ignite. Never keep
the alcohol bottle near the light
ed lamp. Do not pour fresh alco-
hOl into the tank If there is burn
ing char on 1t. for the entire con-
tents may burst into flames.

But Few Are Like Him.

In these days when personal privi-
leges, if not actual rakeoffs, are eX-
pectcd to go with so many public
Offices Hon. Jim Woodward, Allan
ta's mayer, is regarded as somewhat
of a marvelby his friends and enc
mics alike. When Mr.. Woodward
found out that the Music Festival
Association was going to tender him
season tickets for the opera, merely
as a compliment to him as mayor,
he announced that he appreci-
ated the compliment, but had rather
buy the tickets. Such scrupulous-
ness on so small a matter might be
criticised as Phariseeism by those OF
the opposite political camp if it We're
not that only three or four days age
the mayor took the same high stanC
when the city council passed a res
olution authorizing the purchase 0
an automobile for him. He yetoe'
the resolution. and told coun
ell if~they had that much money t
throw away they had better give
to the food sufferers.
Like other men the rugged oil
mayor of Atlanta may have hi
faults. but his integrity is unQue'
toned, his good old horse-sense
conceded, and his love of the commo
people stands out as one Of his dom
nant traits Humanity would be he

HOW ABOUT THIS?

From the Worth County Local.
We have been preaching a trade at
home policy for some time through
the columns of the Local, bu. today
we received a splendid illustration of
the carelessness of people in this
line.
We received d letter from the clerk
of the superior court at Triton. To
our surprise the envelopes and letter
heads were printed by a Northern
firm, and embossed
Here is a man who gets his living
by the taxes of the people in the way
OF fees. There are one or more good
printing offices in the county who are
heavy tax payers, and yet he has to
send his money to a Baltimore house,
(Not his money, but the peoples
money, for his stationery is paid for
by the county commissioners from
the taxes collected.) If it were his
money it would be bad enough, but
it is actually some of the money col
lected from the Triton printers sent
abroad for printing.
Had that money been spent at
Triton it would probably have paid
many times the value of the print
ing in debts in the county and have
still been in the banks ready to pro
mote public enterprises.
If he had saved money to the coun-
ty there would have been some eX-
cuse, but this is not true, for the
Triton printers do work cheaper than
any we know of. and the embossed
stationery he is using cost nearly as
much again as the printing his con-
stituents use, ordinary printing.
Moral: Trade at home.
