Mr.. Hammond explained that the

Political Executions In Mexico

Ell Paso, Dec. 21.-Additional re.
ports of wholesale executions of polit-
ical offenders in the interior of Mex

at the national capital in the last
week. Reliable reports from Chihua-

been killed there in the last month.
Many former federal army officers,
as well as Carranza supporters are
named as having met their death. In
most cases the killings ere accom-

Culinary
Notes
E~conomizing on Meat.

Meat once a day is surely enough for
health. Let us draw the line at twice
and make u third meal without it.
Tastes differ. and most men would
rather have a meat breakfast and a
bread and cheese lunch, while women
would oftener be happy with a break
fast Of rolls and coffee, if only they
might have Il good midday dinner and
a solid tea. Numbers of women care
nothing for late dinner and only pre-
tend to eat it to keep their men folk
company.
With one good meal Of meat or fish
or game and an abundance of bread.
fruit and some sort of fat, there is no
possible chance Of starvation for any
body. The various ~savories that are
invented to take the place of meat at
the third meal really are meant to take
it's place M taste and. above all, in
Imagination. to smooth the temper
and allay the fears of those who do
not like anything to eat except meat
and game and fish or things favored
to taste like them.

jury to report for duty in Helena on
January 2 to hear a number of crimi-
nal and civil cases which have been

There are a large number of crimi-
nal cases which will be disposed of
during the coming term of court. Ben
Longear, who was convicted last spring
of second degree murder, will have

ton for a new trial. The Indian con-
tends that he has uncovered valu-
able evidence which could not be pro-
duced tt the first trial.
AL Thinker. another Indian convict.
ed of manslaughter at the fall term of

discovery of new evidence as we'll as
other material allegations in support

racy, will be set for trial at the com

Big Losses In Eggs.

New York, Dec. 21.-Between the
hen and the consumer there is an es'
timated waste in eggs of 5000, 900 ,OO0
annually in this country, according to
William Mann, attorney for the New
York Central Railroad company, who
testified today at the inquiry into the
butter and egg business of the state
by the attorney generals Office. Mr..
Mann placed the value of the annual
egg crop at $500, 900, 900.
The witness said that not more than
6 out Of 10 eggs laid reach the con.
sumner. OF the 5000, 900, 900 waste, he
added O,OOO,O 900 is due to needless
breakage of eggs in transit from the
nest to the retailer. The balance OF
the loss represents unnecessary ad'
ding, spelling and deterioration OF
good eggs due to poor handling.

NEUTRALITY AND LIMBURGER.

There have been many complaints,
on the part of German-Americans and
Germans wothout any hyphen, that
the American people are unduly par
tial to the allies in the present war.
For the most part, there is little real
reason for believing that the Ameri-
can people as a whole favor One side
more than another. But the pro-
German element have at last been
provided with a logical substantiation
of their charges, as the press dis
patches announce that a Pennsylvania
preacher has discovered a process
whereby limburger is deprived of it's
odor.
Such an assault upon one of the
most cherished of all the Teutonic in
situations would hardly be classified
as neutral under any circumstances,
says the Kansas City Journal. With
a great war going on and with Ameri-
cans being charged. whether rightly
or wrongly, with opposition to the kali
ser, there is something ominOus in this
ill-timed invention of the Pennsylvan-
ia pulpiteer, regardless of the. fact
that millions will rise up and call him
blessed, if half of the obvious benefits
of his discovery are realized. h an
nouncement is more than ground for
suspicion. 1t is positively psychology
cal. For what the aroma is to the
rose and the bead to the CHEEKY brew:
what crowns are to kings and jewels
to ladies fair: what anything absolute
ly indissociable is to that with which
it is indissolubly linked.-that is what
odor is to the limburger, and lie who
dehOrns or otherwise denatures it sue
ceeds merely in robbing the cheese of
limburger Door indeed.
Our German friends have every
reason for preferring charges of SYM
pathy with the allies against the UNI
suspecting brother in the common
wealth named for the good Quaker,
who has struck a body blow at Teu-
tonia itself. One may expect an in
dignant outburst of the Juror Teu-
tonicus'' as soon as the news gets to
DiXmude, and it may swell into a
thunderous roar of patriotic indigna-
ton by the time the American news
papers cross the Rhine. Viewing the
matter from this side of the water,
however, the Pennsylvania parson,
evidently proceeding on the theory
that no cheese ought to be strong
enough to walk. is trying to go down
in history as the mar who made it fit
for the average American to eat.

PROHIBITION AS NATIONAL ISSUE

While the Hobson resolution for sub
hitting a prohibition amendment fail
ed to ecure the necessary twO-thirds
vote in the house of representatives.
more than one-half of the members
gave the proposition their support. The
prominence given to the subject by
this showing will probably make pro-
hibition one OF the national issues in
future campaigns.
In a review Of the success of the
r yament in the last general election,
tt Cincinnati Enquirer says political
leaders are viewing from all angles
the evident determination of prohibi-
ton leaders TO push forward this ques-
ton as an issue in the campaign of
1916.
The position Of the progressive par
I; on this subject is fully understood.
1t stands for prohibition. and in states
like Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Pennsyl-
vania and possibly New York. by the
returns OF the late election, it still
holds the balance of power as between
the two older parties upon the popular
vote Of each OF these states.
A leader forcing that issue in the
democratic party during the coming
two years is assured of the support of
nearly every southern state to start
with. and the state and local leaders
of those states would be absolutely
powerless before the sentiment that
.~-1l L. =, A., ,> ,>,
that subject. "
Few republican leaders in the north
or the west can guarantee their party
against it at a primary election, and
if they should carry through to NOM
ination a state candidate opposed to it
they would have to look for democrat
ic votes in most of the states of the
north to secure the election of such
candidate. if his opponent was a prOhi-
bitionist and the issue was fully made
up.
The advocates of prohibition go up
on the principle that this question can
never be settled until it is settled
right. and in their view it can eve
be settled right until it is made eff
fective throughout the Union.
The call from Nebraska and Wash
ington for action by the democratic
party favoring prohibition as a demo
cratic issue is not the Call of an in
experienced politician, nor has it beer
made without careful consideration as
to the national effect. There would
no NO halfway hnncn in a notinNa
contest upon this subject. and politi
cal %straddlers would surely be in ;
very embarrassing position.

When Baking Sponge Cake.

There are numerous reasons why
sponge cake will rise at the sides and
fall at the center. Here are some OF
them: Too hot an oven will cause a
very light cake to rise rapidly around
the sides and fall in the middle. An eX
cess Of sugar will make the cake fall.
\ cake will drop if the cake mixture
is too light with eggs n baking pow
der, when it needs more -four. The
shock of slamming an oven door will
ruin the baking process. and the cake
must not be moved in the over until
the mixture has set. If the cake is
removed from the oven before 1t is en-
tirely done it will collapse.
