There is nothing wrong with the
foregoing excepting that it is wholly

time credited the Underwood tariff

This paper has at no time blamed the
former protective tariff for any for

Portland Oregonian TO make such
claims Is an insult TO fairness and in

What the East Oregonian has point

business prosperity coupled with cir-
cumstances Of supply and demand has
more to do with wool prices than doe.

by the fact the price Of wool under

was the price two years ago when the
high tariff was in effect and before
the presidential campaign had even
started II is shown by the fact wool
is now higher than it was a year ago
when the tariff was still in effect
though revision was underway. 1t is
shown By the fact wool is now higher
than in 1908 when the high tariff was
undisturbed but prosperity was at a
halt because Of the 1897 financial
panic.

Miolan Carvallio, whose real name was
Caroline Felix, was a famous French vo-
calist, who was born on New Years Eve,
1899. She made a great reputation in
Paris as an opera singer of brilliance
and great dramatic powers.
Mrs. Caroline Wilson. whose birthday
was New Years Eve, I7S7, was the ninth
daughter Of an English farmer. She was
given a fairly good education at home
and at seventeen she was sent to Lon
don to complete her education and from
there she went to live with an attorneys
family near that city for the sake Of be-
ing introduced into London society.
For a few years Caroline was en-
crossed with society and pleasure, but
she soon developed a very highly re-
ligious nature, and began writing on edu-
cational and religious subjects. She
gained celebrity as a hymn writer, her
two best-known hymns being, Christ
our Example" and often the Clouds of
Deepest Woe" It was not till she was
forty-four that Mrs. Wilson was mar
ried. and with her husband she lived
many years in Paris. She was celebrated
for her remarkable beauty.
Anna Quincy. who was born New
Years Eve, 1885, is an interesting example
OF perseverance and endeavor under very
adverse circumstances. When she was
ten months old she suffered from a NAL

so that she could never go about with
out being carried.
Possessing a remarkably active mind,
Anna Quincy was not daunted by her
physical defects. She studied Latin,
Greek, Hebrew, and. after mastering
these, she took up AngIo-Saxon, in the
study Of which she earned lasting repu-
tatiOn. From her couch she made sew
eral very remarkable translations of
original Anglo-SRxon documents which
had never been put into English before
Later in life she mastered Danish, Rus
sian and Swedish and made many trans
lations in these languages.
Her greatest interest outside the study
of languages, was the cause OF emanci-
patton. and she did great deal through
letters and writing to bring about the
emancipation of slaves in the British
colonies.

TURKISH women are proverbially fond

above all others is that which We call
Turkish paste or Turkish delight. To

blespoonfuls of powdered gelatine in half

color and pour into inCh-deep pans. The
Turkish recipes say to oil the pans. but
unbuttered pans are sometimes used.
Sprinkle the top of the paste with
chopped almonds and sugar, and when
1t is cold cut it into squares. The paste
can be favored with creme de menthe

and i'm the summer they grow it in their
garden-if they have one. But that Is

Why not make your favorite flower a
real and interesting part OF your life?
There is a young girl. who, to he sure,
can AFFORD to indulge her tastes, who has
given a good deal Of attention to her
favorite flower. 1t Is the clover, the big
red clover which grows in the fields in
summer. She considers the little white

red variety and when she cannot get one
she is satisfied with the other.
Her bedroom is suggestive of her flower.

MAKING CHEESE USEFUL.

The cook who really understands how
useful cheese can be made is never at
a loss for a savory dish to add Zest and
nourishment TO meal.
Many salads can be improved with the
addition of a little cheese; of many
cheese may be the main ingredient. Balls
of cream cheese and walnuts chopped or
broken rather coarsely are delicious with
French dressing on lettuce. Dates stuffed
either with cream cheese or with AmeTi-
can cheese broken in little pieces make
a delicious salad on lettuce, dressed with
oil and vinegar.
Cheese too. can be used to give flavor
TO vegetables. Grated cheese. Parmesan
or American. can be sprinkled over diced
cold boiled potatoes. seasoned with salt
and pepper. and these can then be put
into the oven until the cheese is melted
and slightly Drowned. CauIifiower can
be covered with a white sauce and graf
ed cheese and Drowned In the oven. Cab
bage can be prepared in the same way.
Rice or macaroni. not vegetables. but
served in their place some times, can be
cooked with cheese and white sauce or
cheese and tomato Juice.
